Stranded in Portugal

Final eight!

Are you surprised you made it this far?

What are your chances of winning the game?

Who is the biggest threat to win at this point?

There was a lot of back and forth at Tribal Council up until the voting deadline. Any thoughts on this?

Final eight!

THAT IS AWESOME!

Are you surprised you made it this far?

Kind of, but no, I know I'm talented enough to reach the end, I just haven't done it yet.

What are your chances of winning the game?

Well, we'll see. I have to play this the best I know how and with these people it's gonna be tricky.

Who is the biggest threat to win at this point?

A lot of these people are threats to be honest, I could go into it more soon.

There was a lot of back and forth at Tribal Council up until the voting deadline. Any thoughts on this?

Just voting confusion, and I hated I was a part of it at the beginning. I hope these people hate each other more than they hate me. Time to do damage control.

What I want more than anything is to win this next immunity challenge. Because then I'll be guaranteed 7th Place. and then 6th Place because of my talisman. That would be so great to reach what I did last time and (hopefully) beat that placement.

And I've still voted with the majority each time! Pat on the shoulder for Ibe.

Talk to me about voting blocs.

They've been kind of all over the place, I'm just hopping around with the majority.

Marissa/Rachel seem to be together? So that's a thing I've been watching out for. It doesn't really feel like the right time to make a move against either of them considering Marissa just got a talisman and Rachel is my friend. We'll see what happens. I feel like it could be smart to go to the end with Rachel. She always struck me as a great goat. I don't think I've ever put Rachel's name out there as a viable target for elimination for that reason. Marissa is a big threat.

Vytas and Cochran are friends and I'd love to see one of them gone next. That's how I want this next vote to go, at least. I don't want to see them slip by any longer. I kind of want it to be Vytas?

Coby has friends on the Jury, so we gotta watch out for that. He's kind of jumping around alliances as well.

Semhar is an African goddess and she-beast. She fits the Stranded winner mold, so she's probably gonna have to go at some point if I want to win. She's a good friend though. I don't know what voting bloc she's in, but

Shawn is there also. I'm really hoping the newbs don't have a thing.

I really need to talk to Rachel lol.

She crosses everyone and I can't really see a better choice of person to try to take to the end.

What are you going to do with the talisman? Treat it like the idol and dump it pronto or try hang onto it for a while?

I wish I could hang onto it for a while, but my gut says play it right away. I said I would, so... That strategy worked the first time.

Anyway best case scenario is winning immunity, so I can definitely hold onto it for another round.

Shoot. It's looking like it could be Coby tonight. I kind of wanted it to be Shawn.

Who is calling the shots?

It looks like Marissa.

I feel like this is a round I can be a little more honest because I'm immune either way.

I want to flip the script on Marissa, just don't know when. Vytas just said he'd be looking to do that too. Guess we'll see later.

I feel so light-headed right now. But wow!!! That means I'm guaranteed to at least tie my placement in Costa Rica. Yayayay!!

Rachel suddenly wants me to play my talisman on her. Uh, no.

If everyone thinks we be great friends and wants to split us up fine, me playing my talisman on her ain't winning me nothing that way except more of a target. And keeping it gets me at least Final 6. Not giving it up.

I'm worried because I don't think the vote is going Coby's way, oh well.
