Episode 11

[Holly Hoffman]

Another Tribal Council, another blindside.

Are you worried that the next blindside may be on you? What measures are you taking to keep yourself safe?

Who is your next target?

[Linda]

I'm not worried I'm next. Somehow I'm floating under the radar. Which worries me, because I don't know how well that looks to everyone. I think Sean and Sarah are the next two likely targets from the other side

Next target: Dunno. someone from the other side

[Linda]

Alright, quick assessment

Sarah voted Lindsey, Patty and Gabe flipped. Essentially the plan I had tokenly come up with where the 4 nuTacos vote Gina should have happened instead. Ah well.

So right now, we have Patty and Gabe trying to convince me they still want to work with me, due to seeing Sarah and Lindsey as auto-vote getters. Course they are telling Sarah to come with them since they have the numbers.

[Linda]

Let me tell you this is going to be a busy weekend!

[Jeff Probst]

So do Gina and Lindsey know that Patty and Gabe have come back to you guys? Do you think that Pat and Gabriel are going to vote with you again, are you even interested iwth that after they defected for the last vote? What are your thoughts on Sarah's flip, do you regret not trusting in Sean/Sarah?

[Linda]

I can't regret "not trusting Sean/Sarah" because Sean didn't tell us he was reeling her in until like an hour before Tribal Council

And I doubt Gina and Lindsey know, but at the same time, I have my doubts that Patty/Gabe have defected back. And even if they have...we have a long weekend ahead of us. Am I interested? In so much as it benefits my game, yes. Those two will do what is best for them. And that's a good thing and a bad thing. They will betray people, but be respect. On the other hand, votes for them at the end may be split between them, leaving the possibility of someone slipping in between the cracks and winning like 3-2-2

[Jeff Probst]

What was Pat/Gabe's reasoning behind flipping when they came back to you? Do you think that they are still working with Gina/Lindsey?

[Linda]

I think they saw me/Lex/Sean/Vee as a stronger 4 than we were. Thought it was a good time to get rid of someone they didn't trust. *shrug*. It's a game ove. Wasn't shocked by it, given I had known there was a possibility of it happening

Again, I don't know. I don't even know if they know right now. They will do what is best for them. I could also easily see them voting either me or Lex out next time, but then going back to the two people left so that the there are an equal 4, with neither being from an original pair.

[Linda]

Course I'm starting to think I'm in a bad position in regards to winning. I don't think I easily lose against anyone, but I don't see any easy wins either. Ugh

If you were Patricia and Gabriel, what would your best move be?

[Linda]

Things to consider from Patty/Gabe's perspective

Lindsey and Gina are tight. They will not vote each other at F4. Meaning I have to have full trust in my partner, who has shown to be just as much a game first player as I am. Risky to consider. However, they are also a firm majority, with a 2-2 equality should both me and the other of G/P stay true

Sean/Lex/Linda are going to be tight now. Meaning at F5, it is unlikely any of them work with us unless they think they can't beat the others. However, if they do think that, that's an easy F3 path. A bit riskier for F5, but it makes the F4 smooth barring an immunity win from the L/S survivor.

Sarah is a wildcard who I want gone. She has no numerical value to me at all. If I go with the trio, we have 5 votes, if I stick with Lindsey/Gina, we have four votes and just have to convince Sean, Linda, and Lex to vote her out, giving us some easy votes to take us into the end. Sarah is essentially the last person I would want around

So correctly assuming they go after Sarah, which they are at least to Sean, Lex, and I, which means nothing, it still gives them full options at Final 7. And even if they vote off one of me, Lex, Sean at F7, they could still flip back at F6, takin who they think may be less of a risk than L/G.

Ugh. Maybe I should approach Lindsey/Gina about voting off those two.

Not this season.

Anyways, on Gabe and Patricia: if they're flipping between both sides, does this make them dangerous, or do you just trust that they'll be with you this time?

[Linda]

Read my posts. Does it sound like I trust them? And how the well would I knowon Thursday? You know how much is practically guaranteed to change by Monday?

Anyways, Y NO EDIGC?

[Linda]

I feel useless in this game. A mere pawn. Who doesn't know anything. Ot of the loop

I'll be dragged to the end. Maybe I'll quit instead

[Jeff Probst]

You brought up the fact that Gabriel may be lying in Private Messages, is that something you believe? Do you believe that Sarah will stick with you again for this vote or do you believe that Gabe and Pat will switch alliances again? That's the question I suppose.

[Linda]

I don't trust any of them. That's the problem. Either vote is a major risk

[Jeff Probst]

Why does Lex keep bringing up his bond with Gabriel, do you think those two have a deal? Are you apart of that deal?

[Linda]
