Episode Fourteen~

[Michelle]

What an interesting turn of events this has been tonight. We went into Tribal Council thinking that we were going to have 2 votes within 48 hours of each other and came out with just 2 people gone in 24 hours.

The first vote was extremely split and I had to laugh knowing Austin left this game on the time I didn't vote for him to leave. There is much irony in the world in that happening. It also though showed that he ended up getting caught in the middle of things and pushed his hand a little too hard. You can't play all sides and have all sides know you're playing them and then expect to go far.

Then of course Danielle pulls out her idol and puts it on her neck, then Heidi pulls out an idol form her bag, and within a couple of minutes the vote is literally coming down to Tracy or Yau Man. Then Yau decides to steal Anthony's speech from last season about how deserving someone is of going further then himself and takes himself out of the game. It was noble when Anthony did it, but when someone tries to steal someone else's thunder it just kinda comes off as lame.

In all sincerity while I have to say Yau leaving is a good thing for my game...he also messed it up at the same time. The fact that Yau left without Danielle officially playing her idol hurts me tremendously right now because now I have no choice, but to allow Danielle to get to the Final 4. I probably would have let this happen anyway, but it really puts me more at danger knowing 2 people will be Immune in the Final 5. So Yau kinda allowed Danielle a free pass without probably even realizing it.

It's now down to the Final 5 and I would have never predicted this would be the group I would be at the end with. I certainly now can say that I came here a third time and will place better then I did the two previous times before. I can also say that while I feel my strategic game has been nowhere near my performance in AS2.. My social game could actually give me an edge with some Jury members if I got to the end.

The key to this whole getting to the Final 4 is continuing to work Danielle and make her feel as though my loyalty to her is unbreakable. I think that right now I value Anthony and Danielle in different ways. I think that I have shown loyalty to both of them and that both of them might consider taking me to the end because they think its their best shot at winning. I need to stick with Danielle here though since she holds a good amount of power. I would ideally like to see Anthony in the Final 4 to give me more options and of course to break up the Heidi and Tracy alliance, but I'm not going to risk my game for him at this point. I came here as an individual and I will finish as an individual.

Only one person is going to win this game and I'm going to continue to build a case as to why that should be me if I sit in the end.

Asianxchick90210: Hopefully
Asianxchick90210: I knew they were going to try and take you out
Asianxchick90210: Glad it didn't work
DDanielleDDTF: news!
Asianxchick90210: Yau went right to me and was like "Why did you vote me"
DDanielleDDTF: heidi told me she voted for austin
Asianxchick90210: Right after Austin asked me
DDanielleDDTF: i guess austin did keep me
Asianxchick90210: I don't get it someone is lying
Asianxchick90210: You know I'm not cause I use the same font every vote lol
DDanielleDDTF: lol
DDanielleDDTF: no it makes sense
DDanielleDDTF: votes for austin: mine (changed), yau, tracy, heidi
DDanielleDDTF: votes for yau: you and austin
DDanielleDDTF: votes for me: parv and anthony
DDanielleDDTF: heidi only voted austin because she found out he was going anyway... it doesn't matter though since you and i are both immune this vote
Asianxchick90210: Got it
Asianxchick90210: So she turned on you
Asianxchick90210: I mean she can say that now
DDanielleDDTF: and with my triple, we have majority next round
Asianxchick90210: I dunno regardless we have it
Asianxchick90210: Exactly
Asianxchick90210: So everyone else can lie all they want
DDanielleDDTF: i really don't think she did
Asianxchick90210: I dunno kinda seems a bit flaky
DDanielleDDTF: she was the one who told Amanda about the hacker thing
Asianxchick90210: She can play both sides now and stay safe
DDanielleDDTF: i feel like she wouldn't have reported me
Asianxchick90210: She's in the Final 4
Asianxchick90210: Has been for awhile
DDanielleDDTF: *reported it
DDanielleDDTF: idk what she does
DDanielleDDTF: but she always makes it super far into games
Asianxchick90210: I mean between us I can tell you lol
Asianxchick90210: She basically plays the role of someone who is dependable, comes off as honest, and sincere
Asianxchick90210: But more importantly she is never a threat
Asianxchick90210: Ever
Asianxchick90210: Which is why she gets far
Asianxchick90210: She has went to the end twice
Asianxchick90210: She has lost twice
Asianxchick90210: She is a follower, never the leader

Danielle and I have pretty much been getting closer and closer since the week Misty left the game. The fact that she has privies me to conversations she has with other people and is open with me about her own items really does make me trust her.

Danielle has a triple vote and an idol. So going against Danielle is like going up against a brick wall. She is not going anywhere and is a lock for the Final 4. So I need to continue to show her loyalty and let her know were on the same page right now.

The brick wall I am running into is where does Anthony fit into this entire equation? In an odd way I feel like Anthony is a part of why I'm here. I don't have anything concretely that can make me really say that. I mean I guess I can argue he's here because of me as well. I have sided with him on some important votes and I have also not sided with him which has cost his alliance to shatter. I want him in the Final 4 though and I know that having Anthony and Danielle in the Final 4 secures me in the Final 3 because one of them will have to go. I can't see a situation where both make the Final 3.

I also need Tracy and Heidi split up as well as not having to worry about a Danielle, Heidi, and Tracy Final 3 which has been discussed on numerous occasions. So I really am hoping if I don't win Immunity that Anthony does win Immunity and then at the same time I'm thinking about throwing Immunity so that Anthony can win Immunity? I just need Tracy out this round. She is of really no use for me. She will never take me far and she just is not dependable. So I hope Tracy leaves this round regardless the circumstances.

[Michelle]

Anthony once again won Immunity and I once again did the bare minimum since the result is always the same...Anthony wins Immunity! Now that Anthony has won Immunity it clearly puts me in a much more vulnerable position. If Anthony had lost then it was more likely him leaving no matter what since Danielle has an item to have 3 votes at this Tribal Council. Not only that, but she also has Immunity. So she pretty much decides what happens and that is why I know my fate is not in my own hands.

I think that Danielle has a lot of options. I know she won't vote for Heidi to leave so it brings it down to either Tracy or Myself leaving. I know I will be voting for Tracy because I think she would never bring me to the end no matter what the circumstance.

I'd like to have full faith that Danielle will vote Tracy out. I mean I think its the right move for her in terms of if we have a Final 2 she doesn't have to worry about Tracy and Heidi taking each other. On the other hand she could be weary that going into the Final 4 with Anthony and Myself could cause a 2 on 2 vote to occur. I don't think though she sees me as being with Anthony at all and honestly I don't have a solid idea of who I want in the end.

If I'm being completely honest here I think the only person remaining in this game who has truly played an All Star game is Danielle. I think that Anthony has done well in the challenges as usual, Heidi has done well being friendly with everyone as usual, and I have made the moves that I have wanted to make as usual. So nothing between the 3 of us stands out. Danielle has truly played the best game and thats why even if she votes me out she has my vote to win in the end.
