A lot happened last round.
My end-game plan is pretty much solidified with Chelsea, Mick, and Sydney in the final four. Chelsea, Sydney, and I will be no surprise to the jurors. Mick being there? I think it would be. Interestingly I hardly talk to Mick, and I think the same applies for most of the jurors. Which means I might have a chance if the two of us are in the finals unless he makes votes for finding an in with the Capitol core. Chelsea and Sydney have so many connections that I will have a difficult time beating them. I think Chelsea's going to win for sure in the finals --- if she makes it.
Jay actually recognized that she was headed for the finals and that he wasn't in her end-game plans. He was right. So he wanted to make a move and take her out. The plan was for him to get Mike and Savage on board because they were on the outs and then work with me and possibly Tom to do so. The problem was that I'm loyal to Chelsea, and Tom's not loyal to Jay even though he was pretending to be. So Jay's plan was fundamentally flawed, and if Jay went to Tom, then he'd inform my allies and I'd be included in a possible failed plan to get Chelsea out. I informed Chelsea and Sydney what he was doing, and they prompted me to get the full information on his plan. Then the decision came down to whether or not we should take him out. It came down to enough people coming on, and when Tom and Stephanie came on, we decided that it was enough to take her out.
Did I feel bad about taking Jay out? Yes. On a personal level, I feared that he'd hate me. But his plan was flawed; it wasn't going to work. So rather than set him up for a slow death that would just freak out my allies and potentially make my game experience more difficult, I ended his game experience at final 10. I think this helps solidify the Chelsea-Matt-Mick-Sydney final four.

So if it gets down to those 4, how do you plan to play it out?
Does it make a difference whether it's a final 2 or 3 on who you'd want at the end with you?

If it gets down to those 4, I'll be winning immunity, so it shouldn't matter. ;D I have no problem going over 24 hours to win an endurance challenge. If I don't win immunity, I should at least be able to force a tie at final 4 to stay, so we'll see. It also doesn't make a difference to me whether it's a final 3 or final 2. |

Immediately following last vote, we had a challenge that was essentially plate-smashing. Sandra and Stephanie weren't available to compete, so only 7 were. My four-person alliance took out Savage first, then Mike second, and then Tom third. Just to make things more dramatic, we rolled dice to determine who hit who in the final four. So everyone was able to watch what looked like an exciting competition with Sydney and I versus Chelsea and Mick. In all actuality, this was all determined by the roll of a dice that declared Sydney the winner. We came up with nicknames for everyone in our alliance based on the Hunger Games. We're the Careers, and I'm Cato. Chelsea is Clove. Mick is Marvel, and Sydney is Glimmer. While it's not smart strategically to put these in our sigs, we also found several gifs for all of us, such as the following:  So anyway, in the chat, we agreed on Stephanie as the target for the vote since she was almost the target the prior round. Chelsea and I talked to Stephanie about a plan to take out Tom with the justification that Tom's closer to Sydney than she is to anyone else. Stephanie got Mike and Savage on board for the plan. However, this didn't make sense to do as we'd lose the support of the alliance, and Sydney controls the immunity idol which could easily lead to our demise with unpredictable players like Mike and Savage. So, we voted out Stephanie. We're forced to stick with the Four. And that's fine with me. I talk to Chelsea and Sydney far more than anyone else left right now. |
