Okay, so here what's happened:
Rob overplayed. He tried to mastermind this vote, but... he fell short. He worked on Penny to vote with us again Helen and me later. He worked Brian to vote against threats (me and Helen). He worked Helen to get rid of goats (Penny and Joanna). But he failed to realize something he should've realized looong time ago: these people will compare notes, talk shit, and of you tell three different stories to three of them, then you can be considered done. Apparently I have to thank Penny for keeping me safe, because she changed the vote from me to Rob last minute. I assume that's why you asked me why I don't say anything at TC.
I don't consider my survival luck though. It was a call based on past behaviour, and I made sure that it was in Penny's best interest to keep me. I haven't talked with Helen and Brian about voting her out - I only talked to her. That's why she felt like she could count on me this round, while she knew how shady Rob was and she knew that he'd pull some kind of stunt. It may have been a last minute change, but this was always going to happen.
It's so fitting that me and Jo are the final two asterians standing. The first two to arrive. Those who have been aligned this whole game. Funny thing - if Asteria would've stick together, I have a feeling that the final two would be this pair. Not Dan and Shawna or Rob and me. Me and Jo. It was always going to be us. Everyone who flipped on us - gone!
At this point our only option is too boot Helen with the help of Penny, and if she claims that she's not stupid, she will vote with us tonight. So we really need Helen not winning immunity tonight. If she wins, I'm done. It doesn't make any sense for Penny to vote Brian off. Whatever, fifth place is respectable. But I'm not going to give up.
I can feel the win. I came so close yet I'm so far. If I could win two immunities, I feel like I'd be given the win over anyone but Helen. Sure, only one merge-council went my way so far, but I can bullshit. Not the perfect game for sure, but I get the feeling that I'm percieved as a threat, so I can capitalize on that. I just need to win immunity. Twice preferably. I don't know what would happen at the F4 if Helen is booted this round, but I'd rather not risk. I keep telling myself that I can win this thing.
