~ Round 13 ~; Final 6

Aye yi yi.

I was such a pathetic mess this round. Not really at final 8, because that was the easy part with voting out Corinne. I felt a little bad about it because I love Cass, but Corinne wanted me out. So whatever. Sorry Corinne.

But during the final 7 round omw what a hot mess I was. I told Julia and Reynold earlier in the day that I wanted to boot Brandon at 7 after we got rid of Corinne. But I didn't really want to do it without Malcolm by my side. And Malcolm didn't really take too kindly to the idea. But even then, right before the challenge, I told Julia I might just do it anyway without Malcolm. But then during the voting period Brandon was guilting me harder than I think anyone has ever guilted me. And I knew he was doing it too, which was the frustrating part. I knew that he was totally fine to let me get voted out at the final 7, and that he didn't care. But he got to me. :cry And then during the voting period I was just waffling hardcore and like crying woe is me to everyone because I didn't know what the hell to do. I changed my mind approximately every 25 seconds on whether I should boot Brandon or Allie.

But in the end... it was a combination of Brandon's guilt-trip, and just sound logic that made me vote for Allie. I trust Julia and Reynold, but we're getting down to the wire. And letting 3 Fans into the final 6 just would be too risky for me. I really think this final 6 is the best make-up for me. I really don't think Reynold or Julia will entertain the idea of working with Brandon or Dawn, and vice versa. Those two, and Malcolm too, are so terrified of any of the Fans getting to the final 3. I don't really share their concerns. Reynold might get some votes, but I really don't see Julia having a lot of jury support. I can't really decide if I want to go to the end with Malcolm and Dawn, or Malcolm and Julia. Decisions decisions.

But first I have to get through tomorrow's double round. I'm hoping it will be simple. Brandon at 6 should be easy enough unless he wins immunity. But then Reynold has to go too, which could definitely ruffle some feathers. Julia is gonna be pissed because we've been preaching our alliance of 4 to the end. But yeah no. I don't want Reynold near the end.

OH and Dawn is being so pathetic right now. When I confronted her about targeting me... actually I'll just show you the PMs because it's too sad to put into my own words. Just look. I start off the chain.

Okay so please explain why you want me out so bad. Being fake with you for the past like... several rounds... has been so annoying because I know you've wanted me out legitimately forever. The fans have told me you've been dropping hints that you want to get rid of me, with today it finally coming to the surface and you actually putting together a plan to boot me. And Brandon has told me he's had to talk you off the edge of insanity when you've wanted to boot me at like final 10, final 9, final 8... etc etc etc. So why? When I've never once targeted you, never once given any indication that I want you out, never was wronged you? What is the big fucking deal about Brenda that you just need me out of this game?


Because you're a really good player. Honestly I respect you so much as a gamer. There's no personal reason behind it. It's simply being afraid of you and the fact that I can say that I took you out. That's it. I've always looked up to you as a player so it's sort of like me getting to take a victory over you.


But like... final 9 though? Final 8? Ouch. When I heard you wanted me out THAT early, I won't lie. It hurt. Voting out someone because you respect them happens more often at like... I don't know... final 5? Final 4? At that point I wouldn't be hurt or offended if you gunned for me, because it would be understandable. But I think you tried to strike way too early. And if you'll notice, even still I didn't go for you when I easily could have. It would be nice if maybe you could repay the favour for at least one round.


You having the idol didn't help. And it's clear that you got the better end of the fans and favorites on your swap tribe so I just really felt like you were going to have massive advantages over me. And look - you're in a great position and I'm not. You got your way twice tonight and you've gotten it pretty much the entire merge.

Clearly I fucked up because I have no chance in hell at winning. I'm sorry. It's clear I'm a big old disaster in this but I hope you can take solace in the fact that you only proved to me that you are in fact better than me and I am in fact a terrible gamer.


It's like... I sort of feel bad for her. She's just saying how amazing I am and how shitty she is lol. Originally I thought she was just sucking up to me and saying how great I am so I don't target her, but now I'm not so sure. It's just awkward. But oh well I guess. Sucks to suck.

I'd give you crap about the round #, but at least you have final 6 in there in the subtitle.

Anyway, to touch on some of those things. So at 7, you would have been willing to do Brandon there with Julia/Reynolds if Malcolm would do it. Did you have much expectations of him doing it there anyway?

So if Brandon is not immune tomorrow's first round, you seem to have 4 votes against to the 2 against whomever. If he's immune, who would be the backup in this scenario? Do you jump the order or do you have a backup specific for that situation?

Whatever. It's round 13 idc.

And no, I didn't really think Malcolm would go for it. I half-heartedly tried to sell the idea to him, and I could tell that he wasn't really having it. So I knew if I was gonna do it, I was going to have to do it without him. But in the end I couldn't go through with it. My gut said vote out Brandon, but my heart said vote out Allie. I know you're always supposed to go with your gut, but my heart won out this time.

Which might have gotten me into trouble, I don't even know anymore. I was talking final 3 scenario's with Brandon and basically told him that I'll take anyone to the end that's willing to take me to the end, because I don't think there's very many of those in this game. And then he told me that Reynold just told him that I was targeting him this round. So Reynold might be trying to turn the tables on me, which would be very very not good. Worst case scenario I can play my idol and just idol out whoever. But then I'd probably have to immunity whore the final 5 and final 4 challenges in order to make the end. Which is ew. I was banking on only having to win the final 4 challenge.

We'll see. I'm going to express my fears to Julia about Reynold and see if she gives up any information. If she's in on some plan to get rid of me too, I'll kill myself.

And this PM I just got from Julia has confirmed all of my fears. Malcolm and Reynold are betraying me this round. Fuck them both so hard.

Okay, Brenda. This is a PM that I am terrified to write, because typically when I make a plan or I try to make a move -- especially in this game, at least -- things blow up in my face. Either I get shut down altogether, or things just blow up and then I have Brandon trying to switch the vote off of Michael and onto myself.

First of all, I have known that this moment was going to come for rounds now. I know that I’ve been laying it on pretty thickly, and you’ve probably thought that I was schizo or super shady because of it, but I really did mean everything about it. As of right now, I consider you to be my closest ally in the game. Not Reynold. Not Malcolm. You. Because you aren’t scared to go against me in the FTC. You know that I have sucked throughout this entire merge, and you don’t mind sitting next to me in the final three because you realize that I don’t actually have anything to prove, making me a goat. Malcolm is terrified of going to the end of this game with a Fan. Reynold needs me on the jury.

You have promised not to ever write my name down. You have promised that you want to go after Brandon this round. And I’m holding you to both of those promises.

Okay. Here we go. I’m going to type this out, and I’m hoping that you will react rationally. We are kind of in a shit position here, but it’s navigable with your idol and both of our social connections.

Malcolm wants you out of this game.

I’ve been trying to hint at his betrayal for rounds now. The first time that I brought up going to the end together (which I am still very serious about, by the way), I mentioned that Malcolm may not want to go to the end with you. You blew me off, and told me that you would never betray him... but he is more than willing to betray you. Malcolm has yet to win, Brenda, and right now, he’s setting himself up perfectly to go to the final three with two goats.

You want proof? The first time that Malcolm and I discussed voting you out was back at the final nine, when Reynold and I made a deal with him to go to the final three. Reynold’s pitch was that by taking two fans to the final three, Malcolm would be able to split the Fan vote and therefore have a better shot at winning. It’s a pretty legit strategy -- or it was at the F9. I’m not stupid though. Reynold has played a near-perfect game, while I’ve been getting shit on this entire merge. We go to that F3, and Reynold gets all three Fan votes. And I think Malcolm is somewhat aware of this, meaning that he has to change his plan up.

So, here’s what Malcolm wants. He takes you out this round by getting himself, Reynold and I to vote for you. Dawn is probably on board as well -- at this point, Dawn has actually told me straight up that she wants to vote you out. And I believe her. I think that Dawn, Reynold, Allie and Brandon had a F4 deal at one point in this game for a couple of reasons: Brandon was so butthurt over Allie and cussed her out on his way out, Reynold and Dawn have demonstrated that they were oddly close, Dawn/Brandon were targeting me over Allie, who was never even here. Either way, Dawn hates you. I think she wants to send out you this round as well. So that makes the vote a 4-2 in Malcolm’s eyes at least, with Brandon inevitably hopping on board like the bitch that he is.

Why does it work for Malcolm to get you out? What is his incentive? It’s pretty obvious to me. With you gone from this game, Malcolm just lost his biggest threat in the game. Unanimously. He might lose your vote in the end, but heck, he hasn’t had a win yet, so you’ll probably give it to him anyways! If Malcolm gets a F5 of myself/Reynold and Brandon/Dawn, he is the swing vote. He’ll vote Reynold out, because Reynold is his biggest threat. I follow Reynold out at the F4, because I’d be the last fan standing. Malcolm is then in a F3 with Dawn and Brandon, two people that he can beat.

As far as your original question about Reynold and Brandon is concerned, Reynold went to Brandon because Reynold wants you out this round. He’d prefer Brandon, but since Malcolm wants you, it’s just the easiest thing to do. Reynold went to Brandon to try and get him on board, and I guess it backfired because Brandon went to you.

Get back to me soon, please. We have a lot of planning to do here.

Also, PLEASE DO NOT FREAK THE FUCK OUT. I am taking a HUGE risk in telling you all of this. Don’t snap at Malcolm or Reynold. Don’t fill Brandon in. Please act normal in all of your other PMs. We can pull off a very nice blindside tonight, and it’d be so dumb to fuck it up this late in the game. This round is pivotal. Let’s play this safely.


idk yet. I'm going to respond to everyone's shit and then figure out what to do.

I don't know what to do. Brandon and Dawn are telling me that they want to boot Reynold tonight. I actually believe Brandon, because I think he can see that Reynold is equally as scary against a jury as I might be. I never believe anything that Dawn says though. I've officially scrapped my plan to go against Brandon at the final 6. It just doesn't make sense anymore. I could do Reynold, because that probably takes out my biggest competition when it comes to jury votes. That would be going with my head.

But to be honest, I feel so scorned by Malcolm right now that I could easily see myself just idoling him out of the game tonight. He wants to vote for me? Fine. He can reap the consequences of betraying me. He's so stupid. Even last night me and him talked about how it's silly for people to even bother talking behind my back. Because every single plan to oust me ends up getting back to me pretty quickly. So why he's trying to get rid of me now.. I don't know.

It just hurts pretty badly. From day one, I've wanted to go to the end with him in this. Not because I'm playing for him to win like messie was in Vertigo, because that's stupid, and honestly condescending towards cards. He doesn't need anyone to play for him to win, he can do it on his own. It just hasn't happened yet. But my plan was to just go to the end with him always, because if I had to lose this game to anyone, I would be completely fine to lose it to him. Because the pain of my loss would be balanced out by being really happy for his win. And I've been fine with that... this whole time I've been fine with that. And now he wants to betray me like this? It hurts. And when people hurt me I do dumb shit. I don't think voting Malcolm out tonight is best for my game, but I might just be so hurt that it's something I would do anyway.

Oh WOW that is just tragic :( I feel so bad for you and he hasn't even voted you out yet.

PMs right now are so hilarious lol.

It's basically just me and Malcolm laughing about this whole thing and just deciding to go to final 3 together again.

Julia bitching non-stop about Reynold and Malcolm and how much she hates them both.

Me telling Brandon I'm booting him next and him saying he's known forever and isn't going down without a fight.

And Dawn congratulating me on F4 and me just thanking her and telling her I'm booting Brandon lol.
