Woohoo! Immunity!
I wasn't really planning to try for it honestly, there was no intention initially for me to get it.
I casually did one and three last night as tokens planning to win those two and like show that at least I put forth some effort, because I don't know, I'd like to think I'm pretty half decent at challenges and I've always been pretty good at them but I don't like to really show that any more because I guess you get considered a threat later in the game or something, gross, right?
But I was thinking it through and honestly this would have been probably the dumbest immunity challenges to throw in the history of GVSE. First of all, if I lost and got out, I would be lower than all of my previous seasons, and that's just not going to happen this time, we settle for anything above 13th, not 18th.
Second of all, there are too many variables that are floating around in this tribe to let myself even be subject to any sort of elimination. Who knows what could happen in the long run, or short run even, if Bree and Thiago, and Starr decide suddenly to vote me out, and bla bla bla, it just all seems to much, doesn't it?
So I decided to win it, I figured I only needed four, so I just went for a few hours straight today and it wasn't really anything. But weu immunity!
So more than a few things happened today after the results, so let's go through these one at a time:
I talked to Thiago, and he was really concerned. And that made me concerned - mostly because he scares me immensely as a player and is too heavy a variable to take into account. Anyways, he was talking about how Gloria had told him about alias (ha) problems, but he didn't know who they were between, but Tina said she hated Starr, so she figured it was those two. And that was nice - but I set him straight so he knew it was me, and kind of realized that Starr isn't my favourite person in this game.
He goes on to ask me about what's going on and to tell him because Starr and Bree aren't talking to him and neither are any of the favourites and he's just OH SO SCARED. Now don't get me wrong, I like Thiago, a lot actually. But I have so much to think about when talking to him, it's like reading The Great Gatsby trying to figure out what everything really means. He went on for a long long time, like I mean a long time, the entirety of the time I was doing the 10 and 14 tokens. So.. yeh, about how he feels so on the outs.
And then this boy offers to be my Sherri.
Now this deal is something that I find to be almost really attractive. It's something that I want. It's the most tempting offer that I've received this entire game, and yet, I know it's a trick. But I almost can't stop myself. But I told him I would talk to him later about all this - because that, that is a fool's offer of an alliance, and he knows it, and he's good at what he does, and it's scary. I don't trust him, but I want to work with him. And really it's this whole turmoil of things.
But I don't buy into the whole "my teammates don't talk to me" shtick. He came here with Bree and Starr, and they're close, and they wouldn't have come together if they weren't. That's the game though, and I respect him for playing but shut up.
Bree - on the other hand, has become sort of my confidant. She no longer speak in her fake french accent and states I'm the only one she does that too, which is nice. But she's still not really up there in the trust scale. I trust her as far as taking out Starr, but then from that point on, she won't be playing my game anymore, she'll be playing her own game.
However, she was the first to tell me this morning that Starr has a vote nullifier. Great.
That added a whole other aspect into this vote that I didn't really need but holla at my immunity necklace cause I ain't leavin'.
Basically all this leads up to tonight.
Gloria's been a little distant these past few days. I think it's work but you can never really tell in these games if people are just making excuses or if they're really just busy. But everything I say to her just seems to get dismissed and I'm really starting to get annoyed by it.
I tried to discuss the vote with her, and she was answering with one word answers. And I tried to talk to her about the nullifier, and ugh just so annoying.
So I stopped talking to her for a while and went to Tina, we talked a bit. We discussed the pros and cons of keeping Thiago, to which she clearly stated that she in no way intended to vote Thiago out in any way shape or form, and wasn't shy in expressing this.
Oh, Tina. What are we going to do with her. I just don't know.
I told her that Gloria was being difficult and that I was a little worried about what way she would sway with the vote,
To whic Tina went and told Gloria she was not voting Thiago and that was the end of the story.
Jesus Tina.
It's impossible to work with her sometimes.
I was leaning more to Thiago at the point, but I don't know there's something about the nullifier that was really worrying me.
Like for instance.
If Gloria/Tina/I voted Thiago still, I kept Bree's vote on Starr, Starr nullifies one of our votes. It's a tie, and Bree no longer trusts me.
It's all too complicated, also I feel like Thiago might have the idol, but that's not a sure thing as of yet, no one actually really knows. Tina and I know that Gloria has one, but anyways.
That brings us to the main topic of tonight and that was the discussion with Starr.
Her and I had talked last night about forming an alliance of sorts, and I said that I wasn't willing to vote out Gloria or Tina, and she said the same for Bree and Thiago, and it was all cute and stuff.
Tonight we really got into this discussion though, where she threw Bree under the bus and said she'd rather have her voted out, only giving me even more leverage over Bree in the long run. And I said I'd rather keep Gloria, which is true really. Gloria is my number one.
We went into this deep talk about one of us switching, I told her it didn't matter with her Eden prize, she admitted to having a nullifier, and then pulled Gloria and I into a group chat to discuss a possible 3 way alliance.
At first the chat was kind of a joke of sorts, just to almost ensure that Starr would think she were safe and not have to use her nullifier in case that Bree doesn't actually vote Starr. But like, I don't know the more Starr talked about it the more it seemed a little.. attractive.
The idea Starr put forth was to vote out Tina, and then Starr/Gloria/I take out Thiago or Bree next and be an alliance of three.
But honestly I'm not that dumb to trust Starr.
I've trusted her before and look where that got me. So I'm not going to go there, but Gloria got a little convinced.
Yesterday, she thought she was the level-headed one, and now I am. Jesus there is no consistency here.
Anyways, I just really couldn't take it anymore. I told Gloria I would "leave it up to her" and talk to her tomorrow morning, while heavily hinting that Tina would ultimately be loyal, where Starr would take us out the second we weren't looking and wouldn't blink.
But mainly, all today's provided is that the target have moved swiftly off Thiago and onto Starr or Tina, which is almost.. dangerous. As much as I want to win, playing with fans is a little adventurous, and you can get your fingers cut off PUN. I'm really hoping Gloria comes to her senses tomorrow when I talk to her. But you never know, right?
I guess we'll see.
