PUTTIN THE DAWG TO SLEEP
Well last night was probably the worst night since the game has begun for me. Silas, a person I trusted went home. It hurt my game a bit beacuse I know Silas would be loyal to me and also not target me. More then anything I am no longer in the driver seat. Mary/Jefra really are the true ones in the driver seat at this point. THAT is why in Survivor you can never give up because the tables turn all the time.
I had a sneaking suspicion Spencer would be my downfall and I was right. His lack of time on AIM probably drove him insane and he decided to make a move with Cliff.
Now the good news is Cliff and Spencer still want to take me to final 3. Since Day 2 or something we've had "THE CUNNILINGUIST" alliance and in reality I never took it too seriously but now it's my only chance, for NOW.
A major issue right now for me is the prescence of Bob Dawg. Bob Dawg as I've said ALL season long is a very smart guy and his relationship with Cliff is def. scary for my game. Cliff and Spencer both explained the situation this past round. I have to say they BOTH did approach me asking to work with the girls but of course I declined in hopes that maybe only Spencer would flip and Cliff would stay true to his words and vote Jefra out. Didn't happen.
Silas went, but the key situation here is I got 0 blood on my hands for a major boot. Now...Cliff told me it's the best move for us 3 (Spencer, himself and I) and to trust him and yadda yadda yadda. Cliff is well aware either girl CAN NOT make final 2 or else they'll automatically win. Spencer is also aware and Spencer admitted to me that he made the call, he spoke with Cliff and said listen, Yul doesn't want to do this but we have to take this into our own hands, Yul will understand. Then they pulled the trigger on Silas.
So I know at least I am guaranteed on a final 6 unless Mary, Cliff and Spencer are ALL playing me in which case I am fucked either way.
If it were anyone else OTHER then Bob Dawg I would just sit back and ride out the next two rounds but the way I look at it there is ONE spot left for final 5 and it's between Bob Dawg and I. So I have divised a plan on possibly trying to get out Bob Dawg this round.
Plan A failed miserably, I went to Cliff and talked to him about the vote, he doesn't want Bob Dawg out now no way no how. BIG SURPRISE..NOT. I asked Spencer and he wasn't totally against the idea but he knew no way Cliff would go for it. I could've basically tried to turn Spencer against Cliff but no point in that, it's too early and Spencer HATES Ethan with every fiber of his being, I have no idea why? Maybe some tiff they had who knows.
Now before I explain option B, Cliff had told me to continue siding with Bob Dawg and Ethan because they didn't want Mary and Jefra knowing I am with them. No problem BUT at the same time he doesn't know Mary and I have been talking since the merge. So I thought to myself...
Plan B. I will approach Mary and tell her my true feelings on the Bob/Cliff connection in hopes she sees what major threat they possess as a duo. I have to make her seem vulnerable and the one who could be targeted. I wanted her to know they could easily get rid of me next round after Ethan then Bob/Cliff and Spencer gang up on her and Jefra. From Mary's point of view she knows I wouldn't do that because I've been working with her and #2 I voted against Cliff/Spencer.
Mary and I sent each other PMs 2 of which really detail everything I said above. I am going to post them in separate posts below this so this isn't one long ass confessional.
To summarize I am down but I am NOT out. This is what Survivor is all about, sometimes things will go your way and sometimes it won't. I am well aware I am not in the driver seat right now, I understand that and I accept it but it doesn't mean I am just going to roll over and die. I won't be carried to the final 6 or 5 or even 4 only to be chopped. FUCK THAT. Survivor is about adapting to situations and that's what I plan on doing with Plan B. I said there is always a Plan B before. Will it work? Probably NOT but hey, it's a shot in the dark, maybe it may hit something. If not then I gotta keep fighting the good fight. I have to play it round by round for the next 2-3 rounds.
At this point I have allegiance to NO ONE, I can't afford it. Whatever can make me get to the finals is what I will do, whatever way i see fit to best pave my way to the finals is the road I will take. Bob/Cliff know each other from a prior game, Jefra/Mary know each other from a prior game and I know Spencer/Cliff probably have a side final 2 deal. With that being said I have made relationships and bonds from scratch from the beginning. I have clawed my way to the final 7 and will continue going. First thing is first, we have to put the DAWG to sleep.
