Stranded in Portugal

We are going to have a horrible winner one way or another

Maybe not horrible, but not exactly worthy either.

Personally most want to win;
1. Semhar
2. Marissa
3. Vytas
4. Cochran
5. Ibrehem
6. Shawn

Likeliness to win a Jury vote;
1. Marissa
2. Semhar
3. Ibrehem
4. Vytas
5. Shawn
6. Cochran

Likeliness to get to the F2;
1. Cochran
2. Shawn
3. Ibrehem
4. Vytas
5. Semhar
6. Marissa



Bloody F2s

Final 2s suck so much ass. If I had been involved in the process of deciding this, I would have pulled all the stops to NOT make it happen. It was so unnecessary.

Also, in my opinion, ANY player who DOESN'T want to take Shawn out from here on out is a huge idiot and will get an asterisk next to their name if they win. Not taking him out is a shitty move for everyone because rather than fighting your odds to make it to the end while duking it out for one position, people should be wanting to increase their odds by opening up two slots. But they won't because they think it'll be a Final 3 and Shawn will get to the end for sure.

:/ UGH

A magnificent season such as this can't finish with a 'crappy' winner :( Of this F6 the ONLY person I don't want to see in the F2 in Shawn. The rest of them have a case to make ~at the very least~

Semhar - obviously she is perfection.
Marissa - also perfection but she's more likely to win the F3 challenge - if it's jury quotes, her survey performance makes this pretty awesome for her.
Vytas - I am just against him getting to the end because..... I have to listen to him talk about it. He's already telling me I should start taking notes because ~this~ is how you win, etc. Like bitch, I know how to play US Stranded
Cochran - poor Coch he was amaze and turned into a potato. He's just erratic and kind of all over the place and isn't doing well at TC. He's making statements that imply he thinks he's HBIC and the other players think he's retarded because of it. :(
Ibe - who? You are soooo under the radar at the moment it hurts. Even in Vytas' boys club alliance he is number 4, and is only not being considered for boot by him because Sem/Marissa are fabulosity personified females.
Shawn - go away.

Sem is trying to start a Cochran train jic of the idol. Obviously she knows better than to tell Vytas this.

Problems though;
-Marissa really wants to boot Vytas and not Cochran. Or at least Shawn.
-Shawn is gonna want to break up Ibe/Marissa first since Vytas is telling him they are pushing his name.

Go Semhar go! Songle-handedly set up a hot endgame!

Okay so looking at the PMs overnight and confessionals, there's not much movement but there's a little in what I would say is a redeemable direction. Sorry to Cochran later when he reads this, but I do fear votes on Vytas or Marissa here and Marissa leaves and more chance we end up with an "well who was less bad?" FTC decision between two of Cochran, Shawn, & Ibe (Ibe mightn't even win that somehow). But if Cochran (or Shawn) does leave here, then a better chance at a proper fight at FTC.

So I asked Vytas if he'd consider playing the idol on whoever is getting the votes (i.e. Shawn he will think). He says maybe but he means no.

And I asked Shawn about who he believes and who he trusts and he seems to trust Marissa the most, which would mean he probably thinks Cochran & Vytas are lying about her pushing his name - which is true of course

The other big thing is that Shawn is telling Marissa/Ibe that he'd prefer to see Cochran go than Vytas. Which mean he and Sem are now both saying that. I don't think anyone is actually considering the idol is in play yet except Cochran. But if they were to get the votes on Cochran instead of Vytas they'd likely unintentionally avoid the idol which would be beautiful <3

Cochran to leave and Marissa to probably turn on Shawn next round because she's so very afraid of "all his friends" in the Jury? Oh that would be perfect. If Cochran left followed by Shawn I don't think we can have a bad winner.
