Episode 10

[Jeff Probst]

With Cecilia blindsided it was the first blindside of the merge, do you feel that the game is different now?

With only 9 people remaining, it's an odd numbered vote, typically the perfect time for an alliance flip. Are you considering flipping on your current alliance, and if not, do you trust that your alliance won't flip on you first?

[Penner]

Am I considering? Considering?! I hope you notice that I went to bed, missed the tribal council and woke up with the alliance I put into motion yesterday having formed itself for me.

"Hey Penner, we all got together like you asked AND got you an idol clue, big love <3"

I'll need to put in some good work to make sure this happens though, believe that. I'm not so arrogant to think this will be a cakewalk. Stage one is to test the alliance by blindsiding Jessica, while keeping Cass in the dark. After that, I'll apologise to her profusely saying that I just didn't know how good friends they were because they were together in the beginning. Cass is back in the team for the next vote out of Stacy. From final 7, it's down to which of Cass and Nate don't have immunity, and the same at final 6.

Final 5 is me, Candice, Rocky, Lil and Rebecca. Rebecca is the goat. Do they think I'm a goat too? Maybe. My immunity challenge attendance has gotta go up, that's for sure. I'm pretty sure when I lay it out on the table though, my resume is pretty good when you realise how much of this I've been behind. This final 7 alliance that just blindsided CiCi was my doing too; I put the names out there with the main players (CiCi, Jess, Candice) and let them form it organically together, just like the final 5.

After that, I just have to somehow make it to FTC by convincing people that Candice is the big jury threat, and then I'm not sure who the other jury threat is. Probably Rocky out of those four, because Lil has a bunch of enemies. But that's a problem for future Penner.

[Penner]

Also Stacy said it best at last night's tribal council - I might look a little inactive if you just go off challenges/tribals, but I've been playing really hard in PMs. I do realise though that I'm gonna have to put on a bit of a show for the jury in the next few tribal councils so they know what's happening.

[Penner]

I mentioned I'm a fraud investigator in casting, right? Stacy has just hit me with lie that is a complete logic fail in an effort to get us to vote out Cass. Lying to Penner is a bad move. Let's see how today pans out! I'll try get another confessional in before TC once I know what's going down.

[Penner]

Or maybe we blindside Cass now then Candice and I are sitting pretty right in the middle.
