Unsurprisingly, Reese was voted off. I was sad to see Reese go. He really wanted to play and he got the short end of the stick thanks the Julian/Starr protecting the useless Bree. I think he really deserved an opportunity to play, and he would have been on Mark and my side, since we were the only ones being nice to him it seemed. I think Dion wanted Reese to stay after speaking to him but after taking heat the last two voting rounds, I think she wanted to play it less aggressive and go with the flow/majority.
I'm beginning to feel a little paranoid with Gabe. I think I probably shouldn't feel this way, but after spilling my guts to him about the alliance going on and trying to solidify his trust, he really has been quiet with me. I figured we would have much more to talk about now that we're completely open with one another, but he says that he has been busy. I really do hope this is the case. I guess I put the ball in his court.
The Eden clue had me trying but I had no luck. Zac and I worked together to figure out what it could be. We decided the words are probably a string of names together and we'll need more clues. It was a good opportunity for us to bond even more. I think he trusts me a lot. At this point, I really need that since I don't really plan on telling him about the Starr/Bree/Julian alliance I'm involved with yet.
Mark and I spoke about who we want out this week, ideally. We both agreed on Dion. We think that Knox and Dion have a bond, and Zac also seems to sway between Mark/I and Dion. If Dion leaves, Mark and I will have Zac and Knox to ourselves to form an official coalition against the power-ridden Julian/Starr/Bree.
Bree is the likely target for Zac/Dion/Knox/Gabe, given they have been out of the loop (well, Gabe used to be). Bree is the obvious choice. Really, she should have left 2 rounds ago but she has been saved thanks to her alliance. However, this time I'm glad that Bree will have support to stay from Julian/Starr, because they have to target someone else, and it looks like Dion's number could be up.
Now, I know that Julian formed a side thing with Starr/Mark/Dion, but according to both Mark and Starr, it never really cemented. Instead, it seems like Starr and Mark are bonding--well, Starr is bonding with Mark but Mark agrees with me that she's totally sly and not to be trusted. Oh, and Mark really doesn't like Julian either. I totally feel Julian is cocky and I don't like that. I feel nervous constantly and it really irks me to see people like Julian and Starr who feel so secure in their position.
Starr revealed to me tonight that Bree knows Dion from some modelling game that she hosts, and that Dion is Yvette from last season. If I recall, Yvette was a likeable player who kind of went with the flow. Sounds about right. Apparently Bree tried to use that to get Dion to like her, but now she's pissed because...
Dion was the vote for Bree. Or, so I've been told. I figured as much, but Starr told me tonight that Mark told her that Reese told him (wow, that was a long sentence) that Dion voted to keep him. I do believe it because Dion wasn't around yesterday and I think she felt the vote would probably end up being Bree, so she hedged her bets and lost. Now the real question is whether Dion admits to it or lies. If Dion says she voted Reese, then Bree will be livid and will want her gone immediately. This works very well for me and Mark. I haven't spoken to Mark today but I do wonder if he lied just to get Dion on the chopping block. If so, huge kudos to Mark; perfect move for us going forward.
I really hope we can win the challenge but I am doubtful. There are so many egos on our tribe, especially Julian, that I think people will ignore my advice of trying to get the other team to do the puzzle and will try to be heroes and do the puzzle, get cocky, and lose us a point. We'll see, but we're already down 2 points in a 5-points-to-win game.
I'm very frightened about a swap at this stage. I feel we are very outnumbered and I don't think I will survive if we swap. I think my activity on the forum will be seen as a threat and I will be taken out. I know anything can happen, but I feel very nervous and feel like I will be a pre-merge boot, or an early merge boot if we don't swap until the merge. My gut says the fans will be decimated and I will be one of the first to go in a joining of the fans and favourites. I'm praying for some cracks on that tribe, and I'm also hoping they go to Judgment more. Otherwise, I don't think I can win this game, unless I switch onto a tribe that wins immunity often; in that case, I have time to integrate into the tribe and find cracks, but it's all a matter of time, and if I don't have time, my time in the game will most certainly be gut short.
As always, I remain very, very nervous. Man, I'm going to be a mess if I make it far!
