Can you believe it? YOU. ARE. IN. THE. FINAL. SIX. Only 5 people stand in your way and that's pretty good considering you've outlasted 14 so far.

That was certainly a very... informative tribal council for everyone left in the game, the jury and the hosts. Do you feel like you are in a better or worse position after that show?

What is the worst case scenario for you in the upcoming round? What is the best case scenario?

That jury is filling up fast and there are now 6 players and 6 jury members. (Don't know what da fuck happened to Leif.) Before you know it, that jury will be filled and we will have our finalists. Give me a quick rundown. Gimme your ideal boot order and if it has changed, final 3.

I ask a lot, but it changes quickly, so whatcha think your odds are of winning? What about getting to the end?

With the vote being 5-2, is it easy pickin's now or this late in the game it doesn't really mean shit?

Are you in the mindset of taking people you know you can beat to the end or taking people you feel deserve to be there? Maybe a rare combination of both?

That's all I got this time for ya. Keep your eyes on the prize and do what all of the jury members couldn't do and make it to the end win that non-existent million dollar prize and title of "Winner of Stranded in Sri Lanka"! You've fought too hard and too long to fuck up now!

HOW IN THE WORLD AM I STILL HERE!?

After last episode, I literally thought I was going home. Like I was actually just gonna go to tribal and throw shit at the wall and hope it stuck, but here I am making it through tribal without a vote against me. It just goes to show that anything can and will happen in this game. Honesty, voting out Patrick was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make in this game and I literally was changing my mind DURING tribal. However, I knew at the end of the day, he was a liability to my game and with him gone, Christina trusts me more than she did before and now people don't see Simone and I as as big of threats like we were when Cole and Patrick were still here.

I AM SO PISSED WHY DO I KEEP ALMOST WINNING IMMUNITY This is the second challenge that I have got second at and in both I barely lost. So frustrating, but at least it shows I'm no slump in challenges and that I don't need to win them to make it to the end.

After that tribal, I do believe I am in a better position than I was before it. I think I did a much better job at jury management this tribal since I got a lot more likes on my posts from the jury this time, probably because I was being more open, sassy, and outward, especially toward Ryan who the jury seems to intensely dislike. I may have lost Patrick's jury vote (although Simone voted for him too), but now both Christina and Ryan are bigger threats than I am at the moment. And they are both people I would like to see gone. They have been my frenemies for a while now, but I've realized I'd rather go to the end without either of them there. I want Ryan out next not because I don't want to work with him, but because I have to do what Christina wants for this vote in order to stay here this round. If she wins immunity, it's her last chance to use the idol so she says she would play it for me. I don't see why not since it would give her power in the game, but if she's being truthful, then I have to stay on her good side this round at least.

Fortunately, my one true ally left (Simone) still trusts me enough to let me know that Ryan told her he has an extra vote. That definitely brings up some interesting options especially considering it is good until the Final 5 which is super powerful. I want that advantage gone before Final 5 that is way too powerful. And no way is he gonna use it in my favor anyway. My plan right now is for Ryan and his advantage to leave next so that Christina still trusts me. However, Christina thinks she might want Matt to leave since she's afraid Matt, Roark, and Simone would team up against her and I come the Final 5 which is a legitimate concern to be honest.

Say Ryan goes next with his advantage and Christina played her idol on me or herself. At Final 5, I would still be in good with Christina. If she wins immunity, I think she would vote with me so that's a plus. If she doesn't win immunity, I'd give her a taste of her own medicine and vote her out. She told me this round after I told her that I couldn't vote Patrick since he went to rocks for me: "Stop playing Patrick's game and make your apologies later" essentially. Well girl, if you lose immunity, I will vote you out even if you gave me your idol because I'm not playing your game, I'm playing my game. If I have to sit at the end with Christina, it's not the end of the world, but I'd much prefer not to. Honestly, blindsiding her would lose one vote, but gain me many more; it's a net gain and a chance I'm wiling to take.

At the Final 4, I would bank on winning immunity since I'd be up against Simone, Roark, and Matt who I think I could take. I would definitely not vote Simone since she's my homegirl and I want somewhat of a competition in the finals. It would be determining whether or not to vote Matt or Roark; however, that's a long ways away and I don't want to get ahead of myself. Slow and steady wins the race.

I honestly think I have a decent shot at winning this game. Obviously NO, it's just easy pickings from here on out I mean it's Stranded, but I still think I have a path at getting to the end with people I can beat. It honestly all lies on Simone and if she stays loyal with me all the way. Her turning on me is the worst case scenario.

Spradlin Out

(p.s. is the spradlin out thing as cringey as it sounds to me or is it an adorable quirk that has somehow made its way into the hearts of all my fans?)

[Jeff Probst]

Lol it's fine. At least you aren't signing all your posts King Spradlin, which you will understand after the season is over. You're good babes,

[Kimmi Kappenberg]

I’ve been leaning towards adorable quirk for a while now

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Probably more endearing than the "fuck you"s I would leave

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Follow up questions while I'm here: Christina has won almost every immunity so far. What's your plan if she continues to do so? Do you think you could beat her at the end?

[Kim]

If Christina continues to dominate these immunities, there's really nothing I can do to stop her so my only bet would be to try and get her to take me to the end with her; however, that may be a little difficult after this round since turns out WHOOOPS that I am not voting out Ryan. I'm gonna vote with him and simone and his extra vote to vote out Roark. So my plan is to win at least one immunity after this round. I do not think I could beat her in the end, but if I have to, I'm gonna try my hardest.
