It was a good move for Kate/Nick/Miller. It was an okay move for Vic (because it meant it wasn't him). It wasn't really a good move for anyone else. But the thing I don't really like is how cocky that group is now. Jesse/Holli are on the outs and unless Vic/Corey are willing to make a move this round against the other three, it's going to be Kate/Nick/Miller to the end. Which isn't the worst but I can't stomach their condescending attitudes about it.

I'm not on the corey train. I'm sorry you guys may switch on a dime, but I don't forget that everytime he's been on top (like tonight when I briefly joined a call with him and the others) he gets super cocky and rude. And then when he's on the bottom he threatens to quit. That is not what I want in a winner. Bye @ that.

I never said I'm rooting for him, just that he's in a very good position with a good shot at winning.

You can hate the Patriots all you want, doesn't stop them from winning the Super Bowl every other year.

Where am I in the world where I'm cheering on Corey right now

Wow I can't believe I'm in love

Just got these from Jesse:

[7:57:47 PM] Jesse: [8/25/16, 7:54:06 PM] Jesse: I want to quit
[8/25/16, 7:55:22 PM] Millerrr <3 <3 <3!: I would feel the same way

[7:58:13 PM] Jesse: tbt to me talking him into staying

I am so tired of an overwhelming amount of people in every fucking game wanting to quit as soon as something doesn't go their way. Don't sign up for the bullshit if you can't handle the bullshit.

He doesn't actually want to quit

He's telling miller that to try to make him feel bad or to make himself seem less threatening

which based on miller's confessional, it's working and miller feels bad.

This is a really fun challenge, I loved creating some parts of it and solving the others'. So far 3/8 have completed the challenge.

Speaking of fun... in Nkwala :

[11:41:26 PM] Jesse: Are people around if I call this?
[11:41:33 PM] Jesse: Because people think things I’m saying aren’t true
[11:41:50 PM] Jesse: and I’d gladly address anything with anyone to their face
[11:42:53 PM] Corey Cor: hi

This could get good? But maybe naw due to the lukewarm response.

I didn't mean to him specifically, just all of the people in this game that have been whiny and mopey, and in ORGs in general lately, the amount of "This isn't going my way so I'm quitting" is BEYOND obnoxious.

Update: Jesse and Corey are talking privately instead of calling the tribe chat.

God Bless Kate for keeping us updated in her confessionals. She's the confessional queen of the season!

After Kate's confessionals, my thoughts:

- +1 to Jesse for playing with Miller's heartstrings a bit. It's a bit sketch to do for sure but on a gameplay level this has lead to the domino effect of Miller feeling bad and opening up -> exposing information that hurts Kate. Cracks are SURPRISINGLY forming in the QP/Kate alliance and if anyone's going to jump I think it's going to wind up being Kate at this point. Whatever this is may buy Jesse some time in this game though.

- Miller giving Kate this immunity if he wins? AND telling Jesse this? I thought telling Molly I was gonna give her immunity was bad... dude's gotta be all kind of messed up emotionally right now. He's gotta get himself in check because he's hurting himself saying things right now.

- I'm on the fence as to whether Nick flipping on Kate is good or not. I think he has no shot to beat Kate, but at this moment he's positioned in a f3 scenario and I don't know if he's going to find better offers. If he can strike a good deal I'd say go for it if he wants to put victory over friendship. From Nick's last confessional and confessionals last round, I don't even know if I believe it yet or if it's Miller gaming Kate (although I don't think Miller would lie to Kate so I'm just hella confused)

- Kate getting angry this round and telling Miller that she's done with Nick is not a good look for her, nor is a good idea. Miller's gonna tell Nick this info. Nick's gonna run with it. I think Kate needs to play it cool and just pull the trigger and shop around for a new solid alliance.

I agree Stephen, I am so confused because Nick has told us he's loyal to the 3 and Miller would never lie to Kate. Maybe something has happened since Nick's last confessional? I know Jesse has been working and I think it was smart of him to talk to people individually rather than calling the tribe chat. Could this be part of a plan Jesse has been pushing? Jesse has done his research on last season as he mentioned in his confessional so he's made the connections of how Miller's game seems to be closely related to that.

I find it funny how every single one of these people has been in the minority, almost every round the majority shifts, but yet people can be cocky or arrogant towards others... It's offputting and it always makes me hope for a shift. I really hope we see some sort of a shift this round because as much as I like Miller/Kate/Nick, I want something less predictable for the last few rounds.
