Linda: Better than Mother Africa

What a star:

I think we all feel we have a 12.5% chance of going home tonight

[Brenda Lowe]

How incredibly racist of you Mia.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

God, WHERE are all the Linda lovers?

[Mia Galeotalanza]

I freaking love Linda right now:

Frank is an Over the Top control freak who is trying to come up with too many crazy ideas. Not to mention a lot of conflicting deals. I'm 60% certain that he was with the Final 5, but not 100%. And there's nothing I can do to make myself less wary. Sean at least makes sense in a lot of ways. This will either be the move that makes my game, or it will end it very soon. This will be the most important vote of the season, and I promise you, that is not an exaggeration.

She's playing for herself, and while it's not clear if her move tonight is going to pay off long term, I think she's throwing her hat in with the right people in a way that will spell longevity for her. Plus her confessionals are still hella entertaining.

In other words, why do I feel like the only Linda fan?

Sean did the heavy lifting, but I give full credit for the Frank boot to Lindamazing.

Psssh you aren't the only Linda fan. I am just shitty with activity lately. I don'y blame her for making the move she did, and I hope it works out for her.

But Linda is my FAVORITEEEEEEEE

[Brenda Lowe]

Linda has a cunning plan.

Kim J was eating out of my fingers, but was not a pathway to the end. She was a mere number, nothing more. Love Mama Kim, but keeping her would have just brought up suspicion and a target on me. There are some people worth saving and some not worth saving. She fell into the latter. Now, Kimmy, who is out of the "alliance", is worth saving though. She ONLY trusts me and Lindsey, so for us she is perfect to have. People like her too, so she isn't an immeadiate target. If things were to go simple and Sarah and Clarence were then to go, a move to take Patty or Gina out at Final 9 would be PERFECT.

Something else I could do is feign worry for the idols around F7/8 and want to flush them, and play "double agent". Tell everyone else to vote 3-3, but Lex and I actually vote with Sean and Vee, taking out someone else.

So to say I'm just a follower, as Jeff implied , would be wrong. I compare this to Sophie and Albert. Lindsey and others want to make moves that will look good/be entertaining, but really aren't smart. So I, like Sophie, have to reel them back in and prevent anything stupid from happening

Mia is no doubt excited. Ryan will be too in a few weeks time.

[Brenda Lowe]

I love that she compares herself to Sophie - which in fairness is true outside her confessional. But in that little personal area, she is very reactive to events. A lot of her game is quite hidden, even from her allies. She needs to be careful not to get all the way to the end, then have no-one believe her. Be at least somewhat flashy!

[Brenda Lowe]

inb4 Jeff asks her about Scooby-Doo reveals at a TC pretty soon.

Jeff and his Scooby-Doo reveal speech.

Also I love that Linda is giving Jeff sass about him saying she's just a follower. Last person he said that to was ~KIM MULLEN~ and look what happened!

You got this, Linda!

[Jeff Probst]

Linda - No. Taking out a big threat was not possible. I am not for flashy moves, I am for efficient moves. The next two votes should progress the same. 12 is too big a number and if anything got out..not worth it at all.

Linda - People alredy want to make big moves..that would be suicide at this point. -_-. Patience is a virute none of these folks know

Jeff - Are you at all concerned that waiting too late to make a move would make you seem like a follower in the eyes of the jury?

Linda - No. Because I will make a move. When it becomes time,, not before that. I think they will respect me more for playing a smart game and not making a move for the sake of making a move as opposed to just doing flashy games. Im not Ressel Hantz

Jeff Probst - I've now seen you shoot down several changes in the plan that you have formulated for yourself. You keep saying that you don't want to be a russell hantz, you don't want to overplay... Is it possible that you're overcompensating by purposely trying not to make moves in an attempt to not overplay?

Linda - One way to find out! Speaking of which, I just went through winners who made big moves postmerge and it is a fairly short list. Vecepia, Sandra in PI, Chris, Danni, Yul, Earl, Parvati, JT, Denise, and Cochran. Some of those are arguable as well too. Im here to win not get 3rd.. I may love Cesternino, Fairplay, and the ilk, but I want better. :P


Though I was just discussing stuff with Sean nd he agrees we shouldn't use people we are sure we can trust. So clarence and sarah can't be used, yet those woild be 2 dangerous unknowns. They need to go

And since you guys are so pissed I wont make such a big move, what would you want me to do? :P

Linda - Yes, like I'm going to betray the alliance I just formed.
I know you guys would love it since I'd be, uh, "making a move"

Jeff Probst - Why do you assume that we want you to make big moves? We want each player to play as hard as they can so when they leave they don't look back and say "damn I should have done more" which happens 90% of the time. For some, Playing hard means letting other people make moves and reacting well to them. For others it means pushing people to make moves they want to be made, and for others It means making it themselves... But I can guarantee no one leaves the game having not done one of those three things without regrets.

[Lurker_Becky]

You act like being compared to Sophie is a good thing Brenda.

[Jeff Probst]

Patricia - Stop telling Linda that she's the follower she is It's messing up my groove.

[Brenda Lowe]

You act like being compared to Sophie is a good thing Brenda.

Ew no, I am no Sophie fan. Too dull.

I mean to say I love how she is comparing herself to Sophie when she is really anything but. Sophie was cold and logical and slowly chesspieced her way through the game. Linda is a far more reactive player, and will get caught in the heat of the moment sooner rather than later.

I'm hoping so, because right now she's more of a tenerelli than a clark.
