Episode 12 - Confessionals

[Tom]

Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey...why oh why did you give away your idol...AGAIN??? Insanity.

I'm actually quite pleased with how things turned out this round. Yes, a solid ally in Ashley has left the game, but I didn't have to stab her in the back to get her out, so that's points for me. Also, Jeffrey astoundingly gave away his idol, so now it's out of his hands! Assuming the idol-trend continues, Ashley will then be able to hand off a clue to someone in the game, and she'd most assuredly choose either me or Erin, since we stayed loyal to her. And even though Jordan/Tucker voted Ashley this past round, they'd be idiots to team up with THREE villains in Jeffrey, Juice, and Hooker.

Sooo, all in all...I think I'm still pretty set. The only potentially uncomfortable issue to deal with...voting Hooker when Jeffrey was really counting on me to vote Ashley. I said it to Jordan in our strategy session earlier, but I'll say it again here: I love Jeffrey, and he would have fit right in with the original Heroes tribe. But see - he WASN'T on that original Heroes tribe. And that sucks, but it's reality. Jeffrey was on the opposite tribe at the start of this game, and it doesn't make sense for me to go against all my Heroes just to save Jeffrey because he talks like Payne (<3).

And the fact that Jeffrey wouldn't trust me to vote Hooker now and Ashley next, and the fact that he frikin GAVE HIS IDOL AWAY, tells me that Jeffrey's in this to win this.

Which is why Jeffrey needs to go next.

[Tom]

I found the idol.

My very first immunity idol in any game, ever. YAY. Can't wait to never have to use it. <3

[Tom]

K...so nevermind.

[Tom]

So at first I had put my name on Erin/Stephen's team for this immunity challenge, wanting to be as far away from Hooker and Jeffrey (and his/MY idol) as possible. But then I started thinking...

Had I left my name on Erin/Stephen's team, and Juice had picked a team next, this is how it would have shaped up:

Team 1: Erin, Stephen, Tom, Jordan
Team 2: Morgan, Jeffrey, Hooker, Juice

Then, in this scenario, if either team were to vote off someone from their foursome, Morgan and Jordan would be gone. Two heroes, out, bam. Yes, I believe I'd be okay...but suddenly my heroes would be in trouble (and Jeffrey would STILL have that idol). Soooo...

I decided to be ballsy. I signed up for Jeffrey/Hooker's team and am just gonna go with it, hoping hoping hoping for the best. If it's a double-tribal situation, Juice would easily be gone from Team 1 and then we have a 2-2 split situation on Team 2. Plus, there's the possibility of SOMEBODY getting individual immunity, on one or both teams. Or, maybe an entire foursome will win immunity? No frikin clue, but this is a ballsy move and I hope there's a big return here.

Cuz I. Wanna. WINNNN.

[Tom]

So in this challenge, the Heroes decided (well, I kinda decided for them) to share all our answers so we knew where our 50 bombs would be located. That's a huge edge compared to the villains who will only know where 30 bombs are located (assuming they were smart enough to share info). Soo...I feel like our chances are good. At least one of us should win immunity, if not two. Man, I would love to be one of those two. I got a text from Stephen today saying Juice might be gunning for me, Erin, and Morgan next in an effort to get 3 heroes and 3 villains to the final 6 (of which I wouldn't be included...*tear*).

GET THESE VILLAINS OUT OF HERE.

Srsly. Hoping for the best with this challenge...would really love guaranteed safety with Jeffrey's bloody idol in constant circulation...

[Tom]

OK.

So basically phase one of the Hero Domination Master Plan worked for this round: the Heroes shared our bomb coordinates and as a result, two of our own won immunity. So immunity is out of the hands of Hooker, Juice, and Jeffrey.

Good.

As for the second phase...meh. That's where it gets dicey.

I love that word. Dicey. I think I've used it a lot in my confessionals. Dicey. Dicey. Dicey. Such a forceful word. <3

But anyway, yeah, this vote is dicey. The consensus was kinda to let on that the heroes would be sending votes Hooker's way, and thus it'd be up to Jeffrey to save Hooker's game once again with that idol. Whether or not Jeffrey would actually do that again...who knows.

But here's where said diceyness enters the equation. Instead of voting Hooker, like the villains would think, we'd instead vote for either Jeffrey or Juice. And then bam, we'd be down to just two bothersome villains.

(I LOVE YOU JEFFREY)

It's crazy though, because apparently Juice is CONVINCED that Jordan and Stephen are with the villains (along with Tucker, I presume). So maybe, then, they think they've got the votes to take out Erin (or me...). Maybe Jeffrey really won't play that idol for anyone, and the best move would be to take HIM out instead of Juice.

Ultimately, here's how I feel: Jeffrey will either hand the bloody thing off to Hooker again, or become uber-paranoid and just play it on himself, thinking he can find another one either way anyway. I just don't see a scenario where he gives it to Juice.

So...I believe we'll be voting Juice this round. But who really knows at this point.

This is nutso.

[Tom]

MAY THIS ROUND BE OVER ALREADY.

Holy mess...Juice or Jeffrey...

$%#*@

[Tom]

So, the plan is to catch the villains totally off-guard and vote for Juice (a la voting Edgardo in Survivor: Fiji). I've told Jeffrey and Juice I'll be voting Hooker, and that all the other heroes will be too, so if Jeffrey were to play the idol for ANYONE, it should be Hooker. But, this is Jeffrey, Idol Sensei, and maybe he'd just play it for himself for kicks and bubbles, knowing he could easily find another one next round.

Basically, then, the only logical scenario here is that Juice would NEVER get the idol this round. There's no reason for the villains to suspect we'd be voting Juice...and plus, apparently they're really sold on a hero-villain alliance between Jeffrey-Hooker-Juice-Stephen-Jordan-Tucker.

But that makes no sense: why would people think Stephen would vote out his BFF Erin? Like...seriously? Are they that stupid to think Stephen would be with them on that?

So yes, I'm sweating buckets right now, hoping beyond all hope this plan works and Juice leaves us next.

As for what would then happen after that with a pissed off Jeffrey...

lawlz

[Juice]

GOD! Great moves here Tom. But like, why the fuck would Tucker and Jordan be idiots for teaming up with us? They had options with BOTH sides so it wouldnt be completely stupid no matter what they did. Its kind of annoying how black and white this game seemed to be for you, up until this point and further on. Oh well, you still played well as Im enjoying your journal


lol I typed that perfectyl! yay!!

1 lawlz
Total - 24

[Bridget]
