So they have a core five....

We have to even things up soon. We have to take the lead! Don't expect much from Lydia. But if there is a five, there is a pecking order..... You just have to find it. Much easier said than done. But I do think whoever is on the bottom of it will be the most willing to talk.

I need to start working people against Marty.... But I don't want them to think we will target him first.... So we'll see what happens with Lydia. What opportunities present themselves.

We have the numbers over here now. And I'd prefer to win Tuesday so we don't have to draw lines in the sand. This tribe will completely rip in two if we go to TC again...

Must stay focused.

And figure out why those pics wouldn't post last night. I had the answer!

If we didn't "lay Danielle's torch down" last night..........who would you have been voting for?

It would have been Danielle anyway.

We need people who are here to help us.

Well, if voting for Danielle wasn't even an option..........THEN who would you have voted for?

If we would have had to vote anyway last night on top of losing Danielle, I think it would have been Frosti. I think the 'girls' would have all voted that way.

I think he is next to go over here. Either Frosti or Rodger. Rodger again, because of his limited time online. But Rodger is such a good guy that we definitely trust.

And - holy cow - I'm out tomorrow night. Sucks - because it means I can't even access the challenge when I do have down time in rehearsal since I am supposed to be in bed.

Also means I have to lay the ground work for whatever vote is needed by the end of the work day tomorrow.

Gotta get Lydia in here - talk there - and get a plan down for Koblenz....

Couldn't you still at least check in since you've been at the previous challenges, even with the "time difference in Germany," he he

If I check in - someone will see me and I run the risk of having my cover blown. That's what I am concerned about.

I even thought about it last night - I didn't disappear at 5:30 - which is the latest time I have set for myself to be online - that's 12:30am Germany time. I was online until about 7:30pm when I finally remembered that I shouldn't be seen online. I was so eager to see Kim come back. That was when I made myself scarce until about 8:15.

I have to make sure I keep a watch on when I am offline and when I am online - with us spending more time with Tarforst looking for answers and looking for truths... I need to be a lot more wary. And I think they check the status pages to see what you last clicked, where you are now, etc. So - I've gotta have all appearances supporting my story.

That said - if I have down time and can participate, I certainly will. But I am in three sections of Act II - so it looks like I'll be bouncing up and down.

I am trying to help myself by never logging off. Then they can see my last page click was 6 hours before or whatever. I use that all the time to see who is sending private messages to each other.

After roughly 10 minutes of inactivity, everyone "idles out." Meaning, I'd be the only one able to see who never logged out.

Cause, ya know, I'm powerful. :D

Alright - I guess an update on strategy in is order.

If I want to keep playing balls to the wall... I guess I need to put some stuff in here.

1 - Marty - again, let me reiterate that Marty is dead to me. I can't quite understand if Kim is saying that she did get the information from Marty or not. But regardless - I know I gave him the password and he gives me nothing. Nothing like 'hey - you weren't first, sorry dude'. He's a steaming turd of a man here in Germany and I can't wait to see him eliminated from this game. I promise you he does not have the power he thinks he has. And it will come as quite a shock to him when his castle comes crashing down around him. He's one of those guys who has trouble knowing how long 6 inches is, I'm sure... if you get my drift. OVERCOMPENSATION ANYONE? They eliminate Edgardo because he's trying to control the game - Marty = Pot, Edgardo = Kettle methinks.

2 - Becky - what a doll. Like her a lot and appreciate her openness. Laid the groundwork to work with her if I need to. But at this point, I think she feels comfortable right where she is, but she is definitely smart enough not to burn any bridges in case things go south for her. Something Marty is gonna learn REAL fast. I have my foot in the door with her - and can return a favor if she asks. Of course - if I want to return the favor.... what's in it for me?!?

3 - Gonna work Lydia hard tonight and tomorrow. That's my play - and I don't know why my gut tells me she's the one to go after - she's the real way to plan an end game. But I need to have a secret path to talk with her and plan together if I lose all my folks.

Tarforst will not throw a challenge to dump Ami until they know they have the numbers. So that ain't happening tomorrow - it only gets back to even unless they think I am 100% going to protect them - so if that option comes up - you know I'll offer it. We are going to have to earn immunity tomorrow. And I won't be here, darn it. What I would love is to not be here and Koblenz win - stomp Marty's sorry butt. That makes Tarforst see the others as threats and not me.

I've got Erinn. I've got Kim. I've got Holly. And sadly, it has to be in that order.

There is such a part of me that wishes Koblenz would take me out. I have such the exit speech ready to tell them they absolutely did the right thing. I love them all, but my goal was to play ball's to the wall. And I'm sure trying. You have to let us have last words when we get voted out. I need to come clean to everyone as soon as I am out. I want these people to be my friends after.

I am working deals with every person in the game so far. And I hope that in my 'honesty' they don't talk to each other about me. Because if they do - I'm sunk.

Essentially, I am opening every single door I can so I have multiple ways out of this maze. Normally, I would close them all and leave myself one honest, straight-up path to the end with a keyring filled with a hundred keys in case I hit any locked doors along the way and I either earn it through character or get stabbed in the back for being a threat.

But I'm trying something different as you well know. It isn't yet as different as I had planned. But I think Austin has become an interesting character. I really want to know how many people out there believe my crap...

But here's the big question - how much solace do you take in doing well or even winning if you weren't yourself in the process - if you look back and have no idea who that person was that was playing the game.

See, I don't believe that Survivor is a Machiavellian institution.

It is however a science.... and all good science begins with experimentation...

We do Final Words. You did them as "Gretchen" last season at Borneo's epic F4 Tribal Council. :)


Soooooooooo....


Would you be coming clean about everything in your Final Words? The "villain" stuff? The "time difference?" The "character?"

Yes. I would tell my tribe that they made the right choice in getting rid of me. That I wish them all the best. That I hope they win this thing.

I would tell them I am sorry for misleading them. That my strategy was to appear harmless and so I created a persona for Austin.

But I want them to know that it does not change my feelings about each of them. The relationships I forged with them were meaningful. And though the words may have been spoken by a different personality - the feelings behind them were mine.

I love this tribe. I don't think we are going to be successful if I am truly honest. We seem a little too laid back.

But it has been so nice with this tribe. No real drama to deal with other than the stuff I created. So I knew it was bull.

I hope they understand every move I made was in an attempt to be a selfish, greedy, backstabbing, do-whatever-it-takes to get ahead player.... a villain.

But I hope they know that isn't really me after all is said and done. I do care about this whole tribe. There isn't a single person I wish wasn't here.

This is a great tribe. And as I've said all along. I don't like misleading them.

We'll see what happens in the long run - and if I can be forgiven by my new friends.
