So, it's time to politic, regroup, and build some new strong bonds. Sam is definitely in my corner and is someone I want to go to the final 2 with - everyone else is fair game. I'm trying to build my bonds with the old Mbochi members because they "technically" have an upper hand with more people, but I will have to win them over with my charming personality <3 I need to watch Renee because she's pissed at me and that ain't good for my game at all.. boo boo need to watch her back, for real. I do think my move last TC was good in showing Adrian that I wasn't "against" him per say, even though, I did want him out for being a threat. But, another threat went, so it doesn't matter to me. Original tribal lines won't be a big factor in my opinion, but I'm here to make sure it isn't if there was ever that thought!

Well, my strategy has certainly shifted with the ever changing dynamics of the game. My personality gets me over a lot, which is always amaaaaze, but I'm going to have to use my idol this round just to get pass this "voting with my original tribe is safer..." shit. With Sagar winning the immunity, Sam and I instantly became targets and keeping the idol any longer is not worth it. I totally expect the dynamic to change after this round and I'll be able to worm my way in and make some magic happen, but until then, I'll play the victim card and tug at the strings of their hearts to get them to keep me around. Since I'm going to use my idol, the breakdown of the votes is crucial and will be very telling as to what direction or move I will need to make (w/ Sam, of course). I'm a huge fan of Dave! and I like Adrian a lot, but they're both huge threats, esp since they will still have idols after this tribal. Sam has a good bond with Quanz and milks him for info, but we aren't sure if everything he's saying is genuine. Talking to Joe was quite helpful - he basically admitted he was at the bottom of his group, which will be helpful down the road, for sure. The tribal lines are broken and will be less of an issue the rounds to come, but making an impression and getting people to think I'm nice, but still not a threat and weak at challenges (which won't be hard since I usually suck at them anyway)... I'm rolling with the "...as long as it ain't Sandra" and "bigger fish to fry..." strategy until I get some numbers on my side again. Activate operation survival mode.

K, some new developments:
Sagar is a hardcore gamer. like hardcore. like, I couldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, and for this weakling, not very far. I went along with his little schemes, but as far as I'm concerned, he better hope and pray he wins the immunity again because his ass is grass. Plus, I'm thinking him and Sam may be tighter than they're leading on - Sam is mineee, so Sagar has got to go. We have never given each other our word to stick together and he seems like he is really playing hard. He came up with these elaborate lies to tell Jose to try to get him to vote with "us," - I agreed to it and didn't do it because I have jury management guidelines to adhere to and to get Jose on my side doesn't require the elaborate "promise him a f2" lie to make it happen. I'll make him look like the asshole that I truly am.
The plan seems like Renee from what I'm hearing, but I'm going to throw Tomas a vote for the hell of it. Not a lot of feathers to ruffle with that decision and we'll see where the chips fall. I'm going to use my idol (a) because I don't completely trust the old Mbochi, but more importantly (b) because I am less of a "threat" as a result - people with idols have huge targets on their back for it. Having an idol is not the end all be all that you're safe, but playing it right is. After this TC, I will be working on worming my way into the group so that I don't even have to worry about needing an idol to stay alive (since we know challenges are reeeeally not my thing).
But then again, I'm softening up some. This group is more accepting of it. The straight guys especially. I've got to woo them and get them to believe that I'm a nice, genuine guy to then turn around and vote them out delicately. I'm with Sam, for sure, but I'm feeling out the group of Mbochi men to see who would be a good choice to begin to work on - I'm working on Dave and Adrian, both seemingly nice guys that will be honest and play fair -- I give off the illusion that I'm the same way, so both of them have definitely taken a liking to me it seems. I've got to manage my bonds and not let them overlap because it'll be trouble for me - I don't want everyone to know that I'm trying to align with everyone, but that's kind of what's about to go down... stay tuned, loves. <3
