Another tie vote and the vast majority of votes were for newbies. We're now entering the final 12 with only 5 active newbies and 6 active vets. Do the vets want to all stick together until the end of the game?

Do you know what happened tonight or do you feel out of control with the game? What can you do from this point forward to take control of your fate in the game? Are there moves to be made? Who seems to have the most tension among them? Which newbies are you most closely aligned with? Do you think vets will start making hits against other vets to gain control soon?

Evil genius #strategy plan I came up with:
One of the best parts of the Gary vote, as I emphasized in my audio confessional, is that my core group cannot be flipped on! With Danni solidly with Fuckboys (or so it appears), the other six - Lucy/Adam/Zeke and Chrissy/Lydia/Ryan - would have to team up to take us out. But Chrissy/Lydia/Ryan just voted for Adam last tribal council - there's no way there's trust there to get together.

I want to use that effect to enable my alliance to run the game - turn everyone else against each other and ignore our alliance until it's too late. Everyone seems to want Ryan, and if he loses immunity he's not a hill I'm going to die on. But if Ryan wins immunity, I think it'd be a great idea to pit Lydia against Zeke. We can tell them that the other is targeting them and blindside Zeke who Drew believes has the Taino idol (that's what Gary told him a while ago). So we'd be able to get the idol out of play, and there'd be 0 chance of Lydia teaming up with Adam in the next round. Leaving our opposition paralyzed.
