So right before Judgment, Zac approached me about having me/him/Mark/Gabe team up and vote off Bree, since he sensed Julian/Starr wanted to keep Bree. If anything confirmed to me that I needed to ditch this current alliance, this only confirmed it. This means that each of Mark/Gabe/Zac has now come up to me before knowing about the other alliances saying they wanted to get something together with the other 3. It's simply an alliance made in heaven. We all want each other. It's like a bro orgy. I use the word bro because it's much more appealing than, say. a visual of a bathhouse. *Shudders*
I told Zac everything that's been going on and he seemed really excited. I knew he would be happy because he has been anxious all game to find footing. I hope that Gabe/Mark aren't too suspicious of the fact that I have brought everyone into the alliance so far. In reality, they should be. I have that "special" connection which each of them, because I brought them in. When you're nervous in a game like this, and one person brings out their hand for you to grab onto, you have a sense of loyalty with that person. Even though there are others in the group, that one person who brought it to your attention creates a bond with you that can't be verbalized. I'm hoping that in any dangerous situation each of them will bat for me first and foremost. I want to be as protected as possible.
I came up with the idea for Zac to vote for Bree with Knox so that we had someone covering Knox. I don't want him feeling totally on the outs. We have Zac, so having Zac seem with Knox makes it look like Zac a) isn't with us and b) keeps Knox trusting someone, which means I know what's going on with him indirectly.
I'm still contemplating if we lose again to still vote off Knox, and then make our move at 7 if we lose again. I want to delay this vote off as much as possible. I didn't turn on my alliance to actually betray them; rather, I used the information of that alliance to form something secretive and gain nearly everyone on the tribe's trust. The actual act of cutting throats is not on my agenda, but if we lose 2 more challenges I will have to make that move, and it will hurt my game. People will not be happy with me, people being Julian/Starr/Bree. Mark and I want to delay pissing them off as much as possible. I'm sure Gabe/Zac want to do it fast because they know they're on the bottom and it may make them nervous, but at this stage the less division on our tribe going into a swap or merge situation is huge, especially with a likely numbers disadvantage.
Also, after the next clue was posted in the river, I found 8/10 fish. I didn't want anyone knowing I found the idol but I could not find the last 2 fish, so I told Mark. I figured that if I couldn't have it all to myself I might as tell someone I really trust and keep the idol out of other people's hands, and know where it is. Mark found the other 2 fish and he is going to eden now. I'm fine with this because I know Mark could use the idol to save me, but also I have information that he has the idol and way down the line, if I have to, I will use that information to benefit me. I'm not planning to betray him, but I like the idea of, if I can't have the idol completely to myself, then I'd rather someone else be in possession of it. Information is key in this game. The information I had of Bree/Julian/Starr's group, and Julian/Starr's side alliance with Mark/Dion (thanks to Starr telling me), was used to gain the trust of Gabe/Zac/Mark, and as of now, I have not had to upset anyone. The time may come, but for now, I haven't made any enemies and I want to keep it this way. Information is power.
I've finally completed my exams and I'm flying home for my "spring break" so I can't wait. I'm hoping my activity isn't greatly affected by my "vacation." I can't wait to see my family, I miss them so much. It's as if I'm playing real SURVIVOR, but the family visit episode is in Episode 5 instead of 10 or 11.
