.:~Round 8 - Options~:.

[Chelsea]

I'm so thankful that we're on a new tribe.

First of all, I get to meet Jamie and Matty. Impressions: Matty = bland. Like not even vanilla bland... more like no substance tofu bland.
Jamie, strong. He currently has an immunity in the challenge, he went 8 hours, he's in London, he's like super wanting me to trust him and giving me like 6 reasons not to trust Ozzy. He's playing hard. Aka... a threat. I might temporarily align with him tho until the official merge. 

Tom told us that everyone liked Kimmi but she couldn't be trusted because of the whole Jon/Cirie weird thing that happened. Then, Cirie played an idol on herself and Amber was booted. Tom likes Jamie and Matty and wants to work with Jeff/I.

Ozzy obviously wants to work with Jeff/I - but let's be real. He's closer to Jeff than me.

I don't know what can happen at merge.

Jamie wants Me/Jeff/Tom/Matty/Steph and him to work at merge. Boot Joaq/Crystal/Cirie which are an obvious final 3. Which I can definitely see. I wanted to tell Crystal the truth but she still told Ian about the vote and luckily we switched the vote onto Ian and it was still a blindside. I like Crystal... but I definitely cannot trust her. And Joaquin has less personality than a piece of cardboard.

---

People I trust:
Jeff, Tom, Steph

So maybe this proposed 6 could work? Idk. Still have to consider more options.

Seriously, I'm just glad people have a reason to talk again. Penedo #2 sucked after the Ian vote. 

[Chelsea]

Also... I love the fact that the idol has been given to me 3 times in 8 rounds... hope that trend continues in the merge!

Also, I will be vulnerable the first round of the merge (unless I win immunity) which is very scary.


People who have used the idol and cannot use it again:
Cirie

Contestant	Tribe #1	Tribe #2	Tribe #3
Chelsea	Penedo	Penedo	Penedo
Cirie	Barra	Barra	Barra
Crystal	Barra	Penedo	Barra
Jamie	Novais	Barra	Penedo
Jeff	Penedo	Penedo	Penedo
Joaquin	Barra	Penedo	Barra
Jon	Barra	Barra	Barra
Matty	Novais	Barra	Penedo
Ozzy	Novais	Penedo	Penedo
Sierra	Penedo	Barra	Barra
Stephanie	Novais	Penedo	Barra
Tom	Penedo	Barra	Penedo

I think it's interesting that 3 people from each original tribe have been voted out
Penedo (Natalie, Shane, Osten)
Barra (Debbie, Ian, Kimmi)
Novais (Parvati, Edgardo, Amber)

[Chelsea]

Chelsea =/= Cirie/Jon
Cirie =/= Chelsea/Jeff/Ozzy
Crystal =/= Jamie/Matty/Tom
Jamie =/= Crystal/Joaquin
Jeff =/= Cirie/Jon
Joaquin =/= Jamie/Matty/Tom
Jon =/= Chelsea/Jeff/Ozzy
Matty =/= Crystal/Joaquin
Ozzy =/= Cirie/Jon/Sierra
Sierra =/= Ozzy
Stephanie =/= Tom
Tom =/= Crystal/Joaquin/Stephanie

Theoretically, Stephanie and Sierra are in the best positions because they've met more people and technically have more ties

[Chelsea]

Ozzy 'not caring' about this challenge but is INVIS on the board -.- smh

[Chelsea]

Also I have to credit Jeff for giving us a lot of options. People gravitate to liking him more and he's the reason why I'm in a semi-decent spot.

Stephanie/Ozzy
Joaquin/Crystal
Tom/Sierra
Tom/Jamie/Matty

--------

I think that one of Jon or Sierra will leave on Barra. It looks like Joaquin/Crystal/Cirie will stay together and it'd be smart for Stephanie to flip for just one round

I'm a little nervous of voting out Ozzy and how Stephanie will react.

[Chelsea]

F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck

There's only 3.5 hours left and I couldn't hold onto it?!? Great job Chelsea.... Great job

[Chelsea]

Thank the lord I have immunity. It was a little premature that these people were talkative. I stayed up until about midnight and no one was around to talk about the vote. Tom just got off work, I never know where Jeff is, Matty was with friends and Jamie is in London.

If I didn't have immunity I would be spazzing out right now. At least I made top 10 and hopefully the jury phase.

I'm considering flipping at merge to people that actually talk a lot more. I don't like this unsettling feeling of not knowing. Like... we should totally have a plan by now, right?
