[Eliza Orlins]

I'm not really sure what to say to make up for not writing confessionals for almost an entire week, but I guess saying sorry is a good start, right? This last week was pretty eventful for me inside and outside this game, so I'm sorry for not telling you guys everything that's happening with Eliza right now.

The last two rounds at Valente weren't really important becase, after Frosti's elimination, the Outcast Alliance had a complete dominance over the rest of the tribemates challenge-wise and even strategic-wise. We had the numbers and we were definitely the strongest members of the tribe, so taking each other would be completely ludacris. So, we won the Immunity Challenge for the 7th round by a freaking landslide and when it came down to the last challenge of the tribal phase of this game, Judd decided to switch tribes and hand us over the immunity. I don't know how that exactly happened at all because I was sick, like food poisoning sick and I had to miss everything that happened.

Luckily, my disease didn't last for long and I came back for the game just one day later, when Valente was safe from going to Tribal Council again, which was amazing, because that tribe going to Tribal Council really meant getting a headache for the next two days in a row. Really, I don't want to go through all the shit that happened at that freaking Tribal Council all over again in my entire life.

Before that challenge, we were down to 12 contestants, which I thought was the ideal time for a merge, but, then, one thing that I have to know about this game is that you have to expect the unexpected, because we were still tribes until the Final Eleven, when, after a very weird and unecessary fake tribal swap, we were finally becoming only one single tribe, MALIKI.

I'm glad I finally made it to this point of the competition. I have to say that when I started this competition, I really didn't expect to go very far just because this series is known for having very active, strategical and sneaky players and I couldn't see myself fitting that role very much, but I'm happy that I won challenge after challenge after challenge and was able to make it to the halfway point of such a competitive and amazing game. Knowing that, from now on, everyone who leaves is automatically joining the Jury who will crown the winner of the season really makes me happy because even if I get voted out now, I'll have a chance to revenge my elimination and make some bitches work to get my vote at the Final Tribal Council. Also, I have to say I kinda feel bad for Wanda. That poor girl made the Final Twelve and the Jury, but never made the merge.

Right after the merge was announced, I was extremely happy. I didn't have to worry about winning immunity challenges or things like that for the rest of the competition because now things are going to be just individual and based even more on strategy. At first, I really wanted to stick together with Outcast Alliance all the way though to the end of the competition, but just moments later, I knew things were falling apart.

Everyone was talking to everyone and I got really scared that my whole plan that I was completely perfect would just completely vanish just because everyone thought they had a better deal playing with their Old Gwadatoo or Old Nesoi tribemates and that really made me kinda sad. I thought that me, Mike, Mary, Kelly and Coach were a solid group, but I could really see that some people were tighter than others and that a couple of them were already throwing each other under the bus. That's the case with Coach and Kelly. When we were at Desterrados and Valente, they hated each other. Just after the merge was revealed, Coach started talking about how much Kelly wants to be a Kardashian just like Kourtney. I didn't appreciate that because if we were falling apart just seconds after the reveal, imagine what would happen a couple of Tribal Councils later.

With that, I was personally expecting a lot of chaos coming from this merge, but I have say I wasn't expecting what was about to happen with me...

[Eliza Orlins]

One day after we were officialy merged, we had our first Individual Immunity Challenge. I was definitely expecting something very active and physical, but, instead, it was just a plain and simple Majority Rules. Like most of you know now, I'm a host and I know all the stuff that happens with these kind of challenges. Majority Rules and the coconut-chopping challenge are known for exposing players, duos and even complete alliances, so I got there ready to know what everyone had in mind and their opinions about everyone.

Seeing all the categories, I instantly knew I wasn't getting a lot of good awards. I definitely played as shadow for the biggest part of the competition because I'm not a big fan of becoming a strong and dangerous player right away. I always prefer to just lay low, sit back and watch while everyone cuts each other's throats in the beginning of the competition. Getting a huge neon target around your back is a very dangerous thing to do and, in most cases, it doesn't pay off at all.

So, I thought I was going to receive something like "Most Annoying" or something like that, but instead I get probably the worst one out of all of that considering I'm a returnee player:

Who never should have been cast in the first place?

That seriously hurt me, so I knew I had to make a move this week to show every single person left that I'm not just a number for Coach and Mary. And I did...

[Eliza Orlins]

After the results from the challenge, I got thinking about making some big moves because I guess everyone was seeing me as just Coach's minion and that's not a position I wanna be in this competition, because I'm not gonna waste this whole time just do handle Coach the title of Sole Survivor. So, I knew I had to make sure that I had better connections with a few of the power players. So, I decided to use the bond I made with Kourtney on the very first day to take a little advantadge of her power and see what that could bring me.

Kourtney Moon (1:02:03 PM):
Hi Elizaaa
Eliza Orlins (1:02:08 PM): Hey, Kourt
Kourtney Moon (1:02:19 PM): Sup? :-D
Kourtney Moon (1:05:29 PM): Oooh and did we ever talk about the vote? =-O
Eliza Orlins (1:05:52 PM): I don't think so
Eliza Orlins (1:06:00 PM): Also, I'm good
Eliza Orlins (1:06:02 PM): What about you?
Kourtney Moon (1:08:40 PM): Gooooood too. Just a sec, watching Big Brother
Eliza Orlins (1:08:44 PM): Ok
Kourtney Moon (1:14:18 PM): Alright
Kourtney Moon (1:14:22 PM): I'm here :-P
Kourtney Moon (1:14:26 PM): Have you heard anything about the vote?
Eliza Orlins (1:14:52 PM): I did
Eliza Orlins (1:15:02 PM): People are saying it's going to be a side vs. another side
Kourtney Moon (1:15:13 PM): =-O What side vs what side, lol
Kourtney Moon (1:15:22 PM): Because I'm not on any sides
Eliza Orlins (1:15:26 PM): Old Desterrados and Old Gwadatoo
Kourtney Moon (1:15:35 PM): Ah ok
Kourtney Moon (1:15:48 PM): so like 4v5 lol?
Kourtney Moon (1:15:51 PM): With Ace and I
Eliza Orlins (1:16:25 PM): I guess that
Kourtney Moon (1:16:58 PM): Do you think it'll fall that way?
Eliza Orlins (1:17:15 PM): I don't think I'm a part of either side
Kourtney Moon (1:17:23 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (1:17:30 PM): I'm not either, obviously
Kourtney Moon (1:17:37 PM): Lol
Eliza Orlins (1:18:44 PM): People really want to take the other side down and go all the way to the end
Eliza Orlins (1:18:52 PM): But I'm not really sure it's fun
Eliza Orlins (1:18:59 PM): Or good for me
Kourtney Moon (1:19:17 PM): Yeah, I feel like we're on the bottom no matter what sideee
Eliza Orlins (1:19:27 PM): Because I'm not sure if I'm taking MYSELF to the end or OTHER PEOPLE to the end
Kourtney Moon (1:19:45 PM): Yeah, I can see what you mean I guess
Eliza Orlins (1:19:56 PM): I see Survivor
Eliza Orlins (1:20:04 PM): People who are low are the first ones out the door
Eliza Orlins (1:20:11 PM): Low on the totem pole, I mean
Kourtney Moon (1:20:32 PM): Yeah, lol. Usually
Kourtney Moon (1:20:38 PM): Natalie definitely was
Eliza Orlins (1:20:46 PM): Unless they're a goat
Eliza Orlins (1:21:39 PM): I feel like if I side with Coach, for example, I'm not sure if I can get F3
Eliza Orlins (1:21:57 PM): Or even if I do, people might think he's more deserving because he was the leader or something like that
Kourtney Moon (1:22:26 PM): I can see what you're saying. But I don't really see him as a leader as much as a boss
Kourtney Moon (1:22:38 PM): You do this you do this etc., But I might have it wrong
Eliza Orlins (1:23:25 PM): Who do you see as the leader?
Kourtney Moon (1:23:34 PM): Of what?
Eliza Orlins (1:23:47 PM): Because if he's not the leader, someone is
Kourtney Moon (1:24:09 PM): Leader of what thoughhh
Eliza Orlins (1:24:22 PM): A side
Kourtney Moon (1:24:25 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (1:24:52 PM): I feel like Ted is the leader of Gwadatoo and I guess Coach as the other, but like I said, he's a boss not a leader :-P
Eliza Orlins (1:25:20 PM): I can see something like that
Eliza Orlins (1:25:39 PM): If leaders or bosses go to the end, they might win after all
Eliza Orlins (1:25:50 PM): And what's the fun in that?
Kourtney Moon (1:26:00 PM): :-P There is noneee
Eliza Orlins (1:26:04 PM): Exactly
Eliza Orlins (1:26:32 PM): But I don't know what to do
Eliza Orlins (1:26:44 PM): No one tells me anything
Kourtney Moon (1:26:53 PM): Well what do you WANT to do?
Kourtney Moon (1:26:59 PM): I don't really know what to do at this point either
Eliza Orlins (1:27:08 PM): Probably because they're waiting for their leaders to say what they have to do
Eliza Orlins (1:27:22 PM): I want to play a fun game
Eliza Orlins (1:27:33 PM): Because that's why I came here
Kourtney Moon (1:28:18 PM): Me too!
Eliza Orlins (1:28:42 PM): It doesn't have to be A vs. B
Kourtney Moon (1:28:57 PM): I see what you're saying, I just don't know if A or B will want to change anything
Kourtney Moon (1:29:00 PM): You know?
Eliza Orlins (1:29:03 PM): Yes
Kourtney Moon (1:29:17 PM): So we're sorta stuck
Eliza Orlins (1:29:27 PM): Or we can try to change things p
Eliza Orlins (1:29:28 PM): *up
Kourtney Moon (1:29:35 PM): And how's that? :-P
Eliza Orlins (1:29:48 PM): I'm not exactly sure how, but it's always an option
Kourtney Moon (1:30:04 PM): Not if we don't know how!
Eliza Orlins (1:30:21 PM): There's 11 people left
Eliza Orlins (1:30:24 PM): A lot can be done
Kourtney Moon (1:30:43 PM): So basically you're saying that either Coach or Ted needs to leave?
Kourtney Moon (1:30:48 PM): Because they're the leaders or whatever
Eliza Orlins (1:30:54 PM): Not exactly that
Kourtney Moon (1:30:57 PM): Coach has immunity :-P So you're putting the target on Ted?
Kourtney Moon (1:30:58 PM): Oh ok
Eliza Orlins (1:31:12 PM): I'm just saying that we don't have to follow orders
Kourtney Moon (1:31:40 PM): No we don't :-P
Kourtney Moon (1:31:52 PM): And up to this point I've been doing that in some way
Eliza Orlins (1:31:57 PM): Me too
Eliza Orlins (1:32:05 PM): Because it was the tribal phase
Eliza Orlins (1:32:12 PM): You can to suck up and do what the majority wants
Eliza Orlins (1:32:17 PM): Now it's an individual game
Kourtney Moon (1:32:54 PM): It is
Kourtney Moon (1:33:00 PM): Only one person can win :-P
Eliza Orlins (1:33:04 PM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (1:33:09 PM): And only 3 people are going to the end
Kourtney Moon (1:33:11 PM): Following people doesn't seem very winner worthy
Eliza Orlins (1:33:15 PM): Only 3
Eliza Orlins (1:33:19 PM): Not a whole alliance
Kourtney Moon (1:33:31 PM): Yess
Kourtney Moon (1:33:34 PM): So what are you sayingg?
Eliza Orlins (1:35:19 PM): I'm not exactly sure if I have a plan
Kourtney Moon (1:35:36 PM): Well let's make one?!
Eliza Orlins (1:35:42 PM): That would be very nice
Kourtney Moon (1:36:12 PM): You're pretty close with Coach right?
Kourtney Moon (1:36:17 PM): I mean, metaphorically
Kourtney Moon (1:36:18 PM): Or whatever
Eliza Orlins (1:36:19 PM): Yes
Kourtney Moon (1:36:21 PM): Figuratively, lol.
Kourtney Moon (1:36:27 PM): But you don't really want to be, right?
Eliza Orlins (1:36:32 PM): People think I'm his minion for a reason
Eliza Orlins (1:36:44 PM): I'm just saying I don't want to be his minion
Kourtney Moon (1:36:45 PM): Because you two are all like friends friends friends?
Eliza Orlins (1:36:56 PM): I don't want to play his game
Eliza Orlins (1:36:58 PM): I want to play mine
Kourtney Moon (1:37:25 PM): And by playing your own game you're saying you don't want to Coach to be gone but you don't want to be associated with him? Or?
Eliza Orlins (1:37:38 PM): Yes, something like that
Kourtney Moon (1:37:47 PM): Ah ok
Eliza Orlins (1:37:53 PM): I want to do what's best for me
Kourtney Moon (1:38:05 PM): Yess, me too
Kourtney Moon (1:38:10 PM): We need to figure out what that is though
Eliza Orlins (1:38:16 PM): Yes, we do
Kourtney Moon (1:38:43 PM): Any ideas?
Kourtney Moon (1:38:44 PM): :-P
Eliza Orlins (1:38:57 PM): Do you trust Ace?
Kourtney Moon (1:39:04 PM): For sure! :-D
Eliza Orlins (1:39:16 PM): Because I think we might be the 3 swing votes this time around
Kourtney Moon (1:39:23 PM): I do toooo
Kourtney Moon (1:39:37 PM): Kelly's against Coach too though, I know she's not wanting to follow him at all either'
Eliza Orlins (1:39:51 PM): Yes, Coach was definitely afraid of that before
Eliza Orlins (1:39:59 PM): That's almost 4
Kourtney Moon (1:40:13 PM): It IS 4, depending on what we do
Eliza Orlins (1:40:26 PM): That leaves Coach's alliance to him, Mike and Mary
Eliza Orlins (1:40:38 PM): Coach and Mike have immunity
Kourtney Moon (1:40:45 PM):
Eliza Orlins (1:40:50 PM): Bob said to me something earlier today
Eliza Orlins (1:40:59 PM): He was stuck between the two groups
Eliza Orlins (1:41:04 PM): And didn't know what to do
Kourtney Moon (1:41:08 PM): Who, Bob Dawg was?
Eliza Orlins (1:41:12 PM): Yes
Kourtney Moon (1:41:14 PM): Ahh ok
Kourtney Moon (1:41:20 PM): He told me that he's tight with Jay and Judd
Kourtney Moon (1:46:10 PM): So idk if that means anything :-P
Eliza Orlins (1:50:57 PM): Sorry
Eliza Orlins (1:50:58 PM): I'm back now
Kourtney Moon (1:51:02 PM): Oh ok!
Kourtney Moon (1:51:05 PM): It's cool :-D
Eliza Orlins (1:51:31 PM): If we take Mary because she's the only one from Desterrados without immunity, people might think we're siding with Gwadatoo
Kourtney Moon (1:52:05 PM): People are afraid of getting Mary out because of the speculation that Coach has an idolll
Eliza Orlins (1:52:29 PM): Oh, really?
Eliza Orlins (1:52:35 PM): Who do you think has the idols?
Kourtney Moon (2:01:12 PM): Idkk!
Kourtney Moon (2:01:17 PM): I just know I don't, lol
Kourtney Moon (2:01:21 PM): Despite what people say
Eliza Orlins (2:27:30 PM): I'm back
Eliza Orlins (2:27:31 PM): Sorry
Eliza Orlins (2:27:36 PM): I was eating lunch
Kourtney Moon (2:27:41 PM): No problem! I'm eating too :-P
Eliza Orlins (2:34:06 PM): Coach is talking to me
Kourtney Moon (2:34:26 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (2:34:28 PM): He is saying?
Kourtney Moon (2:34:33 PM): Me probably
Eliza Orlins (2:34:40 PM): Not at all
Eliza Orlins (2:34:43 PM): Kelly
Kourtney Moon (2:34:52 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (2:34:55 PM): Really?
Eliza Orlins (2:34:57 PM): That's a shocker, yes
Kourtney Moon (2:35:02 PM): Would've never guessed =-O
Eliza Orlins (2:35:07 PM): He knows she wants to flip
Kourtney Moon (2:35:43 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (2:35:46 PM): Right

Kourtney Moon (2:35:52 PM): *?
Eliza Orlins (2:35:55 PM): I fucking love Kelly :-(
Kourtney Moon (2:36:01 PM): I do too :-P
Kourtney Moon (2:36:05 PM): I'm not ok with her leavingg
Eliza Orlins (2:36:17 PM): Neither am I
Eliza Orlins (2:36:27 PM): We need to do something, I guess
Kourtney Moon (2:37:17 PM): What should we doo
Kourtney Moon (2:37:17 PM): =-O
Eliza Orlins (2:38:22 PM): We have to be quiet about it
Eliza Orlins (2:38:24 PM): Not talk too much
Kourtney Moon (2:38:36 PM): But what are we being quiet about?
Eliza Orlins (2:38:59 PM): Coach wants Kelly out
Kourtney Moon (2:39:10 PM): oooh
Kourtney Moon (2:39:35 PM): Oook. And we don't
Eliza Orlins (2:39:42 PM): And he's trying to get Judd's vote
Kourtney Moon (2:39:49 PM): Do you think he can?
Eliza Orlins (2:39:55 PM): Coach said Judd hates Kelly
Kourtney Moon (2:40:04 PM):
Eliza Orlins (2:40:18 PM): So they have Mary, Judd, Mike and Coach
Eliza Orlins (2:40:26 PM): They're waiting for me to get 5
Kourtney Moon (2:40:46 PM): UNLESS Judd is going to take Jay and Bob Dawg
Eliza Orlins (2:40:59 PM): Maybe
Kourtney Moon (2:41:02 PM): Because Bob Dawg said that he was close with both of them
Kourtney Moon (2:41:09 PM): But idk if he'll do that
Eliza Orlins (2:41:23 PM): They probably are enjoying it
Eliza Orlins (2:41:27 PM): Desterrados falling apart
Kourtney Moon (2:41:35 PM): :-P Probably
Kourtney Moon (2:41:39 PM): I think we all are a little bit
Eliza Orlins (2:42:00 PM): lol
Eliza Orlins (2:42:07 PM): That's just stupid
Eliza Orlins (2:42:12 PM): I don't know why he's doing that
Kourtney Moon (2:42:17 PM): Doing what?
Eliza Orlins (2:42:25 PM): Throwing Kelly under the bus
Kourtney Moon (2:42:29 PM): Oh
Kourtney Moon (2:42:41 PM): Because it's Coach, lol
Kourtney Moon (2:42:45 PM): He's an IDIOT
Eliza Orlins (2:49:01 PM): Do you think we can get anyone to NOT VOTE KELLY?
Kourtney Moon (2:49:16 PM): Ace and me and you and idk D:
Eliza Orlins (2:50:49 PM): We need 2 more
Kourtney Moon (2:50:55 PM): Talking to Jay
Kourtney Moon (2:55:50 PM): Hmm
Kourtney Moon (2:57:03 PM): So basically Mike is telling me the same you did :-P
Eliza Orlins (2:57:09 PM): Oh, really?
Kourtney Moon (2:57:10 PM): Doesn't want to be placed in a group etc.
Eliza Orlins (2:57:18 PM): Whoa
Kourtney Moon (2:57:27 PM): =-O
Eliza Orlins (2:57:34 PM): Now I am shocked
Kourtney Moon (2:57:43 PM): You're not the only thing :-P
Kourtney Moon (2:57:45 PM): *one
Eliza Orlins (3:00:19 PM): I was expecting that
Eliza Orlins (3:00:22 PM): *wasn't
Kourtney Moon (3:03:40 PM): I wasn't either :-P
Kourtney Moon (3:04:16 PM): I think I might be able to get Mike, lol. Do you think you have anyone you could potentially sway?
Eliza Orlins (3:04:30 PM): Not sure
Eliza Orlins (3:04:42 PM): I don't trust Judd
Eliza Orlins (3:04:44 PM): He talks a lot
Kourtney Moon (3:05:29 PM): Hmm
Kourtney Moon (3:05:37 PM): Just gimme a moment :-P I'm trying to think
Eliza Orlins (3:05:40 PM): oK
Kourtney Moon (3:10:02 PM): He thinks you're glued to Coach :-P
Eliza Orlins (3:10:07 PM): Really?
Eliza Orlins (3:10:20 PM): Wow
Kourtney Moon (3:10:22 PM): Mike Chiesl 1:07 pm
i know she likes him
but she may be able to swayed
she doesnt talk to many people
so i dont think she has many options
it may be hard for her to go against him
Kourtney Moon (3:10:33 PM): And then he says "u never know"
Kourtney Moon (3:10:39 PM): He's about to talk to you about it I think
Eliza Orlins (3:10:47 PM): Awesome
Kourtney Moon (3:14:52 PM): He says he's waiting on a response lolol
Eliza Orlins (3:28:24 PM): I'm talking to him
Eliza Orlins (3:29:19 PM): He wants to make a move
Kourtney Moon (3:29:24 PM): Yeah, I can tell
Kourtney Moon (3:29:29 PM): Bob says that Judd talks a lot
Kourtney Moon (3:29:45 PM): He's just afraid it'll create a lot lot of chaos
Eliza Orlins (3:29:56 PM): Yes, Judd can't keep his mouth shut
Eliza Orlins (3:31:10 PM): Mike wants to do something, but he's afraid to take out Mary
Kourtney Moon (3:31:18 PM): And why's that?
Eliza Orlins (3:40:28 PM): Bob just talked with me
Kourtney Moon (3:41:43 PM): Yess
Kourtney Moon (3:41:46 PM): He's all gewd
Eliza Orlins (3:41:53 PM): About voting Judd?
Kourtney Moon (3:42:10 PM): Yep
Eliza Orlins (3:42:19 PM): That seems smart
Eliza Orlins (3:43:24 PM): He really talks too much
Eliza Orlins (3:43:30 PM): And we don't know where his head is at
Kourtney Moon (3:43:55 PM): Yeah
Kourtney Moon (3:43:58 PM): And he gets SO paranoid all the time
Kourtney Moon (3:44:01 PM): And it's not a good thing
Eliza Orlins (3:44:05 PM): I think Judd/Coach/Mary are going for Kelly
Kourtney Moon (3:44:11 PM): They probably will
Eliza Orlins (3:44:21 PM): They definitely are
Eliza Orlins (3:44:26 PM): Kelly is next on Mary's bootlist
Kourtney Moon (3:44:32 PM): Oooh
Kourtney Moon (3:44:34 PM): How u kno!
Eliza Orlins (3:44:38 PM): Coach just told me
Kourtney Moon (3:44:42 PM): Oooh
Eliza Orlins (3:44:48 PM): Mary is away and gave her bootlist to Coach
Kourtney Moon (3:44:52 PM): Ok. And this actually makes the vote easier to have a majority
Kourtney Moon (3:44:57 PM): Because like, the votes are gonna be split
Eliza Orlins (3:47:50 PM): Actually, Coach is not sure about Judd now
Eliza Orlins (3:48:01 PM): He's trying to get Judd because Judd hates Kelly
Kourtney Moon (3:48:21 PM): What do you mean?
Eliza Orlins (3:49:15 PM): Judd didn't answer his PM yet
Eliza Orlins (3:49:26 PM): But Judd and Kelly don't like each other
Eliza Orlins (3:49:33 PM): So Coach is trying to use that to take her out
Kourtney Moon (3:49:38 PM): Alright
Eliza Orlins (3:49:56 PM): Bob and Mike said they're cool with the plan
Kourtney Moon (3:51:12 PM): :DD
Eliza Orlins (3:51:33 PM): Did you talk to Ace?

Kourtney Moon (3:53:18 PM): He'll be all good, lol.
Eliza Orlins (3:53:21 PM): Do you think you can get his vote?
Kourtney Moon (3:53:30 PM): He mentioned the other day that he didn't want to stick with the old Gwad
Kourtney Moon (3:53:37 PM): So yeah he'll be 100% coo lwith it
Kourtney Moon (3:53:38 PM): *cool

Kourtney Moon (4:04:42 PM): Of course!
Kourtney Moon (4:04:47 PM): I'll try to make sure it doesn't though
Kourtney Moon (4:04:52 PM): Go learn! Woo!
Eliza Orlins (4:05:46 PM): LMFAO :-P
Eliza Orlins (4:07:33 PM): I hope things stay the same until I comeback
Eliza Orlins (4:10:30 PM): ttyl
Kourtney Moon (4:10:38 PM): Oh! okkk, byeee <#
Kourtney Moon (4:10:40 PM): <3

So, while I was talking to Kourtney, some other people came up to me to ask what the hell I was gonna do about the vote since Mike and Coach had immunity on the necks, while the vote was probably gonna be me or Mary, because people were definitely seeing both of us as kinda like Coach's maids.

Bob Dawg (12:21:11 AM): so what are you thinking for this vote?
Bob Dawg (12:21:21 AM): Do you think Desterado is going to stick together or not?
Eliza Orlins (12:21:25 AM): I seriously don't know
Eliza Orlins (12:21:32 AM): I think some people want Desterrados to stick together
Bob Dawg (12:21:41 AM): i feel in between both groups and i don't really have strong ties
Bob Dawg (12:21:42 AM): to eitehr group
Eliza Orlins (12:22:10 AM): But I don't know if I can get far into the game with them
Eliza Orlins (12:22:23 AM): I definitely feel the low (wo)man on the totem pole
Eliza Orlins (12:23:06 AM): And, you know, I watch Survivor
Eliza Orlins (12:23:12 AM): I know what happens to those people
Bob Dawg (12:23:19 AM): yea
Bob Dawg (12:23:24 AM): i feel like that with both sides
Bob Dawg (12:23:35 AM): i was on pretty good terms with a couple of orginal Gwadatoo
Bob Dawg (12:23:37 AM): but then i left htem
Eliza Orlins (12:24:47 AM): I don't know if I can trust Judd. Not because of something he said to me, but because people kept saying that he wanted me out or something
Eliza Orlins (12:24:54 AM): At the Frosti vote
Bob Dawg (12:25:00 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:25:19 AM): But I don't have anything against anyone left
Eliza Orlins (12:25:32 AM): I feel like him and I need to talk, but I never see him online
Eliza Orlins (12:25:51 AM): Because, you know, rumors might be true, but they can also be false
Bob Dawg (12:27:54 AM): yea Judd is iffy
Bob Dawg (12:27:57 AM): i really like him
Bob Dawg (12:27:58 AM): but he has a big mouth
Eliza Orlins (12:28:08 AM): I feel like this is a big Tribal Council
Eliza Orlins (12:28:14 AM): Definitely gonna set the mood for the rest of the game
Bob Dawg (12:28:28 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:28:50 AM): So, you think it's gonna be Old Desterrados against Old Gwadatoo?
Eliza Orlins (12:30:01 AM): Not very fun, I hate Pagongings
Bob Dawg (12:32:52 AM): it could be
Bob Dawg (12:32:59 AM): yea
Bob Dawg (12:33:10 AM): if im going to fufill my Majority Rules Destiny
Eliza Orlins (12:33:17 AM): LOL
Bob Dawg (12:33:21 AM): i can't go to the final 5 with old gwadatoo unless i think i can win out
Eliza Orlins (12:33:39 AM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (12:34:45 AM): And it would make for a boring game in a way
Eliza Orlins (12:35:00 AM): You only win in a Pagonging in two cases:
Eliza Orlins (12:35:06 AM): a) You're the brain because the operation
Eliza Orlins (12:35:12 AM): b) Everyone you take is a goat
Eliza Orlins (12:35:17 AM): *behind
Bob Dawg (12:35:20 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:36:03 AM): And you can be the leader and not win, like Coach in SoPa
Bob Dawg (12:37:15 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:37:25 AM): Maybe shaking and mixing things up might be the best solution to make it further
Bob Dawg (12:37:32 AM): yea
Bob Dawg (12:37:34 AM): but its scurry
Bob Dawg (12:37:46 AM): you don't know what information is going where
Eliza Orlins (12:37:53 AM): Everyone has to take risks sometimes
Bob Dawg (12:38:37 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:41:34 AM): So, did you already hear someone's name coming up?
Bob Dawg (12:41:56 AM): i heard Mary's name come up
Bob Dawg (12:42:01 AM): haven't heard what Coach is thinking yet
Eliza Orlins (12:42:05 AM): I think some people are kinda afraid to talk with me because they think I'm with Desterrados
Bob Dawg (12:42:10 AM): yea
Eliza Orlins (12:42:16 AM): Kourtney said to me that everyone is saying I'm Coach's minion
Bob Dawg (12:42:22 AM): well
Eliza Orlins (12:42:39 AM): I'm not very happy with that, actually
Bob Dawg (12:42:41 AM): voting Mary would help since she's seen as the main minion
Bob Dawg (12:42:50 AM): i dunno if i personally want to do that yet htough
Eliza Orlins (12:43:10 AM): It's strange people only see me and Mary as minions
Eliza Orlins (12:43:12 AM): But not Kelly
Bob Dawg (12:44:12 AM): i see Kelly as a minion
Bob Dawg (12:44:31 AM): she told me she was voting Mike the round Frosti left and she didn't. Thats very miniony
Eliza Orlins (12:44:56 AM): Coach said that she was kinda playing both sides with Kourtney, but I don't know
Eliza Orlins (12:45:28 AM): Everything Old Desterrados did at Frosti's TC was very minion-ish, I have to say that
Eliza Orlins (12:45:45 AM): People were waiting for Coach to come online to even decide a vote
Eliza Orlins (12:45:59 AM): Now that I look back, I see how much that was crazy
Bob Dawg (12:50:07 AM): haha
Bob Dawg (12:50:29 AM): i have ice cream (:
sausagebobdawg signed off at 1:34:29 AM
Bob Dawg (3:30:20 PM): Hi Liza
Eliza Orlins (3:30:24 PM): Hey, Bob
Bob Dawg (3:30:36 PM): What's up
Eliza Orlins (3:30:43 PM): I'm good
Eliza Orlins (3:30:44 PM): And you?
Bob Dawg (3:32:06 PM): On our way to the beach
Eliza Orlins (3:32:13 PM): Oh, that's good
Bob Dawg (3:33:51 PM): Yup yup. So this vote might get crazy
Eliza Orlins (3:33:57 PM): Maybe
Eliza Orlins (3:34:00 PM): What are you hearing?
Bob Dawg (3:36:22 PM): Kourtney wants to change things up
Eliza Orlins (3:36:28 PM): How?
Bob Dawg (3:37:56 PM): She wants me, you, her, mike, Kelly and maybe ace to team up
Eliza Orlins (3:38:09 PM): What do you think about that?
Bob Dawg (3:38:32 PM): I mean it makes sense
Eliza Orlins (3:39:10 PM): Who do you think we should vote out, then?
Bob Dawg (3:39:26 PM): She thought Judd
Bob Dawg (3:41:15 PM): I mean me and him are kind of tight but he talks to much and I know he's closer with J and Tes
Eliza Orlins (3:41:40 PM): Judd created a lot of drama in Frosti's week
Bob Dawg (3:41:52 PM): Yea he did. He talks too much
Bob Dawg (3:42:06 PM): And then he never told me what he was actually doing
Eliza Orlins (3:42:35 PM): Oh, really?
Bob Dawg (3:42:54 PM): Yea I thought he was votig mike that round lol
Eliza Orlins (3:43:06 PM): And he voted for who?
Bob Dawg (3:43:40 PM): Frosti
Eliza Orlins (3:44:11 PM): Oh
Bob Dawg (3:46:47 PM): Yea I mean it was fine. He just told me he was voting mike.
Eliza Orlins (3:47:01 PM): So he lied for no reason?
Eliza Orlins (3:47:36 PM): That's not good
Bob Dawg (3:47:52 PM): But yea I think this is a good move
Bob Dawg (3:47:52 PM): Yea no reason at all
Bob Dawg (3:50:55 PM): Are you watching the Olympics
Eliza Orlins (3:51:00 PM): Not right now
Eliza Orlins (3:51:04 PM): I was watching it earlier
Bob Dawg (3:51:34 PM): Anything fun?
Bob Dawg (3:51:44 PM): Like table tennis!
Eliza Orlins (3:52:12 PM): Brazil is not doing very good right now
Eliza Orlins (3:52:20 PM): Cielo was the favorite for the gold in swimming
Eliza Orlins (3:52:23 PM): And he got bronze
Bob Dawg (3:52:46 PM): A medal is still good but that sucks
Eliza Orlins (3:53:01 PM): It sucks because everyone believed in him after Beijing
Eliza Orlins (3:53:10 PM): He won gold in Beijing
Bob Dawg (3:54:10 PM): It's tough to win back to back
Eliza Orlins (3:54:16 PM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (3:54:20 PM): Only Phelps did it :-P
Bob Dawg (3:55:28 PM): Phelps won back to back to back. He's part fish
Eliza Orlins (3:55:35 PM): Yes!
Eliza Orlins (3:55:50 PM): I don't know how he does that
Bob Dawg (3:55:58 PM): Me neither
Bob Dawg (4:02:44 PM): I'll bbl
Eliza Orlins (4:03:26 PM): So, you're voting for Judd too?

lumbze13 (2:40:21 PM): hey!
Eliza Orlins (2:40:29 PM): Hey, Mike
clumbze13 (2:40:47 PM): hows it going
Eliza Orlins (2:42:31 PM): I'm good
clumbze13 (2:42:53 PM): that is good
clumbze13 (2:42:57 PM): have you been feeling better
Eliza Orlins (2:43:02 PM): Yes, definitely
Eliza Orlins (2:43:10 PM): The food poisoning is gone, I think
clumbze13 (2:43:29 PM): that is good
clumbze13 (2:43:36 PM): did coach talk to you about tribal?
Eliza Orlins (2:44:27 PM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (2:44:30 PM): He did
Eliza Orlins (2:44:35 PM): About the whole Kelly issue?
clumbze13 (2:45:11 PM): yeah
clumbze13 (2:46:52 PM): its risky
clumbze13 (2:47:05 PM): I just want to make sure we have numbers on our side
Eliza Orlins (2:48:08 PM): We do?
Eliza Orlins (2:48:10 PM): For sure?
clumbze13 (2:48:29 PM): im not sure
clumbze13 (2:55:24 PM): what do you think is the best thing to do?
Eliza Orlins (2:55:32 PM): I don't know
Eliza Orlins (2:55:40 PM): That could make or break our game
clumbze13 (2:55:45 PM): mhm
clumbze13 (3:11:20 PM): kourtney is asking me how close you are to coach
clumbze13 (3:11:26 PM): what should i say
clumbze13 (3:11:45 PM): i just said you liked him and they talk but not sure how close they are
Eliza Orlins (3:14:53 PM): I think we're close, but people are saying I'm his minion
Eliza Orlins (3:15:01 PM): And I don't want to be considered that
Eliza Orlins (3:17:03 PM): I think peoole see both of us as Coach's minions
clumbze13 (3:17:15 PM): yes
clumbze13 (3:17:17 PM): they do
Eliza Orlins (3:17:18 PM): That's why we "won" that category
clumbze13 (3:17:30 PM): and i dont want to get screwed because of that
Eliza Orlins (3:17:38 PM): Me neither
Eliza Orlins (3:18:01 PM): I don't want to go to the end
Eliza Orlins (3:18:09 PM): And lose just because people are saying I played Coach's gam
Eliza Orlins (3:18:11 PM): e
clumbze13 (3:19:42 PM): yeah
clumbze13 (3:19:56 PM): i trust u and him the most
clumbze13 (3:20:02 PM): but if it is us 3 in the end per se
Eliza Orlins (3:20:03 PM): Also, I'm not sure if I'm high on the totem pole
clumbze13 (3:20:06 PM): we have no shot
Eliza Orlins (3:20:18 PM): Coach and Mary have a strong thing FOR SURE
clumbze13 (3:20:23 PM): they do i know
clumbze13 (3:20:30 PM): and i think we need both of them
clumbze13 (3:20:40 PM): kourt just confirmed kelly is not a fan of coach
Eliza Orlins (3:20:44 PM): Yes
clumbze13 (3:20:56 PM): so i think we need mary and coach for a while
clumbze13 (3:21:05 PM): but i think at some point have to turn on them
Eliza Orlins (3:21:18 PM): People are too afraid to take Coach and Mary
Eliza Orlins (3:21:21 PM): Because of the idol
Eliza Orlins (3:21:36 PM): So they are probably going to gun for both of us next
clumbze13 (3:22:11 PM): yeah
Eliza Orlins (3:22:19 PM): We need to make a move
Eliza Orlins (3:22:25 PM): To take the target off our backs
clumbze13 (3:24:26 PM): yes
clumbze13 (3:25:44 PM): i actually think it would help us if kelly left
Eliza Orlins (3:25:50 PM): Really?
clumbze13 (3:26:05 PM): well i think it would be best if kourt or bob left
clumbze13 (3:26:12 PM): but i dont think that would happen
Eliza Orlins (3:26:17 PM): It can
Eliza Orlins (3:26:21 PM): Nobody is expecting that
clumbze13 (3:26:56 PM): true
clumbze13 (3:27:03 PM): coach said he was afraid of that
Eliza Orlins (3:27:12 PM): Why?
Eliza Orlins (3:27:22 PM): Kourtney and Ace feel like they're swing votes
clumbze13 (3:27:41 PM): coach was afraid of going after bob anway
clumbze13 (3:27:49 PM): kourt is very against coach
Eliza Orlins (3:28:01 PM): Yes, she is
Eliza Orlins (3:28:07 PM): Because Coach is very against her
clumbze13 (3:28:12 PM): i thought ace was against kourt
clumbze13 (3:28:14 PM): but not sure
Eliza Orlins (3:28:20 PM): Kourt said they were together
clumbze13 (3:28:29 PM): she told me that too
clumbze13 (3:30:48 PM): either way we just cant lose mary this round
Eliza Orlins (3:30:58 PM): Are you sure?
clumbze13 (3:31:04 PM): i think
clumbze13 (3:31:14 PM): im not sure but i feel like it would be those 6 vs us 5
clumbze13 (3:31:18 PM): with kelly not being solid on us
clumbze13 (3:31:25 PM): which gives us 4 people
clumbze13 (3:31:28 PM): i could be wrong
clumbze13 (3:31:29 PM): but i dunno
clumbze13 (3:31:33 PM): what do u think
Eliza Orlins (3:31:58 PM): Does it have to be us against them always?
clumbze13 (3:32:05 PM): no
clumbze13 (3:32:16 PM): i dont want it to
Eliza Orlins (3:32:21 PM): Me neither
clumbze13 (3:32:23 PM): but i know this round that is what everyone is assuming
Eliza Orlins (3:33:21 PM): Maybe it's time to change things up ourselves
clumbze13 (3:33:26 PM): yeah
Eliza Orlins (3:33:27 PM): To make everyone know we're not minions
clumbze13 (3:33:33 PM): i agre
clumbze13 (3:33:40 PM): but do u think it is too early
clumbze13 (3:33:47 PM): well what did u have in mind
Eliza Orlins (3:34:16 PM): I don't think it's too early
Eliza Orlins (3:34:20 PM): It's the perfect time
Eliza Orlins (3:34:29 PM): Because what happens now is gonna set the mood for the rest of the game
clumbze13 (3:34:45 PM): that is true
clumbze13 (3:34:50 PM): i was telling kourt that
clumbze13 (3:34:55 PM): it shouldnt be side vs side
Eliza Orlins (3:35:03 PM): Yes
clumbze13 (3:35:03 PM): as long as there is 6 votes the same way
clumbze13 (3:35:19 PM): so even me u her and kelly and ace and 1 other person can team up
clumbze13 (3:35:21 PM): or something
Eliza Orlins (3:35:31 PM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (3:35:38 PM): Kelly is like a free agent
clumbze13 (3:39:00 PM): i brought it up to kourt
clumbze13 (3:39:11 PM): she was like purrrfect
clumbze13 (3:39:19 PM): and she was like just got bob dawg on board
Eliza Orlins (3:39:27 PM): Yes
clumbze13 (3:39:29 PM): so hopefully we can forma strogn 6 alliance
Eliza Orlins (3:39:30 PM): Bob was talking with me
clumbze13 (3:41:07 PM): who should we target?
Eliza Orlins (3:41:16 PM): Kourtney is saying Judd to him
clumbze13 (3:41:23 PM): sounds good
Eliza Orlins (3:41:31 PM): Because he talks too much
clumbze13 (3:41:43 PM): cool
Eliza Orlins (3:45:28 PM): I think this is a good plan
Eliza Orlins (3:45:36 PM): Definitely changes a whole lot of things up
Eliza Orlins (3:45:47 PM): And he get into a better position
clumbze13 (3:45:48 PM): yes
Eliza Orlins (3:45:52 PM): *we
Eliza Orlins (3:46:22 PM): We don't burn all our bridges with Coach/Mary
clumbze13 (3:46:38 PM): no and im close with jay and ted
clumbze13 (3:46:42 PM): so this is awesome
Eliza Orlins (3:46:50 PM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (3:48:15 PM): We can tell Kelly she owes us something
clumbze13 (3:49:46 PM): yeah
clumbze13 (3:49:53 PM): i may vote with coach
Eliza Orlins (3:50:00 PM): For Kelly?
clumbze13 (3:50:03 PM): yeah
Eliza Orlins (3:50:06 PM): Why?
clumbze13 (3:50:06 PM): to keep up the rouse
Eliza Orlins (3:50:10 PM): Oh, I see
clumbze13 (3:50:10 PM): so he can tell me things
Eliza Orlins (3:50:34 PM): That's smart
Eliza Orlins (3:50:40 PM): Pretend like you don't know anything
clumbze13 (3:53:49 PM): yeah i am
clumbze13 (3:54:14 PM): but he is set on voting kelly
Eliza Orlins (3:54:27 PM): Coach?
Eliza Orlins (3:54:28 PM): Yes, he is
clumbze13 (3:54:29 PM): i will just say i was nervous and knew it wasnt happening
Eliza Orlins (3:54:34 PM): Because that's Mary's bootlist vote
clumbze13 (3:54:35 PM): so we voted judd
clumbze13 (3:54:58 PM): this is perfect
clumbze13 (3:55:03 PM): there will be 10 people left
clumbze13 (3:55:08 PM): 6 in our alliance
clumbze13 (3:55:13 PM): and the other 4 we could use for backup
Eliza Orlins (3:55:17 PM): So, are you voting Judd or Kelly?
clumbze13 (3:55:17 PM): later
clumbze13 (3:55:20 PM): judd
Eliza Orlins (3:55:23 PM): Awesome
Eliza Orlins (3:55:25 PM): We can get the 6
Eliza Orlins (3:55:26 PM): votes
Eliza Orlins (3:55:30 PM): That we need to take him out
clumbze13 (3:55:30 PM): i asked kourt about it
clumbze13 (3:55:48 PM): she said just stay with judd since ace and kelly arent here
Eliza Orlins (3:56:13 PM): She said Ace is fully on board because he doesn't want to work with Old Gwadatoo
Eliza Orlins (3:56:18 PM): And I think Kelly is going to agree
Eliza Orlins (3:56:23 PM): Because she hated Judd
Eliza Orlins (3:56:28 PM): And because her ass is on the line
clumbze13 (3:56:41 PM): yes
clumbze13 (3:56:49 PM): we need to try to still keep a good raport with coach
clumbze13 (3:56:57 PM): i may tell him i voted judd last minute
Eliza Orlins (3:57:01 PM): Yes
clumbze13 (3:57:03 PM): because people said that is what was happening
Eliza Orlins (3:57:08 PM): That's a good idea
clumbze13 (3:57:13 PM): cause once we get down
clumbze13 (3:57:17 PM): a few rounds
Eliza Orlins (3:57:18 PM): Judd's very volatile
clumbze13 (3:57:22 PM): people arent going to stay loyal
Eliza Orlins (3:57:23 PM): Not one is trusting him
clumbze13 (3:57:30 PM): so we need back up plans
clumbze13 went away at 3:58:42 PM
clumbze13 (3:59:11 PM): either way u r my final 2 regardless!
Eliza Orlins (3:59:20 PM): Oh, thank you <3
Eliza Orlins (3:59:21 PM): You too
Eliza Orlins (3:59:31 PM): I feel like I can definitely trust you

As you can see, I wasn't the only member of Old Desterrados to decide to try to mix things up just because I was seen as some kind of blind follower. Mike had the same gut feeling that he wasn't very up on the Desterrados totem pole now that things have changed and the tribal game turned into an individual game. So, we decided to vote with Kourtney and Bob Dawg who mysterously love each other and just can't stop telling everything each other. Also, they said that they had Kelly's and Ace's vote to make sure that Judd was the one going home, and not Kelly, like Coach was really trying to vote out.

[Eliza Orlins]

My plan for the past Tribal Council was to vote Judd out with a very strange alliance formed just because people weren't really buying the whole Pagonging plan that was definitely going on during the first day of the merge. So, we had six or, well, I thought we had six strong:

And, while we were definitely scheming behind everyone's backs, I was still pretending to be 100% alright with everything that Coach told me, because I wasn't planning on burning any kind of bridges before the actual vote. I sure do love some drama, but not when it's obviously gonna make things worse for my gameplay.

Coach Wade (2:28:54 PM): Hey
Eliza Orlins (2:28:59 PM): Hey, Coach
Eliza Orlins (2:29:03 PM): How are you?
Coach Wade (2:29:16 PM): I'm not too bad. A little drowsy since I only just woke up
Coach Wade (2:29:25 PM): Feeling better?
Eliza Orlins (2:30:41 PM): I am
Coach Wade (2:30:47 PM): That's good
Coach Wade (2:31:33 PM): I was hoping to catch you before the vote to have a word about it
Coach Wade (2:31:37 PM): I want you to stay in the loop
Eliza Orlins (2:31:39 PM): Sure
Eliza Orlins (2:31:44 PM): I want too
Coach Wade (2:32:28 PM): I still think the biggest single threat in the game is Kourtney. I think Bob Dawg is a growing threat and I think he could easily join up with her to gain a decent voting majority, especially if a couple of others do
Coach Wade (2:32:35 PM): So I'm not feeling a vote straight for Kourtney off the bat
Coach Wade (2:32:42 PM): I think some people will be voting that way
Eliza Orlins (2:32:45 PM): What are you thinking?
Coach Wade (2:33:04 PM): Kourtney has an ally in our midst
Coach Wade (2:33:10 PM): I'm worried about it
Eliza Orlins (2:33:14 PM): Who?
Coach Wade (2:33:17 PM): I think it'll come back to bite us if we don't act on it
Coach Wade (2:33:18 PM): Kelly
Eliza Orlins (2:33:27 PM): So you want to take out Kelly?
Coach Wade (2:33:50 PM): I'm worried that Kourtney will swing enough votes to turn on us as a large faction
Coach Wade (2:33:54 PM): We seem pretty threatening
Coach Wade (2:33:57 PM): Desterrados 5
Coach Wade (2:34:01 PM): People think we're a unit
Eliza Orlins (2:34:13 PM): Oh, yes
Coach Wade (2:34:14 PM): And I think she might be able to swing even Kelly when that time comes
Coach Wade (2:34:26 PM): I've discussed this with Mike and Mary who both agree
Eliza Orlins (2:34:36 PM): Do you think we can get the votes?
Coach Wade (2:34:49 PM): If you vote with us we'll have 4 votes guaranteed
Coach Wade (2:35:03 PM): I've messaged Judd about it, simply because I know he doesn't get along with her
Coach Wade (2:35:11 PM): I thought he'd be a good person to bring on as the fifth vote
Coach Wade (2:35:15 PM): and I don't think he'll spread it
Eliza Orlins (2:35:17 PM): We need 6
Coach Wade (2:35:37 PM): Not necessarily. It depends how all the others vote. I need to speak to a few more people and find out what the general consensus is
Eliza Orlins (2:35:44 PM): Alright
Coach Wade (2:36:01 PM): We only need 5 if the other 6 people aren't all voting for the same player
Eliza Orlins (2:36:10 PM): Yes, that's right
Coach Wade (2:36:20 PM): I wanted to let you know in any case
Coach Wade (2:36:28 PM): It's up to you if you think it's right or not
Coach Wade (2:36:37 PM): But I have heard from multiple people now about Kelly's affiliations
Coach Wade (2:36:44 PM): and she put up a hell of a fight against voting out Frosti
Eliza Orlins (2:36:52 PM): You definitely have a point
Coach Wade (2:37:38 PM): It's best if this stays quiet but I know you know that already
Coach Wade (2:37:43 PM): I don't think Kelly knows about this at all
Coach Wade (2:37:49 PM): If she does somebody who I spoke to leaked it
Eliza Orlins (2:37:50 PM): Yes, sure
Coach Wade (2:38:02 PM): And it's only me, Mary, Mike and Judd who could've
Coach Wade (2:38:19 PM): It's a risky vote but we're in a really dangerous place
Coach Wade (2:38:43 PM): I think if people see that we're not a unit working all together they might be more inclined to let us slip through
Coach Wade (2:38:51 PM): Or they might pick us off one by one
Coach Wade (2:38:54 PM): Really hard to say
Coach Wade (2:39:02 PM): But if they're going to pick us off one by one they'll do that anyway
Coach Wade (2:39:11 PM): And I'd rather direct the votes towards somebody who can't be trusted
Eliza Orlins (2:39:28 PM): Yes, I see
Coach Wade (2:39:56 PM): I wanted to let you know anyway. I'll keep you up to date
Coach Wade (2:40:01 PM): Mary is away so I have her bootlist
Eliza Orlins (2:40:02 PM): Awesome
Coach Wade (2:48:36 PM): Well I'm talking it over with Mike at the moment
Eliza Orlins (2:48:44 PM): Me too
Coach Wade (2:48:55 PM): We're deciding whether or not to go through with it. Neither of us know enough about the other votes to make a firm decision
Coach Wade (3:35:09 PM): Kourtney is trying to rally support from you and Mike to vote against Mary
Coach Wade (3:35:17 PM): He's talking to her about it
Coach Wade (3:35:42 PM): I think we need to stay on the Kelly vote. She won't stick with us and vote alongside us
Coach Wade (3:35:49 PM): I feel safer taking out somebody who I know Kourtney has a hold over
Eliza Orlins (3:35:54 PM): Yes, Kourtney is trying to talk with me
Coach Wade (3:36:11 PM): The fact she's trying to get you two on board means she doesn't have the numbers
Coach Wade (3:36:16 PM): it's a last attempt
Coach Wade (3:36:28 PM): And if she doesn't have the numbers, we can get majority without six
Eliza Orlins (3:36:50 PM): That's true
Eliza Orlins (3:37:03 PM): Maybe the vote will be split by tribe or something
Coach Wade (3:37:19 PM): Like the original gwadatoo?
Eliza Orlins (3:37:31 PM): Bob said that Old Gwadatoo is sticking together
Coach Wade (3:37:37 PM): That doesn't surprise me
Coach Wade (3:38:02 PM): Though Ace isn't a part of that
Coach Wade (3:38:11 PM): Which means I may be able to talk him into voting against
Coach Wade (3:38:49 PM): Well that being the case, we won't get numbers against somebody from old Gwadatoo
Coach Wade (3:38:52 PM): For this tribal
Coach Wade (3:39:02 PM): We can't vote for Ace because he might be swayed to join our side
Coach Wade (3:39:07 PM): That only leaves Kourtney and Kelly
Eliza Orlins (3:40:57 PM): But Bob told me he's kinda contemplaiting voting with us or Gwadatoo last night
Eliza Orlins (3:41:08 PM): So they have 3 numbers
Coach Wade (3:41:37 PM): True
Eliza Orlins (3:41:45 PM): Ted/Jay/Judd
Coach Wade (3:41:48 PM): But Bob won't vote against Ted, Judd or Jay
Coach Wade (3:41:52 PM): Not right after merge
Coach Wade (3:41:59 PM): Still worth knowing though
Coach Wade (3:42:19 PM): Kourtney will be hell bent on removing me and Mary
Coach Wade (3:42:21 PM): That's her mission
Coach Wade (3:42:28 PM): It should split the votes
Coach Wade (3:43:26 PM): I think we need to stick with a vote on Kelly. Mary has her bootlist and likely won't be on in time to change it anyway
Coach Wade (3:43:42 PM): We have 4 guaranteed votes and a potential fifth depending on what Judd decides to do
Eliza Orlins (3:43:46 PM): Kelly's next on Mary's list?
Coach Wade (3:43:50 PM): She's at the top
Coach Wade (3:43:51 PM): Yeah
Coach Wade (3:44:01 PM): It's Kelly then Kourtney
Coach Wade (3:44:58 PM): I just can't see Kelly voting with us. From what I'm hearing she's fully on board with Kourtney's plan
Eliza Orlins (3:45:21 PM): The plan of voting out Mary?
Coach Wade (3:45:27 PM): I think so
Coach Wade (3:45:42 PM): I just don't think Kourtney can get enough numbers to have four votes
Coach Wade (3:45:50 PM): And even if she does, it'll only tie
Coach Wade (3:45:56 PM): It all rests on Judd really
Coach Wade (3:46:00 PM): he hasn't been on to read my message
Coach Wade (3:46:07 PM): But he doesn't like Kelly so I'd figure he'd be on board with this
Eliza Orlins (3:46:09 PM): You think you can trust Judd?
Coach Wade (3:46:16 PM): I can trust him on this one vote
Coach Wade (3:46:23 PM): Down the line? No
Coach Wade (3:46:35 PM): If it's against somebody who isn't his ally he won't care
Coach Wade (3:46:44 PM): And he'll think it'll gain my trust in the process
Coach Wade (3:46:51 PM): Which he'll think he can use
Eliza Orlins (3:48:57 PM): Hmm
Eliza Orlins (3:49:04 PM): I hope he doesn't open his mouth
Coach Wade (3:49:31 PM): He doesn't know who else is involved in the vote though he can probably guess when the votes come out
Coach Wade (3:49:38 PM): I just threw my name out there
Coach Wade (3:50:02 PM): And I said I was trying to persuade others
Coach Wade (3:50:42 PM): I think of all the people to ask, Judd is the most likely to make this vote because he thinks he's building up trust with me

Coach was trying to get Kelly out of this game before she was definitely playing both sides. She had alliances with both the Old Desterrados tribemates and Kourtney, which means she's officialy dead to Coach. I never wanted to vote her out because she was definitely in with my plan to showing the world I was not a puppet and I was never going to be a puppet, but I had to lie straight to his face about it because he would think I was dead in his book too.

So, when it came to the actual vote, Judd left, thank god, but it was almost me, which is horrible and amazing all at once. First off, I completely hated because I don't like getting voted just because that already puts a little bit of a target on my back, but then I realized it was perfect, because I could use that as an excuse for not voting with his plan of taking out Kelly.

I could say to him that I only voted for Judd because I knew people were gunning for me because they think Coach has the idol and would obviously use it on Mary because she's like his showmance or something like that and the only way out of going to Ponderosa was voting along with Kelly, Kourtney and Bob Dawg. I was really hoping that he would buy that, but then he immediately talked with me.

Coach Wade (12:51:33 AM): I'm disappointed but I understand. You won't get a lot further with Kelly and Kourtney than you would've with me and Mary though
Coach Wade (12:51:35 AM): Just so you know
Eliza Orlins (12:52:09 AM): I'm sorry and I'm glad you understand
Eliza Orlins (12:52:12 AM): And we'll see about that
Coach Wade (12:52:34 AM): It's survivor. You thought outside the box and that's always commendable
coach.wade signed on at 12:53:17 AM
Eliza Orlins (12:55:09 AM): Everyone thought I was your minion
Eliza Orlins (12:55:14 AM): Like, everyone
Coach Wade (12:55:26 AM): I haven't tried spreading that at all
Coach Wade (12:55:33 AM): I've always maintained decisions were mutual
Eliza Orlins (12:55:37 AM): I know, Coach
Eliza Orlins (12:55:45 AM): It's just because some people assumed that
Coach Wade (12:55:50 AM): Yeah
Coach Wade (12:55:52 AM): You felt exposed
Coach Wade (12:55:55 AM): And you nearly got voted off
Coach Wade (12:56:02 AM): I hadn't been around to talk much this round
Coach Wade (12:56:07 AM): I'm very glad I won immunity
Eliza Orlins (12:56:33 AM): Because you do take a leadership role and people just assume everyone else are your minions
Eliza Orlins (12:56:40 AM): Perception is not always the truth
Coach Wade (12:56:44 AM): I like to be outspoken
Coach Wade (12:56:56 AM): But people apparently realize I'm the one who merely "thinks he's in control"
Coach Wade (12:56:59 AM): The funny thing is
Coach Wade (12:57:04 AM): I voted myself in that category
Eliza Orlins (1:06:17 AM): Really?
Coach Wade (1:06:25 AM): Yeah
Coach Wade (1:12:22 AM): This isn't going to be so clear cut from here on out
Eliza Orlins (1:12:28 AM): What?
Eliza Orlins (1:12:30 AM): The game?
Coach Wade (1:12:33 AM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (1:12:39 AM): Yes
Eliza Orlins (1:12:49 AM): This Tribal really set the mood for the rest of the game
Coach Wade (1:13:13 AM): The tribal set up two sides who will be seemingly at war, but I personally suspect that each side will see a decrease in numbers each round
Coach Wade (1:13:24 AM): Until there are only two left from each side or so
Eliza Orlins (1:13:42 AM): I think there's more than two sides
Coach Wade (1:14:31 AM): I don't deny that
Eliza Orlins (1:14:56 AM): Three people received votes tonight
Eliza Orlins (1:15:12 AM): Unless two sides get together, a lot of stuff can happen
Eliza Orlins (1:15:29 AM): But nothing is so clear cut like it was before
Coach Wade (1:16:21 AM): That's true

He seemed very bitter and hurt about what I just did, so I thought that our little thing was officialy done, which sucks because I really wanted to work more with him just because he protects me with his neon-lighted target. I guess I have to make sure I stay in this game in another way, but I still need to figure out what the hell I need to do.
