When you finish second last in the challenge but are still immune because you have a smart af partner:

Okay, so, I'm feeling a little better about the whole Teddy situation now. There was a lot of sleep involved to getting to this point, because even through most of yesterday I was feeling like I'd just unplugged his ventilator or something. Game ventilator of course, not to be dramatic. But with Teddy now gone, I'm the oldest person left. Like, I truly am the grandma now. How am I supposed to stay hip now? I was excited that the challenge was Mastermind because I loved the game growing up, and I did try and research like 'best mastermind strategies' on Google before competing, but the strategies were talking about formulas and different algorithms to set up your numbers and cancelling them out and let's just say there's a reason why I stopped taking math classes after first year. We don't mix so I thought I'd just hope to get lucky and take a simpler route. Not to mention, John's rules literally do not make sense. It said that you were told how many numbers were right, and then in the right or wrong spot, but numbers couldn't repeat and then John would tell you that you had a number right but in the wrong spot but 8 right numbers even though 1 only appeared once in the sequence. Da fuck. The lady doing the math meme? That was me last night. Me: John can we talk about results to people afterwards? John: I mean, you'll be giving someone else an advantage you didn't have, but sure. Me: Okay yeah, I don't really care about that. John: Oh right, I think I have a good idea about who you would tell LOL. Me: Attacked for being in a duo! When I finished with the challenge, I talked to Steffen about how he did. When he said he finished in 30, that was at least one person less to worry about, and I thought everyone would be somewhere in the early to late 20s. I knew Jeff had been going since I finished, so I was just assuming that he was struggling. When Nick texted me that he'd already finished, in like less than half an hour, I was shocked. Then when he said he finished in 9 tries, I thought he'd made a typo, like forgotten then 2 beforehand or at least the 1 to make it 19. NINE?! Single digits?! With 8 numbers and 16 values, in my head that's crazy. He was trying to explain his strategy, and it did look like the one I looked up, and then he got lucky too by cancelling out several numbers in the first go. I messaged Jeff to see where he was at, since it had been like well over an hour, and he said he was almost in tears from frustration at 17 tries. I told him Steffen and I both had well over that, while knowing we only had to worry about Austin's score. Austin messaged Nick that he'd finished at 27, and then once Nick told him he had 9, Austin said he got 17 and deleted the message that said 27. Granted it could've been a typo, but Austin's shady ass would try and pull something like that and then use the typo as an excuse. It's just sneaky. When John posted the link to the hangout for results, I thought it was just to watch, so I was about 5 seconds away from joining while facetiming with Nick which probably wouldn't have been the greatest look, especially since everyone is throwing around the possibility that Austin and Nick are closer than anyone thinks. Anyways, I love the duo twist for also making me safe this round and I love Nick for winning because we always knew that Final 5 could get sticky for us. Assuming that Steffen plays the idol on himself, it's really shaping up to be a vote between Jeff and Austin. Calling with Steffen today, I think he sees that I'm on the fence about the decision, and I know I have to involve him in the decision because I need him more than ever in the Final 4. I'm a little worried he could idol Austin and claim that move as his own to ensure Jeff went home and to separate Austin from me and Nick but Steffen started talking about his plan to use his "Adam Hassan idol of Safety" since Adam was immune at Final 5 in Egypt, so I'm hoping he goes through with that. I admittedly don't have a very good read on this jury, and everyone is talking about it all the time so it's started to mess with my head. It feels like Austin would get the votes from everyone he voted with on the Tierra vote, and he's been in a largely minority position for a lot of merge so that's scary, but Jeff has also been painted as a big threat and has managed to flip back and forth without really pissing people off, plus I think we would be fighting for a lot of the same votes. Jeff has won two challenges, but Austin has come close in almost all of them. Austin probably has the edge in endurance challenges, which everyone is speculating would be the final challenge, and now after being convinced of a final 2, everyone except Austin now believes in a Final 3. Austin and Jeff have both told me to my face that if I don't win immunity at Final 4 that they would try and take me out, while Steffen says he would take me to the end because he doesn't think he can win regardless of who he takes. Austin told Nick that if I won immunity next that Austin would vote for him, but then said if it was a final 2 he'd take Nick. That logic doesn't even make sense, but I guess after talking to Jeff and hearing something similar, the thought is that if one of me and Nick are immune at Final 4 and it's a final 3, people expect to lose anyways, so why not just take us both in hopes that we cancel each other out or votes get split between us. Where if it's a final 2, they can still try and take us both out. Then there's the perception that apparently if Austin gets voted out, it's my move because everyone thinks Nick and Austin are close, so then it looks like Nick is just doing whatever I say and makes people think he's been following me all game, which frankly isn't fair to either of us.
