Can't wait to type all this same stuff in a text confessional in like an hour!

Text confessional to avoid a strike! (Also some new info in here lmao)

So we found out we won the challenge, but Olivia prevoted for Angelica (unless I'm really being snowed), and Angelica was freaked out by it. Makes sense, since she hadn't been let in on a plan, but I think it may have exposed that she's likely the easy vote if we do lose. For now, I want to keep my relationship with Angelica intact, because it's very possible that we could leave this tribe without voting again.

I'll play along with whatever plan Angelica comes up with, but if we lose again, it's most likely going to be her who goes. I think, at this point, I may not need another boot lined up on this tribe after her, since it feels like merge or another swap is coming soon.

That being said, I think if it did get down to me, Nikki, Olivia, and Willow, I would have a lot more influence than I originally thought. Willow and I have continued to build a strategic relationship, and Olivia wants to call me tonight, presumably to set up long-term plans. My alliance with Nikki is strong as ever, and on our next call, I plan to tell her that I think she could be an early merge target due to her challenge performances thus far. I think showing her that I have an interest in keeping her safe at the merge will only solidify our alliance.

So, if this tribe loses again after a (hopefully easy) Angelica boot, I could ultimately have the final say in what happens. I don't know what I would want to happen, but as long as I'm the one with the power, that's all I need. I can make that decision at the time with the information I'll have then.

Things are looking pretty good for me, and I hope they continue to. As long as I remain vigilant and reasonably paranoid, I should be able to sniff out any plots against me. Right now, I don't smell any, which means either I'm safe or I have corona.

I don't think I have corona.
