I got along just fine with Morgan until she started being ignorant towards me. But I digress.
I have literally no idea what's happening at this TC >.>

My guess is Bob flipped.
I'm totally rooting for Bob atm. He's in a great spot and he's playing a fantastic game, imo. He was never really in a majority alliance but he's doing all the right things to keep himself alive.

So much to do, so much to say. I was the merge boot, I’d predicted as much for a long time - Shane’s blowup really fucked me over, and outed me as playing both sides. I didn’t want to play as aggressive a game as I ended up having too, but hey, at least I managed to make a few cool moves for our audience, eh?
First off, can we talk about this “Alec had finals deals with everyone” business goin’ on? I made precisely two finals deals in this game: I had a F3 deal with Bob and Jaclyn from the Coach round, which me and Jaclyn both gave zero shits about and was merely a way of getting Bob to vote Coach, because that round was a clusterfuck. And I made a F2 deal with Hope. Morgan may THINK she had a finals deal with me, but I just said nothing on the matter and let her take implications away from what I said. So no, I was not going around making finals deals left and right, haha. I’m not THAT dumb...instead I made groupchats left and right, lol.
Cao, I don’t know what your telling Hope, but that’s not how Crazy Shane happened at all. First of all, we agreed to a check in thread at 9:15, and we’d decide sit outs from what happened there, so your “whoever didn’t show up thing” is completely wrong. Second of all, Shane didn’t blow up because he got sit out, or to fuck with your game. He blew up cause he forgot he was going to Japan, and didn’t want to just go inactive quietly, he wanted to have an impact on the game. If anything, the blow up itself was horrible for me and Morgan because we were outed as playing both sides, but we managed to scramble and make you and Coach the bad guys.
Which reminds me, after the blowup you decided it’d be an EXCELLENT idea to be mad shady and noncommittal when I talked to you. And it was like, Coach was already bringing up my name, you were not betraying Coach, so he was enemy #1, you #2. And no, it was true, it wasn’t just Shane giving me info dude.
Anyway, time to answer John’s actual questions, haha.
What did you think of you time in The Survivor Games: Tuvalu?
I had a blast. Like seriously, you’re one of the best hosts I’ve ever had John. The challenges were fun, everything was constantly crazy, and I feel like I managed to leave my mark on the game.
Who among the remaining players do you think will win? Why?
That’s tough. Right now, barring an immunity run Jaclyn will probably go out next. Even if she makes the end, Courtney was invis to the rest of us. Pete was invisible, then drunk, then paranoid, so no. Of the remaining four, any could win.
Who among the remaining players for you want to win? Why?
Besides the obvious Jax answer, personally, I’m rooting for Elyse. I know she didn’t talk to some people, but as I’ve been saying for quite some time, she is in by far the best position. And I knew this, and STILL didn’t want to vote for her this round - I wanted Brenda out, because she be a sneaky bitch. If Bobdawg gets to the end, I’d consider voting for him as well, but I don’t think his social game is there, unless he or my fellow jurors can convince me otherwise. Morgan/Brenda were waaaaaaaaaay too cuthroat in my opinion, like during the Kenny vote they were misleading him til’ the very end and laughing about it in the groupchats. And like, Brenda’s not bad in one on ones, but the sheer detachment she has unnerves me.
Is there anything you wish you could have done differently in the game?
A lot of stuff, I’m sure. But I think I played a decent game, I made it through seven tribal councils, which is a bunch as far as I’m concerned, particularly for a merge boot. I wish I didn’t have to let the Kenny and Cochran boots go like they did, because both were solid guys and straight up with me, but I don’t think they were bad moves for my game. My fault lies not necessarily in my strategic game, but my social game - I came off too aggressive, which I get.
Who do you think will be joining you next? Who do you want to join you next?
Jaclyn’s out next unless she wins immunity. If she does, I don’t think they’ll waste a vote on Courtney. Bobdawg had come to me with a plan to have me/him/Pete play the middle, and in retrospect I shouldn’t have been so gullible to think he’d want me in the F3 with me. He’s probably gonna try that with just Pete, and if he’s successful good on him - but Pete’s a wildcard, and tricky.
If it works, they could send out Elyse or Brenda. If it doesn't, Bobdawg could go packing.
Did you enjoy The Survivor Games: Tuvalu?
Dude, like I said, I had a blast.

You just said you were playing both sides. Me and Coach had NEVER brought up your name before Shane's meltdown. If Coach did, then I sure as hell didn't. You just assumed that because I had ties with Coach I was also bringing up your name. After we found out you weren't 100% with us, then yeah I wanted you out. Because I did nothing to you and you were making me out to be some horrible person.
I can tell you this right now, had we went to TC earlier than round 3 I would have NEVER brought your name up. Of everyone I was going to put Sandra or Pete's name forward because they seemed the least active. So the idea got put into your head that I was against you for some reason. Be it you or by Shane but like I've told you before that was never the case prior to Shane's whole blowup, and STILL wouldn't have been if you actually talked to me about it instead of making me out to be some bad guy in the whole situation.
Regardless, everyone's grudge over me sitting Shane out was just dumb. We still won the challenge and Pete told me he'd be back in time.. lo and behold, he was back in time. It was a sorry ass excuse to hate on me.
Oh, and btw Alec
Had you guys come to me with the idea to vote out Coach and were HONEST with me, guess what? I just may have to prove to you there's no hard feelings. But don't you remember that you and Morgan told me to vote Bob, acting like he was going home? Bob told me otherwise. I knew Coach was the vote and the fact that you guys were trying to play me for a fool pissed me off. Again, instead of asking my opinion on something you decided to just go behind my back and leave me out of the loop.. or so you thought, but I digress.

...that's what I'm referring to. If you'd been willing to stick with me after the blow up, different story, but you priortized Coach over me, and Coach wanted me after that, and rightly so. So you were doomed.

Bob wins immunity!
So is this it for Jaclyn? Or are Bob and Pete going to turn the tide on the others?

I keep thinking back to what Bob's trying to accomplish with flipping to get me out, and I don't think it was to side with the three girls. Hear me out here:
I think Bob's gonna take Pete back with him and flip to Jaclyn and Courtney to eliminate one of Brenda/Morgan/Elyse, because they'll never vote each other out before him. By breaking up the threesome before F6, he keeps himself alive.
At F6, he gets Jaclyn, at F5, another one of the girls, leaving him with one of Brenda/Elyse/Morgan, Courtney, and Pete, which is a solid F4 for him to get to the end in my book. The target will be on the remnant of the girls, given how the jury is stacked, making it a sort of Phillipines F4 scenerio - if the girl wins, Bob's voted out. If she doesn't, Bob makes F3 and will probably win the game.
This is just my theory on how he's approaching the game. So when Jaclyn comes here tonight, feel free to point and laugh at how wrong I was, haha.

We pretty much discussed everything on AIM after your elimination, Alec. But you know I love you and hated voting you out, you were by far my favourite guy in this game.
The point when I decided to ditch original Malaga, my alliance was Morgan/Elyse/Brenda. They shared everything with me and I shared everything with them. I wasn't about to betray Malaga and them, just to get you/me to the end, cause then I'd have backstabbed like everyone in the game.
I did want you at least in the Final 5 though! Absolutely. You were my four fave people, after the challenge the round I left, I just assumed Pete was leaving, but Morgan/Brenda messaged me saying they were voting you and I was kind of left without a choice. :/
They spilled the beans to me earlier about the Cochran group chat, every single detail, and you kept that from me and I didn't really get why. You did call me a sweetheart in there though, so I knew you liked me, and figured I'd get Cochran out to get you closer to me, cause I knew you/Cao were never going to work together.
But yeah, Jaclyn kept telling me you always talked about going to the end with her and were doing the same with others, so I had no idea if you were truly honest with me about the finals deal. Of course it sucks to know now you were being genuine, but I think you understand how it played out from my end too.
I'm very interested to see what happens at this next vote. I'm hoping that Morgan/Elyse/Brenda stay in control, but I could easily see Bob/Pete/Jaclyn/Courtney teaming up to take one of them out.
I tried to flipflop between two alliances in my last game. It was fun cause I was in power for a few rounds and got to decide who left. <3 Eventually people got sick of it and just grouped together to vote me out lol.

It will be an interesting vote for sure. Bob and Pete seem to have a lot of pull right now.

Drat, figured as much would happen. I just wish it was Brenda/Morgan, but the smart move is Elyse, since she had people like me's votes. Next up is probably Jaclyn, unless she wins immunity.

Elyse.  This sucks! I was really hoping you'd make it to the end. But I do think the game is very exciting these past few rounds.  |
