Stranded in the Marquesas

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?

I probably am not winning the game. I have been doing this really crazy thing these past few rounds. Encouraging everyone to actually play the game and not let the game play them. If not one of these players even attempts to pretend to want to make a move this round with Mia and I, then the 2 players who didn't do so when they should have will look like some of the biggest morons in Stranded history. For real. I mean one of the best qualities and All Star player has would be the ability to read situations and discern what their true position is. If these players can't do that? I dunno why they would even bother trying anything at this point.

My ideal boot order is I honestly don't care about the boot order. It's me and Mia to the end or bust right now. No one except Mia is off the table right now. She and I have been fighting and trying to make something happen for so long, and the fact that we keep getting shut down, in an All Star game, of all things, is baffling to me.

I have made my pitch to Carter and Debb to make a move tonight. I tried getting Ralph as well, but he seems content with being a whipping boy for Chad and Cochran. Carter and Debb seem to be hung up on the fact that they don't like Mia. I pointed out to them that you don't have to like the players you're working with, you just have to have a mutually beneficial goal in mind. If they really pass up on working with both of us just because of their personal issue with Mia, then I will be so pissed, lol.

I also told them that maybe they are more well off than I assume they are. I don't believe so. My gut tells me they are 4th and 5th. But I entertained the idea that maybe they do believe they are in a much better spot than I assume, so why not use us to take someone out that they feel like will not have their back and will try to make a move against them eventually? There has to be someone out there that they don't trust within that 5. There has to be. If they really are just taken in by this we are one big tight five and are a family and will never turn on one another out of some romantic or idealistic sense of loyalty, then I guess they do kind of deserve to be 4th and 5th for being so stubborn about the whole situation. This is it, final 7. Mia and I are free votes. After we're gone there is no wiggle room.

I am not entirely sure why players in an All Star season are so comfortable falling for the oldest Survivor trick in the book, but they are, and it's fucking infuriating how comfortable they are with it.

Also congrats on finding a picture of Stephanie Valencia in which she does not look like a gremlin.

If the issue with them working with you is that they don't like Mia, and you see that as them crippling their own games, why are you doggedly sticking by her? Is that not crippling your game just as much?

Not knocking you for it, just wondering you would stick die-hard with one ally when by the sound of it, there are twice as many right there for you if you weren't attached to her at the hip.



Also what about working with people not-named-Carter-and-Debb?

I am working hard to get Ralph to ditch Cochran right now. Cochran and Chad are the 2 biggest threats to win right now, so that is why I need them out of here.

Also, ditching Mia honestly does me no good tbh. I made my point as clear as I can make it with them. They don't have to be best friends in this game, voting out one of the power players is a strictly logical move they should make. If they remove emotion and their personal feelings about Mia out of the equation then they would know for a fact what move should be made. Get one of Chad or Cochran out since they have been the ones in control here. I also have been pointing out that she is simply not a threat to win because of how everyone views her right now. Mia is far less of a dangerous player than Chad or Cochran. So that is my pitch to everyone. Remove emotion from the equation and make the logical move.

Rank the players in the game (inc. yourself) from most-likely-to-play-emotionally to least.

No wai

Debb is in to make a move tonight. She told me someone in that group has an idol and might play it. However, I think she is actually willing to work with Mia here.

Do you trust her to follow through? And without pointing out the obvious numbers, who would be the fourth then, and are they willing?

Well typically when she was unwilling to follow through she would act very wishy washy and give excuses as to why it can't happen. She said she will pull in Carter to help us. And without bringing up the obvious numbers, we could totally be the A-Team.
