Conversation with Brendan on 7/26/2015 from 7:14 PM to 8:45 PM

Brendan

we must be lucky


Morgan

Well you're lucky! I've been doing terribly in these luck challenges. :x


Brendan

ahaha, we haven't gone to tribal council at all


Morgan

That's my only source of luck I guess lol

The dice hate me in these luck challenges we've had, though


Brendan

it's okay, it looks like we should be merging soon

he said no more tribal work until merge


Morgan

Yeah, I would assume we merge after this round


Brendan

that's what I was thinking

I hope we beat them :x and they can vote bob xD


Morgan

Unless he pulls a fast one on us and waits until final 8/9 or something

And yes, I hope so too!


Brendan

that's would ran crazy twists I wouldn't even realize

never expect it


Morgan

Yeah


Brendan

we have to win

I want to us never go to tribal council lol


Morgan

Me too! I'm trying to avoid Tribal Council like the plague


Brendan

I know this would be the first name I've never gone to a tc until merge


Morgan

Same here!


Brendan

cool storyline

tandang <3


Morgan

Yesss <3

I hope neither of us end up like RC though and are the first ones out in the merge.

Or none of them end up like Denise and win after attending every Tribal Council.


Brendan

OMG no our Tandang storyline lol ends at us never going to TC


Morgan

I hope so!


Brendan

we're not gonna be RCs I mean I got your back and I hope you got mine we would totes hear if our tribe was planning on turning on us


Morgan

I don't know, I'm a bit nervous once we hit merge I could be targeted

But yes I definitely have your back

In fact, the host made me make a bootlist today since I never did and you're #10 on it


Brendan

I don't think you would be, do you really think so? well I wouldn't if that means anything haha

omg aw ;D


Morgan

I don't know... I hope nobody feels threatened by me


Brendan

I haven't made a boot list :X I'm usually pretty good about voting on time


Morgan

So am I, but the host sent me a PM asking me to make one lol


Brendan

haha maybe he asked me to :X oops

well once we hook back up with Chencha what do you wanna do?


Morgan

I mean, before the tribe swap I said I'm #ChenchaStrong to the end. I would love for that to happen. The three Gorgoras on our tribe have been talking to me a lot lately though and seem really sweet, but obviously they are probably just trying to butter me up in case we have to attend Tribal Council to avoid a potential purple rock situation in the event of a tie.


Brendan

yeah that's what I was thinking too

Cassandra is really nice

Tina too


Morgan

Yes!! I love Cassandra


Brendan

artis is alright you gotta get him talking

me too!!!


Morgan

She was saying that she hopes I have fun with my friend and asking if he arrived safely and stuff, and was asking me questions about my personal life and seemed genuinely interested.

And Tina sent me a sweet message as well wishing me luck with my wisdom teeth removal.

And we buried the hatchet about the snarky comments in the challenge threads


Brendan

I know! same here. she was telling me all about her degree and life haha


Morgan

And yeah talking to Artis was kind of difficult, like pulling teeth almost


Brendan

haha aw everyone knows it was just good competitive fun


Morgan

How ironic I'm having that done tomorrow


Brendan

yes :x he's hard to read


Brendan

lol that'll make for a good pun


Morgan

And yeah it was strictly fun and me being competitive

I had no ill feelings towards her at all


Brendan

whatever happens I wanna vote the same as you :X if we lose would it go to rocks you think?


Morgan

I don't know, when I was talking to Tina and she was saying how she hoped we won the last immunity challenge, I told her I was surprised because I thought they might try to throw it to save Bob and take a risk in a 3-3 tie at Tribal Council

And she said that she wouldn't risk pulling a purple rock just to save Bob

So that's where I got the rocks idea from, but I have no clue what would happen


Brendan

oh wow that's true

and yeah I think if we're completely outnumbered they woulda done it but they would get rock'd out bc karma is a bitch lol

we just gotta win one more IC

[Morgan]

7, 2015 11:46 AM

Ahh I'm sorry I never responded to this! For some reason my AIM was fucking up yesterday and just sent me a bunch of random old messages that I never saw before
But thank you so much <3 I really appreciate it
12:01 PM

Hi Tina! Hit me up when you're available to chat.
12:19 PM
Tina Wesson
Hey Morgan!

Hey! So glad I could catch you.
How have you been?
Tina Wesson
Pretty good.. How's your mouth haha

Not nearly as bad as yesterday, thankfully. I took a nap after taking my pain meds and the pain mostly subsided when I woke up.
It was still bleeding quite a bit, but that seems to have died down as well.
12:20 PM
Tina Wesson
That's good. I've only had one of mine out so I still have three to go

Oh no D: I wish you the best of luck with that
12:22 PM

You guys gave such a great effort in the immunity challenge last night! It sucks that it was so close
Tina Wesson
Omg I was devastated

I was too when I saw how close you guys were
Now I get to attend my first Tribal Council... fun
12:23 PM

Have you thought about any ideas for the vote yet?
12:26 PM
Tina Wesson
My first thought was ken just because of the challenge but idk at all. I feel like I'll probably be a target

Yeah, Brendan was telling me you guys talked about Ken and he seemed open to the idea
12:27 PM

I feel bad because he did want to sit out at first, but I felt I needed to sit out instead :x
But I have a proposition for you if you're willing to hear me out
Tina Wesson
Okay I'm down

Alright
12:28 PM

So assuming next round is merge
I was thinking that the 5 of us that survive this Tribal Council can team up with Bob on the other side (if you think he would be down for that) and take it to the final 6
12:29 PM

Now working out the numbers that way, if we happened to vote out Ken this round, that would make our final 6 consist of 4 Gorgoras and 2 Chenchas which makes me feel just a tad bit uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie. I feel that I can trust you to an extent, but obviously you have had more time to build relationships with your original tribemates.
12:30 PM

So I wanted to approach you about the possibility of maybe voting for... say Artis? For one, to avoid a potential purple rock scenario, and that way when we merge, it's you, Bob, Cassandra, Brendan, Kenny and I against Colby, Shirin, Alina and Erinn
And we just boot those 4 one after the other
And bam, we're final 6, and it's even in tribal lines and from their it's fair game
And if I'm being honest, I would be super down for the idea of #girlpower at final 6 and you, Cassandra and I taking it to final 3 if you would be down for that
But I do obviously understand if you feel uncomfortable voting for Artis, which is why there is another option
12:32 PM

Since in the case of a tie, according to the rules, you were right in that in the case of a tie there is a re-vote and if there is still a tie, we draw rocks
And the two people in the tie are automatically safe
12:33 PM

I was thinking that if we ended up doing a 3-3 split, you 3 could vote for me (or whichever one you want to really, I don't care) and us 3 could vote for you if you would be okay with that (or again, whichever one you would prefer, doesn't matter to me)
That way, when it goes to rocks, you and I would be guaranteed safe for example. Or whoever we decide to keep safe
And then we let the rocks decide. If it happens that Artis (or even Cassandra I guess) happens to leave, I would still be down for that final 6 plan because then it would still be even tribal lines and I would feel more comfortable about that
12:35 PM

If Brendan or Kenny left, I would kind of feel a bit less comfortable to go about that final 6 plan if I'm being honest, but nothing is set in stone yet obviously.
Not to mention, it seems that Erinn has gone MIA so when we merge, it might even be easier to boot her than we might think
Sorry for the long-winded rant, I was just thinking really in-depth about all of this
12:37 PM
Tina Wesson
alright no worries sorry for the silence lol i figured it was probably best for me to get on the computer instead of the phone

Oh also, if it happens that for some reason we don't merge next round and Artis (or Cassandra if it comes to that) left this round and we lost and had to attend Tribal Council again, I can give you my word that I would vote for either Brendan or Kenny, and I would let you guys choose.
12:38 PM
Tina Wesson
I'm definitely interested in all of this
lol and a final three of me you and cass sounds awesome.
12:40 PM
Tina Wesson
because we really are the strongest girls imo and deserve to make it far
12:41 PM

Yesss I think that would be perfect <3
Also, like I said in my confessional and I actually even told Brendan, I think you and Cassandra are total sweethearts
You actually ask questions about my personal life and seem genuinely interested, unlike anyone else in this game that I've talked to so far
12:42 PM

It really means a lot to me and makes a great impression
Tina Wesson
haha well for me these games are about making a connection and enjoying getting to know people you know? i mean.. its cool to say you won a game but really what is the prize at the end of the day

Yes! I feel the same exact way, and the fact that you do as well speaks numbers to me
12:44 PM
Tina Wesson
So obviously i'll need to talk to Cass to see where she's at and if she agrees. Because honestly, the last two old gorgora tribal councils i thought there was a decent chance i could be gone
12:45 PM

Yeah, definitely talk to Cass and let me know what she thinks.
I mean like I said, I completely understand if you don't feel comfortable voting out another one of your own. We can just work it out differently in that case.
12:46 PM
Tina Wesson
Yeah for sure

But I would not like to see either you or Cassandra go.
Artis... I mean, he seems like a nice guy and all, but honestly talking to him was kind of like pulling teeth. (how ironic that's the procedure I had done yesterday )
Tina Wesson
From a standpoint of getting bob on board with this kind of plan it would probably be best if it tied but that puts someone we dont want out at danger which is never great
IT SO IS I DONT UNDERSTAND

Haha, I just have no idea where his head is at or anything
12:47 PM

You and Cassandra are both capable of holding great conversations
Tina Wesson
lol it was so bad on old gorgora
bob and cassandra were like.. the only people who knew how to talk

And yeah I could definitely understand if it had to tie to get Bob on board
Tina Wesson
keith vanished, russell was.. idk not all there, twila only spoke in tribe chat and wendy was 5 hours ahead and never on
12:48 PM

Yeah, I could tell even before we switched that you, Bob and Cassandra seemed to be the most competent players on your tribe
Tina Wesson
rofl its so true

Which is why I would love to work with you guys, because I like working with those types of players
12:50 PM
Tina Wesson
Same.. plus with us being the challenge beasts we are we could pretty much guarantee we would never have to worry about someone we need to vote out winning immunity
12:52 PM

Exactly! We would have it made all the way to the final 6
And then like I said I would love to go to the final 3 with both you and Cassandra, and I would even be open to the idea of Brendan and/or Kenny going before Bob once we reached that point
12:54 PM
Tina Wesson
I like it a lot

1:04 PM

Yeah, and we can rework it to you and Cassandra's liking. I'm open to anything. Just figured I'd get all my thoughts out there and then we can make adjustments where needed.
1:11 PM
Tina Wesson
Absolutely
I'm going to tqke a nap for a minute lol i had to get up early to dogsit my friends dogs and now im exhausted
ill keep my aim on my phone in case cass comes on
1:25 PM

Sorry, went in the other room for a sec. But alright! Enjoy your nap, and I'll talk to you later <3

[Morgan]

Jul 27, 2015 10:08 PM
Brendan
hey!

hiii omg
i'm not as doped up anymore, thank goodness
Brendan
im so mad
we lost by seconds
Jul 27, 2015 10:09 PM

just read that
Brendan
we had two penalties


ughhh
that's lame af
Brendan
our first tribal :-(
ik
what do we do

i don't even know
Brendan
i dont wanna go to rocks
tina threw out ken's name to me

obviously i'm not voting for you, and i would feel kinda bad about voting kenny just cuz he's super hilarious
Jul 27, 2015 10:10 PM

i mean i don't wanna vote cassandra either cuz she's a sweetheart and i like tina too
Brendan
yeah i promise im not voting for you lol i want to vote the same as you always lol
esentialy every scenario is terrible
Jul 27, 2015 10:11 PM

yeah :\
Brendan
do you wanna go to rocks?
we're so close to merge idk

idk like it's incredibly risky
Jul 27, 2015 10:12 PM

the fact that you and i would combined have a 40% chance of one of us leaving scares me
Brendan
ik
Jul 27, 2015 10:12 PM
Brendan
and if they vote ken
hes safe
and we're the sacrificial lambs

right :\
Brendan
do we risk and vote artis or be safe and vote ken?
Jul 27, 2015 10:13 PM

hmm... it's a tough call
Jul 27, 2015 10:14 PM

i mean i like kenny and i know that if our original tribe finds out we defected, we'll be targets for them probably
but... it's our asses over his
Jul 27, 2015 10:15 PM
Brendan
do you think our tribe would think we've betrayed them? and wouldnt take us back
they'd have to for numbers right?
would we still be up chencha to gorgora if we voted ken?

i mean i'm kinda nervous about it, but i have no clue
yeah we'd still be up in numbers if they still would trust us enough to work with us
Jul 27, 2015 10:15 PM

i wonder what their relationship with bob is like
Jul 27, 2015 10:17 PM
Brendan
i hope they dont like bob more and want to work with him over us
Jul 27, 2015 10:18 PM
Brendan
do we make a deal with cass/tina/artis if we decide to vote ken or what?
are we commiting to anything?
Jul 27, 2015 10:19 PM

that's what i'm afraid of
Jul 27, 2015 10:19 PM

and yeah i guess the simplest approach would be to go to them to make a deal
but then what if like we thought earlier, the host decides to not merge at 10 and we lose another immunity challenge
you and i are screwed
they would probably even just throw it to take us out if that was teh case
Jul 27, 2015 10:20 PM
Brendan
omg i didnt even think of that

yeah so it's a big decision
Brendan
but isnt it 10 after this round?

yes, but he might not merge right at 10
he might wait until 9 or heck even 8
who knows
Brendan
twists
fuck
man
now things got a whole lot harder

yeah :\
Jul 27, 2015 10:21 PM
Brendan
should we campaign to them to see if any of them would flip
or do you think they're more willing to go to rocks than us
Jul 27, 2015 10:22 PM

hmm... i honestly have no clue
like it didn't seem like tina was willing to do that from when i first talked to her
Brendan
yeah they probably feel more desparate than w do
i guess we can sleep on it
Jul 27, 2015 10:22 PM
Brendan
i wish ken would get online

yeah i definitely need to have a clear mind in order to logically think this through
my mind is still a little foggy from the meds
Brendan
man
i think we can figure this out
and its ok if you wanna chill and go to bed haha

but yeah kenny being MIA is difficult
Jul 27, 2015 10:23 PM
Brendan
im sure nothing more will happen
yeah :/

oh well i'm already sitting in bed haha
Brendan
its hard to make an honest pitch to save him
lol good

yeah i mean there's no real reason for us to go our of our way to save his ass and risk ours
Jul 27, 2015 10:24 PM

except for how it would potentially bode for us down the line :x
Jul 27, 2015 10:26 PM
Brendan
exactly
i would only want to save him because we need him to survive if we merge late LOL
my heads getting paranoid
what if we agree to vote ken
and they tell ken
and it goes 4 - 2 and we go lol
Jul 27, 2015 10:27 PM

yeah that's another worry of mine :\
Brendan
is that us being crazy tho lol
Jul 27, 2015 10:28 PM

probably us being overly paranoid
but we have to be in this situation. it's a do or die situation
Jul 27, 2015 10:29 PM
Brendan
i know
it'd be awesome if we went to rocks and one of them left lol

yes, that would be an ideal situation
Jul 27, 2015 10:30 PM

i mean...
Jul 27, 2015 10:30 PM
Brendan
yeah?

ugh part of me wants one of us to like, be a sacrificial lamb and have them vote for us and when (if) it ties and goes to purple rocks, one of us is guaranteed safe, making our chances of going home from 50% down to 25%
Jul 27, 2015 10:31 PM

but then we risk kenny pulling a fast one over the one of us that does that and getting us out
Jul 27, 2015 10:33 PM
Brendan
hmm that could work too
i would go to rocks if they voted for you
but not for kenny
Jul 27, 2015 10:33 PM

yeah
idk like i'm feeling like kenny probably wouldn't vote for me to keep up with his shtick of being obsessed with my boobs or w/e it is
Jul 27, 2015 10:34 PM

but he would have to vote for the one of them that we vote for.
and if he didn't, or he tried to vote for you (or did end up voting me) i'm gone
i mean i guess it's a sacrifice i would be willing to make, since once i start up school again i probably wouldn't have TOO much time to commit to the game
Jul 27, 2015 10:35 PM

but idk
Jul 27, 2015 10:37 PM
Brendan
aw thats true
when does school start for you again?
Jul 27, 2015 10:38 PM

not until august 17th, but i fly back down a week from today cuz i'm going to the hearts of reality event
Jul 27, 2015 10:39 PM
Brendan
oh hey ive heard of that!!
so you're from florida?
Jul 27, 2015 10:39 PM

yeah, it's a pretty great event! and i'm from the boston area, but i go to school in florida
Brendan

yeah, i quite enjoy it
Jul 27, 2015 10:40 PM
Brendan

Jul 27, 2015 10:42 PM

i'm excited to meet boston rob! he reps my city and my dad and i were huge fans of his since marquesas lol. even though i agree with most that he's overrated.

which is the company that sponsors hearts of reality
and at first she was just going to get me an autograph book with autographs from some of my favorite contestants
Jul 27, 2015 10:48 PM

and when she told me i freaaaaked out
Brendan

Brendan

12:13 AM

hey, are you still around?
8:54 AM
Brendan
hey morgan! i fell asleep :-( i'll sign on later today tho :-)
2:17 PM
Brendan
hey I can talk for a few, what did you wanna tell me? have you spoken to Kenny?

Yes! I've spoken to both Kenny and Tina actually
I'm more together now that my mind isn't foggy from the drugs yesterday
I came up with a proposition to Tina
2:19 PM
Brendan
lmfao nice
yeah?

Yes. It's very long-winded, so bear with me
And there were some parts of it I stretched the truth about it make her take the bait, but like I said before, you are my #1
Here's what I said to her:
So assuming next round is merge
I was thinking that the 5 of us that survive this Tribal Council can team up with Bob on the other side (if you think he would be down for that) and take it to the final 6
2:20 PM
Brendan
okay if I stop replying it's only bc I went back to work

No worries
As long as you're eventually able to read through it
Now working out the numbers that way, if we happened to vote out Ken this round, that would make our final 6 consist of 4 Gorgoras and 2 Chenchas which makes me feel just a tad bit uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie. I feel that I can trust you to an extent, but obviously you have had more time to build relationships with your original tribemates.
So I wanted to approach you about the possibility of maybe voting for... say Artis? For one, to avoid a potential purple rock scenario, and that way when we merge, it's you, Bob, Cassandra, Brendan, Kenny and I against Colby, Shirin, Alina and Erinn
And we just boot those 4 one after the other
And bam, we're final 6, and it's even in tribal lines and from their it's fair game
This is where I lied to her :x
And if I'm being honest, I would be super down for the idea of #girlpower at final 6 and you, Cassandra and I taking it to final 3 if you would be down for that
2:21 PM

But I do obviously understand if you feel uncomfortable voting for Artis, which is why there is another option
Since in the case of a tie, according to the rules, you were right in that in the case of a tie there is a re-vote and if there is still a tie, we draw rocks
And the two people in the tie are automatically safe
I was thinking that if we ended up doing a 3-3 split, you 3 could vote for me (or whichever one you want to really, I don't care) and us 3 could vote for you if you would be okay with that (or again, whichever one you would prefer, doesn't matter to me)
That way, when it goes to rocks, you and I would be guaranteed safe for example. Or whoever we decide to keep safe
And then we let the rocks decide. If it happens that Artis (or even Cassandra I guess) happens to leave, I would still be down for that final 6 plan because then it would still be even tribal lines and I would feel more comfortable about that
If Brendan or Kenny left, I would kind of feel a bit less comfortable to go about that final 6 plan if I'm being honest, but nothing is set in stone yet obviously.
Not to mention, it seems that Erinn has gone MIA so when we merge, it might even be easier to boot her than we might think
2:22 PM

Here was another semi-lie I told her
Oh also, if it happens that for some reason we don't merge next round and Artis (or Cassandra if it comes to that) left this round and we lost and had to attend Tribal Council again, I can give you my word that I would vote for either Brendan or Kenny, and I would let you guys choose.
Although in that case, I would only vote for Kenny if you and I decided to do that together
I definitely wouldn't vote for you
She said she would talk to Cass about it and get back to me
2:24 PM
Brendan
yeah Morgan you're my ride or die so I appreciate I want to work with you until the end this is brilliant!

lol this was another lie I told her too:
And then like I said I would love to go to the final 3 with both you and Cassandra, and I would even be open to the idea of Brendan and/or Kenny going before Bob once we reached that point
Brendan
I've talked to Cass and she likes us too

Just to see if she might take the bait
Brendan
no that's good

Which if worse comes to worst, we just boot Kenny
And I told her this too:
Yeah, and we can rework it to you and Cassandra's liking. I'm open to anything. Just figured I'd get all my thoughts out there and then we can make adjustments where needed.
Brendan
sugar coat the hell out of it

Yeah, I'm trying to make it sound as appealing to them as I possibly can
2:25 PM
Brendan
that's so awesome! thank you for doing this Morgan I'm sorry I'm at work lol

But yeah I informed Kenny about it as well, although I left out bits and pieces with him. You're the only one I gave the full story/truth to
Brendan
yeah I totally understand

But yeah, go back to work and I'll talk to you when you're available
2:26 PM
Brendan
for sure thanks for catching me up. I'm available like all day after work I have to clean my apt I'm heading back to work now I'll talk to you later Morgan you're the best!!

Alright, I hope work goes well and we'll chat later! And no problem, you're even better <3

[Morgan]

12:03 AM
Kenny Hoang
Damn. Our first TC

ughhh i know
12:03 AM

i'm not as loopy now as i was earlier, thank goodness
but i'm glad you're on now because i have a lot to talk to you about
Kenny Hoang
Oh
Sure what's up?
12:04 AM

okay so
12:05 AM

you have to promise me not to freak out when i tell you this
Kenny Hoang
K

brendan is like considering voting with the gorgoras for you, and was trying to see if i was on board to do that
Kenny Hoang
Makes sense.
12:05 AM

obviously i don't want you to leave
Kenny Hoang
I don't want me to leave either.

if anything, i would want artis to leave since i have connected with him the least out of the three gorgoras on our tribe, but i definitely have your back over brendan's
because i just honestly like you more
12:06 AM

and feel that you are more trustworthy
Kenny Hoang
Well thanks. I appreciate that big time

you're welcome
but we have to figure out a game plan
to ensure our safety
12:07 AM
Kenny Hoang
Well if you can talk Brendan into it I know I can win a tiebreaker challenge

is that what it would go to is a tiebreaker challenge?
for some reason according to brendan, tina seems to think it would go to rocks and he has that idea in his head
12:08 AM

i guess he says tina is the one who brought up voting for you
12:09 AM

if it would go to a tiebreaker challenge, i feel like he would definitely be open to voting with us
who would you feel more comfortable going up against if that was the case?
Kenny Hoang
We can check the rules but I doubt it's rocks
Any of them.

yeah, that would suck if it was
i'm trying to think of which one of them sucks the most at challenges just to be safe.
12:10 AM

tina i think would be your most difficult competitor out of the three, which sucks since she was supposedly the one who brought your name up
but if you feel comfortable going up against her, i have no problem writing her name down
Kenny Hoang
Well you can tell him Gorgora was already courting me to flip on his ass

i think he would be most willing to vote for artis, since we both agreed that talking to him is like pulling teeth (how ironic i got that done today)
12:11 AM
Kenny Hoang
Which is true

but i will vote for anyone. even brendan if it means keeping you safe
Kenny Hoang
They asked me right at the swap

really? you can use that as ammo
Kenny Hoang
Yup
12:12 AM

when we were talking earlier and i was trying to give him reasons why it would me smarter to not vote for you, he was saying he wished you were on so we could talk to you about it
have you been able to talk to him yet?
12:13 AM
Kenny Hoang
Brendan? Nope

i wonder if he's still around right now
12:13 AM
Kenny Hoang
I can try
12:14 AM

i just shot him a message asking if he's still around, but he hasn't responded yet
12:15 AM

but yeah i bet if you tried it would look good
12:16 AM

i wanted to try and maybe convince him by being like, "so i just talked to kenny and he said that the gorgoras approached him about taking you out, but he just told me he's completely against that idea"
12:16 AM

so he would be less apt to wanna vote for you
Kenny Hoang
Tell him if they didn't tell him about it
12:17 AM
Kenny Hoang
They obviously are still considering it

yeah
exactly
12:18 AM
Kenny Hoang
If they weren't they'd have used that against me
12:18 AM
Kenny Hoang
If he votes me they can split 3-2-1

right, so hopefully that can work in our favor
we have to make sure he is aware of that
12:19 AM
Kenny Hoang
Yeah
12:28 AM
Kenny Hoang
I'll be on tomorrow to do some butt kissing
12:29 AM

alright. hopefully when brendan responds to me, i can continue to try and talk him out of the idea of flipping to vote you out
i think he's just paranoid
but now we know if we all make it through this round, we have to keep our eye out for him
1:29 PM

Okay, so now that I'm not as doped up on drugs, I thought out a plan to keep us safe and just approached Tina about it.
And she said she'll discuss it with Cassandra later when she logs on.
1:33 PM
Kenny Hoang
What's the plan?

Alright, it's very long-winded, so bear with me
So I asked Tina if she had any ideas for the vote yet
And she said this:
Tina Wesson
My first thought was ken just because of the challenge but idk at all. I feel like I'll probably be a target
1:34 PM

So first I was saying, "Well to be fair that's mostly my fault, because Kenny wanted to sit out, but I asked to be sit out instead because of my wisdom teeth."
And then I went into my proposition for her
So assuming next round is merge
I was thinking that the 5 of us that survive this Tribal Council can team up with Bob on the other side (if you think he would be down for that) and take it to the final 6
1:35 PM

Now working out the numbers that way, if Kenny happened to leave this round, that would make our final 6 consist of 4 Gorgoras and 2 Chenchas which makes me feel just a tad bit uncomfortable, I'm not going to lie. I feel that I can trust you to an extent, but obviously you have had more time to build relationships with your original tribemates.
So I wanted to approach you about the possibility of maybe voting for... say Artis? For one, to avoid a potential purple rock scenario, and that way when we merge, it's you, Bob, Cassandra, Brendan, Kenny and I against Colby, Shirin, Alina and Erinn
And we just boot those 4 one after the other
And bam, we're final 6, and it's even in tribal lines and from their it's fair game
And then to make her consider it more, I told her this, but obviously you are my true #1
1:36 PM

And if I'm being honest, I would be super down for the idea of #girlpower at final 6 and you, Cassandra and I taking it to final 3 if you would be down for that
But I do obviously understand if you feel uncomfortable voting for Artis, which is why there is another option
Since in the case of a tie, according to the rules, you were right in that in the case of a tie there is a re-vote and if there is still a tie, we draw rocks
I was thinking that if we ended up doing a 3-3 split, you 3 could vote for me (or whichever one of us you want to really, I don't care) and us 3 could vote for you if you would be okay with that (or again, whichever one you would prefer, doesn't matter to me)
That way, when it goes to rocks, you and I would be guaranteed safe for example. Or whoever we decide to keep safe
And then we let the rocks decide. If it happens that Artis (or even Cassandra I guess) happens to leave, I would still be down for that final 6 plan because then it would still be even tribal lines and I would feel more comfortable about that
1:38 PM

If Kenny or Brendan left, I would kind of feel a bit less comfortable to go about that final 6 plan if I'm being honest, but nothing is set in stone yet obviously.
Not to mention, it seems that Erinn has gone MIA so when we merge, it might even be easier to boot her than we might think
And then I told her this as well which is total BS, but like I said, I had to make it sound appealing to her:
Oh also, if it happens that for some reason we don't merge next round and Artis (or Cassandra if it comes to that) left this round and we lost and had to attend Tribal Council again, I can give you my word that I would vote for either Brendan or Kenny, and I would let you guys choose.
1:39 PM

And then like I said I would love to go to the final 3 with both you and Cassandra, and I would even be open to the idea of Brendan and/or Kenny going before Bob once we reached that point
Yeah, and we can rework it to you and Cassandra's liking. I'm open to anything. Just figured I'd get all my thoughts out there and then we can make adjustments where needed.
1:41 PM

But yeah, my goal is that if this plan works, either way we decide to go in the merge: going back to original with Chencha, or actually honoring this plan I proposed to her, you are definitely my #1. I just can't let them think that. It already probably looks a bit sketchy that I'm not budging on voting you out with Brendan.
1:57 PM
Kenny Hoang
No problem
2:04 PM

So yeah, I really hope this works D:
I'm just trying to keep both you and I safe. I don't even really care about Brendan.
2:17 PM
Kenny Hoang
Me neither
2:30 PM

I just filled Brendan in on the proposition to TIna though, because in order for this to work, we'll need his vote
On iPhone...
Kenny Hoang
Okay cool
2:32 PM

I really hope this works
