Episode 9 - He is a Real Friend

[jordan]

Well wow.

What an insane tribal that was. I ended up playing the idol just to be safe. I ended up not needing it. I think the Heroes will be okay with my decision though.

I am doubting the decision not to tell Tucker, though. He seemed just a bit perturbed by the whole thing, and I had to lie through my teeth and tell him that I got the idol RIGHT BEFORE tribal council. Which is kind of true I guess, but not really. I wish I had told him. Tucker if you're reading this now, sorry I didn't tell you mate. All the rumors I had heard about him and RB seemed alarmingly true and I guess he proved he wasn't with RB.

Bud took the vote out surprisingly well. I guess he just knew his days were numbered.

Here's what's next if we lose. I hope we don't lose. Ideally me/Tucker/Stephen/Juice/Hooker all vote for RB and the idol isn't played. But will people be pissed off I got the idol and didn't tell them? Tucker/Hooker/Juice/RB could vote me out in a second next time if they are actually pissed. Hopefully they continue to stick to their word...

What a nutty challenge. I'm on the road right now so I had a tough time coming up with a good list of words.

Thankfully, Tucker helped me out and gave me some words to post.

He is a real friend.

I should have told him about the idol.

Back into it now. Juice is exiled which is okay, RB is going after either Tucker or myself next time, and everything else seems pretty solid.

I do worry a little bit about what's going to happen on the Heroes tribe. What if Megan found the idol? What if they had to vote out one of the Heroes Alliance? Also nervous to see what's the message in that bottle. It's supposed to bring them "company" .. that could mean anything. maybe one of us is going to be forced to go over there. Very interesting night tonight, but I'm not going to be finding out about any of it until it's over.

Juice is on exile, but before he left he and Hooker still seemed very on board with the plan. Is it bad that I'm not tremendously worried about what happens on the other side tonight? Erik and Tom are both good allies to have, but I'm not sure I can trust either of them 100%. I also think Erik was a little peeved that I played the idol that he told Jeffrey to give to me (maybe, I might be a little paranoid here).

I'm starting to think that I'm being viewed as a little too much of a threat. I've been good at challenges recently (not this recent one but .. small details), Jeffrey giving me the idol showed that I have a lot of connections, I dunno. This might be a little bit of an "everyone out to get me" thing, but might as well be a little vigilant. I'm going to tone it down just a little bit before we merge. Are we merging now? What's going on. I'll definitely be fighting to win the challenges, just maybe not as hard as before. I don't feel like my life in on the line right now and they proved yesterday that they can win without me. This was a good few days.

[jordan]

Looks like Megan was voted out. That's good. But what about the bottle?

I was thinking that Megan is probably going to give an idol clue to RB. When/if we go to TC again it's probably going to be a good idea to throw a vote in Hooker's direction, just in case RB uses the idol. He might be a little mad about it, but there's nothing he can really do about it
