I just had another thought. For those who have seen Survivor Fiji, this is basically the episode where Edgardo goes home. I'm not sure who is playing as whom, but currently Ted is Dreamz (slash Edgardo if he gets voted out)
Let's just hope that I'm not one of the 4 Horsemen....

I feel SO happy that I've been on the right side of blindsides! It just feels really good when things go well.

So last round, while it was an awesome move, there were DEFINITELY some reactions to it. I've had to do some damage control with Candice and Sean. I told them both that I didn't know until the last minute and *totally* threw Kim under the bus. Sorry Kim! People already assume we're working together anyway, and there is already negativity about the fact that she came back so I just used that to my advantage. I needed to hide my loyalty to Sydney and Danielle anyway.
Also, Wanda and I are alligned now. That's an lolfail alliance if I've ever heard one, especially since I'm voting her out this round.
Myself, Danielle, Sydney, Kim, Miki, Shawna, Kourtney and Judd are a voting block. Those are basically the people I trust the most, so this works out for me anyway.

So APPARENTLY last night after I left, Shawna and Miki decided that they were going to vote out Sean. None. Of. That. I talked with Sydney, Kim and Sean this morning and I was able to keep the vote on Wanda. Somehow, I'm going to be part of a blindside again. However, I chose Wanda because when we were chatting, we couldn't figure out who we wanted out between Sean and Chase and we settled on Wanda. This way, we can say we weren't lying about voting her out so they really can't be mad.

NEVERMIND! Not after this vote!
APPARENTLY Kim and DD left myself and Sydney out of this vote! I was pretty blindsided that it happened, and it is quite unacceptable. I am putting a lot more trust in Sydney now and a lot less in them.

So, as I'm sure you know, Kourtney and Judd were blindsided last round. Because of that, I now need to reassess who I am close with and who I am not. 1.  For a moment there, I was considering blindsiding her. I still am, honestly. Sorry Sydney, but all bets are off in All Stars. I'm such a challenge fail that I will *have* to make big moves if I want to win. As it stands now though, we're both pretty pissed off that we were lied too, especially since we were supposed to be alligned with Kim and DD. I'm definitely sticking with her going forward, at least for a while. 2.  Candice and I have never actively targetted each other, but we've also never really been completely honest with each other. I think now that we are actively working together, we will be a good pair. 3.  I definitely trust Sean, but I can tell that our allegiances conflict a little bit. I don't think he'll vote me out, but I also think it'll take a bit of convincing sometimes to get him to do what I want. 4.  I've always been pleasant with Mikayla but it's been pretty superficial this whole time. While she is very happy at the result, I know that she feels used by Kim and DD and I don't blame her. While she's getting nowhere near the end, I definitely will go a few more rounds with her. 5.  Tonight was the first time I've talked to him and I regret it. He has the type of playing style that I really like. He has a few more options now than he did before, but I think that he and I will work well together and I wouldn't be surprised if I went to the end with him. 6.  I like Colby and we have pleasant conversations but I don't know how much I trust him. I feel like he's just kinda floating along, similar to Colby in the HvV actually. 7.  While I like her on a personal level, I have no idea where I stand with her on a game level. She's definitely a challenge threat and someone I have to keep my eye on, but I think for now, she is someone who I can potentially use. 8.  While we used to be close, I definitely don't trust her now. She is crafty, smart and manipulative and she needs to go. We even had an alliance, but after this round, I definitely do NOT trust her even remotely. 9.  Kim is BARELY ahead of Danielle, and the only reason why she's ahead is because she is more aware that people are pissed at her than Danielle is. I played it off as if I wasn't, but in reality, I'm likely going to be blindsiding her sometime in the near future. I'm sure I'll see her again in the future, but I'm so upset with her right now, that I don't even want to work with her. 10.  I'm not sure if I'm more upset with her or Kim, but I'm pissed off at both of them. While, I can definitely respect a power play, the play doesn't work if everyone resents them after. I've been nothing but loyal to her and she didn't even bother to tell me what was happening. So Kim and DD definitely made a power play and I can respect it but this is the most fired up I've been all game, and I'm using that fire against them. I know I haven't been amazing this whole time, but I'm definitely stepping on my game to do what I can to get to the end. |

So apparently, I've become a complete challenge fail. I've never been superb at challenges, but I'm definitely not doing great this season. I'm going to have to figure out a way to spin that to my advantage.

So, Danielle talked to me today. She explained her side of the story and this is what I heard:  I'm telling both Kim and Danielle that I'm with them, but in reality, I have no intention of sticking with either of them. They showed their hand to me and it's not a hand that I want to play with. |

^ Oh come on, I thought it was funny.
Anyway, Kim was like "I don't think you went for Danielle out of revenge, but are we even?" Um, I TOTALLY went for Danielle out of revenge. I was supposed to go to the finals with her and she does that to me? Absolutely not. I also fed her some lines about how I was defending her to some people b/c I know she's paranoid. Honestly, I'm not going to the end with her now but I do need her for a few rounds.
I think my best bet in the finals is against Chase. He has been so meh, just as much as me, so I think that I may be able to beat him. I guess it's a while away still, but this is so exciting to know that I am in the top 10!

I thought the "blah blah blah I'm a dirty tramp" was hilarious! Congrats on the Top 10!

I'm doing my absolute best to play both sides. I'm telling Kim what I can to make sure that she will still feed me info. I'm telling Sydney everything that Kim says so that she gets more and more mad at her. It's not a perfect system, but it's keeping the heat off me for now.
Also, I'm doing my best to solidify my relationship with Chase. It took a while, but I want to make sure that he feels included in things.
