Rodney Survives Tribal Council! Alex Exterminated


Yesterday, yo, was the most emotional day of survivor of my life, and it was even up there in emotion with my most emotional days in real life lol. I am freaking drained right now. I plan to spend the next 48 hours of this challenge stepping away because god damn, you people are too much for me. There is so much to talk about i don't know how to cover it all. Be sure to check out my book 'Rodney goes to Therapy' hitting shelves summer 2016 because all you're getting here is the cliffnotes.

I'll pick up where I left off which was two nights ago. Andrea just won immunity which was absolutely perfect for my plan. The Sexbang Gang was chatting but Courtney wasn't online. It was me in there with just Alex and Colby. I didn't have Erik around to bounce ideas off of and Courtney was the most important piece for my plan. I couldn't initiate it without her there so I was pretty much just stalling and ad-libbing and it could NOT have gone any better than it did. It was fucking seamless. I had alex and colby crapping their pants. the goal was to get them the feeling that brain votes were coming and they needed to play Courtney's idol. Alex actually came to me and told me Courtney has it. I already knew this information but the fact that he was willing to provide it to me meant I had him. Alex's ego alone almost executed the plan FOR ME in it's entirety. Alex offered to talk to Courtney about playing the idol and he wanted to use his 'connections' with Erik to help swing the brain vote onto Courtney. The night before I was fucking set like the dinner table. Everything was where it needed to be. Then Courtney shows up.

Courtney apparently ain't your average bear because Alex told her the plan, she immediately came to grill me for a approximately 10 minutes on high in a police style questioning filled with sasiness levels I've never seen from her such as "So let me get this straight, you're plan is to...." and lots and lots of "mmmmkay.."s. It felt like that scene in The Dark Knight where the dude is trying to blackmail batman for his identity and Morgan Freeman will have none of it.



Courtney said she would 'marinate' on the plan and needless to say I never heard back from her. What I did hear was from Andrea telling me a chat was being created against me but then came a break from your regularly scheduled programming. Somewhere in the questioning I mentioned Andrea had the double vote. OOOPS! Not a good move because that got back to Andrea in 0.25 seconds and She wasn't happy. So now one of my #1 Allies is over here grilling me, Courtney is quickly assembling my death machine and I'm like fuck all of this I'm done. Me and Andrea fought like a married couple for literally 2 hours. It had nothing to do with the game. We were fighting about broken trust and friendship and shit and it was insane. I was so emotionally drained by the time we settled things I really didn't even want to fight for my life in the game anymore. I knew for a fact Courtney had pulled Erik and Natalie in against me and I really didn't care. I just wanted out at this point because it wasn't worth it. Andrea was talking about wanting me to just vote her out and it was so upsetting that she lost what she had in the game that I did too. I don't know what happened but something did and we got some modicum of trust back somewhere in that 30 page argument and she helped me get the confidence back to keep playing, to feel like I had a chance. She assured me Courtney didn't have the votes when I thought for sure she did. That is all it took. I messaged each one of my allies and told them to hold the vote, Courtney is a liar, we still have the numbers on her, nobody flipped. Erik said he never would but I really really think he was preparing to and he would have if Andrea and I hadn't pushed back at the end. I can't prove it but I really think Andrea was my guardian angel that round. I completely realize how lucky I am to be here right now, maybe that will finally humble me in this game. I need to start taking my own advice and step to the back of the room because I am the boldest pilot out here and everyone is gonna be gunning for me.

Aftermath

After the vote it was clear Courtney was completely shocked. She thought it was such a lock that she was begging Julie to close the voting early. I boasted publicly but privately Courtney and I agreed on a mutual respect for each other's games, had a laugh like old simpler times, and returned to our corners getting ready for the next heated round. Colby, on the other hand was completely in the dark. After the vote he came running to me apologizing up and down. He felt so bad he broke our trust. I couldn't leave him to inevitably figure it out on his own, So I told him it was the other way around, I fucked him. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd so began the second half of my emotional day. I won't go into details because Colby wouldn't like that but he was very very upset on a real life level that everything we had together was a lie. I tried to explain to him that while my game was fake, I was not and i really did care when it came to becoming friends and having fun together, and Colby, if you are reading this, I really did mean that, but he would have none of it. For the next 3 hours Colby chewed my ass out. It was clear he lost a friend over this and I genuinely still feel terrible about it. I tried everything, not to repair our game, that is broken forever, but to repair our friendship. He isn't interested. He wants to be voted out now.


So in the past 18 hours, 3 people wanted to quit, I had huge pivotal fights with two great friends, one ending in a stronger bond and the other just ending, and I got to be a part of one of the most epic tribal councils of my life. As long as the Final 6 alliance stays together until.... the final 6. I should have a seat reserved in FTC. This game is fucking nuts, yo.

[Rodney]

Starting to wonder if I'm capable of talking anything but game with Erik. We can't hold a conversation that isn't game related. Kinda awkward considering our positions but whatever lol

Phase 3: Disappear
When I get to the final merge I'm gonna disappear faster than Eddie Murphy on Father's Day. All I want here is to not be a threat. While your enemy's are eating each other, sit back and pass the salt.



Trying to keep a low profile has been... challenging.. for me so if I completely disregard my own advise and become Don Corleone by day 3 don't judge me.

Uuuuhhg. I listened to me all the way up until phase 3. Never could do phase 3. If you knew me you saw this coming. Just call me the Godfather

[Rodney]

Another milestone, This is my first ever endurance challenge I have survived to be a part of. I will celebrate by not participating at all. I can't be bothered. Courtney, Mike, Angie, and Colbstomp can post all day and night to fight for their lives like ants trying to save a flooding mound of dirt but I don't need to waste my time. I have earned immunity another way, through teabagging this game in the face.

I hope Courtney wastes 8 hours of her life on this stupid thing.
"You see, this world has two kinds of people, my friend. Those with Loaded guns, and those who dig....





.... You dig."

[Rodney]

Courtney has been going so long she now has more posts on this board than Julie. Funny she was safe anyway because we don't have the numbers to split the vote yet. Hope you're enjoying your wasted afternoon, Pinhead

[Rodney]

Erik's tribal talk is the most ominous thing since the bride's maids incident. Almost sounds like he's talking directly about me. I would take a #blindside as an honor at this point in the game but I hope this hasn't run it's course just yet.

[Rodney]

Well I had a good run. Someone obviously flipped for them to have known we were voting Angie. I could call it a fluke but I'm the one who made myself a target with an idol in the game. Brains aren't going to rocks for me. I wouldn't expect them to.

[Rodney]

The great thing about scrambling now is that I have absolutely nothing to lose. Andrea saved my ass again somehow. Mike is supposedly willing to flip to avoid rocks. We guaranteed his safety and formed an alliance with him with andrea and Natalie. I also told Erik most of what I did (except the alliance part) as a failsafe. If it gets back to erik from the brawns then Mike was lieing. Only reason he would have to is to turn the brains on me to avoid rocks so if erik doesn't hear about it we're golden. No way he would bluff to reassure rocks. This just might work

[Rodney]

A flawless plan but poorly executed, Courtney. You done fucked up now. My last stand be a stand of a General Custer. I can't tell you how this is gonna go but she left me with a chance and I'm doing everything in my power to make her regret it.

#teamRodney bitches. Let's go

[Rodney]

Shirin voted out on revote. Rodney survives again

[Rodney]

Hunger Games Challenge just ended


Andrea,
Wtf was that?
 telling us to keep Dida  the whole game (Courtney's)?
shooting Erik's Mario?
Losing Connection  on proboards but not AIM when it came time to take out Courtney's last man and win it for the alliance?
You made Erik do it so you could win.

What


the fuck?




And you wonder why we have trust issues. Starting to get really nervous about her idol

[Rodney]

Andrea is playing both sides. She has so much power. For the first time in this game I feel completely powerless. Only thing we can do is vote Angie like she wants and hope she doesn't go rogue yet. I love her but she's starting to put my game in jeopardy and I can't have that.

Courtney should be gone here. I can't believe we're doing this ring around the rosey bullshit

[Rodney]

We had a chat going with the 6 of us (me, erik, andrea, nat, ciera, and mike) to ensure we weren't taking out each other's people in the hunger games challenge. As the challenge went on people started getting eliminated and Courtney was still there. Andrea kept telling us she thought Dida was hers. It got to the point where I told them to kill my last one because it could be one of 2 people and the other one was probably Courtney's. So it comes down to Erik, Andrea, and Courtney. Me and Erik are very suspicious at this point as to how Courtney is still around (not to mention Andrea had already shot one of Erik's people at the point 'by accident.') All someone has to do is shoot Dida and we win and here is the terrible lie and the Erik sassyness that ensued that very well may have changed the whole game over a pointless immunity.



So there you have it. Andrea was being shady as shit and Erik called her out and now our alliance might be broken. I'm doing damage control and playing both sides to ensure myself safety how ever this inevitable split plays out but I wish they could just play nice for now, it's the only path that works for me.
