Michael M's Diary - Episode 8

Yeah, so this game has been pretty linear. There was a three-some that voted me out, because they saw me as the easiest person to call a threat and try to get out, and I slipped through that round, and after Donna going, Joe fell behind her. I still attribute however the target being painted on my back, and the takeout to Jordan to Rebecca and Michael L. far more than Donna or Joe. I think that I have moved past that in many ways, but I still see the benefit in Michael L. going as soon as possible.

Michael L. is easily one of the strongest players left in this game challenge wise. I do believe actually that Jess, Bill, Pete, all these people are threats, but Michael L. has that killer instinct now with the position he is currently in, and as a non-challenge intensive player, it would be very good if I can get this guy out before he makes a run that me, and the weaker challenge-wise allies I plan to propel further into this game like Tiffani.

Me and Jess are really thinking about how we are going to play this out. We have thus decided to approach Pete with a final 5 deal. I believe that it has to be so overtly suspicious though that Jess didn't keep that final 3 with Bill/Pete, which immediately exposes likely that me and Jess are having some kind of final 2 to those two guys. I hope however that somehow they still believe deep down that Jess will simply stick with them and simply doesn't want to commit in the hopes of not risking being backed into a corner in the future where she is forced to conflict the word she gave to them.

I believe that Final 6 Mitch should be the target if we can keep Michael L. from immunity this round, and oust him. I have made it clear I kinda think Mitch is crazy, and I just hope that Pete and Bill think I am self-distructing, and don't fully grasp that my real strategic angle is to truly create a 3-strong unit that will be able to take out the pair without anyone around falling into their elloquence and alligning themselves with them for a vote. Me, Tiffani, Jess, that's all I need against that pair, but we gotta GET IT TO THAT PAIR. I think Jess right now doesn't fully grasp that I want Pete/Bill out final 5...but she will hopefully get when that time is there why it is so neccesary. It's a strong pair. If we take Tiffani out we have a tie likely, get out Pete/Bill, then we have 3-1 advantage, and even if the outlier wins immunity than Jess can tell Pete to vote me with her, and I'll tell Tiffani to vote Jess, and then me and Jess just vote Tiffani out. Brutal, possibly, but that's a messy ass situation and we will have to get messy with it in some manner like that.

At this point I just gotta keep wittling the fat away til we can get to that final 5.

And so the recurring headache of OPS1 pounds on.

Honestly, Mitch seems SO nice, but he's so hardcore into the game that I can't believe that deep down he's not a player, so I'm a player, so I'll say fully and truthfully, I have had enough of him lol. Sorry Mitch. Honestly, coming across like Bill or Jess or Tiff, is like the three phases of the strength of speech and persistance, and all are so tolerable and well executed, but convos with Mitch...Idk. "BROTHER" "WE GOTTA DO IT BROTHER!" "I'm HERE for you BRO." "WE gotta make it all the way BROTHER!"

Please..stop, lmfao.

I think he should go next round. I keep telling him to just keep it LOW KEY! He's gonna stir things counter-productively for me, honestly, I know it if he talks too much. I don't want to be connected to his craziness one bit. I hope Pete and Bill just think they have Jess. I hope they just vote Mitch out with me, and then this game I think will have fallen into my hands officially.

Honestly, with Mitch, Tiffani, Jess, and Myself, at Final 6 I would say I have it that anyone can go and I would guarentee myself the numbers, so I can't push Mitch too uncomfortably hard and lose a number that will end up staying. I want Mitch to go though. His antics will only become more tiresome at 5, and he honestly won't lay over like Tiff would or Jess when things go sour. He'll make CERTAIN things are good for him. That's why he is a good player on one side, but then again those girls know how to make a contact and not annoy the hell out of them, so can't give Mitch more credit than those nice gals lol.

Michael L. I think is best for now though. Immunity threat for sure, and I think he may get this one here, lol. Maybe Mitch or someone else will be a shock this round instead. Hope it ain't me.
