Episode 8

[Jeff Probst]

This is where you will post for Episode 8 : Confessionals, Chats, and Pre-Votes.

I left Episode 7 opened!

[Cassandra]

Well....Bob is gone. Not really surprised. I'm not sure why he thought Alina and Erinn would ever vote with us. I mean, I've never even spoken strategy with them before. Bob was a really nice guy, and I definitely enjoyed working with him. But at times it was difficult to have a conversation with him. And I hated feeling on the outside of him and Artis when we were on Gogora.

Oddly, even though I am in the minority, I feel like I am in a MUCH better position. The Artis/Bob pair was kind of weighing me down. They have very similar personalities and gameplays, and I don't think it's appealing to the Chencha people. I think they prefer how Tina and I are.

My strategy has just been to be friendly, easy-going and not take things too seriously. I really think it's a big part of the game to really get to know everyone and just be genuine on a personal level. For a while it seemed like I was just kind of chatting and not playing, but I really think now is when all of that is going to pay off. They might vote off Artis next, but after that, there's a chance that these people will use their bond to me to make a move in this game. I mean, the 6 Chencha people can't all make the finals together; there has to be cracks in there somewhere.

Out of the Chencha people, I still feel closest to Brendan and Morgan, and Tina feels closest to Alina and Erinn. So maybe we can use these connections to our advantage.

Yes, I realize that this might be overly optimistic and Artis, Tina and myself will be the next 3 picked off. But I definitely don't think it's over for me yet, and I am going to keep doing what I've been doing and see where it takes me.

[Cassandra]

Artis last night in our Gogora group chat:



Tina to me on the side:



I literally love Tina so much lol <3

[Cassandra]

It's so irritating how Colby always randomly stops responding to my messages. Is he like that with everyone or is it just me because I am irrelevant to him? It's really annoying and one of my biggest pet peeves for sure.

On a more positive note, I absolutely love Erinn. She is so sweet and easy to talk to. And we have the same birthday week!

I know I'll most likely be on the jury in this game and my personal relationships with people will be HUGE in determining my jury vote. I don't know how Colby, Shirin and Alina fail to realize that. I really feel like the three of them have made no effort to talk to me or get to know me at all.

[Cassandra]

Convo with Tina after the vote last night. Seriously, what would i do without her?!

Tina Wesson (22:07:22):

cassandra franklin (22:07:25): oh hahahaha
Tina Wesson (22:07:26):
it was 8 screen shots lmao
cassandra franklin (22:07:30): omg hahaha
Tina Wesson (22:07:41):
plus some text from the computer
cassandra franklin (22:07:46): oh when you said is he for real right now
cassandra franklin (22:07:50): were you referring to artis???
cassandra franklin (22:07:52): i just saw that
Tina Wesson (22:07:53):
yes
cassandra franklin (22:07:55): omg
cassandra franklin (22:07:57): i cant believe it
Tina Wesson (22:08:32):
all i can think is we should have taken morgans deal and voted artis and seen what happens
cassandra franklin (22:08:37): right?!?!?
Tina Wesson (22:08:52):
but i really like alina and erinn.. hopefully they are the key to our survival
cassandra franklin (22:09:13): hopefully, although honestly i still feel closest to morgan and brendan
cassandra franklin (22:09:24): but if we have different "people" from chencha, maybe that's a good thing
Tina Wesson (22:09:39):
true they did actually keep us and get rid of the gorgora they didnt know
cassandra franklin (22:09:53): i feel like there's a good chance artis would go before us to
Tina Wesson (22:10:00):
i agree
cassandra franklin (22:10:12): and so if that happens, then after that you and i can really come up with some sort of plan
cassandra franklin (22:10:22): because obviously the 6 of them cant be together forever
cassandra franklin (22:10:25): are alina and erinn a tight pair?
Tina Wesson (22:10:28):
yassssss
Tina Wesson (22:10:30):
i dont know
Tina Wesson (22:10:37):
i just like their personalities from what ive seen
cassandra franklin (22:10:47): ah okay, i feel like they are since they both promised bob whatever
Tina Wesson (22:10:52):
yeah
cassandra franklin (22:10:55): so it's probably they're a pair, morgan/brendan are a pair
cassandra franklin (22:11:11): and then colby and shirin kind of hang out?
cassandra franklin (22:11:11): idk
Tina Wesson (22:11:12):

Tina Wesson (22:11:15):

Tina Wesson (22:11:17):

Tina Wesson (22:11:20):
and artis.
cassandra franklin (22:11:30): lol
cassandra franklin (22:18:43): also honestly if we kept kenny why would he risk rocks for us...he would have probably gone back to them and it would have been 6-4
Tina Wesson (22:19:35):

artissilvester (21:53:29):
it's amazing
cassandra franklin (21:53:46): Oh, sorry I get what you're saying now, like it's by the border but still on the Canadian side
cassandra franklin (21:53:48): That's so good
cassandra franklin (21:53:53): This looks so awesome
artissilvester (21:55:12):
what do you do when you go back to georgia?
cassandra franklin (21:58:25): Relax at home a lot, haha, spend a lot of time with dog, and then just try to see as many friends as possible
cassandra franklin (21:58:55): most of my friends live like an hour and a half away so sometimes it's hard
cassandra franklin (21:59:06): because my parents want me to spend time with them but i also want to go see my friends
artissilvester (22:00:10):
Do you live in a really rural area?
cassandra franklin (22:00:47): No I live in the northeast part of georgia, it's a college town
cassandra franklin (22:01:04): it's not like HUGE but it's not tiny either
artissilvester (22:01:22):
I never knew what a college town meant. It's just mainly young adults who come and go?
cassandra franklin (22:03:45): Yeah kind of! Basically the main attraction of the town is the huge university. So the population of the town where I'm from is around 100,000 people, but about 35,000 of them are college students who attend that university, and so during winter break and the summer, a lot of them are gone. But during the academic year, there are students everywhere and you will find the university logo almost everywhere, and the downtown is catered to the college students
artissilvester (22:05:38):
You're from Athens, right?
artissilvester (22:05:45):
Yeah that's a pretty big university.
cassandra franklin (22:06:06): Yes! Yeah, UGA is huge
artissilvester (22:06:32):
they're serious about their football too
cassandra franklin (22:06:40): Yeah omg
cassandra franklin (22:06:50): You literally can't go anywhere on gamedays
cassandra franklin (22:06:56): Because there is sooo much traffic, haha
cassandra franklin (22:07:02): Another characteristic of a college town
artissilvester (22:08:04):
wow, really?
artissilvester (22:08:07):
that's crazy.
artissilvester (22:08:10):
did you go there?
cassandra franklin (22:08:48): Yeah I did my freshman year, and then transferred to a school in Minnesota when I realized I wanted to be further from home
artissilvester (22:09:51):
why did you want that?
artissilvester (22:10:04):
you could have saved on housing and utilities
cassandra franklin (22:11:19): Yeah, that's very true haha. But I have lived in Georgia almost my whole life and I just didn't feel like I would grow up by going to school in the town I grew up in. I wanted to go somewhere else to experience a new place. It's definitely a lot more expensive, but I feel like I've grown up a lot more and learned a lot more than I would have if I stayed in my hometown.
cassandra franklin (22:12:32): Also I'm an only child, so my parents are a little overbearing sometimes. I have a much better relationship with them when I am further away.
artissilvester (22:17:25):
So why did you go to Minnesota?
cassandra franklin (22:18:39): I wanted to go somewhere super different from Georgia just to get a totally new experience, I also wanted a university with a good journalism program and that was in a big city
cassandra franklin (22:18:50): So just turned out that Minneapolis fit all of that!
cassandra franklin (22:19:16): It was definitely a risk because I had never even been to Minnesota before haha
artissilvester (22:19:23):
Is it cheap to live? I always thought that if i moved to america, i'd want it to be the mid west
cassandra franklin (22:19:41): Big cities are not cheap, unfortunately
cassandra franklin (22:20:00): I think Minnesota in general isn't that bad though, just depends on what part
cassandra franklin (22:20:09): But the midwest is beautiful
artissilvester (22:21:23):
It gets a bad rap for some reason
cassandra franklin (22:22:10): Does it??
cassandra franklin (22:22:37): Haha
artissilvester (22:22:57):
Because it's boring, I think.
artissilvester (22:23:11):
But only boring people get bored.
cassandra franklin (22:23:47): Hahahaha so true
cassandra franklin (22:24:02): Well I'm going to head to bed, back to work tomorrow unfortunately
artissilvester (22:24:48):
Goodnight. Have fun tomorrow.
cassandra franklin (22:25:04): Thank you, have a good vacation day!!
artissilvester (22:25:12):
thanks
artissilvester (22:25:24):
I'm going to see if Big Brother is on global's website yet
cassandra franklin (22:26:04): Yasss perfect
cassandra franklin (22:26:06): Goodnight!!
artissilvester (22:26:13):
night

---------------------------------

[Colby went 'off the record' and my chats with him didn't save, but to paraphrase, he told me he was finally getting up to go to dance class which is an open free class that he can go to whenever he wants. And he didn't mean to go off the record, it was something his phone did. Then he turned it back on.]

cassandra franklin (17:27:18): Let me know if you ever have any questions about the U of M or the transfer process! I can def try to help!
Erinn Lobdell (17:31:56): You're so awesome omg
cassandra franklin (17:32:34): No that's you!
cassandra franklin (17:32:37): How old are you turning tomorrow?!
Erinn Lobdell (17:33:19): 22!
cassandra franklin (17:34:18): Nice!!!
Erinn Lobdell (17:34:42): How about you?
cassandra franklin (17:34:47): 21!! finally haha
Erinn Lobdell (17:35:00): Yay you know what that means!
cassandra franklin (17:35:07): Hahaha yessss
cassandra franklin (17:35:43): How many more years of school do you have?
Erinn Lobdell (17:36:17): Well I've actually been thinking of switching my major from actuarial sciences to either statistical genetics or biostatistics so probably a lot more lol
Erinn Lobdell (17:36:33): Like I'm a people person and I don't think I could handle a boring office job
cassandra franklin (17:37:15): Yeah I totally know what you mean. Are you in grad school or planning on going to grad school?
Erinn Lobdell (17:38:38): Planning on going to grad school
cassandra franklin (17:42:31): Oh awesome
cassandra franklin (17:42:41): So would coming to the U of M be for grad school or still undergrad?
cassandra franklin (17:42:48): If you did
Erinn Lobdell (17:42:56): It might be for my last year of undergrad if I do switch majors
cassandra franklin (17:43:36): Ah okay. I would assume that actualarial sciences and genetics probably have a lot of the same core classes, which is good
Erinn Lobdell (17:43:56): Unfortunately they don't lol
Erinn Lobdell (17:44:21): Actuarial sciences is actually is more geared toward the engineering college whereas genetics is more life sciences
cassandra franklin (17:45:40): Ohhhhhhh I didn't realize haha
cassandra franklin (17:45:58): Yeah that's pretty different haha
Erinn Lobdell (17:46:42): Idk why they even call it actuarial SCIENCES
Erinn Lobdell (17:46:51): Alright I gotta go run now!
Erinn Lobdell (17:46:56): Be back before the challenge lol

Erinn Lobdell (21:37:56): Dang that is nice

Erinn Lobdell (22:05:15): Probably every other 3rd weekend
cassandra franklin (22:07:38): Ah okay! Is it nice being home over the summer?
Erinn Lobdell (22:08:15): A little bit
Erinn Lobdell (22:08:24): My brothers annoying but I like my sister
cassandra franklin (22:09:09): Hahaha, how old are they??
Erinn Lobdell (22:09:36): My brothers 25 and my sisters 17
cassandra franklin (22:12:42): Aw nice!
cassandra franklin (22:12:57): So you're the middle child haha
cassandra franklin (22:13:08): Does your brother always live at home or just right now?
Erinn Lobdell (22:14:19): He always does :/
Erinn Lobdell (22:14:38): He lives right 30 min away so he just drives to college
cassandra franklin (22:14:54): Oh wow

Tina Wesson (20:07:17):

cassandra franklin (20:08:01): Yeah but honestly, and I hate to say this, but worst case scenario right now would be Artis getting it :X
cassandra franklin (20:08:06): Because they have the numbers to split votes now
Tina Wesson (20:08:16):
yesss that would be terrible
cassandra franklin (20:08:34): But you're right there probably will be an HII clue =/
cassandra franklin (20:17:30): lol

cassandra franklin (22:26:33): Talk to you soon <3

[Cassandra]

It's so hard when like, no one wants to talk to you. I get that we are in the minority obviously, but hearing that everyone else is like all making decisions together and no one wants to talk...It's hard. I'm just like a chatty person and I just like to talk and make friends so it makes me sad that people think it's fine to respond to me like one message a day and then randomly stop responding.

Everyone but Morgan really. She is the only one who talks to me. She told me that I won't be going home this round, but they are deciding between Artis and Tina. She hinted that she would like to work with me to make a move, possibly next round if Artis goes this round. Then we chatted a little just about random stuff. It did kind of feel like a Q&A with me asking questions and her giving short responses, but at this point I just appreciate that fact that she's talking to me. She has my vote to win the game just based on the fact that she's giving me the time of day. Erinn has been super nice as well but today was her birthday so she wasn't around. I think she'll probably talk to me more later.

Brendan went from being my favorite of the Chencha people to being like, the person I want out. It makes me sad that he doesn't talk to me anymore and bothers me that he didn't do the last two challenges. But yet, he'll make it to the next round because he's just a vote for them. Pretty frustrating, especially after Tina and I saved him, but hey that was our fault I guess. Good for Brendan for being super likeable even though he doesn't do anything.

[Cassandra]

I haven't logged on AIM yet today, but I thought I would post here first because I know I get distracted...I really don't know what they are going to decide. Either way I am going to be really sad. I have been with Artis and Tina literally the whole game. Artis was my very first ally and I still appreciate how much he helped me during that first challenge. I talk to him a lot and I will miss him if they vote him out...But Tina has been there for me so much during the past few rounds and it's so nice to have someone who I can tell absolutely anything to. I am seriously going to miss her so much if she goes home. Lose-lose situation for sure. I guess we'll see what happens =/

[Cassandra]

Monday convos...Notice how all the Chencha people randomly disappeared at the end. No one wants to talk to me. Lol. Except Morgan <3

Morgan McLeod (20:45:16):
Yep!
cassandra franklin (20:45:46): Fun fun!
cassandra franklin (20:45:50): When do you get to see your boyfriend again?!
Morgan McLeod (20:46:21):
Hopefully soon! I'm not trying to wait until move-in day
Morgan McLeod (20:46:31):
He lives in St. Augustine
cassandra franklin (20:46:48): Awwwh I was just there over Christmas!
Morgan McLeod (20:47:00):
Really?
cassandra franklin (20:47:09): Yeah!
cassandra franklin (20:47:14): Maybe I randomly passed him somewhere

Morgan McLeod (20:47:31):

cassandra franklin (21:39:04): So any chance of me surviving this vote lol
Morgan McLeod (21:39:19):
Yes, I really don't think you're on anyone's radar
cassandra franklin (21:39:33): Okay good haha
cassandra franklin (21:39:37): Is it going to be Artis or Tina?
Morgan McLeod (21:39:56):
That's who we're currently deciding between
cassandra franklin (21:40:16): Mmmk
cassandra franklin (21:40:24): Well thanks for keeping me safe!
Morgan McLeod (21:41:24):
No worries! I don't think anyone even was considering you to go
cassandra franklin (21:41:52): It just sucks feeling like we're getting picked off one by one and no one but you and Erinn really talks to me
cassandra franklin (21:42:00): Like they'll say hi and then randomy stop responding
Morgan McLeod (21:42:32):
Yeah I know what you mean
cassandra franklin (21:42:37): And I'm just trying to get to know people so it makes me feel kind of hopeless that they don't even see me important enough to chat lol
cassandra franklin (21:42:47): Like what kind of jury management is that lol
Morgan McLeod (21:42:59):
I mean I am really interested in working with you, and possibly Tina as well
Morgan McLeod (21:43:02):
Artis... not so much :x
cassandra franklin (21:44:12): Well we would love to work with you too
Morgan McLeod (21:44:33):
On the reward, Erinn and I were both talking about how sweet you are
Morgan McLeod (21:44:40):
And that you're "good"
cassandra franklin (21:45:03): Awwwh well I appreciate that
cassandra franklin (21:45:50): And obviously I don't really have allies so if Artis goes home I am kind of just hanging out looking for someone to work with so you could totall use me to your advantage
Morgan McLeod (21:46:13):
Yeah, I figured that would be the case
cassandra franklin (21:46:46): Yeah
cassandra franklin (21:47:02): So just something to think about since the Chencha 6 can't be together forever
Morgan McLeod (21:47:32):
Right, and I definitely realize that and have been thinking about when to make a move
cassandra franklin (21:48:14): Well dont wait too long hahaha
Morgan McLeod (21:49:25):
No, I don't plan to!
Morgan McLeod (21:49:33):
I'm thinking if Artis goes, like... next round
cassandra franklin (21:51:01): Next round like, not this TC?
Morgan McLeod (21:51:26):
If Artis goes this TC, then I would probably do it next TC
cassandra franklin (21:51:45): Ah okay
cassandra franklin (21:51:50): Are people split between Artis and Tina?
Morgan McLeod (21:52:04):
idk, we're just trying to decide which is the best way to go
cassandra franklin (21:52:15): Alright well good luck!
Morgan McLeod (21:52:20):
Thanks
cassandra franklin (21:58:18): So how long have you and your boyfriend been together?
Morgan McLeod (22:00:56):
Going on two years!
cassandra franklin (22:01:48): Awh that's awesome! And you met him at your college?
Morgan McLeod (22:01:56):
Yep!
cassandra franklin (22:05:42): Will you guys graduate at the same time?
Morgan McLeod (22:05:53):
Yes we will
cassandra franklin (22:06:02): Oh perfect!
cassandra franklin (22:07:01): Have you met his family before?
Morgan McLeod (22:07:14):

Morgan McLeod (22:07:22):
His mom is amazing
cassandra franklin (22:07:59): Awwwh that's awesome, and I bet it's nice having them somewhat close since you go to school so far from your home
Morgan McLeod (22:08:16):
Exactly
cassandra franklin (22:10:06): Has he met your family in Boston yet?
Morgan McLeod (22:10:30):
Unfortunately he hasn't
cassandra franklin (22:11:02): Well hopefully soon he can!
Morgan McLeod (22:11:17):
Hopefully!
