The vote worked. Emotionally, it really is hard to deal with some of these blindsides. I really have to look at it under the, "It's just a game," mentality. Because if someone blindsides me, I'll give them credit. I'm having fun with this game and making moves to shake it up, and I have nothing against these people I've blindsided personally. I miss talking to some of them although I'm starting to get along really well with new people like Alexis.
However I'm handling these votes horribly, and that may be my undoing with the jury unless I can make these people remember the great chats we had together. I want to keep it realistic so I'm not becoming the jury's best friends after I vote someone out. I'm cutting my talks with them.
I think next vote the target will be Jonas or Tina based on my alliance with Alexis and Rory. I haven't felt comfortable letting an alliance call the shots this game so I may be playing the idol on on Jonas or Tina to split the Alexis and Rory duo.

Alexis is probably backing up the board. I would, but my this computer's junk. Tomorrow sometime I should get my main one back and will try.

Actually I'm going to throw the challenge so people assume I'm playing the idol and I can catch them off guard.

Danni's so confused. She's trying to figure out why she was voted out. The main reason was because I couldn't risk letting her stay since people would look at me as a total follower. The same reason why Jay had to go.
She told Alexis that Jonas and I were really close, and then she started accusing me and Alexis of having a pre-game. Which is totally false. I feel confident enough in my own strategic abilities and relationships without Danni and Jay, plus I have an idol. And really good challenge skills when I try. Which won't be this challenge.

I did a little too poorly in the challenge, but I can say that I wanted to throw it in order to help me make a move this round with the idol. Alexis wanted to compare answers with me after the deadline, and I felt embarrassed showing her things that I knew were way off. Eek. I'm not that dumb.
As of now, I've only talked to Alexis since challenge results. I'll be playing the idol, perhaps on Jonas since Tina won immunity, and I think it would make sense for one of Alexis or Rory to go. I just need to compare notes with Jonas, Rory, and Tina so I can see what I need to do exactly, whose vote will be where, and I can decide who I want with me to give me greater chance of making final two and ultimately winning.

I love how I'm asked how well-liked people are and about jury perception. It makes me think mine's bad. I know my karma drops every time that Lisa comes to the board, and someone else is doing it as well based on the 24 hour list.

I confirmed the vote for Jonas with Alexis and Rory last night, then logged off early. I still watched the board while I was doing homework, and there was a LOT of activity. Rory was on almost constantly for 3 hours. So I figured something up was up.
Tina informed me today that while she doesn't appreciate the game that I'm playing, she is paying me back for helping her out and told me that I should play the idol and vote for Rory. I'm hoping that I do get lots of votes so I'll have the ability to shift the vote for Rory as payback for going after me - and not Jonas if they decide to target him instead fearing I'll play an idol.
Jonas said we should vote for Alexis, and I agreed, but I'd like to see him vote for me now. I'm going to put my vote in and then disappear.
