Round 11 - Rafiki

ROUND 11
Rafiki

I’m actually surprised Sagar left last night so easily. I was expecting him to put him a huge spectacle to try to change some minds, or do something, do anything really. I said hello and we chatted about nothing for a while before TC, but he never mentioned the game. It made me feel like Tomas/Sam/Sagar were going to vote for Jose… but nope.

Well that works for me.

I feel like I really should trust Jose 100% now after everything we’ve been through together, but I really don’t. lmao. I fully am expecting him to turn on me every round, and it’s what is keeping me on my toes in this game. I’m not sure if he’d actually take me to the end or not even though we have a F2. I’d like to hope so, but as far as my mentality goes. It’s every man for himself at this point.

I’m still going to take him to the end though. Not because I personally believe I can beat him, but because he’s the first person I made a F2 deal with and I’m going to honour that. Though it might not seem that way, I do have loyalty in these games and I do appreciate the importance of working with someone closely in this game. You need a person you’re safe to bounce ideas off of no matter how damning those words are if the wrong ears heard them. Jose was that person for me this game.

My goal is to win these last two immunity challenges to make it to the F2. I don’t want to have to rely on people’s trust when it’s so close to the end. I want to rely on me. If I don’t get immunity, well then I’ll go to plan B and rely on my social skills. It bodes well for me that Sam is so busy with exams that he isn’t really around to chat with any of us. This means I don’t think Tomas would vote me out at the F4. He’s a loyal guy, and I think (hope!) he’s still deadest on a Mbochi winning this game.

It works well that if I don’t have immunity I can easily plead with both Jose and Tomas that Sam can easily win this game if he makes it to the end. He’s easily won challenges before and can easily pick up 3 American votes right away. The latter isn’t true in the slightest because I doubt Renee would ever vote for Sam, and I’m pretty sure Sam/Sagar didn’t see eye to eye after the auction fiasco, but I don’t know if Jose/Tomas actually know that.

I’m excited for tonight! Hopefully I win this challenge and it’s smooth sailing to the final 3! Ideally Sam will be the next person to go because I need this game to finish ASAP so I can be in Houston with no worries, and I need him to not slow things down with being unavailable on days!!

Ohhhhhh. Dave being very likely to win, and the hosts favorite by a ton, with me being the host's most hated, and Dave having to leave for Houston on the 14th. That actually makes sense now why you bumrushed through the F8 to F4 endgame. Not taking normal time and ignoring my schedule in favor of Dave's.

Still crappy though that you would screw me and rush through your game, especially when I ended up outlasting him lol. Just another example of why a host should never be biased for a player no matter what - it will always backfire on you. You'd think after 16 games you would have learned that by now?

I admit this post is a little snarky, but I think it is deserved given the situation. =)

LOL

Yes. The hosts favoured me the entire merge because I told them I was leaving for vacation at the F5. Makes perfect sense for them to favour my schedule starting at the F8.

Had we been biased towards Dave I am pretty sure we would have catered challenges to suit him.

If we all thought like you Mr. Sam ORGs would systematically die out from predictability, as would anyone else's singular mind. Dave was insightful, nice to talk with and wasn't a condescending, arrogant dick who thought he was a hybrid player/host.

We catered more for you this game than anyone else, bearing in mind that Dave told us of his absence prior to the merge.

This game has finished, you played great and nobody will take that away from you, but this series is a fun little game... Why does everyone but you get that it's not the be all and end all? It won't change the world, it won't be chronicled in important events of humanity... It's just a game!

We do truly respect how much you care for these ORGs, but coming on a forum where everyone has pretty much gone so you can get the last word and feel some self-importance is a bit pathetic.
