Round 4 - Mbochi

[Dave]

ROUND 4
MBOCHI

First off, I’m really sorry you got blindsided Ian. You are honestly a super nice guy, but you just couldn’t be trusted with information. Did you deserve to go like that? No, not really, but it’s a shitty thing about this game. I can’t keep loose cannons who won’t keep plans a secret. It’s why I don’t want to tell any real information to Brandon. You needed to know when to tell people things, and when to just keep quiet. I hope there are no hard feelings because you are awesome and a joy to talk to.

Speaking of Brandon, he is really grating on my nerves, but it’s something I just need to brush off and move on with. I’m honestly usually the emotional type of person who will just scream back, but I told myself no this game. I’m attempting to play this game with my head and really when I think about it, Brandon’s latest outburst in the immunity challenge thread does nothing to hurt me. It just hurts Adrian/Tomas. Plus, it’s putting on quite the show. So no one can say this game is boring for viewers. Haha.

Still he’s giving me a fucking headache in this game. A legit fucking headache. Whenever he does one of his outbursts it causes everyone else to freak out, thus I have to either A) freak out with everyone else or B) calm everyone down with rational arguments. Somehow he knows that Adrian has two idols. I don’t know how that’s even possible unless Ian told him after he was voted out. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if Adrian told Brandon himself. This tribe is so fucking crazy I wouldn’t be shocked by anything.

The discussion of if we should throw this challenge came up to get rid of Brandon and I got my way of getting everyone not to throw it.

[2012-11-18 8:09:20 PM] Ryan: Do you want to throw it?
[2012-11-18 8:09:28 PM] Dave: I'm gonna vote no on this one
[2012-11-18 8:09:36 PM] Dave: if we merge with Brandon
[2012-11-18 8:09:38 PM] Dave: he'll be idoless
[2012-11-18 8:09:41 PM] Dave: and we can just vote him out and we all make jury
[2012-11-18 8:10:00 PM] Dave: but if the rest of you want to throw, i understand
[2012-11-18 8:10:03 PM] Dave: he's annoying as fuck
[2012-11-18 8:10:09 PM] Adrian: I just read his bullshit
[2012-11-18 8:11:22 PM] Ryan: I vote to throw the challenge, who knows when well merge
[2012-11-18 8:12:04 PM] Dave: shouldn't that be a reason not to throw tho? what happens if we lose the next two in a row?
[2012-11-18 8:12:08 PM] Ryan: But ill do what the tribe wants to do
[2012-11-18 8:12:12 PM] Dave: I don't want jose to use his idol and one of us go
[2012-11-18 8:13:23 PM] Ryan: Say we lose two and merge the numbers are 7-4
[2012-11-18 8:13:58 PM] Ryan: Say we lose one and merge the numbers are 6-5
[2012-11-18 8:14:46 PM] Dave: you've seen how batshit crazy our tribe has been thanks to the idols. If we force them to go to more TC's. More people are going to be pissed on that side and feel on the outs, just like Brandon is.
[2012-11-18 8:14:51 PM] Ryan: Say we win both and merge Brandon flips the nummbers are 7-4
[2012-11-18 8:15:54 PM] Ryan: The best situation is we win one lose one
[2012-11-18 8:15:57 PM] Dave: agreed
[2012-11-18 8:16:04 PM] Dave: so how about win this one, and then lose the next one?
[2012-11-18 8:16:17 PM] Adrian: Don't we merge at 10 in a game of 16?
[2012-11-18 8:16:25 PM] Dave: in a normal game, yea
[2012-11-18 8:16:44 PM] Ryan: True
[2012-11-18 8:16:51 PM] Adrian: I sent this to Brandon via PM
[2012-11-18 8:17:12 PM] Adrian: Let's Get One Thing StraightI would not treat you like crap if you didn't start cussing us out and calling us names and being bitchy to us at any chance you got. All my snottiness that has been directed at you came as retaliation. I won't just stand at let you talk down to me without standing up for myself. It is not fair of you to think it is.

Why have you not tried to start a Skype convo with us? Maybe if you talked nicely to us and made an effort we would return the courtesy.

Just saying...
[2012-11-18 8:17:31 PM] Dave: honestly, I'd just ignore Brandon
[2012-11-18 8:17:39 PM] Dave: he's going to use anything he can against us
[2012-11-18 8:17:46 PM] Dave: there's no use trying to reason with him
[2012-11-18 8:17:47 PM] Adrian: Going to from now on
[2012-11-18 8:17:53 PM] Dave: we tried our best
[2012-11-18 8:17:57 PM] Dave: we know he's bat shit crazy
[2012-11-18 8:18:04 PM] Dave: we can't do anything about it
[2012-11-18 8:18:22 PM] Ryan: Lets try to win this one
[2012-11-18 8:18:29 PM] Dave: That's my vote for this one
[2012-11-18 8:18:34 PM] Dave: and if we win, then we can lose the next
[2012-11-18 8:18:39 PM] Ryan: I dont want to go to TC
[2012-11-18 8:19:03 PM] Dave: or have the option of losing the next at least
[2012-11-18 8:19:06 PM] Adrian: We need to win, so that we may have the luxury of losing next time
[2012-11-18 8:19:08 PM] Dave: I don't want to be forced to win
[2012-11-18 8:19:11 PM] Dave: agreed, and I really feel the more we win
[2012-11-18 8:19:18 PM] Dave: the more crazy the other tribe will be too
[2012-11-18 8:19:38 PM] Adrian: Exactly
[2012-11-18 8:19:47 PM] Adrian: They are bound to have cracks

In the chat totally didn't notice that this is round 4 and Ryan was talking about merging in two rounds. Whoops, math fail. Anyways, I don’t want to know what happens if we lose this immunity and the next one. Plus, if our tribe is this crazy after two TC’s, the other tribe can’t be full of rainbows and sunshine after two either. The more we win, the more they have to turn on each other too.

I feel like people on my tribe do not understand that. Everyone on that tribe is not going to be 100% loyal to each other if they have to go to TC after TC when we merge. Someone is going to be our Brandon.

A number of people on my tribe keep saying that we need to merge with the numbers, or that we all need to be super, super tight. No we don’t. I mean, yes, that would be ideal, but it’s not the end of the world if we don’t. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m quite confident in my social abilities to wiggle my way into some American hearts. I <3 Americans.

They all can’t be 100% confident they are top of the totem pole when everyone now knows that JEB/Kim are friends already (thanks for adding me to the Facebook page Sandy haha). And if I’m wrong and they are all 150% about Amurrica to the end and I’m fucked at the merge. Well so be it. No use complaining about it. I haven’t even mentioned the fact yet that those idols could change the tide every round.

Also on the topic of the Americans… JEB why you adding me on Facebook already brah? We aren’t on the same tribe. I hate cross-tribe communication; I honestly feel it ruins the essence of being on tribes. Sam and I were friends on Facebook before the game started. I’ve been in two of his Mafia games that he’s hosted, but I’m not going to say one word to him until we are on the same tribe. Still, I know JEB has already talked to Ryan, and who knows who else. So that’s annoying, but whatever. It doesn’t say in the rules we can’t, so I’m just going to complain about it in my confessional.

Hopefully we win this challenge. My highest so far has been 90 points… I’d like to be able to get to at least 95 before submissions are due. The biggest question I wonder though is if Brandon will finally get off his lazy ass and try to help? Must suck to not have an idol anymore.

[Dave]

Shocker. We lost again.

I'm really just used to the feeling now, so I don't even get bummed out anymore when I see the results. The other tribe is really strong at challenges, and our tribe simply isn't, or we simply just haven't gotten one that suits to our strong points. I really hope we can win the next two though. As much as it's exciting to blindside people, at the end of the day I don't really get a lot of enjoyment out of hurting people's feelings. I'd like our tribe to just enjoy each other's company till the merge if we can.

This vote is finally easy for once. Brandon is finally saying so long. Never before have I seen someone who deserved to get voted out as much as Brandon. So, there ya go buddy. You have no one to blame but yourself for this. Still like you as a person though!

I always think that every vote is going to be headache free, but something always has to come along and mess that up. This might sound confusing but, this round it was Jose telling Adrian that I told Jose that Adrian was telling everyone to vote Jose last round. Um, what? I mean I can't get mad at Jose, because I totally was planning on voting him last round before Ian opened his mouth. But still, how dare you lie to try to make me look bad! So, had to do damage control there with Adrian, and I'm going to have to confront Jose about it. Hell fucking no if we lose again am I going to be his target. Helllll no.

Apologizes, I don't know why Skype changed how they display the time on this chat. It looks weird.

Adrian 12:36 PM
Anyway
12:37 PM
I just wanted to speak to you about something Joe said to me before the Ian vote.
Dave 12:37 PM
ok, shoot
Adrian 12:38 PM
Well, he said that you told him that I was going around telling everyone to vote for him.
Dave 12:38 PM
what?
Adrian 12:38 PM
He came to me and said that straight-up when he was nervous about going home
Dave 12:38 PM
I never ever said that
Adrian 12:39 PM
I hope not
12:39 PM
I have been nothing but straight-up with you since we formed our alliance
Dave 12:40 PM
same here man
12:40 PM
I'll send you all the chats I've had with Jose if you want
12:40 PM
I've got nothing to hide from you
Adrian 12:40 PM
I just wanted to confirm with you, because in my mind, it clicked with when you were suggesting I throw myself out there as a decoy again.
Dave 12:41 PM
[2012-11-18 12:19:48 AM] Dave: omg I know
[2012-11-18 12:20:25 AM] Dave: it's weird too cause Adrian told me that it was Brandon/Danielle that had the idea to split the votes between me/you so we'd waste our idols the first round
[2012-11-18 12:20:32 AM] Dave: but Brandon said it was Adrian/Tomas
[2012-11-18 12:21:16 AM] Dave: however Adrian told me about everything and told me he wasn't going to go through with the plan because Brandon/Danielle weren't helpful in challenges
[2012-11-18 12:21:23 AM] Dave: except the fact it was his plan
[2012-11-18 12:21:25 AM] Dave: if it was his plan
[2012-11-18 12:21:26 AM] Dave: idk
[2012-11-18 12:21:27 AM] Dave: lmao
[2012-11-18 12:21:29 AM] Joe: lol i hear ya
12:41 PM
that's about the closest I said to it?
Adrian 12:42 PM
Hmmm...
12:42 PM
Maybe Joe was hooked on a Brandon seed
12:42 PM
I don't blame him for being paranoid
12:43 PM
That is why I came to you first before jumping to any conclusions
Dave 12:43 PM
thanks Smiley
Adrian 12:43 PM
I am relieved
Dave 12:43 PM
honestly, it'd be SO stupid for me to say that to Jose anyways
12:43 PM
we need to win challenges
12:43 PM
we need to our strongest people and most loyal to go to the merge
Adrian 12:43 PM
Even if it were true, I was gonna suggest we bury it.
12:44 PM
for those exact reasons
Dave 12:44 PM
you've had my back since Day 1 (well maybe Day2/Day3 Smiley with tongue out)
12:44 PM
I'm not the type of person to betray that
12:45 PM
so yeah, if you're ever doubting me or if you hear something someone else says feel free to bring it up with me
12:45 PM
I'm really glad you did it
12:45 PM
I'd rather there be 100% open communication between us
12:45 PM
then doubts
Adrian 12:44 PM
I think Joe was just hearing different things from everyone
12:45 PM
either way, I think the team will finally find unity now
12:45 PM
Even Joe has made more of an effort after the Ian vote
12:46 PM
Same here
12:47 PM
I hope you have no reason to mistrust me other than what happened in the beginning
12:47 PM
Even then, I came up and confessed
Dave 12:47 PM
agreed, I think our tribe will be unified and can finally all work together
12:47 PM
and yeah, I honestly trust you the most on this tribe
Adrian 12:47 PM
Sure, I know I lied to Ian BIG TIME but we all did.
12:47 PM
I apreciate that a lot.
12:48 PM
I trust you and Tomas the most
Dave 12:48 PM
I trust Tomas second, I need to talk to him more
12:48 PM
just need to catch him when he's online more
Adrian 12:49 PM
Tom has also been honest and eager to work with the right people. I just wish I didn't keep missing him on Skype.
12:49 PM
snap!
Dave 12:49 PM
haha, yeah that's what I think about him too
12:50 PM
like, I know we've never really out right said it. But I really see you/me/him being the core three of the tribe
12:50 PM
and I really want to go as far as I can with you two in the game
Adrian 12:50 PM
I feel the same way
12:50 PM
I love little Ryan too
Dave 12:50 PM
I do too, it's just sometimes hard to relate with him
12:50 PM
seeing we are at different stages of life
12:50 PM
he's honestly great though
Adrian 12:50 PM
But I do think he is prone to making mistakes and errors in judgement because of his age
12:51 PM
agreed
12:51 PM
he is smart and holds his own with us, but he is a little shy
12:51 PM
I also feel he struggles to relate
12:51 PM
I have a ton of respect for him, though
Dave 12:51 PM
oh me too, for sure
12:52 PM
and I'd love to see him go far as well
Adrian 12:52 PM
He has been more of a man than half our tribe
12:52 PM
Me too
12:52 PM

To be quite honest I don't fully trust Adrian what so ever. I've already seen what he's done to Brandon/Danielle/Ian so I know he's willing to do whatever in this game. He keeps going on about how he wonders who told Brandon that he has two idols... I wouldn't be shocked if it was himself, and that he's going to try to place the blame on someone else. Unfortunately for me I have no choice but to trust him in this game because we need to win challenges and he's our strongest challenge competitor. I can't tell if he fully trusts me or not either, but if he doesn't I feel he's in the same boat as me. He can't take me out right now because we need to win challenges.

Either way in that chat with Adrian I pretty much said hey I want to go to the F3 with you and Tomas. Do I really? No. Not really. I don't want Adrian anywhere close to the end game because I can already tell you he's going to win 100% hands down. Hell, if he gets to the end and I'm on the jury he'll get my vote unless he becomes a huge ass douchebag to me. He's a great player. Strong in challenges, has a strategic mind and very social with everyone. Fuck no do I want someone like that anywhere near the finals. haha.

However, I'm not against taking Tomas with me to the end game. He's much much more UTR than Adrian and since he's rarely around on skype because of his time zone, I feel if I'd be able to get the American's votes just based on social game play. I'm getting WAY too far ahead of myself though. Need to get to the merge first and foremost. Then work on getting to the end. Still, it never hurts to think about future options!
