The problem for me is going to be in this merge later when I have them and the Tiberius group and I'll have to find some sort of middle ground between both groups otherwise I'll be playing both sides which I have never done in a game before.  You rookie  Should be interesting as although I hated it (ALOT) as a player, it would be awesome to watch and thats why Jaime loved it lol. |

Yay we merged! I was extremely tired of losing every challenge and going to tc every round, so def glad we merged. The only crappy part is we have a quick challenge and then right back into tc mode and having tc on back to back days. Oh well at least there are plenty of more options now for vote offs and I shouldn't be attacked for a few rounds.
My first merge target has always been Dreamz. I know Courtney hates the guys guts and he hates her equally if not more. Tie in the fact I despise him for being a crybaby and annoying as you can be on the boards, I made sure to push for him hard to go. There was talk about targeting Gabe first and no way I was going to vote that way, I quickly stepped in soon as I heard that and made it go right back onto Dreamz. I can't be targeting any Tiberius members yet, can't give them any possible non Tiberius allies in the future when I do decide to go after them. Of course I wasn't going to use that as my main reasoning, I simply just said if it's tied Gabe is really good at challenges as he won the Tiberius individual immunity the round we voted Kelly off. Later Benry informed me that he had a vote changer and could change someone's vote. This was perfect and would avoid any possibility of a tie and catch them by surprise. I made sure to keep it on the down low just in the event the others had something to use that could hurt us.
So Dreamz ended up leaving like expected. He didn't leave quietly as one might expect, although he didn't say anything super bad about me so I could care less. I had Katie and Boo send me pms how I have to vote with them or Tiberius is done with. They actually don't see what I see and what I can do, vote Peter off next and then Danielle gets to vote the following tc and Tiberius is still sitting strong at 5-4 at the final 9. I really just don't know if I want to stick with Tiberius anymore anyways. I've had Boo already try and vote me off, Danielle seems like she's been anti me since the Spencer vote, and nothing that wrong with Katie and Gabe but I don't trust them all that much.
Boo sent me like 4 pms today lol. Funny how he rarely talked to me and is suddenly my best friend in the game. He said how sorry he was he voted me and had to stick with Amber, I don't believe him and think this was more Danielle's plan via Spencer to try and get me out. The best part was how they need me now and how Benry lied to their faces about the vote lol. I guess for now I'll just play around like I'm on his side until I'm ready to cut him off.
I found out Chase is my infamous Luxor host and Benry was a pw there and hosted me in a couple seasons in his series. They both know how I play and that's not necesarly a good thing, however in that Luxor game I didn't do anything bad so not like he can use that against me but there are other games he could. I just have to keep a careful eye on those 2 and what they might be up to. The good news is Benry lied to their faces, stupid when you have immunity. Chase doesn't care for either Boo or Gabe and they know so it would be hard for them doing anything soon.
This round I'm just going to shoot for the Peter boot. I tried talking to the guy and he's way too quiet and I hate playing this game with people who say very little or nothing at all. I just need to make sure the dude doesn't win immunity or that creates a problem, since I'm aligned with every single other person in the game and would prefer to start burning bridges at the final 9, not final 10.

I did my very best throwing the majority rules immunity challenge. I didn't mean to overdo it with only 7 correct answers and getting last place but that's how it happened. I don't need to look like challenge threat much like Danielle, Katie, and Benry and I'll continue to sandbag the challenges until it's time for me to step up to the plate and win something. The good things about this challenge were Peter not winning immunity and also getting to go to the grotto. My constant seed planting of saying I've never been to the grotto and never will paid off to say the least.
This vote I'm stuck in the middle, exactly where I like being where I'm either someone's demise or someone's savior. I have Chase/Brenda/Benry/Courtney all voting for Peter and then Katie/Gabe/Boo/Peter all voting for Benry. I'm the deciding factor and I'm going to vote Peter off, he's the only person that I don't have any official agreement with in the game and this keeps me in the swing vote position next round as Danielle will have voting powers back. There was a slight issue with this vote as Courtney complained about Benry and Brenda calling the shots and she wanted Boo out instead of Peter. I quickly stepped in and said we'll do Boo next round because he might use a vote blocker or something, she seemed to calm down and be fine with that.
I'm sure I'll get hell from the Tiberius members after this vote and I do not care. They wouldn't have included me in their future plans had Dreamz ended up staying over Courtney. They can either beg that I work with them next of leave the next 4 boots after Peter.

This sounds so much like BT, especially the fact you were in a group chat with the people you didn't vote with! Deju Vu much?
I thought it was odd you did so poorly in the challenge as I remember in BT you came second (I think) and thought you were generally good at this challenge.

I wouldn't say it's that deja vu again. I'm more prone to stay with a side (the non Tiberius side) I just don't like the Tiberius side that much, they all annoy me and play the same games together. I just felt like bringing a little of the BT strategy in the merge with me but it wouldn't be the constant back and forth. The prizes on this game will probably end up being my downfall because there are so many of them and when you're public enemy #1 your name ends up on the parchment lol.

I'm going to continue throwing challenges and see if I can make the finals leaving myself open for the last 11 rounds of the game The last round sucked, might be the worst round of the whole game so far. The Tiberius clan used a bunch of prizes Katie supplied to make everyone immune and of course Danielle had an idol. I knew Katie wasn't going to leave Danielle open like that to get the boot and why I was encouraging both Courtney and Brenda to vote Chase in that situation, but everyone was so confident she didn't have anything so i just went along and voted Danielle. I love how the Tiberius clan all tried to get me to vote Chase, they all invited me in some chat which I knew was a setup and only "Payback" from the Peter vote. They all were being very quiet not giving me direct answers and then 30 seconds later Chase informs me they were voting Courtney lol. It prob did make sense for me to vote Chase in that situation but voting Danielle was basicly my way of saying screw you, I know you're not voting Chase and trying to trap me for the next round. I feel bad Brenda left but the good news is it wasn't me and I can go on a revengeful run against them all. This round I'm gunning for Katie. She came to me with some long rant and she's a huge threat for later in the game, not to mention I didn't care for her giving immunities away. I'll use my vote blocker here since I may as well use it and try and avoid a tie or at least match the prize they will use. I thought about voting Boo this round, but I rather keep him since he's weak in challenges, might have a grotto prize that could nulify votes, and Court/Benry/Tom all hate his guts and that works into my favor. I made a deal with Danielle to keep each other safe, doesn't make any difference to me since I wasn't going to vote her this round and if that helps me all the better. I've been trying to hint that they are voting Boo and hopefully it goes that way and they say they are voting Chase lol. Odds are they want me to vote Chase again and vote me or Courtney and can't take the chance there. If they vote Chase then they do to face him in some tb they think might happen, I would love to surprise them with the vote blocker since I did tell Boo that I skipped to the next level. This tribal could go a lot of ways and it's only the prizes that scare the hell out of me. |

Chase is a complete idiot self voting and basicly saying screw you to the alliance and wasting my prize in the process. I shall do the same thing this round and follow is Chase's footsteps with my own self vote at tribal, since I refuse to vote Courtney. The end.

Atleast there is a "strategy" behind it...

There was a strategy through all this and it's a one and only self vote lol. A) I couldn't vote Courtney B) I didn't want to piss off the Tiberius members and try and integrate back in C) Gabe and Danielle were overally paranoid they were going to be idoled out, so I offered to self vote in order to leave if an idol was played. (I knew there was no idol or Courtney would have told me) Now I sail into the final 6, challenge that's up my alley and off to the final 5 I shall go |

This elimination challenge was sure a breeze. I could have probably went all the way and won immunity, but since Benry said he'd just give me his immunity grotto prize if he won I didn't try and overtake him since it seems like he's determined to win every challenge and no need to overdo things myself. I'm a little surprised Danielle didn't try harder given the grotto stakes and I'm extremely surprised Katie ended up eliminated over Boo when she's been a force in posting challenges the whole game. I can't say I'm sad to see her leave, she was a threat and coming after me sooner then later.
This next vote is going to be interesting. Benry has immunity, I will have immunity when he gives me his grotto immunity thing, and then that leaves Gabe, Danielle, and Boo fighting for their life. Danielle's paranoia is getting rather annoying how she's talking about how she's next and everything lol. She's pushing for the Boo vote this round and much as I wouldn't mind seeing him leave, I almost rather he stay because he's so horrible in challenges and won't be any factor at the final 4. I'd like to tell Benry that Danielle should go instead but since I've called so many of the votes earlier in the merge I don't want to step on his toes on this one, he's just more so set on Boo leaving based on their hating each other even knowing it's not the best move to make. This is one upcoming challenge that I hope is luck related or something Boo can actually win that way he's immune and it's either Danielle or Gabe leaving where in that case we can probably get rid of Danielle. Danielle now says she wants the final 3 to be Gabe, Me, and Herself. I don't know if I trust that very much, I have the feeling she's making the same exact deal with Benry to only keep herself safe this round and the following round. The bad thing is I don't think I have any realistic chance to win this game, making the finals would probably be about the best thing I can hope for at this point lol. Oh well that's still a win in itself I'd say.

Just don't finish 4th! . Do you think anyone in your alliance would vote you over Benry in that FTC if you make it? |
