1. How did the merge breakdown in terms of alliances leading up to that Council?
Basically, the alliances ended up being Moana/Rohan/AK/Benji/Lee who just voted out Flick. Shane/Jacqui/Peter. Brooke/Monika/Zach/Fanalla. I am sort of in that last group, but also kind of a wildcard. Monika is another wildcard who is also tied with AK/Rohan. Fanalla is also wanting to make more of a move with Benji/Lee/Moana it seems eventually. Going into the round, everyone was kind of set on Peter leaving .He then won the immunity challenge, which led the target to go on Jacqui. The idea was kind of a cold-war was starting but paused between Brooke's group and Lee/Moana's group.
Jacqui was about to go, but then Peter gave up his immunity for her to stay. I also grabbed a public idol. Not sure if Peter was thinking I would play it on him or not, but I tend to keep it for myself! It made for all the people who were going to vote Jacqui were just going to then vote for Peter. This weakens the Jacqui/Shane grouping, getting rid of their ally Peter. It also prevents anyone from getting pissed off.....for right now.
2. Had Peter not given up his Immunity, what would have happened?
Everyone who voted Peter, would have voted Jacqui per plan. Jacqui would have been gone to leave Peter/Shane kind of alone & in the minority.
3. How does Jacqui getting Immunity shift the dynamics of the game going forward?
It gives Jacqui a second chance here. It makes it potentially possible for her to weasel her way into groups now. Everyone doesn't see her as a threat since she almost got the boot last night with very little support. I think she appreciated my support during the voting period, where I told her Benji talks to people the least. I think that information gave her a hint at someone she could always try to target & she appreciated this.
My thought now is that Shane/Jacqui are more useful to the two sides, versus people to take out. I think brooke is going to try to sntach them up to use with her/zach/monika/fanalla grouping. I think she thinks I am on board as well. I also think that Moana/Lee are going to try to snatch them up to maybe take out Zach or Brooke. It is a war that is about to go off!! Cannot wait to see in the middle for a bit longer until I choose my legit side here.
4. Does the Public Immunity Idol change anything?
It is going to give me a huge chance to get in on the game when I need to. I am trying to not appear super threatening right now. I want Brooke's side and Lee/Moana's side to kind of attack each other right now. I keep having good relationships with both sides. I also have a good rapport going with Rohan/AK. I just want to try to avoid the drama right now. However, I now i need to eventually start making my moves for myself as well. I think the public immunity idol is going to be my way of gaining control on a weaker side.
My thought is to stick with Fanalla/Benji/Lee/Moana if I can. I almost want them to be my major allies. Rohan/AK seem too close to Monika in a way, I am unsure of what is going on there and where they truly stand.
I think a big move is going to be needed against Brooke/Monika soon. My thought is to potentially use this Public Immunity idol to make that work if the votes aren't going in that way naturally.
Phoebe is trying to play a social game right now. I am trying to let others fuck themselves over just a bit longer if I can.
