Episode 17

[Shawna Mitchell]

Well, everything good must end...maybe. This round has been interesting. With the IC I was being pressured by DD to help give Vee answers so Sydney didn't win. Little does she know, Vee would not have voted Sydney off. I really had reservations about that myself. I figured we could just vote Candice off... and got everyone to agree.

But then, this conversation with Chase happened. I'll just preface by saying I spilled everything about my F4 with KISS because I thought he probably knew by now anyway, so I thought it would be better if I came clean to him. Now, I'm not sure if Candice is going or if DD's getting blindsided. More on that tomorrow, I guess.

Shawna Mitchell
okay
would you be okay voting for candice?

Chase Rice
Yea Idc that's fine

Shawna Mitchell
okay
everyone else has said that's okay
people were talking about the possibility of sean still having the hii
which i doubt

Chase Rice
Yea I think she's good in comps

Shawna Mitchell
but idk he could i guess

Chase Rice
I have a question

Shawna Mitchell
ok

Chase Rice
Would you wanna do final 3 if me you and Colby?

Shawna Mitchell
You promise you aren't showing anyone this lol?

Chase Rice
I promise
The thing is, the other side is pushing me and vee really hard to flip and vote off DD to iChat
Tonight*

Shawna Mitchell
wow

Chase Rice
We would have 6

Chase Rice
We don't wanna do it
We wanna stick with 7

Shawna Mitchell
but...?

Chase Rice
But I'm just thinking, what happens at 7?

Shawna Mitchell
okay well

Chase Rice
I'm 100% sure I wanna go to the end with you

Shawna Mitchell
first of all

Chase Rice
And Colby

Shawna Mitchell
I would love that f3
honestly
but i do not want to give sydney a leg up in this game
i knew she was going to be pushing something

Chase Rice
I won't take vee but she has agreed to a F4 with us

Shawna Mitchell
was alex in that then?

Chase Rice
Yes he is

Shawna Mitchell
okay

Shawna Mitchell
well, I would go with you, but I just dont like this flipping you know?
like are you really wanting to vote with them?

Chase Rice
Oh no not at all
I'm just letting you know a plan is in the works

Shawna Mitchell
i dont have any intention of letting kim/miki/dd vote us out
that is my worry...

Chase Rice
That just made me know I need to clarify I wanna go to the end with you

Shawna Mitchell
but i have a couple of things to tell you because I want to be upfront with you

Chase Rice
Even when they offered me a deal I was like 'wow that means I'd have to actually vote off shawna' and I just can't do that

Shawna Mitchell
oh

Shawna Mitchell
well i knew sydney wouldnt just go down without a fight
and she told me some stuff the other night and said she wants me to work with her
until she won immunity lol
it's been quiet since then

Chase Rice
Aaaaaah
Well there we go

Shawna Mitchell
okay so in the very beginning of the game
before i think you were even around
i was offered a f4 with dd, sydney and kourtney
and i said yes

Chase Rice
On original baci?

Shawna Mitchell
yes
but like when we had to vote it was either going to be neleh or sean and your name never came up

Chase Rice
I knew something was up I just didn't feel safe there

Shawna Mitchell
so then, kourtney and i go to baci 2

Chase Rice
Oh wow

Shawna Mitchell
and we had to try to survive there

Chase Rice
Right

Shawna Mitchell
but basically, the round i voted kim off with you, i had heard all the pre-game rumors
and i figured i was just being played
by them
dd/syd
but when i saw your chat w/ vee, i wondered if you had been targeting me too
so i thnk that was where part of our disconnect maybe came from...
anyway
i know a lot of other stuff was going on

Chase Rice
Right right

Shawna Mitchell
and a couple rounds ago
after that alexis vote
which was basically after i was frustrated because sean wouldnt commit

Chase Rice
Yea

Shawna Mitchell
I just thought
i dont like this group - im not playing the rest of the game with people i dont even know/like
like judd
alex, who i barely talk to
and so when the opportunity came up and we had the chance to change things last round i was happy, but i feel really bad i voted kourtney
like i feel horrible...but we weren't close at all
it was just something that was formed at the beginning, but we barely ever talked

Chase Rice
Yea kourt was so out of it seemingly

Shawna Mitchell
and then sydney went to sean because we talked about getting sean out
so that was part of it too
i just want to work with people i trust

Shawna Mitchell
and like lol
anyway thats about it
i just wanted to let you know

Chase Rice
Same here. I don't wanna work with Candice and Sean
Cool I'm glad you did

Shawna Mitchell
i do trust dd
however i know she is super close with kim
and kim is super close with miki
so imo

Chase Rice
I mean something felt different with us a while. Which I just thought was cause I was so busy with work and starz to invest here

Shawna Mitchell
since miki would agree to vote candice this round
I think that's a good move

Chase Rice
I do too

Shawna Mitchell
because we'd still be in the majority

Chase Rice
I agree

Shawna Mitchell
and it gets rid of miki's goat
(candice)
plus candice is/was close to colby

Chase Rice
Yea then we can pick off Syd and Sean

Shawna Mitchell
and he agreed too
yeah

Chase Rice
I've been talking a lot to Alex
I need to make sure he sides with us at final 8

Shawna Mitchell
but i still want the majority over who would be left
i know you're close to vee though

Chase Rice
Yea but she's gotta go at some point
I might vote her before Kim or miki
Like if we can pull in Alex. He'd be better for a 4th
But if rather wait to get him

Shawna Mitchell
and yeah, to comment on what you just said above
i felt things were different too, like i felt you didnt trust me the last few rounds
and im not saying you might not have had reason
but i always tried to make sure you were safe

Chase Rice
Mine was that you always knew too much info to not be involved. So that's what I couldn't figure out

Shawna Mitchell
like last round i voted off kourtney to make sure you didnt have a majority of votes
if we did judd/sean, i felt sean might have played the hii
otherwise i wanted to do that
i know

Chase Rice
Same. They asked me to vote you and Colby

Shawna Mitchell
lol
i was asked to vote vee/colby
and i just let her think that
syd
the round before, syd asked me to vote you
and i said i couldnt
and then it got changed to wanda
but i suggested sean
which basically got spread around and got me targeted by judd/sean/candice lol
anyway
alex

Shawna Mitchell
would be easier for sure
ive already pissed off people, im not afraid to make moves
oh also
are you still here?
dont be copying/pasting lol

Chase Rice
Yes
I'm not! Lol

Shawna Mitchell
so dont repeat this obviously
but the other night after tc
sydney told me there were other alliances
which is really no surprised
i'd suspected, you've suspected/assumed
but that syd/dd/miki/kim had a f4
and there was a f5 with syd/dd/miki/kim/vee
shocker

Chase Rice
Shocker!!

Shawna Mitchell
i know lol
i just thought i could work from within this time instead of from the outside but something had to give
so what does vee think?

Chase Rice
Well I knew she wouldn't be down for voting Syd so I'm glad she won

Shawna Mitchell
oh okay

Chase Rice
Cause next vote we don't need her vote

Shawna Mitchell
i figured she was close to her

Shawna Mitchell
so what did she think about voting with the four?
or does she think?
you said you both didnt want to?

Chase Rice
Yes neither of us really want to but they need us both
Without my vote they can't do anything anyway

Shawna Mitchell
I feel like sydney can't get to the end
and if she gets a foothold she will

Chase Rice
I agree
Sea gotta leave next round

Shawna Mitchell
mhm
if she isn't immune

Chase Rice
Right
If she is, then Sean

Shawna Mitchell
is there a struggle here? like do you think she might want to vote with syd?
i was just talking to her about voting candice

Chase Rice
Not really
I think she's down for the Candice vote
But I'm just glad it's not Syd cause she wouldn't do that I don't think

Shawna Mitchell
yeah people would be pushing it

Chase Rice
Dd and Kim already were

Shawna Mitchell
kim wants to tell alex the vote, which i didnt trust
sounds like for good reason
she thinks she has alex...maybe she does but not with this 7

Chase Rice
Ok so if its 7 of us. I know dd, Kim and miki need a 4th

Shawna Mitchell
?
you, me, vee, colby, kim, miki, dd

Chase Rice
Like at 7

Shawna Mitchell
oh

Chase Rice
But I know they will plan ahead

Shawna Mitchell
well either me, vee or colby probably
although i know dd has always wanted to work with you
so that's another reason i always trusted her
sydney always wanted you out
kim is close to colby

Shawna Mitchell
but if you and colby already talked
i talked to him
and he suggested bringing kim in
lol

Chase Rice
He did?

Shawna Mitchell
yeah
well i had talked to you

Chase Rice
Bringing her into a 4?

Shawna Mitchell
and you remember i said dd to you

Chase Rice
Right

Shawna Mitchell
and he suggested kim
and im like well
thats basically the 7 who just voted minus miki lol
so idk
the thing with this game

Chase Rice
Haha well we'll have to handle it delicately

Shawna Mitchell
is everyone has a bff they want to bring in

Shawna Mitchell
but you're good with voting candice?

Chase Rice
Luckily we have time

Shawna Mitchell
yeah

Chase Rice
Yes

Shawna Mitchell
and vee is?

Chase Rice
We have 3 rounds as a buffer
As far as I know
But regardless we have 6

Shawna Mitchell
what are you saying to her about all this?

Chase Rice
Nothing yet

Shawna Mitchell
like what would be her motivation to go with them vs us?
if you, me, vee, colby had a deal?

Chase Rice
The fear of You and Colby really going with the other 3
Or one of y'all
She thinks you're right with dd and Colby is with Kim

Shawna Mitchell
well i do trust dd, im not gonna lie

Shawna Mitchell
but i know she is super tight with kim/miki
im not an idiot

Chase Rice
Right

Shawna Mitchell
im not going with those people over you

Chase Rice
I don't think you'd go with them

Shawna Mitchell
there is definitely a pre-game
i did try to be a pollyana and believe there wasnt for a while lol
but i would be out if i went that direction

Chase Rice
I just need to keep all parties separate
I'm not even gonna go in depth with Colby just in case

Shawna Mitchell
about what?

Chase Rice
This is just something you and I need to slowly work on and figure out

Chase Rice
About what's happening at F7

Shawna Mitchell
yeah keep it surface with him, but i feel like if we just vote with the 7 now, we can end up with him and he wont really have a choice to keep kim (which i know he would want probably)

Chase Rice
I agree
I can't believe how people have totally forgotten the fact that we were aligned in S3

Shawna Mitchell
well all game long i've been explaining how just because we were in s3 and we're friends, doesnt mean anything ...
because it has definitely come up a lot
and i think we talked about this a few nights ago
i dont assume anything
and we never made a deal, so i wasnt sure what you wanted...but now you know the rest

Shawna Mitchell
im a loyal person, if i didnt feel there was other stuff going on, i would have stuck with that, but this game is a collage of pre-games

Chase Rice
It really is. Which we knew coming in
This has been a headache
Haha

[Shawna Mitchell]

It seems quiet today.

Kim Powers
yeah haha
so do you think anyone is going to flip and vote out DD?
I hope not

Shawna Mitchell
can i ask you a question

Kim Powers
yes

Shawna Mitchell
have you told alex about what we were planning to do?
i know you're close to him
but do you think he wouldnt be working with them?

Kim Powers
I PMed him a little bit ago and said we were voting Candice….since there are no more idols I didn't think it mattered much

Kim Powers
is that bad?

Shawna Mitchell
i thought we werent sure about idols?
did he tell you what he was doing?

Kim Powers
he said they wanted DD out but he wanted to be in majority and didn't want DD out

Shawna Mitchell
okay
so he is voting candice?
and just telling them what they want to hear?

Kim Powers
if he really wants to be in majority then he should be voting candice
he hasn't been on the board since I sent him the PM
cause he told me
if we would have told him last round, he would've just did it

Shawna Mitchell
right but who were they getting to vote dd?

Kim Powers
they were trying to get Vee and Chase I think

Shawna Mitchell
i like alex, i just wonder which side he's on
oh okay

Kim Powers
they probably assume they have Alex

Shawna Mitchell
that's interesting then

Kim Powers
I talked to him last night briefly
but didn't say who we were voting

Shawna Mitchell
did you tell dd about them trying to get vee/chase?
or vee/chase lol

Kim Powers
DD knew already as well

Shawna Mitchell
ok

Kim Powers
vee openly told me last night

Shawna Mitchell
so you really trust Alex to vote with us then?
oh ok

Kim Powers
that they were trying to get her to flip

Kim Powers
chase told me as well
I think he will. if not then we'll know where he stands I guess
I know he likes me, you and DD a lot

Shawna Mitchell
alright so then chase/vee won't vote with them if they told you

Kim Powers
I hope so
have they tried to get you to flip/

Shawna Mitchell
nope
not one word from any of them

Kim Powers
same

Kim Powers
they probably know we wouldn't vote out Danielle

Shawna Mitchell
right
okay well i guess everyone knew this lol

Kim Powers
I just hope this is an easy vote and Candice leaves

Shawna Mitchell
me too



Shawna Mitchell
Hey

DDanielle
hey

Shawna Mitchell
how are you?

DDanielle
not too bad, you?

Shawna Mitchell
im good
i was just talking to kim about the plan to get vee/chase to vote with them

DDanielle
you mean us?

Shawna Mitchell
i mean "their" plan

DDanielle
what's their plan

Shawna Mitchell
syd and candice, sean, alex get v/chase to vote you out w/ them
but vee/chase told kim and alex did too

Shawna Mitchell
i thought you heard this

DDanielle
oh okay
yeah i basically did

Shawna Mitchell
lol

DDanielle
i think we have 8
voting for candice

Shawna Mitchell
that's what im hearing now
i think chase thought alex was voting with them and i was a little worried about vee wanting to also
but kim said alex told her too so that's good

DDanielle
yeah i'm feeling decent

So, why didn't either of them tell me this? And why does DD's initial response seem like she doesn't know what I'm talking about?

And, if Syd knows Chase isn't voting with them, why hasn't she approached someone else, like me? She was trying her best to convince me I was being used after the last TC.

ShawnaMitchell
so i didnt say anything about what you said last night except i asked kim if she can trust alex and i guess alex told her the plan, and then she said you/vee did too, and i guess everyone else knows lol. i wasnt sure if i was supposed to say anything.

Chase Rice
Told her the dd plan?

Shawna Mitchell
mhm

Chase Rice
Ah ok
That means Alex is a problem

Shawna Mitchell
well according to kim, he's voting candice with us

Shawna Mitchell
but obviously he is telling them he's voting dd

Chase Rice
Right, that's a problem

Shawna Mitchell
kim said he said he doesnt want to
he never told you that he was going to tell kim i take it lol, like he told you he was solid with the other side?

Chase Rice
Yes he did

Shawna Mitchell
ok
he's in kim's back pocket

Chase Rice
Like he told me he was solid on the other side.

Shawna Mitchell
which is good for this vote...

Chase Rice
He's gotta go at 9
Or next

Shawna Mitchell
so does the other side thing you're voting dd or not?

Chase Rice
They know I'm not
I told them I wasn't

Shawna Mitchell
oh okay
so i wonder what their plan is

Chase Rice
The other side?

Shawna Mitchell
no one has talked to me
yeah

Chase Rice
I don't think they have one right now
They think Sean is leaving

Shawna Mitchell
oh they do?

Chase Rice
Syd said she assumed Sean is leaving

Idk,it seems like if Chase was thinking of voting with them, knowing/thinking Alex isn't would sway him back. It also keeps him from trusting Alex too much, which is sounded like he did last night.

[Shawna Mitchell]

Well, I'm super sad to lose DD. It's not surprising that Miki/Vee voted that way but I obviously wonder which way they'll go now.

Kim seems to think they'll still vote with "us" and this was just because DD made them nervous.

Syd said it was because she heard how they wanted her out if she didn't win immunity, which was true.

I don't think Vee will vote Syd and I really don't want my name out there as a Syd vote, because I know how she is a vengeful bitch. Not that I can blame her, knowing people want her gone. I'm not exactly on her "good list" but I really did secretly hope she won IC because I didn't want to vote for her. Would I have? Probably.

That was when I trusted Vee to vote with us, though. The person I want out right now is definitely Vee above anyone, but it's too soon for that. She may or may not vote with us next time. I tend to think she won't. But, if not we wouldn't have the numbers to vote her.

I feel like my best move is to make sure no one can quote me as wanting Syd out and hope people will agree to vote Sean or Candice. We really need numbers.

At this point I trust Colby, Chase and Kim the most but I feel like anything could happen next round. Vee seems to have a lot of power right now.
