The game starts now.

I'll be brief, but this challenge is not for me. I know I'll be ranked low on everyone's list, and I don't have the skill to win every round. It's not gonna stop me from trying my hardest, though. The FarragoFour are threateningly close to disbanding, after Chad told me he still has trust issues. And I have them with him. Thiago's an incredibly smart player, and I'm so thankful that he's on my side. He keeps me sane, and I appreciate it. It's like having having a person Xanax. I'm just stressing out way too much before the vote is even here. I think it has to do with the fact that I'll be gone for 2 days next week, and a lot can happen during then. I need to win this game. There's too much riding on it.

This challenge is very quickly slipping out of my hands. Mark's kept a constant eye on the time and has gotten me down to -15. And while this is for immunity only, it still sort of makes me mad. But I think it's mainly because I don't have an edge over him. You know... Going into this thing, the merge, I was so stressed out. I had no idea where the numbers were going to fall or where I was going to go, but I've realized right about now that I don't need to worry this round. I need to focus on getting into a quiet yet safe position and stay for a bit. I've made a name for myself in the PreMerge stage, and now it's time for the other's to paint their targets. The numbers are quite simply, right now, 6-6. Reliquum vs. Admonitio. Fans vs. Favorites. It's just a matter of getting the Farrago 5 to vote together, and the three of us to get Gloria and Chad to vote with us. The target that Chad wants is Knox and Zac, but it's not gonna' happen. There are too many dang Fans that think if we ever have a loss in numbers, our game is done. I, for one, am one of them. The alliance of four from Admonitio will in no way vote for a Favorite. They're as tight as... Another thing. I'm trusting that Bree isn't lying to me 100%. I feel like she really does trust me. And I trust her. In short, the game is going back to its roots. [SIDE NOTE, courtesy of Bree.] Numbers if Knox leaves: Numbers if Carly leaves:

I'm so thankful for Thiago.
He's so smart. He keeps me in line. Love him.

I think I've come to the realization that maybe things aren't as they seem. Chad has been a dog this round. And not even a pretty purebred. A freaking mutt. Ugh. I've heard so much stuff from Thiago, my partner in crime, about him. And I heard stuff about Knox. I heard that Chad told Knox that Bree and I wanted to vote for him. Which pisses me OFF. Chad, you are NOT outplaying me. You might think you are. You might think you're smart. You might think you're some God of puzzles, but you're NOT. And you NEVER will be. Gloria played an apple.. No, she ate an apple. I hope it tasted damn good, because now you're going to get a knot in your stomach so tight that even the best knot-untier ever couldn't untie it! Basically, I think that Gloria won't have too good of a time this Tribal. As in, what if her vote doesn't count? It makes sense, because the apple she ate is sort of a "coast through this round" apple. Anyway, the A-Four hasn't told Chad the vote, so that's why I'm feeling confident. Chad has been lying through his teeth this round. To everyone and their mother. And all he had to do was vote for Carly. How stupid. Chad, when you read this, don't take it personally. You're just playing very, very, stupid.
