Round Nine

[kurtis]

With Cody out, the only person I can blaming losing control over the blame about will be myself. This thing is mine to lose, and the other players are making it laughably easy to carry out my agenda. 

AS SOON as the votes are read, Jacob grows the balls to approach Rich and Billy and basically make an ass of himself. There are only 8 other people in the game to work with, and you're going to completely sever 1/4 of those options because you feel like being a total dick? This is what I'm talking about people taking the game way too seriously... you're not on an island. No one cares about the fucking "rating" your actions will produce. This is an online game and you're being a complete tool just because you can. Not my style... not anyone's style who has any interest in actually winning the game, that kind of person just wants to create some huge internet persona. Jacob's whole M.O. is a complete need for attention... it needs to be all about him. It needs to be his porn video everyone is talking about. He needs to be recognized for making the most shocking statement. Everyone should be telling him the truth because... well... he's Jacob! Whatever. It's almost more annoying that he is so oblivious about everything... I control every aspect of his fate. Right now I want him to stay, so he will stay.

Quite frankly, there are more important people to take care of. This round, those people include Rich and Bryan. Look for one of the two leaving in a few days. Rich because he remains so completely paranoid... but if he continues to feud with Jacob, I could start to see merit in keeping him around. Bryan is the one I'm more concerned about and the one I am least able to control. He was a fool last round for telling everyone that he wouldn't vote against Cody and I think he tried to lie in group chat that Joe didn't vote with us... come on, dude. I'm hoping I can use Jacob and Sassy's illogical anger against the world in my favor and get him voted out this round if not Rich. Honestly, he is too good at getting people to like him. I'm also annoyed that he is a virgin, but that's my own personal touch.... I just feel like you can't trust them. Screw, already. I wonder if his penis is like 2 inches long and he's scared to show anyone? I can only ponder...

The person that I'm most overlooking is TJ. Joe wants him out and this could be a golden opportunity to take him out, but I actually enjoy talking to him. To be fair, I enjoy talking to most people (Jacob, Sassy, Joe, Billy being other people of note there), but he's weirdly enchanting to me. It was fun to play with him a little after voting for Cody. I feel comfortable that he is a little smarter and quicker than the rest of the people and gets my humor... so I want him around. I can always ditch him later, right??

Also, side note, Zavi is the only person beside myself who I can see easily winning the game at this point... fucking foreigners. 

Note that as soon as I got online today, Rich, Billy, and TJ all messaged me immediately, still wanting me to work with them. I am the king of the blindside. I can lie to your face and I'll *still* be your best option for getting further. Plus, I'm really hot.

Decisions, decisions.

[kurtis]

Bryan winning immunity was not optimal! He has gotten very good at saving his own ass with his life on the line. Kind of sickening, right? I guess I would be a virgin too if I spent that much time on puzzles... 

This puts Rich and Billy firmly in the danger zone. They are going to try to get an idol plan going, and will of course try to gather a rebel alliance that I hope I'm a part of. I'm banking on Jacob's continuing to be illogically upset with both Bill and Rich enough to force him to vote for one of them.Where Jacob votes, Sassy votes. I think Bryan will try to weasel his way back into the fray of Sassy/Jacob, and myself/Zavi/Joe will make 6. My fear is that Jacob gets too comfortable and begins to target Joe this round. Of course, this is an illogical move for him, but he is playing illogically, so square peg into round hole it is.

Last night was almost unnervingly quiet. I talked with Sassy, Joe, and Billy for a bit--a group that runs the spectrum of positions within the game, and everything seemed right, so I'm trying not to worry too much. My goals before voting are to get snugly with TJ (for more reasons than one), find out what Billy's counter plan is, and work with Joe to ensure Rich goes and Billy stays.

Wish me luck!

RIP Jacob!

Another day, another back stab.

It's been 30 days exactly. This is the home stretch!!!

UGH for the first time in the game I'm voting how someone else wants me to vote. I didn't get trapped into it, getting Bryan out -would- be extremely easy, but I fear Sassy/TJ/Billy/Rich too much this past round. TJ and Rich haven't been speaking much with me and Billy is so logical that he will go with his best option. Basically I just don't want to deal with Sassy's bipolar and illogical ass after the vote. When she's upset her voice sounds like a shrill phone sex operator. Not the most pleasant sound. And she insists on being on call EVERY. NIGHT. I don't have much to say babe! Poor Jacob was dealing with more than I had anticipated with her...

So this round Billy will go. Bryan has gotten at least three last minute reprieves in this game and I'm kind of sick of it. I don't know if it's his skill or some sort of virgin voodoo, but he has been untouchable for the past few rounds. For now, I'll let Sassy have her way. She swears up, down, and to the baby Jesus that she is fine voting out Bryan next round, which I don't buy, but I -do- believe she wants to work with Joe and I because she knows a final 3 with us would be a cakewalk victory for her. Just understand that for the official record, Billy leaving now would not have been my number 1 choice. I just need to keep myself out of anyone's line of fire for the longest time possible.

Next round I will have to suffer through Sassy's insanity to ensure she votes with Joe, Zavi and I... probably for TJ. I do love my Utah boys, but he has grown distant and would be the most logical choice to take out next. Ironically, Rich is becoming more and more of a solid option for a final 3 with Joe and I because he's so weird and unlikable... where are the other tributes, Rich!?

I'm very tired. I'm sorry Billy!
