Gabriel

[Jeff Probst]

A little dark horse, who knew someone who was supposedly all sunshine and roses would blow up like that, PUBLICLY no less. I think he could be in for a lot if he's freaking out this early on... I just love that the innocent had a meltdown and turned nasty so early on. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one...

[Lurker_Becky]

I hate his whiny bitch attitude.

[Lurker_Caryn]

Dodn't Brenda say he has like several different alliances?

[Brenda Lowe]

I am confident in my sweepstake pick. I think he's set to go as far as most of Mariche go in this game.

[Brenda Lowe]

OMG OMG OMG. Gabe is making vidconfesionals <3333

[Lurker_Becky]

LET US SEE! THIS ISNT FAIR!

[Holly Hoffman]

Gabriel's confessionals are amazing. #truth

[Brenda Lowe]

kk, so Gabe left some text based confessionals that I can actually quote here and update. He doesn't know it, but *some* people are beginning to view him as a bit of a goat due to his patchy activity. That will make it all the harder for him come FTC if he makes it. He has made legitimate bonds here, and wsa already one of the safest players in the game, but missing events like he has and his strategy of sitting back and just rolling with the game is gonna make it look later like he did nothing at all.

He continues to be the most PPPP player in that game with hardly a bad word to say about anyone;

Kim J left with a strong majority tonight. Do you think that maybe it was a wasted opportunity to take out a bigger player?

No... I think that Kim J was a big player.

There's been a lot of talk about idols in the recent rounds, particularly with Sean. No sign of them at tribal council though. Does it concern you that there's this talk but nothing has happened yet? What about the new idol that has been hidden?

Sean already told me that all of the idols were fake. It was an absolutely amazing plan that worked out. He gained so many threat points from that. It's ridiculous. I've been looking up legends and stuff based off of what the clues have said, but I'm not very smart.

Now that we've hit the jury, how do you plan on impressing those watching in order to convince them YOU should win Stranded in Venezuela?

Just being social! Everyone knows who I am, everyone sees my presence... I've got bad luck as always being the 3rd juror, so I'm either going to go over the top in a round or two and play REALLY hard to further myself or wait until I've beat the 3rd juror curse and then play hard then.

What do you make of - most importantly - Lex & Linda?

Lex is so awesome. I think I forgot to respond to him based off what he said last, which I should get on to replying to, but I haven't spoken to Linda. She hasn't spoken to me. I guess I'll initiate a conversation with her soon. She seems to be a flipper.

Then I guess the 'returning' Vee & Sean?

So glad they're back on my side!

Then Lindsey, Clarence & L'il Kim?

I'm a fan of Lindsey and Kim P, Clarence is just a tad weird and I'm not a fan of him. I don't know... there's something unsettling about him.

And finally where do you feel you stand now with Gina/Patty/Sarah?

Not sure why you grouped them... Oooh because we're all Mariche through and through. Well, I don't like Sarah and she'll be leaving as soon as she doesn't have immunity. Gina and Patricia are my final 3 partners. I just hope I'm theirs.

I hate to say it, but I don't think he'll win at this rate. He is gonna do well in surviving most of these players, but it is very hard to find a Jury that will award a floater game. If somehow his biggest allies were on the Jury then maybe - but he wants to go all the way with them O.o

[Brenda Lowe]

He is still ridiculously coot though

[Frank]

He's floating by with not a care in the world. I agree with Brenda, no way a Jury would vote for him.

Interesting point though...Clarence, Sarah and Gabe do not have the new idols. Also interesting, Sean confessed about the fake ones, which is good for him.

[General]

I get Gabe game. I think its kinda like my own game. He just want to make it far and take risk when its worth it. As long as he feel safe he wont rock the boat. But he really need to find who is his biggest threeat. I think he'll make it fat. Vee and him are the biggest goat right now. If both get to the final it will be very interesting. He need to realize that and get close to Vee.

[Brenda Lowe]

He need to realize that and get close to Vee.

Now if he did that, then he would have a move he could lay claim to. But unfortunately I don't see him ever flipping on Pat and Gina. What will happen though, is sooner or later Pat and Gina will turn on each other. And then he'll have to choose

I kinda half hope he is so sweet he sticks by the one who is not the first to turn.

[Brenda Lowe]

Final six and Gabe is in a pretty good position gamewise. He is not seen as a threat to win and indeed people are looking to him as a decent opponent to play against. His biggest trouble is not going to be getting to the end, but convincing people that he earned his way there. He needs patricia now more than ever. Should she take all the credit for their moves in front of the Jury it will cripple his chances. Equally, if she credits him and is as good an ally out-of-game as she was in-game and talks him up a little - it'll boost his chances no end.

I don't know that she will though. It's a hard thing to do after your #1 just voted you out.

Of course I did it in my Season for eventual winner PurpleGoddessKelly when the Jury were hating on her quiet game - even after she heartlessly cut me at F5 I sold them on all her behind the scenes work - but I'm nice like that. I'm also super modest in case you hadn't noticed.

You NEVER talk about your two seasons, B-ren.

[Brenda Lowe]

Oh good point. I also did it for eventual winner and #1 ally in Refuge Catalie <3 Although she didn't cut me and she didn't really need my help

I guess the lesson here is ally with me and I will get booted at F5 / F6 and go to Jury and campaign for you, an your win is guaranteed. It's science!

[Brenda Lowe]

I have some time off on Friday :o If Gabe is still in I'll see what I can do about turning some snippets of a video confessional into an audio file so you can get a taste of his confessionals while preserving his anonymity. He really doesn't get enough love from you guys and it's mostly because we can't really update you like we can with the others. It's a little bit because his game is so quiet too, but I guarantee a taster of his confessionals would have you barracking for him a lot more.

[Frank]

He does video confenssionals?

[Brenda Lowe]

OMG OMG OMG. Gabe is making vidconfesionals <3333

Yup. Read upwards ^^^

[Lurker_Caryn]

He does video confenssionals?

No shit sherlock.

[Frank]

I guess I missed that fact earlier.

That does seem interesting. I'd like to imagine he has props and a green screen and he dresses up all ragged and unwashed like on Survivor.
