On the last episode, the Cobra and Mamba tribes merged into Piranha with Cobra being out numbered 3-7. Hoping to reunite with the original Macaw members, Alan and Morris tested the waters. One found them very cold and Alan was the first voted out of the new tribe.
Piranha
Emma confesses…
Not much has happened since the last Immunity challenge, other than Alan being extremely bitter and picking fights with Ricky, which was quite funny to say the least.
I don’t feel like it’s crucial for me to win immunity at this point in the game, but I really should get better at the challenges if I want to stick around later in the game. Tonight’s challenge seems to be completely about luck, so maybe that’ll be more up my ally then the ones about things I’ve never heard of before haha.
Our plan of getting Alan out worked the way we hoped it would, and Jack seems to be next. Hopefully he doesn’t win immunity tonight, since that would probably cause a little bit of conflict in the former Mamba. Morris seems to kinda close to some of the members, seeing how he was informed of the plan about voting out Alan. I’m hoping Mamba can stick together for a few more days, since it means security.
I haven’t talked strategy/alliances with anyone since the merge about what happens once all the members of Cobra are gone. A few days into the Mamba tribes, I made an alliance with Luke, Ricky and Jenn, but I have no idea if that’s still the case. I know that my own opinions on several of the tribe members have changed, and I can only assume theirs have too. Our plan was originally to take out Matt at our first tribal, but after getting to know him a bit more, he’s one of the people I’d like to keep around for a bit longer. I should probably talk to Ricky and Luke and see what their plans are about the rest of the game sometime. Jenn is actually the person I speak with the least, which is kinda ironic I guess. So I should probably get to know her a little better too.
Jenn confesses…
Alan was just voted out last night, and it feels great. I had immunity which was awesome. That was the safest I've ever felt in this whole game. Hopefully people won't think of me as a threat though. It was an extremely close challenge in which anyone could have won, so I don't think my head is on the chopping block yet. Right now, it seems like the plan is to just make sure that Jack does not win immunity, and then go after him with the votes. I have an awful suspicion that Morris has the hidden immunity idol. Maybe I'll try to force a plan in which Morris receives the votes at tribal council and then Jack receives the second highest. I don't think Jack has it at all. But time will tell. Oh yes it will.
Jenn and MattG…
Jenn: I just saw that we made the jury. final 9!
MattG: haha, well for you it was a no doubter Ms. Immunity
MattG: but congrats all the same...glad to see the vote went as planned
Jenn: lol thanks... yeah, I was glad to see it went as planned too, although I thought Jack would get a few more votes.
Jenn: But as long as the intended person goes, its all good
MattG: yeah, the only reason he didnt is because Ricky told Emma to change her vote for some reason
MattG: which makes me wonder what exactly he is thinking
Jenn: Hm, that's odd. He was really paranoid about this past vote.
Jenn: And did we figure out how Jack and Alan knew what was going to happen. Was it really Morris who spilled the beans?
MattG: no it wasnt morris...I still have a feeling it was just ricky gloating about how Alan was gonna go....thats just a personal feeling though
MattG: morris sent me a conversation he had with alan about how Alan wouldnt tell HIM who spilled the beans
Jenn: sigh, you're probably right. Ricky goes a bit overboard sometimes
Jenn: And we're still gunning for Jack next?
MattG: yes, that is the plan...you can go ahead and win immunity again, I wont mind
Jenn: as long as its google related, I'll stand a fighting chance
Jenn: We've got the immunity heavy hitters on our side, so I'm sure the right person will win it
MattG: ah well as long as it's not Jack, thats all i care about
Jenn: yeah exactly!
Luke confesses…
Last night Alan was voted out. Today we start the final stretch of the game ... Jury time.
Did my self vote last night really do any harm? No. No one suspects Morris or anyone else of doing it. They all think it was Jack or Alan. But we'll see how paranoia sets in. Once it comes down to us eight I hope to render some votes on my side because of it.
Who knows what the next few days hold. There are too many people in our alliance of eight ... it's really tricky. Have no idea what's going on in the tribe.
I want to confirm my alliance of 4, and want to see if anyone else thinks Matt and Ricky are on a power trip. I know Matt is getting paranoid of Ricky, which is good.
Patience, then my time will come.
Luke and MattG…
Luke: we made jury *yay*
MattG: ya indeed, glad the vote went down as planned...obviously whoever "squealed" had no effect
Luke: did that mess get sorted out?
MattG: well, nobody knows who told alan...but the votes were still the same
MattG: you got a vote...but it was either alan or jack
Luke: ya i noticed
MattG: but who cares....ricky worries me a little...he got Emma to change her vote for some reason to alan
MattG: no idea why
Luke: ricky + emma = tight
MattG: yeah i know they are...I dont know how sold the rest of the tribe is with keeping him around once jack is gone
Luke: u want morris around instead, right?
Luke: u can be honest, cuz if your honest with me i can tell you my honest opinions on it too
MattG: to be honest, I dont care...whatever gets me through...Morris i trust, especially now that we're voting out the rest of his tribe...he's with us....Ricky on the otherhand...just concerns me a bit
MattG: he's paranoid
Luke: iuno, the one thing that scares me, is that you/mag/laurie like morris. enough to want to keep him around. it scares me, lets say ricky goes 8th (hypothetically), im scared you 4 would have a F4 deal
Luke: thats just how i view it, from the outside ya know
MattG: oh and it's understandable
MattG: but honestly...as you could see from our voting out of Alan
MattG: Macaw is not THAT tight
MattG: and we DO NOT have an F4 deal
MattG: the only person I've even heard flinging the "Alliance" word around is Ricky
MattG: I just want to play the game
Luke: who flings it to anyone that breaths in the tribe
MattG: yes, exactly...thats what scares me is that he's try to use Jack as leverage
Luke: he's need 3 other votes to have a majority of 5
MattG: and he aint gonna find them with me
Luke: he has emma, at least i think he does
Luke: and jenn, i think
Luke: i could be wrong though
MattG: I dont think jenn is with him....whenever i talk to her anyways she seems to like the idea of Alan then jack
Luke: she likes the idea, but i can see her going with ricky
MattG: yeah....I just hope Mag, Laurie or Morris doesent go over that way...or you for that matter
MattG: myself...theres no way I'd align with ricky
Luke: i can't lie, i'd vote with him if it helped me. like, in my position, i have no loyalty to morris. we've never talked, and he's showed he's with us ... but theres just something fishy there
MattG: yeah...I mean, i dont talk to him a lot either so i dont know what his deal is
MattG: heres the thing though, is that because the game moves so fast...NOBODY has planned things out
Luke: I KNOW
Luke: it really is just kinda like ... "here's what we're doing"
Luke: so the whole "alan/jack" was just too convienant
Luke: to be honest, i'd prefer jack to stay over morris. everyone is againt jack, for whatever reason, but i just met him come merge. and he's talked to me so much more then morris
Luke: which makes me think... i really dont see him OR alan voting me
Luke: so something is up somewhere ... i just can't place it exactly
MattG: well you can run the idea by the group...but something tells me it wont be very popular
Luke: oh i know it wont
MattG: quite a few people dont like jack at all
Luke: which is why i prolly will keep my mouth shut
Luke: like it doesnt bother me at all if jack goes next
Luke: just my personal opinino, i got nothing against him
MattG: oh i dont either...but the likes of Laurie and Jenn certainly arent fond
Luke: i know, but that makes me wonder about laurie, cuz she's never talked to him either. unless they knew each other before the game, which is entirely possible
Luke: iuno, i guess im just hella concerned about when just us 8 are left
MattG: well for good reason, so am I lol...it's gonna take 5 people to make anything happen and I dont think anyone has 4 people they are close enough with
Luke: like i wouldnt mind morris staying, i just dont wanna see an amber situation, where he could run with the game. i'd rather see a mamba win if i cant win, ya know
Luke: *nods* exactly
MattG: well i think the place Morris will come in is as that swing vote once we get to 8...and what worries me is him and ricky have talked
MattG: but then again so have ricky and jack
MattG: and ricky and everyone really
Luke: i think he has the idol
MattG: it wouldnt surprise me in the least
Luke: like, he talks about it the most. he accuses people the most. he's online the most
MattG: but something tells me it's a person who isnt saying a damn word about it, like Mag or Jenn or Emma
Luke: true
Luke: it really could be anyone
MattG: yeah, and as the numbers get lower...it'll just get worse
Luke: lol, oh the paranoia
MattG: ya huh...or...morris said...how messed up woudld it be if NO ONE had an idol
MattG: if it was just there to mess with us
Luke: fack i'd be pisssssssed
MattG: so would I
MattG: I think everyone would be...which leads me to believe there is one
Luke: iuno, i think things would be easier if the F7 were us mambas
Luke: i dont know, like ... i guess its just morris
Luke: it scares me everyone accepted him so fast, like, something has to be there
MattG: how do you mean?
MattG: that he's aligned with someone?
Luke: iuno ... when we merge 7-3, and we plan to stick together anyways, why do we need an 8th
Luke: im worried ppl grabbed him cuz they either need him @ 8 or 7 or somewhere down the road
MattG: the 8th let us split the vote
Luke: fair enough ... but like even before that plan was announced i always heard good things about him
MattG: oh he's a good guy..which is probably why he wants to associate with alan and jack as little as possible
MattG: I mean...if you merged 7-3
MattG: wouldnt you try and get in with the big group too?
Luke: i'd be doing the same as him
MattG: so, as far as I'm concerned it doesent change anything
MattG: unless someone like ricky tries to get his vote to try something sneaky
Luke: i think ricky would have to know for damn sure he has people on his side
Luke: lets assume jenn will follow him, as im 99% sure emma will
Luke: then its morris/ricky/emma/jenn
Luke: they very well could get jack this round
MattG: well if thats the case I'd hope you'd stick with the rest of the Mamba
MattG: a tie vote would certainly make things interesting
Luke: my ideal F7 would be the mambas
Luke: but im saying, it might not even matter what i do, if morris/jack/ricky/emma/jenn have a 5 mjority this round
MattG: well then we'd both be pretty screwed
MattG: ricky is gonna try and get votes wherever he can
Luke: which is why i think he'd still be for a F7 of mambas
Luke: its just ...easier at this point in time
MattG: well I've never said no to that
MattG: I think we'd all be fine with a Mamba F7
MattG: I thought that was the plan
Luke: its my plan
Luke: but then, it gets me thinking, what do we do @ 7?
Luke: maybe im just too paranoid
Luke: (i DO want that 7 though, dont get me wrong)
MattG: well, it's not paranoia to be prepared
MattG: I mean, the only way to make a move right now is to get a group of 5 and assure F5
MattG: cant do much more
Luke: should we maybe do that then?
MattG: oh I'm all for that
Luke: who would u want in it
MattG: well it's tough to say right now....Laurie and Mag are too smart NOT to have a plan...I figure they are probably going to stick together...as are Ricky and Emma
MattG: but I dunno how comfortable I'd be on a side with Ricky
MattG: he just flip flops all the time
MattG: his mind is never made up
Luke: agreed
MattG: I know Laurie likes you
Luke: i really like laurie
Luke: mag, im kinda iffy about, mostly cuz i rarely ever talk to her
MattG: yeah, but no one ever does really
MattG: but, I mean, if I can get You, Myself, Laurie and Mag together somehow...we'd need just 1 more to get to F5....
MattG: depending on how the 2 girls feel about it
Luke: i think if we sprung the idea to ricky NEXT round, when 8 of us are left, he'd agree for at least that round. then, when we get to 7, regardless if he swaps or not aslong as us 4 are together
MattG: yeah thats true....we should talk to Laurie about a plan...because obviously a lot hinges on what she thinks
MattG: but I'm sure she's smart enough to realize she needs some sort of aliance
Luke: indeed
Luke: lol, thats how it is with this game though ... if kinda ust talk to one person and hope everyone is doing what that one person is saying
MattG: yeah exactly...this game is so much more trust than real survivor....
Luke: indeed
Luke: i was paranoid about today ... i had to study, hen go to work, then go to a study group i knew iw oudlnt be online all day
Luke: kinda thought i'd be voted otu when i got back, lol
MattG: haha, naw never. I was very relieved to see the plan was stuck to though
MattG: at least roughly
Luke: cant lie the voting was messed up
MattG: but it was ricky's fault really
MattG: he told emma to vote alan
MattG: and I still have no idea why
Luke: maybe as a sign of good intentinos to jack ricky got emma to not vote jack
MattG: yeah hence what worries me, and what makes me believe we need to get a band of 5 together on a "just in case" basis
MattG: to make sure we vote for jack
Luke: i think jack will go this round regardless
Luke: i dont think ricky would have enough ppl online at the right time
Luke: to get a something like jack being saved pulled off
Luke: like if he just told me 'vote ____ and not jack, we got the votes'
Luke: id be like "i need to hear everyone say they're voting ____ & not jack"
MattG: yeah true enough...all the same I'd prefer if that didnt happen
Luke: like i said the only person id vote out over jack is morris
Luke: anyone of the 7 mambas wont get my vote until theres us 7 left
MattG: which is a good thing I think, I have no problem with that
Luke: *nods* just where my heads at i suppose
MattG: well, I think it's a safe idea for sure
MattG: well we should talk to Laurie and/or Mag ASAP and try to figure something out I think
MattG: because sooner rather than later people are going to get scrambly
Luke: i agree
Luke: sounds like a good plan
MattG: I think thats the smart thing to do
Luke confesses…
Me and Matt talked. He's still for a Mamba Final 7, he confirmed no Morris alliance, and he confirmed he's still very paranoid about Ricky. I was quite happy he told me all this. It gives me hope.
Ideally, I want Morris gone this round. I know he's a huge threat, so I'm subtley targetting him. I'm afraid he might have Individual Immunity though, so I need to make damn sure he doesn't vote me for me even if I can get a majority against him.
Odds are Jack will go this round, but it'd be fun if Morris went.
Anyways, Matt wants Mag and Laurie and I go to be Final Four. So if Mamba is the Final 7, I have a choice ... Luke/Ricky/Emma/Jenn or Luke/Matt/Mag/Laurie.
Since I can't stand choice, i better make sure it isn't a Mamba Final 7. I'd be screwed if I had to make that choice. So we'll see what I can mix up this round and next.

MattG: yeah hence what worries me, and what makes me believe we need to get a band of 5 together on a "just in case" basis
MattG: to make sure we vote for jack
Luke: i think jack will go this round regardless
Luke: i dont think ricky would have enough ppl online at the right time
Luke: to get a something like jack being saved pulled off
Luke: like if he just told me 'vote ____ and not jack, we got the votes'
Luke: id be like "i need to hear everyone say they're voting ____ & not jack"
MattG: yeah true enough...all the same I'd prefer if that didnt happen
Luke: like i said the only person id vote out over jack is morris
Luke: anyone of the 7 mambas wont get my vote until theres us 7 left
MattG: which is a good thing I think, I have no problem with that
Luke: *nods* just where my heads at i suppose
MattG: well, I think it's a safe idea for sure
MattG: well we should talk to Laurie and/or Mag ASAP and try to figure something out I think
MattG: because sooner rather than later people are going to get scrambly
Luke: i agree
Luke: sounds like a good plan
MattG: I think thats the smart thing to do
Luke confesses…
Me and Matt talked. He's still for a Mamba Final 7, he confirmed no Morris alliance, and he confirmed he's still very paranoid about Ricky. I was quite happy he told me all this. It gives me hope.
Ideally, I want Morris gone this round. I know he's a huge threat, so I'm subtley targetting him. I'm afraid he might have Individual Immunity though, so I need to make damn sure he doesn't vote me for me even if I can get a majority against him.
Odds are Jack will go this round, but it'd be fun if Morris went.
Anyways, Matt wants Mag and Laurie and I go to be Final Four. So if Mamba is the Final 7, I have a choice ... Luke/Ricky/Emma/Jenn or Luke/Matt/Mag/Laurie.
Since I can't stand choice, i better make sure it isn't a Mamba Final 7. I'd be screwed if I had to make that choice. So we'll see what I can mix up this round and next.
