Interesting observations Joel. Julie is definitely playing an aggressive game. Her social game seems to be on point as she seems to have relationships with everyone! I'm trying to figure out what's been happeninig here tonight but all I can see is that Brooke got voted out. So I guess she didn't use her advantage? (very interesting) Did you say she has a hidden immunity idol as well or just an advantage? I'm not seeing anything else at this time. The tribal council thread ended at "bring me your torch" but then the thread ends right there at page 5. No smuffing or "the tribe has spoken" or anything. I wonder if the board is being finicky with me cuz it seems like there should be more happening. No signs of a double boot either. |

I won't have a hug waiting for her...I'll have this because she hurt me in the game when I thought we were together...

As far as I know, she just had an advantage. She'll have to clarify, but I think that the advantage allowed her to cancel somebody's vote. No idol was in play as far as I know. |

LOL Joel. I'll have that face for pretty much everyone, Excited to see what info Brooke has to share though. So then apparently Brooke didn't use her advantage. I think she got too many votes so it probably wouldn't have mattered. I'll have to go double check. I wonder if she knew it was coming? I'm pretty sure Brooke, Amanda and Sierra voted for me the last round just because they knew it wouldn't matter and didn't want to have to write down a name. I think Rudy's position in the game might be improving. From the looks of things, Julie is working pretty closely with him and Diane, and I believe Rudy has gotten pretty tight with Todd as well. So there might be an alliance of five with Rudy, Diane, Todd, Zeke and Julie from what I'm seeing. Will be interesting to see how this next round goes! My board is finally showing more now! Time to go see what's shaking! |

That would be something on your end of things. If something ever looks off, just refresh the page. Or refresh it a second time. That tends to work more often than not.

Dang! Looks like the original Limerick tribe (minus Julie) is getting decimated! I'm so bummed that the secret immunity didn't work out for them this last round. It would have been so awesome if it had! I'm super surprised that Zeke and Todd haven't had any opposition and are firmly settled in the final 6! Will they be the targets for the next round? Between the two of them they have had an iron tight hold on immunity for almost every challenge since the merge! Sierra is kind of a wild card now at this point in the game, with a lot of power to decide how things go from this point. I don't see her being a target anymore. I think the other players will try and utilize her vote to get rid of bigger threats. I wonder who she will decide to work with? I'm guessing it would be Todd and Zeke. Sierra is pretty steadfast with her loyalties and I would be really surprised if she sided with Rudy and Diane, as she has never been fond of them and their way of playing. I wonder what her relationship is like with Julie at this point? I guess that would be the determining factor. A bigger questions is who Julie decides to side with? I'm guessing she would prefer to work with Rudy and Diane. However, the next vote could very well end up in a tie so she might have no choice but to side with Todd, Zeke and Sierra. I think winning this game would be really hard though if she does decide to go that route. On the other hand, the other five players could just decide to go the easy route and take out Sierra. That would probably be the best option for Julie, Rudy and Diane. I wonder if Zeke and Todd would go for that though as it definitely would not be in their best interest. So my guess is that things are looking very bright for Todd and Zeke. |

Sorry, had to catch up! Joel, I actually really do like you and I'm sorry for upsetting you. I never felt that Bubba was with me, and while I like you, you stopped talking to me and most other people as I was told after he was voted out. I never really knew where your head was at, and I was trying to keep my alliance strong. Julie will literally throw anyone away in the game. I like her a lot, but she's not loyal to anyone but Julie. It's working out very well for her and that's the whole point so I can't be too mad lol. Cirie, I like you, too, but the vote where you went was all strategy to pull in Dublin to have the numbers going into the double. It sucked and I'm not proud of it, but Julie said you told her you would vote out Amanda and I ran with that to Sierra and Amanda to get the numbers if we needed them. Which we didn't and they didn't vote for you, but that was just game. Amanda and Sierra are some of the most loyal and laid back players I've ever seen and they were genuinely upset, but I was playing with Julie to the end and that was my stupidity. I mean look where it got me lol. I am sorry for that. I never had an idol, it was only ever those two advantages Ozzy talked about and even if I had used mine tonight to take Zeke's vote like I planned, it would have just tied and I'd have gone in a re-vote. I was toast from the start. Also, I saved Sierra tonight thinking they'd target her and Rudy would go and in that insanely close vote, it ended up being Amanda. I feel like a total idiot right now. |

Wow that's crazy! It was Julie that did that? Holy moly. I figured it was either Todd or Zeke! Dang, I feel really bad now for what I said to them before tribal council. I was so confused as to what was happening the day I got voted out, I was totally scrambling in desperation mode even though I knew I was sunk. If I was gonna go down, I wasn't gonna make it easy for anyone. lol. I think I might have made things worse though as I was completely in the dark as to how the tide had turned. I just couldn't fathom that Julie had turned on me despite all evidence to the contrary.I can't believe she tattled on me about the backup vote being Amanda because that was her plan as well! Sneaky Sneaky! In all honesty, I really didn't know what to do if Joel won immunity back then. I didn't hear much from Amanda and I wasn't totally sure where her loyalties were, so that was the only reason I considered voting for her. Honestly, I would have been solid with Limerick, but I was almost positive that Julie had other plans and without her, we didn't have the majority. My best bet for a backup alliance was Rudy and Diane since I did have some history with them and we had managed to sort out our differences. She is really good at getting people to believe she's with them because its looking like almost everyone that's been voted out thought they were working closely with her and are here because of her! lol It seems to be working for her so far, so I can't be mad either. That doesn't mean she has earned my jury vote though. There's no such thing as a bitter jury in my book. Jury management is a crucial but often overlooked part of the game. I'm not sure what you meant by bringing in Dublin to get the numbers as we "supposedly" had the majority with the 5 limerick ladies. Who was your closest alliance? I realize I didn't talk to you much in the days before that vote and that was my fault.. I just had a hard time keeping up with messages and sometimes the best I could do was to just reply to the messages I had gotten. I just thought that you and Amanda were busy with real life. After we talked that night, I felt confident that we were good. No hard feelings though. All's fair in Survivor. I would really like to understand wtf happened though. lol I so wish limerick had stuck together. It seemed so improbable that we would make it to the final 9 with all five of us, so I will admit to shopping for backup alliances myself. But lo and behold, we did make it! lol. I guess it was too late by that point though to come back together. Ahh well. I agree Amanda and Sierra are both solid and loyal players and total sweethearts to boot. I didn't realize that at first, but eventually I did. I'm totally rooting for Sierra. I would just love to see her throw a wrench into everyone's plans and take this all the way! ![]() I really enjoyed playing the game with you and am so looking forward to partying down with you here in Ponderosa! Let's have some fun!

Brooke, I actually talked to people, they just didn't talk back to me. LOL. I didn't message you just cuz I didn't trust you after the Bubba vote. I wanted to msg you but felt it was useless....Amanda just never gave me anything really to work with so that wasn't going anywhere. I tried....people just didnt want to hear anything.... it's all good.SO..... is Julie becoming the villain? Diane - the goat Rudy - the master manipulator Julie - the backstabbing villain Sierra - the cute "let me make jokes so I'm not a threat" Todd/Zeke - Malcolm/Eddie/Reynold duo trying to survive with each other That's how I feel.. opinions? |

Amanda didn't have a lot to do with what I did or how I felt about people. I don't mean that in any sort of negative way, but again...we just didn't talk that much other than chatting and confirming votes and stuff like that. Most of my strategy talks were with Julie and then Sierra where I was honest and then Rudy and Zeke where I was trying to get information for my group. Todd barely spoke to me, same with Diane and Amanda popped in as she was able mostly after we'd already come up with a plan. I assume the idea that I was closest to her is due to Julie. Neither of us advertised that we were working together, I didn't talk about her at all so that we wouldn't be a target. I trusted Amanda the same as I trusted Sierra and I loved playing with them both, but there was no heavy strategy between the two of us most of the time. I'm sorry things ended up the way they did for you, Joel...I'm really not sure what was going on with you and Bubba, but it just didn't feel a lot like you two were truly with me (way more on Bubba's end than yours like I said...but you were clearly with him and I couldn't see making it anywhere with him in the game. I wish I'd understood him better, he was interesting to talk to, although he made about as much sense to me as Rudy did...:P |

It's been enlightening to hear how I was perceived in the game. Mostly what I'm hearing is that people didn't know me very well or that I was quiet which isn't how I expected to be perceived at all. I guess I didn't realize how much time was involved in playing this game. I felt like I put a lot of time into it but it seems not nearly enough! I found it really challenging trying to find a way to make new relationships after the merge. There were so many people that I hadn't met yet and i didn't have a lot of game info to share either. I found myself saying "id love to work with you at some point" over and over. Lol. I just found it really hard to find an "in" with new people so far into the game. I didn't mean to ignore you Joel, I remember us joking around a little bit but I didn't feel like you were on my side after the first vote. At the merge, I mainly wanted to stay alive and keep limerick around as long as possible. When I heard that you were the target after Bubba, I was ok with that so I didn't think I should spend time trying to get to know you if I was just going to vote you out. In hindsight, i see the error in my short sighted thinking and would do things differently if I could do it again. I definitely made a TON of mistakes in this game but I am trying to learn from them. Many people have told me what a great guy you are and i totally agree with them! i bet if we had been on the same tribe, we would have become great friends in the game. I'm glad to have a chance to get to know everyone better while in the jury though.

Brooke I mean to mention that to you as well. Like I said before, I had a rough time trying to keep up with this game and I guess I was so busy trying to feel the new people out, I neglected my own alliance in the process. I figured you were tight with Julie, so since I trusted Julie so much (lol) I didn't worry much about you. I also thought you were super tight with Amanda. I'm not sure why really to be honest. Maybe It was the whole ruse about me wanting to vote Amanda out. That whole thing had me completely confused and disoriented. Lol. Looking back it all makes perfect sense now! In any case, I really wish I could have a do over. I would do soooo many things differently, the biggest thing being staying closer to you. Maybe then you would have felt better about the limerick alliance and we wouldn't be here. I've always thought you were super sweet and funny. I actually voted you for the funniest person iirc. Oh if I only had a time machine! |
