You know what? After Feroca won the first Immunity Challenge of the season along with Baci and Tres En Dawg, I felt good about my position in the game. I know I was screwed because I had to win immunity every single week to make sure that I wasn't voted out before a swap, but my hopes were up because we found a way to win immunity even though Phillip was completely MIA due to a bad weed or something stupid and crazy like that.
But, of course, all good things must come to an end... And it was a very quick one, since the very next challenge ended up not being tribal, but individual instead. That's right! Five freaking people were going home, one from each tribe, which seemed crazy and devastating to me, because my plans of trying to build something with Phillip to make a tie were vanished since he proved to be a useless piece of trash who didn't even bother to answer my PMs.
So, while at least we had someone to throw under the bus and vote out before the Wanda, Alexis and Vecepia picked me and Sandra off one by one, we both felt like our asses were on the line in case we lost the next Immunity Challenge. We were both hoping and praying for a swap at the next round, but you can't assume anything in this game, because you both proved to us that anything can happen at Sausage Island, like a 35-person Tribal Council or even 5 different people leaving the game at the same day.
The Individual Immunity Challenge was really hard for me, I have to say. I like to think that I'm good at puzzles, but I guess that I was so stressed about the other two tasks that I barely try it out more than a couple of times, which sucked because I think I could have gotten a way better time if I focused more on my strongest points instead of watching videos about how to solve slide puzzles or trying to make more than 16,000 points at the word search. At least I made some points, right?
I don't know if a lot of people in my tribe really tried to win immunity, but I believe they didn't, because it was pretty obvious right from the get go that Phillip was the target of the Tribal Council, just because he definitely wasn't going to help the Feroca tribe, or any other tribe, in the future anyway. Even with that in mind, I expected Sandra to at least give the challenge a try since Vecepia, Wanda and Alexis could very easily get alligned with Philip to target one of us. I know it's a pretty dumb, crazy and unnecessary move, but it could have happen, so why didn't she even try to do something? I was kind of a little bit pissed at her for that.
Anyway, I didn't even stand a chance against Vecepia, who made way more points that I did overall and ended up winning immunity, being the only person safe from being voted out at Tribal Council we were about to visit. I didn't expect anything crazy to happen at our vote, but I really wanted to win immunity because I never, ever, feel 100% safe when I go there, but I had to put my paranoid side in the corner and just believe that everything was going to be fine for now.

So, just to make sure everyone was thinking about the obvious option like I was, I tried to talk with single person in my tribe, excpet for Phillip, of course, because he would probably only answer my question after the Final Tribal Council votes were revealed... Well, maybe after, I guess, since he might smoke another bad weed that day too. Apparently, everyone was agreeing about the decision, so I didn't have anything to worry about, except for some PM that Phillip was sending to every single damn person in the Feroca tribe. Even I got the same PM as everyone at some point, which crazy and desperate from him because he never contacted anyone in the game before that time. Sandra and I had to send him a bunch of PMs before he even answered one of them. So, yeah, it was definitely a case of too little, too late. I have to say that I didn't even bother to answer him back because I knew he was going to be voted out anyway, so I decided not to waste my precious time talking to someone who probably was gonna self-vote anyway even if I made up a plan to save him.

With that in mind, I decided to talk with Sandra to make our final decision because I like to think of her as my partner in crime. We share everything from our conversations to our plans, so her voice is the thing I respect and trust the most out of anyone left in Feroca tribe. From what it looked like, it was clear the vote was going to be 6-1 for Phillip. Maybe even 7-0 because Phillip was probably going to forget to vote and smoke another pipe or something I don't really care about. But, there was one thing that was concerning both Sandra and I: the next round was going to be really important for both of us. We needed to either win the next Immunity Challenge or hope that the merge was coming next, at the Final 27, because everyone could be divided into 3 tribes of 9 people. Thank god at least one of those happened, because one of us would probably be going home next if that wasn't the case.
