Stranded in Indonesia

Hey Joaquin! here are your customary confessional prompts :)

1) You seemed to be someone who actually enjoyed Dan's company, are you going to miss him at all? Is there any scenario where he could have stayed?

2) Speaking of which, he was your main ally, what are you going to do now?

3) So far it's looking like Yali is just going to steamroll over Asmat, how does this make you feel? Is there any chance that you can try and work with Jenn and So at all or is it all hopeless?

ooo personal questions, fancy

1) I loved Dan. He was my number one ally the whole game. I'm gonna miss him very much, he was smart and really enjoyable. The scenario in which he could have stayed is if I had spoken up earlier. I knew what was happening and I had to go.

2) I've gotta stick it out with these NuYali folk and hope I find a crack later, win a couple of immunities. Really just continue to try to unite them against the NuAsmats and last as long as I can.

3) Not in my immediate future, no. Drew has to go next. He is pure chaos.

You mind expanding on this for us? How is Drew pure chaos to your tribe right now?

His method of scrambling.

He buddy-buddy's with people. Then makes up a plan to them, they then agree to it not to be rude, and then tells the person the plan was against that the original person wants them out. Doing it enough times and with quoting made people so paranoid that they were going home that they just went along with what Drew said.

Like for example, he suggested getting me out to Nadiya, then told me Nadiya wanted me out.

How are you feeling about your game experience so far? Are you enjoying it? Is it affected your real life in any way?

I'm having fun so far, the game is probably on my mind too much in real life, but otherwise I think it's fun. I've never had to play this style before which is fun. Also, I came here for a higher calibre of game play and am getting it.

That's nice to hear, we try to keep the experience as authentic as possible.

lol
when i first played i was ready for a high calibre of game play
i made them all look like amateurs
so you kinda suck bro

yeah I picked shitty allies this time 'round
there's no way your closest ally can be someone who calls everyone a cunt and it not come back to haunt you

Hey Joaquin, I know you checked out a little early of that challenge but, if you don't mind, do you have any thoughts on it - both results and guesses?

Also, can you please give me a game status update in the form of a trust ranking? Something like ranking your other tribemates 1-8 with a trust score /10

So if you trust me the most, you'd go:

1. Jeff Varner: 10

so on and so forth.

i trust dale and literally no one else. i am an island at this point in the game. all my allies are out and my only option is to be a sellout vote and turn people against each other. i don't care who i back stab any more, i am going out with a bang.

i don't really care about that challenge. i didn't want to win since 1) if i need to win every challenge i don't deserve to win the game 2) i don't want people thinking I'm a challenge threat (which apparently isn't working)

Hey Joaq, how well do you know the people left in the game? What's your take on who's aligned with whom? It appeared that So was the big target from the challenge and yet she won, would it be fair to say that she would be an easy ally to have, especially if you consider yourself to be an island at this point?

...not all.

cochran was alright, i admit

i know everyone well. on a personal level and how they play. except maybe jenn.

who's aligned? Yali girls, as well as the NuAsmat's i think. and then me and dale. So is tight with jenn

Tonight I have two options. Leaning option 2
1) Stick with NuYali and vote out Jenn. However, there's a chance that plan is BS and they are trying to vote me out. Would establish that I go to f5 with NuYali
2) Flip with Dale to NuAsmat and take out Val. There's a way lesser chance this plan is BS, but requires me to fuck over three people (Nadiya, Jac, Val). I am leaning this way because 1) it's more fun. across three seasons I would have never backstabbed a group like this before 2) way decrease my perceived threat, as i will have now fucked over three people and people will think i'm less of a jury threat 3) I think that would let me and dale go to f6 with NuAsmat, where Reed and Drew would be by far the biggest threats, and I would barely have to immunity my way to the end (need be). I can go to f4 (hopefully) with Dale, Jenn, and So, all of whom I would destroy in the finals

I just have to convince Dale option 2 is the move

JK option 1 is better I want to go to F5 with Yali, changed my mind.
