Episode 08

[Holly Hoffman]

Wow, what a way to start the merge, but there are a few things we'd like to know.

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

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?

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

Yes. I think it was a wasted opportunity. However, I knew Mama Kim had no hope of staying. I threw my vote onto Sean because I want to blame the stray vote on someone like Lil Kim. Bringing someone else's position down brings my stock up. I think this next round is going to be insane, though. People don't want to do two easy votes in a row. Especially now since we have like 3 days to decide on who we're voting.

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?

Yes! Sean isn't exactly my closest ally, but I'm hoping since I threw Sarah under the bus to him I can use that as leverage to get into he & Vee's inner circle. However, I think everyone realizes that we can't let those things sit around forever. This round should be a prime opportunity, with Sarah looking as obvious as a target as Kim J was...

What about the new idol that has been hidden?

Definitely not nearly as worried about that one. Yet.

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?

Of course I'm going to try not to send anyone to the jury bitter (this group doesn't seem like it'll house many, if any, bitter jurors though) but other than that I'd rather focus on surviving week to week than how to impress a jury. I probably won't be there on day 39 to try and impress them anyways.

[Lindsey]

I think it worked! People who I've talked to seem to think the stray votes belong to Kim squared, Clarence & Sarah. Yay.

I'm going to try and rock the boat this round. I'm not sure how yet but we'll see... Stay tuned.

Wait wat - you can't see that and not give us some deets Who wants to do what now?

[Jeff Probst]

Are we finally about to see the epicness of Lindsey strike?

[Lindsey]

Are we finally about to see the epicness of Lindsey strike?

I WOULD LIKE TO BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE BORING

I WOULD LIKE TO BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE BORING

Deets gurl deets, what is it you want to do, and who exactly is boring enough to not want to?

[Lindsey]

I want to blindside Sean and/or flush one or both of his idols. Pat and Gina and Gabe are all boring and just want to go with the flow and boot Sarah and Clarence next. They don't realize that the NuTamanaco alliance of Sean/Vee/Linda/Lex are too close and don't have our best interests in mind when it comes to the use of those idols.

Anyways, I'm going to try hard to boot Sean tonight. I just talked to Sarah about it and messaged Patty and Gina again with a plea that doing so will bring Linda/Lex closer to our alliance. Sean is just too dangerous and he doesn't have NuMariche's best interests in mind.

[Lindsey]

I'm sure this isn't going to work but get rich or die trying, right?

[Lindsey]

I talked to Sarah and Gina and both of them are completely down. Pat is probably the person I talk to the most so I hope she can take my word that this is seriously the best move for us. I messaged Kim and Clarence as well. This is seriously relying on so much and I don't have so much confidence but I legitimately believe this is the best move for everyone involved. I just hope that if it doesn't work, it still stays quiet. If not, then, like I said... Get rich or die trying. At least I'll go out knowing I took some risks.

[Lindsey]

Kim is down. I talked to Gabe and he's also down. We're up to 5 votes... Just need one of Clarence or Pat to get on before PMs close tonight.

[Lindsey]

I'm actually going to die if Patricia is the reason this fails. EVERYONE ELSE in our alliance is on board and if this fails because of her she's going to drag all of us down and screw us all. omg

[Lindsey]

Pat is in but Linda somehow found out. I am going to fucking murder whoever told her, omg

[Lindsey]

Mayday, plan abandoned because some dumbass told Linda FML

[Lindsey]

Plan's back to Sarah, when I find out who leaked this to Linda I might actually kill them

[Lindsey]

This has gotta be the craziest round yet, bar none. When Linda interrogated me I acted pissed off and said I wasn't informed of anything, so then I waited a little and pretended like I had talked to Gina or Pat or something and told Linda that "something was up but they weren't telling me anything because they didn't trust me not to tell you, but I'm voting Sarah, IDK who's voting with them" and basically told her to give Sean a head's up and play the idol just in case. Hopefully this won't be too awful and we'll get to flush one idol regardless, I have to put on this academy award presentation to Linda now.

[Lindsey]

THIS BITCH AND HER IMMUNITY CHALLENGES

I'm caught in a MASSIVE web of lies. I'm completely fucked, yippee

[Lindsey]

Well Sean/Vecepia/Clarence want to target Kimmy which says a lot. It means Kimmy wasn't the snitch and since Clarence is being defended by Sean, he was. Well-played. I knew I shouldn't have trusted him for a second, we didn't even need his fucking vote. Kicking myself, this round totally ruined my game.

[Lindsey]

Now Linda is saying it was Gabe that leaked? WTF

[Brenda Lowe]

I love your confessionals <3 You can actually see where you change your mind or have to adjust your plans.

Also lol;

I just hope that if it doesn't work, it still stays quiet.
