Well Carl was completely blindsided. But here is the good news, the end is in sight. You're halfway there (livin' on prayer! :<3 )

Did you ever expect to make it to this point? If not, why?

If you did expect to make it this far, where do you get that confidence from? How much longer can you make it?

With Carl being blindsided do you find it hard to trust everyone around you?

Who is the next to go if you have it your way?

It sounds cliche saying this but I don't expect to get anywhere in these games, honestly. I've gone out second before and I've lasted as long as fourth so I know anything can happen and I can place anywhere. But I'm pleased to have gotten this far, I can say that much.

I hope I can make it much farther. Hopefully to the end. Although the way things are going I doubt I'll win. I think I've got a decent social game going for me, so there's that, but I haven't been able to really make any solid strategic moves for myself. The numbers just haven't been in my favor. I'm trying though. I'm working on gaining support for voting out GC tonight. I don't know if it'll happen but I can at least say that I tried and I didn't just sit back and vote where I was told.

I've never really trusted everyone completely to begin with. I've always kind of been wary of being considered a number and thought to be in people's back pocket.

If I had my way completely, Crystal would go next. She's too strong and has too much going on for her. If she goes to the end I know she'll win. But realistically speaking I'd like to see GC go next. He's in tight with a lot of people and I think it's time for him to go. I'll be going against Crystal and Corinne if I can get rid of him but it'll be worth it if it pays off.

Oh, and I was blindsided by Carl leaving. I didn't really expect that. But really, it might be for the best. Now it forces my hand. I was going to try to wait to get rid of some of their numbers before doing some last minute flipping but I'm going to try and do it now, just because there aren't many other options. If Dan goes next I'll have like no say in any of the votes at all. Not that I've really had any since we shuffled, but any chance at control will pretty much be gone.

I can't say I'm really surprised that Carl's gone, though. It makes sense. I'd probably make the same move if I were in their shoes. They likely wanted to make sure I wouldn't have the numbers to do anything, and they knew that Carl was a smart player and close to me. They cut a major ally of mine. So it was a good move on their part, it just puts me in a tough situation.

Well, Charlie never being here and Matty not being on most of the day kind of screwed me a bit and I never even had a chance to discuss the possibility of voting out GC tonight. I can't do much with just three votes. This kinda sucks. I hate not being able to do anything. Voting out Frank was probably a mistake but it seemed like the best thing for my game at the time. I probably would've gotten picked off soon after if I'd helped vote out Crystal anyway. We would've still been vastly outnumbered and I would've been short an ally who's been keeping the heat off my back. Which is another thing that kind of sucks. I mean, yeah, it's great that she's helping me but then if we're both in the finals she just gets to say "I kept Teresa in the game the whole merge" and I won't have a leg to stand on. Not that I'll have much of one anyway if I'm sitting next to her, but still...

I figured I might as well take some time to be nice to Dan since he might be joining the jury tonight. If I could get to the end he might vote for me over Crystal (if she's there too) just because I made a point to give a few kind words to him. I figure since I've got like no chance at a strategic game argument I might as well get some more ammo for a social game argument.

I'm going to try to work something out with Matty and use him as an intermediary between myself and Lex and GC, since he's kind of a dick and won't even consider working with us for whatever reason. Maybe the four of us can vote out Crystal next round. We just need to beat her in the challenge.
