Round 7 (MERGE)

[sarah]

Yay I fucking finally made the merge again!!!!  Feels great.  There is already so much info flowing in from every which way and there is a lot going on right now this first night!  Things are poppin and I am trying my best to just gather the info and not give out literally ANY info.  It is all just too much to process and idk where people stand as of now, so I will gather the info and start to organize the puzzle pieces, and then make a plan of action over the next day or so.  I just don't want to stick my foot in my mouth and say something stupid to the wrong person that I could regret.  But the tea is spilling all over our merge feast table, that's for sure!

[sarah]

Everyone is loving my new signature, right?!  Thanks Spencer my friend!!!!!  Also shout out to Jamal for being a great guy (since he says he always writes about me I said I would write about him).

I will try to organize this confessional somewhat so that I don't ramble, but it is pretty inevitable that I will ramble.  Doing a voice confessional would be easier but idk how to do that.  So here we go with a merge cast assessment, in ranking of who I care most about:

1.  Sarah:  Sarah is in the perfect spot right now, at least I think?  Can't get cocky, but her relationships with everyone seem to be very well hidden, and she has her hands in the cookie jars of quite a few of the "big players."  If she can manage to get out a few opportune and lower level players now that she doesn't talk to, I think that the other big threats will end up turning on each other and she can find herself in the middle quite a few times.  She should definitely have some options going forward and doesn't want to be tied down to one alliance, but she needs to spearhead this first vote or two to make sure that things fall into place.

2.  Jamal as number 2???  We are really trying to keep this relationship hidden and it could be a solid F2.  I need to shut my mouth in the group chat because it shows that Jamal and I vibe well and both have the same sense of humor, and it won't take long for people to just assume we are a pair.  Jamal is trying to make Hayden feel as though Jamal is closest to him, and from some comments that Hayden has made to me I think that Hayden does believe this.  So that's great for me.  I could see Aubry going after Jamal cause she will feel threatened, especially after I heard she was making comments that she was surprised we kept him in the game last round.

3.  Oh god, Hayden???  I still do trust Hayden a lot, and he told me that he won the first Reward Challenge and he had a 3 round idol that expired.  But Hayden's time will come, and Aubry and him will end up taking their armies to battle against each other.  Not sure what side I would ultimately choose, but both will need to go eventually.  

4.  Alicia - She is still a queen and seems to put me high up on her list.  Aubry may have taken me for number 1, which concerns me.  I want to be her number 1.  But I have also started to think that Alicia may be a sleeper in this game, and that she is actually playing the game to win.  She could play UTR and peg herself as a crazy goat and easily get dragged to the end where she could do some damage if I am not careful.   I NEED to keep her close cause she could be a pivotal vote.  She still seems to want to play with the people who engage and entertain her the most, and that is what I need.  A 3-some of her Aubry and I should be in the works shortly, and I know that Alicia is also close with Andrea, Jefra and then Hayden in that order.

5.  Aubry - she has moved down the list because I know she is a gamer and has been playing hard on the other tribe.  She is showing her gamebot colors.  She says she was in control of her last tribe, and she seems to want to take control of this one too.  Which is hypocritical cause she didn't like when Grant tried to be the head honcho.  I still like Aubry and she is on I definitely want to work closely with and keep on my side, but I know she is close with Andrea and Zach as well, whom I don't see myself working with going forward, so yeah.  I also heard from Jamal (which I didn't believe it was true at first) and then from Locky that Aubry is trying to keep the nuVuku's together and use Silas as a number for them, but they need one more vote.  This is extremely concerning to me and needs to be nipped in the butt.  If she wants Tribal Warfare then she will get it, and nuRaro will come out on top.  The NuVukus are just being messy with this plan cause they don't know who to pull in as a 6th, and both Silas has leaked the plan to Jamal and Zach has leaked the plan to Locky, so they are showing their cracks already.

6.  Locky!  Almost forgot about him, but this is exactly where he should be.  He is still in Locky's Keys with me, which I think will be a tight knit group moving forward.  Hayden has expressed concerns that I share regarding Locky, including how close he has gotten with Phoebe and how he nonchalantly dropped that he was tight with Zach.  I got super lucky that he dropped the ball and leaked this cause I would not have seen that relationship at all.  So anyways, Hayden and I think he is trustworthy for now and has our best interests at heart, but when push comes to shove, Locky does have some options moving forward and a lot of info coming in.  We told him to be our inside guy with the NuVukus, but I just don't want to end up losing him to them.  I need my allies to have no options other than me going forward, so Zach could be a great merge vote for my game.








very big gap and then we get to 7.  Jefra  She is simply higher than the rest cause she swapped onto my second tribe with me, and seems like maybe she would be loyal?  But also seems like she could run back to Aubry and like Andrea and Alicia, so idk.  I just think Jefra is very mysterious and I can NOT get a read on her ever, which concerns me.  I think someone like her could be my downfall and could honestly become the winner of this game.

8.  oh god the rest are so bad (for my game at least, not personally).  I'll go with Phoebe!  Only because she is a NuRaro and if Tribal Warfare begins then we need her to be our 6th vote.  She is enjoyable to talk to all the time, but is just not online a lot when I am, so our relationship can only ever get so far.  And her relationship with Locky will always be a concern.

9.  Andrea.  Jamal said he had a really long convo with her, and Alicia and Aubry love her, and I did too like the first night of the game, but just have not felt it since.  I think she is sweet, but we just talk about the wrong topics that are honestly not that interesting to me, so idk.  She could be a number for Aubry and Alicia and could have basically taken the spot that I was in on ogVuku, and I want my spot back with those 2 girls!  So I will fight Andrea to the death for it lollll.

10.  Zach.  He didn't message me last night with merge, and I didn't message him either.  We usually have short lived convos, but now we are talking about AU BB and the convo is a little more interesting.  Hopefully we can keep it up (solely so he doesn't target me), but I don't see myself moving my eyes off of him as a target these next few rounds.  Him being close with Aubry and Locky, and not being an ally for Hayden, Jamal or I just makes him the ideal target.

11.  and Silas.  Super enjoyable guy, socially savy, and keeps the convo going and interesting always.  Which is the problem.  There is a reason he is the last Raro standing from nuVuku, and that can't be simply looked past.  He is so so social and can worm his way in anywhere it seems.  It just makes me super nervous, and Jamal Hayden and Locky seem to be in agreement about him.  But we also mentioned using him cause he would feel more comfortable working with nuRaro than nuVuku I would think.  And it is just annoying that Aubry keeps trying to say that Grant was just becoming too much so she had to take him out.  Like no girl, you wanted to keep Silas.  Just admit it.



Anyways, that is way more than enough for now.  If anyone got through all of that, then good for you!  Maybe more to come about potential alliances tonight or tomorrow.  I am excited for this live Immunity Challenge!

Ok so that is so funny that Box number 2 was 3 free keys because that is really all I need to complete the idol hunt, and I was so close to putting all my money on Box 2 instead of Box 1. I also was really close to putting like $492 on box 1 and like a dollar on the rest in case something silly like this happened, but alas, I didn't. Mistakes were made.

[sarah]

Any nice things I have ever said about Jamal or ever will, I take them all back cause he fucking cock blocked me and bid all his money on Box 1 as well. Clearly we are on the same wavelength, but that is not where we wanted to be for this auction hahahaha. Wish I had done 499 on box 1 and 1 on box 2. that would have been amazing

[sarah]

LOL Aubry created an og Vuku ladies chat and I outted it to Locky and Hayden literally a minute or two after it was created, before I even messaged in that group ahahahahaahahaha. I am a horrible "ally" I guess. But Aubry has been her paranoid self and the second the auction ended she ran to literally everyone and asked what they got. Painted quite a big target on her back, and she is already targeting my boy Hayden. I do NOT want to have to choose between Aubry/Alicia and Hayden this soon.

But this chat is actually good for me because if the ladies end up doing something that I want, then I can go with them. Otherwise, I can get some valuable info from Aubry and hopefully Andrea through this chat. PLUS, I told my boys that we will see if Jefra tells either of them about this newly created "alliance" because Locky's Keys really don't know where Jefra stands right now.

[sarah]

I honestly have no more words to say for this round. The vote has changed no joke 15 times and everyone is leaking info and everyone has certain people that they want to keep safe. And well, everyone can't be happy. Silas has caused so much unnecessary drama all day and I am so exhausted from it that I literally can't even write about this round. If he fucks us over this round I am going to blow his shit sky high next round. I hope Jamal stays safe and keeps the idol, that is all.
