Ep 7: Merge Round

[Brenda Lowe]

[Frank]

My money is on Mama Kim getting the boot. Sean will play Original Mariche to vote for her (with possible ex-Tamanco NuMariche members in on it) and steer his new probable alliance ( Vee, him, Lex, Linda, Lindsey, Kim) to vote for her as well. Once 11, Sean has numbers.

They will easily fool her and she won't be able to avoid it.

[Brenda Lowe]

You said elsewhere Sean is your winner pick. How do you see this playing out, or who else do you see at the end with him?

[General]

Sean + Vee Final 2 please.

I knew so fast that Sean was my biggest threat to win this game! I hope he can take it home!

[Lurker_Becky]

Why did you include only 1/2 of the merge avis, Brenda....

[Lurker_Jessie]

Go Clarence! Show Sean which black man is in charge!

[Lurker_Becky]

I agree. Sean is overrated around these parts.

[Frank]

I really liked Clarence, he would've been in my final 2 if he stuck with me, but Sean is in a better spot at the moment. Things can change though.

[General]

I'm so jealous of them :(

[Brenda Lowe]

You need to clear your cache I think. it's something to do with the way Jeff rehosts them at the same URL as the previous avatar, and your computer remembers the old ones. There are 12 blue avvies in the OP.

Also you probably can't see a lot of the new board

Yeah half of the site is still green for me even after clearing my cache. I mean, I LOVE phpbb but the way stuff changes sucks.

[General]

lol at Jeff asking them a tribe name and then deciding the real name

[Brenda Lowe]

I will be completely honest and say I haven't even opened Mariche's board since the shuffle. What little time I had for this this week I focused on the Tamanaco drama. If I had to guess right now I'd say Linda and Mama Kim are gonna be out on their backs soon, although Linda's ties to Lindsey & Kimp might serve her well. Of all of Tamanaco I expect Lindsey & Lex to do the best overall. Not because of positioning, but because they are both a really good blend of social, smarts, and flexibility. Lindsey more so socially, but Lex is pretty damn good, and Lex moreso strategically, but again, Lindsey is pretty sharp too.

Clarence and Vee I kinda lump together prediction wise (ikr? so racist). They could both go far, but not because they are great at the game, more likely the opposite. Each could be snapped up by someone older and wiser and use their vote to their benefit long enough that suddenly sitting in the finals againts C or V is suddenly a very attractive option.

Sean & Patricia are probably the front-runners to win. Which is exactly why neither will. Sooner or later their threat level will be reason enough for even their closest allies to turn on them.

Who is left then? Sarah? Could potentially become super deluded about her position. It's not so long ago her whole tribe was gunning for her. Now that she's vulnerable, it wouldn't take too much for anyone who wanted to make a target of her into one that a lot of people would agree on.

Gabe... could well win outright icon_shocked

[Brenda Lowe]

Oh sorry KimP. I find it very hard to follow her game :/

I'm gonna do my first PM & confessional lap since merge and come back with completely different opinions, just watch

[Lurker_Becky]

That worked. Everything is now in BLUE! Thanks again, Brendagoddess.

[Lurker_Becky]

Patricia? Oh please no.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

Brenda is actually wrong about Linda...

Kim P and Sarah have their backs against the walls, based on a power alliance of 8 forming between mixtures of both sides. Sean, Vee, Lex, and Linda are one half, and Lindsey, Gina, Gabe, and Patty are making up the other half.

So while I don't see those 8 sticking together forever (they all have different agendas, some want it to be Mariche vs. Tamanaco, and others want to work a different way though), but I think those 8 will be fine for at least the next 2 or 3 boots.

Kim J, Sarah, and Clarence are in the roughest spot it seems.

[Frank]

They wanted to freaking name it "glitter".

I told him that he needed to name it once I saw Fatty Patty or whoever suggest it. We don't have time to trifle with crappy merge names.

Plus he chooses them for everyone other season, so what makes YOU guys special? #hashtag #bitter

This is what I get for not visiting a confessional over there for three rounds :/ I blame Sean Rector & his antics for distracting me.

Plus work suuucks this week. there aren't enough hours in the day.
