No worries. I honestly had no damn clue what was happening at some point and I REALLY felt like Alec leaked our spots in that one challenge to Jaclyn. I also want to know if it was his idea to throw the challenge to vote out JK because that makes him less of a winner in my book.
Needless to say, I'll have very tough final TC questions.

I doubt Alec wanted to throw the battleships challenge after Cochran left. Me/Elyse/Brenda had a solid majority to take out either you or him. I don't think he could've felt safe, cause he was definitely the most hesitant to booting Cochran and keeping you around. I'm not even sure how long Alec's been working with Jaclyn for.  Jaclyn warned me for days about Alec making finals deals with literally everyone in the game and we need to take him out. She was pushing it super hard, I finally took her advice and she plans to get me idolled out for it. Like I said, I think she picked up I was in other alliances that didn't include her, so she probably had good reason. I had alliances all over the map, I figured I was going to get caught out for playing all sides at some point. I guess I slipped up somewhere along the lines and I'd be curious to find out where. |

Elyse never even spoke to me after awhile. Honestly at one point I was prepared to do whatever it took to stay in the game so if you, Brenda and Elyse had approached me when we lost to vote out Alec, I would have taken it up in a heartbeat. I only asked to be voted out because I felt like there was nothing else I could do. Had you all pitched that option to me I would have eaten it up. Of course it probably would've only been for one round, but hey.

Honestly, I think you were probably going to leave even if you didn't ask to get voted out.  Elyse was one of my closest allies. <3 I love her. She's not necessarily one of the focus players, but I think she's playing a great under the radar game!  |

This should be a very exciting vote! The dynamics seem to be Morgan/Elyse/Brenda/Pete against Jaclyn/Alec/Courtney/Bobby. I'm assuming that Morgan/Alec would be the targets each side, but who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if Pete/Courtney/Bobby flipped. Rocks would be fun too. |

I could definitely see Bob and Pete flipping. If both were smart they'd play both sides and get themselves to the end.

I'm confused exactly what is going down still. So Alec flipped from Morgan/Brenda/Elyse? He seems to be playing everybody. I highly doubt he wins now. I know from talking to Bob previously that Bob feels he's a legit threat.

I agree. Pete/Bob should see themselves as low men on the totem pole. They could flipflop between the two alliances. I think their best shot to win is against each other.
Okay, I'll explain it the best I can. Basically there was an all female alliance formed a few rounds ago, of Hope/Morgan/Courtney/Jaclyn/Brenda/Elyse. When the new tribes were formed last round, we both had a 3-2 majority on each side, so in our group chat, we decided together to boot Alec on Malaga and Bob on Loa Seki. I guess Jaclyn caught onto the fact I was working with Morgan/Elyse/Brenda and was going to vote her out at the merge, so she passed her idol to Alec to get me out instead, and switched the vote to Sandra, to get herself more numbers at the merge. That's why right now, everyone is pissed at Jaclyn. As far as I know, Jaclyn lied to Courtney/Bobby too, and didn't tell them that she was giving her idol to Alec to get me out.
Alec didn't really flip on Morgan/Brenda/Elyse. We all agreed to vote him out, on Malaga, me/Morgan/Brenda/Pete intended him to leave 4-1, and told him to vote for Pete. So really we backstabbed him, Jaclyn saved him, so that's why he's on her side now. As far as I know, Alec wanted a final five of Hope/Alec/Brenda/Morgan/Elyse. He approached me with a finals deal a few days back, which I agreed to, but I knew he'd made the same deal with everyone in the game. Jaclyn, more than anyone, was pushing me to get him out, so she was either lying from that point, or changed her mind on that last day I was in the game, and figured he was more useful to her game than me.
That's my perspective of what happened anyway. I'm sure there's even more I don't know about and will find out when more people join us here or in post-game reading.

Wow... this is all very interesting.
yeah I basically got screwed by everyone hating me. I have to admit though, Bob and me were working pretty close and we were going through the idea of an all male alliance of myself, him, Coach, JK, Cochran and Pete. Of course it all went to shit but the idea was to counter both alliances.

Honestly, I wish I was on Loa Seki from the beginning. I got along with those girls so easily and I think they liked me too?! I hope they weren't being fake. I didn't really enjoy Malaga that much at the beginning. I felt like Jaclyn was my only ally, Courtney was great too but she was kind of under the radar. I felt like the guys never really trusted me and I didn't really trust them either, despite a few alliances with them here and there which I think weren't legit on either end.  John K was the equivalent of Alec. He just made alliances with everyone! I had with him too but didn't trust him for second. As much as I liked him on a personal level, I wasn't sad to see him go out, cause I knew he was a threat and wasn't on my side. |

We should have been on the same tribe from the start if only you could see what exactly went down. It was pretty ugly. To start the alliance we formed was me, Shane, Coach and Morgan. They got all pissy at me and Coach because we decided to sit Shane out in the second challenge but we had agreed that whoever showed up last would be sat out cause nobody wanted to come forth and sit out themselves or make a decision either way... that person was Shane. So everyone gets mad at me for sitting Shane out, even though we STILL won the challenge and Shane goes on his tirade and basically tells Alec that me and Coach were targeting him, which at the time was not true at all, in turn I guess Morgan believed it to and they went to Brenda and Elyse and the rest is history. It was total crap because instead of Alec coming to talk to me he just believed what Shane told him. Then Morgan and him completely lied to be during the Coach vote even though I knew from Bob that they were going to vote Coach. So they tell me to vote Bob like I'm an idiot but I voted Shane anyway. Morgan then has the nerve to call me out on not being about our tribal "unity" and tells me they only voted Coach because I was voting for Shane which obviously I know was a load of bullshit. That's why Morgan is probably the only person I really want to see here right now. She treated me like shit even though I was just defending myself from their betrayal. I feel like the only person who was straight with me was Bob (no offense but you clearly just mentioned this women's alliance, although you were straight with me with the Cochran vote and basically got me into the jury, so I do thank you for that) |

Hope/Cao would've been a fun alliance! <3 Getting to talk everything through with you here in Ponderosa makes me sad that didn't happen. I didn't feel like we ever got to sit down and talk about the game and such to the level that we are now. When I had that talk with you after you were considering quitting, I genuinely felt bad for you. I'm not sure if you thought I was just trying to get you on my side, but I was just trying to be nice, cause I hate when people are made to feel bad about themselves over a game. You/Morgan didn't get along though and I loved Morgan. ;_; She's so fierce and her rivalry with Jaclyn is epic, I can't wait to see how it plays out. I loved Alec too and I didn't quite understand why you hated him so much cause he was always sweet to me, but what you said explains it a bit more. Yeah, I wasn't completely honest with you during our time together, but I'd like to think I was the main one pushing for Cochran to leave over you. I really wanted him gone since round two, so kind of made it my mission to get him out that round. I wasn't going to have it any other way. |

Jaclyn warned me for days about Alec making finals deals with literally everyone in the game and we need to take him out. She was pushing it super hard, I finally took her advice and she plans to get me idolled out for it.
