Round 12

Chat with Cam
Cam (12:47:09 AM): hey hey
Brant (12:47:22 AM): Hey!
Brant (12:47:44 AM): You see TC results?
Cam (12:47:48 AM): yeah
Cam (12:48:11 AM): now to figure out if it was kenya or bryan that voted sadie
Brant (12:48:34 AM): I think it was Kenya since she was all close to Deet.
Cam (12:48:58 AM): she might just come out and say it later
Cam (12:49:03 AM): like tell us how she voted
Brant (12:49:48 AM): Yeah. Sadie also voted for you, but I swear that I didn't influence that.
Cam (12:49:59 AM): oh i know
Cam (12:50:09 AM): we've talked about it (me and sadie)
Cam (12:50:31 AM): she voted me because she heard i had no past votes and when she asked me about the vote for this round, i changed the subject
Brant (12:51:00 AM): Oh, gotcha. Glad you two have worked it out. She really wants to stay next round
Cam (12:51:07 AM): so, from that, she figured she was a goner since no one was talking to her about the vote
Brant (12:51:07 AM): which means we need to win that challenge and hopefully work together again
Brant (12:51:10 AM): and ALL vote together
Cam (12:51:14 AM): yes i know lol
Cam (12:51:28 AM): and we have my idol to play with
Brant (12:52:05 AM): Oh yeah
Brant (12:52:19 AM): If you lose the challenge, we could all pretend we're going to blindside you and you could play it
Brant (12:52:26 AM): ...or something
Cam (12:52:30 AM): lmao
Cam (12:52:31 AM): perhaps
Brant (12:52:34 AM): I forgot about that tonight, lol
Brant (12:52:41 AM): We
Brant (12:52:46 AM): will have to see how Bryan does
Brant (12:52:49 AM): with the glass elevator :-\
Cam (12:52:52 AM): oh yeah
Brant (12:53:16 AM): Sadie was just trying to track his post count to see if he posted a lot today
Brant (12:53:17 AM): lol
Brant (12:53:22 AM): He didn't.
Brant (12:53:28 AM): But his challenge could have been anything.
Brant (12:53:39 AM): And naturally, she's scrambling with her life to survive.
Cam (12:53:54 AM): yeah she told me about watching his count too
Brant (12:54:53 AM): The good thing is she still wants to primarily target him next round.
Brant (12:55:04 AM): So he'll likely be the alternate target if we can take Sadie out
Cam (12:56:08 AM): think you meant can't, but i gotcha
Brant (12:56:25 AM): I think it makes sense either way
Brant (12:56:26 AM): lol
Brant (12:56:43 AM): Like maybe it'll be 4-1 with Sadie getting 4 and him getting the other 1
Brant (12:56:59 AM): Or if Sadie wins, then he's the alternate primary target.
Brant (12:57:03 AM): Yay for multi-valent statements.
Cam (12:57:26 AM): lol
Cam (12:57:35 AM): i'm confused, but i think i know what you're saying
Brant (12:57:56 AM): Late nights are not good for me, and I've had too many lately.
Brant (12:57:57 AM): lol
Cam (12:58:03 AM): hehe
Brant (1:07:52 AM): Sorry, was disconnected
Cam (1:07:58 AM): me too
Cam (1:07:59 AM): strange
Brant (1:08:11 AM): Ooh, maybe it wasn't my internet's fault then
Cam (1:08:24 AM): yeah no clue
Brant (1:09:26 AM): But yeah, I think we were talking about Sadie being good next since she's all scrambling and then Bryan.
Brant (1:09:29 AM): And I'm good with that
Brant (1:09:39 AM): Or we could vary it if you wanted, we have a few days to decide.
Cam (1:09:49 AM): sadie next would be safest
Cam (1:09:49 AM): yeah
Brant (1:11:45 AM): I think I keep getting cut off or something, so I'm just going to get off.
Brant (1:11:53 AM): But I'll ttyl
Brant (1:12:10 AM): Enjoy your night and the day off

Chat with Sadie
Sadie (12:04:21 AM): Hey
Brant (12:04:25 AM): Hey!
Sadie (12:04:32 AM): Well we got a divided TC
Brant (12:04:52 AM): Yeah, I was one of the ones who voted Deetster.
Brant (12:04:55 AM): Just so you know.
Sadie (12:04:58 AM): Thanks
Brant (12:05:11 AM): Congrats on surviving, though!
Sadie (12:05:20 AM): Thanks, I am honestly surprised
Sadie (12:05:32 AM): I expected Deet to have something in the works to get me out over him
Brant (12:05:50 AM): Well, he tried earlier to target you.
Sadie (12:05:56 AM): Understandably
Brant (12:06:05 AM): And I didn't want to tell you he was the target...
Brant (12:06:13 AM): because I didn't want Deetster to find out that I was voting for him.
Brant (12:06:17 AM): And scramble.
Sadie (12:06:22 AM): Well, it was pretty obvious that it was me or deet
Brant (12:06:34 AM): Hence my vague messages and avoidance of the subject.
Brant (12:06:42 AM): Yeah, but you honestly can never tell in these games.
Brant (12:06:51 AM): I don't think Deetster expected that though.
Sadie (12:07:12 AM): Lol I thought it was me because of your vague messages and avoidance of the subject
Brant (12:07:35 AM): I wanted you to think it was you, as horrible as that sounds, so Deetster wouldn't be caught off guard.
Brant (12:07:37 AM): :-\
Sadie (12:08:03 AM): Lol thanks, I guess
Brant (12:08:03 AM): I wasn't 100% sure where votes would go or if he'd vote for me so I wanted him to think I was voting for you with him.
Sadie (12:08:16 AM): do you know else other than Deet voted for me?
Brant (12:08:35 AM): I'm assuming you voted Cam, right?
Sadie (12:08:41 AM): yeah
Sadie (12:08:59 AM): i wanted to give him at least one past vote...figured it could help you down the line if I was gonna be voted out
Brant (12:09:27 AM): Aw, thank you. I think it was likely Kenya that voted for you.
Sadie (12:10:01 AM): I can see that
Brant (12:11:13 AM): You are the last original Hornswoggler member.
Brant (12:11:43 AM): Which I'm saying as an accomplishment as I doubt I'll be the last original Snozzwanger.
Sadie (12:11:52 AM): You could be
Brant (12:13:09 AM): Who knows, anything could happen.
Brant (12:13:20 AM): I mean, anything could've happened on Bryan's glass elevator trip.
Sadie (12:13:24 AM): True
Sadie (12:13:48 AM): Who out of Kenya, Cam, and Bryan could you and I pair up with to have a block of 3 at the next TC?
Brant (12:14:36 AM): I think immunity would have to dictate about 90% of that decision.
Sadie (12:14:47 AM): Ok, well, be thinking about it!
Brant (12:14:50 AM): But in all likelihood, Cam would win it.
Sadie (12:14:54 AM): of course
Brant (12:15:32 AM): The fact that the tribe didn't even vote together this vote could be something you might be able to take advantage of.
Sadie (12:15:51 AM): True...if Kenya voted against the norm, she could be a target for next time
Brant (12:16:21 AM): Yeah, I'm not sure what was going on with her but she's seemed a little dazed lately without a lot of specific strategy talk.
Brant (12:16:42 AM): Lots of one word responses and no further elaboration.
Brant (12:17:09 AM): And thus for this vote, it was really hard to tell what she'd do.
Sadie (12:17:36 AM): It would make sense if she did vote for me over Deet to go
Sadie (12:17:46 AM): She and Deet had something
Sadie (12:17:50 AM): i dunno what, but something
Brant (12:18:10 AM): Yeah, I knew Deetster was close to some Hornswoggler.
Brant (12:18:20 AM): Considering he was the one who came up with the idea for Cory to go, from what I saw.
Brant (12:18:42 AM): Er, some Snozzwanger.
Sadie (12:18:56 AM): I dunno if it was Deet wanting Cory to go...or Deet just not wanting him to go
Brant (12:19:09 AM): He was just doing what it took to survive.
Brant (12:19:48 AM): I'm not 100% sure in his logic, but I believe he was more confident in his Snozzwanger allies than he should have been and thought he'd get further by doing that.
Sadie (12:20:01 AM): I dunno
Brant (12:20:18 AM): Everyone's being blindsided at the votes. That's a little scary.
Sadie (12:20:30 AM): It is good for me though
Sadie (12:20:37 AM): I need division if I am gonna stay
Brant (12:20:53 AM): The cast gives the impression of being really honest, trustworthy players but I think most would backstab to save themselves in a heartbeat.
Sadie (12:21:02 AM): True
Brant (12:21:10 AM): Yeah, division is your best bet.
Sadie (12:21:13 AM): Well I am a loyal player
Sadie (12:21:25 AM): I could have voted Deet, but I didn't
Sadie (12:21:35 AM): and now that Deet is out, you are my only hope lol
Sadie (12:21:40 AM): so you can best believe I would be loyal to you
Brant (12:22:19 AM): I believe you. Certainly winning the challenge is your absolute best bet.
Sadie (12:22:27 AM): Of course
Sadie (12:22:34 AM): except everyone else will want me to lose lol
Brant (12:22:56 AM): More than likely, but the next challenge isn't until Thursday night.
Brant (12:23:07 AM): So much can change in that short period of time.
Sadie (12:23:22 AM): Not when 40% of the tribe is rarely online!
Brant (12:23:42 AM): Yeah. Trying to arrange something with Bryan would be nearly impossible.
Sadie (12:23:54 AM): Exactly
Brant (12:23:59 AM): And you have to get Kenya at the right time.
Brant (12:25:01 AM): Cam on the other hand is around more than me, and I'm online often.
Sadie (12:25:01 AM): yup
Sadie (12:25:05 AM): lol yeah
Brant (12:25:24 AM): Well his screen name's there. He's not always there.
Sadie (12:25:46 AM): But yeah, I would take you all the way to final 2 (assuming I even last that long)
Sadie (12:25:53 AM): Would anyone else in the game do that?
Brant (12:26:02 AM): More than likely, not.
Brant (12:26:15 AM): Bryan is the ideal final 2 candidate, I'm betting, for most people at this point.
Sadie (12:26:27 AM): True
Brant (12:26:34 AM): If he formed a final 2 alliance with someone earlier in the game, they're probably loving the opportunity to stay loyal to it.
Sadie (12:26:41 AM): I would rather see 2 hard core players in final 2 personally
Brant (12:27:02 AM): Oh yeah, I'd be half-tempted to vote for him over the person who took him if that's the case.
Brant (12:27:14 AM): I want to see deserving players fight it out also.
Sadie (12:27:49 AM): Maybe we could play Cam and Kenya to vote out Bryan
Brant (12:28:08 AM): They very well might.
Sadie (12:28:16 AM): argh but Bryan may have a stupid glass elevator thing
Brant (12:28:27 AM): This tribal council would have been different had Bryan not won the challenge
Brant (12:28:32 AM): I'm relatively sure.
Brant (12:28:38 AM): But not 100% positive
Sadie (12:28:49 AM): Yeah
Brant (12:28:53 AM): He would have at least been the alternate target if not sent home.
Brant (12:30:30 AM): The one thing about Bryan is, in order to win the prize, he needs to have completed the glass elevator challenge.
Brant (12:30:42 AM): Assuming he even picked a non-empty room.
Sadie (12:30:44 AM): Yeah
Sadie (12:30:53 AM): Did his post count go up drastically at all?
Brant (12:31:13 AM): I don't think so.
Brant (12:31:24 AM): I did log 60 posts for Ben when he went.
Brant (12:31:35 AM): Which is why I figured he got what I had first.
Sadie (12:31:38 AM): Yeah
Brant (12:31:50 AM): ...not that I'm monitoring people
Brant (12:31:50 AM): lol
Brant (12:31:58 AM): I just happened to notice he had 60 for the day
Brant (12:32:04 AM): And that caught my eye
Sadie (12:32:05 AM): lol
Sadie (12:32:16 AM): how do you tell how many posts someone has in a day?
Brant (12:32:35 AM): There are options on the board
Brant (12:32:46 AM): And you can play with them to change the time zones and so forth
Sadie (12:32:48 AM): what? why was not I informed?
Brant (12:32:56 AM): Amd get certain posts made in custom time intervals
Brant (12:32:57 AM): lol
Brant (12:33:04 AM): *and
Sadie (12:33:10 AM): dang
Brant (12:33:27 AM): Maybe that's just because I'm crazy and go through every profile option and preference when I join a game site
Sadie (12:33:42 AM): haha
Brant (12:33:47 AM): And I've never done the "forumotion" system before
Sadie (12:33:51 AM): so by doing that, Bryan doesnt have a lot of posts?
Sadie (12:34:01 AM): Well you are also a computer programming guy so it would make sense that you would do that!
Brant (12:34:29 AM): Haha yeah, maybe. I was going to do program something fun with the site too once but decided against it.
Brant (12:34:36 AM): Bryan didn't have anything noticeable.
Brant (12:34:55 AM): I think he had like 6 or 7 for the day, a lot in the games sites and 1 or 2 hidden
Brant (12:35:17 AM): Which could easily have been votes or confessional entries or something.
Sadie (12:35:35 AM): Well that is good news
Brant (12:35:41 AM): I bet he has a ridiculous confessional.
Brant (12:35:44 AM): Like 30 posts a round.
Brant (12:35:58 AM): (i'm kidding)
Sadie (12:36:05 AM): haha
Brant (12:36:12 AM): But yeah, it's hard to tell what his challenge was, but if it was posting, he had an epic fail.
Sadie (12:36:15 AM): I've been bad about my confessional
Brant (12:36:26 AM): I've faltered since merge.
Brant (12:36:37 AM): Too many people to talk to in order to post conversations and organize it well.
Brant (12:36:51 AM): Before that, it was perfect. Now it's paranoid mumbo-jumbo.
Sadie (12:36:57 AM): hahaha
Sadie (12:37:00 AM): mine is just non existent
Brant (12:37:09 AM): Aww, you won't be an episode star :-(
Sadie (12:37:23 AM): I am a star inside!!!
Sadie (12:37:29 AM): And doug might not write episodes
Brant (12:37:29 AM): And that's what matters
Sadie (12:37:37 AM): But yeah lol i had 14 posts like the first couple of days
Sadie (12:37:41 AM): and it has dwindled since then
Brant (12:37:56 AM): I do round-by-roound posts
Brant (12:38:06 AM): And stick conversations in the rounds that they occur.
Sadie (12:38:07 AM): I do posts as the mood strikes me
Sadie (12:38:15 AM): you are a host's dream
Brant (12:38:23 AM): Haha yeah, I've had like 400+ posts before
Brant (12:38:28 AM): in confessionals for games
Brant (12:38:37 AM): When most of the cast had like 5-20.
Sadie (12:38:50 AM): Wow
Sadie (12:39:08 AM): I'm so gonna read it once this game is archived and be like "OMG Brant how dare you!"
Brant (12:39:24 AM): "I just talked to Sadie. She must go soon!"
Brant (12:39:42 AM): I have 200 now but the candy challenge alters that perception a little.
Sadie (1:00:30 AM): I have had zero final 2 deals in this game
Sadie (1:00:37 AM): and zero formal alliances lol
Brant (1:00:51 AM): I've had 6 final 2 alliances (only 2 with people left) and 4 alliances.
Brant (1:00:58 AM): jk
Sadie (1:00:59 AM): in this game?
Brant (1:00:59 AM): lol
Sadie (1:01:04 AM): hahaha i was gonna say
Sadie (1:01:11 AM): thats a lie!
Brant (1:01:13 AM): And then I start listing round-by-round my alliances
Brant (1:01:20 AM): haha
Sadie (1:01:21 AM): because you would never reveal that much to me if it was true
Brant (1:01:33 AM): Right
Brant (1:01:35 AM): So maybe it is.
Brant (1:01:36 AM): :-P
Sadie (1:01:39 AM): Nope
Sadie (1:01:49 AM): I have a seventh sense for these things
Brant (1:01:55 AM): 7th sense
Sadie (1:02:00 AM): yes
Brant (1:02:02 AM): Never heard that one before
Brant (1:02:04 AM): rofl
Sadie (1:02:09 AM): it comes after the sixth
Brant (1:02:13 AM): What is your 6th sense?
Sadie (1:02:23 AM): Seeing unicorns!!!
Brant (1:02:24 AM): Unicorn-vision?
Brant (1:02:25 AM): rofl
Sadie (1:02:27 AM): much more fun than dead poeople
Sadie (1:02:33 AM): hahahaha wow you get major points for getting that!
Brant (1:02:45 AM): haha
Brant (1:02:52 AM): my 8th sense told me that.
Sadie (1:03:04 AM): nice
Sadie (1:13:10 AM): ok well i hope you and the other billions of people have a good night sleep
Sadie (1:13:44 AM): ttyl
Brant (1:14:07 AM): I always feel sad missing the chance to say goodbye, but I'll ttyl through an offline message :-P

Thoughts
Bryan has past-votes, and now Cam has a past-vote thanks to Sadie. I'm past-vote free! Yippee! Maybe I do have a shot at still winning this thing after all.

I've been taking care of non-game stuff the past two days, but I'm ready to get back into this now with the challenge tonight. Looking at this round and ahead, I feel like I have about as equally likely of an opportunity to place anywhere from 1st to 5th.

Winning the game? I know what kind of approach I'd take and feel like it's possible that I could win against anyone, but you can never be completely sure. So winning or finishing second are equally likely. If I make final 3, I feel like I have a great shot at winning the challenge or going to the final two anyway depending on who is there to take me, but nothing's guaranteed, and Cam or Sadie could easily beat me in the challenge. Bryan and Kenya haven't shown a lot, but if their life is on the line, they could also. Finishing 4th? Absolutely! If Cam wins immunity assuming Sadie's voted out this round, then bam. It's me, Bryan, or Kenya going home and hard to tell who will side with who.

Now this round, the main goal needs to be preventing Sadie from winning the challenge. If she wins, she'll have immunity. Cam already has his idol. Bryan may have an idol and I don't know if it is even possible to vote out Kenya. So I could very realistically go home and would need Sadie and either Cam or Kenya to try to vote out Bryan with me. Unless I could get Bryan or Cam to join me and Sadie to vote for Kenya, but I don't foresee that. Anyway, Sadie absolutely cannot win this challenge. I really need to win it and the next challenges, which is probably going to be what hurts me in final tribal council if I make it...because my strategy was so dependent upon winning challenges to make it to the end if I get there. So in one sense, if I don't win it and survive, it will look better for my game. However, I still want to win the challenges so I don't have to risk that. This is the point in games where I try to step it up in the challenges because it's too late to vote out challenge threats if they're immune.

Sadie really wants to win this challenge and is scrambling, so I need to watch my back. Because even though I really enjoy talking to her and like her, I don't trust her at all. She'll do what it takes to survive and I've already caught her lying to me. I don't want her to be the catalyst of my demise. I need immunity; she can't win it.

I NEED to win this challenge. So naturally I'll probably do horrible.

Assuming I didn't mess up, I should win this challenge. I have 6 hours of 72 points, so should have 432 points assuming I didn't mess up anywhere. If I did mess up, either Cam or Sadie will win. I fear the worst if Sadie won, but hopefully I didn't mess up. Then I'll be final 4 with no past-votes and in great position to go further, but you still never know what could end up happening.

So Sadie should go home here because I don't think anyone from Snozzwanger will want to do anything differently. It wouldn't be right for me to turn on my original tribal alliance for Sadie unless someone else did. At final four, anything goes, and I'm not sure if I'll vote out Bryan or Cam if I have the choice. So I'd ideally like Sadie with me in final 4, but I think that's impossible for me to do and morally justify it in a way that I could still win the game.

Hopefully I win and didn't mess up the challenge. I'm done posting and have such a huge lead that unless someone posts for a couple of straight hours and gets close to me (in which case I'd start posting again), I should have it clinched.

I won, so I'm final four. Sadie will be voted out here, so that's good.

At this point, I have a decent shot at making finals but it's not as good as I'd like it to be. Kenya has to be the favorite to make it to the finals because anyone would take her, but she probably would take Bryan if she had the chance. Therefore, winning immunity at final 3 would be my best chance of making finals and if Cam won immunity next round, I'd probably be a target.

I don't want to have to depend on certain immunity results to make it far, so I'm going to approach Cam again about our original final 2 alliance and maybe re-warn him about Bryan and Kenya. I want Bryan out 4th; he doesn't deserve to make it much further. Cam should also vote with me (I hope!) assuming that Bryan doesn't win immunity plus Bryan has past-votes. I don't feel like going against Bryan would be wrong at all as I'm only connected to him through Kenya, have hardly talked to him, and never specifically said to him anything about final 3 or final 2. So I should be able to vote him out and have that morally justifiable since Kenya did the same thing to Pete. She'll be mad, but I'm playing this game for myself --- NOT for her and Bryan to go to the finals together. Granted if I tell this to Cam and he realizes those two people are tight, then it could result in me going home if Kenya learns the truth. Still, I think it's a worthwhile risk approaching Cam considering the best alternative is to do depend on winning immunity and hope for the best. Maybe now I'll go higher in Cam's priorities for making finals.

So, I'll risk it. Finishing 4th is fine (I do in half my games), and the time is over for comfort. It's time to make a move to win this game or go out trying.

Chat with Bryan
Brant (8:21:04 PM): Hey
Bryan (8:21:20 PM): hey brant!
Brant (8:21:28 PM): You busy with a challenge?
Brant (8:21:30 PM): lol
Bryan (8:21:45 PM): nope
Brant (8:21:52 PM): Yay! What's up?
Bryan (8:22:19 PM): nothin just chillin about to go make hot pockets mmmmm
Brant (8:22:31 PM): lol, yum
Bryan (8:22:47 PM): how are you doin?
Brant (8:23:11 PM): Good, just relaxing. I've been busy lately.
Bryan (8:23:31 PM): oh wow nice job on immunity
Brant (8:23:55 PM): Thanks! I'm glad no one tried too hard yesterday afternoon
Bryan (8:24:18 PM): haha every time i tried i messed up cause of skype
Brant (8:24:58 PM): lol, yeah, the 1-minute posts sucked.
Brant (8:25:11 PM): I thought Sadie would try harder, but she had plans or something
Brant (8:25:25 PM): And Cam has that immunity idol and doesn't need it
Bryan (8:25:57 PM): i was afraid sadie would win it too
Brant (8:26:24 PM): It would have sucked for our group. At least we don't have to deal with that now.
Brant (8:26:37 PM): I like Sadie, but I'm ready to send her home.
Bryan (8:26:41 PM): yeah i'm glad :-)
Brant (8:27:02 PM): Any luck with your last glass elevator trip?
Bryan (8:27:29 PM): yup i got it yay!
Brant (8:27:35 PM): Yay! Congrats!
Brant (8:27:45 PM): Whatever it was lol
Bryan (8:27:59 PM): it gives me 2 votes at this tc
Bryan (8:28:06 PM): cause it's the only one i can use it at
Brant (8:28:34 PM): Ah, nice. I guess this is when they all expire
Brant (8:28:49 PM): Besides mine which was earlier than all of yours
Brant (8:28:50 PM): lol
Bryan (8:28:58 PM): lol
Brant (8:29:39 PM): Was that it for the glass elevator? Or were there still other rooms?
Bryan (8:29:52 PM): it was the last thing
Brant (8:31:52 PM): Cool, then this can play out naturally at final 4 and beyond
Brant (8:32:03 PM): Without crazy idols popping up and that kind of thing
Bryan (8:32:12 PM): yup! i wonder what's gonna happen at final 4
Brant (8:32:58 PM): Yeah, it's hard to tell. I think Kenya wants to take out Cam. Which I guess I'm good with, even though he's played a great game.
Brant (8:33:39 PM): Even though I won that last challenge, I still think Cam's the bigger threat anyway. He just didn't need to win the last one.
Bryan (8:33:41 PM): yeah she's been sucking up to jury members too
Bryan (8:33:59 PM): and cam is def the bigger challenge threat
Brant (8:34:27 PM): Yeah, I think she's counting on Deetster's vote lol
Bryan (8:34:49 PM): yup for sure
Brant (8:35:26 PM): But as far as Cory, Pete, and the other people she blindsided. It's hard to tell what they'll think
Brant (8:35:29 PM): if she makes finals
Brant (8:35:49 PM): I don't even have a final two alliance right now, so I'm not completely sure what will happen.
Bryan (8:36:12 PM): i don't either
Brant (8:38:26 PM): Yeah. it's strange to be at this point without definite end-game plans. And really odd if we don't have them with anyone, so Kenya must not either if she plans on voting out Cam next.
Bryan (8:39:09 PM): she asked me once but i don't wanna go to finals with her lol
Brant (8:40:06 PM): She's just avoided the topic with me, lol.
Brant (8:40:19 PM): We'll probably just end up fighting for our lives in the final challenge anyway
Bryan (8:40:42 PM): lol yeah
Brant (8:41:14 PM): And I'm fine with that. It's the most fair way to let things play out. Final 4 is just really good since it's our original alliance. :-)
Bryan (8:42:18 PM): yeah and since it almost got broken up at the switch
Brant (8:44:48 PM): Yep. Glad we all came back together in the end

Thoughts
Well, that's interesting. Hmm. Hard to tell if he's lying or not.

Chat with Kenya
Brant (4:18:38 PM): Hey.
Kenya (4:19:40 PM): hey!
Brant (4:21:16 PM): How are you doing?
Kenya (4:21:22 PM): i'm alright
Kenya (4:21:25 PM): got a wii the other day!
Brant (4:21:44 PM): Yay, I like Wii's. Don't have one though.
Brant (4:21:52 PM): Have you played it much?
Kenya (4:23:05 PM): going to the movies soon :-)
Brant (4:23:12 PM): Awesome
Kenya (4:24:00 PM): toy story 3 in 3d
Brant (4:24:15 PM): Cool, have you seen it yet? I heard it was really good.
Kenya (4:25:48 PM): nope that's why I'm going to see it LOL
Brant (4:28:06 PM): lol, I figured. I mean people just sometimes go to movies again and again and again..
Brant (4:28:34 PM): I liked the first movie, can't really remember the 2nd one.
Kenya (4:29:01 PM): lol
Kenya (4:29:07 PM): I don't do that
Kenya (4:29:11 PM): I would have with how to train your dragon though
Kenya (4:29:15 PM): that was my first 3d movie
Kenya (4:29:18 PM): and omg I loved it so much
Kenya (4:29:26 PM): and like it was only playing one time that day
Kenya (4:29:30 PM): or me and my friend woudl have went to it again
Kenya (4:29:34 PM): like back to back like that
Kenya (4:29:35 PM): LOL
Kenya (4:29:39 PM): it was just that good
Kenya (4:29:47 PM): oh and I voted sadie a bit ago lol
Brant (4:31:53 PM): I haven't seen any movies in 3D. I don't think many theaters around here offer it, lol.
Brant (4:32:03 PM): And yeah, I voted for Sadie...yesterday night I think?
Kenya (4:32:51 PM): goood
Kenya (4:33:05 PM): so close to our final 4
Kenya (4:33:11 PM): then we have to win to keep it from cam LOL
Brant (4:33:29 PM): Yeah, that's going to be a huge challenge. I think we can beat him combined though. He's hardly even been on lately.
Brant (4:33:36 PM): I haven't talked to him for a couple days
Kenya (4:33:47 PM): well I'll be around when challenge is posted today
Kenya (4:33:55 PM): I'll just tell my boyfriend play the wii
Kenya (4:33:57 PM): he won't complain
Brant (4:34:00 PM): lol
Kenya (4:34:03 PM): he played for like 2 hours yesterday LOL
Brant (4:34:11 PM): Nice. By himself?
Kenya (4:34:20 PM): yeah I only have one remote right now
Brant (4:34:31 PM): Ahh, I see. I wish we knew if the challenge was live or not. I'll be here to post though regardless
Kenya (4:34:41 PM): me too
Kenya (4:34:59 PM): we'll let me win if we have a choice right? :-PO
Kenya (4:35:03 PM): I need a turn! lol
Kenya (4:35:11 PM): I only won one immunity.. and that was the one deet threw to me LOL
Brant (4:35:13 PM): lol, you're the person who hasn't won yet
Brant (4:35:16 PM): Oh yeah!
Brant (4:35:21 PM): Forgot you won it that round
Kenya (4:35:26 PM): yes
Kenya (4:35:27 PM): I made sure
Kenya (4:35:33 PM): so I could make the alliances that me and cam needed
Kenya (4:35:36 PM): I did a lot of shit that round LOL
Kenya (4:35:42 PM): but it started with making sure I won immunity first
Kenya (4:35:50 PM): I even had it so cory would throw it to me LOL!
Brant (4:35:56 PM): rofl, nice
Brant (4:36:04 PM): That was a good round not to have work
Kenya (4:36:06 PM): like I worked my magic hard that round
Brant (4:36:20 PM): Yeah, you did really well
Kenya (4:36:35 PM): :-)
Kenya (4:36:59 PM): ugh I hope cam doesn't win immunity this coming round..
Brant (4:37:12 PM): Yeah, I don't want us to have to turn on each other
Brant (4:37:22 PM): But I won't vote for you if that happens
Kenya (4:37:28 PM): same
Kenya (4:37:37 PM): I think if anything we'd have to vote out bryan
Brant (4:37:44 PM): I talk to Bryan like once a round, often by PM.
Kenya (4:37:53 PM): but not because we want to vote him out
Kenya (4:37:57 PM): but because of cam winning lol
Brant (4:38:02 PM): Yep. :-\
Brant (4:38:07 PM): Oh yeah, I talked to Bryan yesterday
Brant (4:38:12 PM): He got a glass elevator prize
Kenya (4:38:19 PM): what is it?
Brant (4:38:25 PM): He has 2 votes this TC
Brant (4:38:28 PM): lol
Kenya (4:38:30 PM): lol
Brant (4:38:32 PM): Not like that means anything helpful
Brant (4:38:34 PM): it expires now
Kenya (4:38:38 PM): yep
Kenya (4:38:52 PM): okay well I gotta head to the movie, I'll talk to you when I get home.. which is like in an hour and a half or so lol
Kenya (4:39:04 PM): byeee :-P
Brant (4:39:06 PM): Cool, I'll be around, may disappear for a few minutes. ttyl!
Brant (4:39:23 PM): Enjoy the movie

Thoughts
I don't completely trust Kenya. I'd rather the challenge not be tonight because I'm busy, but I should at least be online for the start. There's currently a tree down on the road in front of my house, so I'm not going anywhere in the imminent future.

Chat with Cam
Cam (5:06:11 PM): hey
Brant (5:06:34 PM): Hey, how's it going?
Cam (5:06:45 PM): great thanks, you?
Brant (5:07:22 PM): Pretty good. Just getting some stuff done so I can do the challenge tonight. It's only a few hours away.
Brant (5:07:30 PM): No clue if it's live though or what...
Brant (5:12:07 PM): Have you heard anything about the vote?
Cam (5:12:24 PM): yeah i was wondering if it was live too
Cam (5:12:44 PM): for the vote i'm assuming everyone's voting sadie
Brant (5:13:01 PM): Yeah, I was thinking that too. I haven't heard anything differently.
Cam (5:13:07 PM): me either
Brant (5:13:11 PM): I talked to Bryan for a few minutes last night
Brant (5:13:23 PM): He found something in the Glass Elevator
Cam (5:13:40 PM): oh did he?
Cam (5:13:46 PM): did he say what it was at all?
Brant (5:13:54 PM): Yeah, he said he got a 2nd vote and it expires this TC
Cam (5:14:29 PM): ah
Cam (5:14:29 PM): well that's useless lol
Cam (5:14:32 PM): then again so is my idol
Cam (5:14:33 PM): basically
Brant (5:14:42 PM): I figure he's voting Sadie with it but he didn't explicitly say anything before he had to go...make hot pockets or something
Cam (5:14:56 PM): oh haha
Brant (5:15:06 PM): lol, yeah, well my Panic Pop was sure useful :-P
Cam (5:15:11 PM): rofl
Brant (5:15:23 PM): It seems like only Kyle's prize prolonged his life
Brant (5:15:36 PM): But none of them really changed the game significantly
Cam (5:15:42 PM): yeah that's true
Brant (5:16:08 PM): I think the 2 of us have the advantage this next challenge for sure.
Cam (5:16:21 PM): oh for sure
Brant (5:16:26 PM): And then I'd like to hope that Bryan will be voted out.
Cam (5:16:36 PM): pretty sure that's what's gonna happen
Cam (5:16:44 PM): even in a tie between bryan and whoever, he'd go
Cam (5:16:54 PM): but my guess is kenya wants him out
Cam (5:16:56 PM): as well
Brant (5:17:06 PM): Yeah, that's perfect assuming he doesn't do something crazy with Sadie and his extra vote
Brant (5:17:13 PM): But I don't see that happening if he wants to stay next round, lol
Cam (5:17:19 PM): yeah, agreed
Brant (5:17:38 PM): I'll definitely vote for him, assuming he's not immune. So we've got 2/4 there and can do it.
Brant (5:17:52 PM): Kenya might be tricky..I think she's closer to him than she's letting on.
Brant (5:18:00 PM): But we can do it.
Brant (5:19:00 PM): And considering I haven't brought up final 2 to anyone besides you at this point, you're the person who I'd take at final 2 if I won the final 3 challenge.
Cam (5:19:19 PM): likewise
Cam (5:19:30 PM): i've wanted to go to final 2 with you since basically the beginning of the game
Brant (5:19:34 PM): Over Kenya for sure. And Bryan will hopefully be gone, because he does not deserve to go there if this game wants a good finish.
Cam (5:19:45 PM): agreed again lol
Brant (5:20:02 PM): I could honestly see the jury vote for him to win over the person who took him
Cam (5:20:18 PM): that could happen for sure
Brant (5:20:19 PM): And yeah, you're the person I've been able to talk to multiple times a round and work together with in the challenges.
Cam (5:20:36 PM): yeppers, we're hardcore
Brant (5:20:52 PM): I feel like Kenya has this sense that she's going to be there in the end.
Cam (5:21:24 PM): i get that feeling too, but then i remember that she can't win challenges
Cam (5:21:29 PM): and won't make F2 lol
Brant (5:22:17 PM): Yeah, I think she's assuming her bonds with all of us are enough for us to bring her to the final two if we get to that point.
Brant (5:22:23 PM): But challenges, we've done much better.
Brant (5:22:40 PM): I could legitly see Bryan being a huge threat if he comes online on time and tries, but hopefully he doesn't.
Brant (5:22:45 PM): If it's live
Cam (5:22:49 PM): right
Cam (5:23:01 PM): yeah he was around for a good bit of the gran prix challenge
Cam (5:23:05 PM): so he definitely has the ability
Brant (5:24:00 PM): Yep
Cam (5:24:05 PM): brb
Brant (5:24:09 PM): alright

Thoughts
I honestly don't trust anyone in the final 4 (assuming Sadie goes) except myself. I definitely think Cam's lying to me about wanting me final 2 since the beginning, Kenya's lying to me about prioritizing me over Bryan, and Bryan's lying to me about turning down Kenya's final 2 alliance. Challenge win I need. Hopefully this is the trivia challenge because I should be good to win it in theory.
