1. Jon announced an impending double boot evening. Do you have all your ducks in a row to prepare for that? What's your ideal scenario on the other side of it?
I am super duper nervous but I still have my public immunity idol in my pocket!!
My goal now that we finished the Final 9 with a Brooke blindside, is to try to stick with Lee/Moana/Shane/Benji to some degree here. However, Shane is also close with Zach. I could see Monika being an easy vote at the Final 8 tribal(however she did tell me she had an idol, if that is true then we will soon find out). Monika was someone I truly wanted to work with, but she sided with Brooke/Zach during this past round. It showed that she wasn't really ready to make a move. She was too busy playing a middle game.
My hope is to see Zach & Monika leave, so we get a Final 6 with 5 people I can potentially still work with going into an end game.
2. What idols and advantages are you aware of? Are you concerned they might mess up your best laid plains?
I am aware of Monika's potential idol from the OG yellow tribe. My public immunity idol. Zach also, rumorly, has an idol nullier. We will see if that is true soon enough as well.
I am very concerned with the potential of an idol nullifer coming out when I try to play my idol.
3. what's your plan to put people on the jury who are willing to vote for you? does your game speak for itself?
I think my game speaks for itself. I don't think Brooke, for example, could be angry with my elimination of her. She came for me first, I finished the deed. I really hope that people would vote Phoebe to win. I feel like she has been an intense fighter for awhile. She hasn't been the best in the challenges. She has been more of a social force that keeps fighting.
4. Right now, who is the biggest threat to win? Why? Can you stop them?
I think Moana, Shane are the two biggest ones. I think I could beat them, if Benji/Lee/Rohan start to recognize this as well. My hope is to see Zach go to break up Shane/Zach(Also because he never talks game to me at all for 2 rounds now). Then, Shane will be an easier boot afterwards. I think Monika is an outside threat as well. She has made some solid moves & hoping she goes during the double boot on sunday.
Ideally we get Monika/Zach out during top 8 ---> top 6
Top 6 ---> Top 4
Ideally we get to see eliminations of Moana and/or Shane (at least one of them)
Benji/Rohan/Myself/Lee are kind of on more of an equal footing for the Finale(in my opinion)
