This is where you can post about the goings on in the game as they occur!

[Brian]

Ok well you one-upped me lol, we can use this.

[Gary]

do we have chat?

[Gary]

Best I can tell, votes against me in the tiebreak were: Dale Drew Joaq Caryn Zeke Adam and maybe Lucy.

This is what I THOUGHT would happen after the Hannah vote. but What I did not expect was for Danni and Lydia to apparently distance themselves from me immediately and lie to me today before I had a chance to do anything.

I feel like the only one who knows the vets are gonna steamroll everyone.

hey, merge boot aint bad.

Honestly that was what I was trying to prevent. I wanted Ryan out Thursday night even though it would have been a bullshit way for him to go even if he was sus as fuck. But still, like I knew the vets could and might steamroll. And this round the only vet who I think they'd backstab was safe so clearly that didn't work. I felt like my elimination definitely fucked that up since I know I had planted myself well between everyone and might have made this not a pagonging but now I guess we'll wait and see.

[Gary]

you're right that I worked my ass off on nutaino. but ultimately, that was my undoing. Because the only way to save myself over there was to work with Ryan. Otherwise I would certainly fall victim to the 5 taino that swapped there together. But Ryan was relentless in his attempts to go after vets, and I had this same goal. Unfortunately, when I got to the merge, Danni and Lydia were both too close to the vets to risk saying any of their names.

I got bamboozled a little bit by Zeke and Adam because I was surprised they forgave me for blindsiding them in the final Taino TC. But as I thought would happen, they hadn't forgiven me and scampered across to the vets and I'm certain voted with them.

THe Dale rift is total nonsense. despite me being super clear with everyone that I worked with Ryan out of neccesity, they still acted like him and I were a pair. Jim messaged me and saying he felt comfortable with Chrissy, Ryan and I. I said I agree. And I suspect that he ran off and told Dale. THe other possibility id that Adam and Zeke were leaking like a faucet to Dale.

Either way, I was fully on board to vote out Ryan today because he was sinking my ship so fast. but then he won immunity, I realized it was gonna be me, and I had to vote out Adam to force a tie.

TBH, most of the vets and Taino said they were gonna boot you at the merge. I think Lydia was the only one fully behind you.

Seriously? Why would they do that honestly, like I don't think any of the newbies actually were able to prove trust as much as I was because I was with them basically from the get-go. But whatever.

[Gary]

IDK. Dale for sure hated you. Caryn too. Joaq didn't trust you. Chrissy didn't trust you.

I think they just thought you had your hands in too many pots.

[Gary]

The most fucked up bit in all this though is that the reason Jim went after me was cuz after he posted about quitting, I told him that people will probably want to vote him out. Trying to do a bro a favor there. but Somehow he turned this into a personal attack against him or something. and scampered over to the very people who were saying his name. hilarious.

Oh yikes. Was the Hannah boot a blindside then? Honestly I didn't get to talk to her much when I was on Refuge so I never really saw her in a strong spot on Taino. The problem that we had in particular was that our tribe ended up being a lot of vets along with some lesser active players, which really just didn't bode well. I think things would have been better this season with a more even distribution of vets on the tribes since that really is why I think they're united at the moment. Hopefully though Ryan joins us soon since I think he is running on thin air at the moment.

People are just really weird honestly, and I think it being between you/Adam didn't help Zeke or Lucy. It sucks that at the end of the day, this season came down to tribal lines in some aspects and I just think people will regret it when the vets make the end and we all might not get another chance at this series.

[Brian]

IDK. Dale for sure hated you. Caryn too. Joaq didn't trust you. Chrissy didn't trust you.

I think they just thought you had your hands in too many pots.

That figures honestly, I think I was trying to hard to be an asset to people when I should have concealed more.

[Gary]

The Hannah vote was shitty. I actually had everone lined up to vote Chrissy ONLY because she's a vet, but my favorite vet. But then Adam and Zeke chickened out so it was gonna be Jim. Then before tribal, I asked Hannah where she was going, and she said Chrissy. So I got spooked, figured they were gonna toss three votes onto me. So we all flipped to Hannah. I was ok with Hannah, because I had a feeling that Ryan wanted to keep her there so he could latch onto those three and have a nice block of 4 to go to war. but long term, Chrissy was just way too good to leave alone. Of all the vets, I hope she wins.

I'll be embarrassed if the final 4 or 5 are all vets.

Trying to do a bro a favor there. but Somehow he turned this into a personal attack against him or something. and scampered over to the very people who were saying his name. hilarious.

This made me infuriated because honestly, after all that fucking shit we went through he couldn't have quit during the rocks? Or just let me swap out for him by default because it was evident how mad I was? Like I honestly would not have been as mad if I was traditionally voted out in a twist that wasn't 110% luck.

I was with Joaquin for a while and he was far and away the best socially, so I'm rooting for him honestly. Drew and Ryan would be the best goats since I just think they're along for the ride and Ryan failed at establishing basic trust with anyone and doesn't deserve to win for that. Chrissy and Caryn would be fine, although I can't vote for Dale because he kept telling me how I was his number one ally and then if he hated me, I just find that to be fucking rude? Like seriously, lying is one thing but that's a new level. So disrespectful and quite frankly offensive.

I'm sorry I'm bitter but goddamn does this cast now infuriate me all of a fucking sudden. I guess that's what happens when you leave in a bullshit way and then the game becomes bullshit as a result?

yeah it was a shitty way for you to go. Lydia was devastated.Jim should have stepped up or told Jeff further in advance about this.

Push come to shove, Brian were you gonna stick with OG lucayan? I hadn't been able to talk to you in so long, I had to develop some doubts.


Obligatory conspiracy theory: I've considered this a few times, but I'll lose my shit if the vets have been faking this Ryan thing all along. That would be an epic play and I would vote for all of them to split the money.

[Brian]

Note: The game is only bullshit now because they voted you out over Jim.

I wish I had copies of what Dale said about you the other day. He was all but spitting on your grave. He despised you, like I can't emphasize that enough. Caryn too, but she held her tongue a little more.

Ryan would be a great winner. What a great underdog story.
