So I am now on Verrad...

If we don't merge at 10 then this could have been a fatal mistake so I am now just hoping for the best. I at least have immunity and get more points so that is the upside. Actually I think losing may be best because then Erinn would also be safe and I would be safe, but long term again if there is no merge I think I royally screwed myself.

Strategy now is to help Rob because he is the person I trust the most.

I am still very confused on who is actually tight. I don't know if Lex and Rupert are aligned with Brett or if Brett is closer with all of Fengbau. Lex kidnapped Alina saving fengbau and he and Rupert voted out Rob last tc so that to me all seems that they are together. Brett also showed me a convo were the chat was called friend chat and Brett Lex and Rupert were in there and they were all saying vote Rob out... Hm

They are all a bunch of frenemies...frenemies with numbers I don't have. Then there is Austin who I know has a rocky history with Colleen and Brett yet they kidnapped last round and all of Fengbau voted together last round.

Brett also said they voted Todd out because he is after Lex. I know Lex and Brett and Rupert and Brett are friends but have trust issues...

UGH I am so paranoid and confused on what to do...it seems like they are together but what if they aren't? I don't know which way to go.

I'm so "show that Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof created" right now and never felt this confused before.

I will just go with my instincts when the time comes.

I'm going to tribal council again...its become my new home really.

I am trying to break some records here...being the only person to be a member of all 3 tribes...ie im a tribe whore.

Also I am tied for most tribal councils

I probably also broke the record for doing most deeppoints without even winning.

This I think will be a strong case if I make it to the end of the game, in the fact that I have had to deal with 2 tribe switches being in the minority both times, and starting the game in a minority position. I also have been vulnerable to go home most times and still managed to come out alive.

Anyway...this round my strategy is simply...Rob needs to stay. I need to break up Lex and Rupert and I would love to get lex out because he is strong in any comp that involves games I think and so is Brett and they are a strong duo...but I think the smartest thing is to vote out Rupert. Lex at the beginning of the game told Brett he thought i would be after him so I can use that as a reason to "go after" Lex. Lex already asked me who Rob was voting for and if I would tell him so that means he has something up his sleeve, but I am not going to tell him anything.

My plan is to talk to Brett and if he asks me who I am voting I will say probably Lex...hoping that he will tell lex that we are voting him so he plays an idol or something but in reality we vote Rupert and hopefully rupert leaves.

I like rupert but I think that is the safest bet because I do not want whoever I vote out coming back into the game now, and I think lex would have a great shot so that is why I am not voting him
