Ep. #14 - “It’s raining. How appropriate.” (Collin)
hello again nerds!! this transition from final 6 to final 5 is a strange one but i think im getting to be positioned in a very good spot, but unfortunately im somewhat in the middle of the sides. picking which side to go with was difficult but i think it makes so much more sense to stick with eric and julian because i've been working with them for much longer and want to stay loyal <3 i feel SO bad bc Isabelle has been such a sweet pal to have in the game but i think she is the top contender to win the game at this time. im hoping that eric and julian and myself can maneuver ourselves into the final 3 and then i can win the final immunity! ttyl :))
It's f5 and I'm starting to think my game is so successfully under the radar that I'm not even considered under the radar. I have f2 deals with Abby and Julian, f3 deals with Abby & Julian and Abby & Collin, and potentially another f3 with Julian and Benji. I don't think anyone expects anything from me but I've been super super middle and it's clear I've made connections that could keep me safe all the way to f3 and maybe even to the final 2. For now though, I'm really hoping to win the duolingo immunity challenge to guarantee my spot in the f4 so I have a seat of power.

Benji idoled out 2-0

--- https://youtu.be/DoQQayS36tI i told benji as soon as he got to ponderosa about the zach-abby sibling connection, and shit immediately hit the fan. all i gotta say is my villian legacy lives on.
--- https://youtu.be/MkMfGNnr8yo
voting for abrielle was definitely the dumbest move I've made in my org career. Benji played me only to quit the jury right after. More so than making the move, I'm just offended at myself for being naive enough to believe someone who from my perspective with everything ive seen in the past dayish has no respect for the game to stick around for a week or so to vote someone to win (regardless if I'm sitting at f2 or not). at least julian didn't flip so we're both in this together and can hopefully tie it up. we both know collin and abby are the bigger threats to win especially since they had potentially locked jury votes before f5 tribal even happened while Julian and myself are probably not so liked by the jury. right now im just debating with myself whether I really deserve to be in the position I'm in. it's a rough battle because this game has been so mentally exhausting. This cast was far more than I could handle in a quarantine setting and I can't wait for this all to be something of the past.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay i didnt go home
--- SOOOOO ur girl had a successful idol play at the final 5 immunity and did what she came here to do!! to recap, the entire round benji was really pushin me and collin to vote with him against julian and made me feel so guilty bc i loved working with him but knew i had to stay loyal to eric/julian. collin had said he would prefer to just lie to benji and say we were going to vote julian so benji wouldnt get upset but it made me feel so guilty that i told him during tribal (he was very very very mad at me oop!) i almost didnt play my idol bc i didnt want to make my allies feel bad but i did anyway bc i couldnt waste the chance to redeem myself and use something i worked so hard to get. and that went GREAT bc my two closest allies flipped on me and decided to vote me out, very very bittersweet. overall the day as a whole and the tribal were so overwhelming, and its at the point where the game is hitting me hard. fast foward back to today where im about to play the f4 immunity and i am SHAKING i am so scared, because if i dont win i know my name could be written down at tribal and i could lose my chance to win when im so close to the end. but im thinking happy thoughts and manifesting a win, a hail mary, or anything that could get me a little bit closer to the end. fingers crossed as usual!

A 2-2 vote between Eric and Collin resulted in a tiebreaker challenge. Collin won, making Eric the 8th member of the jury.

Ep. #12 - "I won most honset” (Eric)
Ok f7, lots of thoughts so here we go! 1 - Touchy Subjects Touchy subjects for me went better than I expected. I got pretty positive ones except "won't survive on an island" and I was like ok that's probs true I won't even lie (get it, because i won most honset. yes, honset. not honest). 2 - Voting plan for this tribal. Most of us want to vote Johnny out. He's evaded elimination multiple times and by saying he was expecting it in main chat it kind of makes any of us that chooses to save him look dumb. He is a legitimate threat and while he could help my game, it's too risky. He needs to go now. 3 - Alliances and Long-term plans Before this my alliances went like this (ranked by my loyalty to them): 1) Myself, Julian, Abrielle (final 3 "deal"?) 2) Myself, Julian, Abrielle, Isabelle 3) 2 but with Collin 4) little side thing with Johnny where we have cute genuine convos but I know I can't keep him around for the good of my own game. I think my perception of my alliances have completely changed in the last day, however. While Touchy Subjects didn't change my opinions, it definitely affirmed my suspicions that Isabelle is dangerous and needs to go. She definitely has been with both sides and will get votes from players i'd consider stubborn in their gameplay such as Adam and Michael (votes I would never possibly get unless I was against Abrielle or Julian). While the plan to eliminate Isabelle was thrown around, my allies an I decided it's too risky. Getting Johnny out now will be best for our game. Then we can hopefully get Isabelle eliminated next, followed by Benji. There have been other new developments forming, however. While I had a f2 deal with Julian, I think I might have just made one with Abrielle, as well as a f3 with Abrielle and Collin?? skjfhdksjfhasdkfhds I'm currently very intrigued by both final 3s I have, though I think Abrielle and myself both stand the best chances of winning if we were the final 2 together. Julian would probably get more credit for his game for being a louder player while Collin will probably get votes from the newbies and perhaps the other players he's worked with in the past. This game is honestly a complete clusterfuck and I just hope I make it out alive. 4 - Miscellaneous things I need to mention. I do have the best sense of humor in this game. Also everyone in this game is a complete mess and more so than making it to the f2 for a chance of winning I want to so I can avoid not having to interact with the jury as long as possible. I didn't even do anything to any of them (I mean I voted some out but I didn't lie and it wasn't a blindside or anything) but I can tell its a chaotic mess there and I really don't need those vibes in my life rn.

Johnny voted out 6-1.
Ep. #11 - “It takes one person to flip” (Isabelle)
The last couple days have been kinda weird. After calling out disrespect I felt in the game by many of the players, I ended up having a pretty productive and entertaining call with Johnny that lasted a long time. While I don't trust him at all, our conversation opened up dialogues that could help me due to the fact that he won immunity so I can't betray previous loyalities this vote to work with him. Obviously I'd prefer to vote out either Benji or Adam this round, as they are the two I feel least aligned with. After Benji flipped on us when he, myself, Isabelle, Abrielle and Julian were supposed to vote Johnny, I lost faith in him strategic wise. As for Adam, we never talked game and it's apparent that we will never work together. My main alliance is currently with Abrielle, Julian and Isabelle. Abrielle, Julian and myself were already a three person alliance since the Monty vote since at the time it looked like we were out one by one. We had a plan of the 5 of us as said before to vote Johnny, but Benji was not for it after the creation of the plan and ended up leaving, but not before Isabelle gave very critical info that Michael basically forced everyone to split the vote 3-3 Abrielle and Julian (with Isabelle intended to be on that plan). We had a 4 person call and basically established ourselves as an alliance to hopefully make the final 4 together and chose to vote Michael in case any idol was played (since Benji had no loyalty and could have easily leaked the original plan to him). There is also a 5 person alliance with us 4 and Collin who doesn't seem to want the others in the game (though I doubt it). I'm gonna play nice with that but since there are 8 people left, I just hope whoever our 5 vote works and then we (I) will think long term.
I’m pretty worried that tonight is the night I’m going home. Johnny’s convinced that Isabelle and Benji are gonna join the old minority to vote me out, but I think I trust at least Isabelle more than he does. In any case, it’s certainly the most vulnerable I’ve felt before a tribal during the whole game. If I do get voted out, I’ll still be satisfied with how far I’ve gotten during the game, though, especially given the number of returnees who were playing.
so last tribal i somehow didnt go home AND blindsided someone who was targeting me throughout the game (sorry michael oop) and now i think im in a super good spot, big chilling with my idol hehe :))) i think ive made a really good connection with julian/eric as a group but also have reconnected with collin. my relationship with isabelle is also getting more solid which im so excited about. benji and i had a call today that went really well and it seems like we might be a duo that goes to f4 together. im definitely playing the middle again, hope i dont get caught and i hope it gets me to the end!

Adam voted out 6-2
Ep. #10 - “This is the safest route to make sure that none of us (read: me) get idoled out of the game″ (Michael)
Oh boy, the Bodhi Alliance is in such a phenomenal position now. We have half of the tribe in our alliance and we have Collin attached to us as a number if need be, but we can dump him after just one more tribal and we'd still have a majority, which is terrific. I feel great; it seems like the hard part is behind us, and ahead the next hard decisions will just be when we have to start whittling ourselves down as we get close to the final two.
The game has come back. Primary objective: keep the 6 together. Secondary objective: get Julian out. He doesn't trust me, Benji is planning sneaky things with him, and I don't want anybody having secondary options but me.
Honestly as if my game couldn't get any worse, I've pretty much been completely ignored besides some convos that are clearly weak damage control attempts. No one wants to talk game, and I could barely even get ahold of the people that are supposed to be on the bottom with me. I don't know what happened to get me so to the bottom, but what I understand even less is what made me deserve to be completely disrespected like this. I've treated everyone with respect day in and day out and I am getting repaid with less than nothing. If I get voted out tonight, I sure as hell am gonna be a bitter juror. Not because I got voted out, but because of disrespect that I take personally. No one ignores me like this and gets away with it. Never
The smart thing to do is split the vote 3-3-3. If one of the people on the bottom found the idol, this is the safest route to make sure that none of us (read: me) get idoled out of the game. I want Julian out because of his ties to Benji, but Abby would be fine too. I think Eric should be the last person outside our alliance remaining, in case I decide to go the route of flipping on An with Collin, Adam, and that final person
---
Johnny just proposed a final 4 with me, Collin, and Adam, aka the 3 people I have a final 2 with. That is absolutely perfect for me, terrible for Johnny, and I don't think Johnny realizes that. For the first time, final 2 is feeling like a real possibility, but I have to make it through tonight first (please go away idol).
---
Collin proposed to me a cockamamie plan to blindside Johnny tonight, which I'm obviously not doing and immediately talked him out of. What this does show me is that Johnny's perception of his ties cannot fully be trusted, so I do have to take some of his relationship talk with a grain of salt. I don't see why that piece of info matters right now, but it is noted.
hahahahahahahahaa i GOT IT BITCHES THE IDOL IS MINE CIERA EASTIN OPENUP96 CAIN AND ABEL AHAHAHAH
---
anyway julian and eric are my lifelines in this game and everyone else (who have been ignoring me since they left me out of a vote) is trying to send me home ,sucks for them im probably going to blow up and play an idol. catch me THROWING hands and gently placing ppl under the bus!!! hahaha anyway pls give me immunity
well...... the alliance of 6 went on a call and decided to split the vote on abby and julian and send home julian then michael called me one on one and said that he noticed benji did not feel that comfortable voting for julian, so then i called my An trio then i sat on a two hour call just listening to what benji and isabelle did (or did not) want to see happen, and none of it was making any sense i hateeee that call the three of us just had, but im honestly past the point of giving a fuck because it's clear that all the confusion is due to the fact that benji is playing both sides and isabelle never wants to take a stance..... UGH i know julian and eric are being adamant about wanting to vote for me, but benji is "not budging" and saying he wants abby out now apparently.... collin went to almost everyone in the six (everyone except me) and proposed the idea of just getting the vote to be unanimous on abby, which is truly what i'd want to see happen most, except for the fact that julian wants me dead... whatever. this round is stupid and annoying . it's because everyone is playing the field, and keeping good relationships with everyone, which to me, makes it seem obvious that everyone has other thoughts going into their head that don't involve the alliance staying cohesive in the middle of our 2 hour call, benji was like OKAY I GOT IT JULIAN IS DOWN TO VOTE FOR ADAM!! And I was like "...... down to vote for adam?" i just think that benji is really carefully looking at julian/eric as end game options, and im just going to have to damn near refuse to vote out adam, michael or collin next round...... this is just gonna be a shit show of a tribal and im not ready for it, and honestly, i think im most annoyed at the fact that my closest allies are not seeming to be very transparent with me sigh. if i get voted out this round, monty is never ever going to let me live it down
Benji and Isabelle, mostly Benji, are making me insanely nervous in the lead-up to this vote. They're actively fighting against the split vote and I'm not sure why. I hope it's just a measure to protect Julian, but I'm petrified that it's more, and I need the split vote in case Abby has an idol. What should have been an easy vote has me incredibly scared
--- I also just want to note that in planning the split vote, I had Benji and Isabelle vote Abby, because I was worried that they might flip if assigned a Julian vote, this slightly minimizes that
Things are stressful right now. Michael seems convinced that Benji and Isabelle are up to something untoward, and tonight is set to be crazy close; 3-3-3, if all works out. I'm desperately hoping that things work out as planned, if Michael's voted out tonight and the Bodhi Alliance breaks up things are going to get a lot more complicated.
(after tribal)
For all the time spent worrying about Benji flipping, I was far less worried about an Isabelle flipping, which is a compliment or a detriment to her game. I need to see what her plan was. It's very disappointing because I was so well set up for the endgame, but she made the move and I'm out. So excited to ask her questions, whether it's in jury or as a member of the F2 (but I can't see her getting there at this point, I think her target is too big, we'll see).

Michael voted out 4-3-2.
Ep. #9 - “We're going to steamroll and no one can do anything about it” (Johnny)
i am very very very sad
My goal is to get Abby out this round. It's a logical progression from last vote that shouldn't ruffle too many feathers, puts the Bodhi alliance in a powerful position, keeps Collin in the game (potential endgame option), and I can take a backseat after the disaster that was last vote. My main final 2 options right now, in order of preference, are Adam, Collin, Johnny.
i love the hosts being lazy and giving us 2048
I just made my 2nd final 2 of the game, this time with Adam. I'm more likely to keep this one, I like Adam, think we can work together to the end loyally together, and I think I can work to make myself a more appealing winner pick than him throughout the season. (For the record, I genuinely like everybody in the game. Any negative comments I ever express are strictly about gameplay, not about personal vendettas. I am being cut-throat in the game and honest in my opinions, but that in no way reflects my personal thoughts.)
i can do a small written confessional because my e key is choosing to work today.... i think everything is falling into place, i just called with collin and he's SOOOOOOOOOOOO on board (i think lol watch michael get voted out at the end of this whole shindig).. everything collin is saying to me seems real, true and honest. i have no reason to believe that he's lying to me i wanted to vote for julian because he's being a fucking asshole and not finishing our conversations and leaving me on read, and he's the type of player that ONLY talks to the people he thinks he has TRUE numbers with anddddd the people he wants to work with, and im clearly neither at this point i kinda wanted julian to go home this round, but benji and isabelle REALLY preferred monty to go bc it draws less attention to us as a fivesome, and also puts less heat on me benji and isabelle PERIOD...... plus whoever we vote out here shouldn't matter because then we're going to steamroll and no one can do anything about it....... unless my alliance flips immediately but that'd be kinda dumb considering the LENGTHS we went to, to make this vote happen i feel really bad that im voting out monty, but i do NOT think monty has my best interest at heart, and also, we were apart for awhile and i kinda voiced my opinion on the michael v adam debate, and he did not communicate with me, which just makes me think he's hiding something AND AND AND its going to be fucking impossible to balance my alliance of five AND monty long term, so it's kinda smarter for me to get rid of him now. we've been kinda fake as fuck and i dont think he's being as honest with me about his thoughts as i want him to be. he knows how to earn my trust. he's played with me a small handful of times now and he should know that truthfully all i want is information/tangible ideas that make me think he's actually extending an olive branch to me also those last two paragraphs were truthfully just me justifying voting out monty, who i know i dont want to vote out, but everyone else does...... so. i gotta do it. cant let michael go home here at ALL and im putting up a super dangerous fight to make sure that michael actually stays

Monty voted out 6-5
Will walked
Ep. #8 - “Ciera Eastin Open the Ziggurat” (Zach)
:)
So we just merged which is awesome!! I'm glad that I was able to make it to this milestone in the game, but I'm honestly pretty nervous as to where things are headed for me. To start off, Megan just got voted out on the other tribe so I literally hate everything. Megan queen we miss you ): Having Megan out makes me concerned as well as Julian and Will. As the 3 remaining original Enlil's, we have the fewest people of any original tribe and it could be pretty easy to just knock us all out one by one. When hearing about what happened from Julian, supposedly he, Megan, Benji and Johnny were supposed to vote Adam out while Adam, Michael and Isabelle voted for Megan. The vote was obviously 4-3 against Megan though, and Julian said that Johnny had chosen to flip and vote her out. Johnny approached me though and was like "I wanna work with you!!!" and shit which I currently don't believe but at the moment I'll say yes to absolutely anything that will help me get further in the game. Obviously my loyalty lies with Will and Julian, but we need to pull strings to last as long as we can until things are no longer seen as original newbie vs. original flop returnee vs. original not flop returnee tribes. I'm playing as though the merge idol was found and I have to rely on myself and my allies to advance.
---
So Julian tells me that Zach is continuing his rat ways. after he decided to tell the people who were gonna vote me out that we were planning to vote out Jay he decided that is not enough rattiness for one ORG so he decided to run to Johnny with info Julian told him and uhh, yikes. I kinda feel bad for collin since he's guilty by association but maybe if he pisses everyone off with this enough we can actually send him packing this vote. Don't get me wrong he's a nice person and everything, but in the game.... no sweetie. He rly said "kage who? im the chaotic newbie now"
https://youtu.be/LKifx16fy9M
While I had some conversations today, none significantly changed the flow of my game. Key takeaways: Julian is leaking info and IDK if I fully trust him anymore, I think the other side is a bit closer than some of my allies do which worries me, Abrielle or a non-allied Enlil is my best target with Julian as a backup plan. For the challenge, since it is anonymous, I'll probably knock out somebody in my alliance. If I don't have immunity, with the number of people left in the game, better to have someone on their side win than somebody on ours. I might knock out Julian if I get the chance to pin it on the other side and lock him in with us

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSUXyiS7kxo&feature=youtu.be
https://youtu.be/o_QC1t8WKKw
So it turns out everyone is targeting Zach because everyone realized he's trying to be in the middle of everything at the same time which is perfectly fine by me. Something I do need to think about though is how this may impact my future game given there is supposedly an alliance between isabelle, johnny, adam and michael. On another note, I forgot to respond to abrielle's message when I thought I did yesterday so to make it up to her we are gonna have a call. I feel bad because me since merge was just trying to socialize and not strategize so not responding makes me feel more bad than if it were just for strategic purposes. Tomorrow has a lot of game planning ahead. Hoping for the best!

Collin just destroyed my game. he didn't know the decoy plan was that he was in the minority, so he messaged will that he would be down with the plan to vote zach, but collin is the absolute last person that should have known votes were going on zach. this exposed my efforts to save zach and painted a monsterous target on my back. I have to vote zach to disprove that. RIP my happiness with my game yesterday

Me yesterday: Damn I'm so good at this game Me today: Never mind.

Well, things have certainly gotten a little more stressful. There aren’t two clear voting blocs, so it feels a lot more up-in-the-air regarding how the vote is going to go tonight, and I know my name is out there. But I still have faith in my alliance coming into the merge, and I’m not too nervous. The plan is to vote Zach tonight, which I honestly wish wasn’t the case given that I think I could work with him in the future, but now he’s trying to put the vote on me, so I’m not protecting him.
https://youtu.be/86o4WsKF5S4
Like I've been told, Zach was voted out 9-3 (with collin and probably abrielle voting for adam with zach). While Will is telling me they are fine I don't really believe that and I'm nervous that we completely isolated them (though I didn't make any promises with abrielle about voting for Adam). Going into next tribal after the challenge, I'm wondering who would vote with us and who won't. Zach was on everyone's radar for playing a very obvious middle ground game, but no one else is playing that. I guess all I can do is continue to build my relationships with some of these other players and then try and open up talks for strategy to see if any options open up. I'm starting to feel as though I'm being treated as a sheep so I have to make some subtle changes to benefit me long-term.
