So last night.... Anybody wanna guess who the guest was watching the challenge.

MEEEEE

I had a short break after the main scene in act two... Four pages in total to watch and saw them get the frirst point and then saw the AMAZING RODGER go on a tear and rip four points in a row. WOW. Erinn stood her own too. You go girl.

Then as I think they evened the score to 4-2 I had to go back onstage.... Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh.

I am so proud of Koblenz for pulling together. What did I say a week ago.... I know that Rodger is key to our success..... I said that. And good lord was he ever last night.

The best was watching what poor sports Tarforst was. Trying to tell everyone what Rodger was doing. Saying Rodger was the only Koblenz doing anything. Guess they missed Erinn coming in right behind him. Looks like someone doesn't like to lose.

Once I got home. I check to see what else happened hoping I don't have to be kidnapped too. And I see Ami's post. Nice work Ami. I knew I liked you. Cant't wait to talk after.

So, now I have a buttload of messages to read and get caught up.

Glad I'm here. Glad Rodger is here. Koblenz Blitz!

Seriously.... How STUPID do you think we are?

Marty is ABSOLUTELY LYING TO PEOPLE IN THIS GAME. Ami says it, Lydia says it, Kim says it... I mean come on. I wasn't born yesterday.

But he has a good alliance that is helping him cover up those pimple covered chubby cheeks. He's doing something right.

Marty is going to be the person you want to take to the end if people start thinking about it.... anybody could beat him. The president of Syria, Assad, could beat him 7-0. That's what a good guy Marty is.

Doesn't matter - I want him out. Despite how I am trying to play this game - you don't treat people like that. I'll fight to go all the way - but I don't want to win this game. Not the way I've played. I will not be proud of myself when the game is over. That's the difference. I think Marty thinks he's a smart guy who really understands this game...

Clearly Marty is awfully proud of himself. And how he has corralled a group of others to follow him blindly is beyond me. They'll turn on him soon though.

Just hope he gets his soon. And I really hope I'm here to see it happen.

So, since we're almost two weeks into the game and the tribes are even 7 & 7..........how have things changed for you? Or HAVE they changed for you?
i.e. Do you ever have trouble keeping the "Austin" persona up? Or have you totally fell into this character when you're here?

And when you're away from the game, do you ever find yourself communicating online (email, facebook, etc.) and almost still talking like "Austin?" :)

Oh God....

Maintaining Austin is hard. I am sure you can see in my messages how he comes and goes.

When I really get into a strategic planning mode - that is when it is most difficult to keep channeling Austin. It's hard to sound smart while playing stupid.

And since I have a self-imposed be offline at 5:30pm - I play mostly in the office.

After sending a few messages, I have gone into meetings or answered the phone and spoken in very broken sentences.

'Yes, I am thinking we can do that for you.'

DRIVES ME BATTY when I catch myself doing it.

When I do click into Austin gear - it kinda flows now. But you know well mister actor, that sometimes it isn't so easy to just drop a character you are playing and go back into Brett.

It's a challenge. And it is fun playing the character of Austin.

But I look forward to the day Austin gets to be put to bed.

And how about 7 and 7. You know, 7-7 is better than where we were yesterday. Things would have started unravelling if we had to vote Rodger out last night. First, he's proven to be easily our strongest player. Even the night of Piece by Piece - it was Rodger's guidance that SHOULD have helped us. But everyone listened to stupid Austin.

I don't think my position has changed based on the numbers.

I think I have a strong core 4 with Holly, Kim and Erinn.

I clearly have a strong 2 with Erinn.

I clearly have a strong 2 with Kim.

I need to work on Holly soon - now that she is back.

And now, with the Lydia potential - I can get all the way to the end - depending on when the merge happens....

If Koblenz is really willing to stick together - we have 7 strong. Of which 3 are on the outside.

If I get Lydia and she can even bring me 1 more person - her's how it goes....

What challenges we lose - Frosti, Matty and Rodger have to go - in that order.

I need Rodger to make the merge - because he proved himself to be a HUGE threat last night. Get Tarforst focused on him. Not us.

With the '4 Girls' alliance (my reference, no one else calls us that) - I want Lydia to bring me one person from Tarforst to make a final 4 deal.

Here's how it goes. Assuming a merge at 11 or 10.

KIM-ERINN-HOLLY-AUSTIN-LYDIA-+1

The 4 Girls alliance says we go to final 4.
I tell Lydia that Kim (or Erinn) and I go to the final four with them to keep them.
I tell Lydia she's got three. I tell Lydia she's got a 2.

And the boot order goes like this for final 10....

??? doesn't matter
??? doesn't matter
??? doesn't matter
??? doesn't matter
Holly
+1
Kim
Lydia
And leave Erinn and I at the end

Some of those names are interchangeable - but you get the idea. Keep each alliance thinking everything is as we've always planned until the blindside. But at that point, everyone else has to think it's all still ok.

I really need to think about who I want to sit next to at the end should I be so fortunate.

And we could very easily be looking at a final 3 instead of a final 2 since we started with 18 players....

So this is really just direction. Names can and will be shifted around.

But that is what I am working on. And I think it gives me the best chance to win this thing.

I just have to not get caught along the way in my deception.

Erinn busted me last night - saw me online when I wasn't supposed to be and sent me a private message. I have to be very, very careful or everything I've worked on unravels.

And this has been a LOT of work. a LOT of maintenance.

I can't leave Holly out in the dark. Gotta talk to her very soon. I think I messaged her this morning to get us back on track. The two of us have never promised any relationships deep into the game.... That is why Kim, Erinn and Lydia become so important to my endgame....

I may have some trouble with Kim. She's one smart cookie. And I don't think she's going to be for abandoning Koblenz just to win the game....

My idea on how to incorporate Lydia wasn't a huge hit with her. I know it's still really early to plan that far ahead - so it's ok.

I laid the groundwork. Need to chill a little.

Here's you another 'Austin-ism' for the record books....

Just posted in a message to the whole Koblenz tribe....

It is almost bedtime for bongos....

Someone is sure to laugh their ass off at me over that one.

OK - Making good use of some quality time with Holly, I hope.

If they think you are honest, they won't go around your back to see if you are consistent...

The only potential problem here is that the tribe may think I am getting too nice with Tarforst. But we have said publicly that we will do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to attain the security for ALL KOBLENZ.

That's all I'm doing.... right?!?
