Episode Three

[chase]

This happened in Episode 2, but I moved it just for you, Morgay!

So, last night, I realized that I should probably start looking for an idol. I worked with Henry, Knox, and Michael on it for a while, each individually. I knew what all of the songs were and found the blacked out clues, but I still had no idea what to do. I'm terrible at hunting for idols, so I don't know why I even bothered. Anyways, I gave up and went to bed.

So, when I got back from work today, I got online and decided to try some more. This time I worked with Dominic on it. After an hour of searching, he IM's me saying "I KNOW WHAT YOUR PASSWORD IS." He then told me it was cainkillsabel. I tried this. Didn't work. I tried about a bajillion other things, and none of them worked. FINALLY, I decided to try cainmurdersabel despite there being no 'm' in the clue. Lo and behold there it was. I thought God wasn't supposed to make mistakes?

Anyways, so now I have this idol, and Mark starts chatting with me. Then Dom says that he didn't actually find his tribe's idol; Mark found it. Mark had started chatting me up to tell me, I guess. Dominic didn't want Mark to know that I had already found the idol, so I played along with him, and found the idol again.

THEN, Knox messages me to tell me that he got their tribe's password, but it was already gone. I had to play along with figuring out the clues a third time. This time, I said our idol had already been found.

So at this point, Dominic and Mark know about my idol, and they ask me to form an alliance with the two of them and AJ. This sounds excellent to me, so I join and AJ does as well. We decided to tell AJ about the idols because she is really hard to lie to. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. I love AJ, but I could see her possibly having some loose lips.

Everything went well up to this point, but here is where I might have fucked it all up. I sure hope I didn't! I talked to Henry and told him that I got into the idol area, but it was gone. This was with the intentions of framing Thiago. Thiago played along with this lie quite nicely by telling Henry all the things he was figuring out. He was saying things like "I know there is a story where one brother kills the other," and "Esther is in the Bible, right?" So this played to my favor quite well. The only issue here is that only the people online at the time of the idol change are candidates. This leave Thiago, AJ, Cassie, and me. I'm hoping I've done a good enough job playing dumb, but I think I need to somehow protect Thiago from getting voted out. This means I either need to get Colleen or Cassie (preferably Cassie) voted out, OR somehow make it so people would want Henry or Quincy gone before Thiago.

I hate that I can't target Thiago because I have had such a hard time connecting with him. I've been trying SO HARD, but I just can't hold a conversation with him. He just doesn't respond to me for very long. This makes me very nervous because I feel like Cassie would vote me out in a heartbeat.

Ugh, I don't know how this is going to play out, and I'm not sure if I'm more comfortable or less comfortable after all of this.

Alright, so now that we are on to actual episode three, shit kinda went down, but I think it was all settled. Henry was apparently not sure about me. He thought that Thiago was probably lying, but he was discussing the whole situation pretty in depth with AJ. She told me that I should just tell him about the idol and apologize, so I did. This is what I sent him:

"I've gotta apologize to you. I wanted to come into this game and be some master strategist, and I'm clearly not cut out for it. I do have the idol, and I wanted to keep it to myself because telling others about the idol is dumb, right? So I lied to you to try and build your trust, and right now I can just seeing in blow up in my face. You're the only person I'm telling about this because I do want to work with you and I don't want you to not trust me. I'm really sorry "

I think that he believed me because we had a pretty serious strategy talk after that. Additionally, he never said anything to AJ. This makes me far more comfortable with my position because I think Henry does actually trust me now. I hope this is a relationship that I can take far into the game because he's a pretty awesome guy. It felt really good to lift this off of my chest because I didn't like lying to him. I feel free!

At least I don't have to lie to him about THAT anymore! haha

Anyways, this challenge is confusing at first, but I think we planned it out pretty well. Hopefully everyone does their part so that we can win again! #NotLiberty2.0

These challenges have been brutal! You weren't kidding when you said this was an All Stars game. haha

Holy shit. Let the meddling begin!

I don't even know where to start with this shitshow...

I'm stoked we won immunity because I thought that we didn't. It would have been an easy vote for us though. Thiago would go. The only issue would be that we would need to split the vote because Thiago "might have an idol"

So, to the meddling...

First off, Michael comes to me and says that he knows the password to find the idol. I had to play along with this game FOR THE THIRD TIME and pretend to figure out that it was already gone. At least this means that people on the other tribes trust me... He wouldn't tell me who had the idol on their tribe though.

Dominic then comes to me and tells me that either Gloria or Mark have been spreading lies. Later in the night, he came to me and had found out that it was Gloria. I guess that she has been really trying to get Mark out with his idol despite them having trusted her enough to tell her about the idol. I then told Dominic about what Michael had told me, and he had no idea that Michael knew. He thinks that it was probably Gloria pretending to have the idol. I guess that she has been doing all kinds of shit to get Mark out behind Dom's back, and he is pissed.

Then, Knox comes to me just wanting to talk things through. He was saying that he either was going to vote for Selena or Luca. I was like "HOLY SHIT YOU NEED TO GET LUCA OUT." He was really hesitant about that though because he didn't know if he could trust Selena to do that. AJ then tells me that she has been talking to Selena and she is saying almost the exact same things as Knox. It was pretty clear that we needed to get them to work together, so I started to shit talk Ellen and tell him that as long as Ellen's allies are in the game (Luca), he doesn't stand a chance because she will take him out over them. I told him the things Selena had been saying, and he asked if I had told AJ what he had been saying. I told him yes, and he got really pissed because I broke my promise not to tell anyone. I was pissed by this because AJ came to me first telling me the things Selena was saying, so of course I was going to tell her that Knox was saying the EXACT SAME THINGS. I apologized to him profusely, and tried to explain why I did it, but I think it just pissed him off more. I dunno. I love Knox to death, and I know he is emotional. I should have planned this out better. Hopefully he can regain some trust in me, and hopefully he can VOTE OUT MOTHERFUCKING LUCA. Ugh, if the Luca vote doesn't happen, then I think that'll come back to bite me in the ass.

Dominic and I skyped last night, and the amount of shit talking and rumors going around this game is ridiculous. He was hearing that Thiago had all the power on my tribe and I just laughed. Thiago has no power here, and everyone is ready to vote him off. Dominic is pissed that everyone seems to think that he and Ellen are together, and I think that rumor is being reinforced by the "DOMINIC AND ELLEN WIN IMMUNITY FOR THE 100TH TIME" theme of this game.

I talked to him about how I wanted Ellen out ASAP, and he disagreed because he feels like he would follow her out. I think that is horseshit, and I don't want the risk of them being together in this game. Dominic needs to be just on my side, and the sooner Ellen is out the better.

This is only a slice of all the shit that's been going on. Hopefully other people contribute some more of it because I feel like I've added what I need to.
