#3717 Nadiya thought that Drew and Reed were tight with Jenn as most people did, BUT really thought that they were also still tight with So and Kelly, regardless of the proof otherwise. Because of this, I couldn't work with Nadiya in a way where I thought she was comfortable. I felt like I had to tiptoe to new ideas and I lost a lot of momentum while also exerting a lot of force.

Along with all that, I'm sure Nadiya could wonder why I was so quick to want to align with them, even though we were supposed to go with our New Yali 6.

Let me get into what this means Alliance-wise:

But yeah, we have a super weird alliance because of this. We have the New Yali 6 and the Supah Fine 5 (I regret this name now) + Jenn. Therefor, we've got this weird amorphous 9 person alliance in which only three people are aware of both. I say this is the alliance because at least the votes basically went with what the two alliances established. the SF5+Jenn decided not to rock the boat and vote out Kelly, so things seem even now. But there is so much potential for me to make someone angry.

That's the wonky alliance story that should have probably given me pause and maybe did give Nad pause. I read into things a lot, but it's something I have to watch out for.

Nad is more very strange. She gets nervous and then I try to calm her and then she gets confident and therein I think she gains control. People see this, so I should watch out for it. In this very moment, she's got a lot of physical things that can back her up (Idols, IC wins, Likability). I didn't realize this. I don't think she's as obvious as a Drew, but she's more communicative than a more beatable Jac, and I need that. Umm. So, no, atm I couldn't beat her, but I can work on it. I've said that before though...

#3722 Which of your two alliances would you turn your back on first you think?

#3725 Easiest would be New Yali 6. Like, no sweat, bye Joaq, bye Dan. Dale's a little more complicated. Then there's So and the rest. If it happens like that. Things'll start to get interesting right around So (maybe Dale) and the SF5+Jenn.

Is that one the best path for me, I don't know. I only offered that one as an answer because it is, in the immediate sense, my fine friend, the path of least resistance. Damn, it's tempting, Kelly girl, but what will I have to show from that?

#3730 True, at the end of the day, it's getting to the end that matters most.

#3831 Old Val's "social game" may have landed her in someone's aim. I might be in trouble if my alliance doesn't want to save me.

#3838 I'm gonna vote for one of those Joaq, Dale, Dan bros. That's what I've been wanting to do.

Drew told me that people were throwing my name out there. Even if he's lying for an ends I'm not sure about, right now, it's allowing me to vote for the person I'VE been wanting to vote for. If I go tonight, I'm writing the name that I've been wanting to write.

#3840 Well, shit now Drew is seeming a little suspect to me. I can't confront him, because he is smart. Dammit Drew, I wanted to work with you.
