I know I usually split up confessionals by days, but this time around, I will do just that, but split it up by days in here.

So, I have a lot of catching up to do. Let's get started, shall we?

-------------------------------------
~Days 1-3~

Hey guys! So if you didn't know it yet, yes, this is JVJ. This season the strategy is to not let ANYONE--and I mean ANYONE--on to who I am. Well, the only person who found out was K.O., but I knew I could trust her with the info, because K.O.=Kim of last season.

This includes the following:
-Even if I think someone is Jake, don't tell them who I am.
-Act stupid. Post in all lower-case letters in some scenarios (I kinda messed this up in PMs where I try to sound smart to get people on my side. )
-Actually use spaces after all my sentences. Something I realized I never used to do for whatever reason...?

This season the cast was much smaller than seasons' past, but also a lot more diverse in the terms of the shows we're coming from, so I like that! Hopefully the Jury this season will not be the trainwreck it was in Season 7.

Because this season had 13 castaways, we started the game with a twist courtesy of new host Rony Curvelo (you're welcome for the av ). We would start off with a Plate Smash, and the winner of the Plate Smash would get some sort of prize. I kinda guessed prematurely that it would be the ability to divide the tribes as we please and eliminate someone automatically, and lo and behold I was right later on! But on to that later....

Patti started off by smashing K.O. (my friend, this made me a little upset. ) I started by smashing Merlin, because he hadn't been around.

Time went by. K.O. was first taken out, followed quickly by the faboulous Merlin.

Next out were Keith & Jen.

Next was Mark, who I had taken two plates from and was pretty much the main factor in going out of the challenge.

Then was Celia, and then Brendan. It had come down to the very active people, and we all had 3 plates.

I took Brendan's last plate to not make any bad blood but be in a good position because other people would start smashing each other while I layed low.

Luke was out next, and Susie made bad blood with Patti by taking one of her plates before Luke was eliminated.

I took Luke's plate, and Susie was eliminated. (Susie said Poh reminded her of Elizabeth, and in attempt to make myself seem unfamiliar with the game, I said "from Survivor?" even though I knew exactly who she was talking about. )

Tori had one plate left, but I smashed one of Poh's in order to gain the advantage. I also said that I would be going to work later (which was true) so they would know I wouldn't be around and less likely to take me out than to take out the other person.

Well....it worked! Tori smashed one of mine then one of Poh's plates, and Poh took Tori out.

I came back home and took Poh out, and won!

This decision was a big one. I could make the tribes as even as possible, or I could put myself on a tribe with a huge advantage.

Merlin offered me an alliance some time during the Plate Smash, and I agreed to it. Since I had smashed his plate first, no one would suspect that we were together.

I also had the opportunity to take out an active person like Poh, Patti, Susie, or Luke immediately--but doing that this early over an inactive could make me seem too threatening and too much of a game player way too early on.

I decided to eliminate Mark--I had been responsible for smashing most of his plates so he might hold it against me, he was not the most active, and he wasn't the least active. All beneficial reasons for me.

I put myself on the most active tribe possible: Me, Poh, Patti, Susie, Merlin, and Tori. (I would have swapped out Merlin for Luke had me and Merlin not made an alliance earlier on). I put K.O. (my friend, but not very active this time around), Jen Johnson, Luke, Keith, Celia, and Brendan on the other tribe. Should be an easy enough tribe to beat.

Also, if we happen to lose a challenge, I'm already close with half the people on my tribe (PXP) and I am not the least active. In addition, I may be able to boot Poh (clearly already my biggest threat) early on if I have to.

I set this tribe up to win the Immunity Challenges and hopefully easily dominate the other tribe! So, we'll see how things work out.

*Looks above at all I wrote.*

-Whew-.

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 4-6~

Well, K.O. has accidentally deleted her account and was hesitant to come back due to a lack of time in real life. Poh suggested Mark come back and replace her, and this immediately rubbed me the wrong way. Suggesting someone to come back that I had personally eliminated all by myself? That could hinder my game so much down the line! I insisted against it, hunted K.O. down, and persuaded her to make her account again. Besides, I know her potential, and she could easily become the most active member of that tribe and stay safe every time.

I made no alliances this round, as I didn't want things to happen prematurely. We didn't lose a challenge, and the challenge being an obstacle course/post relay, I felt very confident we could win by a landslide, so there was no need to make any big moves yet.

We did win, and we sent the other tribe to Tribal Council, where Jen Johnson was voted out of the game.

Damn whoever played her for giving my fave BB8 goddess a horrible placing! Just like whoever played as Alex (BB9) in Season 4!

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 7-9~

This time around, I made an alliance with Susie. I thought we could work well together, and she had already made bad blood with Patti by hitting her plates in the Plate Smash, so I was more likable than her. Turns out, Susie would choose to undergo random periods of inactivity in the future and this was a horrible decision, but whatever.

Realizing Susie had gone M.I.A., I made an alliance with Patti...which was quickly followed by an alliance with Tori. I then realized I was aligned with everyone on the tribe BUT Poh, which was a major problem. However, I also knew that Poh was the one person I couldn't align with. Again, great active person (and I wouldn't be surprised to learn she was Jake, I already have my suspicions that she is), but she is my biggest competiton. I will need an excuse to boot her later on and don't want to be tied to her, especially by an alliance.

We played in a fishing game and once again easily dominated, but this time by a smaller margin than I had hoped. Results were actually somewhat close.

The other tribe lost and voted out K.O. at Tribal Council. I didn't understand this--she did better than both Brendan and WAY better than Celia in the Immunity Challenge, and at this point they are clearly the weaker tribe and need the strongest people they can get to win some challenges. Oh well, to each their own, and their loss. Bye K.O.

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 10-12~

Camp life this round was interesting. Everyone was trying to extend our already-made alliances out to more people, and there were some situations I just couldn't have. Patti in particular wanted to work with Poh but I explained my worries about this, saying that Poh seemed like a very sneaky strategic player. Tori suggested making a four-person alliance with Poh and Patti, and I said Poh was fine, but I had not really talked with Poh and suggested Merlin (my top ally at this point) instead. Tori was fine with that and that's what we did! Tori however, informed me, that Patti said she already had an alliance with Poh--I figured this by the way Patti talked about her, but she never told me, which is a problem. I informed Merlin I got him in on the alliance to get on his good side, and also told him about the Poh/Patti alliance, and that we should be careful which information we share with Patti. Love the girl, but she's close with Poh, who I also love, but she's too big a threat. See the irony here?

We moved on to yet another challenge. It was a Tug-of-War, and it was way too close for comfort.

There were times during this challenge where I honestly though we would lose, which scared me considering our tribe is one hundred times better than the other one.

But...we didn't lose!

Meaning, we won.

And, the other tribe went to Tribal Council yet again, where they voted out....Brendan!?

What is going on in the minds of these people? I bet there is an alliance, and I know from past games that Celia is somewhat good socially (but not great strategically except getting herself in alliances with good people), but Brendan had consistently done better than her in the challenges, and they voted out yet another asset to their tribe. Oh well, better for us, I guess.

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 13-15~

We arrived at Challenge Beach this round to learn that we would be...switching tribes!? No, the horror. My amazing tribe that I set up would be diminished.

We had to pretty much stand on a tile and with luck get put on to whatever tribe we got put on to.

I tried to put myself in scenarios (first 6 would be PXP, even/odd numbers would be this tribe) to get myself put into a tribe with majority PXP people. But, really, there was no rhyme or reason to the tribal sorting, and the new tribes were these:

PXP--Myself, Celia, Keith, Merlin, and Tori.
Other tribe--Susie, Patti, Poh, Luke.

I knew I was safe at least for the time being on the tribe I was on, so I was fine. I immediately sent out PMs to Keith and Celia to get on their good side and make them trust me--I told Keith how happy I was to have the most active and strongest member of their former tribe (which I think was true after the Tug-Of-War) working with us, and Celia expressed gratitude in talking to her. She asked if I had played other seasons, and I had to lie and say I did but I was voted out earlier on, and I acted in awe of her being in All-Stars.

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 16-18~

We went to our next challenge as new tribes and learned that it would be....some version of the game Snake.

Myself, Merlin, Tori, and Keith were the ones that played for our tribe. The results were in, and myself and Merlin had gotten amazing scores.

PXP won again and continued it's domination! Cayo Part 3 (Part 2 was last season ) if you will. I clearly put together an amazing tribe that continued to do amazing even after a tribe swap.

The other tribe went to Tribal Council, and I foresaw the possiibility of Susie & Luke voting together since Patti hates Susie so much.

Patti got one vote, and Luke got three. Luke revealed he self-voted by accident, meaning that SUSIE was the one who voted for Patti! And it was exposed.

Luke didn't deserve to go--Poh and Susie didn't do the challenge, while he did. But, he was in the minority, and due to a self-vote he had to go. He is, however, the first member of the Jury. By actually saying goodbye to him, I hope I got on his good side.


(Forgot to mention, Celia proposed an alliance to me this round, but I decided to ignore it for the time being knowing that if we lost the challenge I would be voting her out.)

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 19-21~

We came to Challenge Beach on Day 20 to learn that we were merging into one tribe, although we had already been living on the same beach as the two newly formed tribes. Did I forget to mention that before? Whoops.

Anyways, so yeah, from here on out it was an individual game. It was going to start getting ugly. Probably mostly due to me and the desire to win. What can ya do?

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 22-24~

So, for starters, this round I accepted the alliance with Celia. Now that it was an individual game, I needed all the help I could get and needed to be in good with as many people as possible. Am I actually going to be able to keep this alliance to her later on down the line? To be honest, I don't think I will be. BUT...we never specified when the alliance was to, and if it gets down to me and her and a bunch of my other alliances, I might just have to cut her loose. But, at least I think she'll get farther than seventh place curse this time. And besides, how many times does turning down an alliance offer or ignoring it work in your favor? *No answer* Thought so.

Tori PM'd me all excited to make the merge, and Patti hadn't PMd me. I've been finding that Patti only PMs me in times of straetgy, where I talk with most other people regularly.

Poh PM'd me saying that our original PXP tribe should stick together til Final 6, then boot Merlin and have all the girls as Final 5. Then, she wanted to take out Susie, who was inactive, and have the Final 4 of myself, Tori, Poh, and Patti. In a perfect world, this would be the best Final 4, since we all have been very active throughout this game! But, it's not a perfect world, and that's not a perfect Final 4. Poh and Patti are aligned, and I do think Patti is closer with her than me, so it won't work.

Susie PM'd me wanting to work together, possible in an alliance with Poh and Patti, and I started to plant seeds of doubt in people's mind. I told her how Poh and Patti weren't her biggest fans. I also suggested we band together with Merlin and the two minority tribe members (Celia & Keith) since they would be desperate and take whatever they could get. Susie agreed and wanted to make a Final 2 alliance, but I avoided the question and went around it.

I told Merlin the plan and he was down for it...as we all well know, Merlin ain't playing for 5th.

Keith & Celia agreed almost immediately, as they knew their asses were obviously on the chopping block regardless.

I told Poh it sounded like an ideal plan, but that we should wait to see peoples' true colors after this Immunity Challenge.

The Immunity Challenge was a coconut throw! 25 coconuts, give them to people. Greeeaaaat. But, you also had arrows to shoot some away!

I gave 7 to Poh, 6 to Tori, 6 to Patti, and some others to others. I figured others would give to the people who are close to being voted out, so I wouldn't have to worry about that and I gave to my biggest threats in the challenge.

Unfortunately, I also chose to make a fake PM showing me giving 10 coconuts to Celia, 10 to Keith, and 5 to Merlin. This was to protect myself in the event people saw the coconuts I gave out and demanded screen caps...I wanted one that looked legit and real and it was fine. I stated it was a fake one at the bottom of the PM, but host with the most didn't see it and unfortunately stuck with that PM. Thus ruining my plan for this round. Karma is a bitch, and it bit me for trying to cover a lie.

In the end, Poh won (of course ) with 5 coconuts and taking 5 coconuts away. I only had 2 coconuts, but tried to take 7, thus staying with 2 and losing. Had Poh had the 7 I had given her, we would have tied for first, and who knows what would have happened?

This threw things into major chaos. No one knew what to do, and people (especially Keith) were getting paranoid. I promised him I would not vote for him this round no matter what (which was true), but I knew that Poh, Tori, and Patti would already be voting him out. If worse came to worse I would vote Celia, but I don't want to vote anyone but Poh (my biggest threat and the only other one really taking leader initiative to make big moves in this game) out of the game.

Susie came to me suggesting Tori, and I pretty much threw that away. I love Tori, and at this point I feel closer to her than Patti, who I do think is close to Poh. So, I felt like a giant douche of a person, but I suggested Patti as the vote instead. Merlin and Susie agreed, and it was quickly agreed upon by Keith and Celia, so the plan was set in motion. And I really hate this plan, but I need to have the numbers to take Poh out next round when she [hopefully] doesn't win immunity.

I feel horrible and Patti had PM'd me, but i'm not opening it until later tomorrow, when I will tell her the truth of how i'm voting, but too late for her to turn it around on me. I've seen where being honest about how you're voting gets you past votes before in this series. Specifically All-Stars early on.

Anyways, Patti is pretty much gone this round unless i'm being blindsided which I am 99.9% sure I'm not. I told Poh I don't know if i'm voting with her yet because I am attempting to lie as little as possible from here on out, but I can't tell her my plans obviously. I just said there are 2 sides and i'm confused on which to take right now. I feel so bad for this girl! She was like "Well don't be mysterious, just tell me so we can work together...." and I hate doing this! She is absolutely a great person and has done nothing wrong to me except prove to me she is my biggest competition and strategically should be the only one that stands a shot at winning this game against me in the end, and for that, I need her out of here.

Geez people are going to think i'm the nastiest person after this. I know i'm not playing as I normally would, but I got myself into this situation and yeah, now I need to roll with it. Point blank, period.


------------------------------------------
EDIT: The next day.

Patti PMs me warning me that Poh is targetting Merlin and wonders what to do about it...

Merlin PMs me asking why we're voting out Patti when we have a Final 4 deal with her and Tori. I don't remember ever making a deal to go to Final 4, but we did make a four-person alliance, so essentially that's what this is.

Even though Patti was aligned with Poh, by telling me she is targetting Merlin it shows she is loyal to us. And now I feel like shit. I thought she was Poh's greatest ally and by taking her out we'd still have the numbers to take out Poh next round.

Now Merlin is expressing concern about voting her out, while everyone else (Susie/Keith/Celia) confirmed they're voting out Patti.

At this point, it would be too late to change our votes without risk of Keith going, which I don't want to happen either.

I wouldn't mind changing my vote to Celia just because I do feel like her and Susie have done the least in this game. But, I mean, ugh this situation just sucks, and right now it's kind of like screwing Keith or Patti over in either scenario, unless I can get myself/Merlin/Patti/Keith to change our votes to Celia in time.
---------------------------
EDIT: Myself, Merlin, and Patti decided to vote for Celia.

Turns out since we had a "final 4" alliance, Merlin wanted to keep Patti safe and voted Keith! Even though i'm pretty sure the whole time he was fine with voting Patti, whatever.

So me, Patti, and Merlin are now voting Celia. I PM'd Tori and Keith to do the same, and I told Keith it is to protect him since people changed their votes ,which was true.

Poh supposedly changed her vote to Merlin? But we'll see on that one.

This is getting so confusing! I love Celia as a person and once again feel like crap voting for her when I just made an "alliance" with her, but between her and Keith I feel more loyalty to protect Keith.

Susie is going to be voting for Patti still but I let her know what I was doing so as not to be decieving.

Merlin now wants a Final 5 of myself, him, Patti, Tori, and Keith, and everyone wants to be aligned with me.

Merlin has always had a hint of controlling(ness) in him and I can see he wants to make the power moves this late into the game. After Poh, he is probably my next biggest competition. I have to keep a close eye on him.
----------------
YET ANOTHER EDIT:

So i've really been thinking about how the votes will go down, and when I thought deeper into it, i'm assuming no one else will get on to change their vote within the next 55 minutes.

Myself, Merlin, & Patti--Voted Celia.
Keith, Celia, Susie(didn't want to change her vote)--Voted Patti.
Poh--Voted either Keith or Merlin?
Tori--Voted Celia, Keith, or Merlin? (I'm confused, I sent her a PM on how I was voting but she didn't reply back.)

So if I think into it it's actually looking like Keith is safe no matter what and it's between Celia & Patti.

Honestly, I think I have Keith with me more than the other two at this point, so I like that. Celia is easy to "control" in that you tell her how you're voting and she'll go with it, but she deserves to be here less than Keith.

Patti, on the other hand, if she went it could be beneficial to me in the long-run in that the "final 4 alliance" would be knocked down a peg, and after this round there is potential that she doesn't trust me.

We'll see how things go @ 5:00 I guess. So confusing...

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 25-27~

So, interesting INTERESTING round.

The game is really picking up.

First, we had a challenge...which was jumping up and down on a trampoline. LMAO. I missed it because I didn't see it, but oh well. I'll just be pissed if I go this round and had no shot at winning that challenge cuz I didn't play it (due to my own fault, but you know what I mean)... but more on that later.

Patti won Immunity, I was happy for her after the whole fiasco last round.

Until I found out...this bitch is telling people to vote for me!

I've done enough of these games [and done well enough in enough of these games] that I know when people are voting for you.

She PM'd me earlier in the round saying we're voting Poh, right? (Because she didn't want a whole controversy like last round). I said yes, and I PM'd everyone else the same thing to be honest with everyone because--let's be for real--i'm aligned with pretty much everyone but Poh at this point in the game. Which is why I need her out.

Well, Merlin never PMs me back. Patti never PMs me back. Poh doesn't PM me, period. When people don't respond to your messages right before a Tribal Council, it means they're voting for you. That is old and tired strategy and if you're going to vote me, at least lie.[/u] Merlin never even responded when I told him about how we were best allies and he was my original ally (the truth) and he didn't even care to respond to that....which mean's something is up!

I figured Poh, Merlin, and Patti will be voting for me.

I solidified my bond with Susie (she really likes me), and Susie agreed to vote Poh. So did Keith.

And guess what!? I talked to Tori about how we have been allies since Day 1 and I will always have her back (to get her back on my side after the whole scenario last round) and I told her I think people are voting for me and I really needed her this round, and she said with a smile that she'd vote out Poh! I love this girl!

She and Susie also confirmed Patti is trying to rally votes to get me out.

So, it looks like me connecting with people these past few rounds will actually help me out in the long run. Here are some of the PMs I got back from people:

From Tori:

------
From me :Oh my gosh! Thanks, Tori!

I know you're friends with her but I heard that's what everyone was doing.

Now, though, I have this wierd feeling Patti/Merlin/Poh might be voting for me, so you literally might be my savior right now.

Thanks girl!


----------------

From Tori:

Yeah i think so too. i asked Merlin if he was gona vote for Poh and he didnt really answer my question. Patti thinks some people betrayed her last week.

From Susie:

Uh oh.

Patti just told me that she thinks you are controlling everyone and that you need to go this week she said she was never actually with poh. She asked for my vote and said that would be the majority, I said that I would. However I am not going against you, I am voting Poh with you in hopes that we get Merlins vote, hes the swing.

Please don't tell patti I told you this, she said that she would be super upset lol.

3 minutes after I got the PM from Susie about Patti getting votes to get me out, and I had already sent Patti a PM confronting her saying "you're voting for me, aren't you?"

From Patti:

I'll be honest, the thought crossed my mind.

I'll also be honest I was pretty pissed to learn that you told everyone to vote for me just because you suspected that I MIGHT be with Poh. You never even asked me, you just assumed and were ready to kick me out because of it. Only because you changed your mind did I stay. And I do appreciate that, that's why I don't think I can bring myself to go through with voting for you. Besides I think everyone loves you and would never vote against you anyway.

I'm just being 100% honest with you.

Alright, Patti. So either you are lying to Susie or lying to me, and trying to turn me and Susie on one another.

Earlier in the round she was asking Susie if she was close to me (a sure sign of seeing if Susie would vote me out with them, another reason I knew all this), and it was all for a vote.

And you know what, if she is honest and doesn't go through with voting for me thinking she either has the votes or made a mistake in doing so originally, well it's going to bite her, because she tried to get people against me and that's a mistake at any point if I stay, because she'd be with Merlin rather than me later down the line...I'm not stupid. So, yeah, I did almost get her out last round, but I changed things around to keep her. And if she does the same for me this round, it sucks to say, but her loss, because I won't forgive her like she may have forgiven me. I am proactive once someone tries to get me out, and I won't back down! I will have a new Final 4 alliance of:

Me, Tori, Keith, & Susie. Who would have saw it coming, right?

I can't wait for the vote to be 4-3 and me to STAY and get back at this nasty politician for this! Just like her raggedy-ass hair husband!

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 28-30~

So while I have done a good job keeping my identity secret, others are being exposed.

I was thinking this whole time that Susie could possibly be Chad, and then Megan's post of "Jake throwing her under the bus" confirmed it:

I got bored...

Everyone like my sig, even if Jake diddn't

[/u] kill Megan with his bus, it was just easiest to put the bubbles by her head to get rid of clutter. [/quote]

"Didn't" happens to be spelled the same way that Susie always spells it.

Then, Celia confirmed my fears when she told me Susie was Ami from All-Stars.

Like I said in my Jury Questioning as Hoopz, mine and Susie's relationship is up and down! One game we're aligned, the next we're enemies. One game she's conniving to get me out, the next we're helping each other tremendously.

I am happy that this time we're working together (I mean, he doesn't know I am who I am, which probably helps, but regardless), we're closing that gap of "bitter enemies" back to a somewhat alliance/friendship, which is surprising in some ways. However, I know that in the end, if he feels I have been too controlling over the course of the game and made many of the moves--which, let's face it, I have--he will attempt to divise a plan to get rid of me. He hasn't had his time to shine in this series yet, and by shine, I mean a win. He'll do anything to get it.

For now, I think I'll stick with him. But I need to keep a close watch on him.

After last round with Patti, we were thinking a Final 4 of myself, Susie, Tori, and Keith, but now i'm starting to think otherwise. That Final 4 could be dangerous for me.

However, if I vote someone like Patti this round, and then vote someone like Susie next round, things could get even worse. Where to go from there? By the time I get to Final 2, everyone in this damn game is gunna hate my ass. True story. LOL

Anyways, here is a PM I got from Patti this round:

Just so you know, I didn't vote for you.
I am having the host fix it because I did not self vote either, I voted for Poh.

I trust you, and I don't want to ruin anything. I was mad that you thought I was with Poh and was thinking about it. I could have lied to you and said I wasn't, but I want to always be honest with you.

I realize you probably want me out now, but that's what I wanted to say.

I sent this back:

I don't own the game--if i did want you out it wouldn't guarantee it, girl. lol

but i just don't get this statement:

"I was mad that you thought I was with Poh and was thinking about it. I could have lied to you and said I wasn't, but I want to always be honest with you."

but you did tell me that you weren't with poh? is this your way of trying to say that you were?

If she really was with Poh, I was already thinking I would vote for her this round, but she might have solidified my vote in that direction. HOWEVER...if I do do that, Susie will be happy to her heart's desire to have her biggest enemy (Patti) out of this game. Who knows if she'll go for me after that because i'm her biggest threat!? You know?

Also, I am starting to have my suspiciouns confirmed that Jake is playing this game. He is either:
A) Patti
or
B) was Poh.

And, as i've thought for some time, I do think there is a possibility that Splatt is Merlin. But who knows?

I just can't see Patti being Jake because originally it was an attempt to play as Christian Siriano and Jake would have known that he was already played as by Splatt.

I don't want to get screwed this close to the end [once again! See: Season 4, 5, in a way 6, and 8] after doing so much and pretty much controlling the game in many ways! Urgh.

-------------
EDIT:

First off, I want to apologize for the "evil" comments I did last round. Patti pretty much was honest about what she did the round before and admitted to everything....she was really truthful about it, but at this point in time, it was just too late for me to make another move other than voting her out. Not only was it beneficial to my game, but I won immunity and it's pretty much what others had already been set on based on my comments the previous round.

I was upfront with Merlin about it and told him what I was doing, and he said he didn't know if he could vote for her, which I understood completely. However, come to find out later, apparently Susie is telling Merlin the vote is for him? And really, this is for no apparent reason...there's NO reason whatsoever to be telling him that when it's not for him?

Anyways, Patti went, in a vote of 4-2. The other votes were for Keith.

She was kinda mad at me and took one last hit at me as Poh did on her way out. These people really want everyone else to get me out of the game!

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

~Days 31-33~

To start off this round, everyone was "set" on voting out Merlin. I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to do this, but I pretty much played along with the idea.

Then, we had the challenge, which was bouncing a ball up and down.

Gay jokes and masturbation jokes aside from the two boys, Merlin and Keith, I had a very good feeling that Merlin was going to win this challenge.

And in the end....I was right! Merlin won with an amazing score as he and Keith had figured out the "secret" to the challenge, and he beat Keith out by one point. (not beat off, beat out )

Susie came to me and said "we're voting Merlin, right?" This was a first warning sign cuz I know she's not that stupid, and Merlin won immunity.

Then, we were talking back and forth. I told Tori for me the vote was between Keith & Susie because I'll always have her back and will never vote her out. This is true, by the way, unless it's like do-or-die which after this round it wouldn't be. Tori is the person I want with me in the Final 2. Yeah, she might be friendly, but she hasn't made any power moves in the game. She's been a bit of a follower, she isn't too active, has missed challenges, and is the only other person that can have been said to have "jumped" on the final 4 alliance of me/Patti/Merlin/her with me. Keith will win because he was the underdog, and Merlin might win because he is well-liked, but that could depend.

Well, Tori came to me and, as I figured she would around this time (see: my past confessionals), Susie is trying to blindside me and get me out of the game. And...the PM I was shown by Tori when I asked for proof was all the way from August 2nd, meaning she really took Poh's words to heart and has been trying to blindside me from way back before Patti was even officially voted out! She said that if I don't win immunity the next round, she can "get me to vote for Merlin and [they] can take me out." Does she really think i'm stupid and I don't have connections with others? Now, granted, she doesn't know I am who I am, but don't you remember Season 7 in Sri Lanka when she tried to do almost this exact same thing to me except a round earlier? It didn't work then and [HOPEFULLY] it won't work now.

Once I found out, I was down with voting out Susie with Tori. I went to Keith for his vote, told him the scenario and asked if she was trying to blindside me, and then said he would vote her out with me and confirmed that she was.

I talked with Merlin earlier in the round and he said he was getting approached by people asking how to vote but no one throwing out names--when I asked him how he was voting, he said he had to wait and see who would make deals with him to get him farther, because he didn't know where alliances stood. When I PM'd him to tell him how I was voting and why, he didn't PM me back, so I assumed Susie offered him a deal and he probably is voting with her for me.

Then, Susie came clean to me and said "so, you're trying to blindside me? I guess it's karma (or something like that, I can't remember the exact words), because I was trying to do the same to you."

This concerns me because either when I said to her "I hope you're not trying to blindside me...." she figured it out, or someone told her and they might still be working with her.

I'm thinking that there is a possibility that Keith told her this, but i'm hoping not. I know for a fact that Tori is voting with me, so I need Keith's vote to solidify me staying and Susie going.

I am setting myself up great. I know exactly who I want in the Final 2, and I can't reveal all my plans now, but I have a good idea of where people stand. Tori & Keith are closer, and I have an idea which way Merlin will swing. (No pun intended). I think if I can stay in this round and carry out my plan in the next round, i'm golden!

EDIT:

They got me. I had a feeling it was coming when Merlin didn't respond to my PM and then Tori didn't respond an hour before votes were due.

The one person I am honestly shocked at lying to me is Tori, but other than that no surprised. I'm glad to see Keith is thankful I saved his ass way back at Final 8 ....and Final 7!

I don't exactly remember the times of the PMs for this round, I actually never avoided answering your PMs. I was at work for a good portion of this time, though, and probably slept the other portion. I PMed you that the other three were voting for you when I was next on after they all confirmed it with me.

"When people don't respond to your messages right before a Tribal Council, it means they're voting for you. That is old and tired strategy and if you're going to vote me, at least lie."


wtf? You did that to me for a good proportion of the game.




Anyway Kristy.......I really wish that you just stopped your bloodbath on me form the start and just aligned with me......I honestly would've never voted you out.


If you had just stayed true to me and Patti and not have been so paranoid, I think it's highly likely that we would've made f4. This is because by having 3 power players together, there's less of a target on you. Going to the final 4 with 3 other coattailers (prima facia for some of them obviously) means that you were in danger. I understand that you wanted to go with the people you wanted to beat....but that strategy was flawed.



And anyway karma really hit you good. By doing everything you did to me, in the end people did that to you, mainly Keith and Tori. So there

oh and I really, really wasn't Jake. I've never played this series before. Honest to god!!

[~KrIsTy MoRgAn~]

LOL I know Merlin. That confessional was before you sent me the PM..

And Poh, I only voted you once, I always messaged you about the vote, I was just waiting to message you later in that round so you didn't have the opportunity to gather votes for someone else.

And thanks for telling me how to play the game even though i've won a countless number of them. LOL
