One last comment. I don't buy that Lois and Juliet aren't getting along. It is most likely a cover so they can get info from everyone. Divide and conquer kind of stuff. Actually it wouldn't surprise me if Juliet and Romeo were teamed up and that she was using that same tactic with me before the split. Her message about what a big meanie pants Romeo is was out of the blue and we were not that close. She didn't feel me out and say hey what do you think of Romeo, so she probably know he and I hadnt spoken much. Good bluff Juliet!

yes, Lucy, buttercup, and Johnny are a threesome. the two girls on krypton who don't get along are Juliet and Lois. atreyu is on the outs but a really strong player regardless. Romeo is 100% the next to go from Jedi. it's a shame too. he's such a sweet guy. he and I were very close and I'm pretty sure he wasn't close with anyone else in his game.

as far as Juliet, I told her that her AND Romeo had been mentioned. although I don't recall right off hand who told me that. whoever it was cited a lack of involvement about both. although Juliet had been fairly active. again I had no idea she was out to get me. she had me convinced 100% that I had her vote.

oh and Leia, Johnny was talking a whole lot of smack about you. he didn't like you one bit.

I saw Johnny and Romeo online messaging each other a little while ago, maybe he will pull something off and save himself.

Juliet did not tell me you told her Romeo had been mentioned, only herself. And now that I think about it again, I was wrong, she did not say that you told her Romeo said it. Now I remember that she told me somebody said her name was mentioned, I jokingly said if it was Romeo she shouldnt believe him. She said no, it was Wesley.


I knew Johnny didnt like me. He rarely spoke to me, he would go days without speaking to me. Didn't speak to me at all after Ivan was voted out. Not sure what I did to get on his bad side but I'm sure Lucy and Buttercup had something to do with it. No doubt he hates me now since Lucy and Buttercup both made me decide who to (supposedly) vote for the last two times. I said Ivan first only because he seemed so stressed in his personal life and I felt like it would probably be kind of a relief to be removed from the game. Turns out I was right, he wouldn't have had to quit if they had listened to me. But we ended up winning that challenge anyway.

I think Juliet's tight enough with Johnny and Lucy that unfortunately Romeo won't be able to break that bond. to be honest with you guys I think the next 3 to go are gonna be from bonsai. Lucy spelled out how she thought things were gonna play over on krypton and now the info she gave me is checking out with you guys.

so we know the merge is coming after 3 more votes so it's gonna look like this:

Lucy, buttercup, and Johnny working with rose, Laurie, and Marion.

meaning the best chance for the 2 going back is someone wrangling together those last 4 players.

although max you could probably jump right into that majority, couldn't you?

Don't know whether it helps or hurts in getting your votes to re-enter the game, but yes, I almost certainly could. It might be worth my while - being a returning boot - to go with the underdogs, instead, but that's a lot of work in a short time, that builds on an assumption that might not be accurate - that those six you mentioned remain tight come the merge.

If I go back in and try to hook up with the majority, I'll essentially be 7th man out. Bottom of a large majority alliance.

If I go back in and try to hook up with the minority, WITH the other returning boot, there are a lot of variables I won't be able to control.

There are other options, though. Pull in as much of the minority as possible, and break off a piece of the majority. Which I think I could pull off, with the right Ponderosa Partner.

Yeah. I'm being way honest here, hoping it's appreciated. ;)

Very much appreciated Max. I am positive that Laurie and Marion were tight with Rose before the split. The 4 of us were talking pretty openly about it. Sucks that we cant read our old messages. The next 3 votes will tell us alot more about what is really going on.

I agree with you about hooking up with the minority and picking apart someone from the majority. It will be easy to see who is at the bottom of the majority based on what we find out from the next 3.

Actually if those are actually the 6 that will be the majority, they will turn on each other pretty quickly. I could easily hook back up with Laurie, Rose, and Marion and they would believe me that I am out for the 3 Jedi's too.

Leia, you and I have the same advantage, and the same names at the top of our list. And they've got to know I'd do what was necessary to take apart the former Bonsai Brotherhood.

eager to take them out. all of those guys spoke highly of you and whoevers left of the tribe will be eager to find an out

I wasn't very clear. That's an impression that others might have that I can use. Coming back in like this is not like strolling in on day one - you're starting from scratch, but everyone else is already established. I'm not throwing away any possible "in".

Oh, I'm really not a vengeful person. I couldn't hold a grudge between two strips of duct tape.

Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the latest person voted out

Okay so as you guys already know I pre-swap I was tight with Lucy and Buttercup with Atreyu being the fourth man. If Jedi tribe had gone to tribal council after that first challenge it would have been between Leia and Ivan and it probably would have been Ivan because at that point he was still doing his russian act and we weren't exactly too keen on it.

As for why I rarely at all messaged Leia. Buttercup, Lucy and I immediately shacked up and conversation quickly turned to who to vote out first between you and Ivan. Once Ivan dropped the Russian accent signs pointed right at you. I was a bit of an overconfident moron who thought he didn't have to talk to you. A fault on my part. I did know before hand that Lucy and Buttercup were going to go to you and ask who you wanted out between Ivan and myself and then after myself and Atreyu. No ill will towards you for that. It's Survivor. It's a game.

So I felt solid at the time and after you left we had the swap and I immediately felt that Westley had to go. Like others I kept hearing things that Westley was saying and things that Westley himself had said to me made me very nervous of the guy. You were nicknamed Westley the Weasel and then later became Wily E. Westley the Weasel. Two big thigns that had me worried about you man was that you told me straight up you felt I was a power player (you were right) and that you weren't sure you could trust me so I felt well okay if you don't know if you can trust me then I'm going to make sure you're gone. Clearly we should have teamed up. Also I had Daniel come to me not long after you told me that and he told me that you told him that you thought I was very shady. So that point a big 'ol target on your back in my eyes.

So at the swap I know that Westley is gunning for me. Lucy told me which I believe you did know. We suspected that Romeo & Juliet were both wit you as well. Trip, Romeo, Lucy and myself were supposed to be a foursome but obviously that was either a lie or they later just saw me as too big of a target. My guess is it was all a lie. These people are playing well and my hat is off to then. Lois was the key vote in sending you home. I'm 95% certain that myself, Lucy, Lois and Trip all voted you out. I'm not so certain about Romeo and Juliet however and all through that round suspicions were high about the two of them.

So then you left and Juliet starts to create some chaos and started to really fight with Lois. Which pointed everything all at the two of them and the debate became who goes first. Myself and Lucy wanted Juliet gone. Romeo wanted Lois gone. Trip... Trip claimed he wanted Juliet gone but I'm not so certain to be honest. He doesn't seem like he was truly bothered by what Juliet was doing. Juliet claimed today that Lois sent her a PM accidentally that contained her confessional talking about their love-hate relationship and how she wanted to use it to get rid of Trip. Now I don't know about you guys but I don't know any way that someone could accidentally send a PM to someone of their confessional. Even if she had two tabs open the screens look completely differently and she would have had to actually type in Juliet's name as the person she was sending a PM to so either it didn't exist and Juliet made it up or it was all done intentionally by Lois.

Also after Westley was voted out Lucy came to me with the idea that we should act like we aren't really that close and that we would be willing to vote each other out later on. I was nervous of this plan because somebody could easily test your loyalty and push to vote for that person sooner rather than later. I get a message from Lucy this morning telling me that the plan worked too well and that Romeo and Trip want to vote me out tonight. Supposedly their reason was because I was playing the "absolute best social game". Well apparently not or else I wouldn't have become a target and then voted out.

So we had Lois and Juliet fighting which may or may not have been faked, Romeo and Trip are telling me they will vote out Juliet and Lucy is telling me they really want to vote me out and that they want to not tell either of the girls and they want to blindside them along with me. Now that's just stupid isn't it? WHy wouldn't you go to one or both of the girls and get them as an extra vote just in case Lucy wasn't on board with the plan? I mean c'mon it's simple math. Clearly they did go to one of them and it was Juliet who messaged me once we started voting that I needed to vote Lois out because she was being told to vote for me. So I knew it was going to be a tie.

Tie came. You guys saw what was being said in the tribal council. I was claiming that I wouldn't hold grudges and that I would stick with Trip and Romeo if I managed to stay. Of course as Romeo pointed out that could easily be me just saying anything they would want to hear to save my skin. And it was. If I had stayed Lucy, Lois and I would have voted out the two boys if we went back to tribal. Probably Trip first if I had my way because I saw him as the stronger player of the two.

At the deadlocked tie I was praying for the tie-breaker to be anything but past votes. GIve me purple rocks, give me a tiebreaker challenge just ANYTHING but past votes. I knew if it was past votes then I was screwed and as it turned out it was. But that's the game. It's all about avoiding the vote because they can come back to bite you in the ass later.

So yeah. That's pretty much my story in a nutshell. Feel free to ask any questions.
