Episode 16

[Stephanie Valencia]

Final 7!

Did anything get revealed at the challenge that will affect your strategy?

There’s only a few rounds left to impress the jury. Do you feel you’ve done enough to have a compelling argument to win the game at this point? Or are you looking at the final rounds as the chance to put your case forward?

What is your ideal boot order from now until Final Tribal Council?

[Cochran]

I think I won...

Ralph is doubting Chad, straight up said he wanted to boot him.

Carter wants Debb he Ralph me to be the F4

Debb said Ralph her me for F3, so they want to go to the F5 with us, Ralph will probably make a move to build his resume or whatever, and then I'll work my cochy magic to make it to the end from the F4 on. Plus, Ralph won't vote for me ever, lets be real so worst case it's a tiebreaker then.

Lol I sound so Cocky. I am going to play up my "I'm playing my idol tonight!!!" Thing before tribal tomorrow, and during it, keep it and then pay it at F6 so that I'm there at the F5, and then hope I'm in the right side of shit from then on.

I'll answer your stuff later Steph!!

That booting Mia - no wait doing Jo! was very vague and mysterious Mr Cochran. But it seems to have worked out? Why the sudden change of plans? Your idea, or someone else tugging some strings?

I'll explain that before I start jumping in to PM's. I kind of had an awful headache, so writing those PM's to people trumped doing my confessional and explaining everything. I think that it worked out well actually, I am all but in the F5 at this point, and hopefully with people that want me in the end, which I think that 5 out of 7 of these people want me there to be honest.

It was a little of both, actually. I was the one who started to push everything in that direction, but I'd have to give credit to Mia for planting that seed in my head. Chad also actually, even though he tried to remain neutral on the whole thing you could tell it's what he wanted, but I think he is counting on a Jo vote at the end of the game honestly.

Mia goes home tonight, and that's why this worked out, because I don't see a way in hell that Debb and Carter try and make a move now. I mean, it wouldn't make sense? And I would expect mia and Ken to hop over to whoever they leave out and boot them in the next two spots to be honest, so I think they know their best bet is to try and solidify their relationshits with the rest of our alliance to try and make it to the end.

Five out of seven want you at the end. Why is that? Loyalty? Beatability? Do you want to be sitting at the end with people who (think they) can beat you?

Loyalty I think. Maybe Beat-ability, but I feel like Chad and I have the best chance to win this game, so it would be misguided if so. I mean, everyone is painting me as this leader type, and I definitely will play off that I was the one who made everyone feel comfortable if I do get the end, which is just much better for my game to gain votes.

I think I've dug myself a pretty big hole as far as sitting next to someone who can beat me. I mean, honestly, I think I've played well enough to win against anyone left if I play my final speech right, but Chad is a top contender also. I think it would be a fight to beat him in the end honestly, but I can't vote him out unless it's between he and Ralph. He is a really good friend, and is probably the person I am second closest to from outside of this game (Ralph being the first obviously) and I know this is a game but I can't do that to him, and I don't think he will to me either.

[Cochran]

It's fucking less than a half hour until the challenge and only Mia and I are online?

What the fuck is this game. I still need too have time to frantically tell everyone I'm scared and I'm playing my idol tonight

Answer to Q#1:

Nope. I don't eve remember most of that besides the fact that I was tied in being voted most likely to win with Jo and Chad, and Jo isn't here anymore so. I am more about making it to the end over anything else at this point. And as far as making big moves? I feel like I did a good enough job of being seen in this game, in addition to keeping my entire alliance comfortable (which can be given to Chad as well to be honest) so I should be fine if I make it there.

Q#2:

Mia, Ken, Debb, Chad/Carter. I think that it should be easy right? I mean, Mia goes tonight, I drop my idol tomorow and I have 3 out of the 5 on my side for things from there. Mia can NOT win immunity tonight, holy shit that is so important lol
