Episode 9 - Confessionals

[Tom]

Wow, so Bud actually left over Jordan. I was pessimistic BEFORE learning of Jordan's self-vote, so I was REALLY pessimistic after. Kinda shocked actually that Juice and Hooker turned on Bud. You would think they'd wanna keep the Hero/Villain balance somewhat more even...

So as it stands now, we have 8 heroes and 5 villains. Wow.

(HERO DOMINATION.)

I hate to sound overconfident, but I feel really good right now! Have honestly felt like I've been in a pretty sweet spot this entire game. Early on I established my fearsome foursome (blech...nothing compares to TRIFORCE) with Morgan, Erin, and Stephen, and with Morgan back at full throttle, we've never been stronger. And I don't think people are aware of our strong bonds! Amazing.

The key to the endgame is gonna be keeping track of Erik/Jeffrey and Tucker/Juice. If those pairs get together and decide to make a big move, we could be done. I think keeping Ashley/Jordan on my/our good side could be key. Never know when you'll need reinforcements...

Life is good for Tom here in All Stars 2. So much better than how it was in All Stars 1! Seriously.

I'm winning this.

[Tom]

I find it hilarious that whenever Erik sits out a challenge, the teamwork on our tribe becomes totally nonexistent. This challenge's deadline is in several hours and I've yet to talk with a soul about it. And there's only a mysterious/freaky/horrible bottle twist at stake here. That's all. I got a bottle when I was voted out in All Stars and it helped me save Richard, but eh, who knows what this one could be about.

I'd really rather not lose and not have to worry about. But, uh...we're totally losing this. Go team.

[Tom]

*BOTTLE FLASHBACK*

Ugh, I hate mysterious twisty bottles. I was involved in one in All Stars as I got voted out and would've preferred not to be involved in another. But alas, here I am, about to be involved in another. No idea what's gonna happen. I assume we'll all vote Megan since she's the lone villain on this tribe since apparently Jeffrey's converted to Heroism now. But what of the bottle? What harm will be dealt by it? Does make me sorta nervous...

On top of losing, there's like NOBODY around. Erik's off who-knows-where, Ashley only surfaces for challenges, and Morgan can't even vote because of her penalty. So there is SO much up in the air right now. Ugh.

I just wanna make it to the merge already!

[Tom]

So here's my dilemma, if a second vote comes into play this round. Assuming Megan would go, I honestly feel like I need to take out Jeffrey over Ashley. Ashley will do anything I tell her to. Honestly. She's not really a power player who will go out on her own and change the game.

Unlike Jeffrey.

I frikin LOVE Jeffrey. He's the second coming of Payne and he's genuinely one of my favorite people in this game. But he's a smart dude. I have no doubt he would flip on me if he believed it would benefit him.

And plus, his relationship with Erik concerns me.

So what to do? Throw in the fact that Megan may have gotten the HII clue from Bud, and that makes this vote ridiculous. What. The. Heck.

[Tom]

So basically, I would've loved to vote Jeffrey if Erik had been on board with the idea, but he PM'd me and Erin saying how we should split the votes between Megan and Ashley. And of course, we must do whatever Erik says.

Haha, I love Erik, but it's like everything centers around him with this tribe. The challenges, the strategy, everything. Whatev. It is what it is.

So the plan then is to split our votes (mine/Erin's/Erik's/Jeffrey's) between Megan and Ashley and, well, hope for the best. Megan may or may not play an idol. The bottle may or may not proclaim a second vote. Who really knows what's going on at this point? I just want it to be midnight already so we can move on from this. I'm all anxious over it!

BOTTLE H8 BOTTLE H8 BOTTLE H8

[Tom]

Holy mess. I'm lying through my teeth to Megan and Ashley. I want them both to think I'm on their side in this vote so that when the (split) votes come through neither of them are mad specifically at me. Who knows what that blasted bottle contains, but I certainly don't want it negatively impacting me. So if that means being a little deceitful to throw the onus off my back, then heck yaw that's what I'll do.

Come on tribal council, come already.

[Juice]

no lawlz and omg heaven FORBID that some of us weren't thinking about stupid hero/villain lines. Gosh! I totally should've kept Bud in the game so he could fuck me over later.

Total -- 22 lawlz. fuck it. Im taking 4 drinks for the lack of lawlzing that I've come to love
