Round 10

[Matt Elrod]

That may be the last easy vote this game in this game since everyone I'm working with agreed to vote for RC conveniently. She was the main person I wanted out, and now she's gone.

Now, there aren't any strong opposition groups or obvious targets. Danni and Jay are going to argue over targets, and I'm going to have to be the person who keeps them together still so that nothing crazy happens. It's only final 9, so I'm still trying to seem loyal to as many people as I can so that no one comes after me for playing a little bit dirty, which I have done.

[Matt Elrod]

As usual, it's a battle between Danni and Jay only Jay doesn't fully realize it yet. Jay wants Tijuana out and could get the votes do it. Danni wants to keep her in so that Jay doesn't get too powerful.

I feel like I can get to the end either way, so it's up to me to decide whether to give Danni or Jay the upper hand this round by sending out Tijuana or not. Danni will target Jonas, Lisa, or Rory.

[Matt Elrod]

I really like Danni. Like she's a smart player and is working hard to make moves to position herself, but she's driving me absolutely insane right now with going through vote scenarios.

We have forever to make this decision, and all we need to do is swing one vote. It's not that big of a deal right now. I think she'll be able to recruit Alexis, so I will be the swing vote and probably decide who goes between Lisa and Tijuana at like 6:00 PM Monday evening.

[Matt Elrod]

Danni seriously doesn't stop talking. I almost want to just vote her out now.

[Matt Elrod]

I had a day off and did some reflecting on what I need to do.

I can't just vote out Lisa. It would be ridiculous and force me into a Danni/Matt/Tijuana/Tina F4 alliance because I'd have just pointlessly lied and betrayed Jay, Jonas, and Rory. There would be no justification whatsoever to try to explain this move to them either. Alexis is a total flip flopper and can't be depended on. So we'd be facing a potential 4-4 next time and my perception would be a liar. I would no longer have options to make moves.

So I'm thinking of voting for Tijuana so I can maintain most of my connections. I could give her the idol as well to save her, possibly, so that Lisa would go and the people left would be forced to work with me longer. But I have to run some scenarios through my head first to figure it out exactly and maybe talk to Tina about it as well. This may be like the last time I voted for Tijuana to go when Abi left. Danni would be pleased with the outcome but surprised at my actions even though they're ultimately good for us.

Then I'd know Tina had an idol left, but Danni would think the idol would be out of the game and it could be another option later.

[Matt Elrod]

Well, Danni got Alexis and Rory on board which should save me from using the idol. I'll be telling Jay how it's a lost cause and we either join in or throw our votes for Tijuana.
