Gina is semi poised to go all the way, and no love thread yet? She is detailed in her thoughts and very aware of how to keep her cards close to her chest. Here's a taster of her last confessional. It's an answer to me saying she talks a big game but isn't following through on any of the "big moves" she keeps talking about;

And I don't see how you can say my game plan has changed! The timing was not right on Sean. Even if I had voted for Sean instead of Kim J, Lindsey and Linda weren't voting for him as I suspected so it wouldn't have made a difference. AND these rookies split the vote for some reason! smh.

My point is, big moves will be made. It's the nature of the game. The proposed final 8 is most likely not the actual final 8. But I've got to really calculate when these big moves can take place. For example, I want to keep Sarah in the game. Everyone else in my alliance wants her out really badly, including my closest ally. If Pat, a player who is very intelligent and all for big moves, if she isn't receptive to trying to swing something to save Sarah then no one will be. Then I have to ask- is Sarah worth it? And the answer is absolutely not. Not at the final 11. Now, things always change and there's plenty of time until our next challenge, so Sarah could win immunity or tribe dynamics could shift, but at this point I don't see a way to save her. If the dynamic changes, thats great. If it doesn't, I can't help that.

Anyway, I hope I've answered some of your questions. Sorry if they're confusing- I'm constantly re-adjusting my path to the end. All of what I've just written could be irrelevant in an hour when I change my mind and just decide to try and blindside everyone without regards to timing or tribe dynamics.

She's playing a bit of a Sandra game. I like her.

Sarah is on the block before Clarence? What the hell? A Cacique double-kill incoming?

Clarence has a lot of connections and deals with everyone and that makes him a bit of a wildcard, and you're not taking him out now?

If Clarence gets through 2 more votes he has good chances to get at least final 5.

Oh I almost forgot, Gina has this super sarky and sarcastic undertone to a lot of her posts which is great once you spot it. She will let loose a little more in her confessional, but once you notice it it's hard not to read all of her posts with it.

And, speaking of which. Everyone on this tribe is a little too chummy. Pat wants to work with Sean til Final 6, possibly beyond. Is she insane? I love Pat, but she's got this absurd notion of getting the deserving players to the end. And that's not very good for my endgame, is it? I'd love to be at the end with a bunch of players who can beat me in the finals. That's just what I always wanted.

Now look at that sweet face;

Adorable.

Gina was on top of my target list if the tribe stayed the same. I dont know if she would have been voted out tough. It was her or Vee with Gabe and Sarah with the swing vote.

Gina and I just didnt connected game wise. I felt like she was playing with everyone except me. Thats why I was so adamant to vote her out.

Final Six. And after giving a more fleshed out run through in the admin area (since we've been more blogging here ) I will say that weighing everything up, she is the most likely winner here. She has that killer combination of not being flagged as a threat, while having a great game played so far. The players still in underestimate her, while the Jury respects her.

Her biggest worry right now should be that if people decide her/Lindsey are too big and tight a pair to have still in for endgame. Even then Lindsey is seen as more threatening by some. A Lindsey immunity win this round or next could see votes flood towards Gina by default.
