Hey! I just kind of wanted to catch you guys up on last night, because it was a quick one.
The challenge was a quick Q&A where you had to answer questions about each other. It was a tight race between Eric and Sassy, with Cody in a close 3rd, which is so ironic considering those were the 3 main people on the chopping block. Classic Survivor! Eric did come out on top with immunity.
So we went into TC. Right before TC, I get this IM from Chris:
[1/26/14 10:04:28 PM] Chris Barkley: Kirin
[1/26/14 10:04:29 PM] Chris Barkley: :X
[1/26/14 10:04:31 PM] Chris Barkley: They are swapping it to Billy
[1/26/14 10:04:35 PM] Chris Barkley: instead of sassy
[1/26/14 10:04:40 PM] Chris Barkley: because we aren't 100% sure dylan had the favorite idol
[1/26/14 10:04:44 PM] Chris Barkley: and billy feels secure enough
[1/26/14 10:04:52 PM] Chris Barkley: where i doubt he would use an idol, because he knows about sassy going
[1/26/14 10:04:58 PM] Chris Barkley: and thinks cody/me r going to work with him after tonight
[1/26/14 10:05:00 PM] Chris Barkley: I'm about to cry
I was honestly shocked!!! I knew Billy was in hot water tonight, but I didn't think they would sacrifice him over Sassy. But when I thought about it, it made sense. I thought they wouldn't switch it because Chris has such a good relationship with Billy, but it actually turns out that that's WHY they switched it...They didn't want Chris and Cody cutting side deals with Billy, so they decided to vote him out now instead. From my understanding, it seems like Robbie was the one who actually initiated this, but like Chris said in that message, it was because of the idol paranoia. But I think the reason Eric and Nicole jumped on board so quickly was because of their concern about Billy/Chris/Cody.
During the voting time, when Sandy called on Eric to go vote, Eric purposely decided to instead of IM me his vote, he IMed Sami saying "Sami" as a plot to freak her out, make her paranoid and flush her idol. It definitely was a long shot lol, and I think it did freak her out, but luckily not enough for her to waste her idol.
Anyways, a few other notes as I catch up on confessionals this morning:

Anyways, a few other notes as I catch up on confessionals this morning:
- Speaking of idol paranoia, can we talk about how good Nicole has been about keeping her idol a secret?! Heck, Sassy and Craig thought that KELMAN might have had it lmao. Nicole has honestly reminded me of Tyson in how good she's been able to cover up having the idol, which is funny because Tyson is one of Dylan Rogers's favorite players of all time lol. But I cannot wait to see the looks on people's faces when they see Nicole had it all along!!!
- Aaron told Sami moments before the vote that she should save her idol because they had switched the vote to Billy, but she had to promise not to say anything. In my opinion, brilliant move on Aaron's part. He sided with his old tribe, but he was still honest with Sami, thus maintaining the fact that he has a good relationship with everyone in the game. This is also probably the reason that Sami didn't waste her idol after Eric's little "slip-up." I've said a couple times now that Aaron is such an underrated player that's playing silently, but is ready to make probably the biggest move in this game.
- Daniel seems to want to stick with the original plan, which I don't blame him for. His has a good relationship with Eric, Aaron, Robbie and Chris so he'd be sitting in a pretty decent position if he made final 7.
- On his way out, Billy told Eric that Cody/Chris wanted him out. Eric loses yet even more trust in his former original Chikara boys.
- Jeffrey has almost no target on him whatsoever lol.
