Another power coming into play. Powers complicate everything.
I am wondering what it is going to be, because not being an idol actually makes me a little more scared. Who is to say it can't be something more potent or dangerous? I hope it somehow ends up in the hands of someone who will tell me what it is and who I can estimate their possible use of it.
The last tribal went exactly how I wanted it to go. I had a good feeling Dolly would get two, maybe even three votes, but I knew with Dolly and Andrea fighting for each others lives, and Julie promising me that she would vote Burton, I had the votes locked for Dolly to be safe, and for Burton to go, regardless what Misty desired or Chase was considering.
Chase actually asked me later if I was okay voting Dolly, lol. Like...no Chase, I'm not okay voting Dolly. Dolly for me right now is someone in this game who actaully feels somewhat integrated. She, in my opinion, wouldn't flip the way Burton would. Even if there is some stupid assumption that he could suddently be the catalyst to us sweeping the rest of the challenges, at merge, we only have five people who I think could legitimately be trusted. Why not RISK us keeping around Dolly another round, and hope we win it. We at least this way are giving ourselves a shot at having six strong for mix or merge, whereas in my opinion the other route would just be leaving us with a time-bomb. Ya know what bombs do? Bombs explode. Alright? Alright.
So, hopefully it works out. I'll honestly be fine taking out whoever at six, and I think Julie and my link will make certain that I am safe and can choose a route that will net me a path to be the last person on this tribe standing if things stay that bad. More than likely we will lose again, and that is a reality I am prepared to face. But I have no regrets about taking Burton out. Besides, it easily could have just turned this round had Dolly gone into another "Well person X is weaker than Burton...why not go after them". NO! I made sure to cut that crap before the rest of these people even smelt it by just getting him out.
Right now the life of my game is very dependent on not losing more challenges. These five who I have placed my faith in from the start of this game at tribals, are now the people I need to depend on to make sure we don't go there to tribals for a long time. Cause if not, Babs has this whole thing wrapped up, unless they have some flippers.
