Long past due for an update. What? Been busy doing challenges, don't ya know?
So Gabe...
I'll just preface this by saying, he wouldn't have been my first choice of boot. But this was a calculated risk. By giving Zac the power to choose who he wants to survive, I solidify some trust, and hopefully make him think I will always do whatever he wants. Now don't get me wrong...I wondered all day yesterday whilst doing that freaking 4x4...yes, it took me about 5 hours to do it...
#mildlyretarded
...but I wondered if Zac would ultimately stick with me or Knox at another judgment. I was even thinking of revealing my HII to Zac to make sure of no shenanigans. I was even going to go so far as to doctor it up so that it read "Must be used by the final 13.....or some such." Just for security. But no need to worry now.
Gabe, if/when you read this, I wanted you to stay. I trust in you 85x more than Knox, and I would have held firmly to our final 3 with Thiago. But this path is the way I felt would better my game. I'm so, so sorry.
So now, here we are, at the midpoint of the game. We now stand at half of the cast we started with. I'm in the upper percentile...and it feels great. I have assumed a role here that I am a loner, a Sandra vote of sorts. I have played up to Starr that I really want to stick with her, and I meet all of her information with surprise and intrigue as if it is the first time I've heard it. And I also nag her (without being annoying, mind you) about info she hasn't told me (that I already know) about the dynamics of her tribe and what is going to happen in the future. I have told her each judgment that Knox would be going, but that I was informed at the last minute that I needed to change my vote to Julian and Gabe. So to her, I'm really just a puppet. Swell. I know all about her love/hate with Chad. Thank you, Thiago. And I'm fully aware that she knows so much about this game, and am sure she really is a previous player. Just by the way she talks. So I'm not stupid to think she isn't somehow in cahoots with some of these people, namely Gloria who she somehow managed to flip. Even Chad to a certain extent. But I'm also confident she has a much higher profile than I. I have been intentionally quiet, while not off the radar. I hope that once we merge, and whatever bloodbath ensues, the fish besides myself will be bigger. I will be but a mere clownfish in a sea of sharks. Finding Mark.
To make things better, between myself and Thiago, we hold 2 immunity idols. Thiago's must be used on someone else. Mine must be used on anyone. I fully intend to rip the game open with it.
And I will.
Happy second half!
So Gabe...
