Episode 10

[Holly Hoffman]

Now we're down to the final 9. You have already managed to outlast half of the season's cast!

Explain the dynamics of this merge tribe. Where does everyone stand? Where do you sit in the pecking order?

Give me a rating of your own chances at winning this game. Also for the rest of the remaining players.

[Gina]

Well shitballs! I'm in a doozy of a pickle. I'd say I'm circling the drain at this tribe- right down there with Lindsey and Sarah. The good news is anything can happen in this game, and we've got the idol. There's the NuTamanaco four, Pat and Gabe in the middle, and Lindsey, Sarah and I on the other side.

Pat keeps trying to get me to trust her on the next vote- I trust that bag of jello about as far as I can throw her. C'mon, you burn me twice then just expect me to trust you again? It sucks that I'm in a position where, for the time being at least, my fate is kinda in her hands. Playing that idol may be our only shot of regaining control of this game, and at this point I feel like i have no choice but to reveal to Lindsey that I have it and to discuss how to play it successfully.

I think in terms of winning a jury vote, the only people who could never win are Sarah, Linda and Vecepia. The former because she is pretty universally despised and the latter two because they are goats of the highest order. It's a hard fought battle to the end, but if I can successfully idol out Sean then Linda may get spooked enough to join up with us and take out Vee and then Pat. Maybe. I dunno. This game is stressing me out. I'm going to bed.

[Brenda Lowe]

Did she tell you that this vote was incoming or leave you in the dark completely?

[Gina]

She told me she was with us 100 percent.

[Gina]

I'm really torn on whether to believe her or not. On one hand, she has to know that going with Sean and his crew is a terrible move. On the other hand, I'm starting to think she may believe that is her best option.

Which would be stupid.
