SOME QUESTIONS THE VIEWERS AT HOME MIGHT ASK ABOUT THE SOON TO BE WINNER SEMHAR!!!!
Why did Semhar vote out Laura?
I thought I was toast with a capital T. To keep Tapoli unified, I would've been the ideal vote that round. So I let Caryn + Laura tell me that they were voting out Caryn, then I told Ibe that they were telling me this. Then, when the votes were shut off, I just told everyone how I was voting. I figured that I would cause distrust between Rachel/Laura and Caryn/Ibe, WITH NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH MIGHT I ADD, so that I could last another round.
Yes, the idol was a concern, which is why I didn't do my announcement immediately. But I figured Rachel was useless at everything including finding idols, so I took my chances. Turns out... Ibe had the idol all along, so things worked out for me in the long run huh? I made merge, that's what matters. I felt it was a necessary gamble because I couldn't see a reason why Laura or Rachel would possibly want Caryn out (unless they disliked her), but I could see a reason as to why Ibe/Caryn would want Laura out.
Why did you tell everyone that your partner was Hayden?
I was misinformed and it bit me in the ass. I was told that Rachel's partner was Kim or something, and Ibe's partner was Marissa or something. Turns out it was technically true, but I meant other kinds of partners! grr!!
So yeah, I told Caryn + Ibe that in order to gain trust and create a group of 4. Didn't work. Hayden was leaving anyways, so all it really did was open my eyes to Caryn + Ibe being sneaky sneaky. Of course. Rachel and Ibe were partners too, so why didn't Caryn gun for Rachel? It's because Caryn and Ibe are close, that's why.
TBH we probably would've only gone to one tribal had we voted out Rachel first. She was useless. Her and Caryn. Both of them are useless. I cannot think of a single use for either of them.
So you merged, what now?
Make Ibe think I'm close to him. Make Becky and Coby think I'm close with them. Make Cochran and Ralph think I'm close with them. Make Vytas think he and I are a thing. Just make everyone thing we're close.
Then I wreck shit up.
But I gotta worry about getting caught. The only person I feel like is 100% with me is Cochran at the moment.
As far as plans go, I'll see what a majority of the group wants to do, and then decide if it's in my best interest. Honestly, if it's any of the rookies, then I'm fine. If it's not one of the rookies, then I might need to do some dabbling or maybe kiss an ally goodbye.
How is your game changing?
The beginning of the game creates your reputation. I tried to make myself as reputable as possible for that first half of the game, as I did in Namibia. Forgiving Ibe and Caryn (I haven't forgiven them), being honest, wanting to be allied with people. I'm trying to get people to realize I'm with them so that I never leave.
Then, I tug the strings around. I know where one idol is, so I can use that without using if ifyaknowhatimean. I basically need to lay low for as long as possible.
Ohshit as I type this out, Katie turns out to be a CHEATAH. Thouhts?
Fuck her. I didn't have her in my plans in the first place.
But srsly, she should know people read that shit. YOU HOSTS ARE INVESTED IN THIS GAME, AND CARE PASSIONATELY ABOUT IT! give me an idol?
How would you rank your tribe?
Cochran
--
gap
--
Ibe (but i want him out soon)
Coby
Becky
Ralph
Caryn
--
gap
--
Rachel
--
gap
--
Everyone else
Honestly that middle group with Ibe through to Caryn can change a lot during these first merge rounds.
Plan for the first vote?
Noobie who isn't Rachel. But if it falls on Rachel, then I won't strain my neck.
