This Luv Shack is bullshit. I came in 2nd place in Luv Shack votes all three times and didn't get in, but did I bitch? Only a lot, and only behind your guys' backs. Now this round, I almost definitely would've gotten a shot at a Luv Shack reward, and there's no vote? You're breaking my balls.
Whatever, because I'm pretty much on cruise control until the merge. Mary is also almost certainly gonna be at the merge, so at least I'll have an idol to work with.
Kass predictably messaged me and expressed faux relief that Marissa when MIA at the right time, and that's the only reason Kass is still alive. I continue to play dumb and feed her scraps of misinformation. I hinted that my Golden Bond had already been voted out and hastily tried to cover up that I hinted at that. I don't know if she took the bait, but I'm going to assume she thinks I won't have an idol.
Right now would be a good time for a double tribal council. If it is, I'm gonna throw the challenge hard. No need for everyone to know that I'm good at puzzles. If it's not a double tribal, maybe I'll actually get to be the hero for once instead of posting a bunch of songs about jacking off for no reason at all.
One last thing that I forgot mention in my episode one confessional: I totally got the most roses in that first challenge. I think everyone missed that "Whoever gets the most roses will have an advantage in an upcoming individual challenge" bit in the instructions. I just let Silas and Yul and Ethan and Spencer fight over the big ol' blue and orange roses (go Gators) while Bobdawg cleaned up the pink roses with Taj as my only competition. I think I got 15 total when all was said and done. I hope I'm still around when that advantage comes up so I can act surprised.

I read this whole thing but then forgot everything you said when you said go Gators. Bye.

Yul has a plan. Heads up errybody Yul has a mothafuckin plan. Okay, it was really my plan, and I influenced Yul towards the right answer, but he got there mostly on his own so as far as he is concerned, it's his plan. First, he said "Hey, let's have the five of us throw the challenge and vote out a girl" and I countered that we'd be completely SOL once JR and Cliff realize that they're on the outside, then we'd be 5 against 7 and get picked off. Then he happened on the right plan:
We bring JR and Cliff in. This might not have been possible if I wasn't so damn likable, but we bring them in and execute the plan as a tribe. 6 of the 7 of us will throw the challenge so the NuFiducia tribe is 6 guys, 1 girl. We vote that girl out and then immediately vote out another girl at the joint TC afterwards, 7 guys to 5 girls.
Cliff is onboard, which is awesome. JR will listen to me since I'm his closest bond on the tribe. The rest of the alliance (Silas, Spencer, Ethan) will go along with it because why the fuck wouldn't they? So we'll be good to go. Since I have the lowest time and am therefore the most likely to earn individual immunity, I'll be the lone wolf staying on Potenza.
PRESUMABLY we then merge afterwards at 11, and there's 7 guys, 4 girls. Then we Pagong the girls; then we nix JR and Cliff. Then I have final 2 deals with 2 of the 4 guys left with me at final five. This is all the "ideal" and PLENTY of shit will probably change over the next 12 hours, let alone the next 12 days, but this is the general roadmap right now before the detour signs get put up.
I underestimated Yul. I don't say that with a "Holy shit Yul's dangerous we need to take him out before too long" sense, but with a "I'm proud of this dude for kicking ass right now" sense. He came up with a solid plan that just needed a little polishing, and if it gets executed, we're golden. Idols and Luv Shack rewards could fuck it up, but going into the merge up 7 to 4 would give us a lot of room for error. Fingers crossed.

This some silly shit.
The new Fiducia is 5/2 guys/girls. They're gonna vote out Gillian probably, and then we'll have a 7/5 vote to take out another girl, probably Kass. Then the tribes will be:
Fiducia
Ethan
Yul
Silas
Cliff
Jean-Robert
Taj
Potenza
Jefra
Mary
RC
Spencer
Tha Dawgsta
Jefra came to Spencer and myself immediately and said she wanted to work with us, so if we get sent back to tribal, we SHOULD be able to hold a majority. Ideally though, Fiducia would start tanking challenges to vote out Taj, then Cliff, then JR. That would bring us down to 8, and if we're still not merged at 8, then shit.
Mary came to me and said "Hey, help us vote out Silas at the joint TC and I can guarantee your safety until the merge." I have to ride or die with my boys right now though. She's disappointed, and she said to me "Silas is their biggest challenge threat. Get rid of him, and then you don't get exposed to tribal council with us probably" ... Super threatening, right? She offered me this deal assuming that this wasn't a plan for all of the guys that involved throwing future challenges to keep me and Spence safe. Spencer and I are WAY behind enemy lines right now, but we have to trust our team to pull us through. Or we have to trust that Jefra is volatile enough to flip. At least I know I'm guaranteed final 11, right?

If our alliance was five of me, none of this shit would've happened. You talk to the people at the bottom of the totem pole. You make them feel accepted. Maybe that's not Survivor 101, but it's definiely Survivor 102. Of course JR would flip on you guys, you dumbasses. If y'all never talk to him, why would he want to be loyal to you. I did my best, but hey there's only so much one Dawg can do. Now JR should be going home, but we've got another problem at the joint TC. It's gonna be 6-on-6. Yul has a vote doubler for us to use to make it 7-on-6. Gillian's power is apparently useless in a vote and Kass's just got used, but we don't know what Mary or Spencer has. Hopefully we can utilize Spencer's power to give us the majority and kick off the next part of the game.

The short story is that we're putting out vibes that we're voting for Mary and voting for Kass.
The long story is that Yul fucking believes the girls when they say they're gonna flip and vote out one of their own. Aww apparently Taj, Gillian, Kass, Jefra, and RC are ALL willing to turn on a girl! Holy shit this is gonna be an 11-1 vote! In your fucking dreams kid. They all seem really intent to "flip" and find out who the target is, which makes me suspicious but NOT FUCKING YUL. Let's run through a series of events here:
1. Mary, Kass, Gillian, and Taj all clearly ATTEMPT to throw the tribe split challenge, signifying they are desperate to remain together.
2. Jefra tells Bob she is willing to vote out a girl.
3. Taj tells Yul she is willing to vote out Mary.
4. Gillian tells Ethan she is willing to vote out Mary.
5. Kass tells Bob she is willing to vote out a girl.
6. Mary tells Bob that if the target is on her that he should not attempt to save her.
Which is more likely:
a. They are telling the truth
b. They are attempting to find out information
Yul says a. I say b. I think that Mary's got a power that can partially protect someone from a finite number of votes and needs to know who to play it on. Yul thinks we need "numbers" and should vote against Mary to try and get one of the girls to vote with us. Yul DOESN'T think that "We are voting for Mary" will immediately get relayed among the girls even though we're doing the same thing with everything the girls are saying to us. We tell the girls who have put out "flip" signs that we're voting Mary. If any of them do flip, great. That's still a number in our favor. If not, we're still good, assuming Spencer actually comes online sometime in the next day. Ugh I'mma fucking scream. I'mma do it mang.
(For a more eloquent description of how I feel, refer to Chapter 6 of The Art of War, which basically says "Fight 'em where they ain't")
