I agree. Chris has played a top notch game which I think is hard to ‘show’ when you’ve not been to tribal much. So the fact that he’s directed his game so well really speaks volumes for me.
Jess vs Chris reminds me somewhat of Jake vs Lexi in s3 with the exception that if we lose one soon, I don’t think the rest of merge would be predictable (which is what happened in s3) because there aren’t as clear of lines as there were that season
Matt and Sarena tell Abby they are voting her out:
Matthew, 6:10 PM
Hey Abby,
Unfortunately, Sarena and I are going to be voting for you tonight. After talking with everyone, we both feel that this is the move that is best going forward for our games. We’ve both made a number of relationships with various people throughout the game, and neither of us are in a position to burn the social capital with those people that would be necessary to save you here, and it’s unclear if we’d even be able to fully do so.
Sarena, 6:10 PM
From my point of view there’s just not enough trust between us especially since you said you don’t have any plans for next round and I need ppl that I can work with and know will be loyal more than one round at a time. Sorry girl.
lmao @ matt using the phrase social capital; what a pompous way to go about this
Also it appears that Sarena, Matt, Jess, and Danny have made a deal which is to vote Abby this round and vote out Alex/Chris next; Danny is swearing up and down that he's loyal to this and Sarena is just pretty much responding with the equivalent of "lol, alright" -- obviously she doesn't trust Danny at all.

There’s still 5 hours until the vote from when they sent these messages, what are they doing? There’s a counter plan forming via Chris and this could be enough to push Abby to join that. Plus Abby could have an idol. I don’t know, I think if you’re going to tell someone you’re voting them out a) don’t give such a douchey speech Matthew lmfao, and b) do it right before Tribal so there’s not a chance for them to flip.
Chris said that he pitched the Lexi plan to Abby and he thinks she’s on board, and Abby told Chris that Danny is coming for him.
Hoping Abby, Chris, Bryce, Alejandro & Naomi can vote 5 strong here. Not sure they will though, I think it’s certainly in their best interests to do so.

I hope Abby jumps on it and builds a bridge with Alex to pull this off.
I'm on duty tonight, so just in case I get a call before voting officially

Uhhhh, dang it. It looks like Alejandro is going to be voting out Abby this round. I really do feel like Alejandro is kind of handing the game over to Jessaca and is tanking his alliance's game in the process. Anders got out because of this, Abby is going out because of this, and I suspect that Chris will probably go out next because of this (although possibly Danny). Maybe the 5-5 tie wasn't feasible, but I think it was his best play.
I don't really know if Alejandro has any capital to do much outside of this alliance, I think he's giving up all of his power and from now on is just kind of banking on Jessaca being able to save him for the rest of the game. I get that the Anders alliance was stifling him a little bit, but he had way more control back then. He is probably banking on this Alejandro - Chris - Jessaca - Sarena - Matthew alliance but that's not going to hold at all.

Further context:
Alejandro, 11:10 AM
Chris and Abby are trying to make me turn by emotionally manipulating me cause they know I feel really bad for people
Jayden, 11:10 AM
what are they saying?
Alejandro, 11:11 AM
Chris is telling me how much he is crying cause he feels bad for abby cause her mistakes were sincere and its her first game, and how bad he feels cause its the first time she is vulnerable and its not her fault
Alejandro, 11:11 AM
and abby is reminding me we have been friends for a long time, and how she allowed danny to manipulate her and she has never played before
Jayden, 11:12 AM
what are they proposing instead for the vote
Alejandro, 11:12 AM
but like... abby could have come to me when danny said I was going after her, and this would have never happened, but instead she decided to run my name through the mud. We have known each other for over ten years, but she didn't even talk to me, so like...
Alejandro, 11:12 AM
Lexi
Alejandro, 11:12 AM
which I prefer
Alejandro, 11:12 AM
BUT then I betray jess and sarena
Alejandro, 11:12 AM
who hae had my back
Jayden, 11:12 AM
what would the numbers be to get out lexi
Alejandro, 11:13 AM
naomi, abby, chris, myself and Bryce, apparently
Alejandro, 11:13 AM
but Bryce doesn't want to either
Alejandro, 11:13 AM
bryce doesn't want to cause lexi is irrelevant and its burning bridges for an insignificant player
wow how things changed since it looked like yesterday Chris was going and now not so much. I think it will be interesting to see how the votes go and where the lines get drawn in terms of alliances. Also I agree with Jayden about Matt and Sarena not making a smart choice on telling Abby they are voting her. Now to just get as many confessionals watched before tribal and my thoughts after seeing those
Watching Jess's Video Reminded me just why she has became one of my favorites, she laid how people were sitting so nicely and can see that Bryce/Chris will be targets where I think a lot of people haven't been able to see that yet. She is also wanting to keep people who will be more of a target than her, I think she really has a chance here
Why would Danny tell Alejandro he is coming for him...that is not smart especially since it isn't likely for him to actually go this round...oh Danny so many things to learn. Also I hate that Danny and Sarena's history is coming into this game and neither of them seems to trust the other, they both don't think the other is with them because of lack of trust from the past
Lexi & Danny are calling and discussing what a big threat Jessaca is and how they don’t want to vote out Abby.
Right now Danny, Lexi, Naomi & Chris could come together and save Abby; the problem is that Chris and Danny keep looking at each other as the enemy even though they should really be on the same team.
