Episode 14

[Brenda Lowe]

Sarah leaving. Good for you or terrible for you?

[Jolanda]

Sarah leaving isn't terrible for me, but it's not good. Had she stayed, then the alliance of FF + Ken would have been in power, and we literally could have picked off the other four people until we made the final five. Of course that wouldn't be fun, but it would be very effective.

So here is my new plan. Chad just came to me and told me how he was afraid of the pairs of Debb/Carter and Ralph/Cochran. So my goal this round will be to get Chad to vote off one of Debb or Carter, and maybe even get Cochran and Ralph involved. If I can make that happen, the FF+K alliance will be tied four to four, we could trick Cochran Chad and Ralph to vote out the other one of Debb and Carter, and then we'd be in power until the final four, where we vote off Ashley and it's the F3 that I've wanted/told people I wanted since the beginning of the game, me, Mia, Ken.

If I can pull this off single handedly, that would literally be amazing. Will it happen? Seeing as how this game changes literally every second, probably not.

But hey, I made the final 9 and I made tenth place my bitch Next curse/obstacle: 6th place. For some reason Stranded starts a string of curses for me when it comes to placements:

I got tenth my first season playing Stranded, and since then I've come in tenth 3 more times, and I came in 9th and 11th (rounding out to tenth) in two consecutive games hosted by Stranded players (Mia and Ibe) So BASICALLY I've come in tenth 5 times overall....

Then in Patagonia, I got sixth place, and since then I came in sixth only two more times, so it's not as strong of a curse as tenth place is.

Hopefully this season will begin a "curse" of me winning all the time?

I'll probably do a fun long confessional sometime in the weekend if I have time. But for now it's off to bed, I got a radio shift tomorrow so if you're in Long Island tune in to 88.7 from 9-11 to hear my voice

[Brenda Lowe]

weblink pls, that is slightly out of the way for me.

[Jeff Probst]

Do you feel as though this game is moving at a pace that is one step ahead of the obvious? I was just considering that with the Lisa vote off, it seemed as though there was a blindside to prevent another blindside (that wasn't even happening). Do you expect more players to act ahead of an obvious move and if so, what's the next obvious move that you see in the future, and what would acting ahead of that be?

[Jolanda]

I'll answer that ^ in the next episode (assuming and hoping that I'm still here)

But I'm just getting here literally now and APPARENTLY Mia and Ken are alright with Ashley going, but they want to put votes on Carter as well in case she has the idol?

Idk. Just what I've been hearing, so I've been pushing that to Chad to see what he says about the matter.

I picked a GREAT weekend to miss

[Jolanda]

YAAAAAASSSSS

As soon as I saw it was between me Ashley (target) and Carter (secondary target) I knew that i had to win and I went on a hunch and went backwards in the thread and won omg

Now I think we are voting out Ashley tonight.... at least I hope so

[Jolanda]

A little nervous about tonight, because if Ashley plays an idol it might be the end of Ken and it would be all my fault, so Im' hoping and PRAYING that Ash doesn't have the idol and she just goes home tonight.

i know Carter will be pissed, but it'll get me on the good side of Chad and then HOPEFULLY we can make a move together that will save me, Mia, and Ken.

The three of us literally need to make it to the final 6 together, which seems impossible at this point ugh. I feel like I've been protecting them too much through this game, but at the same time I don't because they are the only two people i can actually trust here. I'm still going for them at the end, since that has been what I've wanted since literally the beginning of the game. Lord KNOWS who would win there, but I'm hoping it would be me.

But for tonight, Im praying an idol hasn't been found....

[Jolanda]

The reason I went against what Mia and Ken wanted in voting for Carter for safety is because if I do that, I feel like I will have no more traction with either Chad or Cochran, who could help me get further in this game (as much as Mia and Ken would hate to admit that). If I vote Carter after I say I'll vote Ashley, then I'd look like I liar like I was last round, and they may stop trying to help me since we never actually vote together alol.

It's a risk and I'm literally playing with Ken's life but I'm hoping it pays off

[Jolanda]

Ashley leaves with fireworks that do nothing but help my game what a lady
