EPISODE VI
”Basically, I am the queen & you're the sorry people!”  Holy fucking shit, DRAMA! There is SO much to talk about and I want to make a video confessional so bad, but I feel like that would ruin the illusion between Morgan and the person behind her. But there is SO much going on, even though we just won the challenge. This is insanity. I don't even know where to even start. Drama is like everywhere and at the heart of it all is Penner, and Philip, and Jeremiah and Bob, and me? I guess? I think the only one who is like out of it all is Chicken because he is right now just kinda being paired up with Bob and given no voice, even though I tried to approach him and he kinda like shut it down. I am worried about my place in the tribe, and I feel like I am going to end getting myself voted out because I am going to try to reign supreme through the drama and get what I want: Penner's head in a platter.
Okay, so what happened is this: LJ figured out that Penner/Bob are pre-game allies somehow, Malcolm told me about it today because we have very open communication. I confirmed it because I am pretty sure it's true, since Penner/Bob were really close during iSurv1vor which just ended. They were super tight and it would be no surprise if they were both here and aligned, even if it wasn't pre-game, when they find out that they are each other they are going to align, it's logical. And figuring them out is not hard, because I did and I barely know either. Now, I am not one to go with rumors, BUT there is proof: as soon as we merged, we barely had to do anything for Penner/Jeremiah to turn to help us, Bob did most of the talking and he got us the 5-way alliance. It was SO fast, it was ridiculous, we didn't even have time to panic and think we were going home.
Now, apparently Bob/Penner worked together to get LJ an idol. Which makes me SO mad because he gave my findings to other people, which is ridiculous. LJ confirmed this. So, the two of them are aligned, and they are tight which puts a huge wrench on B.B.B. and I don't want to deal with it. I really like Bob but I am not about to share my allies with someone because of a pre-game, I will NOT be screwed because of friendships like that. That is super ridiculous and I have not been playing this game to go down like that.
Anyways, Jeremiah approached me and said that Penner/Bob/Chicken had decided that after we got rid of Philip I would be the next one to go, which pisses me off, and considering the evidence above makes perfect sense. Bob has his guy [Chicken] and Penner has his [Jeremiah] so I would be the odd one out and would be screwed because of a pre-game. So, Jeremiah wanted to avoid that and he wanted me/Philip/him to pair up with Sherea when she came over, and we could vote out Bob, I said I wanted to vote out Penner instead and they were not having it. But they need my vote, and I mean I am not going to vote out Bob over Penner. Who, I found out told Philip to vote for me last round when Philip/Whitney were gonna vote for Chicken. So, Penner is a fake little fuck who has been pretending to be my "girl" and then goes behind my back and makes people put some votes on me. Oh okay, cool.
People in this game think I am stupid, I am starting to realize it. Which PISSES me off, because I am not stupid, I know how to play the game and I want to show them that. Them writing me off makes me want to try even harder and fuck them up. In the ass preferably. Anyways, the drama... let me carry on. Jeremiah approached Philip and so did I and Philip basically said he would do whatever, and he was with us if we had the numbers, and this little bitch was acting like a diva. I mean, I know you won THREE times, but you are on borrowed time here. Anyways, Jeremiah told Philip that Penner had been talking about throwing the last challenge to vote Philip out, to get him with us or something. Philip apparently went to Penner, and now Penner wants to get rid of Jeremiah. Bob literally approached me and Chicken to say Penner says Jeremiah is next or something, which further confirms their alliance. And now I am nervous Philip will rat me out to Penner, because in an attempt to get him to vote Penner over Bob [since I want to cut Bob's ties, so he HAS to stick with me/Chicken] I told him the whole thing about Penner too. Philip said he wouldn't say shit, but he shared what Jer said so now it's like "uh...". Did I screw myself up? I hope not!
Philip is obviously doing anything to save himself, and I admire that, but if he throws me under the bus he could easily survive. Anyways, I went to Chicken with the info on Bob/Penner alliance and told him I was nervous about the situation being able to screw us up. Chicken was SO unconcerned about the whole situation... and now I feel he is going to go tell Bob that I was plotting. But I mean, I am genuinely not plotting against Bob, what I want to do is vote out Penner so that I can keep B.B.B. together and cut Bob's other options, also get Philip with me since he is alone, and me and Jer are already close, so I would be Queening it up in Sibiu. It's pretty greedy, but for fuck's sake, why wouldn't I want that?
Also, now I am going over to Napaco which I am NOT excited for. I could easily tie things for Yve/Allie/Brice, but Allie has the idol [they say] and I give zero fucks for Yve and Brice, then again... I kind of want to vote out Mikayla because it would be LULZ if this was the way she went out after trying to pick a fight with me. But then, would that screw my chances with LJ/Malcolm/Sherea? I want to work with them, but if they vote out all of old Sibiu then how safe am I at the merge? God, so much to think about. But in my personal game the biggest non-factor is Mikayla... so, how do I play this? Also, can someone tell Bob/Chicken to stop telling me what to do? This is my round to be fucking Queen and I am NOT going to let them tell me how to vote. This is MY moment, and dammit have I earned it.

I have basically decided that I am going to target Mikayla. I hope LJ/Sherea/Malcolm are not very mad about this, but I need to do this. If we lost the next two rounds, then regardless of who goes, Mikayla would become the Captain and she WILL target me and quite frankly after all the drama I doubt that I will be able to survive the vote. Mikayla is my biggest threat because she has been coming for me openly. I do not want her around, because if she leaves then if we lose in two rounds then Yve comes over and she will help me because she is the target and I am going to save her ass. I have to do this for myself, and think of the future and if that screws me over then at least I tried to do something instead of sheep around.

EPISODE VI
”Basically, I am the queen & you're the sorry people!” I had literally never felt dumber in a really long time. That sentence made zero sense, but like for real. I have finally realized that while I sat here thinking I am in control and I have been playing this amazing game, the sad reality is that everyone is playing me. Bob and Chicken are using me as an extra vote, LJ and them think I'm stupid so they want to string me along, basically everyone in the game thinks that I am a joke. Except perhaps Jeremiah, and Allie. Everyone else though, they don't see me as a worthy adversary which is a really heartbreaking realization. I have always considered myself a great player, and yet right now it seems that regardless of what I do, my time is coming close to an end sometime soon, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Truth: the Penner-Bob alliance is going to be controlling this game because they are close friends.
Truth: Penner > Morgan in Bob and maybe even Chicken's mind.
Truth: Mikayla has more connections than me.
False: People love Morgan, in reality the TRUTH is that they all see Morgan as a stupid disposable player.
This is not even my Tribal, I am in zero danger and yet it's like a defining moment, the beginning of my swan song. Am I giving up? Hell no! But I am realistic and all the roads lead to Rome at this point, and Rome is not a place I want to go to. I talked to Mikayla for hours, she made a lot of sense, and I was convinced about keeping her until she basically pointed out she had more connections than me. By voting her out, I would anger Sherea/LJ/Malcolm, but by keeping her I pull a Cochran and while I might earn some favor to become the last Sibiu standing but that's about it. My challenge skills are not up-to-par. I just don't know what to do to make sure I am not the merge boot, or even pre-merge boot.
I am LOVING this game, but at this point I feel like everyone is playing me. They all are telling me what I want to hear. Mikayla says that if I save her then she is going to help me out, they all now Sibiu is a hot mess express now, and she said she can help me. But so can Yve, and so can Brice and Allie, but where are their connections? Are they really going to follow me? What would Bob/Chicken do? Do I even care? Should I care? Are they playing me? It's like question after question after question after question and zero answers.
I need to make a smart decision, but this time it seems like being smart is the hardest thing, because it's not as black and white as I initially thought it was going to be.

EPISODE VII
”She attacked you in broken English..." Oh Jesus motherfucking Christ! What is it with people coming at me for fighting like constantly? I mean, obviously I enjoy arguing and all that bullshit, but come on bro, can I get a break? Yve just posted on Tribal Council saying how I am on "Highway to Hell" because I voted out Brice. Funny enough, the vote was going to be Yve until this morning I decided that I wanted Brice gone because I had a far better relationship with Yve. Turns out, she is psychotic and decided to attack me, hopefully eventually she will talk to me and can come to the agreement that she owes me... because she does. If not, I wish I had voted out Yve like they wanted, because that is one less "hot" female in the game which would have brought me closer to being the last chick standing.
Anyways, I ended making a deal with Mikayla because truth is, I am pretty fucking alone. With Bob being Pennerized then I have to start expanding my wings if I want to have a chance in Hell to not become an easy boot. So, this chick is going to help me out when she is kidnapped and hopefully I can get rid of Penner, who is my biggest target. Where can I get the votes? No idea since Chicken is happy simply following around, and Jeremiah is super paranoid. I feel like I can easily get Philip/Jer to go with it though, so if I can have Malcolm/Mikayla to go with it, then I would be able to at least tie it and have extra time to make Chicken see the light.
The issue is... I foresee a joint Tribal coming up with this super secret twist that is supposed to shock us. It's going to be something like that, I can see it already. I mean... everyone expects a merge but I doubt it, it wouldn't be this easy, there has to be something happen before that, and this is going to be it. A joint Tribal would be insane, since whichever tribe loses would have to worry a fuckload of other extra votes. If Napaco loses that would probably mark the ending of Yve, if Sibiu loses... who the fuck knows? Chaos would rule, that is for sure. And while I would normally LOVE me some chaos, seeing how vulnerable I am I would rather not risk it.
This round is gonna be insane, so I guess we will see what happens. Maybe I should just focus on kicking out the chicks instead of trying to play smart.

EPISODE VII
”She attacked you in broken English..." I was going to vent in a video confessional, but that is childish and I look like shit. So, I will vent like a normal proboards player on here, through text. Basically I am beyond over everything in this game, I have realized that I am basically riding solo and while this could be a great way to see things I am not thrilled about the prospect. I have an alliance with Bob and Chicken but quite frankly I do not trust them anymore, ever since Penner came to the tribe they barely talk to me and everyone keeps bringing up the fact that they are a threesome. Obviously, this means that I am on the outs. I am not going to get played to become fourth, especially knowing that Bob/Penner were, in fact, good allies in another very recent game. They all agreed to vote me out after Philip was gone, and I am certain after how much I tried to convince people to gun for Penner I am going to be a target maybe even before Penner.
The double Tribal, joint-TC does not bode well for me. Unless I win immunity, which I won't because I refuse to bust my alias in order to get votes. This challenge does NOT work in a game where half the people are playing under an alias. Because once aliases get revealed then the dynamics change to pre-relationships, and that is just fucking annoying. I could get A LOT of votes but I am not going to bust my alias, especially knowing that half the players in the game might target me for who I am outside the game. No thank you. I would rather do mediocre and say I barely have friends or some bullshit excuse like that.
Allie is the popularity queen, and she is going to win, so why are we even trying? Anyways, Yve and I talked and she showed me a screencap where Malcolm basically told her that I was the one who had wanted to vote for her, even though it had always been their plan. I talked to Yve and made her [hopefully] realize Malcolm was lying. I am SO angry at Malcolm for doing that, I know that this is just a game and that is a technique to get things to go his way but it was unnecessary as I was going to vote for Brice. He claims it was the only way he could make sure that Mikayla would not leave and Yve started it and bla bla, but I give zero fucks. I was the one who recruited Malcolm for this game, and even though I do not expect him to work with me because of his pre-relationship with me [that would be lame as hell], we agreed at the beginning that we would try to help each other out as much as possible and keep our names kind of in the clear. The asshole is supposed to be my friend, and promised not to fuck me over unless it was the only way to save himself [and viceversa] but he went ahead and lied for no reason. ESPECIALLY after I gave him a lot of information and made a pretty good case as to why I had to vote Mikayla. I didn't ask him, or any of them to vote for her, simply said that I thought it was the best for me. And considering where things are, that is probably the case.
Malcolm said that to me when we got into an argument because I was LIVID. Quite frankly, I understand what he means but he is also failing to understand [and so is everyone else] that if they need my number then they need to give some too. Why am I going to go around voting potential allies when people like Penner had targeted me before? It makes no sense, voting out Bob over Penner is not convenient with me when I can stick with Bob/Chicken and pray for the best, especially when they might go against Jeremiah next.
LJ is another one who I want to punch right on the throat, he acts SO nice and he says he is with me, but EVERYONE has said how he is playing hard and has deals with everyone. He asked me to tell him why I was frustrated and I said some stuff, maybe over exaggerating some things about his alliance and why I didn't feel safe for them, and it was pretty obvious that he was trying to play me, look at this:
MAYBE he is being genuine, but after hearing Malcolm tell me he is a player I don't even know. I don't want to be played by anyone, I don't want to leave the game a joke, and I feel that regardless of the decisions I make I am going to. Maybe I just need to listen to my gut and go with that, take it one round at a time. Consider myself a free agent and go round by round with every single scenario, that MIGHT just be for the best. There is no way I can win the game, so I should try to keep the frustration to the minimum and just do whatever I feel is best for my personal game.
And yet, it's so hard to do that when I feel like everyone else is playing football and I am here tossing the ball to myself. Ugh, better figure something out fast because otherwise this is going to be my swan song.

EPISODE VII
”She attacked you in broken English..." Oh, hey! I am still alive. I have been SO busy though, so much shit going on around in real life I have been super UTR this round. Which considering that we won [no thanks to me] is a good round, that is until we get to this stupid joint Tribal. In paper it should be chaotic, but it really kind of isn't. Now that Bob and Allie are not attending tribal it kinda doesn't let me and Chicken make any power moves against the all powerful Napaco people. I mean Penner is with Bob, but we all know that he and I don't have the most ideal relationship since he has tried to throw me under the bus multiple times.
Bob/Chicken/Allie/Penner wanted to vote for Philip, and apparently LJ had said that he was down for that too. But then the other side was between Penner/Chicken for a vote out. Without Bob and Allie at Tribal with us, it sounds like me and Chicken are kinda on our own. I talked to Mikayla, Malcolm, and they both see me in the long run. So does Philip it seems. I am fine with Philip staying because he is kind of a free agent, and once the merge hits, I think I am going to reassemble my army. The truth is, though, I feel like alliances are everywhere and I have a really decent relationship with people. I am kinda playing every angle and that is probably why I have been so paranoid about things. Malcolm told me that he thinks I am going to be Final 4 which is a lot more than I expected whatsoever. But honestly, thinking about it, I have good relationships with everyone so if I manage to pass this joint tribal without pissing anyone off then I am gonna be in a good position come merge. Hopefully.
So, my objective this round is to vote out Penner. Chicken is someone I can work with, and if Penner is out of the picture then Bob is going to have his loyalties fully with BBB and then with Allie I would have four, and I know I can get either Philip or Jeremiah to join us for at least a tie. I love Malcolm and all his side has been trying to help me, but I am very well aware that they are not going to take me too far once it gets down to it. If I can get Penner gone, I can make things happen for myself, otherwise I am going to be in #strugglecentral the rest of the game.
I think most people want Chicken gone, and I could easily just conform and go through with it. But I cannot let my boy go, so I am gonna start campaigning against Penner, I am going to prove to the LJ alliance that I am not a threat to them and I am still willing to vote for whoever they want, or their options, but also proving I am loyal to those I gave my word to and I am a reliable ally. I don't know if people would see it that way but it is my hope that they do. It's not looking good, and I am almost certain Chicken is going to be sent to the poultry farm. But I need to prove that while I am malleable I am not a follower.
One thing is certain though... it's hard to campaign when people won't respond to you. |

EPISODE VIII
”A wolf in sheep's clothing" Basically I have decided to stop lamenting myself, and play the game now that the merge is here. I have a new found spirit and strategy, and I am going to rock this mother fucker out until the very end, or my bitter end, whichever comes first. But I think I have decided that my loyalties are 100% with Bob, and possibly Allie. I like the original Napaco's a lot, but quite frankly they are not going to have my best interest in the long run so I cannot be following around mindlessly. I am going to play my own game, and see where it takes me.
The first step is to get rid of Penner, with him gone Bob would seem like a lot less threatening and thus I will too because of association. Without Penner the two of us, and probably Allie, will be able to slide under the radar a little more. Once there, I plan to pity people against each other and ensure that people realize the others are a lot more threatening than me, if they all see me as a goat to take to the end, then they will not take me out. And sure, it might backfire once I make it there, but in all reality I am a good speaker and I am playing the game and putting myself in that position so it's more of a strategic decision than anything else.
I am going to play the game round by round, likewise my loyalties will shift each round depending on what is more convenient for myself, and most likely Bob and Allie. In the long run though, Bob cannot go to the ending, because he is the kind of player who believes all the moves are his, and people might give it to him since I am more of a character than he is. Therefore my best bet would be to take someone like Allie to the end who is a total caricature and has no strategic bones in her body, plus her broken english would probably give me an edge regardless. Allie is a real goat, I am a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I definitely think that with Bob's help I can be successful with this strategy of getting people to target each other while we look pretty. Kind of how Tasha/Spencer double teamed Tony to ensure that he would vote out Jefra. We can start paranoia, threaten people with jury votes, and the future of the game. Hopefully it pays off for the two of us. I guess we will see how it goes, but for now I am just happy having a plan to go for. |

EPISODE VIII
”A wolf in sheep's clothing" Basically, things are going a little crazy around here. The vote is still up in the air and I have no idea what I want to do for it. Penner is talking to me as if I told him I would be aligned with him, which I never did so I have no idea why he approached me saying that "We can make what we want happen" if he doesn't even know what it is that I want to happen. Which, for the record, is to get rid of Penner. Apparently Malcolm is masterminding the demise of Bob though. Allie/Bob want to vote with Penner who claims that he has both Sherea and LJ, neither of which have said anything to me, they are all voting for Philip. I personally feel like voting for Philip would only put me in a bad position because I don't think that they have either Sherea or LJ.
The way I see it, right now I need to kind of slide between the cracks. If I try to make a move that backfires it's just going to put me on people's radars. The way the challenge went clearly shows that I am either well liked, liked enough or that I am not anyone's immediate target. I almost had it, but a slight miscalculation messed me up. Whatever, it's not that big of a deal, I should be safe this round [famous last words]. But you really never know, Malcolm said that after Bob leaves this round then he is going to target Allie, and I will be the last Sibiu standing. Mikayla also said that right now we need to get rid of straglers before we vote out the big threats, which I am fine with seeing how they are never going to consider me a threat.
Moving on. LJ and Sherea have given their words to both sides, they said they are voting for Philip with Penner/Bob/Allie but they also said that they are voting Bob with Malcolm/Jeremiah/Mikayla/Philip. When I talked to them about the vote they BOTH said that it was between Penner and Philip, which is shady seeing how the vote is Bob or Philip. I want to save Bob, of course, but I don't want to vote for Philip when I feel both Sherea and LJ are going to vote against him, and I will end in a very clear majority. If I throw my vote at Penner then I will seem clueless, and I can always blame it on the fact that LJ/Sherea said that was the vote between who it was. Even though Malcolm and Mikayla both already know that I might just do that cause I don't want to vote for Bob. It's kind of shady of me to do, but I am not going to go down in flames. I'm not Host Brandon, going down is not my thing at all.
I find it funny that both Malcolm and Penner are convinced that LJ and Sherea are with them and lying to the other side... I guess someone is going to be really surprised. I am still hoping I can somehow save Bob, but it doesn't look good for him.

EPISODE IX
”No take-backsies!" Hi, this is a summary of the lightning round we had last night. Basically it was chaotic. The first thing that happened was a blind auction where everyone besides Allie won a price. Allie had already voted and yadda yadda. Jeremiah got to pick the teams for the challenge for next round, Malcolm got individual immunity, Penner had a vote nullifier, Mikayla gets to see someone's vote, LJ got a date with B.Rob [lol] and Sherea got to change someone's vote. Meanwhile, Philip and myself got the best two prices: a hidden immunity idol, and the triple threat [null one vote, change one vote, see a vote], Philip has the triple and I got the HII. Which, I was not going to tell anyone but Malcolm straight up asked me if I did, and basically said "if you don't have it then there wasn't one which would be weird." I had to tell him, if it came out later I would have looked pretty bad, and regardless that way he can tell me if something happens and I can use my idol properly, I think Malcolm expects me to work with him to Final 5.
Last night it was a debate between booting Allie or Penner, I was going to vote Penner regardless but the sneaky side of me wanted it to be Allie so a huge threat would leave and my hands would be clean of blood. The vote changed a lot, and apparently the Napaco's got into it because LJ/Jeremiah started defending Allie when she was brought up. Then they got into a fight about how LJ/Jeremiah have a thing with Allie and whatnot. Allie leaving would have been ideal, since then Penner would still be around to be a bigger target. But I decided to remain loyal and stick to voting for Penner.
Jeremiah/LJ/Allie seem to be on a side, and they want me with them. Philip/Malcolm/Sherea/Mikayla are the other side, and they also want me with them. Luckily for me both sides seem to want my attention, which means things have been fractured. Quite frankly I am more learning towards P/M/M/S because even though they have more people I know LJ was saying if Penner won immunity I should be the one leaving. Which, by the way, what the fuck with him playing his idol out of nowhere? I don't see how he could have felt threatened whatsoever. Oh, well, he can't really take it back so it's whatever.
Anyways, I feel comfortable to where I am in the game. It was a crazy fast round, but it was fun. Scrambling like that is what ORG's are about!

EPISODE X
"He dun fucked up!" UGH, I have lost so many confessionals because my Internet is shit. But I need to keep this updated.
Anyways this round, it seems that I am in full control of what happens, I can vote for Allie/Jeremiah against Sherea, or with Sherea and her double vote against Allie and then I get to decide what happens. I am super torn because Allie is the perfect goat to take to the end, but then she is also really tight with Jer/LJ who have brought up my name to be voted out which is a big no no. I am not playing this game to be fourth place, I am here and I am so close that I can see myself winning. As a matter of fact I think if I go against Allie/Jeremiah/Sherea I have really great chances at winning because they have all not really played the game and only followed when I have clearly have been playing considering the cards that I was given.
There are so many scenarios and possibilities though. For example, being able to give Malcolm my idol and have him idol either Philip or Mikayla out of the game. Then I have him and Sherea as a solid three going into Final Six. However, then I lose my ticket to Final 4. We all know that I am not good enough at challenges to make it there on pure strength, so I had been counting on the idol. He wants to idol Mikayla out, but quite frankly my chances against her are far bigger than against Philip. Despite his exorbitant amount of votes which makes him easy to beat in a tie, without him however I have the most votes as far as I know which is not a good thing. If I don't have that idol, I could be an easy target. And granted, I would have Malcolm with me as a guarantee but then I am in danger a lot.
If I allow for Malcolm to go, Sherea already talked to me about us having to become a pair since Philip/Mikayla are a thing, and then LJ/Jeremiah are too. At that point we could go either way since they are obviously [most likely] going to target each other. I have a great relationship with Philip/Mikayla and LJ thinks we do too, even though I know he threw my name around, and after Allie leaves then I am going to have to some damage control on Jeremiah. I intend to mention the fact that he never talked to me after winning immunity which made me uncomfortable, and I was scared they'd pair up with Sherea and her double vote to vote me out. Even though I doubt that would be the case.
My ideal Final 3 scenario would be to make it with Jeremiah and Sherea who were followers for most of the game. At six, if Malcolm is gone, I would vote out LJ unless he is immune in which case we have to get rid of Philip. Then at five, I would attempt to piss everyone off so they would vote for me and I will idol the other one out of the game, or see if I can use Sherea/Jeremiah to vote him or whoever is left for the other. Then the Final 4 would be Mikayla, Sherea, Jeremiah, and myself which would be IDEAL, as I think I have a good shot against all of them at finals. Then again, if Malcolm is there too, wouldn't things be easier besides the target on my back being less safe because I would no longer have the idol?
I have a lot of thinking to do, and even though I am not keen on backstabbing Allie I think it's the best for my game, so... sorry girl but I gotta think of the future of my game, and the scenario that includes you ends with me in fourth place which I will NOT take. |

EPISODE XI
"Are you proud of being a loser?" Isn't it interesting how as the number dwindle, there is a lot less to write here? I have always found that amusing, you would think that more strategic talk would be happening, but in reality a lot less happens because everyone has their plans for the finals ready and in line. Except me, of course, but that is because I am a hot mess and I suck at planning before time. Up until this point there had been a war-path between Philip and LJ which had turned into a dick measuring contest, but now apparently they are talking and I am pretty sure it is all going according to my plans.
I told LJ yesterday that I wanted Philip gone, counting on the fact that he would go tell on me to save his own ass. I talked to LJ about how himself, Jeremiah, and me could vote for Philip if he wasn't immune, make him feel super safe so he wouldn't use his power [which I knew about because of Malcolm] and then he would go. LJ is the kind of player who loves being in control, and after the Allie vote and everything that transpired during the Panner one, he got himself in a pretty bad position. So, me sharing this information with him would be a huge thing for him, and I was counting on him going over to Philip to share it. LJ said he wants to work with me and Jeremiah, and while it would truly be his best option LJ is not the brightest of players. He would rather make amends with other people and talk to Philip than to trust me after I voted out Allie. He had this whole overdramatic speech about it and it was just super annoying. But I was up front about my reasons, so that I could use that later when I reached Final Tribal. I have not had to lie as much to make it there, and I have been able to manipulate people while being bold.
Anyways, Philip just told me he is thinking of voting for Mikayla because he suspects there is an all-girls alliance. Which is obviously bullshit, and I know he is trying to bait me. I tried to reason with him by offering full honesty if he told me what LJ told him [mostly so I could confirm my suspicions] but he said he promised LJ and then I told him I couldn't just give him information which he understood. Had he told me the information I would have told him there is no all-girls alliance and I was thinking of voting Mikayla out too. I don't think he is going to though, because everyone has been talking about how they have a pre-game alliance, which considering that I think Mikayla = Monica/Rob then I wouldn't be surprised about. He probably threw Mikayla's name around because he knew if I went to Mikayla she would know he was bluffing, unlike anyone else. Smart play, truly. But I am pretty sure I can read him as a book.
My objective IS to get rid of Mikayla though, because out of the three goats she has the strongest case so she needs to be sent to the slaughterhouse. Jeremiah and Sherea are still my ideal Final 3, though beating LJ is going to be extremely hard. I am now trying to remember if Philip used his double vote or his nullifier, hopefully it was the nuilifier so that my plan can go by smoothly. I am not scared of a double vote, but I am terrified of the nulifier. The plan is basically VERY simple: this round Mikayla should go, I will talk to LJ/Jeremiah/Sherea about voting for her, but even if Sherea ends up going then there is no real loss for me even though she was my ideal Final Two partner.
At Final 5, when I am no longer immune they are all going to vote for me. LJ gave Philip the information I wanted him to give him, which warrants that Philip will no longer trust me, view me as a snake and vote for me. Mikayla would follow suit if she survives. If Sherea is around, she might back me up, she knows about my idol so hopefully she won't blurb about it and ruin it all. Why did I tell her again? If she is not gonna be with me at five, then maybe it's better she gets voted out because I can't risk them knowing. The plan is this: they all vote Morgan, she pulls out an idol and her ONE vote takes Philip down. Boom, power move! Then I just have to ensure LJ does not win immunity at four and I am in a great position for the finals.
At least I would like to think so. I don't see why Mikayla/Sherea/Jeremiah would have fans. If Philip makes finals he would deserve to win hands down, which is why at five I need to ensure he goes. LJ would be a tougher adversary in the finals, but I have the feeling it could be tight. He has been somewhat more visible at challenges and around so he might garner some votes, but I have manipulated him at some points so hopefully if we somehow end in the finals I can use that for something. Anyways, I am not worried, I made Final 4 with LJ so I can relax right now. |

UGH!!!!! LJ makes a lot of REALLY good fucking points in that stupid Tribal Council post.
The girls would STILL be ridiculously stupid to vote me out over him because he would cream them, against me they would have a shot though, even though I obviously deserve it over them.
I swear to fucking Jesus Christ if I get voted out at four I am going to be SO angry at myself for being six minutes too slow.
