Round 6 Confessionals: "Gabon 2.0"

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

The title of this confessional is cause I feel there's gonna be a shuffle tonight, which of course is our 2nd just like the Gabon season if it does happen tonight lol. I've suspected a shuffle since this last round, 1 tribe won immunity, so I'm guessing either that was leading to a shuffle, or either it was to speed up the game.

Anywho, looks like everyone was right about Ami and Brandon being the first two boots. Well, as long as Tiberius can stay steady and not lose any more of its members, we should be good to go. If there is a shuffle tonight, it'd be cool if 5 of us Tiberius were all together vs like 3 from another tribe.. just makes for easy pickings lol. I guess I will see what happens tonight, if that's not the case, then I have to try and work with some people to keep me safe, only reason I haven't offered Sash and Spencer any sort of deals is cause I know they won't budge and vote out each other, right now my targets are Courtney and Spencer, but both have had a slew of Grotto visits, so I'll have to roll the dice and target the right person, and hope they don't pull anything out of their asses.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

As far as plans go for the shuffle, it all depends on who I am tribed up with. I definitely would work with any of the original Tiberius members and Amber if we all end up tribed together, but I know who I think I would target, but... there's a good chance those targets could end up on the opposing tribe and not with me so anything could happen. My strategy at the 2nd shuffle is to remain on everyone's good side so they won't suggest me for the vote, I wanna see if I can make people think they can trust me so they won't vote for me, it's gonna be hard cause most of these people won't budge, and I've seen that with Spencer and Sash, but I know if there's some way I can get Courtney or Spencer blindsided it would work.

With Courtney, most of the original Strabo members remaining dislike Courtney from what I've seen with Dreamz and the others, so I think that they would help me vote her out if I was on her tribe and Dreamz or any of the other Strabos were as well. I still got no idea why they hate Courtney, but as long as it helps me get her ass out, I really don't care.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

Will write more later, just gotta see what all craziness happens that I can write on! lol.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

Alright, so I went to take a power nap before the challenge started at 6, I'm mad tired, my dog woke me up barking like 3 times last night, so I barely had any sleep whatsoever cause of it.

I thought up some strategies while I was sleeping in case there is NO shuffle this round and we were to lose the IC. There's two types of strategies that I am thinking of using here and I might go with the one that sounds better and won't backfire in my head.

There is Option A) I get Amber to persuade Sash and Spencer to vote for Courtney, and me and Earl vote for Sash, making a 3-2-1 TC by vote splitting, that way if Courtney has the HII and decides to play it, it would cause Sash to go and that would give my alliance the numbers on Suet.

Then there is option B) Same thing as before, Amber, Sash, Spencer vote for Courtney, and me, Earl, and Courtney vote for Sash (I would have to tell Courtney people are gunning for her, and that if she votes with the two of us, it would save her, or something of that nature), then if she plays it, still results in Sash going home, if not it's a 3-3 tie, and we vote out Courtney in the revote.


I'm not sure which one would work better, Option A would have the easiest chance of backfire if Amber is unable to get Spencer and Sash to vote Courtney with her, and Option B is tricky still for the same reason, but I'm in a position now where I have to roll the dice to stay in this game, it's like one big chess game, I have to make one big move to get a checkmate.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

To explain more about my strategies... The reason Amber would have to try and influence Sash and Spencer to vote with her for Courtney is cause she's original Livy so I feel maybe they would trust her a bit better than they would me, since I wasn't on their tribe from Day 1. I honestly don't feel Amber would flip on me if the tribe got down to 5 of us, I feel I can trust her, even if she is just now becoming more talkative than usual lol . Anywho, there's an hour away for the challenge, so I'm pretty interested in seeing what it will be, and if there will be a switch or not. It will be awesome getting to mix and mingle with some new tribemates, ones that are more talkative and entertaining at least for my sake in this game lol. My whole plan now for a shuffle is to be likable, get people to feel they can trust me, and make sure I'm not a target.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

Well... Looks like we lost. Like geez I guess that game really wasn't in their favor since me and Spencer had the best scores, Courtney completely threw this immunity challenge probably cause she knew she had immunity this round, and it sucks going to TC after this winning streak I've been on since coming to Suet. I didn't get the HII because Katie got it first, which is good for the most part knowing it's in my alliance, and if she had told me sooner, I could have went to the reward board and got a reward to help me, so now I have to rely on a whole lot of luck to remain safe. My plan's out of action because of Courtney being immune, so looks like now it will hopefully be a 5-1 for Sash, but you never know after Amber told me this:

Amber 8:06 pm
yeah but someone msgd me saying earl and sash are friends so i was worried about that :-\

Should I be worried my ally entered with a pre-game partner. Yes I should be. Means now he won't be comfortable voting Sash, but hopefully he won't vote for me. This is going to be one interesting tribal I think, I just hope I can survive it.

Danielle DiLorenzo 10:06 pm

Sash 10:08 pm

Danielle DiLorenzo 10:08 pm
terribly?
Sash 10:09 pm

Danielle DiLorenzo 10:10 pm
yeah, I really wanted to vote for Courtney, and i wanted to be honest and not lie to you on that :-\
Danielle DiLorenzo 10:11 pm
i dont like that she threw this one bit
Sash 10:12 pm
fair enough, good-bye
Danielle DiLorenzo 10:12 pm
good-bye?
:-\
Sash (jello199293) is available 11:04 pm
Sash 11:08 pm
so you think i will be gone by tomorrow?
Danielle DiLorenzo 11:09 pm
idk, im just one vote idk what everyone else is gonna do
Sash 11:09 pm
who will be your next target?
Danielle DiLorenzo 11:09 pm
im not sure, i mean courtney i feel just threw the challenge :-\
Sash 11:10 pm
i dont believe it, she is very competitive. plus it wouldnt have made a difference anyway
Danielle DiLorenzo 11:11 pm
yeah but you didnt see what she did last round? she made sure she was last to post on island 4 to be the first on island 5 to go to grotto and shes had like 3 visits
Sash 11:12 pm
more power to her, she is playing the game like the rest of us
Danielle DiLorenzo 11:12 pm
?


I couldn't hide from Sash in time unfortunately. He's so pissed over the vote being him, and he's gonna either vote me or Spencer this round (Since Spencer ignored him on AIM the entire night.) That whole conversation makes me sick... The fact he supports Courtney and she is the most selfish tribemate on our team is disgusting. He does not see the fact she was super slow on island #4 to make sure she had the first post on island #5 to go to the Grotto, then it's like she threw this challenge tonight knowing she had immunity, Sash is such a blind bastard. Like honestly, I'm sick of Suet, i wish I had a different set of tribemates.


I'm gonna make sure Courtney is out of this game as soon as I get the chance, she's lucky tonight that that 40 pound skeletal frame of hers is wearing immunity.

Sash 11:22 pm
so u dont think i might have an idol, huh?
think i should blindisde u?

LMFAO @ him threatening me.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

The biggest bipolar of the year award goes to... OH WAIT we have a tie between Sash and Melinda for her non-sense rambling rant.

Anywho, Sash after threatening me several times last night finally comes to me and apologizes for his actions last night saying that he was upset and that he was over it now. Then constantly refers to me as a "Spencer cronie" if I vote him out this round, but thing is Sash, it wasn't Spencer's idea to get rid of you this round, it was mine . Well for one, I told Spencer the plan to split votes a little before TC went up, and then when he saw Courtney was immune, he was all for voting Sash out then. I just didn't think Sash felt so close with me, guess that's my fault for talking to him so much daily, and I'm betting Spencer probably feels the same, but I need to avoid becoming a huge goat in this game. It was partly why people weren't voting me out in the last game I played, and this time around I gotta avoid it.

If Sash manages to dodge a bullet and put me out, then this game has been amazing and I wish the rest of the cast nothing but the best of luck, but where there's a tunnel, there's always a light at the end, so I am hoping for the best.

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

I am also hoping for a tribe shuffle if I survive this round, cause there's 14 people and I figure we have to shuffle sometime cause pretty much the tribes are 5-5-4, and Tiberius will be down to 3 if they keep losing, so their tribe could use a good 7-7 shuffle lol. I figure as much it'd be 14 maybe since that's when they did the shuffle into two tribes in All-Stars when there were 3 of them. It's just weird to know this game is almost at the halfway mark, and it started earlier this year. I love games that are really sped-up and don't take forever to get to the end like most do.

Also, forgot to mention Sash tried saying that if I kept him, he would keep me safe until the merge. Although, I heard from Gabe that he played with Sash in another game and he tends to lie unless he likes you, and I mean this guy tells me earlier in the night "I won't be able to trust you if I survive this round" then tells me "I will keep you safe till the merge" Like seriously dude? What kind of herbs have you been smoking?

[Terry Deitz]

I prefer to smoke oregano personally. Reminds me of italy...

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

lmao Terry

[Danielle DiLorenzo]

I try not to mess with those herbs or any kinds of drugs, in the words of Whitney Houston, crack is whack
