Week #8

~ Week #8 - Part I ~

Thoughts of my Tribe:

- I adore Ben & he is my most trusted ally. However, I feel that to an extent he has been lying to me or has avoided telling me certain details. I feel like I am always 100% honest to him and if he isn't being honest with me then I don't know what to do.

- She hasn't really been around as often so I haven't really spoken to her a lot. Personally, I think she just likes to go with the flow or majority in this instance to avoid making people mad. This is a brilliant strategy in my honest opinion because she will continue to float possibly to the very end. This is a major reason why I want her out ASAP!

- Again, I haven't been able to have a full out strategic conversation with Liam, but he did invite me into his & Ben's alliance. My only concern with Liam is that he seems like he could be a snake & he is spreading himself thin with too many alliances (Myself, Ben, Carly, and Taylor). Additionally, who makes a 5-person alliance on a team of 6? He must know he's safe for now or at least thinks he is going to be or the coming weeks. so in the coming weeks. However, he is one of my top targets and I want him to depart quickly so that Ben can fully pay attention to me & remain loyal to me only.

- Oh, Taylor. He is a really nice person, but I don't think I have carried much conversation with him. This worries me because I have no clue where his head is at. Also, it seems like Ben trusts him so I guess I can too for now.

Last week I definitely think I put a lot of the challenge on my shoulders (by negotiating roles, etc.) and it sucked to lose. I thought we had the challenge in the bag, but sadly we didn't. The only people we can blame the loss on really was Taylor, Carly, and Ben. Out of those three Taylor and Carly are by far the weakest people on our tribe & I feel like due to that they need to leave soon. We can't afford to have weak people because typically they are more malleable and the more malleable they are the more likely they will flip come merge.

As for Stephenie leaving I was kind of on the fence. I feel like she was a total wildcard, but once Beau left I think I could have manipulated her to do as I said. Only problem was that I would have never been able to find a third vote to keep her so that's why I never even bothered to campaign for her to stay. Before she left she said that Carly/Ben/Liam had an alliance which I don't really believe. Hypothetically it's possible because they all were in the same season so I really don't know.

~ Week #8 - Part II ~

I have a really bad feeling about this week especially with this upcoming vote. Something is telling me that the vote is going to be between either me or Taylor. There's really two reasons I believe this; #1) Typically Ben talks to me a lot about the vote and the like but he's really avoiding me this week, and #2) Before Stephenie left she said that Liam/Carly/Ben had a Season 3 alliance so that is my first indication as why the vote is either between me or Taylor. In my previous confessional I noted that I was beginning to question Ben's loyalty which makes everything suspicious to me. Ultimately, for me it comes down to who I think I can trust at this point which honestly is no one. Even though Carly and Liam said that they were voting Taylor out I just have a hard time buying it. Although, Carly did seem more sincere about saying she was going to vote out Taylor than Liam did. Ugh, I'm just so torn right now . Ultimately, my strategy for the remainder of the week is to try and coerce people to keep me, but at the same time I'm going to search for the Idol with my Compass just in case. The other day I was feeling like perhaps I should use it, but I didn't know if I got the right answer or whether I was going to tribal or not. Now it doesn't hurt to try to find the idol especially since I am extremely paranoid this week. I'm praying that I at least make it to merge ... if not I'd be super disappointed. Plus, if I did go this week its not fair that the actual trustworthy get backstabbed .

~ Week #8 - Part IV ~

I decided to use my "compass" that the snake gave me & it absolutely did nothing for me. Snake if you're reading this you can shove the prize up you @**. Honestly, after everything I have done not only for my team, but for Ben this is the repayment I receive. These losers have lost the last THREE challenge which I've essentially carried on my shoulders (except this pass one). Seriously it blows my mind that they are going to keep a person, AKA Taylor, that has never helped nor will ever help them in this game? When Ben & the rest of the useless team looks back at their moves and especially this Confessional they are going to smack themselves in the head so hard. Ultimately, this will be the Favorites undoing and as they unravel I will delightfully cheer in a poor sports kind of manner. My prophecy: As one team collapses into the ashes (the Favorites) another team will rise to the occasion to reclaim their rightful place in the world to restore dignity, intelligence, and humanity.
