After the challenge was over, I was sitting around thinking about my status in the game. Right now, I have a tight foursome that includes myself, Kass, Candice, and Brian. The four of us planned to pick off the other players and stick together to make the final 4. It would be super easy to go into cruise control for the next few votes and take out Yul, Jay, and LJ with ease. But that would be too simple. There's no fun in this game if I just sit back and contribute to a boring set of boots. I need some flair in my Survivor, and that's certainly what I'm gonna deliver here. What's the point of Survivor without a bit of risky strategy anyways?
So my goal in this game is to take out my biggest threats. And right now, Brian is my biggest threat bar none. He's been involved in every strategic decision of this game and is well-liked socially. He's been sitting in the driver's seat for this entire game and I'm sick of it. This game needs to be flipped on it's head. So basically, I went up to LJ and we talked for a long while. I got him to apologize for voting me last round, and I convinced him it's all Brian and Austin's vote. The two of us formed a final two alliance way earlier in the game, and I just milked it for all it's worth. LJ already has an anti-Kass agenda and Kass has immunity, so I just pushed the idea that Kass/Brian are an unstoppable pair. Pretty quickly he was happy to team up with me and vote for Brian.
Then I went to Yul and talked to him for the first time in this game. Despite that fact that we've both made the final 7, this really is our first time interacting. It's really strange to be honest. But anywho, I told him he was chopped liver because of Candice/Kass/Brian, and the only way to save him would be to form an alliance to oust Brian from the game. And LJ and I have both talked to the comatose Jay and hopefully he gets the message to vote for Brian at this tribal council. You can never be too sure when communicating with a walking vegetable.

So now, it's just time to sit back and laugh and decide what to do. At this tribal council, I'm the swing vote and I hold all of the power. With a simple flourish of the pen I can stab Brian in the back or I can piss away Yul's chance to win. Somehow I've gone from the girl with 4 votes to her name to THAT GIRL WHO'S THE SWING VOTE. For at least one round of this game, I am all-powerful and I'm going to work that status. In fact, I should make everyone fight it out for my vote HUNGER GAMES STYLE. HAHAHAHA I am the swing vote, so whoever decides to offer me more sex and trade-able goods might just be the side I flip to. If I were these people, I would sure as hell walk on eggshells around KATIE COLLINS. One false move and I'll blow your game to smithereens in an instant. I guess Austin was right after all, us Wild Cards are the most threatening of all. BITCHES BEST WATCH OUT FOR ME BEFORE I CUT THEM IN COLD BLOOD. My mood changes like the wind, so the next vote could be anyone's guess. Right now I'm just going to revel in my power and cackle at the fact that I've worked my way into the most powerful position in this game. FEAR ME MORTALS!

So I've been checking the board over and over again, and Jay still hasn't come online. This is obviously very worrying to me as a whole because my entire BLINDSIDE BRIAN plan depends upon Jay voting properly. But he left a voting list and I don't know who's on it, so I guess I have to work around Jay's incompetence. However, instead of retreating back into the safety of the foursome alliance, I'm just going to stir shit up until I get my way.
PLAN A
This one involves manipulating either Candice into voting for Jay instead of Yul. Kass and Brian wouldn't budge from Yul, but Candice is more susceptible to a mix-up. If I can get one of them to flip and vote for Jay, the votes would look like this.
Brian/Kass - Yul
Candice - Jay
Katie/LJ/Yul - Brian
Jay - ?
The votes would be 3-2-1-1 and Brian would go home.
However, if I can't get either one of them to flip their vote, then I'll have to enact PLAN B
Plan B is just rely solely on luck HAHA. Basically, we know that Jay already has a boot list in play. In this scenario, I'm just going to gamble on the fact that Jay has Brian listed higher on his boot list than Yul, which seems very much like a probability.
Votes:
Candice/Kass/Brian - Yul
Yul/LJ/Katie - Brian
Jay - ?
Revote:
Candice/Kass - Yul
LJ/Katie - Brian
AND PRAY THAT JAY'S DECIDING VOTE IS BRIAN BEFORE YUL.
It's a big risk that could blow up in my face, but for some reason it feels like the right move for me to make at this point. It's risky and bold and will cause massive chaos, but it's also exactly what I need to do right now. Just because my original plan isn't going to go perfectly doesn't mean I should crawl back into a hole and die. I've tweaked my plans and I am READY to blindside the fuck out of this game. This vote is going to be a big fucking mess, but it's MY mess haha.

So in between the vote and the revote, Brian came up to me and tried to convince me to flip my vote back to save him. He made some compelling arguments to keep him, but at this point if he wasn't coming for me, he definitely would be now. There's really nothing personal about this revote, it's just strictly game. I know that he's easily the biggest threat in the final vote and I really am trying to think about the endgame. As much as I go fucking nuts and try to kill people sometimes, I try to think about the game every once in a while.
After the revote, Brian was sent home 3-2. I wasn't surprised because I knew that Jay's bootlist would have all the Athena's before anyone else. I mean yeah it was definitely a risk, but considering my plan went perfectly I guess it was a smart risk. Now it's on to the final 6 and it's time for me to fuck people up some more.

My plan for this final six round is to flip BACK to Kass and Candice. Right now I'm feeling that Yul is my biggest threat in the endgame because more than half of this jury love him. So it's time to vote him the fuck out. Last round I started getting close to Yul last round. Actually, for the first time in this game we've actually talked. He feels very indebted to me for flipping the game in his favor, so right now he's just being cool with me so that Yul, LJ, and I can go to the final 3. But I ALREADY KNOW THAT LJ AND YUL ARE A FINAL TWO. I will not be fooled by these stupid bitches. So yeah it's time for me to flip back and fuck over Yul.
Basically, I'm banking on the fact that Jay will stay inactive and vote for me again. So then Yul and LJ will cast their votes for Kass, and Kass and Candice will cast their votes for Yul. Leaving me as the swing vote YET AGAIN. Hahaha I keep playing this same old trick of being the swing vote and fucking everyone's game up, but nobody seems to notice. Whatever I'll just keep doing what I think is best until these idiots wise up or I make the endgame. I hope it's the latter. Either way, I will be cackling my way through this game. It's hilarious to fuck with everyone, become a power player, and vote based purely on emotion. It's such a rush.

Oh I haven't even addressed the impact that Jay's evacuation had on my game. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't really care about Jay being evacuated because he is NOTHING in this game. He's a useless bum living in a garbage can and deserved to be sent home WEEKS ago. However, he decided to get medically evacuated from the game the round that ~I~ won the fucking immunity challenge! HOW FRUSTRATING IS THAT! So naturally, the first time this bitch over here accomplishes something, it gets taken away immediately. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SOMETHING IN THIS GAME?!? So we go to another immunity challenge, which is shockingly ANOTHER challenge about past members of the game and their quotes and what they like and other inane shit I don't care about. Of course I'm going to lose this challenge I HAD NO SOCIAL GAME FOR MOST OF THIS GAME. Ugh it's just so frustrating. And shocker of shockers, Kass fucking wins again. I am very close friends with Kass and I like working with her, but MY GOD SHE NEEDS TO STOP WINNING. It's actually pissing me the fuck off. Maybe I should just stay with Yul and LJ and vote out Candice because I'm so jealous of Kass winning so many times. SPOILER I won't actually do that because Yul is a major threat, but I just want to win a challenge that matters  I hope we're done with these social immunities forever because I suck at them so much. I would probably do better at a posting challenge at this point (which I also suck at). |

So going into this vote I definitely think I'm going to flip back to Candice and Kass to vote out Yul. He's a huge jury threat in terms of how many friends he has sitting on the jury and I can't let him get anywhere near that final tribal. Not even close. However, I'm still talking a lot with LJ and Yul about voting out Candice and how close the 3 of us are in this endgame. I should feel bad for so obviously manipulating them, but I really don't care. Maybe I'm just callous that way, but I can find it in me to care who I hurt or backstab in this game. It's kind of ruthless to heartlessly backstab people on a whim, but it's also completely hilarious and I can't stop cackling. I definitely a horrible person. I'm going to hell... or the Underworld. Whatever you'd like to call it.

Everything went quiet. It was like the ending of a legendary football movie where the world goes into slow motion when the quarterback lobs a hail mary pass into the end zone. But instead of making the catch, the receiver falls on his face, starts taking drugs to hide the shame, and ends up overdosing in a grimy hotel bathroom. That was pretty much how I felt about LJ winning this last immunity challenge.
My entire gameplan for these last few rounds has been to get myself to the final 3 with Kass and Candice, where I feel like there would be a legitimate chance for either me or Kass to win. However, LJ decided to pull shit out of his ass and actually win something. He hasn't been a strategic or physical player for this entire fucking game and then he decides to win this last immunity LIKE FUCK OFF MAN. I'm so fucking pissed I could punch him in the face right now. The worst part is that his win this season is essentially guaranteed. He was on the wrong side of the vote for the entire fucking endgame except for the Brian vote where I threw him a bone. Therefore, he has basically no enemies on the jury cause he floated on by being not as much of a threat and won one challenge. It fucking sucks for me and Kass, who worked our asses off strategically to get here.

Right now, my brian is going 100 miles per minute trying to figure out what I should do at this vote.
On one hand, there's a part of me that wants to stay loyal to Kass. I love Kass to death and she's my closest friend. Hell, I felt like I was playing half of this game FOR her by the endgame. I pretty much already know that I can't win this game, so it feels right to want to go to the end with Kass. The two of us being the second and third place RUNNERS-UP to LJ's winner would be hilarious. And the two of us could have a ball tearing into our haters in our final tribal council speeches.
On the other hand, I could vote out Kass and bring the massive goat Candice to the final 3. It would be a bit harsh of me to cut off my closest ally right at the end, but it would eliminate one potential threat to me going into the final tribal. I still wouldn't have much of a shot at winning, but I think I would be a serious contender for second place over dead weight Candice.
So I'm really in a hot mess right now. I can vote with my heart or vote with my brain, but I can't do both. Somehow I am again put in the position of swing vote who decides what happens, so I guess I'll just have to flip my hair and keep on doing me. At the end of the day, it's just a game so who the fuck cares what I decide to do. Either way, I'm going into this final tribal council with my KATIE COLLINS flare ready to fight my way through the bitter haters sitting on that jury.

Honestly, I'm leaning towards voting out Kass right now because I love her to death but might as well eliminate a threat. However, if there were a Final Two in the making I would obviously keep her around so we could win the real FIC and take each other to the final 2. Honestly, I think that there should be a final two in this game because that's the way this game was created and intended to be played back in the days of 2001 reality television. They never did a final 3 until like 6-7 years into the program, and it has since sucked the life out of the franchise by giving us a number of blowout jury votes. This will likely be the case here with LJ racking up almost every vote. However, you guys have the power to make the finale less boring and more like a true Survivor season by creating a final two. I think you should consider giving the fans what they desperately crave.
