Congrats on final fucking five!

I won't bother you with a million questions since time is more important than ever with only 5 people left. So just tell me this: what's the plan?

My oh my, Final 5. I honestly did not expect coming into this game to make it this far. I figured I'd at least make the merge, but to go all the way to Final 5 is such an intense and pleasant feeling. I am proud of myself for making it this far and I can taste the victory now.

As I mentioned previously, in my last three games, I have gotten fifth every time. I don't know what it is, but I'm destined to be a fifth placer. I think it's usually because I get too excited that I'm so close to the end and I do stupid things and flame out. Like I literally gave my idol to my ally once and then got voted out. The fourth time's a charm. I'm pulling out all the stops for this one. I'm not going home in fifth again.

As for my plan going forward, I want to go to the end of this game with Simone. I don't want to drag Ryan and Matt to the end and expect no challenge (although Ryan definitely has a case to make to the jury if he plays it right). My goal is to win this immunity (not get second for the third time in a row) and then let everyone vote out Christina. However, I will not vote out Christina because it would give me an advantage when the jury votes since I didn't betray her. Best case scenario.

At Final 4, the plan is to stick with Simone and at worst, go to a 2-2 vote and have some sort of challenge. Best case would be that Matt and Ryan just vote each other and then we take one of them. Obviously, still in the back of my head I can't help but wonder if Simone would vote me out. I really think our bond is genuine and strong, but I just can not shake the possibility of it happening. Right now though, I just have to make it past this round because I WILL NOT go home fifth yet again. It seems this game has a poetic atmosphere going on what with Cole trying to flip at rocks and then pulling the purple rock. So wouldn't it be poetic if I went home fifth for the fourth time? That's why I need to pull out all the stops and just go full speed ahead. I'm a raging bull and y'all better watch out cause I'm not going home.

Also question @Jeff, if I somehow make it through this round, I will be busy during the challenge time tomorrow. Does this automatically forfeit me from the final immunity challenge or can it be rescheduled somehow? I looked in the rules and I didn't see anything about challenge time changes/interferences.

Since I'm bored, I'll elaborate a little more on the game dynamics from my viewpoint right now.

After last vote, I immediately did damage control because I know I'm a big threat going into these last two votes and I want all my bases covered. Roark going was the absolutely best thing for my game at that point in time since I'm pretty sure she was the least likely to be willing to work with me. However, I totally screwed Christina over by voting Roark and not Matt soooo right after the vote, I went up to her all "WTF GIRL why were you acting like you were coming after simone!" I pretended that she was such a good actor that she fooled me at tribal that she was going to vote Simone when in reality, I knew what she was doing lol. I basically put the blame for us voting Roark onto her so she looked like the one who messed up and not me. Now this way, we literally just went against her plans of voting Matt yet she still trusts me to an extent.

Also, this way, now Matt trusts me since I didn't vote for him and Christina was the one who tried to vote him out. Even beyond that, Ryan is happy since Simone and I voted with him. Literally, I don't know what I could have done to put myself in a better position for this coming vote. If I go home, it's certainly not because I didn't try. Right now, everyone trusts me and no matter who wins immunity, I'll be able to have a plan of action to make sure I'm not the one going home. If Christina wins, I go with her and vote whoever she wants. If Ryan wins, I do the same, etc.

I am going to BUST ASS and win this immunity. Ryan and Christina are really my only competition and Christina is only good at certain challenges (ones that involve posting). Give me a maze and I'll crush anyone anyday. However, if anyone but Christina wins, I might legitimately just not vote Christina since it would be a surefire way to win her vote in the end and everyone else would vote her. Unfortunately, that would put a HUGE target on my back going into the Final 4 immunity challenge and I would for need to win it if I wanted to advance since everyone would want to vote me out after not voting for Christina. It's a risk, but maybe a risk that I need to take.

Also, as for Ryan's 'extra vote:' he showed me an imgur link to a picture that had a parchment with the words extra vote on it. Honestly, he seems sketchier about this extra vote every time I talk to him. I actually don't know if he really has it or not. Anyone easily could have made up a fake parchment with the words 'extra vote' on it especially someone who was on the bottom and needed a way to stay (which he was in that position when we found out about this extra vote). I do believe it's real, but I'm not gonna rely on it to save me in this game. I need to win this immunity. I will not get fifth place again. I will reverse this curse that Ozzy and I have been stuck in.
