Well, that happened. Some of us suspected a shuffle, but I didn't hear anyone suspect a merge. But so far...many of us are thinking it's exactly that...A merge, not THE merge. I suspect it's a chance for us to party on Fourth of July together...only to be reshuffled on Tuesday. Or Thursday. Or Sunday. Of course, I don't know how much I really believe that. Part of me is just saying it so I can at least say it was something on my radar and it won't come off or appear as if I was blindsided. No idea where this goes from here...but right now I know Brobst is either saying "so many of these people believe this is the merge, and it isn't" or "so many of these people don't believe this is the merge, and it is!"

Rewind...to the challenge. We were a well-oiled machine. We were prepared. We got shit done. But...Dave's confidence we were going to win...makes me wonder if they threw it. Luckily, it sounds like they may have kidnapped me (for an hour) instead of Daniel, due to some craftiness devised by Dave. Which, if everyone on our tribe was on the up and up...means Dave would have gone home had we lost and Daniel been kidnapped. As Rob put it, we handled everything with great luck...if we'd gone into a merge at that point, while the original colors would have been 7-5, I don't know if Roger and Janet would have stayed with us. We also didn't tell Deena we were voting out Dave, so that didn't get back to him at merge...and Joanna never saw her name written down, so we never had to explain that. We got REAL lucky. But...could very well see Dave having gotten them to throw the challenge, as they all knew a yellow would go home and we'd be more even.

I even had two PMs crafted and ready to go to Deena and Joanna for damage control, that I was going to deploy the moment Dave was evicted. Maybe I'll post those later...or hang onto them in case I need to them again.

And now the merge. Turns out Roger is on fire...they voted out Janet without telling him the vote wasn't for Heidi. Dave was over there telling stories that we were along old tribal lines (which was true that round, had Daniel been kidnapped, but he doesn't know that). And I'm still not sure what to think. I'm still trusting Dave and Rob...at least short/mid-term...just because. Joanna/Deena, too. And I still think Daniel will be a loyal soldier. But i'm fine at this point letting Roger and Christy go, even knowing that means we'd be down 6-4 (again, original colors), and target to potential Pagong-ing. There are enough crazed folks that play these ORGs, though, who want to make big crazy moves, so I'm not sure a Pagong-ing would actually take place.

So short term goals...see where Christy's head is at; bond more closely with Matt and Alex (secondarily, Shawna and Heidi); make Daniel/Deena comfortable and get Roger to calm down. And be indispensable to Dave.
