Nick's back! Woo!
I see that Mike has quit. Also heard that he was maybe going to get voted tonight, so it looks kind of bad the way he went out. Jeff and I had a feeling he might be targeted, at least from my point of view, Donald didn't seem to high on him. The biggest bummer though is that Yurbaco didn't have to feel like wrath of tribal council, and Steffen gets to keep his idol (but more on this later!). I'm trying to be positive about it and look at it like they haven't really tested any of their bonds with people, but please, where was this quit when we were rigged of the win with our movie trailer. I'm not bitter.
Jeff and I called earlier tonight, and there were some discoveries like he's actually played a Tumblr Survivor game with Aren (who has played twice IM SHOOK) and Elise was also in that season and came second. Jeff now thinks that the twist of this game is that everyone has played TS at least once. Yeah...no. Probably not a good look. My biggest takeaway from the call was that guess what? Jeff wants to target Austin now. The time has come where he is now worried about Austin/Holli/Sam as a group and it's "pissing him off". Well well, didn't we already go over this at the first tribal? But now that Nick and I can't go anywhere and Austin has clear relationships with these people, Jeff needs to create a target on someone that's not himself and remain safe even if Nick and I are forced to idol. I'm not saying I'm opposed to taking out Austin, I'd just rather it be Holli. Ideally, we'd avoid tribal so Nick and I can save the idols for a swap or something, but beggars can't be choosers. Jeff also said he felt like Austin was kissing Nick's ass, and how Austin was telling him how sad he was the I was sent to exile last round because it ruined such an easy vote. Aww, love you too Austin!
Nick and I called when he got back, and he told me about his idol.
He said that Lizzie was actually the one girl who isn't aligned with Donald, but I can't even be faulted for this like, Donald just said a girl, so you played yourself on that one. Then he starts talking about how Donald went back to his entire tribe and told them basically everything I said. I'm not surprised, and honestly he's only hurting himself by doing that, because now his whole tribe knows I'm a free agent and willing to work with them. It could become an issue if whoever goes to exile next from their side starts blabbing to someone over here, but I don't stand by anything I said to Donald or my tribe. I'm not loyal to anyone but Nick, so like, I said what I did to get the idol and make sure Nick was saved next.
Everyone on this tribe already knows I don't feel comfortable with them, and honestly Yurbaco should try and use me as a number but whatever. Lizzie said she was actually pretty close to Teddy, which doesn't surprise me either because let's be honest, Teddy is probably aligned with everyone (I guess Lizzie said Teddy wasn't on anyone's radar which like you go Teddy), but now I'm having like these dreams about an alliance of Teddy/Lizzie/Nick/Me and like? That really is goals. It's just those pesky Lizzie connections to Austin and Jeff. Lizzie said we should try and send Aren next, because all of his confessionals haven't gone unnoticed and he's "really ready to play the game" which is all fine and dandy but I also think he's the one who would open his mouth the most, which could either help or hinder me. It sounded like Nick talked her out of sending Jeff, which could actually be a good thing if Jeff is willing to flip to us should we lose, he doesn't get an advantage, and then they could send Michael or someone we know is not going to vote with us. The only problem with this is we started theorizing about deadlines with the Thanksgiving holiday this weekend, and people are pretty confident a swap is coming, and if it's an instant tribal on Wednesday night or the exile people become tribe captains or some other ugly host decision, I'm not leaving that to Micheal and Aren. In that case I'd want Teddy to go, Teddy to pick Nick, Nick to pick Lizzie and Lizzie to pick me or some combination of that. I wouldn't mind keeping Jeff with me, because after Nick, he's the only one I actually like talking to at this point.
I tried talking to Holli today, and it was literally like watching paint dry. I guess it was better than the absolute no talking to Jermaine and Michael that went on today, but the weather? We're a week in, we should be way past talking about the weather. I'd also just like to complain about this challenge being on the day I have the longest day of classes, like since we have two Canadians on this tribe who don't have a holiday..........................
