Of course...the one thing, the ONE THING that I needed to happen, and statistically, odds on shouldn't have happened, just HAS to happen. And since Neda's likely to win, well...ugh...damn that lady luck.
Not game related, and I'll get a DR up tomorrow, but Survivor was actually kind of hilarious tonight. Not just because of that ridiculous lie, but that John Rocker, who should've known better than anyone it was bullshit, completely bought it and might have fucked himself!
After what Wil just pulled post-Veto Competition, and all of the fallout from it, I'm thinking maybe, just MAYBE I dodged shooting myself in the foot big time. It's crazy, but in a strange way, I feel like the round being as long as it was might have jerked me back to reality and out of "Blindside, motherfuckers! Nobody's gonna see this coming!" mode. The situation playing out like it has, showed Wil's true colours and actually managed to create a situation where the house seems united against him and there's another round to hide the Hellions/X-Force/Kids Next Door/Quad-City-DJs(don't ask)/whatever the hell other joke nickname might come along's existence.
Plus, as things go along, I'm starting to think Neda might actually want to work with me and semi-have my back. And when things go to hell, I'm going to need that. I actually kind of feel that with how I've been, I have some sort of connection thing going on with just about everybody except for Wil and Sofia, so thinking on it, going all crazy just to try and get a blindside going would make me more reliant on the others in my alliance, get more people mad (possibly directly at me), and keep someone else around that could possibly put me up in the future. Not that I'm going to tell him, but it was kind of funny to hear Wil talk about this big alliance thing, and then pull me aside and tell me "go with Luke, he has nobody and you'll need someone".
On one hand, looking at things down the line, it might actually be potentially better if I don't win HOH, but on the other hand I want to though so that I can at least have some control and sway in terms of what's going on. Since there's going to be 9 people left after this round, it's only a matter of time before things go completely to hell and the group's going to start imploding on itself. I may not like it, and it sucks to even talk about the possibility of it happening, but it's usually what goes on. Hell, if I was forced to guess, I'd say it'll start at Final 7 (Final 8 if one of 'the wrong people' win HOH), and I need to try and keep as many connections built up and active as possible so that I don't get put up or evicted. Plus, well...I might need to have enough sway to be able to get people to do things if the situation gets ugly. I've gotta keep remembering, it's about what works best, not what's the most stylish and flashy.
I'll make a new thread for my next DRs, but apparently my name is now "JURY" (not to be confused with Juri), and there's 8 people in the game. Damn, Solid Snake's got nothing on these stealth skills.
