Olivia’s Ponderosa

i’ll be posting my thoughts here for the rest of the game! kinda excited bc i’ve never gotten to be early jury before. i’m gonna have fun in ponderosa and still give you content on my crazy thoughts bc i have nothing else to do.

[olivia]

do i think i will see a koror next? yes. do i really hope i don't? yes. if they are able to pull something off i'd be so happy. i think maybe they could vote genki? maybe angelica and genki decide that now they want to blindside kyle? idk. i'm literally so confused. like again - voting me off at 12 i just don't get. 11 i get. 10 i get. 12??? not that i care about placement, you either win or you don't. just this timing seemed like blood-thirst for a big move and not actually logical. maybe i'm delusional. i feel like they wanted to vote kyle last time (may have been lying and baiting me w that one too) and i said i didn't want to. so if i see him next - a sweet i told you so. i really have no idea what to expect though. maybe chris? idk i need company man. ponderosa lonely af.

really got my hopes up there with a kyle boot. 

molly voted out - smells like only good for aparri. genki burns an idol. okay, so let me get this straight, you flipped on me and voted me out, only to not trust the people you are voting with now to play an idol on yourself to negate one vote? and vote out someone who you had a pregame connection with and genuinely wanted to work with you? mmmkay got it. want to know how much michael brady brainwashed this kid. voting out 2 korors in a row - absolute TOMFOOLERY. 

angelica - hope you realize how much of a mistake it was to side w aparri now - bc you're on the bottom hunny. and even if nikki can cover for you, you think anyone is gonna give you the game for relying on nikki's connections? ya no. 

totally at peace with my vote out - some of it maybe ya was my fault, but certainly timing wise made ZERO FUCKING SENSE to those who had full power to prevent it. 

excited to see how this plays out. all i have to say is - MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. 

praying for robbie chris to pull some shit. hope trey knows that if he wants to win he can't just go crawl over to MB to join his army of numskulls. please do something yellow boys. please. or please angelica genki willow see the light on how absolutely silly it will be for you to vote w purple another round. 

sorry for being mean. hope i will be able to eat my words later, but i'm worried.

okay i am so happy about these boots. pretty much justifies what i thought- angelica and/or nikki taking me not wanting to tell them the name super wrong, and then that spiraling into me being the vote- but, as i thought, that would leave them on the wrong side of the numbers soon, or at least in a spot where they wouldn’t have much pull to control the numbers. so nikki and genki get booted, koror boys worked magic as i had hoped, robbie still has his idol. 

angelica being left out of votes now- big shock. :-)

willow having no agency- no surprise. but sure she will become a critical swing vote. i think that angelica is less likely to be because she is more of a loose cannon

mb and kaitlyn- in a great spot right now. if they can protect kyle and willow they can get majority or at least 4 votes going into 8/7. plus they have been voting w trey chris robbie, who need them.

trey - really not sure where he is gonna go. can see him flipping, but think robbie has really put in work w him. if anything probably trying to maintain the mb relationship, but im sure mb will not let kaitlyn kyle go.

chris - can see him maybe going soon. trey robbie dont have to much incentive to keep him since he will sell out anyone and everyone to save his own skin at this point, probably trying to weasel into michael kyle’s plans, really anything and everything. q is will people take advantage of this or think he’s too sketch. also robbie cant just let him go and he cant (or shouldnt) just let robbie go. 

robbie - these are probably the right boots for him but he needs to be on his toes, idol playing in amazing strategic fashion, or really selling an end game to these ppl. worried about mb snaking him.

kyle - i think there is def deep game potential. apparently out of the last couple votes seemingly, but tbh feeling like he knows what is going on and is being looped in. maybe im giving him too much credit. but either way, if he has an idol, and/or kaitlyn mb trying to keep the vote off him he has a shot. q is will he get axed for likability. cause honestly kyle would maybe win a jury vote in a landslide. like if the goal was to come to a unanimous consensus for a winner- everybody would be happy w kyle probably. which a lot of ppl recognize- issue.

[olivia]

no big move this round- good and interesting. feeling like mb and kaitlyn bout to potentially flip to kyle and angelica- but idk man. think by now it’s pretty public that robbie and mb have the idols- so like clear ticket to F5 if some shit isnt pulled rn. thinks back to a plan where we could have potentially flushed mb’s idol..... thinks ab the ppl who threw their game in the trash that could have done it and be mad at me later...

but yeah i gots no clue what is gonna happen. really depends who has been putting in the work w angelica or kyle- or are they just gonna easy vote angelica/kyle off again? personally no sweat of anyone’s back if mb does make f5 bc he is the boot there. mb probably needs to keep everyone other than kyle angelica to have a chance of saying he isnt the biggest threat. like actually making a move maybe makes things worse for him. very intrigued honestly.

angelicas game- dont care to say anything. played this merge terribly. it was gonna be hard for her regardless, but she 100% should not have gotten rid of me that early. we had a far better power position w the 3 of me nikki and angelica in the early merge game, could have established better connections with that power, but instead, she threw it away and gave herself a role where she had no options but to go w the numbers. i dont ever wanna be too mean towards ppl
bc we all make mistakes, but it’s just really frustrating for me to see my game cut short by people and for this to become what they are doing w their merge game. like if you’re gonna backstab me pls make it good for your game. the move benefited mb more than anyoneeeee else in the whole game, 3/7 who voted for me are on jury almost right after, like cmon. just makes me angry.

kaitlyn- cant see a win scenario. if she cut mb it’d be good, but there are too many ppl who have played better than her who will be sitting next to her. only chance in my eyes is a F2 w angelica.

mb- really doing so much right, and he could make an immunity run. bad jury management w molly but thats it. power player as expected, but at this point biggest fault is just how obvious it is that he has played the most dominant merge. if ppl have the chance, he gets cut somewhere 6-3 no matter what.

chris - bleh for me. not playing from a power position but at least getting himself on the right side of the numbers. dont think he has anyone that would jump in front of a train to protect him. challenge threat. could be working on his angelica/kyle relationships and try to pull a move here, maybe on trey? idk. lots of game to prove himself but not rooting for him bc if he does well worried it’s gonna be at robbie’s expense, srry chris. still love and adore.

kyle - kyle wyd. im hoping mb has been looping you in on shit and you’re playing dumb. but like if he isn’t- i was trying to work w you kyle in a real way. im just sad. want to see kyle step it up strategically and be a part of/leading these last couple moves. no clue who he is working w strategically rn. would love to vote for kyle to win but he’s gotta do something. also could be seen as too big of a social threat.

trey - idk man. rn feel like he cant sit next to robbie or mb, maybe not even chris. his social game just isnt there w ppl like theirs is. nobody really rooting for him specifically/only. playing a good game but has to differentiate himself and take out these bigger players or have a really bug brain ftc.

robbie - just get there and you’ve got my vote king. 100% locked forever. think him working w mb till the end may be best for him, as long as he still has threats like chris and mb will help him get one of those spots as long as they dont look to come for him.

I FEEL LIKE I JUST WON THE FUCKING SUPERBOWL CHRIS ROBBIE KINGS OF THE GAME ALSO MB BUT MOSTLY CHRIS AND ROBBIE NOW THAT I KNOW THEY WOULDVE VOTED MICHAEL’S ASS OUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT ROBBIE GO WIN THE SEASON I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU I WISH I COULD PUT CAPS LOCK ON CAPS FUCK YES FUCK YES

[olivia]

okay the jury still does not understand that they threw their games to michael after the first 3 votes PERMANENTLY so i had to write this. im having robbie proofread and tell me if i should send it to them or not, bc nikki is spewing unaware nonsense in the chat. this also just essentially layed out michael’s perfect game lol, you’re welcome michael, you’re so good.




okay so i could say several things, but it ultimately just boils down to who you (anyone on the wrongside of the live night votes, i will keep saying “you” but it’s not specific to any one person) let the first 2 boots be and consequently who you left in the game. im not trying to be mean, or discount y’alls game, but for me this is my view of the reality of the situation. i feel like im really gonna have to lay this out, im not trying to condescending, im just trying to lay out all the facts/numbers. the first 2 boots (me molly) - were people outside of michael’s power structure, and who were with the “other side”, making it highly unlikely that 3 people (robbie chris trey) were not going to vote with you 3 strong coming into live night. hence, at this live night vote, you NEED michael and kaitlyn. EVERYBODY needs michael and kaitlyn though. they are SMACK DAB at the center of the power structure, especially because you kept trey in, instead of molly, something that imo, only helped michael’s game. if you wanted to have more pull going into live night, the 5 that voted molly, needed to force michael to vote trey. expecting trey robbie chris to all 3 vote together with you if you didn’t vote with them the past 2 votes- you really think that is realistic? thus, you are coming in to an even numbered vote, where you need a 6 person majority, or at least 5, with the 5 not voting with you voting separately (which trey chris robbie knew, and took advantage of). that is the situation you put yourself in. so if your goal is to get kyle nikki genki angelica willow all through that night’s votes - it just ISNT happening unless you all vote together, and work to pull in one other person. but you all relied on different people, who had reasons to not trust you or who had different agendas than you at that point based on how you conducted the previous boots. you created an impossible situation to achieve your goal unless you were able to vote together with that previously named 5 and pull in one other person. by not doing that, you set yourself up for your allies to go and your alliances to crumble.

voting me off - you could have recovered from. voting molly off - made your live night situation really fucking complicated as stated above. it gave you only 1 way to protect those 5 people - to vote together, pull one other person, and vote together again. but you didn’t. and so you all just made it really really difficult for you to get to the end with a winning game and with your allies, because at that point the ENTIRE GAME shifted to michael’s control. there would always be a vote that he could do, that would be in the best interest of the majority of people, that didn’t result in kyle or kaitlyn going, but putting him in the majority, and keeping him there, as long as he could convince enough people not to turn on him, which he has done expertly.

maybe the power dynamics of the game weren’t as clear to everyone. but for me, this has been incredibly clear watching the whole game from jury. michael’s position had to be damaged earlier for anyone else to really exceed, excel, and play a visible good game, but it didn’t happen. that’s why if michael is gets to the end, he wins hands down.

[olivia]

LMFAO i read what nikki said wrong i thought she was asking robbie to fight her opinions on the game- thank GOODNESS i didn’t send this in the chat lol. read it after ppl. also stop getting butthurt, charity is gonna destroy us!!!!!
