It's laaaate Wednesday night, leading into the Thursday of the next challenge. Do you know where your alliances are?

Well, I think I do. I mean, I know where my ALLEGIANCES are. And I hope I know where my alliances are. Still betting on black with James, and liking the connections I've made with Ace and Jamie.

But tomorrow DOES worry me. I don't think those women are gonna crack. And this whole "sit and wait" thing is bugging me. It's never been my gamestyle to actively avoid trying to form bonds with folks. Plus, I'm getting the nasty feeling that one of these upcoming votes is going to involve a "your tribe goes to tribal council, and the top two vote-getters are going home" things.

So, even if we can't get them split, I wanna make them like me. Simple as that. And that's what I've been working on...the ol' "Getting My Captors to See Me as Human and Not a Target" approach.

Oh, and I just wanna say, that in every competition where my tribe has won Immunity or Reward, I'M the one who won it.

- The Maze: Me (despite what Sarge claims)
- Pick a Card: Me (my strategic approach)
- SuDoku: Me (came in first, the girls copied it)
- Word Scramble: Me

Oh, and there's also a huge target on me because of it, I imagine. Great.

And Ace just wrote me this:

I almost hope this is a double tonight just to get it over with and see what happens.


Well...if it's a double elimination like one I am predicting, that would suck, actually.

Do you feel yourself being in a similar spot like the 5 - 5 vote when old Baikal and Katorga "merged?" Are we all just expecting to force a tie and see what happens?

Well, I do feel that I'm in a similar spot, yes...except us four are more communicative than the Old Baikal 5 were. And I know I'm planning on forcing a tie, just because I'm random like that. Plus, none of the women have thrown me an offer (yet), and I may be their target anyway.

I also think (THINK) James is going to press for a tie.

But the tone of Ace/Jamie has changed a little...and can completely see one/both of them jumping ship and not telling the rest of us.

Will be disappointed I didn't make the merge or the jury, but it is what it is.

In what ways has the tone changed with Ace/Jamie?

A little more defensive. Less confident.
