Week 3

[Boo Bernis]

Nothing much has happened.
Just the same talking of trying to get Chase's idol away.

I think we've fallen on a plan now.
I'm going to tell Chase that he has to play his idol because everyone else is voting him out.
We will have everyone vote for Chase, but I'll tell Chase me and him will vote Sandra.
Gabe and I will vote Sandra so just in case Chase tries to vote somewhere else (Ozzy, Gabe, me) Sandra will still go home.
If Chase doesn't play his idol, then tough luck because I warned him, and he'll be going home at his own hand.

So that's THAT.
Now, obviously some people didn't participate in the challenge, but I've told Kelly I have her back, and I told Parv I would have Kelly's back so they can reunite. Parv and Kelly both said they'd be sooo grateful, and I think we will form a solid 3. As I've said before Parv wanted me to bring in someone so I didn't feel like a 3rd wheel (I know what she's doing, because that's how I try to bring someone in my alliance that I already have a strong 2 with someone else.) I know she'll pick Kelly at any point in the game over me, so I have to set this up well for myself. I told her if I had to bring in anyone, I'd bring in Gabe. THEN we discussed a 5th. I did all I could to lean her towards Russell without letting her know I wanted him there. Kind of saying he's an option blah blah blah. As far as I'm concerned she bit on it, and I'm hoping that we will be a core 5. If we all go to the end, I know Gabe and Russ will both come with me meaning we send Parv home, then Kelly, and from there we play it out like men...well except Gabe! (if it's not a final 3 already).
So far I feel good, but we have to get to merge together first. I think it's doable, but it will be tricky. We'll seeeeeeeee.

As for Russell...Villains are going to tribal, and I think (as far as I know) Parv bit on Russell being the 5th for our alliance...I'm hoping that will be enough to keep him safe. It didn't seem he did any of the challenge, so I'm really hoping he can survive. I hope they ditch Aras this round. It seems they don't know who has the idol, so they are more than likely splitting votes again which leaves a lot of room for mistakes and a blindside...we'll see how that goes, but for right now I feel Russell is still my #1, and I hope to GOD he still feels the same way. It's hard since we're separated, but I don't imagine that lasting long.

I'm excited to see what will happen, but it will be a long and tricky road!

Interesting to hear, if your tribe goes to Tribal Council it seems like it will be an interesting one!

Dang we kicked butt on that challenge.
I would like to point out, if it wasn't for me and my good scores, we would have gone to tribal.
For once I feel like I'm a more dominant challenge player haha
I've actually been trying, partially because I'm on break!

Anyways, since we're not going to tribal much hasn't happened.
I finally got to talk to Russell though, but only for a short time.
I've been worried for him, so we'll see what happens with their tribal. I kind of monitored what was happening and found out the vote was for Aras.

I really think Aras has the idol, but others seem not to think so.
Parv said Sally came to her and said to vote Aras, but I just find that real fishy. Basically all votes on Aras then he could choose whoever he wanted to vote out. At that point, I know he knows Russell and Courtney both voted him out last tribal so he could very well vote one of them out. I'd hate for that person to be Russell. I wish I was over there right now...I feel I could help Russell's situation.

I'm doing all I can to inch Parv towards working with me and Russell WITHOUT letting her know me and Russell have even really talked.

I'd love to see Courtney leave this game before she harms my game at all, but I'm not going to push hard for it, and I'm not even on the tribe so there's only so much I'd be able to influence my alliance-mates to do.

Benry-Chase-Sandra-Aras-Ashley-Amanda
They're all working together, and they'll constantly deny it and cover each other, but they need to start dropping! I will make sure at our first tribal, either Chase or Sandra goes.
If all 6 of them fricken get to the merge, it will be hopeless unless we can idol a few of them out. They need to start going, Benry and his minions.

Anyways, I'm nervous for Russell, and I'm glad I got to speak to him again, but I won't be fine until I know he's for sure safe. If Aras plays that idol he could very well go home...and then I'm not sure what I'll do. I'll have to change a lot of stuff.
