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?

Last night was an absolute fucking mess.

I think we all knew that Ryan had a serious chance at winning immunity, but still no one even bothered to mention a backup plan. So when Ryan actually did immunity, all hell broke loose in those 30 minutes before tribal.

I suddenly started hearing Gary’s name a lot, which was random. But I know that there was a lot of talk that Gary had the idol and I felt like he knew his name was being brought up when I was talking to him before the tribal. So when Lucy approached me about just randomly voting for Jim, I agreed purely because I felt like if Gary played the idol, the worst case scenario would be 2 votes on Jim (me/Lucy) & 2 votes on Dale (Ryan/Gary). And then Jim would just get voted out at the revote.

Well, that’s not fucking happened lmao. First off, Lucy left me in the dust and betrayed the plan, which made me look like fucking idiot. And then there were a lot of fucking votes for Adam, which I didn’t even know was gonna happen. I mean Chrissy told me before tribal that she was voting Adam, but I didn’t know there was gonna be a whole ass group of people voting Adam. So naturally I voted out Gary on the revote because I figured that’s where most of the veterans were putting their votes as well.

So after tribal, I ask around about the whole Adam thing, and Dale says he told some of the Lucayan newbies to vote for Adam as a decoy boot to make Gary feel comfortable + in case Gary played his idol, Adam would be the one voted out. And it’s like..... why the fuck did you not tell me any of this lmao? All he told me was that he was hearing a bunch of votes were coming in for Gary. And that just kinda shows me that Dale doesn’t really care about me as an ally, he just sees me as another number on his side. I mean I was already suspecting that was the case, but last night pretty much confirmed it.

And I mean, here’s the thing. Ryan is pretty much fucked if he doesn’t win immunity again. As a matter of fact, he’s probably gonna have to win out on these challenges just to stay alive in this game every round. Because no one likes the guy, literally everyone wants him gone. But the thing about Ryan is that, and I hate to admit it, but everything he’s saying is true. Dale & Joaquin are aggressive players, they’re manipulative as hell, and they’re big threats that nobody else seems to want to get rid of out of fear.

In different circumstances, I probably could have worked with Ryan to get these guys outta here. But I can’t do that anymore, because he has pissed everyone off with his antics. Even though everything he’s saying is true, he’s not been going about it the right way. You have to work your way from behind the scenes to the main stage. But Ryan is just storming onto the main stage and into the spotlight unannounced and unwanted. You can’t go around to everyone and throw Dale & Joaquin under the bus and shit, because it’s going to find their way back to them lol. He’s way too fucking reckless, so I have to let him go once he loses immunity.

Right now I’m in the progress of starting up this bad bitches alliance thing between all the people in this game who’s rep has a vagina. I’ve already told both Chrissy & Lucy about it and they both seemed ecstatic at the prospect and were down with it. I’m still probably gonna wait for a couple rounds before telling Danni/Lydia, but Danni pretty much hinted to me this morning that she doesn’t feel like she’s in a great position after last night. So I think I can easily rope her in once I do tell her, and by extension rope in Lydia as well.
