So...who knew that Deena not making tonight's challenge and (specifically) needing to pre-vote would cause so much trouble. Because we need to plan for the worst-case scenario, which involves several of us turning on each other...when we could very well win the challenge or Daniel might not get kidnapped.

From what I can tell:

  • Rob and Joanna would prefer to vote out Dave
  • Deena is looking for pre-vote direction
  • If we tell Deena to vote Dave...but then we win or Daniel doesn't get kidnapped, the cat is out of the bag that Dave feels threatened.
  • I have no preference over who goes home. As long as it's not me...and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting more involved than I should be. So...if there's a target on my back, I wouldn't be surprised.
So I feel stuck. My temptation? Have Deena just pre-vote for Daniel...and leave it at that. Leave it in faith that we'll win because we can't know how to vote until we hear back from Dave. I don't want to make any decisions we don't have to make that may backfire.

I just need to figure out how to phrase that to everyone.

Well, we landed on a new plan, originated by Rob.

1) Tell Deena to pre-vote Daniel, with Joanna as back-up
2) Our actual targets are (in order) Daniel, then Dave...and Dave only happens if we lose AND if Daniel gets kidnapped
3) I can still change my mind, as a woman does, and vote Joanna with Deena and Dave if push comes to shove...but that would be a minor miracle...but greater miracles have happened

The way we figure it, the odds are slightly higher that Daniel will not get kidnapped than he will get kidnapped. If he didn't get kidnapped, then we'd be stuck having to explain to Dave why he was the back-up target (Deena will for sure tell him, after we vote out Daniel). If Daniel DOES get kidnapped...not only are the odds of this lower, but it seems like it would be easier to explain to Joanna why we told Deena to vote for Joanna. Lower odds of happening (but could still happen) and hopefully lower degree of difficulty.

If we win or Daniel goes home...then hopefully Deena has no incentive to say anything to Joanna about the back-up vote.

Sometimes I hate this game.

Well, there we go...as much as I wanted to phrase my message to Deena as middle-of-the-road and avoid lies...it's a lie. I never said "Rob and I would vote this way" but instead "This is how we think you should pre-vote." The latter is true.

But it was intentionally misleading and I feel like shit. At least she won't be going home because of it. Worst case scenario is Dave goes home and I have to do damage control with Joanna. Knowing she felt like a fifth wheel may make that easier...we got rid of Wheel #1.

Also...if Deena goes to Daniel saying the plan was to boot him all along...I think I can easily deny that. Lies on top of lies.

I try to play this game as loyal and lie-free as possible...but Deena's need to pre-vote really threw a wrench in the works. I'm really hoping we win this challenge.

Dave is back, and pretty much confirmed that their plan is to kidnap Daniel. That's very, very, very unfortunate.

There could be a Plan B to backdoor me (I know, this isn't Big Brother) and if so, they did a good job of hiding. At least I'm not leaving the game overconfident that I'm surviving this Tribal.
