So I am so excited that my tribe won imunity
My goal in this game is to make it into the jury, I'm hoping there is not a tribal reshuffle soon- I like my tribe
After the voting for the first tribal I realized that Rel and I were the only ones who voted in my tribe. I thought it would be a good idea to work with with Rel, so I proposed we work together to her. She accepted. Since then Jason and tomas have started to get involved. Both have approached me about an alliance as well.
I really don't want to have alliances with everyone- but its hard to say no without them targeting you. I trust Rel and Jason, but I have a bad feeling about tomas. I hope we won't have to go to tribal next time either but if we do- I think the best option would be to try and vote out nathan since he is awall. After that my loyalty lies with Rel and Jason not tomas. My gut is telling me that he has approached everyone with the idea of an alliace. But hey I guess I kind of have an alliance with 3 out of the 4 others in my tribe so I'm not much different.

So now the game has changed a little
Our tribe has one 3 of the 4 challenges (2 immunity and 1 reward). We have voted out our inactive member and are now down to our core active members. After the other two tribes go to tribal we will be down to 9. I'm thinking a merger is coming, and I'm trying to develop a game plan. I'm worried that the 3 in jardita and the 2 in boujdour will allign agains my tribe of 4. I definitely think the key is trying to get the boujdour 2 to vote with us. By why would they take final 6 when they could have final 5.
So... here is my plan. Tom and I approach them about joining our 4 to vote out the other tribes 3. But also offer final 4 with me, jason, and the boujdour 2. I mesaged jason about my idea, I hope he goes for it otherwise we may be out in a hurry. I would feel bad about going against colby and mathew after we got to six, but I feel if we don't make this deal then our tribe of four may be the first to go!
Right now I'm waiting on tom's input- I still trust him the most

I'm a little aprehensive with toms response, he kind of seems like he would be supportive of the plan, but then said that when we get to the six we could decide then who to take to the final 4
I don't want to offer ozzie and dreamz final 4 if thats not the plan.
Meanwhile colby seems to agree that we need boujdour on our side, I feel kind of guilty that I'm making deals on the side with boujdour that I'm keeping from him- But I had to pick who I was going to be loyal to, and that was tom- so we'll see what happens.
Colby "If you really are planning on being loyal to me- I'm sorry, but I need to make sure boujdour will side with us otherwise tarfaya will be gone in a hurry"
On another note Tom seems to really be kicking but in the immunity challenge, I think that I'm going to throw it, because if I get close and don't win it, and boujdour does not side with us I would be the first to go. But if I throw and boujdour does not side with us then I think boujdour would target Colby
But ideally boujdour votes with us

Yesssss! Ozzy agreed- I think I made a real power play, and for the first time I really see myself getting deep into this game

I'm thinking that some people are spending too much time worrying about the imunity challenge and not enough time securing votes/alliances... Look at earl he has 400 post. Why work so hard to keep yourself safe for one tribal when you could work just as hard to keep yourself safe for 5? That may be a crucial mistake for the former jardita members
But then again maybe I'm being naive and people will not vote how they have agreed, you never really know in this game
An update- I have assurances from Colby, Mathew, Ozzie, and I'm assuming Tom (my closest ally) and with my vote thats 5 even without dreamz (if he chooses not to agree) but I can't see him not agreeing

Things seem to be going good
Tom told me that earl approached him about a final three deal, Tom doesn't seem to want that deal- since we already have the numbers and why not vote earl a huge threat out now
Nevertheless tom telling me about it made me trust him more

So sylvia apparently voted for me again.
Tom told me that he was going to vote against colby so that colby would have a vote on him as well- again the fact that he told me assures that he does trust me, he is very sneaky I'm glad hes on my side- he always is set on voting the biggest threat out... to be honest a little worried that he could turn on me.
On the other hand the person that I was most suspicous of before, colby is probably the one person I would be most shocked to vote against me. It may be a smart move but I really don't want to vote colby out.
Colby messaged me about the vote, and I tried to throw suspicion on mathew, even though I know that it was tom that cast that vote. Colby believe me that was not meant as of disloyalty to you, just loyalty to tom.
For the first time in this game I'm doubting my alliance with tom. Would he really want to keep me until the end. And if he does would I win against such a gamer. Especially if colby views me as a trader.
I think the smartest move for me would be to get mathew out soon. He is a wildcard and I don't know what to expect with him and he is a strong competitor.

So I'm glad I have immunity but I'm not so happy that my pecking order is pretty transparent now AND that people voted me most liked, and as having the most alliances. Both of those things could put a target on my back. I'm hoping that the others want to vote out Mathew this week
As of now I would like to get Mathew out then the inactives

So things have worked out great- I'm in the final 4 with the people that I wanted to be with
Ozzy won immunity
Which means I'm voting out colby- I'm hoping tom, and ozzy are on board- I wanted to let colby know that I was voting against him, he has been loyal and he deserves that
I hope that doesn't backfire

Colby responded grateful that I let him know that I was voting against him- which was nice but made me a little nervous
He said finally someone is honest
Well I'd like to think that I'm honest but he may not think that when he sees that I pretty much made up several things to point every dirty move that Tom and I made on Mathew- I'm not proud of that- but I think it got me here and may help me in the jury... If I can keep the secret
Why is no one writing back... and why as tribal not ended yet?
For the first time in this game... I'm a little nervous as to what is going to happen

I'm so glad that I made it to the final 2- At this point its up to the jury.
For my first game, I'm proud of myself for making it to the final 2
Lets see what happens.
I would think I would have toms vote ,and I would think that dreamz, and ethan will not be voting .
Im surprised by it, but it looks like I won't have colby's vote which means that its up to sylvia, earl, and mathew.
My guts telling me that I'll get mathews vote, and ozzie will get earl's
So in my mind sylvia will be the decididing vote
Will she vote for me ... I did give her a heads up about her being voted out, or will she see herself in ozzie- the underdog?

So now it looks as though earl,sylvia,ethan,and dreamz will all be not voting Thats too bad On the upside, for the first time in this game (dare I say it ) I think I like my odds at winning this game. I think through my answers I have gained colby's vote. I think I got mathews question right , so I think I'll get his vote And tom is my biggest ally so I expect to have his vote I'm happy to make it this far... I'm a rookie at this, and it seems like some of the others are much more experienced at this type of game- It has been fun. Who knows maybe I'll be selected for allstars Things are looking good

Ozzie- I'm sorry about my closing statement
I must admit I was trying to bait you a little... just to make sure that I would get mathews vote.
But your response was well put, you are here to play the game of survivor not the jurors games
Just my opinion though- I'd rather play a jurors game then to play as a juror

Wow, I'm pumped that I won From what mathew said if tom or colby would have been in the final 2 he would have voted for one of them It certainly was not my plan to go to the final 2 with ozzy but it worked out Tom... You were very close to winning it all! I don't think I would have gotten one vote against you
