My plan for Majority Rules (Round 11?)

[imfeelinrusty]

Usually, when it comes to majority rules, whoever is the answer to questions like, "Who is in the best position to win this game?" gets targeted for the vote. I'm thinking that I will be the answers to those types of questions. So I need to make sure that I win immunity for this challenge. I need to make sure that I'm not on the upper half of anyone's chopping lists. Now, as of right now, I'm not sure if I can talk about chopping orders with anyone, so I haven't. But if so, I'm going to try and make sure that I'm on the bottom of almost everyone's boot orders.

I think I can survive the next vote. The brains still need my vote with Andrea's doubler and the nullifier still in play (Courtney said that Angie gave her the nullifier). And this can seriously complicate plans.

I'm thinking that Andrea is still trying to own the middle ground. If I'm the answer to the Best Position questions and shit, she would probably target me with her double vote advantage. If that's the case, I would need to rely on Courtney's word, and I don't know how stable that is.

This next round will probably be make or break. I am entirely certain that Andrea will try to make a move this round with her doubler and trying to play the middle. So that means that I have to find a way to make Colby quit to postpone a tribal or give the other side less numbers, or I'll need to win this immunity challenge. I'm in such a great position right now, and I would hate to be fucked over by Andrea on the round that matters most.

Final 8 is a bad bad round   Good luck man. Hope everything goes well.

Hey, I did it! Sweet. Like I said, I don't know if I needed it, but it's nice to have.

So Rodney's plans were to let Colby be the target with everyone, then having the brains and possibly Andrea/Mike vote Courtney so that the nullifier doesn't leave her hands and she's voted out with it. Cool. It would be something that I can use as a legitimate excuse on our exit conversation, and I think she would understand.

But then Rodney apparently goes and tells Colby that Colby needs to vote for Courtney to save himself. Which, I don't know why he's done things like this in the past, like with Angie and calling her a goat and shit, but like... why would he tell Colby that? You know he's just going to tell Courtney right away...

As I'm writing it down, I'm thinking that Courtney made up a lie as to how she thought the vote would go. If she did, props to her. That's a super smart move on her part.

But Courtney tells me that, so I figured the jig was up anyways. I tell her that Rod is gunning for her and that we were supposed to keep it quiet so that the nullifier doesn't get flipped around. Apparently, telling her closest ally how the votes were going didn't cross his mind? What the fuck, Rod. Ehh, whatevs.

I tell her that I'm voting for her as of now, and that I don't think that will change unless I can do it without nuking my game. I don't think that there is a way for me to do that. But I said that her best option to stay is to plead to Andrea. That's basically her only option. I told her not to use my name so that she gets more credit as a player and a detective, and my hands stay out of it and remain relatively clean.

I'm thinking that long term, things could go both ways. I could try to vote off Rodney to show that I do have a lot of control, but that has to be meticulously planned. If anyone leaked word back to Rodney, then I am completely fucked and he would go after me. That risk does have a decent pay off, but I'd rather let someone else do the work for me, jump on board, and then plant a bomb on the ship upon my exit. Plus, I think I have a decent case against Rodney. He played really aggressively and made a few moves, but I always had options, people trusted me, I made legit connections, and I didn't need to make moves when I had people who would basically do all of the work for me. I would just fine tune their ideas to spin it more my way.
