First of all, sorry for shitting the bed this round on filling you guys in. Been crazy busy this weekend.
When I saw this challenge, I knew we were going to lose. Im not really sure why, but I had a feeling. It wasnt my kind of challenge at all. I just could not find words using the wild squares. And we were kind of a mess. We just didnt really get organized. So when results were up, I was not surprised at all to see we lost. But I didnt really sweat it, I pretty much know I am safe in this tribe. I have built myself up on a very stable foundation. So I am going to try and make sure that what happens, works in my benefit.
I am pretty peeved that Faith didnt hardly put in any effort. I know I didnt do much better, but this is twice where she hasnt really shown up to compete. But she is still basically my main ally. So this cannot come back to bite her right now.
Last round, an alliance was formed between myself, faith and jackie. Our plan was to bring Owen in as our fourth. He is a total bore, but if we will listen to us, I may as well keep him around. Only problem with that though, is Henry leaving.
Henry and I have a great relationship in this game. I know I have kind of had my doubts about him, but I think if we just cement ourselves on the same page, good things will happen. Only problem there, is Faith REALLY wanted him out. Not really sure why, but Faith does sometimes act irrationally. But at first, I was kind of down. I knew I could trust faith, I thought I could trust Jackie, and I figured Owen would actually be a good listener. Henry on the other hand still had a bit of a question mark beside his name. He voted Owen when I told him what was going down. And he also seems to try very hard to be a closed book. Ive proven my trust to him much more than he has to me. So something needs to happen here. And something did.
This morning I wake up to a bunch of messages from Faith and Henry. I left my phone signed on, so I cant easily post the convos here. But basically Jackie hard core threw me under the bus. Along with Faith. She told Henry that he was leaving, and that it was all our idea. Luckily for me, Henry trusts me more than maybe I thought. So he came to me and asked what was up. I think I did a pretty good job at covering my ass. He said he expected it after the last vote, and I told him it was Jackie who seemed hesitant when I threw Owens name out there. Which is true. So I did kind of tell her I could be down with Henry going. But after talking to Faith, we knew it was smarter to get Owen out. Im glad Henry trusts and likes me, otherwise this could have bite me in the ass huge.
Now, there had to be a reason for Jackie to throw me out with the trash right???
Well it turns out that Henry cracked the code for the idol. Followed by Jackie who saw it was gone. So she jumped ship to ensure that she was safe. Unlucky for her though, Henry is my ally.
After all this, Henry said that Owen needs to go, and if we are still a tribe next round and we lose again, Jackie will go. And I want to trust this, but its tough. I for sure cant trust Jackie anymore, so I would love to see her get the boot this round. Only problem is I totally ran out of time. BUT. Things went my way, and we get an extension.
Now i need to move my feet and send Jackie out the door.
