alliances

Here, I will list the alliances that I know exist!



This is the alliance known as KISS, and I really do love this alliance. I wish I could just go to the end with these girls, seeing as we started the game together. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen. But this is one of my favorite alliances in the game. Within this alliance, I think that Kourtney is the outsider. I like her, but she's a bit unstable.



This is the plastics and it's another great group of girls. I trust them 100% and we have two idols between the five of us. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to vote most of these people out throughout this game. It's just a matter of me striking first... before they strike.



Judd and I have become very close in this game, which is a strange concept considering how I felt about him after he voted out Brandon. He has been very loyal to me in this game and I don't want him going anywhere. I don't know if he can win this game, which makes him a great person to try and bring to the end. We'll see what I can do... but I really have a high value on my alliance with Judd.



I like this alliance because I don't think Alex can win this game. Then again, people said the same thing about Rob last season... I'm sure they did. I just know that Alex isn't here fully, but he is basically a vote in my pocket. I definitely want to keep him around, and he has a great connection to Kim as well.



I definitely need to work on rekindling this. Sean and I formed a final 2 alliance, and after that I was pretty terrible with him, socially. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he thought the alliance didn't mean anything to me, considering I have been so bad socially with him. But the last time we spoke he apologized for not being around a lot. I think tonight is the night I restore this relationship in full force. So yeah, this is on the top of the repair list.



Baci still has all six members! Woo! I can definitely see us all teaming up if we're together. Could be awkward though, if this group and the plastics is like... one tribe. That could be really bad, actually. Anyway, I like this six and have no problem working with them as the game goes on.



Never turning on her... she's my f2, etc.

relationships/assumed alliances



The season 5 alliance is something I really suspect is going on. I don't trust Alexis or Rob C really at all, and I am even weary of Vecepia when she's with Alexis. I just don't like it one bit! I want some season 5ers to go home immediately.



The first three of this group are very close buddies, and I want the first two gone pronto. Kourtney has some weird thing for Alexis and doesn't want to vote her out, and I WANT HER GONE SO BADLY. She's totally after me. Last round she tried to get Shawna out because of her connection to me. Scary stuff.



This may seem like it's nothing, but they WERE the final 2 of last season, so I can't exactly shrug them off. Sean has been vocal about sticking with Rob in this game, so I need to be aware of that going forward. Especially if I continue to work with Sean.



Buddies. Need to watch out for this.



Need to watch out for this



There's some grouping here of something or another. Trying to get Colby out ASAP.



Hopefully Miki can continue to control her until she is voted out.

Okay so you all know that I love Sydney in this game. And she's really a great friend too, but every once in a while she does things that just annoy me SO much. Three instances from today:

01
We were talking about possibilities for this challenge, and the possibilities for it. Earlier today, she was throwing out thousands of suggestions for what the challenge could possible bring, and I said what if it were a triple IC? From then on, she was set that multiple tribes were going to tribal. Later, she was asking if she thought one person would decide tribes. I said if people were picking tribes, it would likely be the top 2 with immunity. She then ran to the group chat with her theory. Then the challenge was posted, and she was saying how her theory was (mostly) right. Annoying.

02
She keeps telling me how lucky I am that I was on tribe A. Like yes, I am lucky, but you don't need to remind me of it so often. I know what happened, thank you. Go compete, Sydney.

03
This one just happened mid-confessional. She asked me what the pattern has been in the challenge thus far, and I told her it has been B-A-B-A-B-A back and forth. ONE minute later, she asked in the group chat if the pattern has been B-A-B-A-B-A so far. IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE MY ANSWER FOR WHAT IT IS THEN WHY DID YOU ASK ME?

Again, these are all small things, and you guys probably think I'm crazy for being so bothered by them. But when you talk to someone every day about the same game, you start to notice the small things. So yeah... this is just a brief little output of my annoyance. I can't be telling people that I'm annoyed of Sydney... that will undoubtedly get back to her, so I'll just bitch in here.

I'm not fucking biting my tongue this round.

I haven't been to tribal council in a long time, and I could be screwing up my game right now. I don't think so though. I think I'm well connected in my tribe and I have the ability to make a move right now, even without immunity. I'm not going to sit back and leave someone in the game who has blatantly said they're coming after me. Last round, Alexis told several people to take out Shawna because of her connection to me. That is an attack on me and I'd be silly to consider it anything else. Alexis is in trouble this round, and I'm going to be relentless in ensuring her demise. It's already caused some drama, but this game is about to get fun anyway. I need to start it off right.

So basically, Shawna and Chase wanted Alexis out and I was in wholehearted agreement. I then turned on the sad voice and made an emotional appeal to Kim and Judd. I know it's a bit low, but I need to get done what I need to get done this round, and it doesn't affect my loyalty to them. I then told Vecepia what Alexis said last round about me, and Vecepia seemed genuinely concerned. She said she would feel out Alexis tomorrow. If we're truly voting out Alexis, Judd will have Ibe and that will be nice too.

Judd and Kim were both hesitant to vote Alexis. They said that Miki and Vee would be as well. Furthermore, we know Wanda won't. This is why I have to force this vote now. She needs to leave the game while the tribe is fresh. If something boring happens this round, I may never be able to seize control. Plus, if Alexis goes I feel like I'll be really well-set. I'll have to make some tough decisions coming up, but this will help. I'll have 3 plastics that won't vote me out. Judd won't vote me out. Shawna won't vote me out, and by extension nor will Chase. After this vote I feel like I can make sure that Ibe and Wanda go next in some order, and hopefully we'll be out of these shitty tribes by then.

The reason I'm so paranoid about losing when we clearly have a stronger tribe is Sydney. She is in trouble over there because Boston Rob has said he is targeting her. She's expecting us to throw challenges but I really don't feel great about that. I suppose it's hypocritical though, of me, to want Alexis out for targeting me and expect my allies to share my enthusiasm in voting her out, but then not helping protect Sydney. So we'll see. Either way, Sydney is immune this round, and things are heating up in this game. I'd rather just pass Sydney an idol and send her to TC. Maybe Boston Rob would actually leave then. *sigh*

This game is getting really hard, and it's my third tribal council. My hat is off to Carter, who's done this about 9 times. Regardless... if I have anything to say about it Alexis will be leaving the game.

This one's from danille.

After how unhelpful Miki and Vee have been this round, I no longer consider them someone I will not vote for in this game. Hope they don't come crying to me when they need my vote! Doubting Alexis will actually go at this point, but we'll see. I still may make it happen.

LOL at my finger on the screencap...

So to quickly summarize, I cut a deal with Kim (beyond our f2 deal.) This round will be Ibe, next will be Wanda, and the following will be Chase. I'm fine with it because it protects the plastics, Judd and Shawna. Keeping Alexis is a small price to pay if these people who are really close to me are going to stay in the game. I'm honestly more worried about Sydney's tribal, but after Rob C catching Kim trying to control it, I want no part in that! Sydney is immune anyway, so we'll see what happens.

But yeah, Ibe this round and Wanda next assuming we lose. Still undecided on throwing... so awkward.
