Well this confessional is going up a bit last minute, but IDC.
Really there isn’t a lot to talk about anyway. (he says) All I know is that I hate eyes. That challenge was so bad lol. I mean to compete in, not as an idea of course. I am not great at identifying Survivor contestants when seeing full pictures of them. I had almost no hope trying to deal with just the eyes. I was surprised I got as many right as I did. It was basically just a lot of luck I think.
But out tribe lost. So oh well, time to go to tribal. I don’t particularly mind going because I am pretty sure I will be safe either way. I haven’t heard a negative thing about me come up (yet) and I think I am in pretty good with everyone on my tribe. I have my 4 person alliance with Tom, Sierra, and Jaime. Amber is also in as a fifth. Kimmi also proposed an alliance of the 4 of Tom, Sierra, Jaime, and I along with her. So that’s cool. I have my own friendly relationship with John and Cirie so I am good there.
AND Amber told me that she has the idol for this round. Ok great! So I know that she trusts me because she told me about that.
At the start of the round Tom and I talked about who we would target. Because of our previous talks about Cirie and me thinking I could trust Amber, I went right into the convo saying how we should probably just vote Cirie. He seemed confused and suggested we vote Amber because Cirie is at least good in challenges.
Now it’s not that I don’t like Cirie, it’s just that I like Amber and John more and I know that Tom is close to Kimmi. She becomes the next logical target basically. So I was trying to essentially tell him why I thought we should keep Amber over Cirie. Cirie has been more sketch with an alliance that was made with her, kimmi, john, and Jaime. I also said Amber was less likely to flip because she isn’t exactly a socialite so people wouldn’t trust her as much. I did my best to come up with logical arguments and not really put much emotion into what I was saying, but Tom asked me if I was angry at him for suggesting Amber.
Angry? No not at all. I just would much rather vote Cirie. If I have to vote Amber, then so be it. I really would prefer not to because she trusts me and hasn’t done anything to betray that trust. But if I have to, then I will.
So we officially lose the challenge and Tom locks in his vote for Cirie. He said he was worried about not being around much the next day. I am worried I scared him by making it seem like was upset, and I don’t want that at all. I really want him to trust me. I like Tom and I’d like to ally with him as long as I can atm.
This was when I had my longest convo with Kimmi so far. Still very nice, very long messages being sent. I can see why people like her, and she must have liked me enough considering this was when she offered the alliance to me. I can tell that she can easily be a threat later down the road, but for right now I guess she would be fine.
So it should be an easy vote for Cirie. No big deal or anything. I told both Amber and Kimmi and they were ok with it. Things are looking swimmingly………

EASY VOTE. GOSH DANG EASY VOTE. BLEEEEGGGHHHH.
YEAH so this is not an easy vote. Amber, of course, went and told Cirie she was the target. Amber ALSO told Cirie that she has the idol and is going to play it on her. FINALLY, Amber told Cirie that they were going to vote for Sierra and blindside her with the idol play. Kimmi, Amber, John, and Cirie would all vote for an eliminate Sierra.
How did I find this out? Well Sierra John and I made an alliance group chat to talk about this vote. Yeah we are a thing now apparently. I actually really like it, I connected pretty well with them so it works out. Anyway, John got a message from Cirie saying all of that was happening and that they should vote Sierra and do a big blindside.
Apparently Amber and Sierra have some pregame beef? That was what Cirie told John. So this makes me look like an absolute idiot because I have been trying to defend Amber all this time. I did trust her to vote Cirie and make this easy. Apparently what happened was Kimmi and Amber had a talk and they found out both of them were fifths in the alliance. Ugghhhhhh. My fault again? Idk. I could be too hard on myself I guess but this is sounding like a thing I may have started. Luckily I don’t think anyone has quite realized it, at least I hope. The target is not on me so I am happy about that.
But the target is now on Sierra. We made a new group chat with Tom to tell him what was going on (with the hopes that he doesn’t come to the realization us 3 are working together). We were going to add Jaime too but he hasn’t been on AIM a lot today. Internet problems I think. If we think that Amber will play her idol on Cirie, the next logical thing would be to vote Amber right?
Well so far logic hasn’t been winning out. There is the possibility Amber plays the idol on herself too. She could be lying to Cirie, irdk. There are a lot of possibilities.
But there seems to be one scenario that can work out for us……….
John said Kimmi told him about her chat with Amber. Kimmi seems to be all aboard the voting Sierra band wagon. And I don’t think there is any reason to suspect us voting for Kimmi. So why not do that? It seems to be the safest way to go. She wants Sierra gone, she is backing out of the deal we tried to make without saying anything about it to me, well alrighty then, g’bye.
At least it should be as easy as that. But there were a few problems. First one being Tom still likes Kimmi a lot. With Tom liking Kimmi it is kinda hard for him to vote for her. He tried talking to her about possibly splitting the vote so Cirie or Amber would go in her place. Well apparently she told Cirie all of that who told John, so we knew about it and Tom changed his tune.
Sierra was getting a bit upset, understandably considering she may very easily be blindsided. It was a close call, and it was amazing that John was there to stop it from happening. She is worried that Tom would still refuse to vote for Kimmi and send her home, but I think those fears stopped after John showed us Cirie’s message about Kimmi.
Cirie then came to believe (Sierra told her) that Tom wanted to target her. Now this was planned and Tom was in on it, but we didn’t expect the public outburst that followed. There were messages in the group chat where Amber pretended to argue with Cirie to make it look like they aren’t close, and then there was a post made to the board. Coolio Cirie. Coolio.
So now I am just really hoping this can all work. Cirie was telling John that she doesn’t really want to target Sierra, but Amber is playing the idol on her to do it so it’s hard not to. John then tried to convinced them that they were voting for Tom. I faked a chat with him saying that I was willing to vote Tom is the numbers were there. So there is a small possibility that Tom will get more votes than Sierra, so if the idol gets played correctly he may be the one who goes. Idk, I’m being cautiously optimistic that the problem was dealt with properly. What I am hoping is for the following to happen:
4 votes Kimmi – 3 votes Sierra – 1 vote Cirie. If that happens, this would be pretty ok as long as the idol isn’t played on Kimmi randomly. Something to be worried about it John told Cirie he was going to vote Kimmi as a stray so that way he isn’t involved in the vendetta and if there is a swap he will be safe with us. HOPEFULLY this/Tom possibly telling Kimmi doesn’t lead to Sierra getting eliminated.
I can’t begin to explain how happy I am that I am safe, but I’m still really worried. Just have to remain calm. The vote is in, hopefully the idol is played on Amber or Cirie, and Kimmi is the one who gets eliminated. I am EXTREMLY worried about a swap/merge after this though. I am making enemies here. Cirie and Amber can easily go to the nuPenedo and as to get me voted out for lying to them. I’m well aware that this can happen, but either way lines are going to be drawn this vote. I just have to hope I’m on the right side of them.
