This, in my opinion, is the best way to defend myself when mergetime comes.
Assuming they all merge, I bet the first thing they'll ask me is why I sent them to the other tribe.
For Clarence, i'm going to say "Oh, we're trying to throw the challenges, and your WAY too good at challenges!", butter him up, that sort of thing.
Kim P and Lindsey are going to be harder. I'm just going to say that I felt spreading out our "Tamanaco 5" alliance would be the best possible way to gather as much information as possible.
The main reason why I sent Clarence/Kim P/Lindsey to the other tribe is so that I can keep Frank/Lex/Linda on my tribe. IF there are 4 tribal councils, and IF we lose them all, then Frank and I are in the drivers seat to do what we feel is best. Do we want to side with Lex, or Linda? They'll side with us, and vote each other, helping our game immensely.
After hearing the shit about Sarah, I'm starting to feel better about myself as Cacique. I'm the best Cacique in the game ^_^
