Congratulations on making it to the top 8! How are you feeling now that we're getting closer and closer to the top 3? What are you going to do to push yourself to the finish line?

Tonight's challenge involved matching contestants to statements. How do you feel about the outcomes? Do you think they are reliable to how people actually feel?

Who do you think is the next to go and how are you going to make sure it's not you?

[Adam]

Thanks! I feel a sense of accomplishment given that I have almost been taken out so many times but yet I am still standing. I came in with like 2 people on my side of 14 but somehow I managed to make it this far. I am going to continue to build my relationships with Lydia, Caryn, and Danni and get them to trust me. I have been mistaken several times and now I gotta correct this.

The outcome does really bother me. It's not like I assumed I was this huge player or anything but the fact ive been a target so many times I would of hoped people respected that. I was wrong it seems. I do believe people like me and some really like me, but I have some kind of reputation that precedes me. I have to change it. I gotta start stepping it up now and taking out the RIGHT people. I would much rather get voted out for being a threat or for trying to make a good move than go to the end and be a goat.

I think its vital we take out Danni. Homegirl has lots of friends in the game and she has the respect of people on the jury it seems. I think she is dangerous and we need to blindside her asap.

So let's do this... I like doing this right after the quiz challenge because it allows you to see what the end-game might look like.

Rank the players in the game from Most threatening to win down to Least. Include yourself.

Where do you fall in this ranking? if you are towards the bottom, how can you improve your optics for the jury in order to have a shot at winning the game? If you are towards the top, what can you do to convince the others to stay over less-threatening players?

Are you a goat? Are you fighting with the others over sitting in the final 3 with the goats?

[Adam]

1. Danni- She has a lot of relationships with people on the jury and still in the game. Danni is at an advantage where she isn’t a vet. I also think she could have found the merge idol.

2.Caryn- Everyone loves Caryn. She is funny, but also a very balanced person too. Out of all the vets she is the least threatening so no one is targeting her but she could pull a Sandra on us.

3. Chrissy- with Chrissy she has been thrown around a lot but has managed to stay and still has allies. I rank her here because she is a vet and at a huge disadvantage with being taken out soon if she doesn’t have an idol. Not sure how close she is with everyone on the jury but I know she is still a contender to win.

4. Lucy- Lucy has survived a swap and being the only original Taino member on lucayan. Since then she has kept her relationships with Zeke and I while making new ones. I do believe she has successfully deceived the lucayan girls into thinking she doesn’t have a relationship with Zeke and I, which is a bold face lie. I think myself and Zeke are in bigger danger to go home before her.

5. Zeke- It’s a wildcard with Zeke. He is a strategist and has made some Solid and great relationships with all of us. I think where Zeke lacks is he isn’t always personable with people. He is lucky he was not used as a scapegoat I.e. me but he is smart and knows how to strategize and hasn’t been a target yet. I do feel like though socially he is at a disadvantage with the women left.

6. Adam- I put myself here because of a few things. I’ve made some big mistakes and put myself in a position where I was used as scapegoat and trusted the wrong people. Trusting Dale was a huge mistake and it caused me to falsely accuse other people of throwing my name out. Dale worked to my advantage for a time being but I was wrong. Thing is I have made great social relationships and many have come to me talking about how they like me and want to keep me around. I think that has been my best thing since it has been what’s kept me around. Sadly I don’t think a lot of players see that but I have to turn that around and make a move.

7. Lydia- I only put Lydia here because she was called a goat too. I never thought she was but I guess people see her that way. Lydia is lovable and has beasted in challenges but I think in her alliance she has just been a number. Not many see her as a threat and even though that may be a weakness, it could be a strength too. I don’t think she will go anytime soon, but if this is all true she will end up in third place.

8. Drew- I don’t think Drew has a shot to win at all. He has relationships but he has been so wishy washy and has been left out of plans before and didn’t know which side was voting. Hell I’ve been tied several times but I knew who was in trouble everytime and have made relationships to make sure that doesn’t happen. Plus Drew has been caught lying or throwing people under the bus. As in last tribal he told me Danni threw a vote at me and while it was true, Danni came and confessed to me what happened and told me the whole story. Drew is playing a game that could go either really well or really bad. He keeps this up then he won’t get any votes.

[Adam]

I am towards the bottom and I need to fix that. I have a plan of what to do and at this point I don’t think I have anything to lose. I need to either pull in Caryn and Lydia or Drew and Lydia with Lucy, myself and Zeke. My mind is going to Drew and Lydia because I think they will be easier to convince and work with. We need to get either Danni, Chrissy, or Caryn out. Danni is my number one to target. She is playing a great game and I think if she got to the end she would get all the votes thrown at her with all the Lucayan on the jury. Plus her and Brian were really tight and I know he can influence the jury. I have to start making some moves and fighting to take out these threats. Also not letting Zeke be seen as the initiatior because he and I are a bit too closely connected in others eyes. We have to break up the trio of Chrissy, Caryn, and Danni and it starts with Danni. I refuse to be taken to the end just to be seen as a goat or dead fish. I would rather go out trying to accomplish something and making a big move that will benefit me verses that. I have to gain some control and get more numbers solidified. If this gets me booted then I can leave with dignity.
