Before I say anything -- another flipping puzzle hosts? Yer killin me!! This one looks like it's less pieces at least.
Any Morgan mutinied??? Lol? I'm very interested to finally get a word in with her. She is going off in the group chat about how Coach is running shit and how Whitney is his little puppet or whatever. I'm like...cool. You're probably going to go home if Stacey pulls some sort of safety idol out of her ass.
I just don't know how I feel about this game. Like, I'm not being much of a social goddess, since I barely talk to anyone lol. I talk to Nick, Gabe, Danni when I see her...I was blossoming a relationship with Dan, but that got nicked in the ass. But yeah, everyone else I barely see? Which is kind of bad.
Whatevs. My goal right now is to make sure that I don't get fucked over. I have a SNEAKING suspicion that we are not swapping, based on the fact that we had a mutiny twist. The impact of a mutiny twist is kinda ruined when there's a swap. So I need to really work to make sure I'm in a good position in this tribe. Morgan and Stacey are two people who will probably go home before I do. After that, I dunno. Hopefully we don't get there.
So, I had a good talk with Morgan last night. Basically, she spilled all the details about her tribe. I think what happened is that Coach made a fake alliance with her, and pinned Sash as the "leader" of the tribe. He said that Sash was targeting Vince, and there was no way to save him. Well, Morgan got the votes to save him, but needed Coach's. Coach then revealed that he's the evil man behind the curtain and freaked out at Morgan. Morgan then becomes public enemy #1, and mutinies.
Morgan is now totally TEAM READ and wants to take out ALL those evil Davis jerks, one by one.
...unfortunately for her, I was not born yesterday. While I am convinced that Morgan was the next to go, I doubt that she really wants to jump onto Read's ship, burn some Davis scum, and then joyfully walk the plank at 7th or 6th. No...she definitely has friends on Davis. Probably Hali or Ace? Friends that she will try to keep safe, and that she will flip back to once we take out the evil puppetmasters Coach and Sash.
Which puts me at an interesting crossroads at this point. Stacey is the obvious choice to go at this tribal council. She's a horrible piece of vermin who took Dan's shot at this sea voyage, and I need to see her burned at the stake or whatever. After that though...is when things get interesting. Because everyone here has a pulse. Alliances are finally going to be solidified and tested.
And the way I see it now, I have two options.
1) Go with "the road less fun": Take out Morgan next time we go to tribal. Unless Morgan does some serious social work, she is most likely going to be the next target when we go to tribal. Pros - we are unified going into the swap. Cons - I don't trust half these people! I want to know who I can trust in this group, and who I really can't.
2) Go with the "road less easy": Throw a real mutiny. Save Morgan and take out Kim or Danni. They are the two people I view as the wannabe HBICs on this tribe (I say wannabe because neither of them are totally on). They both don't exactly rub everyone the right way, and I don't think they're a whole lot of people's friends. I could rally me, Nick, Morgan, Ciera, and hopefully Gabe and take one of them out. Pros - keeps Morgan around, who wants Davis out. Gets rid of someone who I don't entirely trust. Cons - Morgan won't be with Read forever. Also, will create discord in the tribe.
Which option is best for old Burt? Well, I'm still mulling it over. Tempted to just save Morgan because that will ultimately make the game more fun.
OKAY so we've finally gotten rid of all our dead weight. Everyone is here to play. That means that people are finally starting to make alliances n shit. And of course cute lil Burton is in the middle of the ones that are bubbling up.
Danni approached me to basically make an active person's alliance. That's a decent premise for an alliance, right? Just put all the active people together. It consisted of me/her/ciera/gabe. All and all, works for me, keeps me safe in this tribe. It doesn't include my boy Nick, but I think I can finnagle and keep him safe until merge.
Next up, is Nick wanting to create a guys alliance with me/him/Gabe. The problem with that, Nick and Gabe actually need to get online together to get that up and running. Because God knows I ain't sticking my pretty neck out there to make an alliance.
Point is, this is actually all perfect for my ideal, like, tribe scenario. It puts Morgan and Kim on the outs which is more or less where I want them. When I talked to Danni, she seemed to have the same read on Morgan and Kim that I did.
Kim -- She's just a slimy sea snake. Like, she doesn't show up for days at a time, and when she does show up, she desperately attempts to micromanage everyone to vote her way. She did that during the Dan vote and the Stacey vote -- just told us how all how to vote. It's like when national management comes across the country to your firm and tries to tell you how to run your shit. Like, bitch, you don't even go here. Stop trying to tell us how to run shit. I'm feeling out potentially booting her next time we go to tribal. It looks like Kim threw out Nick's name, and Nick wants to retaliate and take her out. Soo *thumbs up* that should be happening.
Morgan -- is wayyyy over selling this whole "I HATE DAVIS RARARA" thing. It's pretttyyy obvious she pissed off her old tribe and just wants to use us to get rid of her enemies. After that though? She'll probably flip, and try to get a few of us to flip with her maybe. Right now, I'm trying to just get really close with her. If she's going to try and flip, I want her to try to flip me too. That way I can turn her pretty face around and stab her in the back. <3 Because I do not trust her one bit.
So goals for this round:
1) Get Kim out 2) Get solid with Morgan 3) Work on my tan
So we won, which made last round super easy. I didn't have to worry about a tribal during my camping trip, which was awesomeee.
We have a life challenge tomorrow night. Which isn't really fun, but I really don't care if we win or lose it. I have a few concerns in this tribe, and they are still named Kim and Morgan. The two of them actually had a confrontation last night! Morgan got super paranoid because the other tribe chose Kim for the secret island thing. She thought that they were going to try to flip Morgan blah blah blah.
Morgan basically flipped out at Kim telling her all her concerns, and ALSO mentioned that some people were saying that Kim was saying Morgan shouldn't feel safe. Which is something that came out of MY mouth. Fuck you Morgan.
I'm honestly thinking I want her gone before Kim? Because she's a loose cannon and I can't rly trust her.
OK so we won again. Lmao. I'm pretty happy about that, mostly because I love avoiding tribal. So I'm HOPING we merge next, and then we have a solid 7 vs 4 for a couple rounds.
I'm very comfortable working with Read like...until the endgame? Hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ass, but right now I THINK I am keeping a pretty low profile. I always think that though, and it turns out to not be true <_< we'll see during the inevitable majority rules challenge.
But going into the merge I definitely think I'm safe for awhile. So I'm REALLY gonna try to play a good UTR game. Not make too many big moves, don't paint myself as a huge threat. And when the time is right, make the choices that will propel me into the finals. I honestly try this every fucking game, and it hasn't worked out for me yet. Maybe this time is the time.
Sorry I'm not confessing a lot, but not a whole lot is happening once the vote happens I'm sure some scrambling will go on. But right now, there's a plan in the works to pagong the three other Davis members that are left. Will that happen? Probably! Coach, Whit, Sash are not well liked, and I don't mind seeing them go.
After that though...game on! My first targets are Morgan and Kim. I think they're both sneaky and bossy, and probably don't have my best interest at heart. <3
OKAY so I basically stopped paying attention to this game and when I got back things got crazy lmao.
APPARENTLY Danni decided to be dumb and made a deal with Coach to get Morgan out. She said that me and Gabe would vote with Coach to get her out. Makes sense in theory...until Coach is a little dick and tells Morgan. Morgan, predictably, yells at Danni and declares all out war against her because she's incredibly confrontational and has the hormones of a 13 year old girl. She's been trying to start all sorts of rumors against her -- basically by saying Danni has a F2 with Shirin. And in doing that, she apparently almost flipped my boy Nick?
But not so fast -- now I guess the Read 6 is sending Shirin home. Which isn't exactly ideal for me, I'd prefer to get the IC whore Sash out at this point. But idc really? I'm trying to play UTR here, and acting like I'm checked out and out of the loop. So then they'll take me to the endgame, where I can just take charge when things get a lot simpler. Probably won't work that way, we will see though.
Apparently Morgan (god bless her, without her this game would be so boring) has been doing a lot of work. She told me earlier that Nick/Ciera/Kim were going to blindside Danni this round. I honestly almost believed it. Nick has been acting super sketchy with me, and I bet he's bought into the rumors that I'm with Danni and Gabe. Soo, I went to Nick to ask him about it. And sure enough, he believed it.
BECAUSE, he heard about that alliance I had made on Read with Danni/Gabe/Ciera. Whoops! I should've told him about that, but it's too late for that. I came clean to him about it, and said that I was never really loyal to it. That in the end, I was with him yada yada yada. I think we're back on good terms. He made me promise that Danni would go home "down the roads." I told him, yes, Danni would be the first Read to go home. Which is something I'm fine with...I'd prefer Kim go home first, but if I have to make Danni go home first, so be it.
And now, Coach is going home. I got in a little spat with him. I called him out on how he basically makes these passive aggressive jabs at people when he talks to them. I said it was rude :x and he was like "YOU THINK I'M RUDE? YOU NEVER TALK TO ME RARARARARA." I was like w.e. I showed it to Nick because, hey, that was poor jury management on my part. And I'm probably going to show it to others. I don't want people thinking I'm the golden jury boy who will auto win if he makes it to finals. I want people to think that they'll be able to beat me if I'm sitting next to them at FTC.
Even though, tbh, I think as long as some certain people go (Gabe, Danni, Nick) I think I can win. :x And sorry Nick, but I don't think we can go to the finals anymore together, brudda. I'll take ya close to the end, but it's obvious now that you're here to play, and you have the connections with the other side to beat me.
This round, Ciera told Danni a lie -- that Kim/Nick were trying to flip the vote onto her today. Clarify, Idk whether or not it's a lie. Maybe it's the truth. But...from what I've heard from Kim and Nick, it's complete bollocks. Anyway, Morgan and Sash obviously rolled with it. And, Danni got super paranoid and ONCE AGAIN involved me in a plan without telling me.
She made an alliance with Sash and Morgan, and included me and Gabe. And now we're voting Kim. :/ I don't know why I"m doing it. I should not be doing it. BUt Gabe wants to play it safe. How is this safe?? I don't think this is safe at all. But I'm doing it and I've gotta make sure I'm not fucked.
Sorry this is haphazard. I'm honestly just so drained from this round, emotionally. I'm betraying Nick hardcore, after giving me speech after speech about how I trust him 100%. And I feel so bad. He's not online right now, and I sent him a message about how this is happening and how he needs to change his vote. Will he get it? I don't know. I don't care. :/ I'm shooting myself in the foot.
So, I finally decided that I'm sick of watching this game go on around me. I'm sick of people making plans without asking me. I'm sick of having to betray people and mope about it.
CHAOS BURTON decided to mix things up a bit. So I went to the entire new alliance (me/morgan/sash/danni/gabe) an hour before the deadline and asked them if they'd switch the vote to Ciera. They all WENT WITH IT, jumped on it. I was super thrilled. Morgan was a bit concerned that I was using this as a plan to split the votes...I was thinking to myself like biitch, I could just vote you out if I wanted to :x but I didn't say that.
The reasons I targeted Ciera are.
1) She doesn't talk to me. Obviously isn't interested in working with me 2) She lies. 3) Worst, people BELIEVE her lies. No one believes Morgans or Kims or whoevers. But people buy Ciera's hook line n sinker. 4) Voting out Kim would be BAAAAD. I need to get Morgan out of this game eventually, and if Kim is out, it would be a lot harder to get Morgan out.
tl;dr: Burton made a power move. Let's see how it plays out.
Ok, welcome to another tribal council with #chaosburton. Last tribal council, I was added to a five person alliance of me/gabe/danni/morgan/sash without anyone consulting me or gabe. They wanted to take out Kimbo Slice, but I knew that would be bad for my game. Her leaving would hurt my relationship with Nick, and ultimately, Kim is not a force against me right now. She's a force against Morgan and Danni.
Now here we are at this tribal, where it's the same shit. The alliance of five wants to vote for Kim. and I'd prefer not to, mostly for all the same reasons I outlined above. I want to blindside Morgan. Why do I want to do that? 1) She’s a toxic personality. Her strategy is to spread everyone’s dirt to everyone and hope that one side will keep her. And it’s worked so far. 2) She is good at sticking around! Related to the point above. But she’s good at surviving round after round, and I’d like to take this opportunity to blindside her while I have the chance. 3) Her antics in the tribal forum, having a “party” for Ciera going, was so not cute. Especially since she was pushing for Kim to go until I pushed for Ciera to go. 4) I need to maintain a good relationship with Kim and Nick. Doing what they want this round will hopefully get that done, assuming that’s what they want to do.
I honestly think I’m set to make finale. There’s too many big threats in this game (Danni, Sash, Morgan) before I am even looked at as a target. And while we take them out, I’m going to be building my resume for finale. O:-)
