The In Crowd is always a fun challenge... for us lurkers, anyway. It can show how some people on this tribe are truly perceived. Were there any shocking revelations or any predictable results when you saw the list, or when seeing anyone's answer for a particular question?
- Hey, was gonna go entirely off script, but instead decided to use these question as a guide and if I have anything additional to say after I’ll get to it. So, not to sound like a cocky asshole, but there were not many shocking revelations at the last challenge. I have this Ancha tribe pegged pretty well because I listen and remember what everyone tells me, as I’m so desperately trying to find my place on this tribe. That challenge should’ve proven to everyone that I know what’s going on and it honestly baffled me that people still couldn’t trust me enough to tell when I was actually trying to be genuine with them.
After the challenge, it seemed like things got pretty spicy in the IMs for everyone. Can you recap it and tell us what went down and how you felt about it?
- I ranted about this already, but ugh. They’re all gonna be like JR did this, JR did that, blah blah blah. What actually happened is I tried to make my signature move and not one person I tried to be genuine to returned the favor. Everyone ran to Abe and told him of my intentions and Abe being the emotional player he is, started to go wild. This should’ve shown everyone how powerful of a player he is, but no, unfortunately these players aren’t very smart. I’m sorry that I’m being a dick, but after three votes don’t go your way even though you have a good understanding of the tribe, it becomes really frustrating. And Sara, if you’re reading this from the jury right now, I genuinely wanted to make this move with you. As for the future I don’t know, people kinda always saw you as a big threat.
Do you think trust is starting to change in anyone? Any allies becoming enemies, any enemies becoming allies? Or are things the same as it was days ago?
- Unfortunately, I feel completely alone in this game. Leslie and Shan ultimately were the reason this Abraham move didn’t happen last night and I will not forget that. I will still play up the im with you 100% narrative because it seems like I don’t really have any other choice right now, but y’all should know that I no longer feel any loyalty with anyone. Anyone is fair game at any vote, and I’m going to play the game of, wow if you let me get to the end, none of you deserve to beat me because I literally took you on 1 vs 8 and still managed to make it to the end. It’s not how I wanted to play, but nobody has returned loyalty to me, so I’m not going to half ass relationships in this game and get manipulated.
Finally, how are you feeling after tribal council? Who did you vote for and why? Any regrets? Love or hate the whispering? Leave no detail behind!
- Well, I’m feeling pretty terrible after tribal. You know where I voted and why. No regrets, this was the move that should’ve happened and needed to happen for me to take control of this game. The whispering is needed, but clearly not effective enough.
Additional Notes
- I don’t want you guys to mistakenly think I’m giving up. I’m playing until my torch is snuffed. But that being said, I know that I am a huge underdog and simply surviving vote to vote will be a challenge if I don’t win immunity from here on out. I think there’s a very good chance I go home tonight if I don’t win immunity, but we’ll see what I can do. “Keep hope alive.” -Russell Hantz
