Holy Hell
I can not believe it. Seriously thought they were going to blindside me.
*PHEW* Moving on.........

Re-shuffle...re-adapt.
Galloway- Dawn, Rocky, Eliza, Kim, Troy & me.
how the hell do I keep winding up w/Troy? I'll never know - but, we're going to continue to keep it on the down low. It seems to be working.

Hoping to pull Eliza back in. Rocky wanted to talk - told me he & Cindy were close. & that she, me & Troy were too. I told him Troy & I don;t talk as much as ppl think we do. But, I did say I liked working w/Cindy. maybe that is my in with him.

Again- who is the bigger threat at this point? Rocky, Kim, Eliza or Dawn?
Who needs to stay my ally?

More answers tomorrow.

I think I've had about 2 1/2 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours.

Goodnight & hope your rehearsal has been going well.

Seems like another cluster****
Rocky is wanting me out (via info from Troy)
Troy wants to stay loyal- he said there is no way he's voting me out. But Rocky is bending his ear.
Rocky seems to be falling back into good graces w/Dawn & Eliza.
Kim is adamant about not voting me out. She's testing the waters.
Dawn is hardly around & nor really wanting to talk much (par for the course)
Eliza seems to want to work w*Marcus & Troy & Kim

But that is all up in the air if everyone is seeing that Troy & I are close- they want to break up a couple. SON OF A BISCUIT EATER.

SOooooooooooo I approached Rocky & told him we needed to think about working together. I made it clear, yes Troy & I have been close, but we have not formed a final alliance. We both realize it's a game- but I also told him, he would stay loyal to both of us.

I also threw Dawn's name out there- basically stating she's a wildcard. She hasn't been around or had a connection with anyone and has a poker face. She could tell you one thing & turn around & say something to another. She's non committal.. That is death especially going into a merge.

I told Rocky it would be cool to have #'s going into the merge, and if Cindy stayed loyal with Lill, we could make a good final four (that nobody will expect).

We'll see if he takes the bait. I had to do something to stay afloat.

ARRRGGGGGG ADAPT ADAPT ADAPT!

I'm about ready to throw a cat across the room.
First things first, i want Rocky gone 1ST! If I can;t have that Dawn, sorry chicka. You're not around much. That maybe beneficial to some, but not me.

If I keep my eye on the prize, I have to be willing to make the hard decisions & vote for people I trust the most. That being said...I trust them- but, I also know it's a game & people are doing the same thing I am. They will throw me under the bus as quickly as possible to save themselves. I get it. But, I have to do it before they do it to me.

Adapting for me THIS SEASON - I was focused on making sure I have "friends" on the jury so that if/when I am in the FTC, I know I'll get votes. But, the lightbulb went off & how people will vote is not because they are your friend....it's how did you outwit, outplay & outlast them. Building a trust & relationship is huge in this game, but if you don't show your wits and can back your game up- then you've got squat.
I have to vote people out sooner than I want to to get where I need to be. (ie. Penny)
I have to throw people under the bus to get where I need to be. (ie. Dawn)

In the past I was so focused on making sure I was friends with everyone. At this point in the game- when there is a clear target on you back. You don't go out w/guns a blazing....you turn the chessboard around & throw another option in their face that MAYBE they have not thought about.

I know I'm beginning to babble. Sorry Brobst. Sorry players reading this after the Reveal!
Troyzan, I love you... <3 #mancrush #Marzan #Troycus

I notice that in every single game of mine you've played...... usually around Round 2 or at least by Round 4, you start talking about
who should be on the Jury, Jury management, Final Tribal Council, who should sit next to you, what you would say, etc. etc. etc.

But you've never actually made it to the nitty-gritty of the endgame. (other than F4 in Germany) Sure it's great to think ahead,
but do you ever feel like you spend more time thinking about the end instead of all the roadblocks in actually GETTING there?

And this is probably a similar version of the same question I ask in every season when you start talking about the end.

If you're trying to get "home"........ what's more important: Thinking about the final destination?

Or paying attention to the roadblocks you could crash into that prevent you from ever reaching your destination?

Yes, I know - I look to far down the road too soon.

And yes, I need to focus on the damned roadblock in front of me. How do I move them? How do I place them in front of others?
There is way too much game to be played for me to worry about who's on the Jury. I just need to worry about each round at this point.

Not sure if I'll make it out of this one if we lose.

All in the same breath, I've got a boat load of work to do in the next 2 weeks (including out of town guests visiting and prepping for
an Eagle Scout court of Honor ceremony & reception). YIKES!

So if I go, it'll be a blessing in disguise, But, I'm still fighting!

had to put out fires. I KNEW Rocky would forward the PM to Dawn & Eliza
it just proves how distrustful he is. The thing that hopefully saves my ass in all of this ...I told ELiza & Troy about it last night.

Today I responded & PM's all the girls & told them what I did (including analogizing to Dawn). Dawn chatted the most & came clean about her voting me while in the dungeon. That was the most real convos I've had w/her & I acknowledged that to her. Hopefully, building up trust w/her. Told her nobody would see the 2 of us working together.

Made nice nice w/the ladies (apparently they want me to be their pimp- I told them I'd rather be called a sugar daddy). I'm not responding to Rocky.

If we lose I'm voting Rocky.
