Episode 6 - Brady’s coming out

[michael]

I’m on my phone and we just had our “tribal” so this won’t be much but kaitlyn told me everything that was going down. I was toasttttt if we lost. Fuck!

I’m so pissed but at the same time...this is the game! Michael isn’t playing anymore. They’re about to get Brady. And Brady isn’t fun to play with.

I'm typing this confessional 10 minutes after that endurance challenge. My shoulders are on absolute fucking FIRE right now. I couldn't even pick up my water bottle LOL. No water for me I guess. I left EVERYTHING on the field tonight, if we lose this challenge and I go home at least I know I fought my ass off. My arms just gave out on me and I can live with that. I'm in a terrible spot on this tribe right now and it's very frustrating to say the least. It's become clear to me that Trey and Bridget have been brainwashed by someone on their original tribe to make me out to be this terrible person who they need to get rid of.


I wonder who!!! It's always fun when someone gets super butt hurt over an alias game where we don't know who the players are...so they decide to taint an entire tribe of people against you! (I'm talking about Robbie but you probably know that. It's also possible this is Chris's doing. One or both of them and I'm determined to find out who). Enough complaining about my circumstances, I didn't come here to shy away from adversity. I have Kaitlyn with me on this tribe who I know will do anything to help me survive. She's truly a great ally and player in this game and I just don't want to drag her game down with me if I turn into a sinking ship. But at the same time, I came here on a mission to win and I will do anything it takes to survive round by round and just focus on getting one step further. Kaitlyn is officially my #1 in this game...sorry Kyle  



So with that said...how will I survive if we do have a tribal? I have a plan in place but it's a long shot to say the least. I think it's been critical on this tribe to make people believe that Kaitlyn and I are not close with each other and I believe we've successfully done that....at least up to this point (hopefully). By not appearing close, I'm getting information from Kaitlyn that I would've never heard on this tribe if they didn't think they could turn her against me. Rob and Genki have made a final 3 chat with me LOL. I don't know if they for sure were voting me out last round...it is possible they were doing Bridget..but based on what they are saying to Kaitlyn it's become obvious they don't trust me at all. Rob has been trying to hint to Kaitlyn that he's fine voting me out, and it took Genki 28 hours to let me know my name was out last round...and he didn't even tell me the full story (lied about who else know). Rob hasn't told me at all.


I have been ghosting both Trey and Bridget since Tribal. I want them to be as nervous and paranoid as humanly possible before I make my move. I want them to think I feel completely safe and don't even need to bother talking to them....this is called false confidence and the goal that by me not seeming desperate they will feel more vulnerable. About 1-2 hours before tribal I plan on messaging Trey and Bridgette individually and asking if they can call (making it seem like a 1 on 1). Once they're both ready, I will surprise them with a group call and the first thing I will ask them is was I the vote? I plan on being very confrontational in this call and essentially blowing everything up on this tribe. I will tell them about the 4 person alliance (me/rob/genki/kaitlyn), I will tell them about the final 3 (me/rob/genki) and I will tell them about them all talking shit about Bridget and telling me to vote her last round. I also want to straight up all the BS on Robbie or Chris talking shit about me and going to be pretty pissed about them not forming their own opinions on me instead of just writing me off. The goal is to turn this entire thing on Rob/Genki...but I also want them to believe that I don't trust Kaitlyn at all so I'm going to include her in that group so they don't realize we're close. I want to create as much chaos as humanly possible as close to tribal council because when there's chaos...anything can happen. 

This could obviously backfire, especially if Trey/Bridget tell Genki/Rob about this plan. My hope is that if this happens...Rob will tell Kaitlyn so I will at least know and can try one last hail mary at Tribal. I'm not going down quiet. If Rob and Genki are actually with me then well....that kinda sucks but at the same time I'd rather go down swinging than just trusting these two guys who have been talking shit about me and keeping the fact that my name was being thrown out as the vote and going home 4-2. I will fight. I will do whatever I can to survive and get my ass to that Merge. I hope this works, I'm not very optimistic and I realize that my best shot is us just winning immunities every round. 

No matter what happens, I'm very thankful for this experience. It's brought a lot of fun, laughs, and joy the last couple weeks and I've met some pretty dope people. I'm not going to give up, EVER. I signed up to play Survivor and now it's time to go to work. Tomorrow will be nuts, I'm excited
