Dear Confessional,
Thankfully Russell, OUR Russell did not get voted off this tribal council. He had two votes but thankfully the ones we made versus Shannon counted and she left instead. It was a close call but yeah, I think we're in a good spot right now. We definitely need to win more challenges though to have some numbers when going into merge.
Here's a conversation I had with Dave:
----------
Me: Good for you winning immunity. It must have been all the ladies you sly dog.
Haha in any case congrats. Any thoughts on the vote? Like... got any suggestions on who I should vote for? Any help or ideas would be awesome.
Dave: LOL! We sent each othe PMs at the same time! Thanks, I totally wasn't expecting to win immunity! I haven't talked to any of them yet! :)
Anyways, I was leaning towards voting Russell since he almost went at the last Tribal Council anyway. you?
Me: Hm, I'm not really sure. Russell had a good reason why he couldn't be here last IC so I really want to cut him some slack ya know. He could probably be an active tribe mate. I think we should keep him this TC but if he is inactive in the next one, we cut him, ya know? :) I 'really' want to make sure we keep good tribe members in the game with us.
Dave: Hm, I guess I get what you mean. It's just he was never that active beforehand anyway. And is he having problems again? Because he is the last tribemate of ours to log on in the past 24 hours. And I don't know who else I would vote out. No one else has really messed up yet. Do you have any thoughts?
Me: Hm, I guess the only other two considerable options are Monica and Shannon since they each have been receiving unknown votes -I always went with the majority aka Brett and Kelly-. Any thoughts on them? :)
Dave: I've been noticing the Monica votes too, and I've been wondering where they've been coming from. But I don't think she deserves to go just yet. She has been pulling her weight in the challenges. Shannon isn't the best in the challenges, but she hasn't really held us behind or anything. The only reason I would vote for her is because she self-voted once.
Me: It's a tough decision. I think us and Yasmin have been workin especially hard. I've always tried to make sure I pull my weight, you've had a few votes both TCs and Yasmin has pretty much been the leader.
----------
As you can see I was trying to save Russ however I could without exposing my alliance with him and John. Hopefully I didn't and Dave just is keeping quiet about it... heh, definitely he has to go next TC if I can do it, I have to try before merge. I don't 100% trust him.
I am trying to get in good with some of the opposing tribe members, Natalie for one. I think I can definitely get her on my side come merge time. As you can see I am trying to carefully plan this all out so I have allies and I can 1. Get to the finals and 2. Not have too much blood on my hands.
Russ definitely wanted to get rid of Laura, I could tell. He even got Monica to vote Laura... oh by the way, someone still mysteriously voted for Monica. I seriously wonder who it is. ANYWAYS yeah, hopefully we win the next Immunity Challenge so we don't even have to worry about who to vote out next.

Yeah, I definitely agree on needing to get rid of Dave ASAP.
For this round though, I think maybe going after Laura would be a smart move. Look at the vote counts for all of our options from the past 2 Tribal Councils:
Laura - 0
Monica - 2
Shannon - 2
Yasmin - 1
So obviously that means Laura's doing something if she's not recieving any votes.. because if you look at the vote count from the last 2 Tribal Councils, it's all over the place.
So maybe getting rid of Laura would be our best option? But I'm still not sure.. what are your thought?
