Frank's here

I saw a lot of very mixed and vocal opinions about me.

I do wanna talk about the part that led to my demise, cause looking from here down on us mortals is easy.

First of all, I didn't realize there wasn't any rule to just photoshopping your way into idols.

Second of all, tribal numbers in a merge was too much in my head. I figured Mariche would have a plan on that swap. We had a deal, the one with more Tamanacos throws the challenges. Obvious stuff..though, Mariche tried really hard to WIN the challenges. This made me suspicious that they sent over someone with idols to do some blindsides. Which is why I didn't question Sean's idols AT ALL, I suspected he had them before hand.

Thirdly, the vote. Plan was, if the "deal" doesn't go through, which I suspected it won't, we just split the votes 2-2 and flush the idols. I PM'd my alliance 4 times with the split votes before PMs went down just to make sure there's no Tysons.

So Kim J just gives up Cacique for free, screws up splitting the vote. With just Vecepia left and how hard Sean fought to keep her, I figured he'll just play an idol for her to be sure. Just before tribal started I told Lex to not be stupid and take any deals, just split it. But now, with Sean Cacique and the whole thing smelling REALLY fishy, I knew I was toast. Kept playing it as if we'd vote Lex but knew it was a very very long shot. Getting rid of me was too tempting.

Everything would've went perfect if I had the backing of the Tamanacos and Kim J wasn't such a crazy person. I asked them to give me Cacique and the Immunity necklace so I can actually negotiate with Sean from a position of power and force him to get rid of Vee. If getting rid of me was off the table, with the merge pending and by showing Tamanco is united enough to split that vote, Sean would've probably given up Vee. I didn't care about the idols, he could have them for all I cared, I just wanted the merge to be Tamanaco in advantage for a few easy votes.

It all went to shit cause Kim J was all paranoid that Sean and Vecepia would vote her out if she gave up Cacique, I had to spend most of the day trying to calm her down. Very Dawn Meehan like, only 10 times worse. I had to suggest that worst case scenario me linda and her would vote lex, and that she's safe no matter what. However that got to Lex... Lex lied to me before about talking strategy with Lindsey so I knew she had him in her Linda group. Fully knew Lex wanted to betray me eventually, but I figured its in his best interest to get a tamanaco merge. Now its 6-6 and he didn't get any idols for it. All he got is a chance to ride Sean's coattails for a bit. Linda however, considering the choice, I'd figured she'd stick with the 5 man alliance and not rock the boat.

Overall, I learned I'm overthinking things and should probably dial down the plays a little.

P.S. Bite me Caryn.

You were doing good until the swap and than you really overplayed that fucking shit.

Props to Sean.

I was so sure its some master plan by mariche that I didn't realize its just one guy trying to save his ass. If I or anyone for that matter realized the idols were fake, Mariche would've probably gotten close to pagonged because of their sloppier unity. I'm not sure how much Lindsey & Kim P are in with Sarah right now but at 7-5 they probably wouldn't have rocked the boat. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. My money is on Tamanaco getting destroyed now. Starting with poor clueless Mama Kim.

Props to Sean indeed. He's my #1 pick to win at the moment.

I actually think Sean just usurped your title as king overplayer lol. Once you start letting everyone know you're lying in public it makes people not trust you and want you gone

I believe that controlled properly, people knowing you're lying to others is perfectly fine. As long as you make them believe its for their own good. Trust is a nonexistent concept here, its only about putting yourself in their place and see if their best option is take you out. I didn't trust either Lex or Linda one single bit, but I calculated they had a better chance with me. I still think they did have a better chance with me but hey, time will tell.

Sean much like myself, was in a tough spot. The fear of him having the idols is the only reason that sent General home over him. Without him making those fake idols he would've gone next. I agree its not ideal he drew so much attention on him (look at what happened to me ) but I don't think he had any other options.

Do they still think the idols are real? What's going on on that front?

Hey gurl hey

[Lurker_Becky]

. I still love you and I loathe arrogant players, but I round you extremely rootable. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you!

[Lurker_Jessie]

Becky was telling me in PMs she hates you though so idk if I would trust her.

[Lurker_Becky]

What a snitch. Wait until you're voted off first in Stranded: Legends.
