Well, by taking out Spencer & not informing Eliza or Kim.....is never a good thing.

They just lost trust in me (and Troy). I'm going to have to do a lot of groveling to get back in their good graces. But, it will also take some convincing to keep Andrea, Cindy & Lill with us. If we can take out Dawn next, we'll be good to go.

My thought is, will Kim & Eliza team up w/Andrea & Cindy to tell them "Hey, Marcus & Troy SAID" they were with us the whole time. How do you know they won't flip on you". My response will be I have no reason to flip. Cindy & I were tight at the beginning.

Andrea & I cleared the air @Penny & have been cool ever since. Eliza I completely regret not pulling her in. Kim? Well, she's been a good ally, but the entire game, it seems as she distances herself in some respect. Others have said the same thing.

Uggg, my PM box has been quiet the past 10 minutes.....no bueno.

Alright, so here's what I'm hearing now. SO much drama. I get enough of this at work in the high school setting. THIS? Is about 1000x worse.

Apparently, Andrea, Cindy, Lill, Troy & I have made an official final 5 alliance. That means Kim, Dawn & Eliza (The Three Musketteers) are not. I have not heard anything from Cindy since Friday. SHADY- especially since she's chatted with Andrea & Troy.

Eliza seems to be the one most forthcoming with information. She wants me to keep things a secret. She said Dawn & Kim want to vote me or Troy out Galloway 1.0 is tight. I tried to deflect with my "shield" and threw out Cindy's name. Ya know, when people tell you to keep something a secret...it's never good. After that PM, Troy came back to me telling me (from Kim & Eliza) that Dawn wants Lill out. He also said Kim approached Andrea w/a final for but did not offer names.

The majority want Dawn out. (plan A). Plan B seems to be Kim at the time. However, it seems unsettling. As if they are not sure. Because
Troy mentioned Kim approached him & said final 4 with him, me & Andrea. I have yet to hear from Kim about this option, so I am not taking it to heart. Why would Troy say he wanted Kim out, if he was contemplating having a final 4 with her?

Troy-has valuable information. He is working everyone left in this game- he's got of connections and is running this show with Andrea and Kim. I know he trusts me, But, I think I'm here more as a sounding board as of late instead of a true ally.

Andrea also mentioned (earlier this evening) Dawn was targeting Troy & me (Galloway 1.0). Then Troy mentioned he heard Dawn is targeting Lill- b/c me & Troy would not vote out Cindy. It seems Troy wants out of the final 5 alliance. He has made WAYYYYY too many connections

In games past, I've been know to sit on my hands and weight for an opportunity to happen so I can make a big move. Guess what Brobst? It just might happen this next round. Right before the challenge. My son told me- "Mom, you can't wait any longer - you've got to take him out now." I will use the info he sent me about Kim wanting Dawn out & send it to Dawn and use the info @him contemplating a deal w/Kim in the final 4 & send it to Cindy & Lill. Go big or go home, right?

The big question is....if I get this blindside to work this round, will any of them trust me next round or the rounds after that? Or will I be following Troy into the jury?

OR if I look like the bad guy, everyone will want to take me- b/c they think nobody will vote for me on the jury- they all hate me for voting them out.

I need to prove to the others (Eliza, Cindy & Lill) that Troy & I are not a strong alliance & pass along this information. I also might want to throw out a little white lie that Troy threw out Andrea's name to me.....

Now, with all that said......my heart hurts- cuz, gosh darn it, I like Troy. He's been nothing but cool with me. This is not the game I normally play- and maybe that is why I never get to the end. If I am truly playing to ADAPT or DIE? Then, this is the round I have to switch it up...before he or someone else on that alliance of 5 beats me to it.

Troy, you have your hands in the cookie jar way too deep. As much as you are helping my game by gathering all this information....at times, not only is confusing. But, you are placing a bigger target on your own back w/how social you are. At this point you are a liability to me. I pray you will forgive me & that I earn your respect in the end.

If this works & Troy is booted? I'd have to get rid of Kim or Dawn next. Doesn't matter which one. Which ever does not win immunity. If neither win immunity, I'd take Kim- I think- she has the middas touch & can sway people her way.

But, if I can get Eliza, Cindy, & Lill around as a final four, that might be my best option to win this game. Not sure they have made any earth shaking moves or have really connected with anyone. Andrea, Kim, Dawn- have played great games- social/strategic.

GOD HELP ME- I really need immunity!!!!!!!!! lol

ADAPT, ADAPT, ADAPT................go big or go home.

It has begun.... the 1st PM sent to ELiza....
Dear lord, please do not have her pass this info on to Kim or Troy.
+++++++++
Eliza
I was told Dawn was the 1st vote & then Kim is 2nd. Then I was told by Troyzan that Dawn wants to target Cindy b/c Galloway 1.0 is tight. Which is a bunch of BS.
A couple of things
#1 Cindy is rarely on & talks more w/Andrea & some w/Troy. She barely speaks w/me. When she does, it seems she's honest, but has a lot on her plate. And her PM's are brief and agreeing with whatever the majority is.
#2 Troyzan is the ring leader & basically gathers all the info & makes the decision (I think is tighter w/Kim than he leads on). He is one of the biggest threats in this game. He has ties w/everyone.
#3 Troy, at one point, was back & forth with the Kim as a back up vote and pointed the vote your way. During that time he mentioned Kim approached him & wanted a final 4 -but never mentioned who the other 2 were. THAT makes me nervous that Troy is chatting it up that much w/Kim. If he is so true & loyal to the alliance of five, then why is he, at one moment, entertaining an option w/Kim and at another time throwing her name as a back up? It's inconsistent.
#4 I've never been fake. I have been cautious & have only voted when I felt as if there was a threat to my game. Not b/c I am "following" a pack (Troyzan).
#5 Am I putting myself out there & being brutally honest & risking my ass in this game- this round specifically?YES. But, if we allow Troy to coast any long, that guy wins this game. If you are reading between the line at to where I'm going with this, we are going to need Cindy, Lill & Dawn to take care of business.
#6 out of all the players, I feel you have always reached out to me w/a sincerity to play together. For that thank you.

Again, I know I'm putting my as* on the line. I *think* you are still somewhat connected w/Lill & Cindy. That might be our advantage. But, we would need a 5th vote (Dawn). Is that even possible? I'm not asking you to say anything to them now, I just want to know what YOU think they would say or how they would react.

+++++++++++++++++++

I also sent a brief PM to Cindy asking her to PM ASAP regarding an option.

Sparks about ready to fly

okay PM's have been sent to Cindy, Eliza & Lill....

the basis is that Troy is close to Kim, & he's been calling the shots, he's been inconsistent w/this plan b vote.

I asked for Cindy & Lill's response & reaction. I tried not to make it look like I was targeting Troy for this round, but more like *WAKE UP* he's going to go tot the end & win it if we don;t do something sooner than later.

I did send a PM out to Andrea just asking her what she thought of Troy & if she thought maybe he & Kim were closer than we thought. I didn't want to go too deep w/her b/c/ I think she's fairly tight w/him.

Also sent out an honest clear the air w/Dawn PM. Telling her I'm not as close to Troy & Cindy as she may think. Leaving room for her own interpretation or if maybe word gets to her from Eliza, Lill, or Cindy, she can see a possible way to take the target off her own back.

Of course, after I send this stuff, Troy seems more upfront about shit than he has in the past 3 days. Arrrrggg, I guess if I go packing tonight, they can not say I did not try to change up the game.

So, buyers remorse, maybe. Why would I want to NOT go with majority vote tonight? Keeping me safe. #thestruggle #Brobstaddiction #selftorture

I will say for sure, if it does blow up in my face, that just means I can dedicate more time to preparing for the Eagle Scout ceremony this coming Saturday for my son (with out-of-town guests). Cleaning galore & prepping some gluten free meals and the photo album.

ADAPT, continue to be nice, and ADAPT some more.

Received a PM back from Dawn, she's wanting me & Troy to vote out Lill.

Lill has no enemies on the jury, if she gets to the final - she might win it.
Dawn has nothing left to lose, she's campaigning hard & I've got nothing but respect for her at this stage if the game.

Eliza is intrigued by the thought of voting Troy either now or next round.

Andrea said she would vote Kim as the back up.

Sooooooooo now?????????? *sigh*

If I have done anything, I have got the ball in motion to get Troy out sooner that me.

Also, Dawn's option is really a hell of an option. But, if I voted with her for Lill, would she vote w*Marcus for Troy next round? Or has she already promised Troy something?

Maybe the best course of action is to take out Kim & not Dawn for this round. And then Troy next round.

This is just for Dawn
you basically called me a goat. You told me nobody respects me as a player.
All I can say is...apparently I've adapted...and you did not.
Buh bye.

Nope. But, you were more popular than I was and THAT is what I was in fear of (and the F7 vote proved my point).

There wasn't anything you said to me that you'd chop me...but, I know enough that when you are a "couple" (whether we wanted to be tied to that label or not) never get to the end together. I figured if I was planning ahead to vote you out, you were probably doing the same thing.
