Episode 14

[Brenda Lowe]

Tell me about you & Kenneth right now.

[Chad]

I have no idea.

He says I'm freaking out when I tried to spend all day telling him, "Dude. It's not a big deal. Game moves. Blah. We're cool."

That was annoying, though. The guy's been completely checked out for how many days? How long have we been playing? And all of a sudden he comes back yesterday and realizes he's in an ORG and starts doing something. I'm not sure what, but it was something.

I mean part of the reason I was trying to keep him around and was leaning towards going with that "side" is because they were sitting around in Refuge for like two weeks doing literally nothing while the rest of us were playing the game. I was almost looking at them like goats. And I would have beat that into the jury's heads if I made the end.

Maybe he wasn't all gung ho with that boot Ralph plan yesterday and it was all Mia. OK. So? I told him that I conceded that may be the case. It didn't really matter much though. It's really not a big deal. They were planning a move on Ralph and not telling me about it. I planned a move on Mia to avoid an idol and didn't tell them about it. Doesn't that make us even or something?

It's not a big deal and I really have no time for that right now, so I'm just going to ignore it.

And I'm sorry but when you send me a PM about how excited you are about our new alliance and then two hours later I hear you are on a mission to flip the entire vote and you don't tell me about it, I'm going to raise an eyebrow.

[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?

[Chad]

Well, the Lisa vote craziness was more about fear of an idol than a blindside to prevent a blindside. I knew the votes were there to get Lisa out if our Nuku 5 voted that way. What we didn't know is if Lisa was the one that got the idol or if Ken would be willing to use it on her. And there was a chance that Ken, Lisa, Mia, and Ashley (or any combination of that) all threw their votes at Ralph, and then Lisa used the idol. That's why we wanted the 5 votes on Mia.

Now though, there's nothing to really act upon or get ahead of. As long as Debb and Carter stick with us, we have the majority and we also have the idol. So nothing can possibly go wrong. Unless Cochran gets some bright idea I cannot talk him out of and does something to fuck it all up for us. Which I can't guarantee, but I am going to work hard to make sure that happens. He told me he used his 24 hour break to "think about everything" which never leads to anything good.

I would like to see Ashley hit the road tomorrow night, barring an immunity win. And if Cochran fights me on this I am going to tear his head off.

[Jeff Probst]

What is the incentive for Carter and Debb to stick with you guys?

[Chad]

My charm and good looks.

Honestly there isn't. I'm using everything I got on Debb to make her think that me, Cochran, and Ralph are not an unbreakable F3.

In all honesty, she has a much better chance of getting near the end with us as opposed to them, though. She can't make a move now. It's way too early. She'll just put her self into an even smaller minority with a different group that really doesn't give a shit about her. She should be good for this next vote at least. So I have to play it round by round and see how we feel it is going.

I do want to keep Mia and Jo around for a while. That'll give me options too.

[Chad]

My plan is to try to make Ashley GTFO of here tonight. Hopefully she doesn't win immunity here and this happens.

[Chad]

I have a feeling they've caught on to my playing both sides shit and I'm going tonight. If I am, it's been fun, guys.
