Caleb's Crappy Confesional Corner

[thebankston]

Round Six - Post-Challenge

Man, I absolutely hate playing UTR-like. It's so dull. I just want to, like, get right into it and turn everyone on Nick, but I have no logical reason to do so right now. People will come after him post-merge, 'cause nobody likes a rat. Not a bad one, anyway. I'm pretty psyched that we won the challenge, though! This means that, unless the merge is at 10, I most likely will make the merge without having had to expose myself too much as a threat. That's pretty huge for me, especially considering the spot I'd be in between the two tribes.

I'm not too sure how the Tribal Council is going to go down over on Akha. I tried to make sure nobody was going to throw the challenge by bringing up that the best-case scenario would be Tyson having to burn his mole idol, and someone like Monica going home. I doubt they'd target Monica, though, especially if there could potentially be a round or two more before the merge. Wiglesworth could be in some doo-doo, though, assuming she doesn't flip.

All I'm trying to do over here on Hmong is build and maintain my relationships with people. I really like Hot Kelly, even though she sketches me out a bit. Jeremiah and Joaq, I don't know which of the two to trust, 'cause one of them lied to me last round. I don't think either will be targeting me any time soon, though, so I should be relatively okay there for the time being. I mended things with Nick a bit, and subtly threw Joaq under the bus whilst doing so by telling Nick that Joaq told me about his attempt to get Joaqamole to vote for me.

During the challenge, I tried to get Tyson to play Rock Paper Scissors with me for the point instead, LOL. Looks like he either threw the challenge, or probably should have accepted my offer. It worked out pretty great, though, 'cause I was set to go for a few hours. Turned off Dragon Quest and everything. It was terrible.

[thebankston]

Round Seven - MERGE (and also Pre-Challenge)

MERGE! We made it, woo! Man, I'm so glad to be reunited with my targe--I mean, uh, buddies! I was worried that we'd have a late merge, and I'd either be at risk of being voted off, or exposing myself as some variety of threat early. We've still got a way to go before jury, though. My realistic goal this time is to beat my placement in Season 1. It looks like I may have some means of making that happen already, too.

Rudy, of all people, is throwing his old tribe under the bus hardcore. He's telling me about how Kelly, Aras, Jeremiah, and Nick are all close/alliance mates. Kelly supposedly leads this alliance, with Nick as a close second in command. He wants them out. I want them out. It's perfect!
On the other hand, perhaps he's lying to me, and just wants to put the target off of himself this round. I'm relatively okay with that, too. A lot of what he's been saying lines up with my own views on the game, and so surprisingly even to me, I think I'm going to work with Rudy.

There's a rumor going around, too, that Monica apparently threw that last challenge because Joaq told her in the challenge chat that he'd be the next one out if she didn't. If this is true, then I'm a lot less hesitant in regards to trusting Monica to have my back again. I don't want to officially commit to either side, though, because once a couple people such as Aras and Nick, are gone, I might be able to slip in with Kelly and Jeremiah. On the other hand, that's two big merge-targets gone a little too early. I'm not sure if it's in my best interest to vote them off right away.

On the flip side, Nick could be the mole. If Nick is the mole, then he'll pull a mole idol whenever we do end up trying to vote for him. Perhaps it actually is in my best interest to vote for him this round. He either burns his mole idol and someone like Ami goes home, or he goes home, and I'm here to see another round. I know I won't be the target this round on either side, so now would be a good time to take a shot at him. Either way, I'm going to try not to push for anything to happen. I don't want people thinking I'm in charge of this vote. I hope to build my relationships back up again with a few of the old Akha tribe, and with Rudy and Tyson. Playing the social game over the strategic game is sort of new to me. Hopefully I don't fuck it up too badly, LOL.

[thebankston]

Round Seven - Post-Challenge

Kelly wins Immunity
Nick wins Immunity

Well, that certainly didn't go as planned, LOL. Murphy's Law, my friends  . . . at least for everyone else I'm aligned with.  I think, for me, this is a blessing in disguise. There's two targets scraping by through this round, and get this . . . everyone wants to target Jeremiah over Aras! w00t! A non-threat. Also, I'm pretty sure he lied to me the round Goth Alec went. I've finally put some more thought into the numbers, and if Aras has a vote on Goth Alec, then there's 3 for Goth Alec, and 3 for Joaq (Kelly, Nick, Jeremiah). Nick telling me he "doesn't need my vote anymore" because of Aras coming on indicates that they had Jeremiah's vote on Joaq already at that point. That, or they knew Joaq was potentially not voting for Goth Alec, which seems more and more unlikely the more I think about it. Unless there's some sneaky business going on that I don't know about yet, the only logical explanation for the votes that round is that Jeremiah voted for Joaq and lied to me about it. Because of this, I have no issue with voting Jeremiah out early.

This round is super sketchy so far, though. Every one of the old Akha members I talk to feigns ignorance about the vote. Like, bitch please, EVERYONE knows the Jeremiah plan by now. Come on. I play along, though, 'cause I don't want to look like I'm leading the charge or anything. My worry is that I'm the only one they're being fake to. This would imply either that they don't trust me much and think I'm working with the other side, or that I'm being purposely led on for some reason. Or they're just bad players, I don't know, LOL. All three scenarios worry me, really.

Wiglesworth shot me a message today and outlined a plan to get rid of Tyson. Lolwut. Apparently she wants to flush the mole idol, and says that if we side with the old Hmong majority, the second most votes would fall on Jeremiah if Tyson plays it. Two big issues here, though. A) We'd need another person to secure the majority, and B) I like Tyson and don't think he's the mole. No way am I going to go around risking my position in order to get somebody I want to work with voted off. Shot it down. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries the same pitch on others, though. I'm not sure if I'm going to create countermeasures to combat this or not yet. I could easily use it against her later on, and that argument would be weakened if I went around bringing everyone's attention to it prematurely. Hmm.

I feel like I've really been getting on well with Rudy. I'm so surprised at that. I really thought he was going to annoy me to death. Turns out he's 28, which is definitely advantageous to me, 'cause 16-year-olds tend to play stupidly, and a lot of my late-game strategies focus more on appealing to the logic of others in order to manipulate them. Operating under the assumption that greater age = more rational, I'd love to keep Rudy around as long as possible.

[thebankston]

Shit is going down! Kelly W decided to be a dumbass and tell literally every Hmong member that Jeremiah is going home. Holy Christ, what kind of gameplay even is that? Rudy says her and Jeremiah have some variety of pre-game alliance, so I guess that explains her random connection with him. That, or Jeremiah has been handing out alliances like we've been trick or treating for bullshit deals all week. To make matters worse, he thinks I'm the one who brought his name up originally! I don't know if somebody is coming after me coughAFKellyNickcough, or if he's just trying to make me freak out and give away information. Either way, all this has done is reaffirm that he has to go. Kelly W should probably be in the mix for next boot, too.

But I have to study late tonight so I'm gonna have to nap until after the voting deadline. I guess I'm leaving my fate into the hands of these people. From what I've seen so far, that's simply horrifying.

[thebankston]

Welp, I fucked up pretty badly this season already. Jeremiah voted for Goth Alec. Joaq admitted to voting for me, finally. And now someone who could have actually been loyal to me is probably going home, and the only way I can prevent it is fucking up my game even worse than I already have. I feel friggen terrible. I mean, Tyson and Rudy pushed for Jeremiah to go, but damn, I sure didn't stop them. My only option right now is to flip and vote Ashley out, which potentially gives Nick's numbers an advantage, while simultaneously pissing everyone from Akha off. Can't have that, so . . . my vote has to stay on Jeremiah. I don't have he heart to tell him. I'm also scared that he'll get desperate and try to change the vote onto me. I've told Rudy that I'd vote Kelly W if I had to, and he says he'll test the waters before the voting deadline. Not sure how that's going to go, but it's something, I guess.

Kelly W is still being an idiot. Now she's flipped, and is voting Ashley. I don't know what sort of Survivor she'd used to, but damn, her game-play is just horrendous. It's almost legendary at this point. The Legend of AFKelly Invisiworth. I hate players like that. I sure do hope we can vote her off this round. That'd be some sweet, sweet poetic justice.

Monica is horrible to talk to, as per usual. I feel like I'm talking to CleverBot half the time, except with even less charisma. I'm going to have to build my relationships with Joaq, Ami, and Ashley if I want to stand a chance past mid-jury. Jeremiah has been telling me that Rudy is playing me. I'm not sure whether or not I believe this, but I'll definitely be looking at Rudy a lot more suspiciously from now on. I know he has the capability to manipulate effectively, that's for sure. Apparently he was the one who told AFKelly that I was the one who brought up Jeremiah's name in the first place. Which I'm not too mad about, really, 'cause I sort of was in a way. I'm going to make sure I turn the tables, though, just in case.

Everyone from Akha is against AFKelly now. They're making a group chat including all of us + Rudy and Tyson in order to better address her bullshit, or something like that, I don't know. The important thing is: you play stupid, you go home. That's going to be my approach to the game now, in memoriam of my own foolishness that is probably getting Jeremiah voted out tonight. I'm not going to make a mistake like that again. Hopefully. Perhaps. Maybe. :V

It'd be friggen hilarious if Rudy and I are playing each other right now, though. I'm trying to make him want to get Kelly W out, and he's trying to get me to want Kelly W out. It's pretty amusing. My tinfoil hat is telling me there's more to this than meets the eye, though

God, I'm being so cringey. Time for nap.

[thebankston]

Round Eight - Redemption

Holy crap, I lucked out so hard in KellyC quitting! I mean, you could say I didn't exactly do anything to stop her, buuuuuuut . . . heh heh. I still don't even know what her issue was. Jeremiah is still here, though, and that's what counts. I hope to actually work with him now, but he has absolutely no reason to trust me right now. Even though he says all is good, I'm gonna operate under the assumption that I have some repairing to do with him. 

Rudy offered me a F2 deal today, which most likely doesn't mean much. I appreciate the sentiment, though, and as long as I can use that to make him think I'm in his pocket,  he shouldn't want me out for a while. Hopefully.

Old Hmong is scramble city right now. Aras proposed a deal to me and pushed for me to flip. I put a lot of thought into it, and I think it'd be pretty stupid to flip right now. I want to ideally use this majority to take out two threats to my game, and then I can potentially flip at 9, assuming my relationships are strong enough with two other old Akha people. I brought up flipping to Joaq, cause if he turns on me now, I'd have been screwed later, anyway. He agrees with flipping down the line. There's flipper number one. The other, I think, either Ashley or Ami. Then, I could potentially flip once again with Rudy even further down the road against Aras, assuming that he'd vote that way. Too early to be thinking that far down the line, though. 

Right now, I want a goat out. A dangerous goat. The worst kind of goat! I need Kelly W out of here, and this is the perfect time to push for that to happen. She should have just listened to me. You play stupid, you go home. 

It's never this easy, though. Shit is going to go down. It's only a matter of time. 

INB4 everyone flips on me, LOL.

[thebankston]

Round Nine - Retribution

Another round down, and another step closer toward my goal! I'm really enjoying this game so far, even though it got off to a rocky start. I actually enjoy talking to some of these people. That's rare for me. And they go on to vote me as this season's hero? My god, it's going to be such a burden stabbing each of them in the back. Oh well!  Heh heh. 

This way of playing scares the hell out of me. I'm used to being the Rudy, where everyone is working with him, but with a set expiration date on their loyalty. I'm used to maneuvering around that. I think everything is going to change real soon, though. Shit is way too quiet this round. A flip is coming. The question is: against who?

Hopefully not me. Maybe Rudy. He revealed to me that he was the Hmong mole, which is HUGE if true. Also huge if not true, really. Makes my game a lot easier if he has the mole idol. If not, then it gives me an excuse to "mess up" and vote Tyson out or something. I don't mind taking Rudy to F4 with me, and so I'm not bothered at all at him having a mole idol. On the other hand, if need be, I could easily flush it, so long as I have the numbers I think I do right now. 

My goal, though, is to just have Jeremiah and Rudy continue their crusade against each other. As long as the flippage goes well, I should be able to ride that out until F7, at least. Maybe even F6. At that point, it'll be time to get rid of game threats who aren't as big as I'd be at that point. For now, though, the goats have to go home. Starting with Nick. 

I feel pretty conflicted about voting Wes out. He pretty much tried to play the game I am now. He wasn't very successful. It's been so hard not to break alias with him at times and to just be like "YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF VOTED OUT, STAHP". I bet his confessionals have been on point, though. 

There have been whispers about Monica wanting to vote Jeremiah, though, so who knows. Maybe he'll stick around after all, and this'll be Ashley's round, instead. Rudy told me about how she said Joaq, Monica, and I were controlling the old tribe and shit. I informed Joaqamole, and Joaqamole wants her out. He'd probably flip on her this round if I asked super nicely.







 

[thebankston]

Well, we may have a Wiggles 2.0 on our hands here. Ashley is STILL trying to make me into a target, along with Monica, Joaq, and now Ami. I'm tired of her crap, and I need her gone ASAP.

People are being difficult, though. Monica wants to take out Nick first, which is dumb, considering that side could potentially waste the merge idol on Nick this round, or Ashley could go out with it in her pocket. Jeremiah has been starting to piss me off for two rounds now. I swear, every time I let this guy in on my plans, he complains. And then when I don't, he complains. Like, really? You're in a weak minority, bud. Just do what I suggest and stop saying you trust me, and then questioning my loyalty right after and shit. I mean, they literally just had a whole segment on that during last week's Survivor. Frustrating.

I told him the vote is Ashley, though, as my last sign of trust. If he questions my loyalty again, I'll probably just vote him out. Screw it.

In the meantime, I'm going to make sure Rufus has reason to stick on Ashley this round. Will probably tell him about how she told me he's truly the one "in control" or something. It's not true, but as long as it's real to Rufus, that's all that matters. Heh heh

[thebankston]

Round Ten - He shoots, he . . .

So, this is it! This is the round where I'd planned on fucking some shit up. But now that I'm here, what am I doing this for, really? To save Jeremiah? The guy doesn't even trust me. I don't really trust him all that much, myself, really. I mean, the point in voting for Tyson is not so much to flush the idol, but rather to make sure it's Rudy who has it, and that a goat goes home before they become a problem. I'm in a Final Five alliance with said goat, though, and Rudy, who has expressed desire to go after said goat before five, even. I mean, if everyone is telling me the truth right now, I should be SET. But how the hell am I going to get votes if I just sit back and coast to the end? A "good social game"? No, that's boring. I think I may pull off this flip just for the simple fact that it'd make the game interesting again.

Of course, pushing for something like this to happen right now is risky as hell. I could go from SET UP  to SENT PACKING. Not as fun, though I hear the food is pretty good this time around. I've put the plan into action anyway, though, 'cause YOLO. First step was telling Jeremiah that it was Joaq's idea to vote Tyson in order to flush the mole idol. Then, I told Rudy that I'd be telling them to vote for Tyson, and that I wanted him to let Tyson know, so he doesn't get sketched out. Next was to let Aras in on the plan, and have him tell Nick in a way where Nick doesn't rat me out. I honestly have no idea if all of this is going to work out, but it's pretty much the best I can do right now, aside from targeting even more Akha members. Monica's name is being thrown around a bit, and I'd honestly be okay with that, if she went. Ashley somehow knew about my alliance with Monica and Joaq, as well as my alliance with Monica and Ami. Common denominator here? Monica. Shades of rat.

The only problem (and it's a big one) is Nick realizing what'll happen if Tyson plays the mole idol. RIP. I'm considering countering this, but I literally get sketched out ever time I talk to Nick, because I don't trust him at all. He's not predictable, and I know he doesn't trust me, either. Hmm.

Well, however this round goes down, I don't really want to push any way in particular. If it's Monica's time to go, I'm with it. If they want to vote Tyson, I'm for it, too. It's all about where the numbers are. I've taken my shot. Now we wait and see where it lands.

[thebankston]

Heh heh, so I've started to talk to Nick, and now I'm pretty much just screwing with him. I need to gain my notorious villain status back somehow, right? I'm basically hinting at playing with him before, but in ways which could easily be misinterpreted to mean that. Part of me wants him to put the pieces together, but another just wants him to be confused for the next few rounds. That'd be kind of funny. I wouldn't be surprised if he's realized who I am already, though -- I've not really been hiding it or anything in what I tell people of myself, lol. 

I honestly have no idea what's going to go down this round. I'm excited! Nick says he's doing Tyson. I told him that if the second most votes are on Monica, he'd have nothing to worry about. My sort of goal is to make this round between Monica and Tyson without having to actually push for anything myself. That would be beautiful. Will be tough to do without putting myself within the line of fire, though, so I'm going to play the remainder of this round very cautiously. This shit is going to catch up to me eventually . . . just hopefully not any time soon. 

[thebankston]

Holy crap. I'm getting so nervous about this vote. Joaq doesn't want to target Tyson, and instead wants to go after Rudy. His argument is that Rudy is more likely to have the mole idol. I don't exactly doubt that Rudy has it, but rather if I'm wrong, I'd prefer Tyson going instead of my expired meat shield. He doesn't seem to be so receptive to my arguments, though, and so I may have to cause some shit last minute.

I have a lot of ammo. Joaq wants to target Rudy and thinks that he's the mole. Tyson wants to blindside Monica. Rudy told me that he's the mole. It's tough knowing when to use this ammunition. I'm considering . . . all at once. An hour before deadline.  #ChaosCaleb

[thebankston]

Round Eleven - Rocking the Boat Vs. Rocking the Vote

Holy crap, I might have actually gotten everything I wanted that round, and I didn't even have to jump in the line of fire! w00t w00t

Jeremiah is pissing me off again. This time, it's "How could you not vote Tyson?!" while he proceeds to not vote Tyson. Without telling me. Final straw. That's going to be a problem if I try going to the end with him. I can sort of see why his arguments haven't been working out with people so far, hah.

In light of that, though, everything worked out great last round! I made the Tyson plan look like Joaqamole's idea, and a big misunderstanding on my part. Even better, I've made it look like he was the one who killed the plan to Aras. Would I have voted Tyson out? Sure. But I realized I could reap almost all of the benefits of doing so through some last minute chaos. I showed Monica screenshots of Tyson pushing for her to go. She then told me Nick didn't have the idol, because she did. GG. Further, Rudy is a little more apprehensive about Joaqamole, which is what I need. Oh, and Tyson knows that Monica wants him out. Other things, too, but my brain is slush right now.

I don't really know what I'm doing this round yet. The easy route would be to vote Jeremiah off and hope that Rudy is actually loyal to me. Not a bad path by any means, either, since I'm supposedly close allies with Rudy, Monica, and Joaqamole. On the other hand, that's risky, not only because there could be an alliance I don't know about, but how am I getting the votes? LOL. I came here for redemption, and I'm just playing the Matty game all over again, except minus the secret alliance flipping back and forth. Once again, I may consider flipping, if only to make my game more interesting. 100 subtle, small moves in a round translate to a jury lot less effectively than one big, flashy move every three rounds. Something to consider.

I've told Aras to feel Ami out, since they have an alliance now. I want Monica or Tyson this round, ideally, so that's who he's meant to gauge interest on. I'm going to do the same with Joaq. It would be hilarious if Monica went with the idol in her pocket, but something tells me that she's gonna play it if she even hears a whisper of her name being thrown around. Conversely, I don't want that coming back to bite me later on, even if she says that it's "for the group". C'mon, idols are never just "for the group". I could tell Rudy about it, but this would be the third time I've pushed the target away from Jeremiah, and Rudy is far from stupid.

So, I sort of have a choice to make here. I could sit around and try to make sure my relationships and alliances are sufficient enough to get me to the end, or I can peak early, take the spotlight from Rudy, and risk going home seventh place again. It's a tough one, and the wrong call could easily cost me the game. Hmm.


 

[Rodney]

Great updates, Caleb. Keep it. We love your game

[thebankston]

Thanks, Rod! Oh yeah, and Gabe, if you're still reading this, Trillian is awesome!

Anyway, so I might be in some trouble. Two people are being dumb as hell and are trying to get me voted out randomly. Jeremiah, who has told Monica that I told him about her targeting him, and Joaquin, who is attempting to organize a #Blindside. Both are really, really stupid moves, though. Jeremiah has ruined any chance he had of me helping him this round. I'm over it. Joaquin has now made an enemy out of Rudy, as well as me. Problem is, the goats are still here! Ugh. This is what I get for aligning with morons, though, so I suppose I deserve this, in a way.

I contacted Monica, and came clean about my telling Jeremiah that she was pushing for him to go. I then told her I did this because they were telling me about how she ratted our alliances out to Ashley, so I thought she was against me at that point. Finally, I told her that I messed up, and that I wanted to fix this by voting Jeremiah's ass out. That I trusted her 100% now that she's told me about her idol. Etc etc. Whatever you'd want to hear if you're Monica. This could go horribly wrong, though, but I had to give it a shot. If the idea of blindsiding me is going around, I'm going to make sure I sweep as much of my dirt as possible under the rug before TC. Literally no clue if it worked, though -- Monica is one of those monotonous, < five word reply types.

Regardless, I suggested to Rudy that we start up an alliance with her, and pull in Aras as a forth vote, due to him being a "comp threat" and all. My hope is that I stay this round, and we can pull the rug out from under Joaqamole, but I could get the boot this round just as easily. Blech. I hate bad players. 

[thebankston]

Holy shitballs, do I ever have one hell of a confessional for you guys.

So, to start off, Monica is totally Alexis from Rustic 1. She's got to be. The high horse, the hypocrisy, the monotonous replies, the anger when you won't do what she wants, the entitlement, etc. Literally everything is there. I recently played as Alexis in Survivor Decades. Great game. My best season to date. Alexis from Rustic is a friggen nightmare. I feel bad throwing shade, too, because it's not necessarily her/his fault, either. Will get into that later.

Anyway, I'm probably fucked, LOL. I'm in such deep shit right now, it's actually funny. I don't even know why, either! Joaq wants me out for some reason. Ami was down to vote me out for some reason. Who knows who else for some reasons. I expected this, sort of. It's my first time not playing . . . overtly? So I'm honestly surprised I even made it this far, especially while my allies kept friggen quitting and getting kicked out. Lool. The allies who stayed are snakes, too, so there's that, even. I feel like I'm on that one TV show, "I should be dead right now".

I'm not giving up yet, though. It's not over 'till it's over, right? Rudy wants to keep me, I think. So does Tyson, by proxy. Jeremiah says he's keeping me, as does Aras. There's the majority. Problem is, I don't trust anyone in this majority, LOL. I don't trust anyone in this game, really. I don't trust Rudy the least, though, so there's that. He's playing really well. It's a big part of why I haven't been going after him, unbeknownst to him. Partly because that makes him a big target, but also because if I can't win, I'd like him to. That's my Achilles Heel in these things.
I'm most likely screwed, though, so good luck, Rufus! All I can really do now is try to make sure that Aras, Tyson, and . . . oh yeah, Jeremiah, I've got to try to make sure they actually vote to keep me.

I confronted Ami earlier, and she immediately freaked the hell out and spilled the beans. It was friggen hilarious. I acted like I was buying all of her shit, but she's full of shit. Can't afford all of it. Rudy says she was backpedaling to him, though, so I don't even know what she's doing now. I told her that more than one person already told me about the plan. The point of this is to make her feel like all of the numbers aren't really with the plan, but in actuality, it was only Rudy who told me, LOL. I've been doing that to everyone. Even if I go, they're going to be paranoid as FUCK next round. #ChaosCaleb 

But here's the best part of my night -- the Monica conversation. Holy crap, it was the most ridiculous I've ever felt while playing these things. Here we are, playing a game based on a Reality TV show for no prize, and here Monica is, slinging insults at me that I haven't heard since high school. At the beginning, I honestly thought I was being trolled. I tried levelling with her and explaining things from my point of view. Joaq wants me out, Ami was going to vote me out, and now Monica is pissed off at me. But of course, why not just stick with these three people?! "That sounds like a splendid idea, Monica, I don't know how I could have even considered anything else! I've been 'retarded' and also my momma is fat". I started prodding her on a bit, just to see if she'd eventually block me, 'cause kek. She didn't, though, and she started to go on about how I was being emotional. Just to fuck with her further, I told her I have Aspergers. But . . . it turned out she has Aspergers, and now I'm a horrible person. Even worse, she started to describe her symptoms to me, and they actually, like . . . I do those things. So, now I could be going home, AND I'm over here facing a personality crisis. That's some classic Survivor right there.

BUT THEN JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THIS ROUND COULDN'T GET ANY WEIRDER, FRIGGEN JOAQAMOLE APPEARS. AT 4AM. Wut. He goes and throws everything on Ami and Monica. Says they're in cahoots, and that Ami actually led the charge against me. It's like I'm in a Survivor parody right now. Monica just finished telling me she'd play her idol on Joaq, and now Joaq comes on and says it was all Monica and Ami. Fucking Lol. 

I honestly don't know what to believe, and I really don't care. This shit has made my night. I could go, and I'll have fond memories about this night to tell my grandkids by the fire.
Regardless, I told Joaq that his best way of staying would be to try and flip the vote onto Ami, and that I'd vouch for him. No idea if I will or not yet, but we'll see. He's not very trusted right now, and I like that. No idea if Monica is still using her idol, either, since I told her that Joaqamole pinned everything on her and Ami (albeit more-so Ami). I wouldn't mind seeing Jeremiah go, so long as an idol is burned in doing so. Conversely, I wouldn't mind seeing Joaq or Ami go. Not sure I'd like to see Caleb go. I like that guy, even though he smells of expired pork.
