Joanna is absolutely right. Why do they need to risk keeping Ted around? It's an unnecessary risk. Ted's arrogance is really getting the better of him though. His idea of playing a fake idol (wtf?) makes sums up his game for me. Unnecessary gamebot tactics for attention. I hope he snaps out of it and plays the idol tonight.

The two work threads are hilarious tonight.

And Jeanne is amazing, Ugh I feel so sorry for her fighting against the tide of throw.

Ryan is working it tonight in PMs, showing good awareness of his position too, but unfortunately, he will be hard-pressed getting th numbers to be successful.

Although Ted isn't as stupid as Shawna is treating him;

Shawna/Ted PM wrote:

Shawna: Jeanne and Ryan want to join us and make it a 4strong vote against Daniel, i said i'd talk to you and see if you were onboard, i say you become the bad cop and say not and propose we vote out Ryan instead and have Daniel take is place in our alliance, if she agrees we should be ok, if she doesn't, we burn one bridge but we still have the upper had so we are ok.

What do you think? Are you ok with being the bad cop?

Ted: That's very confusing. If Daniel and Ryan are both willing to work with us, why are we turning them on each other?

Shawna: Right now they are the only ones without clear alliances we don't want that, those are the ones likely to flip on us once we merge.

Ted: But aren't they looking for a solid alliance with us?

Maybe Jeanne is..

Shawna/Jeanne PM wrote:

Shawna: I'm still waiting to hear back from Ted but i'm not so sure about Ryan, you can believe this or not but Ryan is telling me he wouldn't mind voting you out, Daniel is his first target but you are the second.

Ted agreed with me/you/Ted/Ryan alliance so Ryan is ok with you staying for now but it looks to me like he sees you as a target in the long run. What do you think? Are you willing to align with him to vote out Daniel and deal with Ryan later?

Ted/Ryan/Jeanne could flip this tribe on it's head if they could manage to recruit Daniel. I doubt he'd go for it though..

Shawna would hear all about it though, and would protect the Bitches somehow I hope..

Jeanne:We could vote off Daniel. I could pretend, like I really trust Ryan because of it, but get him out right after Dan.

But that is interesting. He told me Daniel was talking to him about voting me out, thus the reason, i was even targeting Dan first. Plus, I do not recall Dan ever posting in a challenge. I was good to Ryan. 2 days ago, i warned him, he would be gone very soon, if he did not start showing up. I told him, if he did start pulling his weight, Dan would go. At this point we can go one of two ways...

1) Go back to the original Vote for Ryan plan, with the other 3.

or

2) Get rid of Dan with Ted, me, you ,and Ryans votes. And throw off Ryan, and get him out next.

I am ok with either.

After that, we hopefully merge.

Tonight's information exchange is gold-dust in both camps.

Oh God I've tried to rank the players about six times now and I'm finding it impossible to rate the likes of Brian's sound strategy game versus Jeanne's underdog status versus the raw emotion of Jake versus Penny's entertainment value.. ugh. As a result this is all over the place and changes by the minute. The only real solid spots for me are Daniel as worst on all fronts and Joanna/Shawna jostling for top pair;

16: Daniel
--gap--
15: Butch
14: Ken
--gap--
13: Ryan
12: Jan
11: Jake
--gap--
10: Helen
9: Christy
8: Brian
--gap--
7: Rob
6: Jeanne
5: Erin
4: Ted
3: Penny
--gap--
2: Shawna
1: Joanna

I will try finish the mid-early game summaries this evening.. maybe.

Joanna for fan favorite icon_wub

What an unlikely, unlikable character icon_laughing

PS. Bitches of Eastwick is now the confirmed name for their alliance.

Main problem I have with the "underdogs" Jeanne and Ryan is that they have all the pieces and angles they need, but they are doing NOTHING to help themselves. What does targeting Daniel do? You two obviously know you're on the outs and will remain that way for the remainder of the game. Ryan says he would rather go 11th, and go fighting, than be a goat. That's fair, but he isn't fighting at all. I just want to wake these dumbasses up. A big move isn't taking out another person who is on the outs.

If Ryan and/or Jeanne survive this vote and don't flip at some point, I'll be disgusted.

I don't know if they can actually save themselves at this point? One of them is a goner tonight - likely Ryan. It's pretty much a too little too late story. Had they been exchanging the chunky PMs of last night a few days ago, they might be in with a shout but as it stands; They believe they have Shawna (they don't), they aren't even considering using Daniel (he's too wrapped by the girls anyways) and Ted is a little aloof and likely to only chase his own game.

I can't see where they can get four numbers from, and they certainly can't see it.
