R13: Away to F4 I go!

[Rob Mariano]

YES! 2 immunities in a row, feels good to know I'm in the final 4! Thing is now I have two options at my disposal and that is I can vote Stephenie out who has a pretty good shot at possibly winning this game, or I can go and vote out Austin who isn't the strongest challenge player, but is an obvious underdog who could get votes based on that. However, Austin trusts me so voting him out would be really hard, but voting out Stephenie would make me a backstabber to my alliance so I really don't know what to do. This whole thing is strategical warfare, I'm pretty happy on getting to the end but just torn on what to do.

So the pros and cons to keeping them are this... Austin would be the easier person to beat in the final IC, he is a loyal vote who I know I could have on my side, however... he has targeted me in the past so keeping him is a vote headed my way, and taking him out removes a potential threat to me, and also Austin has this whole "underdog" thing to him like I said in the last post, that could help him get votes cause I know John swore to vote whoever didnt vote him out :\ so that's one jury vote I have lost. Stephenie however, is my ally so keeping her would get the votes off my back if I didn't win the F3 immunity so it's really a crucial round. Me getting to the F3 depends on what I do tonight, so I really need to think long and hard about it.

So I have been thinking about who I think I could easily beat in the F3. If F3 was me, Austin, and Sierra... I see the finals being close between me and Sierra, but then with Austin... he's the underdog and could get votes based on that like this whole "I was a target but I never left type thing." If F3 is me, Fabio, and Sierra ... then I think that the finals would be closer because Fabio's played a good strategic game, and Sierra and me both have a few enemies on the jury so it is pretty scary. This round pits me as a swing vote if Fabio and Steph vote Austin, and Sierra and Austin vote Steph.... This swing vote could bite me in the ass worse than a dog on a mailman.

Get ready for the hardest round of your life... because that's seriously the way I feel about it.

Long day ahead of me with this Christmas shopping I
So I've thought about it all day and think I should just do Stephenie but then again, she's my ally and I really need to think of who I would win against easier, and its really stressing, I cannot really think straight at all tonight, but I'm trying to come back down to earth and think things through. I feel like no matter what move I make, I'm still the bad guy so it's really tough to think on what to do. Being in a swing position like this makes me feel like Superman, but I'm full of Kryptonite.

Since this round is over in 10 minutes... I'm gonna end my confessional in holiday spirit:

you better not look
he's voting you out,
he will just smile and never have to pout,
Boston Rob is coming to town

Gotta love it... I'm bad with parodies anyways so yeah Gotta bear with me on that one.

In all seriousness though, I just hope that Brett isn't pissed with me over voting for Stephenie, it's just when it comes down to it, she really needed to go because she's the biggest threat to win this game in my mind, so voting her out would help get one jury threat out the way, this game is just getting down to the wire, and it's time to either be a hero, be a villain, or be a vigilante, I'm thinking I need to be a vigilante.
