All I have to say is Koror 2.0 was initially kind of a downgrade. That first night call was SUPER awkward. Like I'm trying to imagine the Maraamu and Aparri tribe dynamics, and just like Gabriella Montez having people staring at her, I really can't.
However, I am 100% on the top of the power structure with this particular tribe, and that spot definitely belonged to Olivia on 1.0. I have some room to move here, and I think that all three of us have someone we feel like we can "woo over". I think Niki feels closer to Robbie than anyone else, Jordan to Chris, and hopefully Jess to me. Here is what Chris, Robbie, and I are being told:
Old Maraamu, (from Niki)- the vote was going to be Genki or Willow, and I obviously don't love the idea of Genki going yet. I'm a little bit wary of Niki, who recognized me from Sequester. As a person, I really like her. I think we would be really good friends. Perhaps more so than anyone else actually. She's initially who I would want to work with, and if we were on a starting tribe together, I would have aligned with her quickly. However, I am getting very strong inclinations that her interests do not align with mine. Although I don't know that she realizes I've picked up on that.
Old Aparri, they bought purple bandannas, apparently as a sign of tribal unity when they return to the merge. If you ask me, that tells me Aparri was filled with a bunch of scared players who needed some physical sign of assurance that they were truly going to stay tribe strong. If they're scared, they'll flip or they'll cave. According to Chris, Jordan was not that tight with Sam. To some extent I believe that, but I have a hard time thinking that either one of them would flip. Aparri really got Swap Screwed (ooh ooh ooh) more than any other tribe, because Maraamu and Korror at least have the majority on a single tribe. If we wanted, we could decimate Aparri 1.0. Actually, in some ways, it would bring me great pleasure to do so. (Evil laugh muahaha.)
Truthfully I do not think that anyone on our tribe has an idol. After realizing how fast ours was found, I do not get the impression that these players are super-hunters, although I could very well be wrong, as I was about how quickly the idol was found on my own tribe. I think that's one reason I feel like I have my wits about me in this game- I've made it a habit that in my own personal life I try to go into any conversation, debate, or scenario, thinking I could be wrong. And right now, the only thing that could take one of us Koror 1.0 out is an idol, so we have to consider it. Or if Niki goes to rocks.
The plan right now if we do indeed go to tribal, (which honestly we might because I am not confident in our Friends video no matter how much I say it in the tribe chat. It's WAYYYY better after the editing, (thank goodness for Robbie) but Chris and I put on the best acting performances. CHRIS AND I. That's pretty bad if you ask me,) we vote out Niki. I think we all collectively like her the best out of the other three, but we honestly don't feel super attached to any of them. Getting Niki to throw her vote, on an Aparri, while we all vote for her is definitely the best plan. We make her feel safe enough that we want her to vote with us. We say over and over again that the vote is Sam. Sam and Jordan hopefully get freaked and play any idols they might have, and Nikki feels safe enough to not play an idol she might have. Niki goes home, and we have "spared" Jordan and Sam. If for some reason Niki votes with them anyway, and they force a tie, We can hopefully convince Jordan or Sam to be our fourth, especially if they are not loyal to each other.
One more thing, because I think some of my org idealists would be disappointed in me for suggesting we throw the challenge last round. Look- I would never throw a challenge in any real-life situation. There is literally no scenario, and I'd be lying if I said my conscious didn't hurt a little bit for blowing a comp. But I have to consider that managing threat level is more important than winning a challenge, and to go against my very nature is perhaps the most "all out" thing that I could possibly do. And the more that the cards fall, the more that I believe it was the right decision. Unlike other tribes, WE were unified going into the last tribal, because the person we voted out is actually gone. Maraamu and Aparri both have people still in the game who were very clearly still on the bottom. We don't. We also don't have someone who is going to out our secrets. And while thanks to Robbie, I do know that Bridget is a little wary of me, I think I will still be one of her best options if we ever do get reunited.
Much love and blessings to y'all VL,
MG
