Im not in 8th place! Now I just need to not go home this week or next, and I can finally place higher than I ever have on proboards! Yay! Of course that's getting way ahead of myself, especially since this coming round could be incredibly tricky.
I want to blindside Sierra.
Ok, so I've wanted to do that FOREVER, I know, but now that Jimmy is finally gone I think the time has come. See, I really would have been fine with Sierra. I like her as a person for the most part, but in this game... well I don't think I even need to explain this one any more than I have already. She plays this whiny manipulation game, and she has no actual loyalty to anyone. She votes however the wind takes her, and even if she's making a strategic play, she could go completely off the rails at the slightest perceived insult. And she's gunning for me.
I was a paranoid mess last round. The reason is simple: I thought Sierra and Jimmy were together. The two of them pulling resources, with Austin along for the ride and enough showmanship could have potentially blindsided me. That's why I didn't want Sierra hearing the vote was for jimmy... and she did hear. And she voted with us against him. And that changes a lot.
See, I was paranoid because who in their right minds WOULDN'T boot me at the f8? Here is this little asshole alliance whore, with not just 2, but 3 very (hopefully ) solid allies. Its the final 8. Half of the people in the game are either him, or alligned to him. Oh! And just in case that's not enough, he's got a goddamn triple vote. And let's say the 6x vote is probably out there... assuming no other doublers are used and at least one other person votes with him, this asshole can VOTE OUT WHOEVER HE DAMNED WELL PLEASES. Why, in the name of forum games, would you not boot this person before his alliance gains full majority of the game? Why would you not blindside this person at the f8?
Why would Sierra ever boot the one person just as crazed and enthusiastic about eliminating me as she is? I was thinking he's her main ally in this game, someone she wouldn't boot if she didn't have someone closer. So... wha if she does have someone else?
What if she has Rob?
Obviously she found out about the Jimmy vote. I don't think Fab would stick his neck out. Steph's been sick and has no clue what's going on. I have cut off of initiating any kind of contact with Sierra and she's stopped contacting me after the last few cold receptions. I haven't talked to her since the auction so obviously I have given nothing away.
I like Rob. He's a good guy and he's a friend. But... there is something off about him lately. He's not as open, and he's... odd. I don't quit know what's going on with him, and a friend told me that they think there's something... off... about his relationship with Sierra. And I agree.
So I am not telling him about any of this.
Right now, the plan stays between me and my other #2, Fabio. We'll be discussing who to bring in on the Sierra vote and the story to spread in detail later. For now though, im just going to have to see who wins immunity. Endurance posting. What do you want to bet the wrong one wins?
On one more note, Austin told m he heard Jimmy was saying he wanted me out, and he told me its not true. But then, he changed Jimmy's vote to me. I could stand to keep the panicky guy around longer than the" biggest threat" though, so we'll see.

Also, doing this without Rob is going to be tough, not just because it involves convincing him he is not a target while he is so convinced he is, but also because I don't think he'll be too happy about me blindsiding his friend without even telling him... but if we do it this way his hands stay clean, so there's that.
