Well, this officially makes Nick and I the last soulmate pair standing. All is right in the world.

Time for a recap! After Lizzie left, it was imperative that someone in The Naughty List won the immunity challenge. Or second best, anyone but Sam/Steffen could win. Having the scheduling conflicts come up and not getting results until the next morning was excruciating and not good for my health. I'm over here trying to write my final exams meanwhile my game hinges in the balance. Priorities people. As much as I don't like Austin's game at this point, he did come through with beating Sam. Little Sammy taking out me and Nick first in the challenge wasn't surprising, and him saying he did it because "were the smartest people of our group" is a stretch but I'll take the sort of back handed compliment. I don't think anyone in our alliance was surprised that this was something Sam was good at, and we were inhabiting struggle street for that entire thing. When results were posted, I think we were all expecting an easy vote, because even though we were theorizing that Austin had the Conquest, we could still take out one of there group of three. Throughout the night, Jeff had been telling us that they were going to target me and that he was agreeing with what they said about my name. Ooooookay, uncomfortable, but I have limited options. Jeff tells us that Austin told him he had a vote stealer, and honestly, I didn't believe it for a second. It didn't seem like Don did either because why would the nullifier have to be used right away and not the steal? I called with Nick later that night and it was basically just us going through every possible option we had and what would be the best way to play things, if Jeff was telling the truth or if we needed to work on something. Then about two hours before the vote or so, Sam calls me. I should mention that we knew Teddy had a shadow idol to play at this point, so we just needed to find out who they were targeting even if Jeff wasn't with us, although Teddy felt like playing the idol on himself, which is totally fair. So Sam calls me, saying that they are trying to get Don out. Huh? He says that he was honest with me and Nick about trying to target Nick at the last vote, and my first reaction to this is: But I guess this honesty is supposed to make me believe him now? He explains that he asked the group who they wanted to target and "someone" aka Jeff threw out targeting Don. Okay, this is false but anyways. He wants me to vote for Don and save him, and tells me he has three people voting with him, because he has Jeff for sure. He tells me I've seen how much he and Jeff talk, and this isn't him trying to be an asshole like during the merge vote, he really doesn't want me in trouble this time. He continues that at this point, he's take out almost anyone to save himself. Then he wants to add Nick to the call, to reiterate these points to him. I swear he's trying to corner us on call so we can't talk and plan with anyone else. I straight up tell him that Jeff is calling me so I have to go, and Jeff is freaking out because he's not around and doesn't know what Sam is doing. I hope on call with Jeff and tell him that he's being thrown under the bus by Sam (all true by the way), and Jeff gets pissed. Nick joins the call, and we all agree we have to stick with getting Sam out. Sam then starts a call with himself, me, Nick and Austin in an attempt to get us to vote Jeff now. I ask him what happened to voting for Don, I heard they were voting for me (he copped to this a little like boy please) and Nick and I both ask to hear about Austin's power in order to gain trust. Nada. We both left the call saying we had to discuss it among the two of us, and then hopped on call with The Naughty List. We fill in the group, and Teddy and Nick think this could all be a smoke screen for them pinning votes on Nick. At this point, it's not even out of the realm of possibility with the shit storm they've created, literally 5 minutes before the vote. We're at tribal, and everyone is being super shady with their answers. Meanwhile Sam and Austin are spamming me in messages that they are voting for Jeff and to just trust them. Too little too late, that ship has sailed. Austin finally tells me about his vote stealer, which originally we were told he was going to use on Teddy, and he ends up using it on Jeff. Before we vote, Teddy and Austin get into a slight argument, I ask again if they're voting for me and Jeff, and they both say Jeff. I told Steffen before the vote that they weren't voting Don, and to vote Sam out and take the power. He says he will flip on a revote. When the vote ties 4-4, I'm not overly worried because Austin took Jeff's vote and he can't vote in the revote anyways, so Austin only votes once, and Steffen flips as he said. Hooray for Final 7, but this is where I usually go out so now I'm worried. It doesn't help that Sam hammered into my head that me and Nick are next, which I already knew about our huge target, but the negativity doesn't help. I'm hopeful that this round earned me some points with Jeff, because we've now really saved his ass twice. TWICE. That's going to bite me in the ass, I know it. Austin seemed visibly upset at the last tribal, and I need to talk to him before we go back there tomorrow. If he wins the challenge tonight, I'm not voting Steffen, so who's getting eaten first? I also need to talk with Teddy, because I'm a little unsure about where he stands on how much of a threat he sees me and Nick as. I had a good call with Steffen today, where I told him that Jeff was leaking everything from the start, and what I thought their plan was for the last vote. I think he's closer to Austin that I originally thought, and he was trying hard to get me to target Jeff or Don just to save Austin, so that's a no no. He did tell me that he has a regular idol, good until F5, and I don't know if this is better or worse than him having the Conquest. I also am a little stunned that the Conquest hasn't been chosen, or am I just being punk'd? Time will tell I guess. I had a long call with Nick last night again, just going through our options, but I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Steffen has made me paranoid about Don though, so I may be open to voting for him sooner than I thought.
