Last night I lay awake thinking on how to deal with the threat of everyone playing idols now and leaving none for us to keep numbers at the merge, but I was fuzzy on the details - HOWEVER - after talking with Ian and Tomas it became more clear to me what needs to be done.
Right now I am in an alliance with Myself; Tomas; Danielle and Brandon. We have two potential 5th members in Ian and Quanz. At this stage neither Jose nor Dave have contacted me, which worries me and makes me not all that enthused about keeping them around. That puts them as the outsiders as far as I am concerned.
What worries me is the thought of Brandon and Danielle joining forces with the other Canadians. They already want Quanz in our alliance with themselves, myself and Tomas - so that leaves a 3-2 split in our alliance of 5. I think that if Ian can be our 5th, Tomas and I can go with Ian if the Canadians get sketchy - or go with the Canadians if Ian starts trying to pull big moves that could screw us over. Ian is more likely at this stage to go with us because he is also nervous about a Canadian alliance.
This means that Quanz will then be the ideal 1st boot of our tribe for me and this is why:
If the 6 of us split our votes 3 - 3 between Jose and Dave, either one of them will go home provided they don't play their idols. If we can get Ian to convince them to vote Quanz (while we all convince him he won't need to play his idol because we will be 'so sure' it won't be him) then he will go home if they do play theirs. We will get Ian to convince them to play the idols for this to happen (and if anyone finds out, Ian will look like the bad guy) This means that Quanz will go home with an idol in his pocket and Jose and Dvae won't have an idol left. If we lose more challenges, we send them home easily. That way, the rest of us will merge with idols and play them the 1st chance we get, hoping that the Kwele tribe members have played some of theirs and we send one of them home and keep the numbers. If they all have an idol somehow, then we go to a revote and do whatever we need to, but it would be our best option in such a scenario.
It is confusing and super risky, but if this works out, we will have a shot as a 5 person alliance to control the numbers.
I have a few other scenarios, but I will put them into play, or mull them around if I need to. I hope I can make this work with the help of my alliance.
