Episode #7: A dangerous double deal

[Anthony Robinson]

Here I will elaborate on my double dealing and alliances. One with Angie, one with YauMan/Jen, one with Penner. I didn't really realize I was in so many things involved, but people are starting to reassure their position with me and I basically nod and agree. Not gonna opt out, you know? I feel uncomfortable having different things going on, and I am scared of the future and having to betray someone because these are such good people. While it may be good for my game to have these things going on, I gotta think of a way to make this all work. Some stuff I only share with Penner, other stuff I only share with YauMan/Jen. That's kind of interesting, and messy. Plus Penner is a really smart player and he is onto alliances and stuff. So these double deals are dangerous. I will try to write more later, I gotta get this all off my chest.

[Anthony Robinson]

Well, so here we go I had a conversation with Penner yesterday that made me realize that I'm sorta double dealing, having multiple alliances at the same time. I don't like that very much and there's coming a point where I will have to betray one of the alliances (unless I'm being blindsided beforehand).

First person I connected with in this game was YauSmurf, but after that we didn't talk much at all. At the same time I talked to Penner, and YauSmurf and Penner had talked with each other as well. For a couple of days, when YauSmurf was too busy (and sick) to talk, me and Penner talked a lot, so when I was in Deception Valley alone, I gave my prize to Penner. That brought us closer, made him trust me, forced me to trust him as well Forced me to lie to YauSmurf and Jen, cuz I told them that I kept the prize myself; I'm not sure if they remember, they never asked me anything afterwards. Anyway, Penner and I agreed to watch each others backs and to tell each other if we heard each other's names. Great. Then, whenever we talked, we kind of reassured things, and he keeps saying I'm the only person he fully trusts.

Last night though, he said something like "You talk to a lot of other people, so I don't know where I stand with you." I confirmed to him that I do talk to YauMan and Jen, I told him that I talk to a lot of people and that we can use that in our advantage. I said no one knows that we're close, which is the truth. Then, to comfort him a bit more I just said that I wasn't much of a strategic and logical thinker. It's true, I mean, I don't discuss my strategy with people I do have a strategy, in my mind, in here, but in conversations I let other people do the thinking or give them a hint and then let them proceed from there on out. Then Penner said "but you're loyal, that's more important." and then I complimented him with being such a logical thinker (he really is). I think we form a very good team. Then he talked about how he can read people based on what they say. YIKES. That scares me! Anyway... it's alright. He knows I talk to a lot of people, he doesn't trust YauMan, but I told him that I do and that him not trusting him doesn't change much for me... so the risk of him figuring out I have a "final 3" with YauMan and Jen is relatively small. He knows that I have his back, and I do. If people bring him up for the vote, then I'm going to stick my neck out and do something about it. May not be the best thing for me, but that's the choice that I made when bonding with Penner.

On the other hand though, there's YauSmurf and Jen. Like right after I gave my prize to Penner it became very clear to me that they were doing a LOT of work to keep me safe and to refrain people from targeting me. Whenever my name was brought up, they would talk people out of it. They shared all kind of stuff with me, and while I didn't even know Jen and Yau were close at first, it appeared that both were close and that they are really the best allies I can wish for. They are on a lot, they're on during my morning so I don't have to 'feel alone', that's just great. They know a lot about what I'm doing, they know that I have the idol (while Penner doesn't... he just never asked), they know a lot about my items (right now Penner does as well because I simply told him last night), BUT they don't know I'm talking to Penner. At least, I don't think they know. They know that he once gave me an item, that I just told them. No point in keeping everything hidden, and they think he's close with Richard... so I believe (but not sure) they don't know that I'm THAT close to Penner. If they find out, they'll probably feel betrayed. It's a fact that by now they are pretty close to Angie and Shawna as well, so they have their side stuff as well. They tell me what's happening though, while I don't tell them. I feel bad about that....

Then there's this alliance with Angie... and I'm not sure what to do about that. I mean, she's the only person I've said the word alliance to. Haven't said that to the other three. Angie is close to YauMan, but not close to Penner at all. Penner wants her (and Shawna) out if possible, and when on Kiwano, Angie mentioned booting Richard and Penner before anyone else. This could all turn into a big mess.

Look, I don't want to make multiple deals, and I just want to be able to stick with one alliance and go to the end with them, and then whoever plays the best end game wins... you know. I'm loyal, I don't like to betray people. I was just sorta pulled into different things, just by being social and talking to people... which I needed to do to stay in the game whenever I was vulnerable and which is needed in a game anyway. I guess I come across as trustworthy, which is good, but... people are going to feel betrayed by me at some point and I don't like that. Anyway, we'll see. Maybe there will be some casualties along the way (and maybe I'm even one of them). I mean, unless I'm blindsided this or next round, there's gonna be trouble in my head and my heart ><

tl;dr ~ I don't want to have multiple things going on at the same time. Fact is I do have several things going on, and I have no clue who to go with and what to do. Right now I'm just thinking: if people are going to blindside Penner, then I'm gonna stir things up.

[Anthony Robinson]

Oh and this creative challenge may be alright. I'm better at that then at storytelling, that's fo' sure I tried making a short video, but the new Windows Movie Maker is really killing me. I have some footage I wanna use, but not sure if this is going to work bcuz really that software is not cooperating. The idea that's on my mind may not really work... in which case I'll have to go for a simpler alternative.

[Anthony Robinson]

OOC break. I'm having a conversation with Angie who's supposedly drunk or idk what, but it's freaking annoying. She's part of my game so I'll just nod and talk back to her like I find her behaviour funny, but truth is she's ridiculous and I am not quite sure how to deal with this so I thought I'd just speak my mind here and let you know what's going on. I just can't tell her that she should stop this nonsense and that I'm done with her, because then she'll most likely talk sh*t about me to other people. Can't have that. I'll just let her do her trolling for as long as she is in the game, but at the same time I'll have to find a way to get her out because she is poison.

So first, she comes on AIM, doesn't say hi or anything, just starts complaining about the challenge. Then she proudly presents what she's made for the challenge. Complete rubbish to piss the host off. I told her she could be removed for doing that. She doesn't care. She doesn't give a sh*t about this game. That's just so annoying. I care a lot about it and it just hurts to see someone doing this stuff.

After that she starts talking about me and Jen taking her to the Final 2; she's telling the same to Jen. She's saying how it would be perfect, and how she's going to insult all the jury members.

-------------------------
Angie Jakusz 8:35 pm
lol
Jenn just came up with
the perfect idea
the most perfect idea ever

Anthony Robinson 8:36 pm
what is it?

Angie Jakusz 8:36 pm
get me to the FTC as a goat

Anthony Robinson 8:36 pm
xD

Angie Jakusz 8:36 pm
Once I'm there, I troll and insult all the jurors

----------------------------

Then she went on an on about this, for like half an hour. If I were playing a villain I'd tell her how annoying she is but for my game I just can't. So she's saying how it would be better to be there with someone of the 'opposite alliance' and how she will then get votes from me-Yau-Jen-Kenny-Shawna (apparently this is my alliance?). So I'm just nodding... I mean, obviously I wouldn't want to see a game that I care about being ruined by a finalist who doesn't care, that's like the worst that can happen. At some point she finally stops bothering me with this nonsense, so I start writing this confessional. 15 minutes later....

---------------
Angie Jakusz 9:10 pm
Sorry for the sudden silence xD
I'm speaking to both you and Jenn
About this ingenious idea
--------------

Uhm, I was happy you stopped talking to me. Bottom line is, she's pissed because of what happened after her self-vote, so now she's going to troll just to piss people off. She's trying to get me and Jen to support her in this and I'm like I'm disappointed, I didn't expect this from her at all as I thought she was really nice. I realize what this confessional may do to my game and to the relationship between her and me after the game, but really, she's poison and her presence in the game is bothering me.

[Tracy Hughes-Wolf]

*scratches head* She's trying to get you guys to get her to the end? Over you guys? That WANT to play and win???

[Anthony Robinson]

Well, so I got myself a new short-term mission in this game. This may sound mean, but I'd like to remove the poison named Angie. She's not good for this game since she doesn't care about it and can ruin my game at any given time.

I came up with a good argument for getting her out right now. If we (= Jen and others) keep Angie and count on her as one of our numbers, then once she is removed from the game it will hurt us. People will be mad at us for keeping her in this game, we will be down a number, and it would just make us look like fools for doing any effort to keep her alive. I already feel bad for doing work to refrain people from targeting her, and I've done enough for her. It's now time for me to lead the charge against her and to show people that I am in no way with her. I don't want to be associated with her anymore.

So I'm sure Brenda and Chelsea will be down with voting Angie. I'd like to talk to Brenda soon so I can bring it up to her. She'll run with it and spread the word to Chelsea. I already spread the word to Richard and told him that I am finally seeing that she is a waste of space. Penner does not have a problem with voting Angie. Then only YauMan, Jen, Shawna, and Courtney are left. Not sure what Courtney is thinking, but she may be on board with it. Shawna is hard to talk to, just had a short conversation with her after a LONG time of not catching each other on. It didn't really go anywhere... I don't know what to do with it, she's really nice but I can't bring Angie up to her when Jen and YauMan are not on board with voting Angie. I haven't talked to YauMan about this because I first wanted to discuss it with Jen. This is what happened... and I've been upfront to her about this because I don't like this thing happening... so...

--------------------
Anthony Robinson 11:10 pm
have u done stuff for the challenge?

Jen Lyon 11:10 pm
yes, quite terrible
but she cant say I didnt try

Anthony Robinson 11:11 pm
lol okay
I bet you did better than Angie :-P

Jen Lyon 11:11 pm


Anthony Robinson 11:13 pm
I've been thinking abt what she's doing but I don't really like it to be honest :-\

Jen Lyon 11:14 pm
me neither, but her PoV is didnt from ours, we been doing well in the game and Amanda treats us well, but it was the opposite for her

Anthony Robinson 11:15 pm
yeah I get that, but I don't like the fact that she's trolling and asking us to take her to the end in a game that we do care about

Jen Lyon 11:16 pm
oh yeah....but at least however she wants to work with us

Anthony Robinson 11:16 pm
yeah but she could freak out and do something weird at any time, she's a loose cannon
and, if we count on her as a number and she's removed from the game for trolling (I can see that happening) then it will hurt us

Jen Lyon 11:18 pm
yea, which is why we need to stay in contact with Rich, Penner and Shawna, all of whom are not easy to get in contact with

Anthony Robinson 11:18 pm
lol ikr
the game is active, but idk some people I can never catch online xD
and it's not just me with my crappy time zone I think :-P

Jen Lyon 11:23 pm
nope I hardly see them either

Anthony Robinson 11:25 pm
speaking of the devil xD
-------------------

She's just constantly holding on to something different. I don't like that. Like, oh that's why we gotta keep in touch with Rich, Penner, Shawna. No, that's why we gotta get rid of Angie before people are starting to hate us for making controversial decisions like keeping Angie over anyone who cares about the game. I will just need to stand up for myself, and whenever we talk about the vote I will say that I want Angie out. I'll just keep saying that and when she asks why then I will repeat the things that I said. In the very worst case scenario I may even try and go behind Jen's back to form a temporary thing between the people who do want to see Angie go.

[Anthony Robinson]

Jen, Jen, Jen... please... I kept pushing, and she keeps planting seeds about people in my mind. She doesn't want me to trust anyone, she wants me to feel uncomfortable with going to F9 without Angie. I don't buy all that stuff honestly, I don't buy any of it and she's just messing with me. I feel that. This is not good. I'm VERY wary now.

----------
Jen Lyon 1:32 am
in the meantime, I am figuring Brenda/Chelsea depending on immunity

Anthony Robinson 1:32 am
for the vote?

Jen Lyon 1:32 am
yup

Anthony Robinson 1:33 am
do you want to keep Angie?

Jen Lyon 1:33 am
Yea, she seems intent on sticking with us for now

Anthony Robinson 1:34 am
yeah true but she doesn't care about the game and is a loose cannon :-\

Jen Lyon 1:34 am
yeah she is lol, but I already know Brenda and Courtney are at least after us, and she really like me and you

Anthony Robinson 1:35 am
yeah that's obvious...
idk though, I wouldn't feel right keeping her

Jen Lyon 1:36 am
well if she went home, who else can we trust?

Anthony Robinson 1:37 am
YauMan, Shawna

Anthony Robinson 1:38 am
I don't think the other five have it together

Jen Lyon 1:38 am
me neither, though Courtney has been trying to bring them together

Anthony Robinson 1:38 am
if we try to keep Angie though, then they may get suspicious because it's just really controversial keeping her considering what she's doing in this challenge
really?

Jen Lyon 1:39 am
yea...
I heard from Yau-Man Courtney was trying to pull Yau-Man into voting me

Anthony Robinson 1:39 am
:-\

Jen Lyon 1:39 am
because she thinks I controlled the Ace vote

Anthony Robinson 1:39 am
which is not true

Anthony Robinson 1:40 am
cuz it was Shawna right

Jen Lyon 1:40 am
yea
but I didnt throw Shawna under the bus
but I agree Angie is a loose cannon

Anthony Robinson 1:40 am
but if we just all go for Angie then it may do some good with people

Jen Lyon 1:41 am
it makes me nervous since we lost Alicia and Kenny

Anthony Robinson 1:41 am
yeah
but YauMan wanted Kenny out
and Kenny wanted me out

Jen Lyon 1:41 am
I'd feel better if Brenda or Courtney went home first, cause I know those 2 were with Ace and want revenge

Anthony Robinson 1:42 am
idk that would be a risk, and it would keep Angie in the game :-\

Jen Lyon 1:42 am
how is that a risk?

Anthony Robinson 1:43 am
well everyone wants Angie gone

Jen Lyon 1:43 am
oh they do?

Anthony Robinson 1:43 am
whereas ppl may go against us if we try to keep Angie after they see her challenge

Jen Lyon 1:43 am
well, then again, they could just be telling you that too

Anthony Robinson 1:43 am
yeah true

Jen Lyon 1:44 am
Shawna did mention to me how you were winning every challenge

Anthony Robinson 1:44 am
yeah ><

Anthony Robinson 1:44 am
but even then
I think ppl would vote Angie out in a heartbeat, bringing us to Final 9

Jen Lyon 1:45 am
k, but can we trust Shawna enough at the Final 9 that the 4 of us would be solid?
cause we'll need to use powers and stuff

Anthony Robinson 1:46 am
yeah that I don't know, but I don't want to rely on Angie either because she may get removed

Jen Lyon 1:46 am
if they are all voting Angie, we can go along and not have to use any items

Anthony Robinson 1:47 am
yeah that sounds good

Jen Lyon 1:47 am
but if they are trying to vote me you or Yau

Anthony Robinson 1:47 am
we must come up with something different; items or idol

Jen Lyon 1:49 am
yup
and there is always the Richard vs Courtney thing

Anthony Robinson 1:49 am
yeah true

Jen Lyon 1:50 am
who said so far they wanna vote Angie?

Anthony Robinson 1:51 am
for several rounds I've been hearing that
from Brenda, and earlier from ppl who wanted to vote her when we voted Ace out, Rich mentioned her before mentioning Courtney

Jen Lyon 1:52 am
ahhh ok
so like a few rounds ago

Anthony Robinson 1:52 am
so I'm thinking that's Brenda, Chelsea, Rich, Penner, automatically
yeah but Brenda and Rich said that last round

Jen Lyon 1:52 am
oh yeah
on our Red Tribe
I just have a feeling it could turn into "Angie is no threat, let's vote Jen or Anthony" kinda thing

Anthony Robinson 1:53 am
yeah it could
but if ppl see what Angie did in this challenge
I hope they will just respect the game

Jen Lyon 1:53 am
I wonder if Amanda will post the posters

Anthony Robinson 1:53 am
yeah I asked, she will
------------

At least I got her from Brenda/Chelsea to "maybe Angie"

[Anthony Robinson]

So Jen messaged me during the night "when you get on later we will need to talk"... right, I'm sure it means that stuff got stirred up.

[Anthony Robinson]

Finally brought this stuff up to YauMan. I don't mind talking dirt about what Angie is doing now to be honest. Anything that makes people want to vote her out will do the job.

-------------
Anthony Robinson 3:10 pm
did anything happen last night? Jen dropped me an offline saying we need to talk

YauMan 3:11 pm
yeah me too. I dont know if someone said something to her, or if she just getting nervous going into this round.

Anthony Robinson 3:11 pm
yeah when I talked to her yesterday she did seem nervous

Anthony Robinson 3:14 pm
I was thinking we should maybe cut Angie before Amanda removes her from the game... I feel like she is becoming a problem

YauMan 3:15 pm
i feel like she should return my double vote lol

Anthony Robinson 3:15 pm
lol yes
you could ask her saying you have a triple
xD
I mean she doesn't care about the game at all

YauMan 3:16 pm
I like angie though I want her to care.

Anthony Robinson 3:16 pm
yeah I liked her too

YauMan 3:16 pm
what we need to do is get her interested cause if not thats a vote we lose to the brendas and chelseas of the world who are looking to get us out

Anthony Robinson 3:16 pm
but she's been talking to me and Jen and she keeps saying she doesn't care and wants to troll Amanda... I don't like that.

YauMan 3:17 pm
troll?
why does everyone say that I totally dont get it

Anthony Robinson 3:17 pm
what does everyone say?

YauMan 3:17 pm
troll? I dont get what it means

Anthony Robinson 3:17 pm
xD it just means she wants to act like an idiot and piss amanda off
just for the sake of pissing her off

YauMan 3:18 pm
oh well that is fucked.

Anthony Robinson 3:18 pm
yes
so I acted like ok well if u wanna do that then ur gonna be removed
but she doesn't care

Anthony Robinson 3:19 pm
and I have respect for the host and don't want her to do that stuff
look at Angie's warning level... she keeps smiting Amanda, and Amanda keeps increasing her warning level

YauMan 3:20 pm
I know last time we talked she was pissed bout the voting deadline thing h avn't talkd since

Anthony Robinson 3:20 pm
yeah she was upset with that and then went trolling (ie. pissing Amanda off)

Anthony Robinson 3:21 pm
and she showed me what she did for this challenge, and her only purpose was to piss Amanda off with what she made
so when people see that, and we boot them while keeping Angie, that will piss people off to no end
plus she may be removed anyway, so I don't think we should protect her any longer :-\

YauMan 3:23 pm
why is her warning level going up for smiting amanda

Anthony Robinson 3:23 pm
Amanda takes offense from it

YauMan 3:23 pm
(and yes I agree trying to fuck with the host should get her removed)
but smiting shouldn't warant her warning level she should jsut be smited in return

Anthony Robinson 3:23 pm
oh she is smited in return
Amanda doesn't accept that behavior from her
but it's not just for smiting that her warning level is that high
she flat out said she doesn't care about the game and that she's trying to piss her off; she has this goal of going to the Final 2 or 3 and then insulting everyone on the jury just to annoy Amanda

YauMan 3:26 pm
its just talk though

Anthony Robinson 3:26 pm
yes true

YauMan 3:26 pm
she never gonna get near the final 3

Anthony Robinson 3:26 pm
well yeah I hope not
but people may drag her, she expects me to drag her

Anthony Robinson 3:27 pm
I don't like what she's doing and she's just bad for our game IMO

YauMan 3:27 pm
i expected to use the shit out of her to get out Brianna and Chelsea and then I was gonna drop her like its hot
just remeber babe its all talk and immaturity. maybe its what jen wants to talk about

Anthony Robinson 3:28 pm
we can get them out without her help
yeah idk
I just think we can easily get to Final 9 without wasting items bcuz everyone will want to see Angie go. I know that Brenda and Richard do for sure.

YauMan 3:29 pm
I think for niow there is no reason to wory like I told Jen we dont even have immunity results. The girls wil lcome talk to me and we weill see where everyone heds are yet
<<< doesn't have items lol

Anthony Robinson 3:29 pm
ikr xD

Anthony Robinson 3:29 pm
yeah ok we gotta see what people think, but if they think Angie then I don't think we should protect her any longer

YauMan 3:32 pm
lol I was only protecting her for you babe im cool either way.

Anthony Robinson 3:33 pm
lol I know, and I just didn't see a problem with her before, thought she cared
but this thing I really do not like and I know it may be good for our game to drag her with us if she doesn't get removed, but she just doesn't deserve to be here over Chelsea and Brenda

Anthony Robinson 3:35 pm
and she is a loose cannon too, she might as well do something really weird just to annoy people
-----------
He's a better listener than Jen.

[Amanda Kimmel]

I hope this works! Like you said: I don't want to have to ban someone. Messes up the game.

[Anthony Robinson]

Jen, Jen, Jen...... geez...

-----------------
Jen Lyon 4:40 pm
wanted to talk to you because I had a long revealing conversation with Shawna

Anthony Robinson 4:41 pm
ah okay what happened?

Jen Lyon 4:42 pm
this is her master plan atm
Shawna 11:24 pm
i personally think that the best plan might be to just get chelsea now
than make a kinda girls thing
because angie has no other options and wed need some sort of team effort to get out anthony or yau


Jen Lyon 11:25 pm
yeah I see, and Brenda/Courtney will agree because its their butts on the line



Shawna 11:25 pm
and then we can have a majority with me/you/angie



Jen Lyon 11:27 pm
oh yeah if it goes all the way



Shawna 11:27 pm
well its just a thought
like if we were to stick together we could get angie





Anthony Robinson 4:43 pm
right

Jen Lyon 4:43 pm
which was kinda what I was worried about

Anthony Robinson 4:43 pm
yeah

Jen Lyon 4:44 pm
she said though she knows that Brenda, Chelsea and Courtney are all together in Ace's group

Jen Lyon 4:44 pm
so basically vote Chelsea off, and then flip to vote you and Yau

Anthony Robinson 4:44 pm
yeah well that's not good xD

Jen Lyon 4:45 pm
yah, not the best lol
I don't think Angie would flip

Anthony Robinson 4:45 pm
yeah but she will be removed xD
her warning level increased 15% more

Jen Lyon 4:46 pm
she'll need to tone down her trolling
Amanda dont like it

Anthony Robinson 4:46 pm
yeah but she won't I think, she doesn't care

Jen Lyon 4:48 pm
true, i feel like you need all the allies you can get right now, even if they are self destructive lol
we'll have to talk to her

Anthony Robinson 4:48 pm
yeah but I don't even want that honestly
she's just poison idk

Jen Lyon 4:49 pm
well if things go Shawna's way we'd have this round ok
but next time it's going to be very hard

Anthony Robinson 4:50 pm
idk, u mean if Chelsea goes this round?

Jen Lyon 4:50 pm
yup, unless she won the immunity

Anthony Robinson 4:50 pm
idk if it makes that much of a difference, it's gonna be hard either way because if we keep Angie people will team up against us I think

Jen Lyon 4:51 pm
the thing is, they already are

Anthony Robinson 4:51 pm
idk I don't expect them to have it together

Jen Lyon 4:52 pm
Shawna has, she suggested Ace and he went, and apparently Kenny too haha

Jen Lyon 4:52 pm
but the others, yeah not so much

Anthony Robinson 4:52 pm
yeah Shawna is dangerous xD
silent but deadly lol

Jen Lyon 4:52 pm
there is always Penner and Richard

Anthony Robinson 4:53 pm
yeah they're wildcards

Jen Lyon 4:53 pm
exactly
just like Angie
all such loose cannons

Anthony Robinson 4:53 pm
but if they go against us bcuz we keep Angie over Chelsea... I mean, that will probably rub them the wrong way

Jen Lyon 4:54 pm
Bet you Rich would probably want Courtney to go

Jen Lyon 4:54 pm
we'll see when the results come up

Anthony Robinson 4:54 pm
yeah; well when we were talking about a possible Kiwano TC he said Angie

Jen Lyon 4:54 pm
the good thing about Rich and Penner, is that Rich got votes from Courtney, Brenda and Chelsea to leave

Anthony Robinson 4:55 pm
and I was like, no ><
and now I'm like, yes xD
yeah

Jen Lyon 5:08 pm
Shawna 11:27 pm
well its just a thought
like if we were to stick together we could get angie


Jen Lyon 11:29 pm
Yeah what other options does she have right?



Shawna 11:29 pm
exactly
like if we save her now
and it didnt really continue from there haha

Anthony Robinson 5:09 pm
lol ok
well that would ruin the game imo, having Angie in the final 3 xD

Jen Lyon 5:10 pm
that won't happen, that is her fantasy lol

Anthony Robinson 5:10 pm
even for the winner it must suck to potentially auto-win xD

Anthony Robinson 5:10 pm
lol yeah I know but I just don't want her close to reaching that

Jen Lyon 5:11 pm
me neither, it just there is an ever growing population of people who want us out, and she isn't one of them

Anthony Robinson 5:11 pm
yeah bcuz she doesn't care who gets there and who wins and all xD
------------

I must be getting on her nerves now LOL. I just keep mentioning how I want Angie out. She doesn't bend either, but I will stick to what I think should happen at all cost

I am thinking of going to Brenda/Chelsea with some of this; not quotes, just saying there's talk about Chelsea going and that I disagree. At least this quote of Shawna will come in handy at some point. She wanted Chelsea out over Angie, well, that shouldn't do any good for her. I doubt whether this is all true or if Jen made this up. You know, she acts like EVERY thought and move comes from Shawna. That's just so weird, these MAY be Shawna's plans, but I think it's all Jen's plans, not Shawna's.

So this thing may come in handy this round and next round. When the girls are teaming up, things can be done about it. I think it's gonna be a bit more of a struggle to survive when Angie is gone, but it will be worth it. I just can't stand her presence in the game anymore.

Actually I don't care anymore if Jen is ok with getting Angie out this round. It would be great if she is on board and if she knows I'm gonna vote Angie no matter what, but if I'd have to leave her in the dark about it then so be it, then she should have listened.

The thing I'm worried about the MOST, is me going after Angie this round, and Brenda/Chelsea finding the numbers and powers to blindside me this round. That would be like the most horrible way to leave a game, ever. I'd be fine being blindsided any round, but NOT when I'm trying to save someone who cares over an ALLY who doesn't care at all. That would just be extremely painful

[Anthony Robinson]

Good, so the latter cannot happen since I won immunity O-M-G I'm totally shaking now. I'm really really happy with it, so now I will just go in bulldozer mode and get rid of Angie. I know from past games that in these situations I tend to end up taking the 'other' route and that always screws me over, so this time it's bulldozer mode, I will vote Angie.

Brenda Lowe 9:06 pm
Oh well you won anyway xD

Anthony Robinson 9:07 pm

Brenda Lowe 9:08 pm
like you needed it :-P

Anthony Robinson 9:08 pm
haha well, I don't know, I'd be scared yeah

Anthony Robinson 9:12 pm
so do you have thoughts for the vote?

Brenda Lowe 9:14 pm
Well, I've heard a few things here and there but I'm not sure

Brenda Lowe 9:14 pm
I heard Angie, but then Richard told me that Courtney, Chelsea, and I were the targets, and I don't really know why we're grouped together but yeah

Anthony Robinson 9:16 pm
oh I haven't heard that before
I think it's clear that Angie doesn't care about the game at all

Brenda Lowe 9:16 pm
Richard said that Jen said that

Brenda Lowe 9:17 pm
Mhm I would be ashamed if someone active got voted out over Angie

Anthony Robinson 9:17 pm
yeah that'd be kinda ridiculous imo
so if more ppl want that then that works for me

Brenda Lowe 9:18 pm
I'd hope it'd be consensus to take out Angie but you never know

Anthony Robinson 9:18 pm
yeah ppl could always try and blindside someone

Brenda Lowe 9:18 pm
anyone but you lol

Anthony Robinson 9:18 pm
lol yeah

Brenda Lowe 9:18 pm
:-P

Anthony Robinson 9:19 pm
but yeah
I like the game
Angie doesn't

Anthony Robinson 9:19 pm
1+1=2
that's how I see it

Brenda Lowe 9:19 pm
xD
That's some beautiful math

Anthony Robinson 9:19 pm
xD

Anthony Robinson 9:21 pm
but yeah it wouldn't surprise me if ppl try something else since Angie is like no threat
I just hope that won't happen even though I'm safe

Brenda Lowe 9:23 pm
:-\

Anthony Robinson 9:24 pm
so would you be up for voting Angie?

Brenda Lowe 9:25 pm
Yeah. I'm all for keeping who deserves to be here another round

Brenda Lowe 9:25 pm
Which is everyone but Angie, so
I'd definitely vote Angie

Anthony Robinson 9:26 pm
yeah I agree
I heard rumours that ppl thought she was close to me

Brenda Lowe 9:26 pm
I've heard these as well

Anthony Robinson 9:27 pm
yeah; and yeah we talked, probably more than she's talked to others xD, but she doesn't care about the game so I don't have a problem voting her.

Brenda Lowe 9:34 pm
she talked to me once
and then again after I made that comment about her self vote
but other than that not at all xD If she's on jury and I made finals I won't have a shot in hell at getting her vote, but I don't care. She doesn't deserve to be here

Anthony Robinson 9:35 pm
if she even shows up for jury

Brenda Lowe 9:35 pm
Rofllll good point

Anthony Robinson 9:35 pm
her warning level is 70% and she's constantly trolling Amanda

Brenda Lowe 9:35 pm
Why does she think that's gonna make the situation better? -__-
I don't understand

Anthony Robinson 9:36 pm
she doesn't, but she just wants to piss amanda off
bcuz she's immature and doesn't care anymore
Angie was telling me all of that, and I'm like, you shouldn't be here ><

Brenda Lowe 9:41 pm
Dx
why doesn't she just quit D:

Anthony Robinson 9:41 pm
that wouldn't piss Amanda off as much I guess

Brenda Lowe 9:41 pm
:-\

Anthony Robinson 9:42 pm
yeah it's really stupid; and I love the game and the host, so I really hope we can just get this done lol

Okay, so Brenda is all on board with voting Angie of course. What worries me is this:

---
Brenda Lowe 9:14 pm
Well, I've heard a few things here and there but I'm not sure

Brenda Lowe 9:14 pm
I heard Angie, but then Richard told me that Courtney, Chelsea, and I were the targets, and I don't really know why we're grouped together but yeah

Anthony Robinson 9:16 pm
oh I haven't heard that before
I think it's clear that Angie doesn't care about the game at all

Brenda Lowe 9:16 pm
Richard said that Jen said that
----

I'll deal with that next week though. Richard obviously drops a few spots when it comes to trusting people. I still don't want to keep Angie because it would give us numbers though.

[Anthony Robinson]

No way! No way! This is so bad...... so first of all let me tell what happened last night.

I'm hearing from both Brenda and Courtney that they KNOW they are first in the boot order. They say it came from Jen. Brenda said that Richard told him. So I run up to YauMan and Jen and tell that stuff. Jen is like, omg I never talk to Richard, Shawna must have done that! So we figure Shawna is the snake, running up to people telling bad stuff about Jen. Shawna is after the threats, like hardcore.

Of course, when I said that, things had to change. I didn't want to have secrets for YauMan and Jen though, so I HAD to tell them this stuff. Now, I was still saying Angie Angie Angie! However, YauMan, during my night, convinced everyone to go after Shawna for being a snake. What the.

Then Courtney and Penner got it in their heads that it really was Jen having that picking order and they peg Shawna and Jen together. They are thinking of going for Jen instead of Shawna. Oh my God. This is sooooooo bad. So I talk to Jonathan and Courtney and keep saying how I want Angie gone. They don't quite bite. I mean, Penner would vote Angie, but there's no way people are going to vote Angie, that's very obvious. So holy cow the vote could even become Jen now.

So that's when I work my magic on Penner and subtly say how I prefer Shawna to go over Jen, and that we'll take care of Jen next round. So he's all for that, convinces Courtney to go with that too. So... okay, that worked! However, I'm still not happy with this, not at all. I WANT TO SAVE THEIR LIVES FOR ONE OF MY ALLIES WHO'S A TROLL AND THEY WANNA KEEP HER. Ahum, sorry, but that makes me mad.

It looks like my mission is going to fail big time. Ugh.

Brenda's PM:

SPOILER: Click to show

Hey... I know we were thinking Angie, but Jen/Yau/Chels/I realized that Shawna is playing both sides and making up lies to everone. She's pulled shit out of her ass every round and puts the blame on everyone else.

Yau is using a prize to make sure she's going. Just wanted to let you know that the vote switched from Angie to SHAWNA.

Thanks <3

Jon

SPOILER: Click to show

Anthony Robinson 8:00 am
hey Jon

Jonathan Penner 8:01 am
Hey there!
How are you?
Congrats on immunity!

Anthony Robinson 8:01 am
good good, how are you?
thanks!

Jonathan Penner 8:01 am
Ah doing ok. Been so busy!
But now trying to figure out the vote and it's hectic it seems.

Anthony Robinson 8:02 am
yeah it seems so ><
ah yeah you had a wedding? Hope it was fun!

Jonathan Penner 8:03 am
It was fun! I had a good time!
Well it seems Angie was the original vote, then it changed to Shawna, but Jen was targeting Brenda/Chelsea/Courtney before Shawna was the vote. I told Courtney and now Courtney seems to want to vote Jen.

Anthony Robinson 8:05 am
right
yeah I'm hearing Shawna now
I'm not happy with all of this, just want Angie gone before anyone else and then have a good F9 from there on out.

Jonathan Penner 8:06 am
Yeah I agree...But I have a feeling Angie will be removed rather soon. This also leaves others not very suspecting.
But I'm going to wait to see what Jen has to say.

Anthony Robinson 8:07 am
yeah true, she will be removed, but not sure if Amanda will do another double elim
I bet she doesn't want that

Jonathan Penner 8:08 am
I know, but we have to set ourselves up nice for the end.

Anthony Robinson 8:09 am
yeah ok... idk though, I think it'd make anyone look bad to take a troll over someone else
but I get why a threat should go first, especially if they're shady business lol

Jonathan Penner 8:10 am
Yeah. Well Jen isn't shady, but I think her and Yau are the 2 biggest social threats.

Anthony Robinson 8:11 am
Yeah I think that's correct

Anthony Robinson 8:13 am
did you manage to solve that first puzzle btw?

Jonathan Penner 8:13 am
Yes I did.
The other null was a fake.

Anthony Robinson 8:16 am
oh that sucks
I'm glad we got that cleared up though, there's nothing worse than having to take such a huge gamble with each prize

Jonathan Penner 8:17 am
Exactly!
Well I hate to keep poking at it but I really got to get to bed so I want to know what you would want to do with the vote.
If you feel Angie's the right move I'll support that.
I just see it as a prime opportunity to get out someone far more threatening.

Anthony Robinson 8:17 am
I don't think there's sufficient support for that

Jonathan Penner 8:18 am
It seems either Shawna or Jen at this point.

Anthony Robinson 8:18 am
honestly I mean yes I can't stand Angie's presence any longer xD but what I'm hearing is those two indeed
do you have to vote now?

Jonathan Penner 8:21 am
No, I can wait until tomorrow.

Anthony Robinson 8:22 am
okay; well it seems like it's one of those two anyway
we just gotta figure out who

Jonathan Penner 8:22 am
Oh no, never mind. It was posted at 1pm for me. I will be out of internet access for that whole time.

Anthony Robinson 8:23 am
wow yikes

Anthony Robinson 8:24 am
well I'd personally prefer Angie > Shawna > Jen because I barely talked to Shawna and Jen can be dealt with next round imo

Jonathan Penner 8:24 am
Yeah I just told that to Courtney. I think we just get Shawna now, then get rid of Jen next round.

Anthony Robinson 8:25 am
Agreed.

Jonathan Penner 8:26 am
Alright I'll put my vote in now.
For Shawna.

Anthony Robinson 8:27 am
okay sounds good; I'll pm you if anything changes even though you may not read it lol

Jonathan Penner 8:28 am
I won't haha
But you can still do it if you want!

Anthony Robinson 8:28 am
haha ok xD

Jonathan Penner 8:30 am
Alright I convinced Courtney to hold off on Jen for next week.
I think that's a smarter move.

Anthony Robinson 8:30 am
Yeah I think we'd have the votes to do that anyway.
It shouldn't be that hard.

Jonathan Penner 8:31 am
Me, you, Courtney, Chels and Brenda.
5/9 at least, if Angie gets removed 5/8

Anthony Robinson 8:31 am
Lol
omg I hope she's removed

Jonathan Penner 8:32 am
But then we'll need to break up that alliance (supposedly) of Courtney, Chels and Brenda. But we can get yau and Rich and we'd have a solid 4 against them.

Jonathan Penner 8:32 am
I think you and I are looking very promising in this game!!

Anthony Robinson 8:32 am
for sure! Is Courtney/Chelsea/Brenda really an alliance then?
idk if Courtney is part of that actually

Jonathan Penner 8:35 am
Well it's a rumor. I don't believe it quite yet, but we'll soon see. I would say I wouldn't mind us going to f5 with them, but I'm nervous of them 3 sticking together and picking us off.

Anthony Robinson 8:35 am
oh yeah I'd be nervous about that too

Jonathan Penner 8:38 am
But like I said, I think we can pull Rich and Yau in and at least even those numbers.
But I gotta get to bed. So I'll probably be on tomorrow night.

Anthony Robinson 8:38 am
Okay have a good night, talk to you then ;-)

Jonathan Penner 8:38 am
You too!

Anthony Robinson 8:39 am
Yeah we'll see how it goes, I think Rich will be good with us for sure.

Jonathan Penner 8:39 am
I think so too!

Ok, well, Jon, fyi, you lost me here. You run up to Courtney to stir sh*t and go after Jen like hardcore? No. That's not gonna work for me. This is gonna give a lot of stress next week as it seems like I have to make a choice between going with Penner and Jen, but as much as I wanted to work with Penner I feel like I should help my girl Jen.

Courtney

SPOILER: Click to show

Anthony Robinson 8:00 am
hey Courtney :-)

autismrocks54 8:01 am
hey anthony
i waited up for you
:-D

Anthony Robinson 8:01 am
hey haha nice
what's up? ;-)

autismrocks54 8:02 am
just htinking of the votes
:-D

Anthony Robinson 8:03 am
did anything new come up?

autismrocks54 8:03 am
well...
yes
hahaha

Anthony Robinson 8:04 am
lol I'm just reading into stuff now

autismrocks54 8:04 am
so i am a target from shawna and jen...
then brenda and chelsea
that coming from yau via im's from jen and shawna

Anthony Robinson 8:04 am
wow

autismrocks54 8:04 am
however, penner said that he got a pm from jen saying i was the target

autismrocks54 8:05 am
that she wanted to get rid of the remaining 'ace allies' which according to jen is me, chelsea and brenda
so it acutually sounds like jen is the power player
starting shit
etc..

Anthony Robinson 8:06 am
wow ok
I mean I'm reading it's Shawna now

autismrocks54 8:06 am
i got a pm from brenda saying to vote shawna
but i am thinking that shawna is only strong as long as jen is in the game
angie will get self voted or banned by amanda...

autismrocks54 8:07 am
let lividmanda deal with her

Anthony Robinson 8:08 am
hmm yeah that's true; I just don't like that she's still in the game and MAY go further

autismrocks54 8:08 am
i hate inactives more than anything
however, she can be used to our advantage
lol

Anthony Robinson 8:09 am
well worse than that is someone who's trolling the host imo

autismrocks54 8:09 am
that's why i know she will bury herself with the host

autismrocks54 8:11 am
hmm

Anthony Robinson 8:12 am
but yeah I mean if the vote shifts then I guess I'll go along, I have no problem with it, just with Angie.

autismrocks54 8:12 am
i too have a problem with angie...
i think getting ther person out that played both sides is smart

Anthony Robinson 8:14 am
which I'm hearing is Shawna

autismrocks54 8:14 am
that's what i heard first

Anthony Robinson 8:14 am
but that could be done next round too IMO; not that I want to keep her, at all, but idk

autismrocks54 8:14 am
but then when i actually timed everything out
and heard from different people
it really is jen

Anthony Robinson 8:14 am
ok well we gotta figure that out

autismrocks54 8:14 am
i think shawna needs to go too
i think that jen and shawna are working together

Anthony Robinson 8:15 am
I heard both names as initiators of the Ace vote
and then Shawna as initiator of the Kenny vote

autismrocks54 8:15 am
i heard jen and i called her out on it
and she said she couldn't tell me
that it was ace
cause she said i would go to him

Anthony Robinson 8:15 am
huh

autismrocks54 8:15 am
which i didn't

Anthony Robinson 8:16 am
ok ><

autismrocks54 8:16 am
i heard that jen was the one that started the ace vote

Anthony Robinson 8:17 am
ah ok yeah I heard both
so idk who's the real one xD

autismrocks54 8:18 am
i'm feeling jen is the stronger one
only because she has talked to so many people
whereas i personally don't think i've talked to shawna
lol
anyway

Anthony Robinson 8:19 am
I've talked to her a very few times
and Jen more yes

autismrocks54 8:19 am
i think that we should vote jen

Anthony Robinson 8:19 am
I'd like to figure stuff out first but well if everyone is going for Jen or Shawna then that works for me I guess
there's no point in voting Angie then lol

autismrocks54 8:20 am
that's what i am thinking
i'm going to head to bed
please pm me

Anthony Robinson 8:21 am
yes I will
if I hear news

autismrocks54 8:23 am
alright
i'll talk to you tomorrow

Anthony Robinson 8:24 am
ok tty tomorrow have a good night

I don't even know what to do I mean I could do the bulldozer strategy, but people are voting Shawna so that's how the game will go :/

[Anthony Robinson]

This one will potentially hurt my game:

(mirror: i.imgur.com/x0cUk.png )

This one will go against what I believe in and what I promised myself to do:


I'm torn right now, which is not good.
