Episode #5

Well, anyway, that last vote was hilarious. Basically, Chase came to me and started telling me about how Burton told him that Kelly asked him how to vote. The two said that Burton should probably lie, and Burton decided to tell Kelly people are voting for ME. Basically...neccesitating Kelly who obviously should have felt in a bad position that her best move would be to vote me "as well". No one was voting me of course, Burton just said this.

Chase and I started really thinking how we could flip this vote on Burton. But I mentioned how it was so nice how The rest of the girls were the ones who actually got the vote toward Kelly rolling (not that this wasn't what we were going to do anyway). The girls doing this made me feel that it was probably in the best interest to allow them to linger in that feeling they probably have that they were the catalyst here. It's always best to keep others think they are in power. If people don't know they are being controlled, they are easier to control. Chase and I, I do believe, genuinely have a stranglehold over this tribe...but that could easily change, so I will not get too content.

Anyway, that wasn't the first time, telling Kelly to vote me, that Burton has rubbed me and Chase the wrong way. He's straight up annoying for starters. Beyond that though, he also came to me and asked who I thought was in power. I just said Andrea, and made up and excuse that I think she is just playing dumb. I knew if it got back to Andrea, I would be able to spin it in some way that we were talking more about who was "playing great games at this point" or some BS, and that spin would probably make her feel so good about herself that she would erase the negative connotations of me saying she is controlling the tribe. She'd also probably feel validated that she is leading the tribe, which is a pro too.

But, alas, nothing about me saying that to my knowledge was cycled around, besides me telling Chase that is what I answered. What was interesting though was Burton saying that his guess was Chase. This I told Chase, and that really got Chase wanting to maybe flip this. I'm glad that happened like that. Chase at a point told me when he wanted to keep Kelly, why he wanted to keep Burton. I felt like those two bonded...so it's good I was able to show Chase that him extending an olive branch to Burton only meant Burton would use any information or attempts to influence him as Chase being a "leader".

I also brought up idols. Now, in survivor, you just NEVER FRIGGIN KNOW. Chase thought it'd be a good idea to maybe place 2 votes on Burton. Even though were weren't gonna completely flip it, we felt it was just better to be absolutely positive that even if some idol is magically in play, Burton will still get the axe. As such, he and I voted Burton. I made my vote decorated with Burton's infamous whacky emoticons. Burton on the other hand, left the ominous and epic "you have been warned" statement. All in all, epic tribal council. I'm absolutely enjoying this game, and am really feeling like I've got myself into a great position, with Chase, who seems like a real cool guy.

Now, I don't know what Chase will do when the heat turns up, but I will straight up be a loyal ass ally to him, so I sincerely hope overtime he will give me the same. But you just NEVER FRIGGIN KNOW IN SURVIVOR like I said. But...I think I'm happier with our connection than other possible ones I could consider for this game. He definitely thinks a lot like me, but also will probably present himself as more threatening, which equates to a very perfect ally.

So let me tell you, this round got a little more rocky.

First of all, Burton actually admitting to me that he told Kelly to vote me was hilarious. I didn't think he would, because it's just such a bad move. That is turning me off no MATTER what, at least lying would give you some hope to not make me think you are worthless to me. Don't you want me to want you?

Guess not, lol.

Also, friggin things with our six are now all nice and rocky. Misty, that little ol' mastermind, essentially wants to vote Dolly. Because she's weak? As the cover, sure that's what she is saying. But Julie came and told me that the reason is because Misty thinks it's Chase/herself/Julie vs. Dolly/Andrea/Me. Now, that is very much a good guess, because I am close to those blondes. However, that is not my concern. The only problem that really makes me raise my eyebrow at that is that I think Chase had a bit to do with this. I think Chase is scared about ME in this game, and said this in order to make sure that I stay loyal to him, or worse off, because he is with Burton on some level and wants to keep him around. Burton and he have this weird thing where it seems like he wants to be Burtons father in this game. Chase needs to move on from this cause the guy will flip like a patty. He don't need no Daddy.

Right now I feel confident that the blondes will indeed vote Burton, and I'm ready to get that lice out of my hair. Burton hasn't helped my game in the slightest, and if we REALLY need him for the purposes of winning, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN WINNING WITH HIM HERE MORE THAN WE HAVE BEEN.

That's all really. So I basically had Julie say she would just PLEASE stick her vote on Burton, and told her she's basically my person. I explained myself and wanting to vote Burton in many ways to Misty and Chase, and I think they still just want to keep Burton...but I cannot let that happen. My game is more important than theirs. Their comfort is insignficant. Especially hers. She doesn't talk nearly enough to have a say.

So hopefully Burton will just leave, and I won't have to worry about him. From there, we can hopefully either win all the challenges, rock a mix, or if we lose, I can do some more work in a position that is GOOD, unlike the one Misty is trying to put me in.
