Okay Jake, now look in the mirror and say this to yourself three times:
"Don't be messy post-swap like last time."

Well this round has been a MESS mainly because it's just been everyone sizing each other up. For my strategy, I've been taking a page from the old DC politics handbook, and that is making something sound scary, even though you aren't quite sure that thing is actually happening. For this reason, it's been important to communicate (to those that want to talk game) two things: - I'm a huge target, both now and moving forward; and,
- I'm worried about David, Jenn, and others combining together and taking us all out, with me being at the top of their hit list.
I figure by keeping the strategy conversations here, versus who I want to target NEXT, people feel like they're making a game connection without me having to make a solid commitment. I'm definitely going to have to loop in Jenn about this when we merge, although I honestly think it might be true that Jenn and David start working together (maybe to my benefit, most likely not).
That said, Lamont seems like he wants to work with me and April, and I also get good vibes from Sean. Ideally, April and I will find ourselves sandwiched in the middle of this tribe, but need to be careful about turning into targets ourselves. Everyone else is a bit of a wildcard, in my opinion.
A possible direction for this game to go in is David/Ashley/Amber forming a dynamic group going into merge. Who would be in this group? How close is the original Drago? Is Jenn going to flip and join them? And what happens if/when Sean and Brian link back up with Jennifer and Duke? All of these questions are way too difficult to assess, but it would be ideal to keep the two groups fighting each other and us riding the middle, if that is at all possible.

Such! A! Mess! But what a twist. My goodness gracious. I literally don't even know where to start so I guess let me just lay it all out in separate points like I usually do: 1) I have a fucking idol. And bitch, you better believe I'm playing it! I mean, maybe my game was good enough in the beginning that Jenn and Logan are going to advocate against voting me or April, but also remember this is the exact point in my last season where my game went down the shitter. Not taking any chances here. Besides, I potentially have yet another idol in my back pocket via April. But Lord, Brian came through! I seriously thought he was going to be a wild card, but turns out he is a Godsend. I am very grateful, and I do plan to work with him moving forward. 2) I have more intel than I know what to do with. Sure, people can be lying. But at this point I know: - April has an idol
- Sean has a vote steal
- Jennifer has an extra vote
- Brian has an extra vote (my old one, by the way. I needed to show him I am devoted to the cause)
- Amber/David/Ashley have 1 - 3 powers between them.
3) Jeff, come on. It's so obvious you're working with David. I mean I appreciate you being straight forward, and perhaps Drago was planning to move forward as a unit much more than Lamont led me to believe they were. Whatevs, not worth my energy. For now... 4) Thank you...Jordan? Jordan was so messy that he may have incidentally delivered me Palma on a silver platter. Not only does Brian now want to go to the end with me, but Sean is implying working with me as well (of course, I was like "yeah, me, April and the rest of you". OF COURSE I know at this point Brian is more in my back pocket than his). 5) And the next person to leave is...Lamont? Hard to predict, but Lamont seems to be the decision that the other tribe can make with the fewest people fretting over it. Sometimes that's what it comes down to. If our plan actually works, then it may be bye-bye to Ashley (or our backup Amber? God we are so stupid for narrowing it down to two white girls with similar sounding names). Lord, I sure hope April won't be a bystander in what is likely to be a mess, but in the rare chance that she is, you know I'm gonna make sure she has me hold on to her idol...just in case.
Y'all bitches drag me, drag meeeeee. Come on, do it. I'll trash you in my replies after the season.
