Episode 12

[Jeff Probst]

Final 4

[Cassandra]

Oh my gosh, what a TC. I think I am the only person who wasn't shocked at anything that happened. Lol. What are the odds? From being the person who never had any idea what was going on to being the person who knew who everyone was voting?

Gosh I have such mixed feelings. I am so sad Erinn is gone and I wish so badly that she was online so I could have saved her. It was like the one time she wasn't here. I really hope she doesn't think I planned that with Alina and Shirin because I seriously would never be that awful to her after all she has done for me.

Up until now I have played almost a completely honest game, but as soon as TC was over, I started lying to everyone. I was still so shaken from TC that I was seriously all over the place and telling everyone different things. I told Alina that Erinn gave me the idol but then decided I didn't want to say that so I pretended that I meant to just say "idol clues" lol, I was a seriously a hot mess. But to be honest, I don't think it mattered. I think all my luck has run out, I literally don't think I have any shot of making the final 3 if I don't win immunity. But I am still going to try to work on Colby. After TC he like for the first time started talking to me. It's really frustrating how he only talks to me when he needs me, but whatever, it's my only option at this point.

[Cassandra]

In hindsight, what I should have done is just refused to vote out Erinn. Then Alina and Shirin would have just voted for me and I could have sent one of them home and saved Erinn. But wasn't thinking straight when all that was going down. Ugh.

INTERVIEW WITH : CASSANDRA
* Remember viewers don't see the questions, make your own sentences. *

1. Talk about the immunity challenge.

2. Talk about Alina.

3. Talk about Shirin.

4. Talk about Colby.

5. How do you plan on surviving this tribal council?

[Cassandra]

The immunity challenge was so hard and stressful. I got super lost in the maze at one point and basically ran back to where I started to go the other direction. Luckily I found my bags pretty quickly after that and I counted the tiles pretty quickly, but not fast enough. I feel even worst at this TC than I did when I thought I was going home last time because I literally feel like I have no chance this time. I honestly feel like I fucked up so bad at the last TC. I had the idol and all the info and I didn't play my cards right, and I am so frustrated with myself.

I started out the game not liking Alina so much for the sole reason that she never responded to me and was rather blunt about wanting me to go. But after I finally approached her and told her how I felt, she was so sweet and understanding and it made me like her a lot.

Shirin really is a nice girl and fun to talk to. We haven't talked a whole lot because she's never here, but I have enjoyed our few conversations. I respect how she came out and made that big move to take out Erinn, but not even doing the final 4 immunity kind of sucks when I am like over here needing it to save my life.

I want to be close with Colby, but it's super hard. He's honestly the worst conversationalist. I just want to give to know him but he is SO one-wordy and never has anything interesting to say. I told him I wanted to talk to him and the next day he's all "What did you want to talk to me about?" and I"m like "nothing....I just wanted to talk to you like I"ve been trying to this whole game..." He never responds to me in a timely manner, and then right after the TC where I play my idol he's all of a sudden responding to me faster than ever before.

At first I was going to approach Colby and try to split up the girls, but if I can catch Alina online, I think I am going to see if she'd be willing to take out Shirin because her and I would have a better chance of beating Colby in the final immunity challenge. I feel like I have more of an emotional connection with Alina so maybe that would work better. Idk. I'm feeling pretty hopeless.

[Cassandra]

40 minutes until results. Alina and I chatted this morning but she was replying slow so I didn't get to bring up the vote. Shirin I haven't talked to like usual. The only person I've discussed the vote is with Colby and he asked me to vote Alina. I don't know if he was being hoenst or if he changed his mind since then, but I mean, I guess that's my only shot to stay at this point.

[Cassandra]

As usual, not getting any response from any one

Going to have to cast my vote for Alina tonight. Alina, I am so glad that we started to talk and get to know each other in the game. I honestly think you're super nice and I appreciate you opening up to me more. Unfortunately this is my only shot to stay in at this point. Sorry. =/

[Cassandra]

Well, it's a tie. That's as good as it's going to get for me. I am going to try super hard to win this challenge tomorrow.

Alina and I had a good chat. She is so nice and understanding, and I have grown to like her a lot. If I lose the tiebreaker, I truly want her to win the game, and I think she feels the same about me which is a great feeling. We both have similar sentiments about Colby's lack of a social gameplay and it was nice to bond over that today. I feel bad talking about Colby behind his back since he really did just save me, but I really don't think he's played the strongest game.

Alina also really opened my eyes about Shirin's game. I was saying how I was frustrated at how Shirin admitted she shouldn't be here and she didn't even try in challenge, but Alina told me that her and Shirin have been working together for awhile and Shirin is doing more than she lets on to. If that's the case, she's doing it brilliantly. I don't even think Morgan and Erinn had much of an idea of that, but who knows.

[Cassandra]

Alina Wilson (20:34:29): what was the idol answer
cassandra franklin (20:34:41): Alright so thank you SO much for keeping me, but I guess I should explain, I got the idol from Erinn so I just couldn't bring myself to vote for her. I thought that would be a huge slap in the face. So I voted for Shirin, I hope you understand =/
cassandra franklin (20:35:30): "African"
Alina Wilson (20:37:17): LOL. Wait, she gave you the idol in order to get Shirin out?? Is that what happened
cassandra franklin (20:37:33): Well she gave me the clues
cassandra franklin (20:37:48): She told me everyone was going to vote for me and just to go with my gut on who to vote
Alina Wilson (20:46:31): I can't believe any of this. But it's a good thing it went down like it did. I wasn't expecting you to whip that out!
cassandra franklin (20:47:46): Yeah I am still in shock myself. It's super weird she is gone, but regardless of the idol or not, I am really grateful that you and Shirin were willing to keep me and give me one more chance.
cassandra franklin (20:48:11): I just felt like because she gave me the clues and helped me find it, it just would have been a huge bitch move to vote her out as well
Alina Wilson (20:50:12): No. I agree, it would've been tough. She was giving me clues too but I was pretty surprised . That was a really good play either way and a very interesting way to end an episode
cassandra franklin (20:50:55): Yeah exactly. Thanks for understanding Alina
cassandra franklin (20:51:19): I'm going to get off now, have to go back to my other apartment again, but thanks again for keeping me and we'll chat soon!
Alina Wilson (20:52:52): I hope so Cass!! Good luck with moving things!
cassandra franklin (22:32:04): Hey girl you still around?
Thursday, August 20, 2015
Alina Wilson (11:28:46): Hey, I had left. How'd your day?
cassandra franklin (17:33:16): Not too bad, just a long day at work, but I got to be in a video that my office is filming for social media, so that was fun! Now eating pizza that my apartment was giving out for free and about to go take pictures with a friend of mine. HOw's your day?
Alina Wilson (18:50:04):
That doesn't sound like a bad day at all, that sounds like a pretty awesome day honestly. Get to be in a commercial, free pizza and then it sounds like you're a model too? I had a pretty good day, just had Sonic for dinner
cassandra franklin (21:30:37): Hahahaha no where near a model, just have a friend who has a nice camera and likes to take pics So every so often we'll dress up and go to a new place to hang out and take pics on her camera. Haha nothing super fancy, more so for her because she's into artsy stuff like that But yeah it was a good time. I'm glad you had a good day!! I haven't had Sonic in forever but their ice cream shakes and stuff are delicious
Saturday, August 22, 2015
cassandra franklin (07:24:02): Hey girl!
Alina Wilson (11:33:02): Hey Cass! How are you ??
cassandra franklin (11:34:52): Pretty well! Got a massage this morning which was nice because I've been so tense
cassandra franklin (11:35:14): Going to go to Target later to buy some new sheets and then I'm going to make pasta with vodka sauce for dinner!
cassandra franklin (11:39:44): How are you?!
Alina Wilson (11:50:09): Oooh! You always have pretty fun sounding days, a MASSAGE, and Target. I'm good, just doing some laundry and cleaning today and then I have to drive a couple hours to help my parents move some stuff around
cassandra franklin (11:52:26): Hahahah yeah the massage was great, honestly not the best massage I've ever had because it hurt a lot but I feel like the more it hurts it's probably good because it's relieving a lot of muscle tension so I just kept thinking about that haha.
cassandra franklin (11:52:34): How far away do your parents live?
Alina Wilson (16:47:40): They're about 2 hours away so it's not too terrible. And yeah, I've actually never gotten my back professionally massaged but I LIVE for back massages. I can't get enough. There is always some sort of tension in my back. I think maybe I have bad posture but idts
cassandra franklin (16:48:31): Oh gosh you would totally love a professional one then. They're a little expensive but totally worth it to do every once in a while
cassandra franklin (16:48:53): How was moving your parents?
cassandra franklin (17:31:52): Alina I have to run now =/
cassandra franklin (17:32:06): Hope you have a good evening and if you're on in a few hours I'll def talk to you then <3
cassandra franklin (22:18:22): Hey girl I'm back
Sunday, August 23, 2015
Alina Wilson (23:35:36): Hey! Who voted with you? Colby?
Alina Wilson (23:37:12): If you beat me, I'm rooting for Ya. I mean it
cassandra franklin (08:34:15): You too, honestly!
Alina Wilson (12:32:11): Honestly, the perfect ending to this game would be for you to make it to the end and win in a landslide. Cause every round Chencha has imploded in one way or another. And it'd just be such a good story
cassandra franklin (12:33:29): Awh thank you so much <3 <3 You're the best.
cassandra franklin (12:33:50): I honestly wanted to talk to you last round about voting off Shirin because you and I would have a better chance of beating Colby in the final IC
cassandra franklin (12:34:12): But I just wasn't around much yesterday and kept missing you when I was
Alina Wilson (12:35:30): Yeah, I didn't hit the road until late and then was helping the Fam. I'm still there, which is why we're waiting until Monday. I probably wouldn't have done it, but I understand you did what you had to to stay alive. Colby wanted it to tie between his two biggest threats I suppose. I just hope whoever of the two of us wins next round
cassandra franklin (12:37:03): Yeah. It was literally my only chance, he didn't want to vote for Shirin and I couldn't argue it because I knew it was my only chance. I honestly really wanted to go to the end with you but with Colby winning I knew that just wouldn't be an option. ): But I totally hope you win if I go out.
Alina Wilson (12:38:20): I just know you'd win if you got to the end, but like I said I am banking on that now, especially if I don't win. Like one of us needs to win for a good story... :X so please if you win give that IC challenge EVERYTHING you got. Call of work if need be
Alina Wilson (12:38:52): I am flattered that you did want to go to the end with me though
Alina Wilson (12:39:32): You Shirin and Erinn I've really really enjoyed our talks with
cassandra franklin (12:41:29): Awh same here. I really enjoy Shirin but it's frustrating from my point of view when I am fighting every round to see someone not even do the immunity challenge and admit they shouldn't be here, but have everyone still keep them around. I will be kind of annoyed if Colby takes her to the end over either of us, but at that point I would probably even consider voting for her to win lol.
Alina Wilson (12:43:17): Shirin came to me very long time ago. And that's honestly why I've kept her. I think she hams it up, but she works harder than it looks. She won that immunity and has been a real coach through everything, and if Colby does take her to the end I say there are two votes for Shirin and we just need two more to let her win
Alina Wilson (12:44:01): But I'm embarrassed by the fact that Shirin has won more immunities than me !
cassandra franklin (12:46:09): Hahaha yeah you are probably right, she does more than she lets on. I guess I feel that just on a purely social level she hasn't made much of an effort, at least with me, but maybe that's part of the master plan. I guess I can't really speak for how her game is.
Alina Wilson (12:47:32): Noo she totally exiled herself. There was a time when I was positive i was the only person she talked to but then Erinn started to. How has Colby's social game been? With you?
Alina Wilson (12:48:22): I know we voted for each other but I feel like whoever wins deserves it so Itbfeels like an awkward win win
cassandra franklin (12:49:09): Colby is honestly the worst conversationalist I've come across in this game
cassandra franklin (12:49:19): I try so hard, but he is SO one-wordy
cassandra franklin (12:49:36): Then when I played the idol he started responding faster than ever before
Alina Wilson (12:51:12): LOL. Brb, I have to shower but I feel the same way and I've been with him for so long :X he just is always just a word and then it's like "should we not talk?" He can't win!
Alina Wilson (12:51:16): Brb though
cassandra franklin (12:54:07): Okay! And yeah, I just feel like his social game hasn't been great. Like yay good for you, you can win immunities, but socially he hasn't done anything. I just wanted to get to know him but it's hard to get anything out of him.
Alina Wilson (13:15:37): Back! And one of my socks got wet ughhh. I'm writing that down as one of my pet peeves. Yeah, he's very off putting. I wonder what his confessionals are like
cassandra franklin (13:17:51): Hahaha wet socks are truly the worst!!
cassandra franklin (13:18:04): Yeah, I would be surprised to here him say more than a few words lol
cassandra franklin (13:18:34): Nice guy but I think he thinks his game is better than it is :X
Alina Wilson (13:20:06): The FTC would be boring in my opinion. And I feel like his biggest move was pretty late
cassandra franklin (13:22:53): What was his biggest move?
cassandra franklin (13:23:01): Like trying to get you out?
Alina Wilson (13:23:19): LOLA yeah?? It doesn't even feel like one
cassandra franklin (13:24:05): Yeah hahaha def a fail of a big move
cassandra franklin (13:24:48): Like he could have totally had Erinn and I vote you out last round, and that would have been more impressive
cassandra franklin (13:26:13): But better late than never I suppose
Alina Wilson (13:28:04): Yeah! well I don't think he planned on taking me out at all honestly until I voted Erinn. It was going to be me Erinn and Colby from his gameplay and either of us would've beaten him
Alina Wilson (13:28:45): When I asked why he voted me he said
Alina Wilson (13:28:48): Hey! Sorry but I do feel you would bring Shirin over me and last tribal's move was a good one on your part so for me you became a threat
Alina Wilson (13:29:07): It makes sense but still
Alina Wilson (13:29:18): That's the most he's ever said to me brw
cassandra franklin (13:30:14): lmao omg
cassandra franklin (13:31:20): Yeah I don't even know what to say to that
cassandra franklin (13:32:35): Makes sense but like you said, just a little too late
Alina Wilson (13:39:09): I though his only logical move would be to vote you you've done awesome though. And if you won the implosion of Chencha would be too good
cassandra franklin (13:41:11): Hahahah oh gosh I want to win so bad
cassandra franklin (13:41:23): But it'll be bitter sweet because if I lose at least you move on
cassandra franklin (13:41:37): But yeah I think it would be a pretty cool story if I were able to make the final 2 after all of this
Alina Wilson (13:48:13): Yeah, it's very bittersweet. But I agree, I think it'd be the ultimate story if you win but I'm gonna try at the challenge for sure
cassandra franklin (13:49:01): Yeah def try your best! I don't even understand the challenge. Seems like kind of a luck/speed based type things at who can "grab' more letters?
Alina Wilson (13:49:25): I think it's like he posts something like HAHSBDUSNG
Alina Wilson (13:49:28): And we are like
Alina Wilson (13:49:29): H
Alina Wilson (13:49:31): A
Alina Wilson (13:49:32): H
Alina Wilson (13:49:33): S
Alina Wilson (13:49:43): You know? But any letter we want
cassandra franklin (13:52:41): Ah okay
cassandra franklin (13:52:45): Hm that's interesting haha
cassandra franklin (13:54:11): Kind of a speed/luck type thing then, but I am glad it's not like a maze and a puzzle lol
cassandra franklin (14:01:42): Alina I'm going to run to Target, gotta get more groceries haha. It was great talking to you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time with your family. Talk to you soon!
Alina Wilson (14:40:37): Yeah I hated that maze, and puzzle, and every challenge so far. And Yes! Ttys! Have fun at target

Final 3

[Cassandra]

1. What are your thoughts on Alina giving up on the tie-breaker challenge?
I was absolutely shocked that Alina gave up on the TB challenge. We had been discussing how we both were going to try our best and root for the other person if we lost. I thought she really wanted to make final 3. I honestly don't really understand why she quit. As much as I love her now, if she's mad at Colby I honestly think that's ridiculous because she kept him in the dark on the Erinn vote.

2. Talk about rites of passage.
I am really excited for the rites of passage. I am one of the view people in the game who met everyone, with the exception of Ethan lol, but I am looking forward to reflecting on the game and my journey up until this point.

3. Talk about the final immunity challenge coming.
I am beyond nervous for the final immunity challenge. Once again, I know I have to win- I really don't think I can catch any more lucky breaks. However, if Colby wins, I have my arguments ready to go as to why he should take me over Shirin. But if Shirin wins, I definitely am screwed lol. We'll see what happens!

INTERVIEW #2

1. Talk about your challenge loss.

2. Talk about Colby.

3. Talk about Shirin.

4. You talked about having arguments to use as to why he should take you over Shirin. Tell me more about it.

[Cassandra]

I was honestly so heartbroken to lose the challenge. I know it seemed like Colby beat me pretty badly, which he did, but I truly was trying my hardest and ugh it just sucked losing. I know I needed to win this challenge and I was devastated to lose.

I really am grateful to Colby for giving me the chance to make final 3. But he just didn't play a strong social game and I don't know if he realizes that.

Shirin has been kind of in the background for most of the game, but I really think she has played harder than she lets on to.

I truly think Colby should take me to the finals. I mentioned most of my arguments in Tribal Council, and also told him last night. I think that because him and Shirin have played similar games, it's harder for him to compare his game to hers. Shirin has done more, Colby has just won challenges and has played an awful social game. I also feel like the Chencha people loved Shirin and will think it would be a funny ending if she won. It's always easier to put your game next to someone who you can really contrast your game against; I had to fight for my life every round while he very comfortably made it to the end. Yeah my game was impressive, but he can argue that he saved me and I could never find allies, while no one was even targeting him. Blah, I guess that's the gist of it. I just really hope he listens.
