Stranded in Turks & Caicos

Well if you're gonna go... a double-blindsides one hell of a way to do it.

Lol. No terrible Ponderosas from me this time. And I get to enjoy my vacation!

Dale and I sniffed out that Drew had flipped on us earlier today, should have been my first instinct even though I think it was stupid. Just didn't think Caryn would want to lose a meat shield so early.

I am actually not thinking it was a great game move from him, I attracted the attention from pretty much everyone and kept it off him. Plus, I'm actually really good friends with him outside of the game and was willing to play my idol for him

I also really am curious to see how Danni plays this. We were best friends and allies all pre merge and then as soon as the merge hit just kept getting more distant when I had her back 100%. If it's because she didn't think she could beat me and Dale in the end that's one thing but if it was for another reason I think it's dumb

I think she maybe felt outside of you 4 vets? Only thing I could think of. She was very popular though and probably had a lot of people trying to pull her around. Did you tell her about the vote against me?

Consolidating this discussion to the game discussion thread, this thread is for circlejerking my existence only.

All praise king Joaquin, flusher of babies.

Wtf I thought we were BFFs? Bitch?

Lol Brian you were a roller coaster man. At first I thought you were so fake and then I realized you actually wanted to work with me so we were chill and then you started targeting drew :/

Honestly so fair about the fake thing, but clearly now you regret not getting out Drew when I said something? Also no offense but really, Drew was busy and kind of boring so him > me? Ok.

Brian, me Joaq, and Drew played together in Indonesia and me and Drew were partners in Allies. Why would we turn on Drew when we knew you’d probably flip at the merge anyways and go back to Gary and Lydia. I know you’re mad and you think you would have won this season blah blah, but you gotta let it go. Don’t be me in Allies. Stranded isn’t that important, I promise.

Lmao oops, didn’t know that. That adds up since honestly Drew has gotten by on that in my opinion. I am mainly mad because of the bullshit twist I left on and then not being allowed to straight up replace Jim, not because of being out in general.

When has anyone been allowed to re enter the game to replace someone though? If anything THAT would have been the real bullshit. I’d have been so mad and if you made it to FTC I’d have made sure you lost because you got two chances while the rest only had one.

Would have been bullshit if you were allowed back in. I was already talking shit about you to bond with other people, if you magically re-entered the game that affects the entire strategy of the game.

Again, to re-emphasize Probst's point, the twist is a bit odd but 1) we had plenty of time to strategize a vote and no one wanted to say a thing 2) if anything blame Jim for not taking himself out a day or two earlier

I guess this where we just agree to disagree. I don’t think an inactive should remain in over an active player and I was truly offended when that occurred. But you all should feel worse because you all couldn’t just put things aside and boot him the next round. So yeah my bigger problems are with Jim here but the twist is bullshit still because while sure, we could’ve, no one was going to and we know it. Plus Jim made a good point there, nobody was going to go with a suggested target anyways. So it wouldn’t have made a difference. Plus the immunity challenge was luck too which I also found to be a problem. I don’t think I was robbed for gameplay reasons, more just the twist that unfairly fucked me over and shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

We had the same twist last season and there were people that spoke out about who they wanted to vote out. Pretty much all of us got on the same page that way. I'm saying that would have worked this season, but it's just proof that the twist isn't all to blame. I think the mindset of everyone in the game was the problem.

I'm not saying*

JOAQ NOO. probably the chillest person with me in the game, and I thought a great player. I mean reading all of the messages so far in ponderosa, I realize my perception of how the game was going is a little off, but I would have gone the whole way with you out of pure respect for you as a person and I viewed you as a good friend in this game. Don’t know how much you were really giving back to me in terms of alliance but it doesn’t really matter as it’s just a game, and you’re still cool to me

Jim, you were cool man, I always respected embracing the twist and going to Refuge first. Thanks for the high praises

The problem was just that you weren't as active/giving me as much as some of the other people - I just wasn't sure if that was how you were playing and you really did want to be with me or if you were tighter with Chrissy and I was an auxiliary number. But that's all in the past now
