To start off...the challenge. I know Deena, I believe, at one point said chalked it up to luck rather than skill. But, there were some strategic elements you could have played with. Once you were down to one item, it paid to immediately ask the next person if they had your item...that way, they had to blindly guess and you wouldn't have accidentally revealed to them you had their item. I wouldn't say, however, that figuring out everyone had the same pair as another person was necessarily "strategic." Unless there was a clue hidden in tree mail to that, it could have just as easily been that half the teams had the same items, and the other half were all scrambled. But I digress. Butch's elimination...it's been a long time coming. And had the other tribe kidnapped Butch, it would have been unpleasant. Which makes me think that Matt CAN be trusted...because he knew Butch was our target, and didn't reveal that (or didn't convince them). But as I said in my Tribal Vote...tribal lines were eliminated almost immediately upon my chatting with Deena and Dave...and then their chatting with Rob and Joanna. They gave as much as they took, information-wise (as far as I can tell). It was 100% mutual trust. Butch, however, who showed up a day late apparently...he never fully embraced the dissolved lines and gave trust. He would ask questions, and after giving him answers I'd already shared with Dave/Deena...he would give nothing back. It was maybe 40% trust to begin with...and peaked at 70% trust. I didn't receive a SINGLE message from him during the voting period. And the fact that his own tribe said they didn't want to have to cover for his poor communications/social game and were willing to vote him out when I floated the idea...I think we made the right decision. But yes...had Butch been kidnapped, we would have voted out Daniel...and unfortunately, it looks like if we lose another challenge, that will the end result, which will be very tough for Joanna, I think...she had a hard time voting out Butch, apparently. But if Daniel gets kidnapped next time? There are plans in motion, but they were hypothetical at best. So I need to reconnect and circle the wagons over the weekend (more on this in a Confessional later this weekend)...while still enjoying not having to babysit an abductee from the other tribe. It will be interesting to interrogate Dave for the hour that he's back before the challenge...and hopefully he'll work some magic over there. If Butch wasn't kidnapped this time...perhaps Daniel won't be kidnapped next time. |
