12th Place | Voted Out 3-2-1
By Kelly Wigles
#774 Hi Joe! Here are some quick questions to get you going on your confessionals for this next round, feel free to answer them whenever.

1) How did you feel about the vote and tribal council in general, did you feel like you learned any more or less about your tribe and your dynamics together?

2) So initially wanted a group vote on what to do with the idol, what are your thoughts on that whole situation?

3) Could you give us a ranking of all the people left in your tribe based on trustworthiness? Explain to us as well why they rank that way.

4) I see you threw a throwaway vote towards Max, what was your reasoning behind this? and why Max?

"Wow! That tribal was a zinger.

First of all, when Jeff was asking everyone questions, Jenn OPENLY ADMITTED that she wanted to throw a vote away to 'add some chaos'. Immediately, the strategist went off inside of me and I devised up a plan...

What if I did a throwaway? Because then, I can easily frame my vote on Jenn and since we hardly talk, it'd be nice to have her as a target at a nearby tribal.

So, I threw my vote in for Max. Perfectly, Shirin got all of the votes except for my vote for Max. Now, everyone is going to think Jenn voted Max even though I did. So, if I ever want Jenn out, I should easily be able to get Max on board, haha."

"Y'know what, I'm sick of my nickname 'Joey Amazing'. I'm a devious asshole -- that nickname needs to take a nap, because bad-boy evil nickname is wakin' his ass up.

What's an evil, cunning, devious replacement for the word 'Amazing'? Hm... How about Terrorizing? Joey Terrorizing... I love it. icon_wink "

And following Wiglesworth's questions for me...

"I was EXTREMELY surprised to see So use her idol on Sierra. As far as I'm concerned -- dumb move. It just shows that they're closer than everyone thinks. I love So, but -- if she were going to use her idol on anyone, it should've been herself."

Confessional 38

"That was strange... I personally think she should've just played it on herself, as she promised, not to benefit MY game but to benefit HER'S. Then, wham -- she used it on Sierra, going against both options that she gave us. icon_glare "

"If I were to rank everyone from least trustworthy to most trustworthy, these would be the results:

Jenn. I kinda like Jenn, but I've tried reaching out to her a lot and she generally just ends up ignoring me after awhile which is a huge red flag.

Max. Max... I like him, but like Jenn, I don't know him very well -- doesn't interact with me much.

Joaquin. I like Joaq, but the guy seems a lil out for himself. He's out for him and I'm out for me, and I think we realize that about each other.

So. So was #3 or #4 before this, but after playing her idol on SIERRA -- I really don't know where I stand with So.

Sierra. Lord, I really, really like Sierra, and I've hardly spoken to her. This lady can control this game and I can tell. She's like Kim Spradlin and she will win.

Dan. Dan the man, my big bro!!! Thing is with big brothers -- they do look out for ya, but they put themselves before you. xD

Kelly. Kelly is my gal. <3 I feel like I can trust her 'til the end.

Myself. Me, me and me. Always trust yourself."

Confessional 40

"I performed the throwaway on Max to potentially pin a target on Jenn, and in case So randomly played her idol on Shirin. Besides, I doubt it'll hurt anyone. ;) 'cept Max."

#789 Interesting, so hypothetically, if you were all to go to tribal again in the next round, what would your ideal scenario be?

"My ideal scenario for our next tribal-council would be a unanimous vote on Jenn, but to be realistic: a unanimous vote on Max. I doubt it'll happen because this game is complicated but, ah well."

"OH FUCK. I think my throwaway vote plan just got fucked over.

So, everyone decides to start talking about which vote-message was their own.... AGHHHHHH... Since mine was the vote for Max, I have none to own up to. -.- so, now, I could get fucked over for my own ignorance.

Don't worry though, guys -- I'll make sure that'll I'll hang in... This won't be the end of Joey Terrorizing. icon_wink "

#810 Would you say that you are in a good position within your tribe? Who's calling the shots in this group?

"Honestly, now that my plan just got fucked over, no, I am not in a good position -- I very well might be voted-out if we lose... It could just be paranoia strikin' me, but I feel like Kelly, Jenn, Sierra, So and Max is a potential group. My best option is to stay very 'open' with Kelly, AKA ask her if she'd be interested on flipping on the 5 Amigos alliance a lot just to feel her out because I know that she trusts me. If I told her that I'd be open to flip, she might help me out here.

Nobody is calling the shots at the moment -- someone might THINK that they are, but they're very wrong. Currently, this is all over the place. If we attend tribal again, ANYONE could go. I'm fucking praying that we win next immunity because if not, I'm prepared for scrambling hell."

"Where did this paranoia come from? It's like... As fast as a lightning-strike from Zeus, I was hit with this wave of anxiety and paranoia. Aghhh...

If we lose, everyone wants to take out whomever does the worst in the challenge, so I'm going to have to go 100% and impress EVERYONE so that they don't want me out. That's Joey Terrorizing's best move at this point. That, and making sure I don't overplay my hand... Although I've kinda already done that. icon_razz just can't overplay it anymore."

"Mmkay, so, I have a bit of an update for ya'll.

First of all, I revealed to Dan that I voted Max. The reason is that he openly asked me, and I feel like I can trust him as of now... He's my big bro, after all -- and blood is thicker than water. icon_wink

Other than that, everyone I've spoken to just wants to vote based off of challenge-performance, so I think I'm good unless I royally take a dump in the challenge. Hopefully I won't do that and I can stay for another night or two... Three days is everything in this game. icon_smile at least, to Joey Terrorizing it is, hehe."

"Mmkay, so, after straightening some things out with Dan, I really think that he could be my closest ally in this game. Kelly is more universally liked, but I really think I can trust Dan to help me get myself far in this game because hey! Even Joey Terrorizing needs some help sometimes! icon_razz "

"I now officially have this 'The Bretherin' alliance containing Dan, Joaquin and I -- perfect! This is just what I, Joey Terrorizing, needs to boost my ranking on the totem-pole.

In the 5 amigos chat, Dan and I are getting pissed because we keep asking everyone what we should do if we lose immunity, and Kelly responds with something along the lines of... 'I just don't want to think about it.' Yo, Kelly, I love you, but... Girl... This world 'aint all rainbows and sunshine. We NEED to come up with a plan NOW because if we lose immunity we only have FIVE FUCKING MINUTES until tribal. icon_smile

I really like Kel, but she's far, far too sweet and she makes her final 2 plans with So way too obvious. I've actually done a mutiny -- I'm not on the Jelly (Joe + Kelly) ship anymore, but I'm now on Jan (Joe + Dan) ship. I've changed captains Kel; and after Dan has this new-found boner for voting So out after we vote Max out tonight, don't be shocked if we see a lil blindside in a couple of tribals time. icon_wink

Kelly's attributes are sweet, naive, doesn't really know what she's doing and she's in some sort of romantic relationship with So...

Meanwhile, Dan KNOWS what he's doing, he's calm, I feel as if I can trust him and he isn't being shady with me.

Meanwhile, Kelly is making an EFFORT to THROW THE FUCKIN' SHADE. People just don't fuck with me like that. I'm paranoid, I'm an asshole, and I flip-flop like a fuckin' flounder-fish. I still like Kelly but no. Unless she decides to be more responsive to me, I think I'm cutting this whole idea of working with her and So completely loose. It's out of the window. icon_smile (most twitchy, agitated smile ever)"

"Holy crap. The paranoia is still there. I am sick to my stomach right now.

I really don't wanna go home this early... I'm trying hard to get myself in a better position, but it's rough... I just gotta be confident. I gotta make SURE that I stay in -- I must FIGHT for it -- and if I do go home, that's MY fault and that's MY problem. I have to assure that I stay myself. I can't rely on anyone else here to help me. Momma 'aint here to help anyone."

"Dan, Joaquin and I are as close as the three stooges. I'm stooge #3, Joaq is stooge #2, and Dan is probably stooge #1. We're dumbass young-men and we love it. We divulge in it.

However, these dumbass young-men aren't havin' fun at the moment. We're just talking about game and strategising -- kinda like we're playing cards. Things are serious, and with us guys, we usually don't take jack-shit serious so that's proof that this is one strange day."

"Coming into this immunity-challenge, I'm going to go over 100%. I cannot fail. I cannot flop. I cannot become a target.

We have to defeat Yali. If we don't my ass is on the line. This is an extremely important immunity. Honestly, everyone I've spoken to has just said we should vote-out whomever sucks the most at the challenge, but I feel like my booty may be up on the block either way -- whether I brawl and fight, or I bawl my hazel eyes out.

My plan is just to spearhead this challenge and give Yali a kick in the balls. If I'm great at it -- my tribe will want to keep me more. Lord, this is just not a fun position. xD Stranded? More like Stresseded. I do adore it though and that's why I'm worried. I can't stomach the thought of being out early. I just love this game so much and I really, really don't want to leave early. That'd suck a lot."

"Literally, in my head, I just came up with the most fitting situation for this.

This tribe is like a family.

A disorderly fucked up family.

I take the role of the youngest-child. Slightly more immature than my older sibling Dan, I seek help from him a lot -- perfect spot for me.

Dan is my older brother. He guides me through life, but likes to tease me a lot. He also tries to help me with understanding women and other concepts in life.

Sierra is Dan and Is' mom. The eldest of the Asmat family, Sierra is always there to help and guide us with whatever we need. The most mature of the family for sure.

Max is our father, whom left when I was at a young age. Solemn and relaxed, but he has a temper on him, so don't piss him off. Sierra doesn't like talking about him much.

Kelly is my girlfriend, who has been giving me the cold-shoulder recently. Dan warns me that she's trouble, and I do agree with him, but I still love her.

Jenn and So are Kelly's friends. They try to talk her out of dating me, and we're basically mortal enemies. Kelly likes both of us though, and because she's so sweet, she struggles to ditch them.

Joaq is basically... A drinking-buddy of Dan and I. We always hit the bar together and talk about life -- he's a pretty cool guy, but he can be quite brutally honest sometimes.

And finally... Shirin is the dog. Doesn't speak a word and pisses everyone off."

"Been trying to feel my tribe out a little more -- the 5 amigos agreed on Max if we lose. However, I've also been talking to Kelly a bit more, and it seems as if she's more interested in voting out Joaquin or Dan rather than Max.

So, here's the issue -- Kelly and I are the swings. We have to pick between voting-out Max or voting-out Dan or Joaquin. The deal is that we'll base it off challenge performance -- if Max does better than Dan/Joaquin, we vote for Dan/Joaquin. If Max flops at the challenge -- we vote-out Max. However, for my game, it'd be so much better to just have Max leave. The Brethren alliance can't close off this early in the game, it's just impossible.

So, my vote will most likely go to Max tonight no matter what if we head to tribal. Besides, the only freakin' reason that Kelly is nervous about booting Max is because her little crush, So, is close to him and I guess she's worried that So will be pissed off with her if she flips and boots off Max with the amigos and I.

Thing about Kelly is that she's extremely submissive. She'll do what you tell her. So, with me nagging her to vote Max and So nagging her to vote Joaquin/Dan, she's going to get conflicted emotions. No wonder she's been giving me the cold-shoulder. I'm just hoping that I have more of an affect on Kelly than So does. Thing is, if I sort of 'threatened' Kelly and told her that if she did flip on Joaquin, Dan, Sierra and I it'd be a 4-4 tie, then she'd be sure to vote Max just to prevent that tie scenario from happening. It'd be ridiculous not to and to go through with the tie. However, I'm a gentleman -- I don't wanna play on a girl's emotions like that.

The bottom-line is that Kelly would be willing to write Max's name down if we go to tribal so that we can make this baby a 5-3 and the 5 amigos can stay 5 fucking strong, as they should. We're called the 5 amigos for a reason and Kelly is just thinking far too much with her heart at this point. She needs to think about it. Abandoning a majority alliance this early in the game is pointless."
