Well this game is currently going swimmingly well for me!! After saying that Rubes and I didn't want Gustavo holding on to the idol, we were able to convince him to play the idol on yours truly, sparing me from receiving votes yet again and helping us avoid another rock draw :') which now leaves us in the majority which is obviously perfect for my game.
Gustavo, TJ, Rubes and I all know how bitter this jury is going to be towards us. I honestly feel like if Crypt, Vincent or Ozzy make it to the end, they have the game in the bag. Which is pretty great for me, considering my alliance only has four people in it, ensuring that the four of us will hopefully make final four. And even if TJ and Gustavo decide to flip on Rubes and I, they know that neither of us have an idol, and I am almost certain that in that scenario Rubes is targeted first over me.
Which is also why I feel like I have positioned myself perfectly for the end game. I want to go to the end with TJ and Gustavo. I feel like the two of them have played very similar games that it would be hard for the jury to distinguish the difference between the two of them. Meanwhile, if I'm sitting next to them, I have the story of being on a losing tribe premerge, playing two idols, getting my ally to play an idol on me and hopefully other moves that are yet to appear. I don't really think I've made any super flashy moves or anything that I accomplished all by myself, but I don't think that in this season that not making huge moves is a necessarily bad thing. Now, the one thing that could hurt me is that I haven't spoken to the jury members like Zach and Pietro and probably Crypt as much as I would have liked. But yet again, I feel like this season was so divided that it was never a necessity to talk to them. And hey, it ended up working for me as I'm still in in a great position while they're on the jury.
Obviously, the one issue in my path to victory is Rubes. However, I think I have to be risky and take him far with me. I really don't see a world in which he turns on me. But I think that's because he knows that he can beat me in the end. And I'm totally fine with using Rubes as a meat shield. It just pains me that I'll have to ruin his game so close to the end, but I came here to win. But, I am thinking of some ways that I can turn down the emotional damage that my heart will take. I've been feeding TJ and Gustavo messages of doubt toward Rubes and how we have no chance at beating him. So I'm thinking, maybe in the final 5, I can have TJ, Gustavo and the other person vote out Rubes, while I vote with Rubes for whoever. That way, I'm not voting out Rubes and can live with myself LOL but this would also ensure that TJ/Gustavo would bring me to the end as the other person would win on a jury, and I could use it as a defining move in my game for orchestrating while not totally being involved.
But yes, I have talked end game with both Gustavo and TJ. I honestly think the two of them want to bring me too. I keep playing up that I'm dumb and ditzy and out of touch to try and distract from what I've done in the game. But yes, I have final twos with both TJ and Gustavo and like I said, I think going against them is my best bet. Plus, it doesn't help that the two of them are totally messing up their games right now. Like did Gustavo really need to lead Vincent to a fake hidden immunity idol?? Of course not. And I will be sure to let Vincent know that Gustavo did this should my plans go in place.
Anyways, this was a lot about my end game plans. I just get super obsessive and into analyzing at the final 7ish, it's quite a problem LOL anyways, shortly about this vote, I think we're going to do Ozzy. He seems most connected to the members of the jury, he fooled us all last vote with his fake tarot card, and just doesn't seem to communicate with us too much. Which is fine with me. I don't see Ozzy wanting to work with me, so if he needs to go, go he shall.
Also, I did watch American Honey last night. 4/5 stars. May watch Dallas Buyers Club tonight but my brother is hogging Netflix. First world problems.
