Despite the fact that with Mark's departure, Ben, Colleen and I gained majority over here, winning the challenge this round was still more important than ever, because we now know that one of either AJ or Cassie has an Idol.
It's still a really scary situation, seeing Dom, Luca and Sel off to Judgment yet again. More than likely, rocks will be drawn, and it's anyone's guess whether or not Lady Luck will continue to make the calls in our favor.
An interesting side note is that Henry tried to give Dom the runaround last night with a fake Idol. Evidently it was Knox's handiwork and I must say, he didn't do a bad job of crafting it. Unfortunately for them, the same could not be said for Henry's sell; clearly an intimidation tactic, Dominic called his bluff right away.
It's more than a little telling and just goes to show that their side is playing just as hard as ours is. They might be acting all defeated and sullen right now, but underneath all of the possum playing that's going on, you can bet that their game faces are painted and they're ready to put on a show. Who was it that said side vs. side games couldn't be fun in a game like this? Oh right...

Nearly half of the people that started this game are now gone. Shocking, I know. It's a strange, almost eery feeling really, almost as if the walls are slowly beginning to come closing in around us. With each Judgment, there are just fewer and fewer places left to turn.
It's funny, I was thinking today, if someone would have told me at the start of all this, that this group, this eleven, would be the combination of people still in the game right now, I probably would have laughed in their face. Regardless though, we've all had to work pretty hard to get to this point. This has not been a smooth ride.
Having overcome so much, I'm really hoping to see a merge on the horizon. It's a milestone in every season and All-Stars is no exception. Coming in with such a huge target on my back, to be able to say that I did it, that I made it to the official halfway point, it's really important to me.
