Stranded with Allies

Another round of Stranded, another blindside...

What did you make of the events of tonight and how do you plan on acting on them moving forward?

I don't know.

On one hand, holy shit that fucking happened. Is that a first? I feel like nobody was expecting that to happen.

On the second hand and actually answering your question, I feel like I don't have that much of a gameplan this season versus Faroe where everything was just planned out at every single stage and i had an idea of who was going every TC.

Bet that Dan finds the idol and idols me out, which I guess would be fair.

Nate, who are you alligned with in this game?

I guess my alliance is Heidi, Tammy, Penner, Myself, Ozzy and probably Val.

My closest ties are too Ozzy and I'm going to try to get Penner on that level because I distrust the four OG Saipans

On the other side, I have relationships with Sierra and Hayden which I also need to try to make stronger due to the distrusting OG Saipans thing.

But for the short-term (at least until F9) I plan on staying the course and not rocking the boat. Typical, boring Nate. I just want two days without any fake idol bluffs that shouldn't have worked if Dan wasn't cocky as Dan is or idol plays or tie votes or potential rock draws.

Ugh.

"Typical, boring Nate."

Do you think these are the words of a winner?

in what sense?

the self-deprecation sense, no, but I'm not a point where I think I have a solid chance of winning yet. I do think that is more of a reference to when Poody called me boring at Tribal Council.

the "boring winner" sense, well, the three seasons that happened since I've been here had Val, Penner and Mookie, and I feel like you can make an argument that they were all more boring than their peers

bitch this is the first time I've had time to pay attention to this game so idk what boring comments you're talking about.

How do you make sure you're not a boring winner?

Hey Nate, have you had any fallout from Dan over the fake idol?

not really? he sent a couple messages telling me to stop sucking mookie's dick, that he'll poison the jury against me, etc., but that's what Dan does anyway.

I think Val's been receiving more vitriol than me, but I'm not in her shoes so I wouldn't know

oh no worries, i was just pointing it out.

Well, I first need to see if I can be the winner first to be honest. I think there's still a handful of other people who are probably more likely to win than me (probably Ozzy, Sierra, Hayden as a dark horse, maybe Penner)

Would you say that you're sqaurely against Dan?

I guess? I need to be nicer than him and talk to him more than Val does in case of a random idol play or something, but I think the best move for my game is getting him out.

With the idols playing such a huge part in the game, do you think anyone has found the new one yet? Who are the likely suspects of unlocking an idol in the tribe?

lmao @ Tammy sending a message referring to needing to keep "us four" safe, and then sends a message saying "oh i screwed up I was excluding Val"

6 - 4 = 2 Tammy, I'm not a tard.

Likely suspect is Dan because he has the most incentive and was on for the longest period of time yesterday.

Wait could explain this further? Who were the 4?

I'm presuming the Saipans. She sent it to a group chat with six people.

It was in the context of "I don't think I can get a sense of security until its only us four in the game". I know I'm not in a four person group chat.

I know Penner and Ozzy have both been flirting with the idea of flipping and making a move against Tammy/Heidi with me at F9. And long-term that's definitely part of the plan. It's just what do I do after that that matters.

I have to say, I'm definitely impressed with your perceptive abilities thus far in the game. Are Ozzy and Penner your main alliance right now?

i'd say my strongest relationships versus an alliance, I'm not sure where Ozzy/Penner stand with each other (most of my talking to Penner is done in a different timezone to me) but I do like the flexibility of choice.

Penner is closer if not with the Purples and is a former winner, Ozzy is a challenge beast

Do you think you can whip Ozzy/Penner into shape to work closely together for your sake?

I don't even know if I want them to work closely. I think both will work together if they have to, but I'll judge that based off their specific relationships when it comes to it
