King Austin has been dethroned, and Queen Kass now reigns supreme. Technically, King Brian reigns, but I don't want them to know that. Considering how angry people can get, I want to sit out of those crosshairs for awhile. I'm hoping if Austin/Yul get bitter towards Kass, I'm more or less in the clear. My goal for the next few rounds is be nice and not get voted out. Now, time to test my social skills and work on this next challenge. Ideally I want to take it from Yul, so he goes next. My biggest challenges are making me appear to the jury like a strong, strategic player, but not as much to Kass/Katie/Candace. I need to play carefully, because getting cocky means death. It happened to Austin just a round ago, so it could happen to anyone.

So, I had fun talking to Yul in his overly defensive, hostile state, as he tried to figure out how it happened, so I explained it all to him. After I told him he was the original target and it switched to Austin, and that Kass was the organizer of Austin's demise, he immediately went to Kass and went "hurr brynz gona git yu!!!1". Dude, why the fuck would I try and re-flip? Am I that stupid? Yul's attempt at throwing me under the bus didn't work, because I talked to Kass and said I was giving her credit for the vote because it was mostly her idea...even though I had the initial idea of turning on Yul and using the double vote, Kass wanted it on Austin and it worked out that way. Deal with it. Hopefully, after the challenge a non-Yul wins, and then I can vote him off. He's trying to shit on me, and I don't like it much. Ideally, Yul/LJ/Jay leave in that order, then Candice and then Katie. Working on that is nice, but taking it round by round is key.

Kass winning her third immunity. Noice. I'm glad Yul didn't win, because it means we can boot him. I'm guessing I was like 9/12 or 10/12, but oh well. Time to go write another douchey vote, and send Yul packing.

Yul came to me today, doing everything in his power to stay in this game. I admire someone like that who fights hard, but it won't save him. Yul's argument is that he can't make a counter against me, and doesn't have the social bonds with the remaining players in the game to try and turn against me, so he would need me. He went on about how he isn't close with LJ/Katie/Jay/Candice, so there isn't any point for me to target him. Ideally, I guess Yul just wanted Jay/Candice/Katie out, so the "floaters" would be gone. Well...they're not actually floaters, but it's totally fine if you want to call them that. The "floaters" are all with Kass and I, and it's just a matter of what would help me more? Keeping Yul isn't that beneficial, because he has a strong chance of winning in the end. Yul slipping past this vote and being given the chance to go on an immunity run is no bueno. After having his, in theory, closest ally voted out, he would bounce back after removing the floaters and had to either win 2 challenges, get one vote to go his way and win a challenge, or win a tiebreaker. Putting him in a position like that gives him way too strong of a chance to make a run to the finals, where his come-from-behind story would give him a decent shot. Although putting myself in a F4 of Kass, Katie, and Candice is risky, it's a smarter option. I can beat Katie and Candice for sure, and I think I have a good shot against Kass. Ideally, LJ can go on an immunity run and force Candice/Katie out so the numbers are more balanced. However, flipping to Yul/LJ and then trying to get Jay would alienate three other people, and I've already had a hand in a lot of blindsides. Backstabbing Teresa and Austin could either work wonders for my game, or could severely harm it - it's just a matter of how they handle it and how I navigate around it. I've gone off topic at this point. Yul and I talked, I told him I would check and see if we could make a move (which I didn't), and then apologized and said we'd need Jay, and I haven't talked to him once so I can't. I think this earned me positive points with Yul, because I was honest and "tried" to check out the vote and see if we could make it happen. Oh well. Farewell to you, Yul.

Oh come the fuck on, Katie flipped. For more screen time because she hasn't done shit all game because she's too busy, she now decides she wants attention and is willing to torpedo my game because of her failures in the game. It's ridiculously unfair how, in her words, "Chaos Katie" is coming out because she feels like making a big move when she doesn't do anything at all. I can't be that upset, because I didn't ensure she was with is the entire time. Katie would rather go sooner and be some flashy character, but it's an awful feeling when she's doing this and it's her own fault. I need to either hope Kass can get through to her, or that I'm somehow lower on Jay's boot list.

To counter this, I'm throwing every argument in the book I can at her. I told her about my endgame plans and that she was in my F3, and that why would she flip so she could end in 3rd place there rather than here. I also sent over a screenshot of Yul saying he wants to target a floater this round before Kass and I said no, we're not voting out Katie. I think I've found my window.
