LOL WHAT A NIGHT
Yesterday I'm talking about...me and Moana know Jacqui should be the main target here. Discussed this in my old confessional. I have no long-term connection to her and people had previously fought to the death to keep her in this game which makes her a threat to me. Brooke hands her to us on a silver platter...this is too good to be true
Original vote squad was going to be Rohan/Moana/Brooke/Zach/Benji/Phoebe. Filling in Monika, Lee, Shane after immunity since people are *so scared* of hurting feelings during a blindside that they couldn't work with them later.
I find the combination to the challenge pretty quick (don't think I would have beaten Benji anyway, probably around 10 mins) but hold onto the image for another 10 mins to make sure I'm not even close to first. Can't make people think I'm some sort of challenge beast.
After immunity, Benji wins. He was going to be the name given to the other side...so that kind of throws a wrench in how we can talk about things. Eventually Shane finds out pretty quick what's going down (I'm guessing from Zach), I tell Monika that I'm hearing Jacqui from the same sources as her. Start discussing with Lee too, he gives a generic "I don't like it but I'll do it if I have to". Later it comes out to be that I totally downplayed the relationship between those two...
Flashback to earlier in the day/yesterday. Yesterday Brooke pitched me on a Phoebe vote (which I obviously wouldn't do but I had to pretend I'd debate it). Moana lets me know Zach asked her the same thing, Brooke denies she talked to anyone else about it. Uh-huh, like everyone doesn't know you're a fucking couple. My strategy here has been being in the middle of the crucial information and sowing divides...so I tell Phoebe that Moana told me Zach asked her about it. I didn't think much of it at the time, I was just trying to make sure Brooke/Zach and Phoebe have a divide since I know they had strategized together in the past and then the target stays away from me. Turns out Jacqui told her the SAME THING and my words only validated the whole thing to her and sent her on a fucking mission. Lol that just one sentence from me tripped up Phoebe so bad.
As a result of this she starts targeting Zach. Lee doesn't want Jacqui so he starts to lean that way. Shane is close to both Zach and Jacqui so she wants neither of them gone and feels helpless. At the end Phoebe starts threatening to play her idol on Jacqui, probably feeling some pressure from Jacqui. There's a HUGE scramble to avoid the idol (which was never getting played, like Phoebe would actually give up all the leverage she has on fucking Jacqui). Moana tries to flip the switch on Monika at the last minute to avoid the idol. Honestly I'm fine with either Zach or Jacqui leaving at this point...would prefer Jacqui because she's a cockroach that just won't fucking die but Zach going would be good for my game too. Keeps most of my main people in the game at that point.
Enter tribal...people keep going back and forth about where to keep the vote. Ultimately...I switch my vote back to Jacqui. To me it's obvious there's not gonna be six votes on any one given person, and it's more important to stay on Brooke and Monika's good side in the aftermath of the vote. Ends up being 3-3-3-1 in this breakdown, I think
-Rohan, Brooke, Monika vote for Jacq
-Zach, Moana, Benji vote for Monika
-Jacqui, Lee, Phoebe vote for Zach
-Shane votes for Brooke
Revote is easy and we take out the original target. But not before literally everyone's position is blown up
