Wow, this has definitely been an interesting first week.

First, Emmy suggested an alliance with me, her, Tobin, Betty, and Chris. Problem is that I have a final 2 alliance with Melky. I agreed to the 5 person alliance but I have to incorporate Melky into the alliance somehow.

Then I discovered that Chris is completely unreliable (no offense to him) in the challenge and everyone agreed that we want him gone. So, in case Chris somehow has the hidden immunity, we're having a vote or so for Josh as well.

Then Betty came to me with a counter alliance to the Emmy-Tobin alliance for later on. I told her that I would keep it in mind for later, because she does have a good point and I can get Melky into this alliance as well. However, we should be good for right now.

Final 2 Partner: Melky
Majority Alliance: Emmy, Tobin, Betty
Neutral: Billy, Josh
Main Enemy: Chris
Tribal Enemies: Edward, Jensen, Justin, Kelly, New York, Nick, Rob, Sandra
Me: Wayne

So, everything is going well, we won the 2nd immunity challenge. But now, Tobin came up with me suggesting that we watch each other's backs because he's starting to not trust Josh, who apparently offered him Final 2 but is close to Emmy and Betty. What the heck...who do we trust? I'm going to say that whether Josh has an alliance or not, he or Billy will be the next to go if we go to Tribal Counsel.....hopefully.

Final 2 Partner: Melky
Majority Alliance: Emmy, Tobin (counter alliance?), Betty (counter alliance?)
Main Enemies: Billy, Josh
Tribal Enemies: Edward, Jensen, Justin, Kelly, New York, Nick, Rob, Sandra
Me: Wayne
Doomed: Chris

LOL! I <3 your little summaries at the end of your posts.

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

lol thanks. These really help me remember what everyone's position is in this game.

Great 3rd week. I managed to get a clue to the hidden immunity, which I will try to figure out later on tonight, and immunity from this Tribal Council. Ironically, the "main alliance" also got immunity, which leaves Billy, Josh, and Melky to vote off. Based on performance, Billy is definitely the one to go. I'm a little bit concerned with the fact that he may have a hidden immunity because of the box at the beginning, which may result in Josh (hopefully) or Melky (hopefully not) going, but the odds are 1/14, and with those odds, we might as well go for it. I personally have nothing to lose, but I'm concerned with my Final 2 partner, Melky.

Final 2 Partner: Melky
Majority Alliance: Emmy, Tobin (counter alliance?), Betty (counter alliance?)
Main Enemy: Billy
Neutral: Josh
Tribal Enemies: Edward, Jensen, Justin, Kelly, New York, Nick, Sandra
Me: Wayne
Doomed: Chris
Zombie: Rob

EDIT: Actually, technically, it's 1/13 because I know I don't have the immunity idol. However, that's still under 10% chance.

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

Take where we are...in the...hmm...

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

Wow, someone already found the hidden immunity? And by the looks of it...it was found during check-in time!

I mean, that password was easy, but I didn't think it would be THAT easy! Phew lol

Okay, so, now I know there are 2 Hidden Immunities in play. 2/13 are still pretty good odds, but we have to be on our toes even more.

Week 4 Part 1

All right, merge. This is honestly scary.

First off, Tobin came up to me, saying that someone voted for Melky and WASN'T Billy because he wasn't on. We exchanged screenshots to prove our innocence...but honestly, Tobin's doesn't exactly prove he is innocent. It shows the post time but doesn't show the current time which may mean that he altered the time of post to 4 hours before.

Betty then came up and told me she thinks the same I did, that Tobin is lying. Then she proposed a 3-way Final 3 alliance with me Betty and Emmy. White, Black, and Brown. I agreed...somewhat. I'm not breaking off the Final 2 I have with Melky. Never. But I can use this new alliance to get to Final 4 or 5. Besides, I can't exactly say no to it.

Now, we're in 3 tribes of 4...and this is very bad. In our tribe is, ironically, me, Emmy, Betty, and Sandra. This would be good, except according to Betty, she has to SHARE the hidden immunity with Sandra as per the rules. And if Betty or Sandra get evicted, so does the hidden immunity. So if our tribe loses, either Emmy or I go. Most likely me. I can't let this happen.

After this, who the hell knows...

Final 2 Partner: Melky
Final 3 Alliance: Emmy and Betty
Hidden Immunity Sharer?: Sandra
Possible Alliance with Betty: Josh, Jensen, Justin
Possible Original Alliance: Tobin
Former Original Kiskadees: Edward, New York, Nick
Brady not Tom: Wayne
Brown: Chris
Zombie: Rob
Miller: Billy
The Other One: Kelly

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

Best case scenario just happened for us. Our tribe is safe and Melky's tribe is safe, so someone is going home that I have no alliance with. If I had to guess, it's either Edward or Phil because of Josh and Jensen's supposed alliance.

We just have to keep winning, because if we don't, the Final 3 alliance is going to be in a lot of trouble.

Instead of putting down things like Final 2 alliance, I will place the 3 tribes so I can remember better.

1st: Limbo: Wayne, Emmy, Betty, Sandra
2nd: Hoodoo Melky, Tobin, Justin, New York
3rd: Diablo Josh, Jensen, Edward, Nick
4th: Pre-Jury Kelly, Billy, Rob, Chris

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

Okay, as a little side note before I started, I didn't predict Josh would be going home. Now on to the main thing.

And now worst case scenario just happened for us, we're at Tribal Counsil. Me being the overly analytical person that I am, I'm going to map out the scenario here. First, the people involved.

Me. I figure no matter what, we're coming out of this with an alliance. It's just a matter now of making the best alliance possible. And by far the worst person for that is Sandra, her being very inactive.
Emmy, who's in the same boat as me. Claims she is voting Sandra as well.
Betty, who I'm sure has an idol, shared or not. Also claims she is voting Sandra.
Sandra, who is very inactive and maybe sharing the idol. Vote unknown or even existant at this point.

Betty has an idol and is active, so it's very unlikely that she is going tonight. No one has been wanting me to vote out Emmy, so that's also unlikely. Considering everyone votes tonight (or if only Sandra doesn't), there are 4 possibilities that can happen.

1. Betty doesn't play the idol, Emmy tells the truth, and the 3 of us vote Sandra out like planned.
2. Betty doesn't play the idol, Emmy tells the truth, but Betty and Sandra vote for one of us, causing a 2-2 tie, which would come down to a tiebreaker.
3. Betty doesn't play the idol, but my tribe turns on me, causing me to be eliminated.
4. Sandra has an idol from the box at the beginning, causing me (most likely) be eliminated.
5. Betty plays the idol on Sandra, causing me (most likely) to be voted out by minimal votes.


---Of course, 1 is definitely most preferred.
---2, however, I can probably survive as well if I'm the one chosen by Betty and Sandra to be voted out. I can probably win against Sandra in a tiebreaker. This scenario probably won't happen, because it seems like a bad move if I was Betty or Sandra, but it can still happen.
---3 and 4 I can also accept. 3 I can accept, because I think it would be a toss up between 3 active players vs 2 actives with an idol. Either would be good, and if the tribe decides that the 2 with idol is the best, then that's fine. 4 as well. While I can't exactly say it would be the best for the alliance, I wouldn't blame Sandra for trying to save herself. If she had a box that she could use, then yeah, that would actually be pretty good, but yeah.
---5 would tick me off though. I think using an idol on an inactive person when she can easily get another one down the line seems like a stupid move in my opinion. I hope this doesn't happen.

I want to say 1, 3 or 4 is most likely to happen here, but I'll hold my breath. Wayne Brady needs a lot of luck in my opinion.

Final 2 Partner: Melky
Final 3 Alliance?: Emmy and Betty
Main Enemy: Sandra
Possible Alliance After Merge: Tobin, Jensen
Gone: Josh

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

Wow, this tribal worked out perfectly. I pleasantly surprised. The whole vote for Betty surprises me though. Either Sandra really doesn't like her or Betty and Sandra each got a self-vote. Which makes me wonder if Betty still has an idol or not...if I had to guess, she has an individual one to use still, but we'll wait and see.

Speaking of immunities, if this IC were on Let's Make a Deal, that would be a nontuple Zonk. I had a feeling something like this would happen after I picked my box, but I figured there might be a Hidden Immunity involved in a box, so I thought I might as well go for it. Turns out Betty won immunity for that one by not picking a box, which is actually great for us. What's even better, though, is the fact that Edward quit. That is perfect, because after this Tribal, if we get one person in our group...preferably Melky , we would be at a 4/8 advantage. We would dominate, and I would be in almost a perfect position to launch my plan to try to get me and Melky to the Final 2 and maybe win this game!

Final 2: Melky
Supposed Final 3: Emmy, Betty
Possible Add-Ons: Tobin, Jensen, Justin(?)
Not Possible Add-Ons: New York, Nick
Me: Wayne
Banned?!: Edward
Pre-Jury: Sandra, Josh, Kelly, Billy, Rob, Chris

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

...or I WOULD...except Betty figured out that I have a Final 2 with Melky. I made a lame attempt to try to hide it, but that didn't work. I thought she would be planning to vote me off, but I was wrong. She's planning to get rid of Melky to get rid of my safety net.

...

FML.

I guess it was (regrettably) for the best (my game-wise) that I told her, because I have a feeling it would be either me or Melky going after this vote. I can see her reasoning behind it though. She wants to make sure I don't backstab her at the end (which she guessed correctly as well), and we still have the numbers if Tobin is with us. She even said she would rather be voted out early than backstabbed. In other words, she wants the deserving players to get to the end.

Even though I personally think Melky is deserving and HATE this vote off, I do love Betty's logic. She is going BEYOND the social game Survivor is made out to be, and that this game is not just about pure alliances making it to the end, but skill as well......she is a very good player. Very good indeed.

So, I'm back to square one for my plans. I'll try to figure out some way to win this...hopefully. I know this though. If she doesn't get voted out and us 3 make it to the end, I won't win the game unless I win a LOT of challenges. I guess that will be my plan for now...it will be tough though. (sighs) Here goes nothing!

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

What Betty said made me think last night(what a shock), and what she said made me have a change of heart so to speak. I've never really liked the fact that alliances, not great players, are the ones that make it to the end. The only reason I've really made alliances was to survive, because I found that if you make one mistake, you're usually gone. It all made me wonder what it would be like to have it just be a challenge-based game. While I'm completely aware that I'm still in an alliance right now, and if our 3-way alliance makes it to the end it proves what I've been saying about alliances ruling, I can ALSO make it my mission to prove to everyone that challenges are a main part of this game as well.

Since our 3-way alliance has a good chance to make it to the end and since they're (or Betty's, at least) trying to make sure the best players get to the end, I've decided that unless something EXTREME happens to make me vote Betty or Emmy off, I will not take the dishonorable way and backstab them at all like I originally planned. It may be a bad move on my part, but I've decided that if I'm going to win this game, I'm going to prove it to my alliance and everyone else by winning the most challenges. I feel like I owe it to them, since they're doing the same for me. I'll make sure that whoever wins DESERVES to win! I'll prove myself to everyone and become the winner of this game!

...I know I'm being overly dramatic right now and maybe not making sence, but I don't care lol. In fact, I'll do it again lol

8 contestants...1 winner. I'll make sure it's me.

Okay, I'm done now lol

My 7 Competitors
Final 3: Emmy, Betty
With Us for Now: Tobin
Main Target: (due to tiebreaker votes) Justin
Other Targets: New York, Nick, Jensen

First Jury?: Melky
Sorry Melky's Voted Off: Wayne

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

...what a good start Wayne. Not only did you let Betty win by 1, now she's saying Justin has hidden immunity and are voting New York out instead.

This game surely is a roller coaster ride of luck and bad luck.

Mostly the same stats for now.

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

And now it's just gone downhill lol.

Well, this immunity was interesting. Tobin is very quick with collecting points. The Tribal Counsil was interesting too. So it's down to 6.

Having a cold is not fun.

Final 3: Emmy and Betty
Final 4: Tobin
Final 6 (pfft): Justin and Nick

[(Wayne Brady) plugthelaptopin]

When the auction ended, I was very pleased about how it went. All 4 of the Final 4 each got a box, and I didn't get a self-vote, thanks to Tobin bidding 10 on the final box.

The only problem is, the box I chose was empty.

The sad part is, I knew that would happen too. I think I smashed a mirror on accident without realizing it. Or something lol

Anyway, we're trying to vote out Justin. Whether or not he has an idol, I feel it's a good move. If he doesn't, he's gone, but if he does, the worst thing that can happen is if me or Emmy are gone thanks to Justin's and Nick's votes. I explained this to Emmy too. Nick is not on our side, Tobin is only our Final 4, and Betty is a freaking powerhouse. Let's see how it goes.
