Round 7 - The mess continues

[benjimcfly]

Let's put it this way:

Jake is running this game and everyone believes him. I know I sound like a bitter Betty, but I really do champion him for playing the best game. I guess I am mostly frustrated that no one is playing their own game and that Jake is playing everyone.

Evidence

April - Literally does whatever Jake wants her to do. 
Logan - tried to tell Jake he wanted to vote David with his allies (Jake/April). Jake convinced him to vote with the "other side" (aka: Jenn F, Ashley, David), so he could infiltrate the other side of the alliance FOR Jake. Logan tried to push back, but eventually gave in. 
Ashley - was lied to by Jake. Jake voted out her #1 ally. Jake apologized in about 50 messages to Ashley and convinced her that he is 100% with her. Girl has NO ONE ELSE, so she is planning to trust Jake. 
Sean - Sean let Jake take this round over, however, he did get Jenn C to play her advantage. He did a bad job lying to Ashley/David and voted with the majority. 
Jeff - is in the DC Gays Alliance with Jake. Celebrated the successful dupe they pulled over David. Greeted Jake this morning has "Hey #1"
Jenn C - Girl is an ally and against everyone, so this is a moot point, but she seems to really like Jake. 
Jenn F - Girl has no alliance and will with with anyone (the exact opposite of Jenn C, lmao). She talks and plans best with Jake. I think she is the wisest to Jake's deceit, but she has no other options but to work with him. And Jake is pushing her name the hardest, because, of course. 
Brian - I don't know where Brian's head is at. Currently, I honestly think he enjoys (looking at) Jake and is happy with Jake telling him how to vote. 
Duke - Dude started playing 24 hours ago. Jake "saved" him, so he is indebted to him. Both he and Jake insist they are #1's with each other. 

For the record, Jake has told the following people he is tightest with them

Ashley
Jenn F
Logan
April
Jeff
Brian
Duke

Saying all of that, Jake is clearly playing the best game. There are three scenarios:
1) He makes it to the end and gets burned for promising the world to everyone.
2) He makes it to the end and people respect his game (this should be a front runner, but his promises could become an issue).
3) Jenn F will try to show everyone that he is burning them all, then someone else will say the exact thing two rounds later and taking credit for recognizing this. Then they take him out. 

Pick to Win:

Not Jake, because I don't see him riding out these promises to the end.

The Messy Merge

There was NO PLAN all day yesterday until the last hour or so when one side (David, Ashley, Jenn F and Jenn C) decided to vote out Duke and Jake decided to vote out David. Jake got his way, again. 


Thoughts below in no specific order.

Jake: Benji already said all there was to say about Jake. He's running the game and it will either catch up to him or he'll be in the final 3 winning.  

April & Logan: Nothing to see here. They are extensions of Jake's game. They are safe as long as Jake wants them to be safe. Jake told everyone yesterday like 5 times, "April will vote however I vote." Unfortunately, he is not wrong and she is the best goat for him to take to the end. 

Ashley: She is in a pretty tight spot, but she is not giving up. She keeps searching for the idol and is now looking for a new number one. It should be interesting to see where she settles. If she can make it to the final 3 she will have a good story to tell. I also don't think she will be a target any time soon with both Jennifer's and Sean still in the game. 

Brian: Everyone seems to like Brian, except Logan and Jenn F, mainly because he doesnt talk to them. However, Logan can't do anything without Jake's blessing and Jenn F. has bigger fish to fry. Brian needs to reassess his game and realize that everyone is in good with Jake, not just him. If he does realize this, I don't think he would have any qualms with cutting Jake, but not sure he will wake up to this. He's neglecting his social game with the people he is not allied with and it will cost him the jury votes if he gets to the end. Re: the idol clue, he finally is on the right track, but since he's a newbie, he doesn't know how idols are hidden, so its pretty much staring him in the face, he just can't see it. A vet would have deciphered the clue a while ago - I think he needs to share the clue to get some help here. 

Jenn C: the Angelina of the season. She is playing messy and hard, but no way anyone votes for her in the end. Everyone is gunning for her soon, but WHY?? She's not going to win, keep her around as a distraction. 

Jenn F: She is constantly in trouble, and will continue to be, but will be able to keep escaping, especially now that she is making connections with Ashley and Jeff. If she really doesn't care who she sits next to in the end, then she won't take the shot at Jake and might be able to get his target off her back. 

Duke: WHO? Final 3 because why not...    

Jeff: He knew about the David vote and still voted on the other side of Jake and Brian. He knew he had to vote with David, it's called jury management, and made sure he still was good with Ashley. He also got on a call with Jenn F after tribal and it seems like they hit it off. I'm hoping he'll gravitate to the Ashley/Jenn F side and take out Jake sooner than later. 

Sean: This guy is such a good schemer. Both Jake and Brian tried to get Jenn C to play her advantage, but it was Sean who got it done. She didn't even need to play it but he convinced her she just HAD to. I was on that call and it was very impressive. He's playing a similar game to Jake, just more subtle and under the radar. His biggest mistake this round was calling Jenn F a few minutes before tribal and telling her he was voting David, this was real sketchy in Jenn F.'s eyes, so he might be in trouble. He wants to target Brian next, not sure why...
