Xena is a bitch!

[Xena]

From what I understand this bitch fest is where I can post my confessionals for the lurkers to see? I hope so because that's what youre going to get.

Having won the first immunity challenge is a huge relief and gives our team a bit more time to get to know each other and find where we stand. So far that is a really difficult task because everyone on this team are really social, intimidating game wise and likeable. Basically my run down on my tribe so far is:

Selene: She's really nice and pleasant but from what I hear she is like to everyone. as much as she is engaging in our conversations it feels like she is doing the same to everyone, its a good strategy for her but it doesn't make me feel like getting to close to her and wanting a tight alliance with her. She sent a message recently, after she was made team leader and it was so generic!. it felt like she had sent the same thing to everyone because it was like "hey, you, haven't talked much game with anyone so hope we can build on that and we can talk about previous conversations" like none of it felt personal. It felt like she took the team leader role literally. I like her but I just think her immunity is a huge social advantage. We've all seen that in survivor, who ever has immunity is often at the centre of the game play or alliance of that tribal. They are the ones who can be confident in there move because they wont go home and that concerns me because if we don't go to tribal for sometime she really could just drill herself in between all of us and set her self up for the long run.

Cheery: I fucking love Cherry! she is on my level game wise and on the same page when we talk, she is blunt, straight to the point and wants to play. We have started talking alliances already and seems like she wants to work closely with me, which is great because that's what I wanted. I want to form a tight 4 person alliance with girls that we mutually like and then stay on the good side of everyone else to prevent flippers and chaos. She so far likes Noxeema, Selene and Mother Russia. I mentioned that I like Storm but it seems like Cherry and storm haven't talked much so Cherry doesn't seem to incline to bring her in close. So I guess storm to her is like Mother Russia to me. If I could have it my way it would be a tight 4 of Cherry, Storm, Mother Russia and myself. Even though I don't like mother Russia a great deal I feel if I have storm apart of it watching my back it could help me in case Cherry flips when numbers crunch.

Mother Russia: We don't talk enough for us to be that familiar with each other. Her opening message to me was kind of threatening and kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I think she is someone who could be a horrible bitch in this game but a lot of people seem to like her, so I will bite my tongue until its time to get rid of her. I am trying to get to know her more but her messages are just so fucking annoying! the half Russian/half English shit is so hard to keep track of and deal with. Like fair enough she doesn't in the public threads and works of her character but in private PM's its just too much.

Storm: I wouldn't say she is cooler then anyone else but I got a good vibe from her from the beginning. I think she wants to work with me and we are starting to talk game. I have told her I want to work closely with her, so hopefully she will feel the same way and I have offered her something before the rest. I think she would be a good unsuspecting ally to have in the game. Keep her up top with me, let the rest think they are above her. Hopefully she is loyal and reliable.

Claire. OMG she's so smart! just socially I think she is killing this game, everyone loves her! she is in the middle and she knows it. She knows that if someone wants a majority they will need her to be apart of it. I do love her as well but I think she is a huge threat. I think she will be really hard to get out and would probably have to leave on the back of a blindside. We have both offered each other an alliance and to work closely with each other because we are both middle bitches. It works for me as long as I don't start playing too many people and as long as we are both loyal to each other. I think it will have to be right timing for me to vote her out. Don't want to draw lines too early.

Baby Doll. She is really cool too, very real and relatable. I think she is in a similar position with Claire and wouldn't be surprised if she is working with Claire already. She seems to be acting similar to everyone and not really talking game but I think that's just so she can fly low and weave her way through the game. I'm happy to talk to her and build the connection, I really don't have a huge intention of voting her out soon. I think I will have to wait till a tribal before I consider how I will work that.

Noxeema: God she is funny! and everyone feels the same way about her. I like that she is pretty Down to earth and isn't beating around the bush too much. She seems pretty up front. We have started talking game. I think people have the impression that she is going to be a big target early on. Claire said that it would be good to keep her close so that the focus is on her and not on us. I think its true but I like Noxeema enough that I really want to work with her and have her as a tight ally.

Kayley. Very sweet but hasn't left a huge impression on me and hasn't really impressed Cherry from the sounds of it. I am sure she is really nice and likeable but I feel like everyone else is working this game harder than her. I think she just came in late with her game. But things can change so quickly in this game so I still have my eye on her. I think her strategy will be to fly under the radar and not bring too much attention to herself.

Trinity: I am finding it really hard to engage with her, I also think that her attitude to the opening was stupid. Just because there isn't teams doesn't mean you cant socialise. It sounds like a good 7 girls are happy to get rid of her first. She is very dull in her messages and hasn't done much to get anyone one her side. At the moment she seems to be on the bottom and is coming across as a safe vote for the first tribal.

My strategy in the game at the moment is to get that tight 4 alliance formed but also to get in good with Claire, Baby Doll, Noxeema and Selene. If they have their own alliance I want to make sure that I wont be on the receiving end of their blindside. Having Cherry as an alliance is good because I feel like she might come across as a bigger threat then me and could be targeted over me. I really want our first two tribals to be unanimous so that if this 4 person alliance forms we have a good chance of taking control. I hope I haven't been to arrogant in how I am playing so far because arrogance always kills my game. I think I have been playing a little too hard lately but I came into this game wanting to be up front and honest with how I play. I think right now I need to focus on staying social and getting in good with everyone, without coming across as a player. It seems to be working that I am up front because so far Storm, Cherry and Clair have talked alliances with me. Selene is also talking game now too. While our team is immune I think its a great time to build those connections and make things a little more personal and spin my web more.

[Xena]

This game is really starting to get interesting. This is only my second game where I have been in two tribe format and amongst 10 other players so its all kind of new and exciting to me. I lobe how everyone is like passing on whispers to each other and how there are little pairs forming and people are trying to rope each other in. I think that so far in the game I am in an ok position, not on the top but somewhere in the middle. its good to have people coming to me and trying to find trust in me. I feel like I am no ones first choice besides Cherries but people still want to work with me to benefit there own game... which is perfect because it means when they drawn the lines its their names and necks on that line.



From what I can tell and have herd there a few pairs that have formed. So far you have got:



Selene and Kayley. Kayley surprises me here because I didn't expect her to be in that tight with someone, especially Selene. She hasn't spoken a lot of game with me and what game we have spoken about has been more 'this is what I expect, this is what I have herd, this is what I assume' nothing in terms of alliances or preference. Kayley is very nice but the majority of the tribe seem to know where her alliance lies and that's going to create a divide for her if push comes to shove. As for Selene, its no surprise that she has an alliance yet. Selene has been very chatty with me and has been putting in a lot of effort to talk to me and really engage with me. As much as her long messages can be a pain I do like that she is being really kind to me... although she is most likely doing it with everyone. I feel like she is more then likely trying to work Storm and I to be on her side.



Claire and Baby doll. I'm not 100% sure on this alliance because Claire has said recently that she doesn't know where Baby doll sits and Storm also said that Baby doll has said she doesn't mind Selene. So either Claire is trying to deflect any attention about their alliance or Claire and Baby doll really aren't that tight and are still an open game. Both Baby doll and Claire seem very similar in their styles of communicating. Both very genuine, talking about the game and coming across quite honest about what they have herd. They are being really likeable and making it more 'this is you and me talking to each other right now, this isn't about forming an alliance, its me just talking to you' Its kind of a nice approach because I really like Claire because of this and I kind of favour her over Selene but that is also because I see Selenes immunity as an advantage and I want it gone, the sooner the better.



You then have Noxeema and Cherry. I love these girls! Noxeema is so reliable when it comes to goss because everyone likes her and everyone is talking to her. she is super down to earth and comes across very up front and no BS. I haven't herd a great deal about Cherry but I know that people are talking to her about the game, just maybe not as much as what they are talking to Noxeema. I am so grateful that Noxeema, Cherry and I have formed an alliance, I hope that it is solid because I don't think that people are going to expect us three working together as a solid alliance. I think us three in the middle and if it comes to it we can decide and I don't think that we are going to be seen as flippers or get too much of a backlash from it. As much as I am included in this alliance I do think that Noxeema and Cherry are very close and I would hate to see what would happen if one of us had to choose one over the other.



Trinity and Mother Russia. these guys aren't a pair or really seem to be involved in anything but I believe that they are both on the outs so I will talk about them in the same paragraph. No one is talking about Mother Russia, except for when tribal talk comes up. I thought that mother Russia and Cherry were tight but I have herd nothing about alliances with her. It kind of disappoints me because I thought that Mother Russia would have been more active and involved but she is kind of anti social and falling out of the loop of what is happening here. I don't mind if she goes but I just kind of expected more from her and now I kind of think that she isn't the biggest threat here and voting her out could be a waste of a move against someone more threatening. As for Trinity. She is the number one boot. Its like everyone has already decided that she is first to go and that there isn't much point talking about...except for Kayley who has said like twice that she may not be the most obvious vote, that's super interesting to me. I really want to make an effort in getting close to trinity because looking at how Sulaco is going in challenges, she could survive long enough until a swap and if I end up on her tribe in a swap I want to make sure that she doesn't feel like she has to flip and if she does flip, its not on me.



Then there is Storm and Myself. Storm seems to be in the middle here but I feel like she is in a similar position as Noxeema. Everyone is talking to her and wanting to work with her. She is dead set in the middle here and she knows it so well! she is the one who is seeing where alliances are, she is the one seeing who likes who, who wants to do what. Even though she is in the middle she still acts like she isn't certain as to what is happening. I feel like her biggest struggle right now is figuring out who she likes more and who is better to stick close to too help her game.



Me! Like I said I don't think I am on top but I think I am in the middle. From the talk that I have herd I haven't herd my name come up to much and it seems like A. no one knows where I fit in and B. know one is eager enough to solidify an alliance with me. Its kind of close to the bottom but gives me enough room to stay out of the spotlight and work on these girls. I feel like I at least have Trinity and Mother Russia to throw under the bus if I have to. Also if this alliance with Noxeema and Cherry is legit then not being on top could be the perfect spot for me.



All of this talk is still kind of premature considering that we haven't gone to tribal yet but even though we haven't gone to tribal there is definitely a lot of dynamic in this tribe and there is a lot being said.

Immunity

[Xena]

I mutiny

[Xena]

I came here to play!

[Ripley]

Xena, you have elected to mutiny.

If you are the fastest, you will be moved to Nostromo tonight at 9PM AWST at the latest, pending other responses.

And if you are moved, you will be removed from participating in the current mission. You will be participating in the Nostromo vote should you be moved there.

The immunity that comes with mutiny is non-transferrable.

[Xena]

Would I move tonight or tomorrow night?

[Ripley]

Tonight. Sorry, hadn't updated the template I made.

[Xena]

Haha that's alright. Looking forward to seeing who mutinies!

[Xena]

It's been a while since I did a summary of my position in the game and with the mutiny in the air I guess it would hurt to explain my thoughts and actions.

There is a few reason behind why I'm trying to claim the mutiny. The first reason is I would hate for someone like mother Russia or trinity to get because they are our easy votes. yhe second reason is because it's an immunity and I'm hoping that there will be a merge after this round... If there isn't then I'm expecting to be mauled to death by these green girls. And the third reason is that I feel OK in my position in sulaco and I wouldn't mind jumping into Nostromo and stirring things up a bit.

Having trinity and mother Russia on the bottom is making this tribal a little more straight forward, over the last couple of days I have really been pushing a safe vote into people's head, simple because if we go into the merge I want to show the Nostromo girls that we are all unified. I don't want them to see cracks and splits and give them more ammo to tear us apart. My plan for the merge is quite literally vote the green girls out first, then have the sulaco tribe claw at each other's necks.

Not only does an easy vote keep us unified it also keeps people from panicking and scrambling. I know there is some threats on this tribe so the last thing I want for our first tribal is drama. Also I believe that the further I make it in the game the more threatening j will be seen so keeping some other big threats around kind of gives me more time to spin my web and hopefully secure my spot enough that people are kind of stuck with me. There is also hope that taking out an easy vote brings down our numbers and the dynamic and will give me and my core alliance a chance to grab majority befor the other.

I feel like Selene is thinking about making a move soon and especially with the merge coming up but I hope at least with this vote, if everyone is unanimous on the vote she won't have a lot of control over it.

If I get this mutiny it's going give me an advantage in the sense that I will be able to see how nostromos tribals have gone down. It will be great to see there dynamic and I'm hoping that someone is on the bottom and I can kind of turn things around and fracture Nostromo even more. Not only do I want majority over them I want them split apart as much as possible. You would kind of think that having 5 people left on your tribe will mean that they are all right with each other but someone has to be on the bottom and someone has the be the ring leader. I want to expose that and really draw it out.

Given my position in the game so far, if I get separated I feel like it won't do a lot of damage. I mean I've been away for the last 4 days and I'm still moving forward in my game. I'm saying that I'm 100% safe on my tribe and that I'm in control but I do feel like I have connected with enough people and that I have a big enough influence on them that I still got potential to go far. I'm a little concerned that I have been making to many deals to early and that if people start talking my web could easily become unraveled but so far it seems like I'm in a good spot.

A couple of girls have mentioned that my image comes across a little wild card and floating in the middle. Baby doll had told me I'm in a really good position because no one knows where I fit in and that I'm in the middle and can go either way. Cherry also mentioned that a lot of people aren't talking about me in terms of alliances and it pisses her off because they are under estimating my like ability. I don't see that as a bad thing because what it tells me is that people aren't talking about me and aren't reaveling what i have said to them. So hopefully that means that the people who I am talking to trust me and are keeping me close and out of the spot light.

In terms of my alliances, I am tight with noxeema and cherry and they are my core alliance. I know noxeema is a threat but so far she has shared to idol clues with me and cherry and has been great at reporting what's going on. She's a threat but she is reliable. Cherry I love and we are so on the same page in this game. She seems a little paranoid but I love her and I want her in my final 3... If I get there.

I've also formed a "core" alliance with Selene and Claire. I like that these big players want me close and trust me but I do wonder where kayley fits in, not only with Selene but in the game in general. Kayley is definitely someone who I can see making it to final 6 because she is so nice and not threatening... That concerns me.

I do feel like I need to strengthen my alliance with Claire and really work on having her trust me. I like her a lot and want her around for a while but with this new alliance it does concern me what will happen when I want to blindside Selene. I'm just curious to see where her loyalty will lie and how strong it will be.

Noxeema and I are forming an alliance with mother Russia. I want her out at our first tribal because I think she is a challenge beast and could be trouble in the merge but if we can't get her out then it's going to be best to keep her on our side and she may be good for gaining the majority.

Storm and I seem honest with each other and storm seems to be enjoying being in the middle. I think her and I are getting along well, there is room for us to get closer and she is someone who I could see in my final 3. She also doesn't seem as strong ag challenges compared to some of the others so she could be good to keep around.

Baby doll and I have seemed to have formed a final 2 alliance and she seems eager to work with me. I like her a lot and I think she will be really loyal but I just hope she makes alliances with my actually core otherwise I might not be able to rely on her as a number in blindsides.

So far it's looking good for me but I really don't want to get arrogant because when that happens I always lose my game.

[Xena]

Man, this Mother Russian VS trinity vote really has me torn. I have no idea who would be better to keep around especially if a merge situation were to happen. I have been pushing for mother Russia to go over the last couple of days but idk if I am making a mistake.

I think that mother Russia is the more obvious threat and there is a possibility that she could challenge beast her way through the game but on the other hand I feel like I can read her better then I can read Trinity. Trinity is so quiet and avoiding game talk for god knows why. I respect that Mother Russia knows she is in a bad position and realises that no one is talking game with her, I also respect that she is looking for options. this is coming down to who is more loyal and who is the bigger threat. I feel like even if Mother Russia got the jump on me I would know about it before it happened where as I think with trinity, she could smile and lie to your face then stick a knife in you.

The other thing that comes to mind for me is the fact that it seems like only Noxeema and I are talking to both Mother Russia and Trinity. I hope that means that either one would side with our alliance but it also raises the question as to why no one else is exploring this option? It feels like a waste not to see where their intentions are and to get on their good side. I think a lot of people assume that Trinity and Mother Russia would go before themselves so they don't worry about it but in my mind and if things go my way one of them will go on Sunday and the other will more then likely play a role in making a blindside

The other concern here is that if no one is talking to these girls then how will they know who to vote? you cant just leave 2 people in the dark like that, we're all smart enough here to realise that if no one is talking votes with you then you are on the outs. The last thing I want is an idol of any sort to be played in there favour. I also don't want them to fight. But the thing is here, if only Noxeema and myself are talking to them then its going to be up to one of us to tell them how to vote and honestly these are the only two women here who I don't know where there alliances are... simply because I never really raised the question. If I tell Trinity to vote Mother Russia and then tell Mother Russia to vote Trinity, how do I know they aren't going to tell each other and work out they are being played? The biggest worry isn't so much whether my head gets put on the chopping block its more, if they scramble and fight who knows what they will say to who and what they will reveal... All the hard work that I have put in over the last two weeks could all be for nothing if they get nervous and start talking and raise questions.

[Xena]

Bloody hell Noxy has caused a stir! Everybody is losing their fucking minds! Selene would get paranoid at the drop of a hat.... maybe that could be a good thing later on in this game.

After seeing how everyone is reacting to Noxy's swap I am glad she got the mutiny and I didn't. This also puts a huge target on her back and makes it so much easier to vote her out now. Now I don't have to worry about my alliance and loyalty to her and vote her out without causing distrust amongst Sulaco. She's made her bed and now I'm gonna force her to lie in it.

Trinity now seems to be the go for to nights vote, Selene and Kayley have both been causing speculation about Cherry but Cherry is my closest ally here so she has got to stay. Everyone was shocked at noxy but the majority want to stick with voting Trinity out. Mother Russia has now become a bigger part to this team and for me I think that's a good thing because I believe Russia trusts me the most... that's going to be a good thing to have when I need to start blindsiding Sulaco girls. I personally don't think that Mother Russia or Cherry will flip, I think that Cherry is loyal enough to me and trusts me to keep her alive and get her to the end and I think that now Mother Russia is being included more so she sees potential for her to go further with Sulaco.

One thing that is pissing me off is all this paranoia and speculation and how people are going about it. Even though the majority are on board with Trinity going everyone has raised the concern about Mother Russia and Cherry flipping. They have questioned their alliance with Noxy and their loyalty. I have expressed how important it is right now to start including Russia and Cherry more and to show them that they are trusted and to not give them a reason to flip. I have talked so much about how unity is key going into the merge and that if we continue to leave these girls on the outs and not trust them then they have every right to flip. If we want to use our numbers advantage and vote the Nostromo girls out then we cant let them find cracks or get information especially when it comes to votes. Everyone agrees that unity is important but no one has actually spoken to Cherry or Russia in terms of bringing them in closer and unifying them. I think that is so dumb! why leave them as an open question? Everyone speculates what Cherry's and Russia's plans are but no one makes the effort to talk to them and find out for themselves. I think that if we don't do all that we can to make them feel included and apart of Sulaco and they end up flipping then the only people who we can blame is ourselves. Its just so fucking stupid to leave things open and unknown like that. I know I have been making a huge effort to assure Russia and Cherry that they aren't going and that this is our game but I cant be the only one to do this. I have brought this up with the other girls and they respond with "I don't know how to talk to them about it" and its like... I thought this was a social game? Why the fuck are you even playing if you don't know how to talk to people. I'm playing with a bunch of girls who say they want to play but wont put in effort when it comes to securing themselves and grasping opportunities. If I make it to the finale and people criticise my game I am going to tell them straight up that they got voted out for being stupid!

I feel that the last couple of days I have been pretty assertive with most of the girls, especially when I have been getting my opinions across and it does worry me that I am putting a target on my own back. I think for now I'm in the clear but I think later down the track I can expect to be blindsided or get a knife in my back. I do believe that I have the potential to win this but I need to be careful because I'm going from playing on everyone's level and treating them as equal to bossing people around and being incredibly stubborn. I think at least right now Baby doll, Storm and Cherry all trust me enough to stick with me and I think my focus has to be more bouncing ideas of them and thinking collectively instead of telling them what is best and what to do. The other issue that I see for myself is I could start stepping on Selene's toes. I think I am one of the more out spoken girls here and very forward with my opinions and I can see Selene and I clashing to get our points across. I know a few girls want to blindside Selene but I really want to keep that as a clear blindside and not have her throw me under the bus as she goes out.

[Xena]

Everybody is online and no one is talking to me... should I be worried here? I've been hearing Kaylees but maybe its me.

[Xena]

I haven't posted a confessional for a while and I figure with everything that has been going on I should probably make an update.

So the biggest news that has happened to me since my last confessional is that I got the game advantage. Which is really cool because it the first game advantage that I have ever found and the best part is I never received clues, thanks to noxy she just showed me two of them and I put two and two together. I think the best thing about the game advantage is that no one will expect me to play it and in all honesty I want to play as though I don't have it but that may be harder now that I have told Claire that I have it, I'll explain why I did this later in my post.

Basically where I sit in this game right now is in the open and in the dark. Not a lot of people had spoken to me since the tribal of fear and after last nights tribal I have had only three people message me, two of which were Nostromo girls explaining why they voted for Cherry.

Selene, Kaylee and Babydoll have hardly spoken to me since the tribal of fear, which confuses me and infuriates me. It infuriates me because I was suppose to be in the middle of everyone but it confuses me because I have been left in the middle without a lot of options. It surprises me that those girls would depend completely on Nostromo. You would think that in a tribal where you are rallying votes to extinguish a feud you would try and get as many people on board as you can. I know that I had an alliance with Noxy and Cherry but I doubt many people knew about it and considering that so far in this game I have tried working with them and being upfront with them I wouldn't be shut off like that. I personally think that its a stupid thing to do in this game because its limiting your options, who knows what will happen and when you will need to depend on someone. I mean Kaylee has literally said to me "I can't play this game for you, I cant give you options, find your own way through this game" Like girl, how about you cut the attitude and realise I am reaching out to you to try and work with you and get some idea of direction, you don't trust me then that's fine but done shun me because you want to put all of your eggs on one basket. She pisses me off with how she talks and how she is playing, for someone who is so inactive she sure does have a shitty fucking attitude.

Last night I got a pretty snarky message from Selene as well. Basically calling me out on having many alliances and for being in the middle and not needing their opinions to make a decision. But it's like, you have had the most alliances with people amongst the Sulaco girls, like there is a reason why you got that title in the survey. For people who don't talk to me they sure seem to know a lot about how the fuck I am playing. I just see it as them making there own beds and laying in it. Like you don't want to talk to me right now, ok fine but if we are all still here at final 8, final 7, final 6 or so on I sure as hell wont be talking to you or relying on you to keep me safe. You want to treat me like a dead end, then ok I'll be your dead end and don't ever rely on my vote again because I will spitefully not help you no matter the circumstances. I will happily lose this game if it means I get to watch yours burn.

As for the rest of the game.

There is still and alliance with Mother Russia, Noxy and Claire. We know we are all in trouble and we all want to try and make it to final 8, but I really don't see that happening with this back to back tribal coming up. I herd after tribal Cherry had started a 6 person alliance with all of the Nostromo girls, Noxy and Claire. They pushed for a vote but Cherry was way to aggressive and controlling and from what I herd had said to Jess that she wants Kaylee gone but if its someone else she doesn't care as long as its not her. I get the point of saving your ass but from my point of view, to know first of be included or even told about that group chat makes me feel betrayed but then to hear it first from a Nostromo makes it even worse and also to hear that after saving Cherry's ass she is more then happy to see any ally go is so disgusting! I mean what a selfish girl, I put my neck out on the line for you to get you into the merge, fully knowing that bridges could be burnt and this is how you betray me? Keeping that girl around was the biggest mistake I have made in this game.

Alice has come to me wanting to form an alliance outside of Nostromo. I think her thinking here is that going to final 3 with all Nostromo will make for an undecided winner and there for will have to fight harder to beat her sisters, also means no guaranteed votes because her alliance would be sitting next to her. I like this alliance because so far I think it has kept me safe and I am one of few to not receive a vote in this game. I feel like she has offered the same thing to Nox and Nox and her have spoken about it first and in greater detail. She has asked me who could be pulled in while mentioning her liking to Noxy and I have of course said that it would be a perfect fit but once I brought up Noxy's tight alliance with Cherry her mind changed to working with Claire. Perhaps another reason why Cherry had to go, it opened up Noxy's loyalty which works for Alice.

Claire is the only person who I trust and rely on but even then I question it because she didn't tell me about that group chat until last night and she is in a desperate position just like me. So far we have had each others back and always voted together. We both think that its in good interest to ditch any alliance with Sulaco and get closer to Nostromo. I am all for this because it could be what saves us in this back to back tribal, we could also be forming a new core with Alice and when it comes to final 8 it wont be us who get picked off. I told Claire about the advantage because she trust me and I want to show her I trust her just as much. I have told her that I am thinking about using the advantage at final 9 if I make it through but only if I think I will need to use it or feel like I might be going home.

The advantage is kind of like an idol where it makes me immune but the twist is I have to state that I am playing it when I vote before council. The advantage can be played on anyone, including myself or someone already immune, the advantage will give that person immunity but also cancel out their vote at tribal.

So you can see, if I think an ally will go home and I need them I can use the advantage to save them and hopefully maintain my support and numbers. I can also use it to save myself. I don't see much point in using it at final 10 because then they will just vote me out at final 9 but if I use it at final 9 then I guarantee to be in final 8. I would love to not use it because if Claire and I are still here at final 8 then hopefully the rest will get picked off or Nostromo will turn on each other and I can keep it up to a point in the game where it can be used very successfully.

Basically my thoughts on tribal right now is that Nostromo will try and get at least a Selene and Co alliance member out and one of the other Sulaco girls out. I don't see Sulaco working together at all on this vote and taking two Nostromo out, I also don't see Nostromo letting a 4 person alliance survive. I kind of hope that Claire and I can side with Alice on this vote because what I imagine is one core will be betrayed at the final 10 and will want vengeance at final 9.

Considering no one is really talking to me and I am a bit lost here I am trying to play the out of the loop card to those who are talking to me. Try and show Nostromo that I have been betrayed by both sides of Sulaco after being loyal and have no where to go. Hopefully they take me in and keep me safe because  I don't have an alliance or anyone to watch my back. I pray I can pull it off or my days are surely numbered... even with the advantage.
