ANNNNNND..... SHE. IS. GONE, FOLKS!!!!! DALLAS IS OFFICIALLY GONE!
ON DALLAS
[/u] Yeah, she "would have been loyal to me", but her plan was to eliminate the 4 "outsiders", a category that I was included in. She was just a shady, annoying, aggressive player. Not even nice. Thank God she's gone. And the reactions were even better than expected - and I mean Dallas' reaction. Honestly, I was laughing reading through her 864 words Rant. Oh my god, what an aggro freak. And she didn't even understand what happened in its entirety. Like how I was always against her and that the Beau thing was just to make her think Watt wasn't doing nothing. WUT AN IDIOT. Slowly but surely making my way to the end is currently what I'm doing and I think it's working great! ON A CORE ALLIANCE[/u] Gloria proposed to make a core alliance within are 7-person alliance (because yeah, Tess randomly turned around and voted against Dallas). As I've said before, I always felt like that core existed in the form of Luca/Gloria/Myself. However, she did say she'd prefer to have a 4th person. I have to say that 3 is not much. And 4 could be good. But she proposed Tess... Tess? TESS?? Really? Wtf Gloglo, she was in the "Evil Girls" you hated so fucking much A DAY AGO. And now she'd be in our core alliance? I can't deny there are advantages to taking her though. Because she's from South Africa, thus missing many important conversations. Because she's a nice person and everybody likes her... WAIT A MINUTE. That's exactly why you DON'T want to take her in your core alliance. I'd rather have Wyatt over Tess anyday. Plus I could control him. But I can't be that blunt with senorita Gloria. Come on, if she does realize that I don't want to bring strong players in our alliance (read as: far), as opposed to her, she'll know I probably wouldn't take her as far as I could. So I don't know how to approach this. I'm really hoping Luca's on my side and wants Wyatt to join us. ON THE IDOLI told Gloria that I had the HII as soon as we got to chat. She sent me there, she trusts me, and I feel like it's only fair for me to tell her. Moreover, it's good for my game, because she would have found out quite soon that I lied if I had said I got a nullifier or something, as soon as someone else got one or that it should have come into play. And that's usually early-merge. And if at the early merge, one of my closest allies finds out I lied to her that way, I just lost all the trust and complicity we had. Plus, she might have info on when to play it. I intend to tell Luca as well, for the same reasons. But if anybody else asks, I just received a vote nullifier. I hate to lie to the whole tribe, but I can't let a huge number of people know I am in possession of the idol. So I had to lie to Tess already :/ It sucks. Hopefully this idol will be more of a blessing than a curse for my game.[/center]

So I talked with Luca and he agrees that we should do like the infamous onions: LAYERS, which was proposed by me for the record.
LAYER 1 - Luca, Gloria, Quincy LAYER 2 - Tess AND Wyatt (seriously, we'll need more than 4 people for our "core alliance". 5 is perfect post-merge) LAYER 3 - Beau and Nick
However, he got me thinking about something I didn't really think about too much before: the swap. I'd be quite shocked if next round wasn't a swap (though that'd be great). And then, we have 1 OR 2 members of the tribe who feel like outsiders and who could turn on the tribe. Ugh. We need to convince Rosemary that we've got her back. Hannah, I don't know if it's even possible.

I don't have THAT much time so I'll do my confessional in bullet point form.
- Hannah and Tess worked so fricking hard for the last challenge. They really did a good job even though we lost - The vote seemed tobe between Hannah and Rose, ad an easy vote, since they voted for Wyatt last Judgement - Hannah is stronger in challenges and that could be scary since next challenge is individual. But she worked hard so we'd feel bad eliminating her. - Gloria and Tess told me Hannah was gunning for me. - Hannah did say it was true, because of my power, but that she's willing to consider other options to save her ass, like eliminating Rosemary. - THEN I got important information from Wyatt. He says that Hannah/Rose aren't really voting against me but that they're gunning for Gloria. AND that they have Tess' and Beau's vote. - So we need to make sure Nick is with us.
I didn't expect to have a close vote this time. It sucks. (I'll post what I think of all of this more in depth later)

Well I think that image represents it quite accurately: We're a huge clusterfuck, an incredible trainwreck. I mean, really, a 4-4-1 tie on Round 3?? For our second Judgement?? What the fuck, seriously? Napa might just be swept away later on if we can't stay unified. It's a pity. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in what happened. First, Hannah should have been eliminated. No question about it. You've seen what she's able to do: Challenge warrior, Sociable, AND more importantly able to do strategic prowesses. You gotta give it to the girl. She was able to turn a 7-2 certain vote against her to an uncertain outcome, where her safety is not in jeopardy at all. Anyway, I'm quite happy to have Wyatt by my side. His info about Beau/Tess was really useful and an eye-opener. Also, the whole blow-up with Gloria was a consequence of all of this. It kind of just helped making a clearer image of the tribe dynamics. ON BEAU AND TESS FLIPPINGYou know what? I kinda get it. I always thought Gloria's decision of sending me to Death Valley was kind of dumb. I mean, Beau ASKED to go. We all agreed he would. And then without telling him, Gloria turns around and sends someone else. For no good apparent reasons. And Gloria kind of came down hard on him. Love the girl, but she's the most subtle person on earth. Additionnally, Beau did tell me that he was still with us, with me more importnatly. But he just can't work with Gloria. So it's good. I feel like I can still influence him later on. That one is harder to process. We were in the process of making her our core ally!! She'd have been strong with us and in a good position. But she decides to keep lying to us and flip? It makes me sad. The line is drawn and she's on the other side. I won't forget that. I want revenge. I feel confident Rosemary will go though. The whole thing was dumb. The vote should have been 5-4 in the first place but there ws bad communication and Wyatt thought we'd eliminate Hannah, like we should have. So yeah, I don't think I'l be in too much danger. It's just that our tribe is so fractured and divided that hitting the swap or the merge is scary. I don't know if we'll be able to pull through, especially if Cascade is a united front. No tribe is but if the votes were like 9-1, 8-1, it'd suck for us.
