Renee keeps messaging me. She asked if I was avoiding her, I said no. Oops.
I'm sorry, but EVERYTHING i tell her, she sends Kim, and Kim sends EVERYTHING to Jeb. Renee is not aware of this fact.

I need to post a lot. I'm just going to post what comes to mind.
Oh, so the whole deal with the other tribe. We think we have a pretty solid grasp on what's going on now that Brandon spilled the whole deal (also apparently both Brandon and Ian messaged Jeb on FB telling him everything, which I find kind of fishy...makes me even less trusting of Jeb, as if that was possible). We think that Adrian/Tomas are running the show. Dave is the 3rd wheel, but still up there on the totem pole. Jose is the 4th wheel, but still has some cushion because of the 5th wheel of their alliance, Quanz. Hash assumes Quanz is Adrian/Tomas' sheep (I guess due to his age) but hey, you never know. And basically Brandon is on the outs of that core F5 alliance (obviously). Also Adrian has two idols because Ian gave him one to "ensure his loyalty" and then got voted the fuck out (obviously). That's frankly just fantastic gameplay right there, and so maybe the person I need to watch out for on the Mbochi is not Dave, but Adrian.

So I went on call with Sam yesterday, and we talked for an hour or so. I was nervous when he asked me to get on call all of a sudden because that's usually not a good thing...I'm a little paranoid of Skype calls ever since I was called out for two-timing my original tribal alliance in the post-merge of Chronicles 2...good times. But, it really was just paranoia, Sam is a great guy and he's more interested in the social aspect of the game (getting to know people, etc.). I mean, he's been doing these for a while so I'm assuming he's already won before, so I don't think winning is as important for him as getting to know people, and I can respect that.
I really love Sam, I think he's a great guy, and we didn't really get off on the right foot in some previous Viewers' Lounges, but this is our first time in a game together, and I think we've really hit it off (or at least I hope he thinks so). I was actually worried about HIM being the third person who voted for Dylan and that I might be completely wrong about Jeb, but those fears are completely assuaged now (unless Sam is just a brilliant liar, in which case, hats off to him, and I'm fucked in this game). We talked about life, his optometry, my neurobiology, but mostly I just ranted to him about how much I hate Jeb, Renee, Kim. At one point, I referred to Renee and Kim as Kenee as if they were some sort of single, fused entity (which they might as well be). Then we figured it would be easier to refer to them as Rim, and that it was unfortunate that Jeb's middle initial wasn't Otis or something in which case we could call their alliance of 3, Rimjob. Rimjeb will have to do, I guess.

And I do have a F2 with Sam, I think. Of course, I am 100% loyal to Hash no matter what, but my dream scenario (and this is probably way too presumptuous to be talking about right now, because frankly, I'm pretty sure the Core 5 on Mbochi will wreck us when the merge happens :S) would be a Me/Hash/Sam/Chris F4 (which is what we already have established), and then convincing Hash to boot Chris at F4 even though I'm sure he would rather boot Sam at that point. And then a me/Hash/Sam f3 in which I can totes just throw final Immunity like Hatch. Anyway, that's the dream scenario, and it feels kind of ridiculous talking about it right now (I promise I'm not THAT arrogant) but it's just something I like to throw in there to be able to read a few weeks down the line to see how accurate it was.

Just a quick note to cover my own ass on this challenge. I did have to modify the screenshot a bit; if you notice, there is a spot on the AIM buddy list whited out (it's kind of subtle, so I don't think anyone would really notice unless they were looking for it). That's because that spot said "F3 Squad".../facepalm

I'm not the biggest Boston Rob fan in the world but I'm really channeling his RI strategy of creating such an "us vs. them" mentality that no one thinks of flipping. And I don't mean Kwele vs. Mbochi, I mean Me/Hash/Sam/Chris vs. Jeb/Kim/Renee (Rimjob). And that's a problem. Sure, it guarantees me merge pretty much, but then Rimjob is SOOO ready to flip to Mbochi at that point because we've completely isolated them. Oops. Yeah I could be doing a much better job of things right now.

It's not my fault that Kim is like dead or something. And yeah I could probably talk to Jeb even though I hate his guts but I don't have the energy to think about what I type to him.
And Renee...IDK. The issue is that, at merge, those 3 could flip soo easily if we ostracize them so much, so I'm making Hash keep a civil relationship with them, while I just diva myself out in the corner

GRR I want 10 points again but IDK what to talk about. I feel like I can't be as OTT as I was in my Episode 2 confessional because that round was motherfucking crazy, so what am I supposed to post?
Oh so yeah, the us vs. them mentality I was talking about...that was accomplished by a Skype call of our F4 (hashsamchrissagar) in which Hash and I literally just bashed those 3 the whole time LOL. and then we talked a LOT about survivor and our favorite players, and I was kind of pissed because Hash is one of those people who thinks Russell should have won Samoa and HvV which is...whatever. The person who wins was the person who deserved to win (except if it was someone like Lill from Pearl Islands who was brought back due to a twist, that was just BS, thank fucking god she didn't win). But yeah when I said that on call, Hash did not agree. Whatever, I still love him

Sam and I were joking about how unbelievably heterosexual Hash is. Like he just radiates straightness for some reason. The way he talks, his straightforwardness, his ignorance of shows like BGC and Drag Race. Apparently he's going to start watching BGC now so I'm glad he's opening up. The goal is to get him to say one insanely diva-like OTT thing before this game ends

I also can't decide whether I think Jose is hot or not. Tomas is so sex though

Once again, Kim the Kunt shows up after being dead for like 2 days just to start fake drama in the IC thread with Jeb. Shut the fuck up, you nasty twat. You're not a diva, so stop trying to start shit, you hag. "What's with the once again?" bitch what the fuck do you think??? and besides, it's hilarious how she's trying to start shit with Jeb as if all of us don't know that she's basically his grandmother

Hash and I were discussing the whole post merge situation because, although we've pretty much secured ourselves to make it to merge, we're in a bad spot against the solid Mbochi group of 5. What we need to do, we decided, was to grab a hold of Renee pretty much as soon as Jeb is voted out, and offer her a get-out-of-jail-free card, because she presumably doesn't want to go down with the sinking ship (the SS Rimjob). It's not like Kim is doing shit in this game, so Renee will probably agree to work with us at that point and not flip since she needs our protection due to her lack of an idol. That way we have a solid 5 which is, if anything, at least equal to the number of solid people Mbochi has

BUT what I was thinking was that I could get Sam to use his obvious connection with Dave (they're FB friends, ffs) to get an in for us two and maybe make some sort of F3 deal with him (presumably Sam would make a F2 with Dave at that point, and I don't mind latching onto something like that temporarily just to get the numbers on our side, and then we cut Dave's throat). Dave's a smart guy, I'm sure there is some sort of crack in that group, with two-three people obviously being tighter with each other than the other two (hopefully Dave is not one of those who are very tight with the alliance). That and the fact that Adrian has two idols might be a good reason for Dave to flip or at least consider voting out some Mbochi

Hash is super nervous about this twist but....idk I'm kind of glad. This game was sort of at a dead end for me because nothing was happening strategic-wise unless Kwele lost another challenge or the merge happened. But now, I can get back into the game and hopefully start making some deals/persuading some people, which is my favorite part of the game
