So, after getting Erinn and Kim to help throw challenges, looks like we might try to do the same. Seems Matty is trying to work deals - and he's not including Holly and I. I mean, yeah, we'd just say 'yeah Matty... Perfect' and vote him out anyway.... But what about that self ascribed loyalty to The Koblenz Blitz. Matty, I love you, but luckily, I think I've just been one step ahead of you in the race. But I gotta follow my own advice, check my back doors.... And plan accordingly. Maybe we do throw the challenge? Man, I wish I knew when the merge was. But Matyy, you are just too dangerous to keep around. If you find a way to get Lydia the other idol half..... I have no idea what will happen... That's the thing you can easily beat me to in this game. I gotta start working on Rodger. But I'm gonna try a different angle. The backwards Austin angle. I'm going to tell Rodger I'm trying to get Lydia's half so I can give it to him..... Because I feel so bad for prevoting him or something.... Something to get him to hold on to it. We'll see what I come up with... |

And by the way - I have rehearsal from 7 to 10 on Tuesday night. We are doing the court scene for the whole night and I won't be able to lift a finger to do anything in the challenge. |

And another - this time to Matty - calling Marty and Ken 'sour apples' Man - they are such sour grapes when they get down and lose challenges.... Next up, a message for Rodger.... Still no idea what to say to him.

You can offer to be the one sitting out on Tuesday. There's a Koblenz topic about it. |

Gotta do what the BFA wants..... They may want dead weight there..... but I'd rather sit out - I think we need to win it. Matty is scary it - but losing our numbers advantage is scarier - and who knows WHEN you'll merge us........ Darned BROBST - making us think so much.... |

The Bottom Feeders Alliance might possibly be the first alliance in Survivor history that isn't real... HAHA. Lydia came up with the name for Tanya, Lydia, Holly and myself. Since my story has always been what an outsider I am, and how my tribe doesn't understand me - you combine that with Lydia's perception that she was number 5 in her alliance. And you end up with four players who are supposedly the bottom of the pecking order.... ...after we get rid of the other bottom of the pecking order..... of course So the idea is that on KOBLENZ (Matty, Rodger and Frosti) are calling the show. and on TARFORST (Marty, Becky and Ken) are in in contriol. This inter-tribal alliance is meant to take out the tops. Except - Matty never has had the power on this tribe. Clearly Kim has been in the driver's seat the whole time. And the women working together with me became the dominant alliance once Stephen and Danielle were gone. But the story is out there, and Matty hasn't been able to get away from it. I trust Lydia - I really do. And as I have said many times - I could see myself going to 3 with her. But I am still suspicious of Tanya as I am sure she is of me. In my attempts to focus wholly on Austin's life in this game - these relationships serve to get Austin to the end and nothing else. It's an AWFUL thing to say. That my loyalty is for nothing here in Germany. I have these people that I really like, I really trust, I really want to work with. And I have NO IDEA who I plan to be sitting in the end with. I have so many options. So we just see what happens - we take out the threats as they come along. And we keep on trucking. Maybe Tanya and I can be at the end. Maybe it's Holly and Erinn and I.... I honestly don't know. I'm promising everybody everything. And not stopping to think what I want. Only what gets me farther. And should I get to the end, I hope that confessing exactly what my strategy was will be enough to sway the jury. I think I can make the end. I don't think in a million years I can win. But we'll see - gotta try, right? My reputation is gonna be ruined after this - I hope you like Austin - he's gonna be tarred and feathered after this is over... I really do want these people to be my friends after. Please let them understand what I am trying to do and not hate me... |

My attempt to get Matty back in the discussion looks like it has flopped. He read my message about 2 hours ago - and no response. I think the cards are on the table with Matty, Rodger and Frosti.... I need to make sure that the BFA and the 'Girls' Alliance are the dominant numbers at the merge. And to me the only way to do that is to: 1. Ensure that Koblenz outnumbers Tarforst at the merge. (That keeps Lydia and Tanya loyal and not looking to stray back to Tarforst) 2. Ensure that there isn't anyone else the 'Girls' want to work with. In an ideal world: If merge is at 12 - I want to win tomorrow - take Tarforst down one more player and merge at 7-5 (original members) If merge is at 10 - I want to win twice - and take Matty out as the one we lose. and merge at 6-4 (original members) This end game is going to be ALL ABOUT THE MATH. Not my performance, not my attendance, but my relationships - my numbers - my math. I need to talk to Holly again. But I have to be careful as being too strategic - too smart. That would be a threat - I have to be an idiot. I have to keep being Borat. But can I sway the alliances TC by TC? That is the question. Where's the balance between planning and affecting the vote on the fly. And how do I make sure I have my math, my numbers... Lydia knows she needs Tarforst numbers to keep power. She absolutely knows it. If we merge even (6-6 or 5-5) - Lydia will make a play for Holly and I to work with Tarforst - that doesn't work for me. I have 4 people ready to take me to the end. I need to work with those people who trust me - the people who will take me to the end. Not the poor sport Tarforst who complain when they get down in a challenge. Who feel like they are intitled to victory because their names starts with MARTY or KEN. And I can't turn on the challenge threat until the final 6 or so - the point at which Austin shows the jury he never was a pushover - that that was all part of his gameplan - to 'catfish' everyone into carrying him along. I just wish rehearsals didn't interfere with these challenges. Once we get to individual, it's no big deal - but being absent from tribal challenges gets you the reputation of not being helpful. At least this season - that'll get you voted out faster than anything else... So much to do - we probably aren't even half way through this yet... |

Alright - I hope I just did the right thing. I told Holly (almost) the whole plan. I didn't go into specifics on voting order. Too early for that. Besides, I really think I need to be the puppetmaster and call those shots with the unerring rationale within a day of that specific vote. That's more to sway the jury with in the end. That people followed my suggestions. But I just told Holly that she and I can go to the very end if we do this right. And it's totally true - we could. We really are in the best position to do that. With Tanya and Lydia in one alliance and Erinn and Kim in another. It's gonna be a lot of deception to make it happen. And a lot of keeping people from talking to each other... And things come and go so quickly here in Oz. But Holly will either embrace my thoughts - or run screaming and tell somebody else. I either just won this game - or I'm the next to go of Koblenz... |

Oh what a tangled web we weave. I just posted in here and already there is more information. Holly has great ties to people too. She is the one to be attached to. Please let it be a final 3.... Matty is doing so many things and is sure he has numbers in his advantage if he makes the merge.... Learning the little secrets others know.... what Kim says, what Holly says, what Tanya says, what Lydia says.... The thing is - I think they are all true because they all fit together - no jagged edges. The thing is - I think Matty is bluffing - and that is dangerous to do. Otherwise - I'm not the onloy one promising final twos with everyone I can find.... The greatest thing of all - and the beauty of this game. Before the tribal shift, Kim told us all that NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR, UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTHING THAT IS SAID BY ANYONE IS MERELY WORK TO BRING KOBLENZ BACK TOGETHER IN POWER. But we are all believing every little story about what he's doing and what she's doing. And saying they are trying backstab us... Oh Survivor - the game you love to hate.... when you are playing it... I always said the mental mindf*** of the game is 1000x worse than the physical beating. |
