Congrats on the final 7!!!

Another TC, another blindside. Do you think the trend will continue for the next TC?

What's the plan for tomorrow?

How do you think the minority voters will react?

I said I'd try to turn Erin against Helen after that TC, but too much other stuff is going on. I'll work on it with her at final 6. I have to be careful because Helen now stalks the online list all the time and may see it coming.

There's a good chance the me or Helen could be the targets next round: going home with the majority of votes or being idoled out. Helen's emotions actually seem to be getting the best of her; she doesn't even want to continue lying to Rob! I think it's because she's disliking Penny and her craziness so much and sees the logic and rationale in Rob's posts. The thing is, Rob is 100% playing EVERYONE. Every single message is fake, and he's attempting to use emotional manipulation to advance himself. The only reason he's still here is because he has the idol.

I want Christy gone here, personally, but I'll see how names come up and if hers comes up anyway before attempting to shift it to her.

That was a random block. Will get to the questions later.

I have sucky relationships with all these people, and I'm contemplating betraying the one who I bond with and trust the most.

I need to find my identity in this game before it's too late. And Helen, of course proposed the idea of the two of us disassociating. That actually might help me ease Erin into the plan to turn her against Helen, or Helen's superficiality with helping me portray the plan may make it worse.

I'm here now for the day and hoping to individually speak to Erin about long-term plans at some point.

No, I don't think this next vote will be a blindside. I think everyone's realizing how these previous blindsides have gone down, so they'll be expecting it coming and prepared for it if it does. I'd say the targets are likely going to be one of Rob/Christy/Joanna and then one of me/Helen. I think my lack of communication with some of the cast as of late will take away my "using Helen as a shield" angle and perhaps increase the likelihood of me being targeted because other players may not think I'm flexible enough to work with. Which is why Helen will hopefully go right after one of the remaining three Asterian players. Then at F5, I've got a great shot to make finals and hopefully win in an amazing final tribal council performance.

The plan is for the Helios 4 to vote out one of the Asterian 3 and hope the idol isn't played for tonight. That's basically it. If we can't accomplish this, Helen or I will go home (likely) and there's a good chance of the Asterian group making final 3.

And the minority voters, as usual since Helen and I have lied the last three votes, act shocked, surprised, confused, but they'll put emotions aside and continue to come up with the best angles for making strategic moves soon enough. Rob's again trying to manipulate Helen and doing a poor job at it. He's running out of options, so what he's doing is so predictable and obviously fake.

You said you relationship with these people are "sucky" so what is stopping you from improving it? This game isn't close to over yet.

Helen's trying to convince me that I'd probably beat her in the finals and that I have a great chance of getting the Asterian jury votes. She just tries way too hard, and it really annoys me.

I have the intention of improving my relationship with these people, with the possible exception of the person who we target tonight on Asteria. I need to talk to Erin first about things, and then we may set up an interesting final 6 scenario. I really want to work with Rob again. As crazy as that sounds. And then I want to screw him over again. And not to be evil for the sake of being evil. I see a lot of great strategic possibilities opening up for myself whenever Helen leaves.

I'm in danger tonight though. Gotta' stop that.

Vote prediction:

3 votes Christy, 3 votes Brian or Helen, 1 vote Rob --- Rob plays the idol on Christy, and Brian or Helen goes home.

Once again, I did practically nothing today. -_- Besides being available for Helen to complain about other people to.

Ugly, ugly night coming. It's going to come down to luck, and a possible tiebreaker.

I am so off with these questions tonight.

Helen won immunity, so the target will be me. Eek. Yet I'll remain as quiet as ever because scrambling would do nothing to help my case.
