Sup Ozzy! here are some questions for round 14:
1)How are you feeling so far? If i remember correctly this is the farthest you've ever been in the game, learning anything new having gotten this far?Holy shit. First of all, have you ever been mid-challenge and have the power go out? INCLUDING YOUR PHONE'S RECEPTION?! Not very fun I tell ya. And then to try to hop in to see if Heidi had used her necklace and get dragged into a conversation (away from my phone) and then immediately to my presentation so I couldn't even fucking vote. UGH. At least let me make my claim to a side! But oh well, que sera sera.
Yea I was 24th place, then 14th place, now top 8. Feels surreal honestly, I can't believe everything has worked out thus far. And to think, had my tribe lost one more immunity on Pohnpei that I would've been out. It's a great feat to overcome. At least personally. And I will add, honestly, I didn't think I could actually go this far. Like I said in the beginning, I didn't expect to win. I focused on trying to be two steps ahead of the pack, but that doesn't really work 100% of the time. The charts and shit Penner made? Totally void now. It's a round by round game here, and that's something I didn't expect. Every round things shift even if just slightly.
Fishbach was right. Voting blocs.
2)You were voted Most likely to win and most likely to be in actual control of the game, does this make you nervous at all that people are on to you?Yea not the two I would've picked for me to be named, but I'll take it I guess! It either means one of two things:
A) People actually see me as a threat and actually in control of a lot around here. And that would be gratifying if it were true. But i think it's more likely that it's...
B) People are trying to paint me as a huge threat. Makes me an easier boot down the line, nobody wants to take me to the finals. Kind of shitty. Although if I make it there maybe people will hold onto this line of thought? I think Val might be a good cheerleader for Ozzy in the jury
Also, I saw it in the tribal thread, but I think those questions are definitely telling. And not because that's what people ACTUALLY think the game looks like. But what their perceptions of the tribe's view is like. I think it's more interesting seeing who people thought was the majority than knowing who was the actual majority. I mean Heidi came up a lot on the "Most likely to win the game." Penner was put up for "Who mistakenly thinks they're in control?" Those can be useful to know.
3)With Val leaving, a lot of things are up in the air with your tribe, where do you think you fit in in all this?Yea that's the question isn't it? It would seem that Sierra-Hayden-Sugar-Nate-Penner-Ozzy are going after one of the two girls (probably Heidi if she doesn't win immunity). So I need to make up with Tammy and Heidi, be honest and open with them (because they would appreciate it) and hope they'd vote for me in a FTC. I think Heidi is just obviously a threat, and she knows it (Heidi if you read this later, you're phenomenal!). Tammy is an ideal FTC goat in my opinion. And not because she sucks, she's fun to talk with and probably builds good connections, but I don't think she has anything to really point to and say, "I did this."
So it would seem Heidi is the next vote. But I wouldn't put it passed Sierra and Hayden to take me out next vote. That is if they haven't been honest about the old pohnpei working together (which they haven't, thanks for not inviting me to your group chat). And it worries me that we just pissed off Tammy and Heidi, because now they don't want to work with me (I assume, will report later) and Sierra/Hayden would be good matchs for a four person alliance. And then just add in Sugar, boom majority. Plus they'd "have" Penner and Nate. So seems like it's building for an Ozzy boot episode next round. I saw this coming, but I also think I can get out of it. Relies a lot on Penner and Nate (dear lord I hope he'd use the idol on me).
4)After the craziness of that tribal, could you give me a ranking of the people in the game based on most to least trustworthy?Based around MY trust with them, I would say...
1. Penner - shoot the shit, talk strategy, always on a similar wavelength (even if he's sleeping most of the time). I feel like I'm the most honest with Penner as well.
2. Nate - see above. The reason he's lower, honestly, is because he has the idol and is a bigger threat than Penner.
3. Sugar - I think she's in camp Ozzy for now and I'm hoping she would oppose an Ozzy boot episode these next couple of rounds. But I also know she's more the type that as long as it isn't her, she'll most likely go forward with it.
4. Hayden - more so a forced trust between us. I know he's been dishonest a lot with me in the game, so he can't really jump up in my rankings. But he's also someone I would want to have at FTC. I just can't see a scenario that he wins out (maybe Sugar or Tammy?).
5. Sierra - again, another forced trust. I wanted to work with her SO BAD in the beginning and to know that she was totally fucking me over is shitty. But I would hope this is a new page to our chapter. I still think she'll blindside me, but maybe not.
6. Heidi - I ruined a lot of my trust on her end tonight, that's guaranteed.
7. Tammy - we don't really talk game anyway.
) but he actually is doing shit in the background. I just don't know if a jury is going to reward him for it because I don't know that they saw it all that well. So less threatening for sure.
