Episode 08

10th place :') All I have to do is survive one more tribal council (where I'm not immune that is) and I've reached my goal! Honestly, in a perfect world, ideally the next three people I'd like to see gone are Ami, Chad, and Chris because I don't trust them at all. I guess you could lump Lisa in there too but she's pretty worthless. I've made the merge though and I'm happy. And if I can challenge whore my way to the end I will certainly do so. I think I have what it takes.

What do you think your odds are of making the endgame with the current alliance setup in the tribe? Who would you want to see be there with you?

*fistbump*

That is all.

What do you think your odds are of making the endgame with the current alliance setup in the tribe? Who would you want to see be there with you?

Right now, I'm almost positive the current plan is to make it seem "nuChoro to the end" and pick off Jolanda, Ibrehem, and Gregg, but in all reality, I'm sensing that it's gonna be "original Choro" to the end. Ideally, I think I'd want Bobby Jon in the final 2 with me since I think he's the only one I think I'd beat for sure. Oh, and Gregg too. Still not quite sure whether it'll be a F3 or F2 but since Caryn was a jury member I'm assuming F3. So yeah, ideally my F3 would be myself, Gregg, and BJ.

The plan tonight is to split the vote between Ami and Chad and normally I'd be a little iffy and paranoid to make a move like that but since I have immunity I don't really mind. No matter what, if it fails it's not gonna blow up in my face, and least not instantly. The thing is, in order for that plan to work, Mia and Chris need to be on our side 100% and I'm not really sure if that's the case. The thing is, I don't trust Chris at all and I know for a fact he isn't the biggest fan of me, and Mia's nice and seems to be on my side but I doubt her apathy of Ami. She claims to hate her but they always act buddy-buddy around each other and it's giving me the hardest time.

I regret voting out Caryn now. We got rid of a lot of our power by doing the right thing and getting rid of the least active persona and now it could just bite us all in the ass. Hopefully I just win every challenge though so I don't have to worry ever <3

Gregg sent me this:

"I know this probably comes out of the blue but I was starting to think of everything and I just realized that the best chance either of us have to is against each other . Like just looking at jury votes I doubt Caryn would ever vote for me and besides Chad I have never been on the same tribe as any of the Guatuso so I don't think they would be inclined to vote for me as well. Then I think about the way Poody attacked you last tc and I am guessing people prolly think of you as utr or low key or whatever so your jury stock might not be the highest either. I know the end is far away and people shouldn't get ahead of themselves but I would hate if I make it to f6-f5 and I am locked in with people I don't think I could compete against in the end. There is no gurantee we will get to the end but right now I would like to make a pledge to you of my ultimatele loyalty and make you my number 1 ally who I want to go to f2 with and never vote off."

I'm totally down. Me and Gregg are F2

Does this mean you have finally found that connection you felt you were missing, or is this purely a marriage of convenience?

Also, speaking of you/Jeff at tribal, and your subsequent win - do you think it was justified or necessary? Would you say you needed a kick on the tush and did it affect your subsequent performance & outlook?

Also, is Jeff a good Jeff?

I do believe I found a connection with Gregg now. This is the first time in the game where I've felt absolutely solid with someone, and we're looking out for each other's best interest. So far, all my bonds have really been "team mentality" things and strategy talk never really extends anywhere past Final 6 and with Gregg I just finally feel like someone is talking my language. Like, I hate to channel Courtney Yates, but seriously everyone in this game is like, "OMG everything is so great. Isn't it great Kim?" Gregg offered me a realist view of things and I like it.

In terms of Jeff, I mean, I know that Stranded casts a lot of newer players who are probably more eager and more enthusiastic and more proactive than I am. And when I was starting out, I was like that too. But a really headstrong, aggressive game just isn't what works for me. I do think my challenge win last night did win me some respect with some people though, including Jeff. Just because I haven't really been strong strategically here and don't really show a lot of personality doesn't mean that I'm not a good player.
