Well, I have decided as is quite obvious to completely flip on my original tribe! Isn't that exciting? Aren't I a bastard?
Anyway, it wasn't a decision easily made, but I had to make the decision because I just felt way too much like Chase was attempting to control this game. If I ended up at the end of the game with Chase, after so many people like Natalie, Parvati, and Ashley were depending on me to be their last hope in this game, and I essentially would have had to screw them over...
So I am trying to win jury votes here, not lose them. While I know that I won't now get the three votes on the players who are leaving as of now, I figure that since Andrea is making this move with me, she too will be viewed negatively. Furthermore, since it will be up to Natalie and Ashley to slice the throats of people who are on their tribe, maybe being more talkative and personable a player than Andrea, the bitter jurors from the girls tribe will give their votes to me.
Also, something is just more impressive about being outnumbered by a tribe, and then making your way to the end, and I feel I can manipulate the situations to get myself to the end even by dismembering my previous tribe.
I definitely am making a lot of assumptions about players, and making a bold move by doing what I am doing here, but I am completely sure in my choices, and won't back down from it. I had myself in a great position originally in my old tribe, but I think I would have not won amongst them in this game giving what I would need to do to this other side I'm currently with if I stuck with them. I think I need to try this route, and hope that my impressions of who will vote bitter, and how they will make their decisions on the jury are correct.
All the cards are shuffling up in the deck, and I'm just hoping I know how they are being dealt, and I do indeed draw the winning hand.
