Well I have learned many things. To start, it has been clear that the easiest and smoothest past is not reality. In a game where we had 6 vets come back and several swaps and twists, you gotta think outside of the box x2 and explore every option. Many times I found myself thinking I could trust certain people and in reality they wanted my head or really were not with me. Sometimes that meant I had to temporarily put myself with people that I wasn’t going to use long term or someone who I knew wanted me out but in order to advance I needed to team up and make this happen.
I have also learned that sometimes the biggest move and option isn’t always the smartest at the time. In modern day stranded/Survivor, people LOVE to make big moves to put on their resume. Sometimes it may not be necessary or not the right time. Not to say you wait too long or your passive, but you gotta know when the right time is.
My goal to win is basically to pull off a few big vote offs. We have an idol in play still and right now I gotta make sure it’s flushed and either Danni or Drew go. They are still the biggest threats and also the ones who can flip my game upside down but I gotta be careful but aggressive too.
I have to also alter people’s perception of me. While some may see me as a great player, these girls have painted me as just some guy who goes with the numbers and talks to people which is bullshit. I gotta make it obvious I have been fighting my way through the game and had to keep myself alive constantly without an idol or immunity. My relationships and bonds with people big or small have helped me get this far. I have been self aware in this game and that I can take control. These next 3 votes I gotta position myself in the front and make it clear that I am having a strong finish. I plan on sticking with Zeke and Lucy because I do think I can beat both of them. Lucy was close with a lot on lucayan but she has Chrissy deranged and pissed at her. So she is probably bitching about her on the jury and at this point it seems people may see her as mine and Zeke’s goat. That’s not true but for my game it works. Zeke will be harder because he is strategic and also hasn’t really had his name thrown around like I have so it may paint him out to be like a steady and solid player verses I was barely hanging on sometimes. With the other three in the game, I don’t think I have a chance at beating them since the whole jury is mostly Lucayan originally and vets who will respect them more so than me or I will have to REALLY fight to make he jury see me in a winners light.
If I am at the end I am going to have to paint this picture that I was a threat and people wanting me out this whole time said something. I Was not carried and while my game may not of been the flashiest I used my strategy to bond and connect with people so they kept me around. I maneuverd where I had to but stayed loyal to the two Taino people and did whatever I had to do to stay alive without advantages or immunities.
So in conclusion that’s my strategy. I will update later because the way things or going, plans may change
