Episode 12

[Jeff Probst]

Lots of interesting things brought up at Council. The thought of taking goats to the final 3 for an "easy win". Thoughts about the jury revolting against such a strategy. Thoughts of threats teaming up to avoiding being pagonged. Thoughts of Gender wars. Thoughts of unanimous blindsides to the end.

So what are your thoughts on all of the new thoughts :P

[Jessica]

The only thoughts I actually consider viable threats are the goat strategy and the idea of perceived "weak" players teaming up against perceived "strong" player.

Right now I am working with the Five Alive alliance of Stacy, Nate...why am I even explaining, it's pretty clear which other 4 people left I am still working with. I am also talking to Rocky, but his allegiance is wavering as ever. I also have a final 3 with Nate and Stacy, a final 2 with Candice, and a final 1 with myself.

I just need Rebecca out. Then I can get Penner out. Or maybe I can take Nate out. I don't know. Honestly, right now my #1 priority is making sure people are aware of how much the jury hates me and how I still trust everyone. There is no reason I should be targeted. I may be a threat, but everyone believes I'll take them to the end and that the jury won't vote for me. Maybe they won't. But if that's true, there's not much I can do at this point.

Just gotta keep everyone together. Just gotta stay united. Just gotta pray they're not cooking up a scheme. It could happen, but let's hope it doesn't. I know Jeff really hates how everything is going, too. He wants drama, excitement...and we're just giving predictability and friendship. Maybe he's annoyed with Rebecca staying so long. Maybe he wishes we weren't all so cocky about our plans. Whatever he dislikes, not much I can do since I have been working very hard to stay and keep things predictable. Sorry Jeffy.

[Jessica]

HERE'S INCOMING DRAMA! I HAVE A CONUNDRUM WITH WHO I WILL TAKE TO THE FINAL 3!

I want to take Stacy, bottom line, simply because she will take me and I think I can beat her. I also trust her more than anyone else.

I have a F2 with Candice, another strong player, and a F3 with Nate, strong as well. I like both of them, but I will have to make a choice post-Rebecca. Maybe I can buy myself another round with a Rocky kick, but I have to come to a choice soon about who I would rather send home: an ally I've had since the beginning, or someone I have recently gotten close to since Cici was taken out. Penner isn't a choice since I will not let India happen here. FUCK THE GOATS!

I'm bringing Stacy into the discussion since I want her to alleviate some blame from this decision. Honestly, I know either way will be fucked and it could hurt me if I choose wrong. But at this point I have led myself to the end and I need to create an ending.

[Jessica]

What a great clue!

[Jessica]

Candice tells me Nate and Penner are trying to get me out. Are you fucking serious? Guys, you can literally do that next round or the round after. hey want to keep that fucking inactive Rebecca over me! Does this mean I should've gotten rid of Rebecca sooner? No, because she has never been a threat!

I thought having this final 3 with Nate would give good reason for him not to betray me, but apparently not.

Tonight is the most vital night for getting immunity. If I don't win I will most likely be leaving. Right now I need to set things up so that either Rebecca leaves...or maybe Nate does.

Penner/Rocky/Nate vs. Jessica/Candice/Stacy

Battle of the sexes...shit. Rebecca sure as hell won't vote with us. Things couldn't get aaaaaany better now. If I win immunity again, I will not be sharing the clues with those guys. I need to stay in this game. I need to win. I can't let some stupid boys make a dumb move.

[Brenda Lowe]

Things seemed to have changed rapidly in the space of the last few posts. Is there any way around this apparent 4-3 split (3-3-1? idk) without relying on immunity?

[Jessica]

I have no idea what to believe or who to trust or what to do. I'm trying not to start shit, but it's already been started. I can only hope to get Nate on my side, get rid of Rebecca and then get rid of the rest.

If i don't win immunity I am pleading for my life in the council. I need this win. I need this safety. Right now it could be a 6-1 vote against me. Maybe it will be a 3-3-1, or a 3-4. This vote is confusing and it's harder when I can't really gauge who is trustworthy or who is using me. I mean, it's kind of clear Nate is working with Penner, but is Nate willing to work with me over him?

I just need to figure out how to sell Nate to himself to make him believe he's got a solid shot at winning. He does...but a little exaggeration might help things. I can make it clear how much I am hated and how flawed my game has been, while hyping up his secrecy and UTR gameplay.

[Jessica]

I'm not leaving without a fight. Nate may think he has the advantage here, but he is sorely mistaken. He is just as big of a threat as I am.

I will do everything I can to ensure Rebecca goes home and I stay
