Heyyyyy it's Ken, and it's MERGEEEEE TIMEEEEE.











No, not that type of merge.




















No, not that either.






















idek i just google searched "merge gif"
























Eh, close enough.

Anyways, we're merged! And I can't be more excited!!! I am at the very least part of the jury and that feels really good, especially because it means my original game wasn't a fluke. Sure I had a shitty social game, but I also have some good chops here and I think things have very much improved, even if they're not a tonnnnn better.

So right now we have a plate smashing challenge. Honestly, I think this is a realllllly good merge challenge, even better than Majority Rules in a sense. It creates a lot more intensity and adds another layer to the concept of a pecking order, anonymity being un-present. For that reason specifically, I fucking hate it, and love it. I think it is really starting to flush out the alliance lines I don't truly have a grasp on, and that is really all I need right now.

So far, Keith has done a wholeeee lot of adding Kent. Like a bunch. For no reason, even when Kent is the highest person. That is a whole load of BS to me, and really shows his cards straight up. At the very least, he is unintentionally confirming my suspicions, and the way Keith and Jeff seem to be buddies there has to be SOMETHING going on there, and I'm not for it. I bet you that Jeff's pecking order is something like

1. Jeff
2. Linds/Keith
3. Keith/Linds
4. Taj / Liz / Ken

Or at least something GENERALLLLLY of that sort, I really don't know. The way Lindsey fed me that information about him giving her a F2 deal early in the game makes me feel like she is on my side, not Jeff's, and I hope that idea hasn't changed.

I've made jury here, that's all I wanted. Not some all-star spot, not some landslide win (though I'd take it). I wanted jury, I wanted a say in this game. I did NOT come here to freakin lose in the Final Tribal. If i lose by a vote, or even two, sure, I did well, I tried hard. But no landslide losses here. This is my game to bring some #BIGMOVEZZZZZZZ.

If I can engineer a Kent blindside, I will do it. The unfortunate part is, the Marked Vote makes the numbers awkward: we need 6 votes instead of 5. Considering the idea that Alecia probablyyyy voted for Malcolm, that would mean I need 5 others. If not this round, then the next. If I wanted this round, it would have to be:

1. Darnell
2. Morgan
3. Malcolm
4. Liz
5. Lindsey
6. Taj???

I really think Darnell, Morgan, Malcolm could all get in on this. Morgan's and Keith's rivalry would probably make her want to get in on a vote that opposes Keith. Darnell has definitely expressed interest in being worried about Jeff, as well as Lindsey to a lesser extent. The key votes here are some combo of Liz, Lindsey and Taj. Taj I think would come paired with Lindsey if she is willing, so I think that is key. The main thing that bothers me about the whole situation is really just that Lindsey has been very set on Pagonging the others out of the Icons Alliance, which makes me think her intentions aren't totally pure. And let's be honest, that is NEVERRRRR gonna happen. There is no fuckin way I'm buying into that, even if it somehow DID happen it would be bullshit and I would not feel comfortable with my endgame if Lindsey REALLY felt that comfortable with Kent. If she did, I can see Darnell first, and then maybe me, and htat would be a fuck up to my endgame.

Like I've said, a loss is a loss. If I get voted out, FUCK IT. But I want to put the game into my hands, and as soon as I can, I will.

Waking up to see myself out kinda sucks, considering how long I tried last night, but I guess that's also why I'm out :/

So this round has actually been going....surprisingly well? Like I thought things were going to be a bit bleh but like I think my goals for this round could possibly come to fruition.


So Jeff won immunity. That's really fine with me, I think it's good that he feels safe. Jeff needs to be as comfortable as possible, because in a round or two that dude is gettin smoked right on outta here. If it's not gonna be him, it'll probably be me, cause things gotten happen when they do or I'm gonna get shit on as the game goes further.


The vote should have been a clean one on Malcolm, and at FIRST I thought that Keith and Jeff were gonna act crazy and fuck it up, but it turned out Jeff is fine with it and it's really just Keith's whole deal. I don't know WHY Keith ever tried this "shield" strategy with Malcolm, no one liked it in the first place and no one likes it now. Trying to bring your goat at this point when you have plenty of willing allies is total BULLSHIT and as much as I want to work with Keith going forward he makes it really hard with shit like this.


For example, even after we discussed this and then Jeff talked with him, he was looking okay with it, but would throw away a Morgan vote. Blah blah, shmah shmah. And then Jeff tells me that Malcolm told him Keith went to him about the whole thing. Like whaaaa dude c'mon! I've usually had your best intentions in mind but not when it's about Malcolm, and he's still trying to throw the wool over my eyes on this for some reason.

I think it's really unfortunate I never solidified any alliance or group with Keith, because I really do like him as a person. The bullshit part was that early game really didn't matter, and the alliance on Vicuna 2.0 I formed that I thoughtttt would be for a few rounds wasn't actually necessary.


On the contrast, I think by not being with Keith I put myself in a much better position. Keith is a fun guy and with most people (except for Natalie and Morgan) I think that he's always been a real respectable and nice dude. The less people in my alliance that are like that, the better. Keith being so far out of the loop makes things really good for me in the situation that I end up falling towards the end with him.


Damn I use shitty vocabulary, I gotta stop using the word "nice."


Things are looking good, I just gotta hope my own plans won't be used against me here.
