This vote is really going to be a big difference in the game. After Tom leaves, I don't really have a safety net in this game. I'm hoping I win the next immunity so I don't get voted out. As much as Ashlee and I are alliance members, I don't think she would use the idol on me. I need to play my options.

So the vote... totally unexpected. I had no idea that Jeff was going to go. It didn't matter to me if Jeff went or not, because it wasn't me, what did bother me was that I was left in the dark about the situation. No one told me to vote for Jeff and now I believe I'm on the outs.
Ashlee spoke to me about the situation and she basically said that people thought Tom had the idol and people split their votes on Jeff just in case. Well, Tom didn't have the idol and Jeff left us. While it does buy me more time in the game, Ashlee is keeping secrets from me and while I appreciate all that she has done for me, if I want to be in control of this game, I'm going to need to know what's going on at all times.

Jenn came up to me this afternoon and she was shook to the core. Obviously her and Jeff were close friends and this has just made her lose her footing in the game. She came up to me and basically was like "Stephenie, what is going on! How could this happen!" We began talking and she said she wants Tom out. I agreed because I really don't have much reason to disagree.
An interesting topic came up in our conversation. Jenn mentioned that Ashlee was a huge threat in the game. I recognized this a long time ago but Jenn mentioned to me that Ashlee should be voted off soon. Normally, I wouldn't entertain this idea but because of Ashlee's actions of not telling me about the Jeff vote, I am more inclined to think about it. It keeps my options open and it takes out a huge threat in the game.
But I don't think now is the time to take Ashlee out. She has the idol and she mentioned that she would use it for me if she had to. I do trust Ashlee but she's definitely becoming more of a power player now and I've been demoted to her lackey. I don't think it would be smart for me to get Ashlee out this round because I'd be out right after.

I really wanted to win immunity today but Angie started abruptly and we never got in a good rhythm. I was always waiting on her to post and it seems like she wasn't prepared at all. I really want to win one immunity because I feel like I'm always on the chopping block. I just want some safety.

There should be a blindside tonight. And for some reason, Tom is safe and so am I. The Ulongs are imploding right now and they're becoming power hungry. Jenn didn't like what occurred last tribal council and now she's keeping her options open. She wants Jonathan tonight.
Jonathan and Angie are two of the most power hungry players I've ever seen. I actually don't mind that they're running the show and sticking knives in the back of the original Ulongs, to be honest. But I know that if I continue to let them run things, I'll be right out the door so I have to get Jonathan out.

Right now, I'm caught in two alliances. I'm in an alliance with Ashlee and she told me she has Kim and Tom with her. Then I'm in an alliance with Jenn and she told me she has Kim(?) and Ibrehem with her. Now obviously this could cause a problem, however I was able to get them to both send their votes towards ANGIE this round.
I don't know where Angie stands to be honest and I feel like if I took her out, it leaves people left in the game who are playing for me.
Tom's a big problem because we cannot let him get to the final tribal council. I'm thinking if he doesn't win immunity next round, he's done. We can't take any chances on him because he will automatically get people's votes despite doing nothing in this game. The only reason that Tom is still around is because he's expendable and bigger threats are going. Nothing HE'S been doing personally has caused him to stay. I just wanted to clear that up.

Wow did you see Angie at the challenge? Talk about rude. I don't respect Angie and her game. She's very aggressive and it's hard for me to get along with. I really don't want Angie in the final three, but I don't have many opportunities left.
Ibrehem or Kim will be going home tonight as they didn't win immunity. I think Ibrehem is probably going to go home, to tell you the truth, but I won't vote for him. Nope. I'm not going to do it. Ibe has been a great friend to me in this game and you know, friendship means something for me.
I think Ashlee is a big threat to win the game but I think I'm going to have to go to the final tribal council. Tom cannot make it there and I don't want Angie there as well. With Kim or Ibe being at risk tonight, I can't get one of my two targets out. I'm going to go to the end with Ashlee because, at least if I lose to her, I can say that the person who beat me deserved to win. Tom and Angie haven't earned the win in my eyes. I would kill myself if they won.

Another layer of this vote is also who I want on the jury. If I vote off Kim and go to the end with Ashlee, she'll vote for Ashlee. If I vote of Ibrehem and go to the end with Ashlee, he might vote for me. There are definitely many things to think about going into this vote.

I feel really horrible about the vote. Ibe left and I no one voted to save him. I should've voted to save Ibe... he didn't deserve to go out unanimously. I feel really terrible right now because I thought it would be a 3-3 vote if I voted for Kim. I wish I gave Ibe that sympathy vote. He really deserved one.  |

Whoa, a lot has happened. Tom had to leave to a family emergency and while I hope his sister is okay, in my head, I was dancing for joy. I never liked Tom and I'm glad he's finally gone. He was like a cockroach in this game and I couldn't stand it. Thankfully, he's gone which means I've made the final four.
To be honest, I'm shocked at my success in this game. At the beginning, I was really inactive and while I managed to get through the early stages, I basically stumbled through this game. I think that my journey in this game is very adventurous because I had to work to get to the top. I was at the bottom in original Koror and the mutiny literally saved my life. I was supposed to go around week 2 and I managed to make it all the way to the final four.
If it wasn't for Ulong imploding and targeting each other, I wouldn't be here right now. I think I was an integral part in Ulong's crumble. I was always on the bottom of the totem pole. I didn't really have my own mind, and I just followed what people said. I knew I had to play this way because if I didn't, I'd be voted out. People came up to me and told me what to do and I told them what they wanted to hear. From this, I gained trust and moved up on the totem pole.
I didn't make too many strategic moves, but it wasn't necessary for me to. It was better for me to sit back and let everyone do things for me. I don't think a good game comes from making big moves anyways, especially when I didn't need to. I think the jury probably doesn't respect my game. I came through this as an underdog and was able to talk to the right people when I needed to to get far.
So yeah, I basically recapped my game. Hopefully it's more clear that I didn't sit on my ass and do nothing.
