Episode #9 - One Idol Left

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

WOOOOOOOO! I am so pumped! haha.
That plan worked out EXACTLY how I had planned it .
And Silly Vartevar was wanting to change the plan.
I am the only person left in the game with an idol. Amanda is the only person who knows, and I trust she will not tell anyone. I don't want anyone to know I have it except her.
Now I dont have to worry about being fucked over by someone using an idol
I think Alex is the next target.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Wow I save Alex by turning down Vartevar's plan to vote him out, and he ends up treating me like shit anyway lol. I did it because I felt he deserved to be here longer than Bleeker. But whatever, he will be next to go. At least I saved him 3 days

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Ahhh!! this pairing up thing is scary. I am going to be playing to win of course. No fucking around. The worst scenario would be if 2 pairs were going to TC ant it was Me/Robbie, and Alex/LaFrance. I would definitely play my idol if that was the case. If it is just 1 team going to tribal council, and we lost, that would be scary lol. I know I have numbers over him, but I'm not going to be naive and say I cant be voted out. If 3 teams were selected to go to TC, and 1 pair + Teagan were immune, I would feel more comfortable than if it was just me and Robbie on the chopping block. I would feel MOST comfortable if me and Robbie were immune lol

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

This is where I am going to have to keep my composure. I have a hard time not starting drama. I already got into a fight with Alex, and I need to tone it down. I am making myself a target for no reason. It is so hard for me to hold back, because it really isnt in my blood.
I get excited really easy, and sometimes get cocky. Hopefully I can keep telling myself to stay chill.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Ok I know I was going to have Teagan and Amanda be the ones I would sway to my side, but I give up on Teagan. She clearly doesnt have her heart in this game. She doesnt even deserve to be here anymore. I am going to work on Mel. I already had a conversation with her on Facebook. I tried not to say too much that could be used against me. Hopefully she can keep it to herself.

Taylor

Have u been thinking about the late game in this merge at all? Or are u just going with the flow?

15:48Melanie

I have just been going with the flow I tend to overthink things and get paranoid if I think too much lol

15:48Taylor

Yeah

15:49Melanie

I hate these 24 hour challenges

15:49Taylor

You dont ever feel like you are just being used to get someone to where they want to be? Cuz sometimes the only way to ensure yourself finals is to do something about it

15:49Melanie

who's using me?

15:50Taylor

I was just asking if u ever feel that way


It's easy to assume someone will take you to the end, but most of the time it doesnt end that way =\

15:50Melanie

oh lol I always feel that way but I am trying to believe that people are being honest with me

nobody has told me they want to take me to the very end though

15:51Taylor

Alright cool

15:52Melanie

I havent really even talked to most people which makes me feel a bit nervous and robbie and alex only came to me when they thought they were going and then that was it I hate when people do that

15:53Taylor

Yeah for sure

Puts pressure on you

It's just that

It's good to make sure yourself that you are in a good position when it is late game

15:54Taylor

To assume that you will be kept around longer than the people is a little naive. And I feel that I need someone who I can trust to stick with me

than the people around u*

15:56Melanie

I understand that and I only trust a few people (you being one) I hope you feel you can trust me too

15:56Taylor

Ok

I am trying to be subtle about everything

15:57Melanie

lol well maybe you should just be frank I dont always understand subtle ness haha

15:57Taylor

But I think it would be better if we took fate into our own hands when it gets later in this game, instead of just going with the flow and hoping we arent the next to go

15:57Melanie

what do you have in mind?

15:59Taylor

Just sticking together. Strategizing together. And ensuring that neither of us 2 gets votedo ut

16:00Melanie

I like that

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Well I am hoping this wasnt too early, but I took it further with Mel. It IS getting later in the game, and I just like to make sure I am safe. This was our conversation.

[e-mail] (11:13:24 PM): Do you think you would trust me with information from things I ask u about the game?
[e-mail] (11:13:35 PM): If I promised 100% that I wouldnt tell anyone?
"Mel" (11:13:51 PM): I dont know much about the game
[e-mail] (11:14:39 PM): haha
[e-mail] (11:14:41 PM): Well
[e-mail] (11:14:51 PM): I know there are people you are really close with
[e-mail] (11:14:56 PM): But you are playing to win right?
[e-mail] (11:15:01 PM): Or are u not worried abotu it?
"Mel" (11:15:16 PM): I am only close to 2 people and one of them is you
"Mel" (11:15:25 PM): I am playing to get as far as I can
"Mel" (11:15:36 PM): if that means winning so be it lol
[e-mail] (11:15:43 PM): Well
[e-mail] (11:15:59 PM): We can keep the convo between us though right?
"Mel" (11:16:09 PM): of course
[e-mail] (11:16:14 PM): I hate it when I chat with people in hopes of working together
[e-mail] (11:16:21 PM): And having them use it against me
[e-mail] (11:16:25 PM): happens all the time
"Mel" (11:16:43 PM): I wont use anything against you
"Mel" (11:16:55 PM): I can keep a secret
[e-mail] (11:17:09 PM): Well if you are going to win
[e-mail] (11:17:17 PM): You need to think about who you are up againt right?
[e-mail] (11:17:20 PM): against*
[e-mail] (11:17:30 PM): Some people have a better shot with the jury
"Mel" (11:18:00 PM): yes but the problem for me is I dont really know many people and I only really talk to a few and thats it
[e-mail] (11:18:08 PM): I understand
[e-mail] (11:18:12 PM): The thing is
[e-mail] (11:18:14 PM): I can get u far
"Mel" (11:18:16 PM): so I dont know who is better with the jury
[e-mail] (11:18:21 PM): and can promise you AT LEAST final 3
"Mel" (11:18:38 PM): who is the third?
[e-mail] (11:19:04 PM): Well is there anyone you know you couldnt win against in the finals?
"Mel" (11:19:47 PM): no I have no idea really I think there are a couple making people angry for some reason
"Mel" (11:20:21 PM): but I dont know the reason
"Mel" (11:20:37 PM): well I do for the one but not for the other lol
[e-mail] (11:21:03 PM): oh ok
[e-mail] (11:22:44 PM): I dunno how to discuss this with you then lol
"Mel" (11:22:57 PM): just be frank
[e-mail] (11:23:10 PM): If you honestly have no clue who you would want to be going against
[e-mail] (11:23:20 PM): and who u know would demolish you in the finals
[e-mail] (11:23:32 PM): They only thing you can go by is who you like as a friend
[e-mail] (11:23:39 PM): And that will go against all plans
[e-mail] (11:27:13 PM): Sorry, did u write anything?
"Mel" (11:27:25 PM): I said I would like to go far with you
[e-mail] (11:28:07 PM): I know
"Mel" (11:28:21 PM): who do you think the target is going ot be this week?
"Mel" (11:28:27 PM): *to
[e-mail] (11:28:29 PM): Robbie
[e-mail] (11:28:48 PM): The only people to vote are Me, Vartevar, Jamie, Robbie
"Mel" (11:29:02 PM): the immune people dont get to vote?
[e-mail] (11:29:11 PM): Yeah they do
"Mel" (11:29:22 PM): oh I get it duh lol
[e-mail] (11:29:23 PM): I mean the only people to vote against
"Mel" (11:29:43 PM): how do you know that another team had allready completed?
[e-mail] (11:30:37 PM): because it shows the total posts on the board
"Mel" (11:30:53 PM): oh i didnt notice that
"Mel" (11:32:00 PM): I am so not very observant I need to pay better attention haha
[e-mail] (11:33:26 PM): lol
[e-mail] (11:34:12 PM): Well this is what Vartevar had planned
[e-mail] (11:34:17 PM): for final 5
[e-mail] (11:34:26 PM): Taylor, Vartevar, Mel, Amanda, Jamie
[e-mail] (11:34:37 PM): This is where I think we need to look out for each other
[e-mail] (11:34:48 PM): and we need a 3 person majority
"Mel" (11:35:09 PM): well i think we will have that with vartevar dont you?
[e-mail] (11:35:19 PM): =\
[e-mail] (11:35:25 PM): I figured that's what u would think
[e-mail] (11:35:27 PM): and want
"Mel" (11:35:30 PM): who are oyu thinking?
"Mel" (11:35:33 PM): you
[e-mail] (11:35:40 PM): You need to think about finals
[e-mail] (11:35:44 PM): Do you think you would win
[e-mail] (11:35:52 PM): If you were in the finals with me and vartevar?
[e-mail] (11:36:17 PM): Think about the people who would be on the jury
[e-mail] (11:36:20 PM): and who they would vote for
"Mel" (11:36:25 PM): no probably not but people seem to not like him havce you seen his karma
[e-mail] (11:37:00 PM): lol
[e-mail] (11:37:04 PM): karma doesnt mean anything
[e-mail] (11:37:10 PM): it could be 1 person doing it
[e-mail] (11:37:13 PM): or it could be alumni
"Mel" (11:37:22 PM): oh I never thought of that lol
"Mel" (11:37:30 PM): someone keeps smiting me
"Mel" (11:38:01 PM): so who do you think is better to be our third person majority?
[e-mail] (11:39:30 PM): Well I know more to this
[e-mail] (11:39:36 PM): I know who is closest with who and all that
[e-mail] (11:40:03 PM): And in order for you to make final 3
[e-mail] (11:40:10 PM): I am thinking You, Me, Amanda
[e-mail] (11:40:27 PM): But if you dont agree, just tell me instead using it against me and telling the others
"Mel" (11:41:12 PM): I wont tell anyone I think it sounds good she seems pretty nice. Now I want to know who's close to who lol
[e-mail] (11:41:38 PM): Well the way it was supposed to be planned
[e-mail] (11:41:55 PM): And please I know I say this all the time, but this information is for the benefit of both of us
[e-mail] (11:41:59 PM): I am looking out for us both
[e-mail] (11:42:08 PM): You were supposed to be 5th place
"Mel" (11:42:22 PM): well 5th place sucks I dont want fifth
[e-mail] (11:43:06 PM): He said he wanted the final 3 to be me, him, Jamie
"Mel" (11:44:00 PM): well then I like your plan better but we have to keep it quiet so I wont say anything at all and I wont act any different when I talk to him
[e-mail] (11:44:06 PM): here look
[e-mail] (11:44:08 PM): s11.photobucket.com/albums/a193/TaylorStreet/?action=view¤t=ArabiaVartevarF3Copy.jpg
[e-mail] (11:44:17 PM): But
[e-mail] (11:44:28 PM): Even if he is being serious about me being in the final 3 with him
[e-mail] (11:44:34 PM): He would beat anyone in the finals hands down
[e-mail] (11:44:45 PM): the majority of the merge is his friends
[e-mail] (11:45:19 PM): Plus he is a target, and the fact he managed to get that far being a target
[e-mail] (11:45:25 PM): might even make his enemies vote for him
"Mel" (11:46:06 PM): well thanks for showing me that I am definetly in
[e-mail] (11:46:24 PM): The reason I want Amanda to be the third
[e-mail] (11:46:30 PM): Is because I know she is down lol
[e-mail] (11:46:35 PM): I could tell she was worried about V
[e-mail] (11:46:45 PM): If us 3 stick together, we are in great shape
"Mel" (11:47:28 PM): I think so too and at least she has made an efforst to talk to me teagan hasnt talked to me at all and jamie only said hi a couple of times and that was about it
"Mel" (11:47:41 PM): my spelling is terrible tonight
[e-mail] (11:48:36 PM): Yeah I didnt even consider working with Teagan
[e-mail] (11:48:49 PM): She just doesnt have her heart in this game
[e-mail] (11:48:53 PM): she self voted last TC
"Mel" (11:49:33 PM): well I think me you and amanda is a relly good allaince we have to try to keep winning immunities
[e-mail] (11:49:40 PM): yeah definitely
[e-mail] (11:49:45 PM): I had to lose this one though
[e-mail] (11:49:51 PM): To keep our alliance in tact
"Mel" (11:50:26 PM): well I am off now I am going to bed now I am very sleepy
[e-mail] (11:50:33 PM): alrighty
[e-mail] (11:50:39 PM): You should write a confessional
[e-mail] (11:50:43 PM): about our awsome alliance
"Mel" (11:50:53 PM): lol ok but not tonight haha
[e-mail] (11:50:56 PM): lol k
[e-mail] (11:51:07 PM): I am serious about this alliance, so dont screw me over
"Mel" (11:51:37 PM): Dont worry I am excited for it now you dont screw me over either
[e-mail] (11:51:44 PM): haha I wouldnt do that
[e-mail] (11:51:47 PM): We need each other
"Mel" (11:51:56 PM): allright night

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

It is official.
I have a 3 person alliance consisting of Me, Amanda, and Melanie. That is my final 3

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Well Robbie finally made an attempt to finish the challenge.
Last night he wasnt in a good mood and refused to do it. I was actually happy he didnt want to do it, because Alex and LaFrance already won immunity, and Robbie was the only one left outide my alliance. But then he tells me that Mel and Amanda made errors in theirs so he decides to work on it. I'm like.. SHIT!. So I find Mel on Facebook and make her look through it. She thinks she fixed everything though.
As Robbie does his part, I notice him making mistakes. He uses 1 running photo that I used.. and then in the last half of the challenge, he keeps using the shovel back to back. I felt so bad but I couldnt tell him anything. He is a nice guy n all, but this is a game. For my plans to work in this game, I need to lose this challenge, and he needs to be voted out =\
I'm sorry Robbie

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

WOW!!!!! This is a scary Tribal Council. I did NOT expect this at all. Only Amanda, Melanie, Teagan, Alex, LaFrance are the only 5 voting.
Me, Vartevar, Jamie, Robbie are vulnerable. But 2 people are being voted out. 1 person from each group of 2 which was chosen before the challenge. Meaning..

Either me or Robbie will be voted out
And either Vartevar or Jamie will be voted out.

I am SOO happy I made that 3 person alliance with Amanda and Melanie not too long ago. I did it at the perfect time haha.
Mel and Amanda will vote against Robbie. Alex and LaFrance will vote against Me. I am mostly worried about Teagan. I believe she will vote against Robbie, but I can't be certain. I will try talking with her a bunch tonight.
I have my idol, but I dont know if I want to play it. I will definitely be considering it, but I might not use it yet.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

I just need to talk with Teagan, and I need to be able to trust her.
I REALLY do not want to use my idol yet. I have plans with it later. Trust is VERY important in Survivor, and acting off of paranoia isn't always a good thing. Paranoia is what fucked Bud up. Well... one of the things that fucked him up at least. I just need to work my magic with Teagan, and keep her feeling comfortable with me. I trust she will keep me.
I'm not saying I wont use my idol
But I'm not saying I will either.
It all depends on how my conversation with Teagan goes. I hope it goes well

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

I finally had a chat with Teagan. It hit 3:00am, and I was like... well Teagan usually gets on Facebook around this time. I opened up my laptop, and within a minute of logging into Facebook, Teagan signs in

Teagan
heyyy

03:01Taylor
hey

03:02Teagan
sorry I didn't reply last night.. I fell asleep lol

03:02Taylor
It's ok
I actually just opened up my laptop
to see if u were on

03:02Teagan
lol

03:03Taylor
hehe
Did u get my message I sent u?

03:03Teagan
so your worried?
yeah I just did
*cuddles*

03:03Taylor
yay <3<3
Make sure u vote plz

03:04Teagan
iwill

03:04Taylor
I dont want u to self vote and be taken out of the game
I need my Teagan

03:04Teagan
I need you too

03:04Taylor
I am just scared that Alex will convince either you, Amanda, or Mel to vote against me

03:05Teagan
he hasn't even tried to talk to mw
me

03:05Taylor
I cant see why any of the girls would do that though, because obviously LaFrance, Robbie, and Alex would vote you girls off any chance they had haha

03:05Teagan
haha yepp

03:06Taylor
btw I think it is going to be a final 3 this season

03:06Teagan
really?

03:06Taylor
Yeah I think so

03:06Teagan
do you like f3 better?

03:06Taylor
well
When I am watching, I prefer final 2

03:07Teagan
yeah

03:07Taylor
But the good thing about f3 when I am playing, is that there is a better shot at making it haha
Who do u think we should try to take to the end with us?

03:07Teagan
hmmm

03:07Taylor
You dont have to answer now if u dont want to
can be something we discuss later down the road

03:08Teagan
im just not quite sure yet

03:08Taylor
Just as long as us 2 stick together til the end hehe

03:08Teagan
yep

03:08Taylor
The crappy thing is
You have to vote 2 people off this TC
you are casting 2 votes

03:08Teagan
really??

03:08Taylor
one from each losing group

03:08Teagan
ooh

03:09Taylor
You are casting a vote against either me or Robbie
and then
a vote against either Jamie or Vartevar

03:09Teagan
ooooh I didn't know that lol

03:09Taylor
Yeah, it is intense

03:09Teagan
that's for sure

03:09Taylor
So we are going to lose 1 alliance member =\

03:09Teagan
im glad I sat out
yeah

03:09Taylor
You think you are going to vote out Vartevar or Jamie?

03:10Teagan
im not sure yet
it's tough when it's our alliance

03:10Taylor
lol u always say ur not sure
U know Im not going to tell anyone what u say

03:10Teagan
im never sure about anything haha

03:11Taylor
I can see why Alex is rly trying to get u girls to vote against me instead fo Robbie though

03:11Teagan
and yeah, I know you won't tell
yeah
but I'd never do that , don't worry

03:11Taylor
Because then after we lose Vartevar or Jamie.....
then if you were to lose me as well
That is a huge chunk of the alliance gone

03:12Teagan
they have the numbers
yeppp. and then I have no chance

03:12Taylor
Alex, Robbie, and LaFrance will pick u girls off 1 at a time

03:12Teagan
mhm

03:12Taylor
They think u girls would actually be stupid enough to vote with them lol

03:12Teagan
haha

03:13Taylor
btw u should go answer your questions and vote right now lol

03:13Teagan
I may be stupid, but not that stupid haha
oh yeah lol

03:13Taylor
So I can feel safe that u wont self vote urself out of the game lol]

03:13Teagan
I will in a sec
lol

03:13Taylor
k

03:13Teagan
your worried about me?
lol

03:13Taylor
Well it takes 2 self votes to be taken out of the game
And I rly want to be there with you in the end

03:14Teagan
okay

03:14Taylor
You received a self vote last time
so 1 more and ur a goner

03:14Teagan
ahh, ok
no more self votes for mw
me

03:15Taylor
hehe yay

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

Taylor
lol nice
I read Alex's TC answer again
So lame

03:45Teagan
I know

03:45Taylor
He says that if you keep Robbie, u will go further
lol
That is the biggest lie ever

03:45Teagan
haha yeah

03:46Taylor
How would he know anyway?
Just because he doesnt know about our tight alliance, doesnt mean it doesnt exist

03:47Teagan
have you talked to mel and amanda?

03:48Teagan is offline.
03:48Teagan is online.

03:48Taylor
welcome back
Yeah I talked to them about the vote

03:48Teagan
lol

03:48Taylor
I am pretty sure that they voted against Robbie already

03:48Teagan
okay that's good

03:48Taylor
Mel was mad at Alex's answer
because it basically sounds like he i saying he knows how to play the game better than all of you girls =\

03:49Teagan
did they say if they are voting jamie or vartevar?

03:49Taylor
is*

03:49Teagan
yepp pretty much

03:49Taylor
I think they are voting out Jamie

03:49Teagan
which is bull shit haha

03:49Taylor
yeah lol

03:50Teagan
okay, Im pretty sure I'm gonna vote jamie too

Taylor
Ur doing good this game
If it keeps going the way it is goin for us.. u could even win hehe

03:52Teagan
lol

03:52Taylor
I know I wont win. You would beat me in the finals. I have already played before and people wont vote for me because of it
But

03:52Teagan


03:52Taylor
Dont be sad hehe
I would love 2nd or third

03:53Teagan
lol

03:53Taylor
And I would honestly feel happy just being able to get my Teagan to the end <3<3

03:53Teagan
aww

03:53Taylor
*hugs*

03:53Teagan

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

I flirt too much lol. I figure that if girls can use it as a strategy..... who says guys cant do it too? lol.
I pretty much flirt with anyone if it gets me further lol.

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

This is scary as FUCK... but.... I am not going to use my idol. I have faith in my allies. Pleeeease dont let me down girls

[T@yLoR$+r33t]

hahaha, Vartevar is so convinced that Amanda has the idol. I love it

"Vartevar" (6:02:18 PM): we shouldve gone with that plan
"Vartevar" (6:02:20 PM): and tossed out alex
"Vartevar" (6:02:22 PM): instead of bleeker
"Vartevar" (6:02:23 PM): lol
"Vartevar" (6:02:30 PM): just so i dont have to hear about his ass lol
[e-mail] (6:02:34 PM): Yeah maybe
"Vartevar" (6:02:43 PM): no regrets bro
"Vartevar" (6:02:44 PM): lol
[e-mail] (6:02:52 PM): But who knows what would have happened with Bleeker not being voted out
[e-mail] (6:02:58 PM): if we didnt get rid of that idol that Robbie had
[e-mail] (6:03:01 PM): and he had it now..
"Vartevar" (6:03:02 PM): yeah for sure
"Vartevar" (6:03:05 PM): we'd be fucked
[e-mail] (6:03:05 PM): Bye bye me lol
"Vartevar" (6:03:07 PM): LOL
"Vartevar" (6:03:12 PM): so i guess its safe to say
"Vartevar" (6:03:15 PM): amanda has the idol?
[e-mail] (6:03:18 PM): haha
"Vartevar" (6:03:22 PM): lol
[e-mail] (6:03:22 PM): Im not bothering asking
[e-mail] (6:03:26 PM): But I swear she has it
"Vartevar" (6:03:30 PM): yeah cause she'll get suspicous
[e-mail] (6:03:32 PM): yeash

"Vartevar" (6:03:40 PM): yup for sure
