Sorry for being late folks. Lot's going on. Enjoy Episode 8 Survivor Holidays Valentines Day Day 22 On his near miss of being voted out Lucas had this to share the next morning Within moments my world has crumbled. I was barely AWAY and I was almost voted out. Now I am a sensible person and I do realize things do change. There is no one here that I have a tried and true pact with. Zero. I have alliances but they have made it clear that they do not have faith in me. I have to accept the very real possibility that I might be the next ine gone unless I do something. And in a pit of snakes my options are limited. Ryan found Lucas walking in the woods and walked up to him Ryan: sorry Lucas: was wondering if you'd say anything Ryan: I had to stick by rami i just couldn't write his name Lucas: fair enough Ryan: I didn't think that he should have been the one so I offered my support Lucas: but why me since we were in an alliance? Ryan: you were also in that alliance with rami if you remember correctly Lucas: he also went to Steve and begged him and Kyle to vote me out Lucas: he fired the first shot Ryan: I’m not going to get into what he did or you did, I voted for you because he told me that that was who he was going for and I knew that everyone else was voting him and that's harsh Ryan: so I stuck to my word and I didn't vote against him Lucas: I'm just telling you why *I* did it Lucas: I was happy to support him until he threw my name in the mix Ryan: I could have taken the cowards approach and just voted with the group but my word is a little more important especially when I trust him Ryan: who did you vote for at the last tc Lucas: the one today or the last one? Ryan: last one Lucas: Tony, just like I said Ryan: so then who could have put my name down? Ryan: if Taylor and Kyle and Steve all promised to not write my name down ahead of time and rami and Tony both voted rami Ryan: that means it was either you or one of the other three were lying Ryan: to be honest I have heard from several people that you have alliances with them, and those people were the only ones left on the tribe so I was wondering which of those alliances you'd break Ryan: At least I guessed right in that you would break our alliance Lucas: I don't recall going against you Lucas: I recall going against someone who threw my name in the mix Ryan: rami you and me were all aligned Lucas: if he hadn't acted first I would have been fine with it Ryan: so if he hadn't moved first who would you have gone after Lucas: whoever you two wanted Ryan: and no I’m not going to go run and tell them I'm not that kind of person Ryan: that's a lie and you know it Ryan: you haven't asked either of us who to vote until I approached you today Ryan: and that's how its been in the last couple of weeks Lucas: I never go to people about the vote Lucas: I always let them come to me Ryan: whatever I'm disappointed that this is what it came down to but I'm ready to move on and get back to the vote Ryan: Like I said I'm sorry about the vote Ryan: but I made a promise and I kept it sorry Lucas: that's fine. *shakes* Lucas: now we have to find a weak link in the women Ryan: agreed Meanwhile, Kyle was back at the resort sharing his thoughts on last nights vote Well, I did it. I stabbed someone in the back for the first time in this game, and of all the years I've watched Survivor I’ve always said I would never play that way. Wow, look at me... I guess I would fit right in to Sue Hawk's jury speech. www.acmebraintrust.com/images/Corvis/sue2.jpg[/img] Rami is gone, and really it's all because of me. If I had voted Lucas, then they would've tied because both of them have 2 past votes, and I don't know what in the world the tiebreaker would've been. So if Rami would've have still gone after the tie breaker, then I would be next because I voted for Lucas and the three (Lucas, Taylor, and Big Steve) were still left standing. So Rami, when you read this a couple of months from now I hope you understand. And as far as Lucas' connection with the girls....come to find out it's my connection too, with Gracie and Jenne. So I needed to keep him in, and it doesn't....at least I don't think....at least I HOPE.....it doesn't mean that this connection is going to come after me. Have I ever posted how much I adore Gracie and Jenne? I really do. I love them to death. Enough mushy...I need to get on with it...my confessionals seem to get longer and longer. The only fear I have is that Lucas just might have more connections with the girls then what Taylor and I know, or maybe than what Jenne and Gracie lead on. I don't THINK this would happen, but you never know in this game that Jenne is wanting to keep Lucas around so that if we do get to final 5 that she and Gracie and Lucas can overcome Taylor and I. I don't know...I'm just being paranoid. I don't know why Jenne would do that to us except for that big huge fight She and Taylor had before starting this game. I guess I'll never truly know what's going on until I get to read the episodes in several months. Oh, and another thing I need to watch out closely for....that's Jamie. I know from Survivor Hawaii, in which we are "supposed" to be in an alliance together, that she is very, very deceitful. I don't know if she plays the same in every game or holds grudges or what, but I don't like the fact that she is in this game, knowing how I play. I don't like the fact that Jenne is pretty tight with her. I don't like the fact that she has stopped talking to me period, involving either game. I feel like something is in the works there. So I'm going to have to keep my eye on her. I KNOW!!! The light comes on. Seems like I'm going to have to sacrifice Ryan for Jenne's sake, just because she doesn't like him. I think that Jenne should return the favor. *sigh* I just need to get past the next couple of votes to see where this is headed. Have you noticed that I seem to always say that before every tribal council? "Just need to get past this vote, Just need to get past this vote." Do I have an ulcer yet?

As they went for a ride in the city on motor scooters, Jenne and Jamie chatted about what turns the game may take Jamie: ::sigh:: Jamie: I think we've got merge coming. Jenne: agreed Jenne: I be nervous! Jamie: Snatch up Lucas and keep our 4? Jenne: I hope so. there are a couple guys I like that I wouldn’t mind keeping round a lil longer. but us 4 should stay strong Jamie: Defiantly. Jenne: I am kinda scared what will happen with us all together. but I have faith that we will be fine Jamie: So long as we four stay strong, drag in a few boys, and keep an eye on Ellie and Kelley I think we'll be fine. Jenne: *cheers* Gracie was sitting at a table after eating lunch when Kyle came up and sat down Gracie: what do you think of the next challenge? Gracie: *grin* and by the way .. I adore you for voting Rami out Kyle: I’m just doing what's best for the fab 5 Gracie: *nods* totally Kyle: I hope we can over come....but I’m afraid of 3 things... Gracie: which are? Kyle: a twist that will hurt us Kyle: Lucas having connections with any of the other girls Kyle: and the other girls period...particularly Jamie Gracie: why Jamie? Gracie: has she done something I don't know about? Kyle: because she's a tough cookie Gracie: how so? Kyle: she's really good at the challenges isn't she? Gracie: hmmm ... for the most part I think Gracie: the girls have really worked together well on the challenge Kyle: yeah As everyone sat down for dinner, Rob and Karen appeared. Rob: “Hello everyone. I hope things are going well for all of you. I am here to tell you that Karen has a very important announcement to make. Karen, the floor is yours.”<br> Karen: OK, Survivors...you have now officially merged into one big new tribe! Congratulations! But keep in mind...No more tribal wins...No more sending the other tribe to TC...No more relying on others to help you through the game...You're on your own, folks. Individual immunity is now up for grabs! This challenge is quite simple. Because you are no longer on Tribe Arrow or Tribe Cupid, you need a new name for your merged and newly-formed tribe. It is your job to come up with 3 things: 1. A new tribal name (we prefer that it carry on a Valentine's Day theme) 2. A meaning for the tribal name 3. And 2 or 3 colors you wish for your tribe to have You have until tomorrow morning to complete this challenge Now, let me explain the 2nd part of the challenge... At that time, I will collect all tribal name suggestions and put them together and tomorrow morning at breakfast I will show all of you what the submissions were but you won’t know who submitted what. It will be your job to choose ONLY one submission that you like the best. Please remember...you CANNOT vote for your own! Therefore, you want to make your tribal name suggestion/meaning/colors meaningful and eye-catching in order to receive votes from your tribe mates. If yours is chosen by the majority of the tribe, not only will you have the privilege of being able to name the new tribe, but also given immunity at the next tribal council. This is definitely something you want to work for. Remember...no one is safe at TC unless you're the lucky one wearing the necklace. So, after dinner....go hunting for an awesome tribal name/definition/colors.

After dinner while he was trying to come up with a good name, Lucas shared his thoughts on the merge.
The merge. Thank god. I'm with the people I want to be with. But in every silver lining is a dark cloud. The problem is we are not secure as a group yet. We are five and still be picked off by a united six. Fortunately for us we have a convenient scapegoat in Ryan. He was too close to Mitch, Kyle wants to save him, and the girls think very very low of him. For all intents we have a target that unites us. The second stage will be trickier. There isn't a nail to hammer down as obvious as Ryan. In theory Ellie or Kelley are expendable. But people might fight that. Still, I see victory within our grasp now. The road to victory is set and the prize is within sight.
Kelley and Annette talked about the twist.
Kelley: congrats on making merge ANNETTE: Thanks, you too! Kelley: I'm so glad! Kelley: the timing of this game really has been perfect for us ANNETTE: Yes, it has. Kelley: the merge right after we finally get majority. LOL ANNETTE: I'm glad it happened. ANNETTE: I was worried for a while. Kelley: me too Kelley: especially since I heard a few of the guys were determined to get out all of us ANNETTE: I heard the same.
Later that night, Gracie shared some info with Annette.
Gracie: ooh one thing I learned today Gracie: Kyle and Jamie aren't the bestest of friends Gracie: Kyle wants to vote Jamie out next Gracie: I didn't really respond to that ANNETTE: Why?? Gracie: evidently they're playing in another game together Gracie: and I think Jamie was just voted out ANNETTE: Ooooh. That's a shitty reason. Gracie: *nods* ANNETTE: Games shouldn't intercross. Gracie: totally agree ANNETTE: Even if Jamie said the same thing - I would think it. Gracie: yep Gracie: I know what you mean. Gracie: so .. I didn't really respond too much to it
As midnight drew near, Kyle went to Ryan to explain his reasoning behind why he voted for Rami
Kyle: don't hate me Kyle: I’m not against you Ryan: I don't Ryan: I know I just had to keep my word to him Ryan: its fine really Kyle: I know....and if it had been you...I would have stuck my neck out for you Ryan: thanks I appreciate that Ryan: man does it suck that we merged Kyle: yeah cause we are underhanded Ryan: yeah Kyle: I was so afraid you were going to hate me Ryan: no just now we are out numbered and you me Steve and Taylor will be targeted first Ryan: that's what I was trying to get you guys to see Ryan: Lucas has too many ties Kyle: I don't think he has as many as you think Ryan: he had links to the entire team and had told me early on that he had ties to a girl too Kyle: to a girl Kyle: not many girls Ryan: yup Ryan: well all he needs is the right one and he has all of their support Kyle: well we just have to take it one step at a time Ryan: we need to find a swing vote Ryan: best bet will probably be ellie or Kelley Ryan: will you still keep an honest and open exchange with me now that the merge is here? Kyle: of course...why would I not?? Ryan: just need some reassurance sorry Kyle: I know that the decision I made was probably not to you best interest ....or to our friendship Kyle: but I really was in a pickle Ryan: that's not why I’m questioning you... I understand that you had to do that its fine really Kyle: so why do you question me now? Ryan: its a change we've merged I lost someone who has been watching out for me and it just made me a bit nervous I guess Kyle: and I understand that Ryan: I trust you I just wanted to hear it... I didn't mean for it to sound like I don't trust you cause I do Kyle: the thing was....I knew big Steve was not going to vote Lucas....cause he told me just a couple of days ago that he trusted Rami the least Ryan: isn't it funny how Steve hasn't been around but you would never even think to target him Kyle: that's called one thing.... Kyle: under the radar

Sitting in Gracie’s hut that night, she and Jenne celebrated.
Jenne: MERGE!!! Jenne: WE DID IT! Gracie: I'm so happy! Jenne: omg so can I review with you our alliances to make sure we both know what we got ourselves into? Jenne: its getting complicated Gracie: yes! Jenne: ok so to Kellie we have the deal with the 5 girls Jenne: to Kyle its you, me, Lucas, tay, and him Gracie: yes Jenne: and I talked to Jamie today bout a f6 of you, me, her, Lucas, Taylor, and Annette Gracie: lol .. I like all those alliances Gracie: where do we fall in with Kyle and/or Steve? Gracie: but if we have the 6-person alliance Gracie: we're pretty safe for a while Jenne: I told you its confusing! Gracie: lol .. it is! Gracie: we'll have to tread pretty careful Jenne: but good thing is you, me, Lucas, and Taylor are in all of em. except to Kellie Gracie: yeah .. and Ellie just isn't around Gracie: I think either Ellie or Ryan would go next possibly Gracie: though I'd rather see Ryan go first Gracie: hmmm Gracie: here's something interesting Gracie: Kyle just told me that Ryan will vote with him Jenne: Kyle is in with Ryan Jenne: but I want Ryan gone next Jenne: badly Gracie: me too Jenne: we ran into a glitch with Kyle Gracie: yeah? Jenne: him and Jamie will never be allied Jenne: so we have to chose one basically Jenne: not right away but soon Gracie: yeah Jenne: Kyle is our pawn! how dare he think he can have his own pawn! Gracie: LOL Gracie: exactly! Jenne: well the way to the f2 for us is to split up mike and Jamie at f5 Gracie: yep Jenne: which sux but probably the only way Gracie: and I'd rather send Jamie home than Mike Jenne: given! Jenne: well if its f4 of you, me, mike, and Taylor that would rock! Gracie: hell yes Jenne: cause Taylor would go with us over mikey/jamie Gracie: def
Gracie left to go to bed and Jenne was still happy.
MERGE BABY MERGE!!! Oh my goodness! I am still here! YAHOOOOOOO! This is where this game is gonna get interesting….and complicated. Let us review my alliances: There is the girl’s alliance, established as Jamie, myself, Gracie, Annette, and Kellie with the hopes of pulling in Ellie as the sixth vote needed to vote out a guy. There is the final 6 with Jamie, myself, Gracie, Annette, Lucas, and Taylor with a f3 deal built in with Lucas and Jamie. Then of course there is the final 5 deal with myself, Gracie, Lucas, Kyle, and Taylor with a f3 deal built in with Taylor and Kyle. And of course F2 deals with Taylor and Gracie. Have I put myself in a sticky situation? Hell yes! But isn’t that what makes this fun? So unless I have forgotten some, those are the deals I have made. So what am I really thinking? Well I have been very clear that Ryan and Kellie are on my shit list and pretty much always have been. So top priority is dumping those two first. Then I am left with all allies! *shrugs* Not a bad spot to be in! Really the next four boots I don’t care which order between Ellie, Kyle, Annette, and Steve. I like all four of them and really will just see how things go rather than figure it out now. That leaves me with the ideal final 5 of myself, Gracie, Taylor, Jamie, and Lucas. At this point I would have a tuff choice. Because I could honor my deal with Jamie and Lucas, killing my chances at winning or I could grab Gracie and Taylor, both final 2 partners, and vote out Jamie. That would be shady but the only way I could win. Mike would be mad but if I want to win that is the way I would have to go. Then I think I would have a smooth ride into the final 2 *crosses fingers*. Ideally I would face Mike or Taylor in the final 2 because I know I would beat either one but I would be okay facing Gracie as well. I adore all three of them so much that even if I lost or didn’t make the f2 I would be happy if one of them did. Of course there is a long road ahead between now and then and immunities which factor in but that is my long-term IDEAL plan but I realize a lot of things could go wrong. In survivor, nothing ever goes to plan and I am well aware of this. So again, I am trying to remain fluid and changeable. Adjusting when I have to and praying people don’t start comparing stories. I have a great thing going right now and if I can keep it up I will be impressed! Any way it goes though I am just so excited to have made the merge and am anxious to finish this game out!!! MERGE!!! WHOOOOOHOOOO!!!

Gracie got back to her hut and was also happy at the merge news still
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! We merged. First step made ... I made the merge. I think everyone was thrilled tonight when the merge was announced. Interestingly enough .. it seems that Ryan is NOW talking to the girls ... the very girls he has been intent on voting out. I think when Rami got sent him .. he knew exactly where he stood in line - NEXT. If Ryan is not immune . that's exactly where he will be - NEXT. Ryan is the only guy to not have talked to me. Which means, I have no use for him. Bye bye Ryan. Tonight Jenne told me the astounding news that she and Lucas do NOT have a F2. Evidently Jamie and Lucas have an F2. So I immediately asked Jenne for a F2. She said YES! Now we have plans to send Jamie home somewhere about the F5 spot to split up Jamie and Lucas. Which we will have to do in order to get to the f2 spots. Jenne and I also went through all our alliances so we know where we stand. I *think* we're pretty good until we hit f6 and f5 .. then we'll have to start cracking. But let me just say .. I'm thrilled for the merge.
Before heading to bed, Kyle shared his thoughts on the merge and the game as a whole:
Here's my standings with everyone left in the game....I'll start with the least amount of rapport and end with my closest friends here. Kelley: I've talked to her maybe twice this whole game...in a joint chat the very first day, and just the other day to congratulate her on the pounding she put on us more or less humbled men the other day. I have no opinion of her except that she seems nice. But she voted for Jenne the first TC and she's pretty scarce online. Ellie: I've talked to her very little more than Kelley because she's pretty scarce online too. She did play in the "around the campfire" game when we first got here and she seems nice too. Jamie: Jamie, Jamie. Huge threat to me. Huge. And it's all because of another game which should NEVER have any bearings on a current game. Never. Unfortunately I believe it does for her. Simply because she has stopped talking to me. I want to get her out as soon as possible. Annette: I talked to her more in the beginning, and I like her a lot, and she has a beautiful little girl. We haven't talked in a while and that's only because the game has become so intense and time consuming that when I see her online I’m usually in the middle of strategy or doing a challenge. So I think we could work together well. We'll see. I like her, but my loyalties are definitely not with her. Big Steve: We said a while back that we were going to be straight with one another, but he's a tough one to read. I've lost a little bit of trust for him simply because of that day he told me he was tired of people playing so slyly. It was just a game and he was going to vote his conscious. Well this last TC he was playing just as much as the next person. So I don't know what the future holds for us two but we'll see. Lucas: Ok, so I trust Lucas less than say Annette but I at least like the dude. He's actually a bud outside of the game. It's just his jumping all over the map still has me skeptical, and I'm just anxious to see what kind of plans he and Jenne really have. Nevertheless he's a member of the Fab 5 and swears with his life that he is with Taylor and I. Gracie: Love her. Just love her. Member of the Fab 5 as I like to call it...and I hope I'm not jinxing myself referring to that. We've spent this whole game so far just talking about life and becoming friends. She is an excellent person and very fun to talk to, and she's aggressive too...tackles me every time I see her. *raises eyebrows* I kind of like it.....Ok, rabbit trail...anyways, we didn't start talking strategy until within the last few days when we were absolutely comfortable with one another and things were unfolding that the 5 of us have a strong connection of sorts. *big hug for Gracie* Ryan: He is my pal. We've been good friends since Mitch's boot because we both seemed to find some rid flags with my buddy Lucas. Ryan is a hard worker and both of us have worked well together. We've been a team. I really like to take him much farther than it seems the plan is going to. I promised him I would never vote for him, so we'll see how I'm going to get around that. At this point in time, I don't think he's too thrilled about me anymore. Jenne: Adore her. Absolutely a blast to talk to and like Gracie we didn't start talking strategy until the past few days. She's good for my ego, but she's a sweetheart and sexy and spunky and likes to tantalize me on occasion...I love that! I just hope its not all an act to wrap me in then cut me off. Jenne please don't be a huge act...I like you too much. Oh, and she's one of the Fab 5. *big hug for Jenne* Taylor: Taylor is my closest friend in this game, the very first person I talked to on day 1. We had plenty to talk about from weightlifting to school to writing....we both share many of the same interests, so I think we'd be buds in real life. We also have a hope to get to final 2 together, which is a long shot, but goals are very good. Makes us work harder. So of course, he's a Fab 5, and then I make up the fifth member.
Ryan and Annette have a late night chat
Ryan: I’m a bit sad about tc ANNETTE: Not what you had expected? Ryan: I expected it but didn't want it ANNETTE: Sorry to hear that. Sad to see Rami go but it would have been nice if we had talked more. Ryan: yeah he wasn't around much Ryan: I guess I’m starting back at stage one ANNETTE: I think we all are. Ryan: I know that it doesn't help you much because you girls have the numbers but I think my team is going to ostracize me so if there is anything I can do to help don't be afraid to ask ANNETTE: Ok

Day 23
On the way to breakfast, Jenne and Annette shared their thoughts with each other
Jenne: do you think all the girls will be able to keep it together? ANNETTE: I sure as hell hope so - Ryan's already trying to jump ship! lol Jenne: *rolls eyes* Jenne: that boy is toast! ANNETTE: Yuuup. ANNETTE: Him and I got along great on day 1, then he barely spoke to me after that. Not sure if I told you or not but after our recent win, I said Good try to him and he's like "Yeah right", which I thought was kinda rude. I was being sincere. Jenne: you try to be a good sport and look what it getcha ANNETTE: Exactly. Jenne: Ryan is only abandoning the guys cause they are down #s Jenne: if it were reversed he be voting us all off one by one ANNETTE: And now he wants to work together?! Ummm... *thinks* No thanks. I'll stick with the people who have worked with me and talked with me since day 1. ANNETTE: Yes, exactly. Jenne: I know us four are tight. and I am hoping that Kellie and ellie decide to stick with us thru this. I really like ellie, I just wish she were around more! ANNETTE: We just need to make them feel safe & secure - because we don't want them hooking up with the guys. Jenne: heck no! I dont think they will though Jenne: we have all voted together this whole game Jenne: I think that means something ANNETTE: Me too. Jenne: yah huh, I wonder who the guys would chose to target Jenne: I bet that they all crumble and come running to us though Jenne: that would be hysterical Jenne: Steve wants to join the girls, he told me he wants to vote Ryan off Jenne: I can say 100% that I am writing Ryan’s name down next TC Jenne: I may even draw hearts all over it ANNETTE: hahaha ANNETTE: That's crazy! Why does Steve want to join us? Jenne: a couple girls mentioned the same thing but he told me too. he has been miserable with the guys and has been waiting for the chance to jump ship Jenne: he voted for Ryan before ANNETTE: Wow, really... he doesn't hardly talk to me. Jenne: said he doesn’t trust any of em and said Ryan lied to him so much he couldn’t take it Jenne: awww, he is a sweet kid Jenne: you should try to talk to him, you'll like him Jenne: and...an extra vote Jenne: I think his contempt for the guys is genuine, he brought up Ryan to me w/o any prompting ANNETTE: That's cool. Jenne: I haven’t talked to him too many times but I trust that he'll vote with us. but then again, I trust everyone! ergh! Jenne: well I guess I shouldnt say everyone. but its hard not to take people for their face value ANNETTE: Yes, I understand that one *very* well.
Gracie saw Lucas up ahead, ran up behind him and jumped on his back
Gracie: we're MERGED Lucas: I know! Lucas: *happy dance* Gracie: *grin* Gracie: I'm so happy! Lucas: I can make Ryan squirm big time Lucas: hehehehe Gracie: Kyle just told me .. that Ryan will vote with him Gracie: interesting Gracie: and something to be aware of Lucas: golly gee gumbucks Lucas: colour me surprised Gracie: lol Gracie: if Ryan doesn't win immunity .. AND HE WON'T ... I want him out next Lucas: I'm down with that Gracie: we need to have a back-up plan Lucas: hmmmm Lucas: Kelley? Gracie: or Ellie? Gracie: or Kyle? since Ryan thinks he's with him Lucas: it'd help keep Ryan in line Lucas: nit sure if we'd have the votes for Kyle Gracie: Jamie would vote him out Lucas: I know Lucas: wanna be careful until we are secure Gracie: good point Lucas: need a sensible back-up target Gracie: yeah Lucas: oh well. one road at a time Gracie: lol .. 'cause WE MERGED
As the castaways ate breakfast, Rob was seen bringing in this huge cork board that was covered up, with Karen close behind.
Karen: Good morning survivors. Well, as promised, this morning as you enjoy your breakfast you will have the pleasure of looking over the submitted tribe names and colors. So without further adieu, Rob if you would.
Rob rips the blanket off of the board, revealing the submissions
On the board was the following information
Tribe Name: Venus Patron Saint: Goddess of Love Patron Singer: Paul Anka Tribal Colors: Red and White (Red for Love and White for Purity = Pure Love) Tribal Meaning: Pure Competition (as in between Venus and Psyche)
Team Name: Orleans Meaning: Charles, Duke of Orleans is the author of the first known valentine. Colors: Gold and Black (from the coat of arms of the Waller family and current holder of the title)

Tribe Name: Magnolia Tribe Name meaning: A popular Valentine's Day flower, the magnolia stands for PERSERVERANCE which we all have practiced to get ourselves to the merge. Colors: White: for pure beginnings Red: for the war that will brew to get to the end. Tribe Name: Fate Reason for Tribe Name: Fate is a plain and simple term, its meaning, however, I suggest you learn. In this game or in you life, this simple term will cause you much strife. As man meets woman, and woman meets man, they will join together to form one clan. While the game unfolds and strategy is shown one thing is certain, our fates are unknown. Team Colors: Red (symbolizes females), Blue (symbolizes males) and Purple (symbolizing the merging of the two) Tribe Name: Aphrodite Meaning: Aphrodite was the patron goddess of love in ancient Greece. Since love often has as trong foothold in the holiday of Valentine's day it would be a fitting name for the tribe. I figure by naming our tribe Aphrodite we would in a sense gain Aphrodite as our patron goddess to oversee the remainder of the game Color: White, white is a fresh beginning which is what merge represents, and another color that is often associated with Valentine's Day. Tribe Hymen! Reason: Hymen was the Greek god of marriage and is often depicted carrying a marriage feast torch in his hand. He is the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Dionysus, the god of wine aka partying! I like Hymen because as a merged tribe we represent a union of two individual tribes coming together as one, much like in the marriage ceremony. I also like that he carries a torch which is said to bring tears when it goes out...fitting! The torch was used in casting omens at feasts with regard to the success of the marriage. Much like in Survivor, as long as your torch is burning you have a life in this game but once your torch is snuffed, your time in the game is over. He is thus the combination of his parents, representing both love and a love of partying! Nothing better on Valentine's Day than a lil love and wine! The colors for Tribe Hymen would be pink, to represent love, and yellow, to represent the cheer of partying! 1. Diligo 2. Latin word for love, used less than Amour 3. A deep silkly red, almost maroon, and a dark gold. Tribe Name: Melineescha (Mel-in-ee-sha) Meaning: Honor the gods and the land. Do not be afraid, for they will help you survive. Colors: Pink and Blue Tribe Name: Lupercalia Meaning/History: "Roman Feast of Lupercalia - This ancient pagan fertility celebration, which honored Juno, queen of the Roman gods and goddesses and goddess of women and marriage, was held on February 14, the day before the feast began. During festival time, women would write love letters, also known as billets, and leave them in a large urn. The men of Rome would then draw a note from the urn and ardently pursue the woman who wrote the message they had chosen. (Apparently, the custom of lottery drawings to select valentines continued into the 18th century, coming to an end when people decided they'd rather choose -- sight seen! -- their valentines.)" Credit to: people.howstuffworks.com/valentine1.htmColors: Red, Pink & Black 1. My tribe name suggestion is LUPERCUS. 2. Lupercus preceeded Saint Valentine as the representation of love, lust and sexual desire. Considering this is Valentines' Day, I think it fits. 3. I think the colors that go well for this are burgundy and gold because they are colors of passion. Karen: Ok there you have them. Ellie I am sorry but when I went to your hut to get your submission, I didn’t see one on the steps like you were supposed to leave, therefore you don’t have a chance to win immunity, but you still get to vote. Ok, everyone have a good day, and Rob and I will see you on challenge beach after lunch, where at that time everyone will cast a vote for the name they like. Annette and Gracie stood looking at the board Gracie: this will be a good competition ANNETTE: Do you think all of the ladies should pick one of the ladies' names and all vote for it? Gracie: yes! Gracie: I just don't want Ryan to win ANNETTE: I was thinking, just to keep us safe, we should pick the person who had the most past votes. Gracie: good idea

As Jenne sat looking over the sheet where she wrote down all the names, she shared some thoughts Notes on Jury: Ok well we could be facing a 9 member jury *scowls* or a traditional 7 member jury. Now the people sitting in loser’s lodge are there for a reason. I wanted them all there. Lisa, Steph, Ashlee- I wanted them all gone and contributed to their exits. Mitch, Lil Steven, Tony- I wanted them all gone and contributed to their ousting. Rami was the first vote where the person I wanted gone was not voted out. Why did this happen? Kyle. But I will discuss that later cause really Rami going just gave me the chance to vote Ryan out myself! I am hoping for a 7 person jury because it gives me precisely 2 boots to get rid of the last two people left who I know would not vote for me in the f2. Kellie and Ryan. If it is a 9 member jury then c¡¦est la vie but if I can knock out those two pre-jury then it is all the better. Although it makes it tricky being aligned in some way to everyone else that is left in this game it also increases the likelihood of them voting for me in the end. Likeability goes a long way, as does friendship. The key is going to be voting all these people out and having them still like me enough to give me their vote at the end. I *think* I can do it. The other upside to having a final 9 of all allies is that even if I am voted out, I will be happy with whoever the f2 end up to be. That is always a plus. Cause if it aint me in the hot seat, then I want two people I like and respect to have the honor. Notes to Players Left in the Game (what I cant say to these people in¨ game): Ryan: Ryan has really not done anything wrong except not include me in any of his alliances or long term plans. If someone does not feel like they need me, then really I have no use for them. This was established long ago between us and I always hoped secretly that I would have the opportunity to write his name down. So Ryan, I am glad you made the merge, but you should know that you never should have rejected me as an ally. Cause it cost you this game I am also praying that you do not somehow end up a jury member because I know you are one vote I will never see. So Ryan, I thank you for playing my nemesis and absorbing all my negative emotions and nastiness because all in all having you helped me play a cleaner, tighter game. Nice having a scapegoat to throw all your angst and wrath on. Kellie: The one mistake you made was voting for me at the first Tribal Council. You knew Lisa was going and you should have stuck with the pack. Dont you know the black sheep in the crowd always gets spotted first by the wolf? Choosing to take a stand against the whole tribe was a no no. Writing down J-E-N-N-E at any TC besides the final one is unacceptable in my book. Like with Ryan, I pray that you do not make the jury because I know you would never vote for me to win. Steve: Awww Steve! This guy has had a rough time out here. He has been very upfront with me lately in abandoning the guys and teaming with the ladies. I am hoping to bring him along as far as possible. I havent made him any promises but I appreciate his forthrightness with me and he has always been good to me. I am also hoping that I am able to vote Steve out without him hating me for it. Not just for his vote but also for his friendship. I hope Steve has a great life and again I feel similarly with him as I do with Ellie. I think he is a great kid and I really hate that I have had to hold a lot back in my relationship with him. Steve, if I manage not to hurt you when I vote you off, I hope that you want to continue our friendship because I have a lot of respect for you and feel like we can learn a lot from one another. Ellie: I like Ellie a whole helluv a lot. Have ever since I met her. But she has simply not been playing this game whole-heartedly. I would love to take her further in this game but really her use to me lays mainly in her vote at the end. I want nothing but good things for her in life and I hope we can continue a friendship because I like seeing young women with their heads screwed on straight. She has a lot going for her! I am going to be miserable when I have to vote Ellie off. Ellie I apologize RIGHT NOW for not ever being completely upfront with you. I never wanted to be dishonest but I was always playing this game to get myself to the end. But you rock! Annette: Annette is someone who because I am not as connected to as others I feel is disposable. We have voted together at every single TC so far and I hope this trend continues. Again, we aren¡¦t as tight as I am with others and although she has been a great ally her greatest service to me will be in her vote at the end. I really like her and I know when the time comes to vote her off it will be hard. Kyle: Gosh Kyle! Kyle, you are awesome. I have had such a wonderful time getting to know you and of course flirting with you. What can I say there is something sexy about a kinky virgin! I HATE what I have and will do to you in this game. I hate that I have hid stuff from you all game; I hate that I will have to vote you off and break my word with you. I HOPE that you can forgive me for what I did and will do in this game and will be my friend after this game is over. Our friendship was never something I had to fake and I was always sincere and as honest as I could be without blowing my game. Honesty is very important to me and I really tried to give you the respect you deserved while also protecting my true alliances. I can tell you don¡¦t want Lucas around much and Jamie is your #1 enemy; these are two people I need here.

So you have recently been bumped down a few notches since this new information came to light. Also your tie to Ryan did not help. You weren¡¦t allowed to accrue your own pawns. That was never a part of the deal! Affiliation with the enemy never bodes well so at least you made it slightly easier on me to vote you off eventually¡Kcause hell Kyle I needed SOMEthing to alleviate the guilt cause I just dig you dude. Please forgive me for everything and be my friend! Jamie: Girlfriend, you make my Mike bears happy and that is literally the only thing you had to do to get me to like you. I adore Mike to high heavens and fully recommend him as a keeper! I know it sucks that he isn¡¦t exactly who you think he is and that we hid the fact that we were already friends. I really hope you understand why we kept it a secret all this time and forgive me and continue our friendship when this is all over but more importantly I hope it doesn¡¦t affect your relationship with Mike. Because it¡¦s not worth losing such an incredible man over I assure you. His feelings are sincere and he would treat you right! You and I have been together from the first vote on. I like that you like to lead things and take charge. I like leading subtly so it was great having you as the shield. You are a great player and a fabulous ally. I hope we vote together every time till the final 5. I know I made that final 3 deal with you but you never say no when offered deals, its just rule of thumb out here. But I am not gonna just sit and let you and Mike walk away with the game. I am here to play too and I might as well go for the gold while here. Final 5 is the best spot to split the two of you up so that is the plan. It¡¦s my only chance to win really so it sucks to break a deal with you and again I hope you can forgive me in the end but I know you won¡¦t harbor ill will. I can not wait to meet you outside of this game so I can be completely honest with you cause I am sick of having to keep up an act. I have a lot of respect for you and enjoy your company so thank you for playing this game by my side. Your friendship and loyalty has meant a lot to me so thank you for being here. Gracie: LOVE HER! The only reason I do not want to face Beth in the f2 is because our strategies are so similar and she has ties to all the same people I do, I am not guaranteed the win. We have played this game side by side the whole way through and I do not plan on breaking that. We see this game the same way, we play this game the same way, and we think about this game the same way. Our similarities have made our partnership smooth and flawless. I think we work together quite well! I truly feel that this game, up until this point at least, has been run by Beth and myself. I doubt anyone ever noticed though. I just love Beth and would be honored to sit next to her in the f2 I just would rather avoid that position cause she could beat me and I say that with the utmost respect ƒº. It has been my absolute pleasure playing Survivor with Beth and I know she is a HUGE part of my success in this game. Luv yah Beffy! Mike: Mike I love you. You have been a true friend for a very long time. But you need to know that you never would have made the merge without my help. I want you around all the way till the f4 and would be thrilled to sit next to you in the f2 if that is possible. It sucks that I want to vote out your girlfriend but I have not worked as hard as I have to play this game to hand over the final 2 at the very end. I just can not bear to let myself do it. I was always sincere when I talked to you about the idea but once the merge hit I just was not gonna accept third place complacently. I need to split you and Jamie up in order to win. It is just a fact. I don¡¦t want to hurt you or lie to you or make you question my love for you ever¡Kbut this is a game and you of all people should know that. I really have worked my butt off out here, partly in protecting you, and I think I am a deserving winner. I guess the big change came when I had to lie to cover up your lie. You have holes in your game Mike; I have seen you play enough to know how you do it. You are emotional and a hothead and try to be a puppet master but that will always land you in loser¡¦s lodge, unless of course there is a sweet Jenne angel on your side manipulating enough boys to keep you safe. But I do not enjoy lying to people nor do I enjoy toying with them. Yes I have done both things in this game but I derive zero pleasure from it. The fact that you lie so easily bothers me when you drag my name into the lie. Because I have been very careful with what I have said to people here and your lies just cause my game to tangle. So when your game began to interfere with my game that is when I decided not to hand over this game to you. This is my game to lose and I am gonna play this game to the best of my ability and hope it lands me in the final 2. I know our friendship is stronger than a game and that you may be pissed but you will forgive me, otherwise I would never risk our friendship to win a game. But this is a game and I am playing the game to win so there are moves I plan on making that you won¡¦t like. I am sorry for that. But I love you! Taylor: Taylor you are the only alliance I ever made in this game. Every single other alliance that I find myself in, and there are many, others approached me. I never said no to a single alliance offer in this game- that would have been dumb. But you are the one person I did make an alliance with and I hope you realize that means something. This game has saved our friendship and that is an amazing thing. I know you were probably wary of me at first but I hope you have come to realize that I have always been working to get you further in this game so that I could sit next to in the final two. I will be happy sitting in the final 2 with anyone but you are the one I WANT to sit next to. You were my friend in Tonga and you voted me out but I forgave you a long time ago for that. This is how it should be, you and I, side by side, holding hands at the final tribal council duking it out for votes! To be frank, I think I will cream you in a jury vote but that is not the only reason I wanted you next to me. I love you Taylor and I am glad that we are still friends. I want you to know that I understand why you lied to me for two years and that I have forgiven you completely for it. I adore you and am hoping so badly that we end up at the end together!

Ellie saw Jenne sitting alone, so she walked over and plopped down beside her
Ellie: I feel like I don't have any alliances. I keep saying that in my confessional that I feel like I have an unspoken alliance with you. Jenne: I have felt the same Jenne: I kinda gush about you at times Ellie: So do you want to make it a spoken one? lol Jenne: but I always say "I just wish she were here more!" Ellie: I have this horrible feeling that Annette, Kelley, Jamie, and Gracie have an alliance. Ellie: Annette told me that her and Kelley knew each other before the game. Then she would always stick up for her. Then I found out Gracie and Jamie did have an alliance with Ashlee. Jenne: all the girls have stuck together in all the votes. I thinkthat will continue Jenne: but I know what you mean Jenne: but Kellie is the one on the outside the most. the next boot would not have mean either of us Jenne: I am almost positive about that Ellie: Ok. So you don't think they have a final 4 alliance? Jenne: everyone told me Kellie was next Jenne: for soooo long Ellie: k.. maybe I'm worrying too much. Jenne: that is the name of this game Jenne: people have been low key. I am not an aggressive player. I dont bring up alliances ever. I guess thats why we never had one Jenne: but silence can be unsettling Ellie: I'm not aggressive but I don't want to sit back and wait until it's too late. Like it's my time to go and I am just realizing my position. Jenne: I think the girls want to stick together though and I just want to stay out of people's way Jenne: and hope the big boys kill each other off Jenne: and leave us here to rule the roost! Ellie: Yes! That sounds great. hehe Ellie: So you don't want to form an actual alliance? I'm not saying Final 2 (although I could see it happening) I just mean we'll look out for each other and tell each other what we know. What we did before but it's more official. lol Jenne: this whole game I have just tried to stay positive and enjoy the experience. really I could go anytime and be happy with how everything ended up. not that I want to give up or anything! Ellie: I feel that way on one hand but I'm a perfectionist by nature. haha Jenne: ellie I have never voted w/o discussing it with you first and I was not planning on changing that Ellie: Yep, I always waited to discuss it with you too! Jenne: but I am glad we are talking bout it officially. merge kinda behooves that Ellie: I just don't want to see us left out of anything. Jenne: I really think we will fine here though. Annette is awsome and I trust her and she likes the two of us...I think...so if there was some big conspiracy we would have heard *some*thing about it by now Ellie: True.
With a scowl on her face, Gracie walked up to Lucas, took his arm and led him away to behind a hut
Gracie: damn it fuck Lucas: what what Gracie: Kelley LIKES Ryan! Lucas: oy vey Gracie: and we were talking about the vote Gracie: and I said Ryan Gracie: and she's like "why? Gracie: I'm talking to him right now and he's nice Gracie: *smacks forehead* Lucas: he's desperate Gracie: lol Gracie: he still has not talked to me Lucas: could be tricky without her Lucas: though I can't imagine Taylor not being on board Gracie: we still have the votes to oust him Gracie: we have you, Steve, Taylor, me, jenne, Annette, Jamie Gracie: more than enough Lucas: hopefully all will go well Lucas: barring immunity Gracie: I don't even to think about him having immunity Lucas: me neither
After lunch, the survivors made their way to challenge beach and found their seats on stools.
Rob: Ok everyone, I hope you have had ample time to look over the submitted tribe names. It’s time to vote. Oh wait a minute, where is Taylor??
Everyone looks around and doesn’t see him anywhere.
Rob: Well if he shows before the voting is done he may cast a vote. If not then we will go with the 10 we have. As you see, behind me is a closed in small hut. That is where each of you will take turns casting your vote. Jenne, you are first.

One by one the survivors enter the hut and write down which name they desire to be the new Tribe name. Once they are done, Rob enters the hut and comes back with the voting urn
Rob: Ok, I will now read the votes. The name that wins will be your new tribe name and the person that submitted will win the all important immunity.
First vote:
Diligo
Second vote:
Hymen
Third vote:
Orleans
Fourth vote:
Lupercalia
Fifth vote:
Magnolia
Sixth vote:
Magnolia
Seventh vote
Lupercalia
Eight vote:
Orleans
Ninth vote:
Hymen
That’s one vote Diligo and two votes each for Hymen, Orleans, Lupercalia and Magnolia.
The tenth vote and the name of your new tribe is
Orleans!!! Congrats to Lucas for his immunity win!
Rob places the necklace around the neck of Lucas. Ok, this means at Tribal Council tomorrow night, Lucas is immune from the vote. Everyone else is fair game and one of you WILL be going home. Thanks for all the time and effort ya’ll put into this challenge. You can head back to camp.
As they got up to leave everyone congratulated Lucas.
Annette and Gracie talked about the outcome when they got back to camp
Gracie: thankful Ryan didn't win immunity Gracie: *cheers* ANNETTE: You & me both - altho I'm not in love with the new tribe name. Gracie: yeah .. me either Gracie: it's not very valentiney ANNETTE: I wasn't able to talk to hardly anyone about coordinating our votes. Gracie: same here Gracie: most people weren't/aren't talking ANNETTE: Oh well - it all worked out in the end. Gracie: I ended up voting for Jenne's *giggle* ... 'cause I wanted to see Rob call us Tribe Hymen ANNETTE: I did too. Gracie: lmao! Gracie: Kelley and Ryan evidently talk a bit Gracie: and Kelley LIKES him! ANNETTE: *rolls eyes* Gracie: I know! ANNETTE: Good way to ostracize yourself, Kelley... make sure you're barely around, then befriend the one male the majority can't stand. Gracie: I know .. *sigh* Gracie: nothing like throwing herself in front of the next vote ANNETTE: Yep.

Annette shared her thoughts on the tribes new name
So we're tribe Orleans - which I'm not overly excited about... but as long as Ryan didn't win immunity, it's all good with me. It seems like the majority of the girls, and possibly some of the guys, will be voting for Ryan. I recently found out that Ryan and Kelley are close - smooth move Kelley. It's bad enough that you're never aound - but you admit to being close to someone that the majority of tribe wants to get rid of. I'm all for women but she's getting to be high on my boot list... her & Ellie who is, altho mega-sweet, almost always AWOL.
A very stunned Lucas spoke about his name winning
Truth be told I think the name Orleans sorta kinda sucks. I just wanted something a little bit intelligensia. If I can be frank or if you prefer, Lucas, I expected maybe one vote at most. When I got three I sat back and said well it must be Gracie, Jamie, and Annette. They knew my name. Maybe Jenne if she talked to them. So colour me surprised when I found out Ryan and Kyle voted for me. Oh the irony. Two people who will die at my hand voting their nemesis immunity. I wonder two things though. The first is if people will remember my initial win and hold this against me. Will this make me a threat? Will I be a vote magnet next tribal council? The second is what, exactly, will Ryan do. I have no doubt he planned to vote for me again if he could. I am his reason for being. I am now out of reach. All he can do is glare and yell at me. I predict he will kiss my ass. It's something I could enjoy. Sooner or later he was going to learn to kneel and call me master.
Rather unhappy with the outcome of the challenge, Ryan was grim faced as he said:
Well, as the game progress' I feel stupider and stupider. I now know that I shouldn't trust Kyle anymore than I trust Lucas. It's kinda convenient that all Lucas' tribe name got three votes... one was mine, the other kyle and three guess' tells me that the third was from taylor. Now you see normally I would think awesome congrats... but it just so happens that lucas won it. That means that Kyle and taylors big plan to just hide behind him after the merge has fallen through, and just verifies my suspicions that the three of them are real tight (as if i didn't know that already). This will most likely be my last confessional while still in the game, unless some miracle takes place. I'm gonna do my best to play it quiet but don't count me out yet I don't go down without a fight.
Meanwhile, Jenne and Lucas were rather happy with the turn of events
Jenne: i dont know how we did it but we managed to have the perfect merge group Jenne: couldnt have gone better Lucas: and we did even with losing Ashlee Lucas: very impressive Jenne: *pats mikey on the back* Lucas: I'm so proud of myself Lucas: because I didn't have the allies ready made like you Jenne: having ash and gracie at first helped a LOT Jenne: but i steared taylor to you which got you kyle for a while too Lucas: still got him Lucas: but i don't want him no more Jenne: i like that guy a lot, but strategically the boy has to go Lucas: Jamie wants him gone BAD Lucas: but I don't think we can sell him like Ryan Jenne: i know, she told me he is her nemesis Lucas: he outlasted her in another game Jenne: kyle goes to make jamie happy Jenne: ryan is my nemesis . i know how she feels Jenne: i dont want it to be nasty though. kyle deserves better than that Lucas: I'm going to be bitchy Lucas: because i like him and wanted him to be the last before our five Jenne: will jamie be ok voting a girl off before kyle? Lucas: she was fine with Kelley if Ryan was immune Lucas: I can sell it Lucas: gotta keep the boys in line Jenne: she knows my feelings Lucas: she will like that Jenne: the hardest part with jamie is gonna be keepin taylor over annette Jenne: at f5 or 6 Lucas: she won't have a choice Jenne: yah i know Lucas: we should all throw it so he's only competing with two people Jenne: oooh goood idea Jenne: brilliant! Lucas: and we just do what we can to boost his odds Jenne: between annette and steve which goes first? Lucas: steve. to keep Jamie in tow Jenne: yah makes sense Lucas: don't piss people off unless you have to Lucas: *cough* Ryan *cough*

Gracie and Kyle were seen in the bar sharing a big fruit drink
Gracie: who else would you want to vote? Kyle: maybe another girl....but that's just my paranoia cause the guys are outnumbered Gracie: well .. for what its worth .. I'd like to vote out Kelley next Kyle: yeah....she seems like the least favorite among the ladies Gracie: she's just never around it seems Kyle: yeah she is pretty scarce Kyle: ellie seems to be too Gracie: yeah ... Kyle: are you close with jamie? Gracie: not as much anymore Kyle: why.....do you think? Gracie: I'm not sure .. to be honest Gracie: she says she's in class a lot Kyle: ahh....been away a lot Gracie: yeah .. that's what she's been saying Gracie: but I wonder if she's made an f2 or something with someone Kyle: you never can tell in this game Kyle: i just hope we stay under wraps, you know? Gracie: yeah .. definitely Gracie: I'm not letting people know we're tight Kyle: good...me either
Gracie excused herself and left the bar. Still sitting there, Kyle saw Taylor enter and waved him over
Taylor: what's going on with the vote Kyle: i don't know....I asked Lucas and he said Ryan, but of course Lucas is going to scream ryan Kyle: i didn't want to go around asking everyone and seem paranoid Kyle: what do you think? Taylor: I've heard ryan Kyle: i just think it sucks cause Ryan is my friend....of course i'm going to do what's best for the 5....but no one will budge on the people i don't like Kyle: what's up with that? Taylor: no clue Taylor: they are all afraid of ryan Kyle: why? Taylor: no clue Taylor: well, they are a bit afraid that you could betray us if ryan is around, don't go running to them that I told you this because it could get us both in trouble Kyle: who is afraid of that? Kyle: probably lucas' idea? Taylor: little of everyone Kyle: i'm a little hurt that my friends are afraid i would betray them Kyle: now that puts me on the outcast side Taylor: Kyle Taylor: let me explain this to you abit Taylor: and I'm not trying to sound condesending Taylor: everyone besides ryan knows about graice,lucas,jenne Taylor: however everyone wants to vote off ryan first Taylor: we can wait, and make our move at the final seven, which is much safer, than making our move right now understood? Taylor: if that makes any sense Kyle: ok....so let me ask you this.....why does everyone know about gracie, jenne, and lucas? Kyle: they shouldn't yet Taylor: I knew you would ask this, I don't really know if "everyone else" does, but they will soon enough I'm sure Kyle: so then...we take out Ryan tomorrow Kyle: we should use Big steve and take out Jamie on thursday Taylor: why are you so afraid of jamie? Kyle: because she doesn't like me...and she knows how i play the game Kyle: let it be known....i am willing to sacrifice Ryan for the good of my group Kyle: so can someone just sacrifice someone that would set me at ease? that's all i ask Taylor: sure, but I don't know if we can get the votes. Taylor: but okay Kyle: and if you already knew all this....why did you ask me which way the vote was going? Taylor: well I haven’t been around this weekend Taylor: I thought I might have missed something Kyle: that kills me that any one of the 3 of them....well not so much lucas....but gracie and jenne would think i would betray them Taylor: they don't think you would betray them Taylor: I guess i worded that wrong Taylor: they are afraid ryan can "brain-wash" you Kyle: i'm not brainwashable....lol Kyle: if there's one thing i can't stand about people is inconsistency Taylor: i know what you mean Taylor: I hope I'm not being inconsistant? Kyle: no, you're not Kyle: how possible do you think it is that lucas/jenne/gracie will pick us off? Taylor: it won't be until down the line Taylor: but I think we are safe with them until know Taylor: Until* the final 5 Taylor: that's why we make the move at 7 Kyle: yeah Kyle: make which move? Taylor: well we use the two other people left and take lucas out Kyle: ok Kyle: that sounds like a plan Taylor: I mean, I think that's the easier option you know? Kyle: yeah totally Taylor: if we do something now it could set them off and get us booted Taylor: then, we hold the power, we are the swing votes Kyle: right Kyle: well i wasnt thinking get lucas off this early...that would be dumb Taylor: right

Day 24
Putting on his game face, Ryan sat down beside Kyle early the next morning before anyone else was awake
Ryan: i'm feeling a lot better about lucas now i'm so glad that you guys didn't vote with me Kyle: really?? Ryan: hes been so cool about the whole thing Ryan: yeah Ryan: i'm glad you guys were there with a different perspective on things Kyle: wow....what turned you around? Kyle: lol Ryan: he has just been real nice saying that me voting for him is water under the bridge and i don't know i think that rami talking to me about getting rid of him kind of blinded me Kyle: i'm just worried about the girls now Ryan: me too Ryan: i just hope that when i get voted out someone kinda gives me a hint that hey it might be you tonight Kyle: oh my gosh me too
Later that morning, Taylor went searching for Jenne.
Taylor: listen i don't want you to freak Taylor: but I had to promise kyle and I won't keep it Taylor: but in order to keep kyle with us voting wise, I had to tell him that if we vote with you three until the final 7 we can take you guys out, it won't happen and it will give me a good chance to get him out without him knowing I guess , but I don't want you to freak if he says something Jenne: kyle wants to turn against me? Taylor: we need to vote with you three until the final seven, and then we could try to vote out lucas Taylor: not you specifically, just lucas Jenne: well i knew kyle wanted to do that Jenne: he has been pretty open bout his attitude towards lucas Taylor: but I didn't want that getting back to tenz and him freakin Jenne: oh hell no Taylor: Well Tenz has been a bit of an ass to him Jenne: i edit what i tell him because he is too emotional and over reacts to stuff Taylor: I like tenzil, I'm just nervous that he will self destruct before we have the numbers Jenne: i know Jenne: only reason he is still here is cause of you and I Taylor: right Jenne: cause he blows his top Taylor: well if something back fires if I have to I will vote him off, I'm with him as long as he doesn't try to overact to shit Jenne: do you know the hardest thing for me in this game so far has been trying to keep that man calm and from doing something stupid? Taylor: what has he done so far Taylor: I feel like I'm int he dark so much Jenne: i love mikey but he already pissed me off some. i had to lie to cover up for a lie he told and that bothered me. cause i dont enjoy lying or toying with people. i dont do it for the sport of it. only when necessary. so yah i agree. he doesnt mess with our game or he is out of here Jenne: and i say that as his friend and someone who really cares about him Taylor: right I agree Jenne: mikey just got really emotional with the mitch thing Jenne: he was more pissed off than i was Taylor: I like mikey a lot Jenne: and i kept having to tell him not to blow his game over it Jenne: and he was pissed at kyle once he felt kyle wanted to vote him off. he went off on kyle fer sure, but i yelled at him to stop Jenne: but i think he can be wrangled and kept cool Taylor: okay good

After Ryan left, a few minutes later Jenne laid down beside Ellie
Ellie: Listen to what Ryan said to me before he left... “ellie I know you girls are voting for me tonight theres a leak just be weary of who you trust because some of the guys are working with your girls…lucas kyle taylor jenne and gracie i believe”<br>Jenne: he never stops Ellie: Yeah, it seemed like some random names. Jenne: i love gracie though! Ellie: Obviously the guys are together but I wouldn't expect you and Gracie to work with them. Jenne: i like those guys, but i like steve too Jenne: *shrugs* Ellie: Yeah. *sigh* I feel like I'm going to get screwed over in this game though. I can't see myself going far. Ellie: I think some of the guys will end up making it far. Jenne: well i am not opposed to using a few of them to widdle down the girls if we have to. ie KELLEY Ellie: lmao Ellie: Do you talk with Jamie much? Jenne: now and then. but its always just quick lil convos Jenne: then she leaves Ellie: I never really talk to her. She could easily vote me out. Jenne: over my dead body Jenne: seriously ellie, this game messes with our heads Jenne: if we can keep em on straight, we are ahead of the game Ellie: True, I try to push the feelings away but I read other episodes for games and think about my own experience in my bb game and it just makes me wonder... why does no one ever talk about alliances with me? Jenne: i try not to talk about alliances period Jenne: they make me break out in rashes Ellie: Lol, does anyone ever mention them to you? Like about others... such as "I think so and so has an alliance." Jenne: just the girls and then steve getting brought in Ellie: Ok. Yeah, I've kind of heard that too. That sounds good to me! Jenne excused herself and ran to find Kyle
Jenne: ryan gave up our entire alliance Jenne: we are screwed Kyle: to who? Kyle: what is this? Kyle: what's going on? Jenne: somehow ryan knew that you, taylor, lucas, me, and gracie were all alligned Jenne: he said there was a "leak" Jenne: that just really hurts Kyle: he thinks i can't stand lucas.....i never told him about you and gracie Jenne: he had to find out somehow. i am just so sad now. Kyle: so you think it's my fault? i voted for him! Jenne: i'm not blaiming anyone Jenne: it just sux. because we had a good thing Jenne: but now if people know...blegh Kyle: so how can we keep these stinkin idiots that get voted off from giving their last ditch effort Kyle: it sucks! Jenne: i know. i think i convinced ellie it wasnt true though. so maybe damage control will work Jenne: and we will be fine Jenne: trying to stay postive Kyle: i'm afraid you don't trust me anymore Jenne: i am just shaken kyle. that threw me Jenne: i didnt think anyone would fine out. but ryan could have figured it out on his own Kyle: not anymore than it did me Kyle: that makes me sooo mad Jenne: i'm not losing faith in us. we need to stay solid Kyle: i'm just trying to find some peace of mind Kyle: i don't think you trust me anymore Jenne: kyle dont say that Jenne: they only way we are going to recover from this is if we stay strong Jenne: if we fall apart...its over Kyle: well once we get past one vote we will be strong Jenne: i want the next Immun now! only way im gonna feel safe Kyle: you and me both Jenne: i wish this drama didnt happen Jenne: you havn't been playing me right? Kyle: jenne no Kyle: absolutely not Jenne: i believe you Kyle: you and taylor are my absolute favorite people in this game Jenne: we are fine. just wanted to hear you say that
