I'll do a bigger text confessional later, but I have a couple more thoughts.

First, I wanted to target Chris this round after thinking it over since the confessional. So, of course.

Second, I need to start targeting the TRUEST threats to win the game. Not the biggest threats that everybody sees, but the truest threats, who will be left standing after all the big threats get taken out for being big threats. Thing is, I don't think there are many big threats left in the game. There are a lot of true threats, though: Kaitlyn, Chris, Trey, and Willow all seem like they're positioned to have shots at bigger players (me, Michael, Robbie) whiz by their heads while they breeze to the end. Since I can't get Chris this round, I really want to get Trey.

Robbie is hesitant to do it, though. I don't think he'll flip on Trey. So, what I might need to do, and it's a huge risk, is get Kaitlyn to do it without Michael. I think that for her own game, she needs to make a move independent of him, and now would be a great time to do it. It keeps our trio intact (albeit with a little distrust), and it takes out the biggest (and truest) threat to my individual game, which is Trey.

At that point, with Willow and Angelica, that's four, and I don't think the other four will all vote together. Taking out Trey has to be done with insane precision, otherwise it'll fall apart. Trey, I feel, is the truest of the true threats to win. People don't see it, which is exactly why I think it's true. I have to take matters into my own hands.

More to come.

Here's that bigger text confessional I was talking about. (Even though I think it might be smaller?)

Tonight, I want to see Angelica go. I've decided that it makes sense, outwardly, for me to work with her right now, so if I agree to vote for her, people will think "Why is Kyle making this stupid move? Let's let him make this stupid move," and they won't want to target me tonight because I'm dealing such a huge blow to my own game that I'll be an easy target later. In reality, it's not a blow to my game at all. Angelica has a lot of my secrets and absolutely no filter. She's a liability for me.

She told Michael that I knew he was getting votes at final 10, and I was supposedly cool with letting him go. That's a TIGHT ally of mine, and that's the first inkling he's gotten all game that I might not be loyal to him. Angelica is a problem for my game, because I thrive on secrecy, and she is the antithesis of that. If she can leave tonight, I would love it.

I know I can get Robbie on board by telling him that Angelica told me that he thinks I'm close with Michael. This will build more trust between me and Robbie, because I can reassure him that this isn't the case, and simultaneously sew distrust between him and Angelica, which I can then capitalize on to make my ideal vote happen.

Michael says that Trey was pitching a Willow vote, which I would also be down for. If that comes about more organically, I'll do it. Michael is going all over the place and leaking a lot of info to Chris, so I want to wait and see what the repercussions are of that.

I'm terrified of being taken out by a plurality tonight. I'm staying vigilant and keeping my relationships with everyone but Trey in good shape, so that ideally, nothing can happen to me. Final eight is a dangerous time for me, so hopefully I've done enough gaming to mitigate my risk going into the vote.
