R12: One Wing In The Fire

[Rob Mariano]

This confessional is going to describe my playing style from here on out. I've been playing this game like an angel, the good guy, and now I'm going to have one wing in the fire, because I need to start really fighting for my safety in this game. It's obvious that Sierra betrayed us, and I find her whole "I voted Brett cause he wouldn't use his rewards" excuse to be complete bullshit. That's like... the most dumbest reason to vote someone ever.

So the plan this round is for me, Fabio, and Stephenie to vote together, and me and Fabio use our double votes and get rid of Monica. This isn't official yet cause I haven't talked to Fabio on it, but it's better than me using mine to make a 4 vote, then Sierra playing hers and tying it 5-5, then that wouldn't be good. Sierra has the HII, so it's not the best option to target her this round, so we might as well vote for Monica. I hate being the fiddle in this concert, and I'm not letting her play me.

[Rob Mariano]

The only people at this point I feel I can trust 100% or I feel I can because Monica and Sierra both lied to me about the vote. Monica said that she was going to vote however I wanted, I told her that Sierra said the majority was Austin which she did. I still can't get over the blow that got dealt at tribal, Sierra and Monica have both lied to me, and I need to win the immunity this round and I cannot have Sierra and Monica win it, especially not Monica since she's who I want out more due to Sierra having the HII. We have to think this out carefully because the wrong move could be pulling the trigger on my gun and kill me in this game. Every move is Russian Roulette, and it's time to burn the liars at the witch trial.

PM from Sierra:

so...


here;s the thing... now i wanna go after monica. someone, who i had previously said i wanted out... came and talked to me and showed me some stuff that him and monica talked abt...


basicaly monica is coming after you and me, next, in no particular order.





also... did brett give you anything? he told me his items were "not wasted"... LOL.








let me know... i also heard from... *somone* that ur gunning for me since i voted brett... but i doubt that's true since ur kinda... everyone is talking abt voting you out, and me out... and i'm the only one who would never vote you...


lol so i feel like that part of what i heard was a lie, obviously






we'll talk soon


anyway, i'm kinda thinking positive about our chances here...


ppl in monica's alliance are defecting, and i have the idol so i know she doesn;'t

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay.... so about the above PM. I don't have any rewards from Brett, and I don't really trust 100% that she's actually gonna target Monica. She's told me throughout this game how Monica was so powerful and needed to be out, things like that, and still last round she voted Brett out. So I need to watch whatever she says this round for sure.

[Rob Mariano]

Grrr I always end up losing my AIM convos cause I sign offline. So pretty much Sierra has been saying the same things that are in the PM in the confessional above this. She says that now Austin is targeting me, in a way I believe it and in a way I don't. I mean this is coming from the guy who said he trusts me, I mean I told him that he was the target for the round, and didn't vote him like he said, so for him to vote me out is a slap in my face. Everyone is shoved so far up Monica's ass like she's got honey buns or something up there. The whole tribe chemistry is shot now, everyone is losing their trust for people, everyone wants everyone gone. It's like the 6 of us left are sailing on the Love Boat from Hell.

[Rob Mariano]

So I pretty much need to win immunity this round or it could very well be me next. However, Fabio and me came up with a plan for Steph to null Monica and Sierra's votes so that they don't count cause apparently her nullifier works differently than Sierra's. If they do that, and vote with me, then Austin would be the only counting vote on their end and I'd be guaranteed F5, but however it's this fear in the back of my mind of an S1 alliance :\ I mean they did vote with us in the plan, but that's only cause Brett was their ally, and I just don't know... I wanna make F5 and it's hard when I'm constantly questioning how loyal Steph and Fabio will be to me :S makes me super nervous. If I do go, it won't even be a blindside, because I'm expecting to go anytime soon, but I'm gonna fight my ass off for immunity, because then I can be at ease, and they aren't gonna make me give up my necklace to one of them... They want to play mental warfare with me, but I know I got the right grenades to blast it to hell.

[Rob Mariano]

YES! I won the immunity! I definitely needed to keep this away from Monica who is the target at this point. Thing is now I have just got Monica to distrust Sierra, and now Sierra distrusts Monica, I should have really thought of this rounds ago. Apparently Sierra was saying the whole "everyone wants you gone" thing to Monica too, and had Monica paranoid, so when I told her Sierra was saying it back to me, she realized she was getting played like a fiddle too... best part is Fabio ratted out Monica's plan to blindside Sierra this round.

It's fun watching them run around like headless chickens, and they're turning to me to vote with them. At this point, Monica is the biggest jury threat so she really needs to go. Sierra is torn between Stephenie and Monica, which idk why cause Monica was targeting her. I want them both to cling to me as their last lifeline since I'm immune. #1 in Survivor: Never talk game with everyone, there's bound to be one person that's gonna go around and tell on you, and then you just got the Karma bitchslap.

[Rob Mariano]

So about the vote... who do I want gone? Well I really want Monica gone for the most part because she's the biggest jury threat at this point, if she gets there, she's got John's vote locked down and I'm pretty sure she could swing JT and Heidi into voting her, so that's 3 guaranteed votes. How is she as a strategist? Pretty damn good I might say. She was gonna mole the all-girls alliance although it flopped due to Becky's inactiveness, make everyone vote her last round so she could idol out Brett, her idea to do the color codes in the jewel challenge. So really, if she gets to the end and talks all her strategy, then yeah, she's gonna be crowned winner of Namibia.

I love the whole bending over and kissing my ass thing that everyone is doing to me this round. So yeah she went all these tribals without any votes counting for her, and this is her second tribal she's attending, well it's time to kiss your Koror mentality goodbye Monica!

[Rob Mariano]

The best thing about this round is... backtrack to how I said we could hit Monica from the left side, or punch her directly in the face. Well, looks like I'm punching her directly in the face as well. Her attitude has went from cocky to paranoid as judging from these IMs:

Monica
okay
well
now i'm seriously fucked
Rob Mariano
why?
Monica
fabio told sierra that i wanted to blindside her
the ONLY way to survive now is if you vote fabio :-\
although i know that you're likely to side with her


Monica
oh gee, a pattern
honestly dude
i think we need to band together here
she's saying shit to both of us.
you could so convince her not to play her idol. and then next round we can take out steph and fab... me you and austin can.

I just love it... why would I vote out Fabio? That's the person right now I feel I can trust 100% voting him out would be shooting myself in the foot, and that's the last thing I want to do this round.

Let's look at it: Desperate attempts to make me vote Fabio? Check. Mentioning she's fucked this round? Check. No sign of confidence in her tone in IMs? Check. Yep, it's official. She's paranoid as fuck.

[Rob Mariano]

So me and Sierra got into a bit of a discussion about everything.. apparently she told Monica about my HII and me giving it to Darrah because of Brett :\ but it wasn't out of playing me and apparently Monica, told everyone else about it. I don't know if I am being bullshitted here but she's showing me the PM's of Fabio, Monica, and Stephenie wanting me out, if this is actually true and they really do, then yeah I might need to regain my alliance with Sierra, but they could just be lying and telling her this in order to blindside her... so really F5 is gonna be a hell of a round for me cause in my mind, 3 people want me gone if its honest truth, if it's a lie which I hope it is, then Sierra's the liar at the witch trial here.

[Rob Mariano]

Last confessional of the round... So Monica told Sierra if she does manage to stay in the game that she wants to come after me :\ I hope tribal goes as planned and Monica is going to Pornorosa next. That would be awesome cause she is the biggest jury threat at this point, and a damn good strategical player. Ohhh not a bad challenge player either can't forget that Me and Sierra had a bit of a falling out earlier about me being open to booting her next round, so she's really depending on me and Fabio to keep her in next round... but it's really she's been telling things I told her all cause Brett was my #1 ally so it's really hard to trust her as my ally.

Thing is now everyone left is feeling some sense of paranoia. I've seen PMs of people wanting me gone, Sierra knows people are after her, Fabio is a target this round, Austin has been feeling he'd leave since last round, and idk about Steph. As I said before this tribe is one big Love Boat from Hell cause there's no chemistry anymore. :\ I just know I really need these next few immunities if I have any shot of making finals, I mean I don't care if I don't win, I'm proud of my game even if I don't make it that far.
