It's a public holiday today, which means my daily schedule of wake up, eat, stranded, eat, movie/confessional, eat, do something with friends (if I have any), sleep has been ruined - hence no n8 r8s. Say what you want about the Philippines, but I love their constant public holidays.
Anyway so we lost the challenge and today has been pretty hectic, but here's a recap of my conversations with everybody else from most interesting to least interesting, in reverse order (removing all strategy references until later on)
Conversation Recaps1. Stacy - "how was the concert?" "good - how was the challenge" "fine - how's life?" "okay - how's yours" "miserable"
*no response" 2. Papa Smurf - "oh i'm just going to brainstorm with my friends to determine the best move huck huck hyuck" "i wont vote for you if I won't vote for you" "k" "kk" "que?"
*no response" 3. JP - "Cecilia wants to stage a fight between us so we can distract the girls" "wait what"
*no response" 4. Cecilia - I made Survivor references and she talked game a lot. She seems very annoyed that Rocky won the challenge because he won't side with us with a tie and she's really overthinking this game. Like she's making plans to blindside everybody with like three or four different backup plans and throw like the fourth challenge but only if we win the third challenge but only if Candice or Penner is the leader of Hestur and they win and idk what's going on.
5. Jessica - So Jessica and I have exchanged quite a few messages through the day, and at about 6 hours ago she messaged me something like "gay people don't exist pshh" sarcastically. So of course, I play along with the joke, repeating something my grandfather said about my cousin when she came out. She then assumes that I'm gay and then says like we can be allies and she feels so close to me because of that and then mentally I'm thinking
but I reply acting like
- and she seems really nice and I'm playing along with it to avoid awkwardness and ugh. This seems like a plot to a sitcom that would have been "edgy" in the early 2000s but now just seems dated. I'm not sure if I'm homophobic for pointing it out or am I insecure about my sexuality for noticing or feeling bad about lying about it but I have no idea about anything ugggggghghhhh. I guess this is a closed ID org and she has no idea about me IRL which does help a bit - I'm not an AA 26 year old, which is how I'm justifying it for now.
N8s completely unrelated tangents of the daya) when I mentioned "an edge plot in the early 2000s" I initially directly mentioned two and a half men and from there I made something like "how did that make it to ten seasons in America" and then I realized that Neighbors has been on since the 80s in Australia, Eat Bulaga is probably older than some of the hosts of the show and Finland still has military conscription. The last one isn't a television show, but I don't know any Finnish tv shows and it's still bullshit. Also fun fact: one of my brothers friends has a facebook fan group with 1200 members based off a two-episode stint on Eat Bulaga: My Foreignoy. That is not a make believe title. I may be a tad bitter because my facebook fan page only has 180 members.
b) Apparently the kids who play Myrcella and Tommen in Game of Thrones are dating. I've stalked many a cast member of game of thrones before, but isn't BuzzFeed publishing articles like "we ship these two so hard" kind of weird when they're 15 years old? Also - idk what's weirder the fact that Game of Thrones recast an 18 year old actress with a 15 year old actress because they found the fifteen year old better looking, the fact that that was somebody's job, or the fact that I agree with them.
c) Also guys is the twitter bio "My friends call me Jhad (it's a portmanteau of my first/middle/last name) 'cause I'm the bomb" offensive? I don't know that many americans (and the ones who I do know are very "fuck america" and "i hate the people there" even though their parents are like ambassadors and shit)
Alliances n' ShitSo far, there are really three main alliances in the game - I will dub them "the former svinoys" "the original mykines" and "the actives"
The Former Svinoys is made up of JP, Cecilia and Myself, but Cecilia thinks that she might be able to flip Papa Smurf
The Original Mykines is made up of Jessica, Papa Smurf and Stacy
The Actives is made up of Jessica, Myself, Stacy and Cecilia
Cecilia really wants to get Jessica out, because in the larger scheme of things Cecilia is pretty high up in the original Svinoy majority alliance (which she told me had Candice/Penner/Herself/Adam/Somebody else but fuck them they aren't relevant to the story*) and Jessica is pretty high up in the original Mykines majority alliance***
*I can't remember the original tribe delegations, but it was everybody except Rebeccah, Flicka, Myself, Ozzy and JP
***No idea who's in this, I can assume but assuming makes an ass out of u and me, but mostly me because this is my confessional. Currently Cecilia is assuming that Jessica and Rocky are in it - which
Plan The PrestigeCecilia's Master Plan is something I like to call "plan prestige" because it has three parts in the attempt to create multiple different plans because Cecilia is incapable of trusting anybody and she's trying to get somebody to throw their vote allowing for us to vote out Jessica without forcing a tie.
The Pledge: Cecilia is very open about getting everybody else to vote JP, like 5-1 - that way the Mykines and the Actives don't suspect a thing. I think at some point me and JP are supposed to fight, but I know absolutely nothing about that and JP being active at all would be a massive giveaway.
The Turn: JP plays his immunity necklace (i'm assuming that means he won the Guatemala idol at the first TC - or at the very least he told Cecilia this). We tell Papa Smurf that the vote is now Stacy (Cecilia thinks that Papa Smurf wants to flip - and he doesn't really have a relationship with Stacy) and we tell the Actives that the vote is now Papa Smurf.
The Prestige: We all vote Jessica, so if either Papa Smurf believes us or the Actives believe us then we're in the clear and Rocky doesn't need to break the tie. If neither work, Rocky breaks the tie and either me or CiCi goes home. -_-. I'm hoping me and Jessica's homo buddies or whatever she called it ends up working in my favor.
My thoughtsI don't want to stick my neck out for the honor of JP. If he doesn't play his necklace or he doesn't have it I'm voting for him. I don't want to be screwed and get out 16th for somebody I exchanged all of six words with. If he plays immunity, I'll probably go through with the plan. I'm not sure if there is a revote in this stage (i know the purple rock is replaced with the purple rocky), but in a tie I would flip at this stage. I feel like I'm either supporting the majority alliance I'm not a part in with Jessica or the majority alliance that I'm not a part in with Cecilia at this stage, but I feel like it would be easier to weasel myself up through the Svinoy group than the Mykines group at this point, so that's why I'm currently leaning with Cecilia.
The questions I was actually supposed to answerWhat do you think about Mookie being voted off on Hestur? Any guesses about what's going down over there?
Mookie is a tough cookie. Though him being voted off means that there was some agreement on both sides about it. Papa Smurf says he likes Anthony so maybe Anthony was on the bottom of the original Mykines and made a move last night? Either way this is the beginning of the meshing of tribal lines.
How do you feel about the alliances on your original tribe seeing as they never had the opportunity to be tested at tribal? Anything change from what you thought after this round?
Eh I feel like the original Syvony's are solid. I feel like the actives are probably an opportunity to vote off JP first so the original Mykines can have the numbers. But I feel like there would be a swap because they would target Cecilia before me probably.
4 boots, no tribals, lucky you. What's the game plan if you guys end up there tonight?
^^all of the above.
Do you think that your tribe is operating under old or new tribal lines? What about the others?
i feel like this is a question that could really only be answered after the swap.
