1. Caryn - No, this is not arrogance. I think it’s pretty clear at this point that I’m the biggest threat to win. I tried my best to play a very UTR strategic game but I pretty much threw that out the window with being the main architect of the all-girls alliance which caused the Joaq blindside & Dale vote off. Now my threat level has been exposed, and although I think I’ll be safe for this round, once this round is over I know there will be people plotting against me.
2. Lucy - I don’t think most people here see Lucy as a big of a threat to win as I do. And that’s probably cause I’ve managed to get close with her in this game, so I know just how good she is. She’s essentially playing the game that I wanted to play. Very UTR but still strategic, extremely social, literally everybody likes her and trusts her, and she’s on nobody’s radar right now. And that’s impressive, especially in the F8.
3. Danni - I think the fact that Danni is a very outspoken & colorful player has helped her game a lot, because despite what people may think, she’s not all that savvy. Like, she would not be here right now if it weren’t for me. And in the previous round she kinda exposed her lack of game savvy when she changed her vote last minute due to getting scared by Dale’s idol bluff. She’s still probably one of the more bigger threats here, but I don’t think she’s as good as some people on the jury think.
4. Chrissy - If I can describe Chrissy’s game in one word: desperation. I think she desperately wants to be one of the best players here, and honestly she’s probably convinced herself that she is. But..... nah lol. She let herself get played by Dale & Joaq one too many times, and socially she’s not very adept as well due to being a cunt to all the people she’s not aligned with. The only reason she’s this high is because the people below her are even worse.
5. Zeke - This guy is the embodiment of a faux-mastermind. I was simultaneously surprised & not surprised that he tied with me for most strategic. Because even though he’s done nothing noteworthy in this game, he tries his absolute hardest to sound as smart as possible. He tries to make all these “witty” and “clever” phrases and shit, it’s so annoying. He is by far the most fake person in this game. The only reason he’s above the other 3 is that I can see him being a great talker in a FTC scenario, even though about 95% of the stuff he’d say in a FTC would be absolute bullshit.
6. Drew - Man, I don’t know what the fuck happened to Drew. I thought he was a pretty great player in Indonesia, but I guess all the drugs and alcohol must’ve gotten to him cause he’s kind of an idiot now. I thought he played decently in the pre-merge, but he’s been out of the loop of too many merge votes to be considered a serious threat to win.
7. Lydia - She has the likability factor, and being the most nicest person left in the game. She’s pissed absolutely nobody off. But she’s also been a follower for pretty much the entire time I’ve been with her. And that’s really all I have to say.
8. Adam - Realistically if Adam made it to the end, he’d have a decent underdog story to sell due to getting votes at pretty much every tribal council since the merge. But that’s really all just coincidence, because Adam is by far the most gullible player in the game. The person that Adam trusts the least in this game could sell him a lie, and he’d still buy it. All he’s done in this merge has been latching onto better players (first Dale, now myself) and just following their every command. He let himself get absolutely slave-whipped by Dale, and had no clue that Dale was manipulating him until I was able to open his eyes and show him for myself. And that’s something that can’t be overlooked.
So yeah, those are my thoughts on the players that remain in the game. As an outside spectator, I’d probably only be content with a win from either myself, Lucy, or Danni. Any of the other 5 would be a disappointment, unless they really start to pick things up in the final stretch.
As for what I can do in this game to minimize my target, realistically the only thing I can do is continue to be entertaining in public instances so that these people would want to keep me around to make them laugh lol. I know that’s not really a good enough strategy, but there’s really nothing I can do at this point that can convince people that I’m not a giant threat.
