Another round another loss... it must be frustrating, but it is what it is.
What isn't working for Asmat? And what is your tribe going to do to make sure that you win tomorrow night?

Missy seemed confident at tribal, but ended up going. What did you expect to happen? Were you at all surprised, or did you expect it to go down the way it did? How does this vote-off impact your game?

Have you started making any plans for the remainder of the game? Who are you wanting to work with long-term? Who needs to go?

Good luck for this next round!

- Sun Apr 24, 2016 10:21:51 pm #1535 Really loving that we lost that challenge! I pretty much just ended up doing nothing the whole challenge besides hoping we lost. I just threw it because, to me, solidifying my alliance with Reed and Drew, plus voting out Missy before she caused too much trouble was much more important than a challenge. Plus, we still ended up getting a third idol clue.

Missy getting voted out was the best thing ever! In all honesty, it was the car crash story that really sealed the deal for me. Like... really? How convenient, Missy. First it's the sexual harassment from Rocker that saves your ass and gets him voted out, then it's the tearful PMs about how much Keith, Drew and Reed bullied you... And now suddenly right before the next tribal, you're in a car crash? Suuuuuuuuure. Honestly, it's a really scummy, Fairplay-esque way to play. I can't even respect the "pity vote" strategy. I think Kelly and So were definitely thinking about dragging her along as a goat later in the game, so I'm really glad I got rid of her and kept my place in the alliance.

- Sun Apr 24, 2016 10:23:41 pm #1537 This vote was just the first step towards my goal of becoming the power player of the season.

Next challenge is much more important so I'll definitely be giving it my all and I'll just be hoping it's a puzzle because we've got Drew, Kelly and myself on the team and we're all puzzle masters. I feel like I need more time to convince Kelly that Drew needs to stay and that I'll lose Drew if we lose this next challenge.

My next plan of action is to get that third clue and hopefully figure it out so I can secure the idol. From there, I'm ready to start taking control of the game. If we lose again, my hope is that I can persuade So and Kelly to vote out Joe because he's the leader of the Asmat alliance and he's been a pain in my ass since day 1. The idol is my backup plan. If I can't persaude So and Kelly to vote out Joe, I'm going full-throttle and I'm willing to use the idol on Drew or Reed to secure my numbers.

Going forward, I'm definitely trying to rely less on So and Kelly for the numbers and looking moreso to align with Yali.

- Sun Apr 24, 2016 10:51:03 pm #1538 Okay best thing ever! If we lose, So proposed that we should do a 2-2-2 split with herself and Kelly voting Drew, while Joe and I vote Reed. ... I'll definitely still be working my ass off to actually win this next challenge, but now I feel like I can actually use these convoluted split votes they're always making to my advantage and I can finally make the move I've wanted to make since day 1.

My plan is to use that 2-2-2 split. I'm going to tell Drew and Reed to vote Joe and when tribal rolls around, I'm going to switch my vote for Reed and vote out Joe in a 3-2-1 vote. It's perfect!

The only drawback is that I run the risk of alienating So and Kelly. But, at that point, I won't need them anymore. Once I vote Joe out and fully flip over to Yali, there will be 6 former Yali and 7 former Asmat, including myself. So, even if we merge right then and there, I'll be completely secure with my Yali numbers and then I'll be able to run the gambit from there like I never could back with original Yali. If we continue on with this new Asmat tribe, or even swap, I feel comfortable enough that anyone from the Yali alliance will protect me and keep me in the game. I think the only real enemies I would have in a swap are Kelly and So. All the Yali folk would be indebted to me while I could lie my ass off to Joaquin, Sierra, Max and Dan and tell them that Kelly and So were the ones that flipped.

[Jenn]

- Mon Apr 25, 2016 6:17:31 am #1546 I'm not even going to suggest Joe, to be honest. I'm just going to tell Kelly and So that if they want to work with Reed like they said they did, he's going to flip if we vote out Drew. They can fill in the blanks from there.

And if they ultimately decide they don't want to vote out Joe, I'm definitely using that 2-2-2 split to side with Drew and Reed to blindside Joe, and by extension, Kelly and So.

- Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:21:23 pm #1571 FUCK, even on the opposing tribe, Joaquin smashes all my plans into a million pieces. I had a perfectly-laid out plan and was willing to just let it go to a draw so that both tribes could go to tribal, but NOOOOOOOO Joaquin just had to be... well, "greedy".

Now I have to postpone my plan to blindside Joe. Hopefully we go to tribal again before there's another swap, or I might just lose my chance to put this plan into action.
