Final 8

[Ben "Benry" Henry]

Haha! That last TC was awesome!

I really enjoy when things just go off without a hitch, and that vote really did. Blindsiding people is awesome, and while I'm sure there were hints that that could go down, I'm sure after Chase went last round those girls were really secure in their position in this game.

Now I've really done a lot for Jill and Shannon. I think that they hold me very highly for making that move, as well they should. Alina actually wanted to go back on it at a point, and I pretty much put my foot down and said that we should just go with it and not vote Jill off to be safe as she was suggesting. I told her, Yve, and Kelly s. that I am just sticking to what I did, and that hopefully it would work out. When it did, I think everyone was happy we didn't flip the vote to Jill, cause that would have been much less exciting. Now, with this new situation hopefully my side wins and Yve votes out Jane with Shannon/Jill, or my side wins and we vote out Brenda. Either way then once we hit seven La Flor has to start going or we are all going to lose this game. It's just simply at that point in the game, and while I like Jill, and I'm happy that I helped them get a step further, I cannot sacrifice my entire game at this point.

I think now is the time to start preparing for finals, and start taking out the last people who will make getting the the end difficult, and begin formulating the situations where I can get there with a good chance to win.

I just had a GREAT talk with Brenda. Completely crafting things PERFECTLY for a jury vote.

My tribe is apparently thorwing this challenge, as we should. Jane SHOULD work with Shannon/Jill if she wants a chance at making the finals without having to go on an immunity-run, and I don't want that possibility that she is that smart to get in the way of the plans to get myself to the end with a win.

So we gotta throw it. That's how it goes.

Anyway, I need to handle Brenda in a way that she hopefully won't target me, but that she also continues a seething hatred of Alina. So my plan...I say, look Brenda, I'm not going to cause a tie when Kelly S did nothing, and Alina did nothing to me. Of course I let Brenda know what Alina did to her, was fucked up, cause...lol, I don't want people to think I'm in love with what Alina is doing to OTHERS.

Anyway, I let her know I would not force a tie, won't make any promises to her, but that i would vote with whatever pair is not voting me. If that is you and Kelly S., great, Alina goes and I'll support it....if that is you and Alina...fine, Kelly S. goes, no problemo. BUT, I told her, if those two girls are voting you....then I have to do it.

DARN IT BRENDA, then I just HAVE to vote you out. And you sounded like you understood....great, because I believe that's exactly what is going to happen.

Anyway, if in the revote if I vote Brenda and it ties, I'll flip and vote out whoever is in the tie to keep that word to Brenda. Besides, I have a final 2 with Jane that I'm sure she wants to pretend is real now, and in that new situation all gloves are off and I am going to work HARD to act like my alliance with Jill matters more than it really does to me.

But...I think Brenda will just go 3-1. I'll of done exactly what I said I would...Brenda will hopefully understand my position, especially after she herself spilled all the beans on the alliances she had that I was MORE than aware of, and alas, I will get her jury vote as I skate on forward to the end.

We'll see though! Survivor looooves to makes things tough on a guy

Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: if they vote like hardcore strategy they vote you
Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: i feel like no one is gonna be at a zone that's like "yeah...benry...sure"
Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: hahaha
Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: but whatever
Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: im just having fun with it
Deetman91 [5:24 P.M.]: i think we have a path to the end
Deetman91 [5:25 P.M.]: and if we make it there after all this since our first tc
Deetman91 [5:25 P.M.]: that's just epic win
LHmascot07 [5:25 P.M.]: holly pisses me off when she liked that post about kelly b. calling me a snake
LHmascot07 [5:25 P.M.]: um
LHmascot07 [5:25 P.M.]: i never ONCE spoke with holly
LHmascot07 [5:25 P.M.]: and if she evens tries to call me out on the jury for that
LHmascot07 [5:26 P.M.]: i will be like "we were never on the same tribe so we never spoke. sorry you decided to chat with others from other tribes while i played the real game"
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: lol
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: yeah that's lucky for you
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: when Dan went I kinda like sold my soul to La Flor for a bit
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: so after that Jimmy T vote Holly probably knows i had no intentions to honor her
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: same to when Jill goes very soon
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: but whatevs
Deetman91 [5:26 P.M.]: we all have our baggage
Deetman91 [5:27 P.M.]: but yeah, idk why she liked that. I think maybe she was just happy to see Kelly B go
Deetman91 [5:27 P.M.]: or she's sippin haterade
LHmascot07 [5:29 P.M.]: idk it is just stupid
Deetman91 [5:29 P.M.]: i think everyone is just jelly
Deetman91 [5:30 P.M.]: but yeah, Holly like...knows nothing about anything with our tribe and what you've been doing within it
Deetman91 [5:30 P.M.]: I'm sure La Flor is gonna be shock when they like realize the intracacies and stuff lmfao
LHmascot07 [5:32 P.M.]: i think we may need to try and win this challenge
LHmascot07 [5:32 P.M.]: brenda is really begging me
LHmascot07 [5:32 P.M.]: minajfanatic
thanks, and i will be waiting your answer about if u will work with me or not, and i´m a loyal person, so if i´m with u u can be sure that i will never vote agains u
Deetman91 [5:43 P.M.]: I just don't know how sincere that is
Deetman91 [5:43 P.M.]: she was basically letting if off when she was like talking to me
LHmascot07 [5:43 P.M.]: i havent heard from yve in a long time
Deetman91 [5:43 P.M.]: that she would vote you our or kelly s
Deetman91 [5:43 P.M.]: if i just gave her the go ahead that i would
LHmascot07 [5:43 P.M.]: are we sure she's with us?
Deetman91 [5:44 P.M.]: so i can't see her stopping that when we get to mingle with Jill/Shannon
Deetman91 [5:44 P.M.]: idk to be honest
Deetman91 [5:44 P.M.]: but she voted with us last time
Deetman91 [5:44 P.M.]: I can't imagine Yve being with Jilly/Shannon
Deetman91 [5:44 P.M.]: or Jane/Brenda though
LHmascot07 [5:44 P.M.]: hmm
Deetman91 [5:45 P.M.]: idk, im just still paranoid about the Jill/Shannon/Brenda/Jane possibility
LHmascot07 [5:45 P.M.]: i know
LHmascot07 [5:45 P.M.]: which is why brenda goes
Deetman91 [5:45 P.M.]: yeah
Deetman91 [5:45 P.M.]: that's what im thinking
Deetman91 [5:45 P.M.]: i wish we had Jane here though
Deetman91 [5:45 P.M.]: instead of Brenda
LHmascot07 [5:46 P.M.]: i know
Deetman91 [5:46 P.M.]: i think that would be best case scenerio
Deetman91 [5:46 P.M.]: but if anything, i think that Jane is harder to trust
Deetman91 [5:46 P.M.]: which might help us with Yve
Deetman91 [5:46 P.M.]: cause at final 7 im sure Brenda would try to get an alliance with whoever is left of the other tribe if the other tribe lost
LHmascot07 [5:46 P.M.]: well we can take brenda out next but jill and shannon have to go after
Deetman91 [5:47 P.M.]: Jane apparently PMed Kelly S too, so I bet she PMed Yve too like...why wasn't I told...wah wah wah
Deetman91 [5:47 P.M.]: and its a complete turnoff when we all know Jane is making like 20 alliances
LHmascot07 [5:47 P.M.]: i know
Deetman91 [5:47 P.M.]: yeah i agree
Deetman91 [5:47 P.M.]: Shannon/Jill in the finals is death
LHmascot07 [5:47 P.M.]: i know
Deetman91 [5:47 P.M.]: whoever isn't immune needs to go
LHmascot07 [5:47 P.M.]: i would be so mad
Deetman91 [5:54 P.M.]: hmm
Deetman91 [5:54 P.M.]: so Jane sent me an interesting PM which tells me that we might need to be careful of Yve, but i think we just act like nothings up with her, which we're already careful of Yve anyway
LHmascot07 [5:54 P.M.]: right
Deetman91 [5:55 P.M.]: but Jane was like to me "hey...so do you trust Yve. I was thinking we could start an alliance of people from our past game"
Deetman91 [5:55 P.M.]: this was the game that i played with her that i told you about
Deetman91 [5:55 P.M.]: but I had no clue that Yve was even in that game
LHmascot07 [5:55 P.M.]: that is interesting
Deetman91 [5:55 P.M.]: so...clearly that talked about that and stuff
LHmascot07 [5:55 P.M.]: i think if all else comes to worse
LHmascot07 [5:55 P.M.]: we could get shannon
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: in either case I am gonna act like I might go for it to both Yve and Jane
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: and find out if they want me gone
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: but tell them that we cannot let Shannon/Jill get to the end no matter what
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: yeah
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: so that they will stick on it til 5
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: then we just...deal with them both
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: right and then we can have majority
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: whoever isn't immune/is stronger first
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: yeah exactly
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: yve
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: is 5th
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: i hve been saying it all season
Deetman91 [5:56 P.M.]: yeah i think so too
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: <3
LHmascot07 [5:56 P.M.]: and i predicted kelly b. would get 9th a while back
Deetman91 [5:57 P.M.]: yeah

Alina is SO EPICALLY cocky, and I love it lol.

I mean...she is doing good, but I could have basically told her this was gonna happen too, but why act cocky about it? I'm gonna let her go on, lol, because when she is cocky, she thinks she's in power, and as long as I give her continuous props and keep talking myself down like I am she hopefully will think that she has a great shot against me in the finals...but I don't know about that, lol.

She might be set that she's losing, but I'm making sure either way she sees that the scorned Espada members, and La Flor are bigger threats. I even tried to say that I have made more people mad than Kelly S. (which I have really). So hopefully she doesn't retract her alliance with me at anytime. Which she shouldn't...she should let me win, lol.

Anyway, as I was saying I wanted Kelly B to go...she never talked to me. Alina actually talked to her! Lol, I don't know if she gets that being cocky about taking out the person in the game who linked her into an alliance while keeping people I have more influence with isn't the most amazing move...even if you planned it out beforehand. But...she's the strategic mastermind so I'll let her enjoy the glory. Although...I should add that I received this PM from her:

"I have work all day and don't have time to figure this out. I don't think it's a safe idea anymore. Get with Yve and Kelly S.....vote for Jill. I am 100% positive that Kelly B has an idol. I can PM on here but no AIM"

I basically responded and put my foot down:

" am on a break between classes right now and I too don't have time to change this up. I'm staying on Kelly B.

Jane told me they are splitting the votes on Shannon and Jill anyway. Yve/Kelly S already like confirmed Kelly B and might not get on to fix that situation so we need to get things on one track."

I should add that I had MORE than enough time to remedy this, and literally told Kelly S and Yve to ignore Alina and stick to it. It would be ALINA to pay the price if they voted one of us, or a La Flor member who I would be fine to see on the jury after "trying" to help them. So yeah! I think people think Alina is totally in control here (fine for now), but in reality I'm doing a lot more than people realize. At the end of the day people will see if things truly do go how I believe they will that almost every move Alina has made has been perfectly in line with what I've wanted from her, and almost always benefited me.

How funny is that?

[Ben "Benry" Henry]

One thing that I love about speaking with Brenda that I didn't notice until she finally started speaking up more....her and Jane hilarious use the SAME EXACT degraded speech. I really think they are from the same age-group or...something, idk, lmfao, but it's really really interesting. It's a lot like the game that I played with Jane that made her make a final 2 with her that in the same exact way ended up with these two people who spoke...like they speak. "I was at friends house"....or.... "I don't know what do to make better" type...stuff. Lol.

Interesting...
