Either another fan will be taken out thanks to Knox (or possibly Mark) or it'll be for naught and we'll all be decimated one-by-one. Zoinks. It really, really fucking sucks knowing you basically wasted a full day on a challenge to be leading all day, and then have someone (Liam) pop in for an hour to surpass your score... wow, it was literally all for nothing and I'm really upset right now buuuuut I should have seen it coming since Bree did the same exact thing last immunity. Seems to be a recurring thing, and I bet I'm fucked. I'm *SUCH* a fucking threat.  Video Conf later maybe. I didn't get one up last round.  |

Yeah. I need to sleep. Whatever, I tried lol. Never going down w/o a fight. I guess earlier I sleep, the earlier I can get up to start campaigning. -___- I told a lot to Mark about Thiago, since Thiago did not seem interested in flipping AT ALL. So I threw him under the bus to Thiago, because Thiago basically told me he thinks Mark needs to go sooner rather than later, because he's a threat. Yet they all voted me because I'm the threat. Yeah, ok.

I mean, I guess I can see how I'm the threat. I'm the only fucking favorite who spent the entire day on this shit. Gloria and Taylor did NOTHING. Liam wasn't around all day because he was moving, and then he popped on for a fucking hot minute and found more than I found all damn day. To hell with these favorites  #FrustratedAndTiredThoughts Good night.  |

I'm not just gonna lay down my fucking torch or "expect" Knox to vote to keep me. I find it odd that he's on our side when I speak to others (Mark) more than him... and they're not on my side. I guess it's Knox's relationship with Gloria though, and if he's serious about flipping to our side, then I imagine I will be safe regardless so campaigning should hopefully not hurt me. I sent a PM to Mark basically saying we should stick together since we're both threats & if I get voted out then he'll follow shortly after. Zac actually PM'd me saying everyone's quiet, and I told him he should come talk to me and I want to work something out with him as well. Basically, I cut off Bree from my life completely because I need someone to scapegoat out and say I'm targeting, since I promised Thiago I wouldn't vote for him (when I completely plan on it, tbh...) Sure, ideally I'd vote Bree.... but I gotta vote who I gotta vote to get majority I suppose. Besides, it'll leave Bree in so I can target her in the future.. assuming I make it past this round lulz. Also, I want to psych out the fans. I kind of want the attitude: sure, vote for me, see if I care... I have an idol !!!! Even though I don't. Even though how obvious of a boot am I? So if we did have an idol it'd so be being played on me so they should go for the shock-factor. Vote Taylor! Who would waste an idol on him? Plz plz plz don't vote me out I'm not ready to go homeeee, ugh. Ben's story is NOT over after two second-place finishes in a row.  ||| To Mark [Subject: ey Buddyyyy!] From/To Zac [Subject: Everyone's so quite around here...] |

I want to message Knox to tell him hey what's up I hope you don't plan on voting for me, I hear Gloria likes you, etc. But idk how much I'm supposed to know about between him and Gloria, so I feel like it'd be hella awkward if I said something I wasn't supposed to knowwww blaaahhhhh.

Bree: You're no longer immune this round- how does that make you feel?I am nervous, oui. I know I am target. It is scary. Don't flatter yourself. |

I did. :} Then I spoke to him on AIM and he told me he wasn't comfortable with flipping this round, and that he doesn't talk to Taylor so he wants to let Taylor go. He said he and Mark would flip next round to vote Thiago though, that Mark would vote with us to avoid the tie... so uh, I was basically okay with this. I didn't know what else I could do. I've already tried to get every other fan to flip, excluding Bree. Bree's chance to flip wilted away the first round of merge, IMO. If she ever was going to flip, it would have been for Chad, but instead she backstabbed him. She's not worth it. I've tried to get all the rest to flip, and it's just... feeling hopeless. Knox and Mark were honestly our best chances. Thiago doesn't listen to me when I campaign to him, he says to appeal to his logic so I do and he doesn't believe what I have to say, so I am pretty sure he's a waste of time. Zac is a waste of space so he wouldn't flip either, but the only thing I can find of use for him is preserving myself over the other favorites. So I was pretty sure Mark and Knox were our only chances, and oh boy are those chances "torpedoed" now (in the words of Liam.) Basically, the moment Knox told me he wasn't willing to flip this round, I informed Gloria and Liam (not Taylor, because I didn't want Taylor flipping on us...) so they'd know what's going on. What do they want to do? Gloria's first reaction was to search and destroy for the idol, find it, play it on Taylor, idol out someone like Mark. I didn't wanna vote Mark at all but the idea seemed so far-fetched I was just like "alright." I kind of think all of the idols are gone anyway so *shrug.* Anyway, Liam's first reaction (and Gloria's second reaction) was to use the info Knox gave us and throw it back in his face, throw him under the bus to Thiago. I, of course, knew this wasn't going to work and I was the voice of reason saying "No, don't do it..." but I didn't like tell them adamantly enough apparently because Liam sent Thiago a huge PM throwing Knox (and Mark) under the bus. Yeah, so lo and behold, Thiago replied with a huge PM basically summed up into saying: "I don't believe you." so pretty much exactly what I expected from Thiago who fails to listen to reason. He said to campaign to him with reason? We give him evidence. He doesn't believe it. I mean, ok Thiago. I expected this from you but seriously. Anyway at this point, Liam basically realizes the following: And yeah, no shit, Liam. I IM'd Thiago and he asked me straight up if Mark or Knox ever said they'd be willing to vote him out, and I said yes, because it's the truth lol. I don't know what Thiago is planning on doing anymore, nor do I really care, but I personally am doing damage control with Knox saying I didn't agree with the decision made to throw him under the bus, etc. Knox told me straight up he's not down to turn on Thiago anymore so way to have your super mastermind plan blow up in our faces, Faves. Awesome, awesome job. I applaud you all. I hope you just don't drag me to Hell. on this Judgement Day. ||||   So after all of this, Liam turns to me and asks, "I don't think they're flipping. Who should we vote?" lmao. I'm just like "Let's either do Taylor or Bree. Taylor because it's the majority and we can't do anything about it, or Bree because we already have before so it's no extra blood lost." To be honest, I just want to vote for Bree because I have a loose alliance set up with Zac, Thiago, Knox, and Mark, so :} hehe. It preserves my relationship with each of them dandily. I'm becoming less and less of a team-player, and more and more of an individual player. It's hard not to be when I have shit allies. (JK I love you guys <3 lmao this was just not our best move... sighhh) |

Au revior Taylor! I never met you. Did you not want to reply? Merci pour le vote! If you're going to pretend to be French, please do it right. AU REVIOR is not AU REVOIR. This really annoys me more than it should but idrc. x Oh and you're welcome "pour le vote." |

I hope we can kinda work together, or at least not vote one another this round. I kinda didn't want Liam to win immunity because I figured if he did, that only meant the target on our backs grew larger, since people view us as "threats" apparently lol so I tried to help ya man. Sorry it didn't work out. I don't think anyone would have gotten "Talus," and I coulda sworn I tried "Jewelry" like tons and tons of times. Anyway, hopefully we get the opportunity to chat on AIM, because I seriously would be interested in working something out with you, more longterm than just a couple rounds here and there. But for now, I can tell you that I don't plan on voting you out, and I hope you can see that I'm trying to benefit the both of us. If I go (because I'm supposedly a threat), then you may not be too far behind. Just look out for yourself and do what's best for you, but I'd like to be here fighting alongside ya and hopefully we can talk about it.
