And with that, the power is back in Jay's hands. Danni's in a bad spot, but I'll talk to her after the vote to calm her down.
Her fate is truly in her hands. If she wants to sell out my secrets to Jay, then she's gone next. Otherwise I should be able to keep her longer. Danni versus Jay is giving me so much protection.

Doing damage control with Danni. We'll see how this goes. I've blamed Jay for having too much influence the past vote and told her how we need to get him or one of his allies out next round so he doesn't get too much powerful.
I really want her against him and not me. And she wants me to idol him out next round, which could be arranged if I speak to Tina about it.

I'm curious what's going to happen tomorrow. Earlier I told Jay how we should get Danni out next and Danni how we should get Jay out next. Will they compare notes and realize what I'm doing? Or will one of them triumph over the other?
Honestly, I think Jay could easily be voted out 6-2 this next round. Alexis, Jonas, and Rory would jump on the chance to get rid of him. Jay, Lisa, Jonas, and I could get the votes for Danni to go home as well if we pushed it with Alexis and Rory.
Voting for Tina would be another possibility if she loses because she's such a challenge threat.
It's time to make a move though this round.

Jay is telling everyone he messed up in the challenge. I've spoken to Danni about this, and she agrees that we should vote for him to leave. Danni and Jay fought, but I think they still trust me.
I've decided to be a full villain and take out any opposition. A lot of people think that Jay's calling the shots and he does have lots of influence, so I think Jay should go immediately. Then Danni should leave before the finals two because she is perceived as such a strategic player. My goal after this vote if we can get Jay out is to bring Jonas, Lisa, and Rory into something with me so I have them for options over Danni.
Danni says we have votes from her, Alexis, and Tina for Jay to leave. With me, that's 4/8. I really want to warn Rory or Jonas, probably Rory, so that we can get rid of Jay and I can save my idol. Unless we make Tina the target so she uses hers and I can save mine. We'll figure out an option either way based on who wins immunity.

This should be simple. We're voting for Tina, and she will play the idol and Jay will leave. Danni just needs to not tell something to the wrong person or she will mess this up and ruin her chances of winning the game.

So here's what I did. I need to get off early to catch up on sleep.
- I PMed Tina letting her know what was going on and that I'd tell her if she needed to play the idol or had the votes to stay. I told her it would probably be best to just play it to be safe. I also suggested Jay as the target because he's coordinating the alliances.
- I confirmed voting for Tina with Jay, Jonas, and Rory. I offlined Lisa saying how it should be Tina. The target needs to stay on Tina, and people can't split the vote or we're screwed.
- I showed Danni all my conversations and what I was thinking, then explained to her how this should be simple and finished off by promising I was genuine about giving Tina the idol and going to the end with her. I'm going to tell Danni I'm giving Tina my idol. She doesn't have to know that Tina may be playing hers. So I'll have a secret weapon still.
- Danni may tell Alexis about the plan to get a 4th vote, or we may just leave it at 3 to make sure it doesn't change. If we want to save Tina's idol, we can try to get Rory or Jonas to make it 5 or 6 votes. I'll decide that tomorrow.

I like Jay on a personal level and do feel bad that he's probably going home. However, it would just be extremely boring if I went to the final two with him and we brought Jonas, Lisa, and Rory along with us. And I would have no chance of possibly winning: Jay would.
I'm putting some power into my own hands, and I think I have security after this vote still from at least Alexis, Danni, and Tina. Danni will have to go in a few rounds because people will credit her for being this game's main strategist.
