Austin says he told Don that he knew something was up when I showed up to tribal with lipstick on...which is spot on but I also did it for Tierra. Tonight has been... something else.

When you find out the other alliance name is something like "Raise your hand if you thought you were working with Jenn and Nick". Honestly? Our impact LOL And then they target Teddy instead?

Okay, I'm going to procrastinate writing a final paper and write a confessional instead.
1. I can't believe that we pulled that off. I wanted to believe Jeff yesterday when he said he would vote with us, especially after I went out on a limb and leaked what Steffen and Sam had been telling me. It was always a possibility that Jeff could go back and compare notes or work something out with that side so that he didn't have to flip again. Talking to Jeff afterwards, it seemed beneficial for both of us since he saved us, and we saved him by not siding with Steffen. When Don, Teddy, Nick and I were talking, we decided it would be better for Jeff to think he had final say in whoever left. I think voting Aren was smart because it eliminates a power without releasing one, like we'd tried to do last round, it weakens Sam because he loses his second vote, and we hopefully fractured their group. I do believe that it was a group effort by all of us in the minority to get Jeff to flip, but Teddy, Nick and I were up until like 7am after Tierra went home, figuring out the best plan of action, so I am proud of us.
2. I think I might've really dropped a bomb on my relationship with Steffen. I blatantly used him to better my position in this game at the expense of his, and I do think he felt really bad after lying to me with the Tierra vote. I guess something about me and Steffen in games will just never mesh. When I talked to him after the Tierra vote and he said he wouldn't target Austin but would be willing to flip on Jeff, I thought that might be the only course of action. I hadn't talked things through yet with Jeff and I was pissed. I think because I talked to Sam first, he got most of my anger, and I know you can't shut doors in Survivor if you want to do well even after people have cut off your legs. Steffen also told Nick about being willing to flip on Jeff, and when I talked to him about it, we were going to keep it a secret. When I woke up the next day, granted it was like 4pm and I needed to get plans moving before tribal, the first thing I did was call Jeff and leak what Steffen had said. I think out of everyone I lied to Steffen the most, because at tribal he messaged me if the plan was still on, and I told him straight up "VOTE JEFF" and he said he would take Don using his power as the sign the plan was going through. Sidenote, I think it's funny that no one has used an advantage in this game correctly yet, although that nullifier didn't hurt. When the Jeff vote was read out, I think it helped push Jeff to our side even more, and it jolted Sam that two people in his group voted "out of line". As much as I love a good expose, and think it was the right game move, I did feel bad about Jeff ripping into Steffen after tribal, he didn't deserve that.
3. I didn't think the vote would work out that well. I thought one of them might help us out, but not both. I'm glad that Teddy went home, and I understand targeting him so Lizzie would get a power and by extension, Sam could increase his position in the game a-fucking-gain, but if everyone thought they were working with me and Nick, why not one of us? I think we made the targets on our back a little bigger after last night, but at least we came to play. The aftermath of tribal was, truly an experience. I'm still gluing back pieces of my hair to my scalp today. It came out from Don that Sam may or may not have been making fun of me for crying to him, and Teddy had a few words for Sam, and then I did (for the record, I never yelled at Sam and he would be BLESSED if I ever got that angry with him) and then it was basically watching the Donald vs. Sam show. Donald was really on a roll last night, both in our alliance calls and the tribe call, so it was entertaining at least. I'll never forgive John for losing the audio of last night. Sam kept telling Don he was drunk and to shut up, which was basically his only comeback except for extreme denial, and I don't know what to think until I see his confessionals. He insisted that he and Carley were not close, which, is an insult to everyone else because we all know that it was painfully obvious. Jeff went in on Steffen, Steffen left the call, Lizzie came back, Austin was on the edge of his seat (wimp was all talk about calling out Teddy beforehand and then was silent at tribal) and when I finally left the call, Donald was talking about how his dick wasn't long but it was fat. Someone save me.
4. The Lizzie situation. Let me preface this, with the fact that I do feel bad about my previous confessionals for round 8, and this goes for Lizzie and everyone else I write shit about, this game is an absolute attack on my emotions and everything is usually written in the heat of the moment, so take it with a grain of salt. I probably actually enjoy you all outside of a game perspective. I was mad because it worsened my position in the game, and even more angry that the two people I'm closest too were hurt. That more than anything bothers me, because I don't like to see my friends upset. I know I was skeptical of Lizzie since the swap, and I was happy to be proven right, I don't like to see anyone go through what she's going through now. She sent me an apology the morning after the merge vote, and I've since responded to talk things out. I think she's a super sweet girl, and I can relate to her first game kind of fucking with her head a bit. As someone who also suffers with anxiety, now that she's explained it and after seeing how emotional she was at tribal yesterday, I can understand why she acted the way she did.
5. Austin told me it was a good move, but we haven't spoken since. Sam tried to reach out and make sure I knew that he didn't make fun of me crying and that he cried in a confessional after we spoke, but I honestly could care less if he did or didn't. He said he was hurt that I didn't come to him with a plan like he asked, and I told him I found something better that was more of a guarantee than just his "consideration" of whatever plan I came to him with. Oops.

When you go from a challenge flop to winning two of three immunities since merge >>> When you're told that the minority wants to just quit since everyone is "handing Jenn the win anyways" >>> *Credit to Teddy for the gif
