OK - so it's Day 27 in Germany.. but not in Oklahoma City.... And Austin just accused players of 'talking out of both sides of face.' I just took the reigns back and Austin has now really crossed over into the realm of evil. I told Erinn EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERYTHING. Am I going to the end with Erinn - no way. If I have to work this hard to get her to trust me.... Kim and Holly are much easier to strategize with. They COMPROMISE... The big question is who have I NOT thrown under the bus yet today. I meant what I said to Lydia just now. Erinn is at a crossroads... If she discusses my plan with me - she'll survive a pretty long way - maybe to the end. If she shuts me down, SHE WILL GO HOME TOMORROW. There may be a double elimination. But Erinn will get 6 votes out of 10. I sure hope you work with me Erinn. I love how Austin can get his English just screwed up enough that what he says doesn't quite make sense but you think you get it. And it sounds worse than I meant it. The message I sent to Erinn is no shit, the longest message I have ever sent in my life. A diatribe about every single player in the game. Including myself. Every secret out in the open. Every consideration written for consideration. We'll see what she says back. She sure doesn't want to vote for a Koblenz. And she doesn't have to - but I can still send Ken and Rodger packing in one vote if we have a double elimination. And if there isn't - I can make sure it is Ken next because he has more votes cast against him than Rodger. So many assumptions in here about how a tie would work. But Lydia is ready to give up her idol half to someone who would put it to good use. GEEZ... NO WAY - Think! So - after a day of wondering what to do about people wanting to vote out two of his allies - Erinn and Lydia. I've gotten the target off Erinn and back on to Rodger. Now I just have to get it off of Lydia and on to Ken. Let's see if this works. And bring more evil to the table if it doesn't. I'll flip this game upside down with Holly. |

You mean you told Erinn that your entire persona is this game is made up? EVERYTHING about how you're faking the foreigner routine and all that? |

Well, I've been catching up on any PMs I missed while at WhoDunit rehearsal tonight..........and from every PM you've sent, it looks like by "EVERYTHING" - you just meant that you laid out what you think of each player right now as far as options go to Erinn. But you definitely had me curious...... |

Yes. I do not give up my secret identity. Crud.... Austinese again... Sorry... Yes. I am sticking to the plan of not giving up my real strategy. But I do give her everything Austin can give.... (dang - I did it again)... But I have told her something a little juicy out there on everyone I can... Some little illustration on how hard everyone else is playing this game. And threw in a little hint that Kim and Holly are turning on her. Just making her realize her actions have changed the dynamics of this game... She should respond, because holly has already put together a completely different plan that gets BFA and Kim to the end. There can still be a Holly Austin Kim final.... It's terrifying to let go, but sometimes you HAVE to put your trust in other people. You can't do everything by yourself.... |

Also - once again, don't expect me to be doing anything in the challenge. I hope to be refreshing my screen so it looks like I'm trying. But don't wait for me. Now - I am off to get Sugar in my corner.... Gonna need her. |

I bet your head is spinning right now. I know mine is. Erinn is pretty chatty with me. A little defensive. A little frightened by what I said. And now open to doing what it is that keeps her safe. I need that. I know I'm nuts - but I really want a double elimination tonight. I really hope we get that. I am pretty darned confident that we are ending with a final 3 since we started the jury at 11. That would make a jury of 8.... So I like that. One less person to turn on. And all I (think I) know is that Holly is one of those three. The other one is up for grabs. Who is gonna rock the boat the least. Every single person I have left is going to have stabbed many players in the back - so I have to go after the challenge threats. The social threats don't matter any more. IF my numbers work out. that's a big if. Call me Anne Frank - I know - but I do believe that Holly and Lydia are 100% honest with me. No questions. And I'm pretty darned sure that Kim and Erinn are too. That's what I wanted. So I hope it works out. Tonight is BIG! And I still don't know what is going to happen - so many options on the table still. |

And as far as making plans.... I'm betting hard on a double elimination and a final 3. We'll know soon enough.... What would that do to timing... Feb 5 - Double Elimination (8 remain - day 27) Feb 7 - Elimination (7 remain day 29) Feb 10 - Elimination (6 remain day 32) Feb 12 - Elimination (5 remain day 34) Feb 14 - Elimination (4 remain day 36) <3 <3 <3 Feb 17 - Elimination (3 remain day 39) Final Tribal Council Feb 19 (day 41) There could still be a Feb 19 elimination to final 2 (day 41) - so i guess I need to plan for that eventuality. I haven't been right about anything yet... And final Tribal then happens either Feb 19 or Feb 21. (up to day 43) With the reunion on Feb 24 no matter what. I'm free that night... Man - the game ends tech week of To Kill a Mockingbird. This is really gonna be difficuly. If I can pull out a victory planning the votes this far ahead I should get a cookie or something... This is going to be near impossible to manage without winning immunity. but I don't see how I can win any immunity ever. But I promise a double elimination is coming up - I'm sure Brobst won't go 45 days here... Not sure how long he normally goes - I just know that Borneo was 39 days. The question is when is the double boot... Tonight or Thursday? And how much do I want to risk a tie vote on the theory that it happens on a specific day.... Playing with Fire... And I'm no Katniss Everdeen unfortunately... |

Why can't we just vote out all the threats.... I do say this - as I expect to be on the jury... I have nothing but respect for all the people playing this game. Of everyone here - I'd have a tough time voting for Sugar or Rodger just because they aren't here very much. The others play a lot harder. Is it just me, or was the Borneo cast online a whole heck of a lot more than this bunch. There's NOTHING happening in the Trier Camp. Everything is in private messages. This group is really hard core when they play - but they are so wishy-washy on when they are actually online. Or maybe I just never see them because I disappear. But I haven't been keeping a very good German schedule lately. And still limited people online. |

Well make them stop. Because this is HARD!!! (That's what she said...) I've been wanting to say that this whole game. but I'm pretty sure that Austin doesn't understand that joke... I might just be able to save Lydia.... but it's going to come at the expense of Tanya... I'm trying to turn it on Ken.... but I'm the only one saying his name.... Come Erinn - think here - this ain't a democracy. This is a 'What gets me to the end' decision. Turn it onto Ken. If it has to be Tanya - then so be it... I have to figure out how to tell Lydia. |

So, in your PMs, I've seen you mention various targets over the past couple days, but Ken was never one of them. Are we on Ken now? Where is everyone else as far as a target option is concerned? And has a possible Tanya target just come from left field? What's the talk of the town? |

I get them to focus on Ken. I have pounded and pounded and made half-truths to show that he is working a brand new deal. I have to be careful, because I am not sure that Holly or Kim want me to tell anyone this so I have to base it on my discussion with Ken and trying to get him to put me in a final four with him. It was a sneaky little suck-up of a conversation that went as I wanted. he basically said he doesn't need me now but maybe in the future. But Koblenz is all freaked out over the duo of Lydia and Tanya. And I have to keep Lydia here. She will take me to the final 3 guaranteed. I need that assurance. So - my only option was to see what every Koblenz named as their target and backup. (4 singled out Lydia as primary - 3 singled out Tanya as secondary) I put the target on Ken AGAIN. I'm nothing if not consistent. And then in a last ditch effort to save Lydia had to throw my secondary target onto Tanya. I believe that Erinn now understands why Lydia is so important to Our in game (please read that as MY end game) - and I hope we can get Koblenz to go onto Tanya instead. I have already told Lydia this is the only way I can come up with to save her. I thought of putting the target on Sugar - and tried a backhanded way to push some attention there by calling out how little she is online. But nobody sees her as a threat. Tanya will only be in trouble if it is a double boot. And I am seriously thinking of protecting some ground with old Koblenz by voting with them. I mean - what difference does it make... really.... Gonna work on a new final three with Sugar and Frosti in case I need it. (I'll call it my 'Sugar Frosti Flakes Alliance') - don't know if they are open. But they are both on the outside. Maybe they bite. And I get myself another way to the finals.... |
