And once more, immunity is mine!!!!
As finals get closer im thinking more and more about this game and just how awesome its been for me. Im sure you could shoot holes in my game but honestly while it may not have been my most heroic showing, it has been an incredible game for me.
Ill get more into this in the morning. For now I have some sleep to enjoy. I really love the end game. I don't get to enjoy it much. There's just something great about lasting the 37 days or so. Looking back at the game, feeling that sense of accomplishment seeing just how much you've done... god it really is awesome.
I've gone on a small immunity run. 2 in a row, and a deep point. Not awful. Ill admit part of it is I get scared to death near the end game of losing on all that I accomplished, so I work 3x as hard. The other part is a small amount of distrust towards Lex, but an even greater part is that when I go to the jury I want to look like I wasn't just blindly believing my friend the Bastard. While Id argue my faith in him isn't blind its hard to get people to thnk about the world in the way that you see it. Its easier to play off what they've got their hearts locked on.
People are constantly asking me" do you really trust him? REALLY?
" And they all worry about me trusting a bastard like The Bastard but.... well...
I do trust Lex, because we think alike. Beyond the manipulation game, beyond loyalty, beyond strategy, we both think alike at the core. Putting aside winning, or making other people look like idiots, or having fun, we both have something we value quite a bit that maybe most people don't get.
We're both fans of a good story.
Really, crafting a story is an art. And we do what we do for the art of it. All throughout All Stars we've talked about people's arcs and how they've ended. Sierra rage quitting and losing it, Jenna's lapses into inactivity taking herself out tragicly, Brendan self voting again, Darrah leaving first like the fallen queen she never was, kim getting the idol out... think of how FITTING its all been. You couldn't wrote a story better if you tried.
All Stars really has been a thing of beauty. And it should end with something incredible.
When this game started, Lex and I agreed to work together. We agreed to be better than what we've been before and do something truly amazing. We said we were going to manipulate everyone, and go to the end together. We said this before we ever even checked in. And now the end is close.
Yes, we could betray each other here. I wouldn't hold much of a grudge and it would be incredibly smart for one of us to annihilate the other. And all I ever ask is that people be smart. If I hadn't won immunity, if I had been vulnerable, if Lex had voted for me and destroyed me here and I got forth, I would go to jury, play up my anger a bit, bitch him out at ftc and make him stand on his head the entire time while doing flips and cooking up pancakes or something stupid like that just to make myself laugh a bit, and then I would vote for Mr. Pancake Mcheadstands. He would win All Stars, very deservingly, and that would be that. And I would be OK with it.
But the other option is just so much BETTER. Its easy to be one person and manipulate everyone and screw them all. I could do it, Curtis could do it. Its something else entirely, though, a work of BEAUTY to form an unbreakable alliance, work together, trust each other entirely, and get not 1 but 2 to the end. I know Lex. I know he's seeing it the same way that I am.
There's no better ending to the story we've both made than to be the final 2 or die trying. There's nothing else that fits, and that is what I am banking on.
That, and immunity wins.
