Stranded in Venezuela

5 people left, and even fewer places to hide!

So don't hold back in your confessionals. Tell us everything.

Who do you vote out next? Do you think you have the numbers to do it?

Who do you have on your side? Any wildcards left in the game?

How do you think the jury will vote at the FTC? Give us an assessment of how you expect each juror to vote!

Lex or Gina is next. I feel it may have to be Lex, but I really want Gina one before the F3. She's a huge jury threat imo. I think I CAN(not WILL but CAN) beat Lindsey and Gabe. Not to mention I then get to say I controlled the end game. There were two pairs, yet I was sitting with one of each

Everyone will claim to be on my side, but if they as two pairs determine to get rid of the swing, they are fully within their power. No real wildcards in this game honestly

Honest assessment after some initial PMs. I promise

Actually Gina and Lindsey aren't here right now

Kim J - Wildcard. I think she leans towards me and Lex, and I hope me being honest with her her boot round helps, but at the same time I could also see her not voting for us because of the Frank blindside

Clarence - Not me, Lex, or Lindsey. Probably Gina if she makes it

Kim P - Not me apparently. Don't know why. Lindsey if she makes it. Gina if Lindsey doesn't, and if its the 2 guys and me I'm not sure

Vecepia - Lex if he makes it. I think I can pull her vote though, but I think she likes Gina too. May be influenced by Sean

Sarah - I have a feeling I may get her vote actually. She didn't like most people left in the game. I could see her going for Gina though. Not Lindsey or Gabe.

Patricia: Tricky one. She seems like a gameplay voter ove a loyalty voter, but Gabe is definitely a possibility on the latter front. If not, probably Gina. I could potentially wrangle her vote

Sean: Gina or Lex if they makes it. I think I can talk him into me if I make it with the others though.

Those in the game

Lex: Me or Gabe. No questions asked

Gabe: Lex if he makes it, then either me or Gina

Lindsey: Me or Gina

Gina: Lindsey or Lex

fuck Lex just sent me and Gabe the most heartful plea for safety tomorrow. All these feel :(

When the brain says one thing, and the heart another, to which does one listen to? That is a question I will be pondering all of the 22 hours or so

What does the brain say and what does the heart say? (Now would be a good time to c/p that PM to Gabriel on just such an issue)

Brenda is stalking my PMs

I am stalking everyone's PMs

Speaking of which, where do you stand at present on the new trio versus Lex's heart felt plea a few hours later? Is this you/Gabe/Lindsey something you'll put your faith in? If so who leaves first of the other two? Where do you feel that leaves you at F4 if the other one then wins immunity?

Which one is a bigger immunity threat, and which one is a bigger Jury threat?

in case not everyone is as creepy as Brenda, here's the aforementioned message to Gabriel

My head things Lex is the biggest jury threat left. I feel he will take any votes I have a shot of winning, unless I pull a Todd and him an Amanda. That doesn't mean I'd be against you too, because I think the other 4 of us all have our strengths and weaknesses and possibilities. So the brain says, take care of Lex while we can, no?

However, my heart was touched by that plea. Also by the fact that Lex has been the only person honest to me the entire game. And that means a lot to me. I feel I'd be betraying an innocent lamb essentially. Not to mention the dishonor in backstabbing someone when they aren't even going to be around tomorrow to defend themselves/give themselves a shot. That is where my heart is at, finding it not right for me to even consider this

and I believe that trio I've mentioned before in my confessional as being my best shot at winning. Gabe and Lindsey are both good players, but not huge jury threats(at the same time, nowhere near goat status either). I put my faith in it in the sense I trust them to have the same desires I do, and that the plan is for us 3 to make it.

As far as Gina and Lex, Lex is the biggest jury threat, but Gina is a huge challenge threat. I mentioned that I believed Lex has a 100% chance of winning the game if he makes FTC, whereas Gina's is "only" around 75-80%. However, Lex isn't as big a challenge threat, so it may actually be smarter to take out Gina now IF she doesn't win F5 immunity. But then we risk Lex beasting up that last challenge and essentially walking into a blowout FTC

And he sent me another plea this morning. And I just don't know if I can do this. I came into this game hoping to be Sophie. I think I've turned into Lill

I came in here expecting to read one-liner updates, and I get a few meaty paragraphs. Now that my expectations don't match up with reality anymore, I'm struggling to read this.

It's almost as if you can never please me, Linda baby.

One thing I always tell players is to NEVER compare their game to that of a real Survivor. You are ~LINDA~, so own it, woman! What makes you unique and stand on your own? Is there any way to tap into that to get yourself to the end and to use some of it to win?

Also, another thing. Is there any danger in telling someone, "Hey, I'm probably voting for you."? What's going to stop them from trying to turn things back on you?

It depends on the person and their position. For instance, up until this round, if I told Gina I was voting for her, I would be committing suicide in this game. She was powerful, smart, and had friends. Now she is a threat that people don't want in the F3. Same with Lex.

And I'm sorry, but I have to tell Lex. He has been honest with me all game. The only person to do so. Why should I be any different to him? He has been my closest friend and ally, and therefore I owe this to him. If it hurts me, so be it. But I will be honorable

And is is not human to compare ourselves to others? :P

Gina's the target tonight. Because fuck I'd rather risk losing to Lex than Gina(even though I do like her)

withdrawing. On round 3 and not found a single word in the entire Wiki article

Funny how my first ORG I was one of the top two in challenges...and in this one I'm super terrible.

We can't all always be great, Linda.

I suppose. Where are the quick reflex challenges? :P

Mia, stop trying to kill the blindside
