I've been so focused on getting to know people in here and trying to find out all those hidden alliances and connections I totally forgot to write down my thoughts.

First I'm still so upset about Coach leaving the game, Chris did have a reason to vote for him but I feel like all those other original Ibfits are total idiots because they for some reason decided to let two Chikoritas into the merge despite the fact they had the chance to keep the numbers on their side... But then it's also kind of worrying because I think the whole BobDawg/Chris/Ib trio are (or at least should be) working together and them keeping both Tina and Shane seems like a good reason for me to believe that those five trust each other.

And they also voted Bob out when they clearly had the numbers to do anything they wanted so I just don't know whether they're that good or that bad at this game but they do know how to make me paranoid.

And can I just rage for a minute about how much I hate time-zones?

Some people I simply can't talk with because we're available at totally different hours and it sucks because I'm sitting, drinking coffee and meanwhile everyone else is sleeping and I wish I had more chances to talk with everyone. :/

The auction is up and I know the only thing I really want is the immunity simply because I want to make sure I am 100% safe - people are going for the mystery items but I feel like Dawg winning two of them made him a huge target so unless they turned out to be idols I don't really know if it was worth it.

Chris won some challenge advantage and it would seem smart to get him out before he can use it but seems like my original tribe wants to waste this TC and vote Ib out and this time I know I've to campaign really hard to get someone who's actually capable of winning out.

And no Aubry, I'm not going to let you grab that immunity necklace - you can't return at the eleventh hour, put your five coins on the table and expect me to hand it to you. I am actually kind of upset she never ever messaged me but this also means I'd have no regrets trying to get her out so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Things are getting really interesting right now.

On one hand we have that original Chikorita alliance of seven and staying with them pretty much guarantees me a spot in Top Six.

But then I have Chris on the other side wanting to get Jenn out so badly because of those mystery items and chests and I'm so conflicted and completely stuck in the middle. Tina also wants to turn on our original alliance and basically no matter who I'm voting for I'm crossing a line in the sand.

The safest option for me would be voting out Aubry because let's be real I'm safe in my current position and nobody wants her in here but I think it makes sense to go with Chris and Tina but it is going to completely destroy my relationship with Misty so I really don't know what I'm going to do but I want to stay in the middle for one more week.

My dream scenario would be somewhat convincing both Jenn and Misty that Dawg is the one to look out for and getting their votes. I do have that suspicion Nick and Dawg might be working together and that might be totally not true but better safe than sorry.

Because there is that possibility Dawg might be having Nick's back we can't be sure we're going to get his vote to get Jenn or Shane out.

Aubrey - Jerry, Nick, Shane
Dawg - Jenn, Misty
Ib - Ib (self-vote)
Jenn / Shane - Aubry, Chris, Debbie

If the vote somehow ends up this way it doesn't really matter where Dawg's vote goes, as long as me and Tina vote the same way we'd be able to control who goes home. But of course I don't know what's going to happen, people are unpredictable and seriously I can only guess what might happen. But I'm immune and no matter who I side with I feel like I've got people supporting me so I might just pick a random name and I don't think I'm in the worst position.

Chris apparently had been trying to make some sort of Blue majority alliance or some BS with Misty, Nick and basically everyone and I'm mindblown right now. Well he really is trying to play the game and I hope he's going to be surprised once his name is written down. :)

This tribal council Jerry's the deciding vote, I don't think he realizes it but he really could get any result he wants at this point of the game. And me, I'm voting for Chris just because I trust the Chikoritas just a little more, sorry Chris but I really hope you get voted out tonight. ;)
