At this point it's one down, bring on the next. Sarah made it that much easier by voting for Sean last night and so there's not even much convincing needed. It should be another fairly easy vote and I'll be glad to get rid of her because she's truly awful to talk to.
Things will get interesting after that, because while Clarence is a snake, he's also not a threat and tbh there's people in the alliance of 8 that i'm worried will start flipping. I'm thinking, maybe after Clarence is gone though, it'll be F9 and then another shakeup. Form a new alliance of 5.
Sean, Lindsey, Gabe, Gina, Pat.
The only issue is, Gabe has said to me that he wants Gina and I to be in his F3 and he will never betray that. So I know he won't betray me until I betray him, or more accurately betray Gina. I can't get rid of Gina until all the people who I'm not working with are gone though. I need everyone here to think they have a plan going forward with me, and that's my main reason for targeting the people I am.
I've realised that I seem to have a lot of control over votes. More than I thought, and it's a little worrying because if people notice it i'm in hot water. But essentially, no decisions get made until i reply to my PMs. I've got a flood of "Who are you hearing, what are your thoughts, it's kinda between x and x what do you think?" and then I'm like, "I've heard [person i want] gone and [person i want gone] as a backup in case of immunity. And then it spreads and I get what I want. I'm not dictating to anyone I'm not being aggressive. I'm being dominant

As for the idols, something happened last round right before TC, didn't get a chance to confessional about it. Sean revealed to me, gabe and vee that the idols he had were photoshopped fakes. I'd had an inkling but of course you've got to play assuming they're real. And I still will play assuming they're real because I reckon this could be a double bluff.
As for this merge idol, I don't know. I'm going to assume someone else has it. I looked and got nothing. I hate idols I think they stagnate strategy. Because of idols i'm way less likely to consider making a big move anytime soon because it's far too easy for that news to get out and then my betrayal gets idol'd. Without an idol, as long as I get numbers i'm good.
