Convos: Episode 9

[Gary Hogeboom]

"Keith" (9:04:59 PM): what up yo
RnnrBrian (9:05:21 PM): Hola! just working on a paper. And yourself?
"Keith" (9:05:35 PM): just chillin playin some poker online
RnnrBrian (9:06:00 PM): heh, gotcha. I've never got into that but I've heard it's horribly addicting
"Keith" (9:06:14 PM): yeah it is lol
"Keith" (9:06:56 PM): so the tc went real well and was quite intresting lol everyone and their mother voted for amber
RnnrBrian (9:08:04 PM): I know...I was expecting it to be a LOT closer. Like honestly I was expecting it to be like an almost tied vote
RnnrBrian (9:08:13 PM): errr. or I guess 6 to 5 vote
"Keith" (9:08:45 PM): lol true that but facing reality amber was a huge threat at challanges
RnnrBrian (9:09:28 PM): yeah, I agree. I had a conversation with her earlier today. She was pretty mad she was leaving.
"Keith" (9:10:23 PM): yeah she usually goes get mad when she be getting voted off
"Keith" (9:12:07 PM): i was at my gfs over the weekend so i didnt have much time to talk with peeps
RnnrBrian (9:12:17 PM): yeah...so I gathered, lol. Lots of yelling.
RnnrBrian (9:12:22 PM): ^about Donna
RnnrBrian (9:13:37 PM): oh, gotcha. I was working and then coming back home today so I only was able to talk to people for short periods of time...the vote was already between Amber and Eliza when I first got online. I'm not sure who decided those people were up on the chopping block though
"Keith" (9:14:23 PM): yeah i dont know who decided that either lol, i think eliza came from amber and from the looks of it everyone was thinking amber lol
RnnrBrian (9:15:53 PM): haha, so true. I had heard from someone that Matty had brought Eliza's name up, and then today Amber told me that Rob M. had brought her name up. So meh, I'm not sure. But agreed on the fact that everyone was thinking Amber.
"Keith" (9:16:40 PM): dude her and kathy are obviously the 2 powerhouses at the challanges, i mean its one thing to win one, but to go 24 hours for one lol crazy shit
RnnrBrian (9:18:36 PM): I know. Hopefully all the challenges aren't like that, heh. It'd be nice to, I dunno, at least win ONE challege. But I usually do a pattern where I do awesome in the team challenges and then I start SUCKING once the individual ones come along.
"Keith" (9:19:08 PM): lol i hear ya man
RnnrBrian (9:22:05 PM): ugh, sorry I'm being slow to respond. my roomate's dog keeps attacking me. Ugh, I just looked and the next challenge is Tuesday. Ugh, I have a nice class then
"Keith" (9:22:22 PM): damn thats sucks
RnnrBrian (9:23:45 PM): lol, the dog or the challenge? yeah, they both suck, lol
"Keith" (9:24:09 PM): lol yeah both
"Keith" (9:27:19 PM): man i cant belive the finale is already sunday for survivor
"Keith" (9:27:35 PM): i would think with 6 peeps left there should at leasat be 3 more episodes not 2
RnnrBrian (9:29:02 PM): I know...it's that new stupid 5 person finale thing. Who are you rooting for?
"Keith" (9:29:38 PM): well i picked crystal to win from the beginning so i have to stick with the horse i picked
RnnrBrian (9:30:47 PM): lol! Well, I think it's a possiblity....I mean she has more of a chance than who I'm rooting for....I'm rooting for Susie. But I think she has like the least chance out of anyone left, ay yi yi
"Keith" (9:31:41 PM): lol i hear ya on that, then again she did save kennys whole alliance by switching, but that is all she has done so far
RnnrBrian (9:32:18 PM): mmhmm. And the way they're showing her is like...not a winner's edit. I think she'll be in the final 3 though.
"Keith" (9:33:12 PM): i dont know man, im predicting kenny to go next
"Keith" (9:33:58 PM): i was right the past 6 TCs so my guess is if kenny dont win immunity then hes done, i think there will be some crazy switch up and like sugar and bob pair up
RnnrBrian (9:35:57 PM): Yeah, I kind of think so too. I don't really see Kenny winning with all his bragging. I used to like him but now he's gotten too cocky
"Keith" (9:36:35 PM): thats how all gamers get lol my roomate was a gamer like him
"Keith" (9:36:49 PM): and he was always cocky especially when he was winning
RnnrBrian (9:38:45 PM): I wonder if he'd be like that at the final TC...but I think he's a little too smart for that.
RnnrBrian (9:39:12 PM): Also, did you see that marriage proposal last episode? How embarrassing, I was kind of cringing
"Keith" (9:39:21 PM): lol that was the worst
"Keith" (9:39:42 PM): matty was a tool for doing that lol, tyring to be like rob and amber
RnnrBrian (9:41:54 PM): Hee, I think so too...actually I think he had good intentions but it just turned out so emotional and it was kinda like "...I don't think I should be watching this, it's too intense."
"Keith" (9:42:44 PM): it would have ben funny if she said no
RnnrBrian (9:43:56 PM): or, like..."Ummmm, I have to think about it. Stop clinging to me, I can't breathe"
"Keith" (9:44:13 PM): lol i would have said treated!!!
RnnrBrian (9:45:31 PM): He probably would have quit. Which is just as well. I think he's a good person, but not a good player.
"Keith" (9:45:58 PM): yeah he is prolly the worst player out the people left, only thing he has is the challanges
"Keith" (9:46:11 PM): and bob is definetly underestimated for sure
RnnrBrian (9:47:50 PM): yeah. I actually didn't like Bob until the last two episodes. I still would rather he not win though...I'd be okay with any of the girls winning though.
"Keith" (9:48:30 PM): yeah he really dint play the game except for the fake idols lol thats the only thing he has going for him
RnnrBrian (9:49:49 PM): mmmhmm. But I bet if he made the finals he would totally win. I think the jury is gonna be REALLY bitter.
"Keith" (9:50:09 PM): yeah i hear ya on that, especially randy lol
RnnrBrian (9:53:15 PM): mmhmm. and Corrine. And I bet Marcus will be bitter too...and same with, like, Ken or Crystal if they end up being on the jury.
"Keith" (9:56:50 PM): i agree fo sure
"Keith" (9:57:28 PM): aight man im gonna split so i catch ya later, good talkin with ya
RnnrBrian (9:58:00 PM): mmmkay, adios amigo!
"Keith" (9:58:26 PM): aight peace man
"Keith" went away at 9:58:37 PM.

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (9:29:18 PM): Hey! Congrats on surviving tc!
"Tina" (10:02:04 PM): yes :0
"Tina" (10:02:26 PM): thanks for the heads up on the way the vote was headed
RnnrBrian (10:03:52 PM): oh, no problem. I was surprised it was unanimous! I thought it was gonna be a really close vote
"Tina" (10:04:38 PM): yeah the unanimous really surprised me too
RnnrBrian (10:06:05 PM): yeah...I also made the mistake of telling Amber I was voting for her. she kinda flipped out. *eye roll*. I thought I was being nice but obviously I wasn't, I guess, lol
"Tina" (10:08:08 PM): uh oh
"Tina" (10:08:48 PM): however.. if you tell her straight out rather than lie to her she is much more inclined to forgive you at some point
"Tina" (10:08:59 PM): lie and your on her sh*t lsit forver
RnnrBrian (10:09:29 PM): lol "....or so I've heard."
RnnrBrian (10:09:51 PM): I'm glad she at least made the jury though.
"Tina" (10:12:17 PM): yeppers
RnnrBrian (10:17:53 PM): also, did you see Matty's TC answer? I couldn't tell if he was being really bitchy or that's just his personality. He's still the only one I haven't talked to yet...I should PM him.
"Tina" (10:22:29 PM): hmmm I have to go read it
"Tina" (10:22:38 PM): he's usually pretty mellow
RnnrBrian (10:23:10 PM): I dunno if I have the wrong SN on my buddy list or what but I never see him online.
"Tina" (10:29:29 PM): he's on really late at night
"Tina" (10:29:40 PM): Iusually just see him thru pm's
RnnrBrian (10:30:25 PM): oh, gotcha. I'll just try and PM him then. Ugh, my roomate's dog is being SO annoying right now! lol.
"Tina" (10:33:36 PM): what's it doing?
"Tina" (10:33:42 PM): messing with the kitty?
"Tina" (10:34:14 PM): oh dear.. is it you or Blake that has the kitty?
RnnrBrian (10:34:32 PM): lmao, no, it's not me. I don't have any pets, just my roomate's dog
"Tina" (10:34:44 PM): ahhh then it's Blake with the kitty
"Tina" (10:34:54 PM): you have the coldest room in the world
RnnrBrian (10:35:12 PM): lmao, is that how you've kept us straight all this time?
"Tina" (10:35:36 PM): I try to remember the special things about everyone I meet
RnnrBrian (10:36:17 PM): Sherry= drinks margaritas late into the night.
RnnrBrian (10:36:23 PM): lol, I guess I do the same thing
"Tina" (10:36:34 PM): lol yes she has been known to do that
"Tina" (10:36:50 PM): tonight it's Disaronno
RnnrBrian (10:37:43 PM): Oh! That's like a liqueur thing, right? I've seen it where I work, but I've never tryed it.
RnnrBrian (10:37:48 PM): *tried
"Tina" (10:37:58 PM): it's amaretto
"Tina" (10:38:07 PM): it's nice to sip
RnnrBrian (10:40:06 PM): ah, gotcha. It's sweet then, right? I love sweet stuff, the sweeter the better.
"Tina" (10:49:59 PM): yes sweet )
"Tina" (10:50:07 PM): try it on the rocks sometime
"Tina" (10:50:18 PM): it's ice cube licking good
RnnrBrian (10:50:54 PM): Lol! I will have to try it. I honestly think the closest thing I've ever had to it is probably Baileys
"Tina" (10:53:16 PM): close but no cigar thisis soooo much better lol
RnnrBrian (11:04:49 PM): hee. I'm sure it is. I really haven't had much experience with all the shnapps and liqueur stuff yet. maybe it's time to start!
RnnrBrian (11:04:55 PM): errr, after finals, that is.
"Tina" (11:05:34 PM): or not it's ok now and again
RnnrBrian (11:06:06 PM): haha,
"Tina" went away at 11:32:26 PM.

RnnrBrian (4:08:24 PM): Heya!
"Robb" went mobile at 5:41:52 PM.
IMs will be sent to your buddy's mobile device as text messages. Learn more about Mobile IM.
"Robb" returned at 6:00:20 PM.
"Robb" (6:11:36 PM): whats up gary
RnnrBrian (6:12:15 PM): oh, not much, not much. Just thinking about what I'm gonna eat for dinner, lol. How goes the challenge?
"Robb" (6:13:11 PM): i spent a couple hours on it last night - then i just sent it in with a few guesses
"Robb" (6:13:29 PM): you?
RnnrBrian (6:14:45 PM): Pretty much the same, although i sent it in last night. I think I got about...meh, maybe 13 right. And there are some that I pretty much think I guessed wrong at now.
"Robb" (6:15:09 PM): yeah - the first one looked impossble
RnnrBrian (6:15:38 PM): I know! I went with....ugh, *goes to look* hold on, lol
"Robb" (6:15:48 PM): hahaha
"Robb" (6:16:12 PM): ok
RnnrBrian (6:17:20 PM): I went with Joel, and my reasoning behind it is it kinda looks like the person has a tatoo on their shoulder
RnnrBrian (6:17:40 PM): oh, hey...are we supposed to PM our answers to the Ian guy or the Jeff Probst guy?
"Robb" (6:18:00 PM): jeff
"Robb" (6:18:10 PM): and yeah i put joel too
RnnrBrian (6:18:22 PM): oh shit! lmao, sooo, I guess I'm gonna be handing it in right now!
"Robb" (6:19:36 PM): naw i'm sure i got some others wrong too
RnnrBrian (6:20:12 PM): What did you get for 20? (just handed mine in). I put down Brandon but I'm pretty sure it wasn't him.
"Robb" (6:21:10 PM): its penny
RnnrBrian (6:21:45 PM): That's a GIRL?
RnnrBrian (6:21:50 PM): lol, crap!
"Robb" (6:21:51 PM): lol yeah
RnnrBrian (6:23:33 PM): The only other ones I kind of had no clue who they were are...6, 13, and 18 (the other ones I'm pretty sure I at least have a guess in a write direction)
RnnrBrian (6:24:23 PM): I had um...6-Julie, 13-Helen (which I KNOW is wrong), and also 18-Shii Ann (which I'm pretty sure is wrong as well, and that bugs me 'cause that purple shirt seems so familiar).
RnnrBrian (6:24:40 PM): *right direction
"Robb" (6:26:16 PM): uh...for 6 i put brooke, 13 i put jerri, and i dont remember what i put for 18
"Robb" (6:26:22 PM): but i remember it drove me crazy
RnnrBrian (6:27:23 PM): I know! I'm pretty sure it's some older woman though. I originally had put Trish (from Pearl Islands down) but changed it to Shii Ann at the last minute.
"Robb" (6:28:24 PM): yeah *shrugs*
RnnrBrian (6:29:31 PM): anyway, how's your week going? Mines been STRESSFUL! Lots of papers due, and finals are next week for me...*shudder* If it weren't for Redbull I would have fallen down dead a long time ago.
"Robb" (6:30:03 PM): lol yeah same here
"Robb" (6:30:06 PM): i'm totally beat
RnnrBrian (6:30:52 PM): how many finals are you taking?
"Robb" (6:34:33 PM): 3
RnnrBrian (6:35:32 PM): Ah gotcha. I'm takin' 5...although one's more of a presentation than an actual final, I think.
"Robb" (6:36:17 PM): yikes man
RnnrBrian (6:38:52 PM): I know. The good thing (or bad thing depending on how you look at it) is that the way my finals schedule worked out all my finals are crammed together into 3 days instead of spread out throughout the week. For me it's a good thing 'cause i feel like it's better to just get it over with.
"Robb" (6:42:36 PM): yeah thats true
"Robb" (6:42:48 PM): mine are toward the end...so i have to suffer it out
RnnrBrian (6:48:16 PM): And then CHRISTMAS BREAK! Woo, I'm kind of excited for that, I must say. Although I'll be working through most of it...but at least I don't have to worry about school for a little while.
"Robb" (6:50:43 PM): yeah i feel you
"Robb" (6:50:47 PM): school never ends
RnnrBrian (6:53:33 PM): mmmhmm. How many years do you have left? I might have asked you this for, but I think I forgot
RnnrBrian (7:03:05 PM): oh, just letting you know...Keith is trying to work me right now into jumping sides a little...I'm just kinda trying to talk around it.
"Robb" (7:06:04 PM): oh yeah - he's talkin to me too
"Robb" (7:06:07 PM): he hasnt brought anything up
"Robb" (7:06:22 PM): but i'm guessing he's gonna try lol
"Robb" went away at 7:06:36 PM.
RnnrBrian (7:07:14 PM): probably...the only thing I've promised him is that I wouldn't write down his name at this TC...but if worse comes to worse I'm with you guys and if I have to write down his name I will.


Auto Response from "Robb" (7:07:14 PM): brb


"Robb" returned at 7:57:42 PM.

RnnrBrian (5:10:40 PM): Hola! How goes the challenge?
"Rudy" (5:10:52 PM): Not good
"Rudy" (5:10:59 PM): I have not had time to do it
RnnrBrian (5:11:21 PM): Ugh, that sucks.
RnnrBrian (5:11:49 PM): I did it last night...but I didn't really do that hot. I figured out like half of them and guessed on the rest.
"Rudy" (5:12:00 PM): better than me
"Rudy" (5:12:06 PM): I hate to cut this shrot,but I have to get to class
"Rudy" (5:12:08 PM): statistics
RnnrBrian (5:12:18 PM): gross. Well, have fun!
"Rudy" (5:12:25 PM): always!
"Rudy" went mobile at 5:12:42 PM.

[Gary Hogeboom]

"Keith" (6:36:42 PM): sup man
RnnrBrian (6:37:38 PM): Hola!!! Hey you, haven't talked to ya in awhile? How goes the challenge?
"Keith" (6:38:02 PM): challanges goes no where
"Keith" (6:38:07 PM): lol so not going good
"Keith" (6:38:13 PM): how have you been
RnnrBrian (6:39:56 PM): STRESSED OUT. To the max. Next week is finals, and this week I have a bunch of papers due. Yeah, and same with me on the challenge. I just handed mine in, I think I have only a little more than half right, lol
"Keith" (6:41:40 PM): lol same with me man
"Keith" (6:42:53 PM): so hey man i wanted to know if u had thoughts on making an alliance. I havent really talked to that many people so far and prolly feel the tightest with you. What u think about that
RnnrBrian (6:46:36 PM): Hmm. Well, you know I'm always pretty honest with you..and I'd honestly have to say I'd have to think about it. Just because I'm not really sure where alliances stand with everyone right now...everyone's been so QUIET! I also think I'm probably not gonna be the best person to make an alliance with 'cause I think my name's gonna be coming up on the chopping block soon.
"Keith" (6:47:12 PM): what really? who did u hear that from cuase I havent heard anything. Like u said its been too freakin quiet lol
RnnrBrian (6:49:58 PM): Well...I've just been a little paranoid because of the way things went down last round, with Amber leaving at all. I honestly think the people who performed well in the Tribal phase are gonna be up on the chopping block. Especially because everyone's trying SO HARD to fly under the radar, ya know? Anyone who appears to stand out 'cause of strength is gonna be targeted, I think.
"Keith" (6:50:41 PM): well in that case kathy is in trouble lol especially after the last challange
"Keith" (6:52:04 PM): im thinking if we can find some people that we can trust and form a good bond then you and I can be safe
RnnrBrian (6:52:30 PM): I know...people like me or Kathy...or probably Eliza and the Robs...I think we're all gonna be up on the chopping block. And others like Matty I feel are just gonna be coasting for awhile.
"Keith" (6:54:11 PM): the wierd thing is with everyone can be so quiet its wierd how a consensus can be drawn up on who to vote out, cause someone has to be deciding who goes and who stays
RnnrBrian (6:56:33 PM): well, it's only been one vote so far...and with that one I think that EVERYONE generally felt that Amber needed to go. I heard from some people that Amber brought up Eliza's name...but Amber told me (before she left) that Rob M. brought up Eliza's name. I'm not sure if I believe her though.
"Keith" (6:57:13 PM): nah Amber sent me a pm saying to vote Eliza
RnnrBrian (6:57:35 PM): I think we're gonna be seeing (if not this round) the powerplayers coming out in maybe another round or two. I feel like right now everyone (myself included) feels like there's so many people that it's easy to try to slink in the background.
"Keith" (6:57:55 PM): especially with the 11 person merge that happened
"Keith" (6:58:58 PM): what im thinking is that we chill this TC round and make sure neither one of us is on the block then when it goes to 9 we can find 3 people we can trust and have a 5 person alliance
"Keith" (7:00:01 PM): what are your thoughts on that?
RnnrBrian (7:02:10 PM): well, like I said, I'd have to think about it. Because to be quite honest I feel like right now the game may be shaking up to be Miraflores against Monterrico. And I don't want to put myself in a situation where I piss a bunch of people off by jumping sides, ya know? If I find myself in the right situation, I'd be totally down with working with you though.
"Keith" (7:02:58 PM): yeah thats cool, which is why I want to see how this vote plays out before making that alliance
RnnrBrian (7:04:20 PM): mmhmm, agreed. For now I can tell you for sure though that I ain't writing your name down at this coming TC though. And i'll let you know if I DO hear your name come up.
"Keith" (7:04:50 PM): agreed man I will do the same
"Keith" (7:10:40 PM): u check out the IC results
RnnrBrian (7:10:54 PM): *goes to check*
RnnrBrian (7:11:58 PM): Oh, just saw them! Lmao, and I thought I had gotten at least half! lol
"Keith" (7:12:19 PM): lol i thought i definetly did better then freakin 1
RnnrBrian (7:14:22 PM): omg, one? Lol...okay, that's a LITTLE funny, hee, I can't lie.
"Keith" (7:14:44 PM): dude man i thought i did a shit load better im pissed, the only one i got right was Jenn
"Keith" (7:16:36 PM): anyways man i gotta split so ill catch y alater
RnnrBrian (7:16:50 PM): mmkay. I'll PM ya if I hear anything about the vote
"Keith" (7:17:04 PM): aight cool thanks man
"Keith" (7:17:05 PM): peace

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (7:47:08 PM): hey...did you see the results?
"Rudy" (7:47:18 PM): not yet
"Rudy" (7:47:23 PM): Kathy? You?
RnnrBrian (7:48:49 PM): goooo check it out! or do you want me to just tell you?
"Rudy" (7:48:58 PM): lol just tell me
RnnrBrian (7:49:04 PM): mmkay. Robb won
"Rudy" (7:49:24 PM): thats good....really good
RnnrBrian (7:50:39 PM): mmmhmm. As far as the vote..well, I've just talked really only to Kathy and Eliza about it, and I think the vote is shaping up to be Matty. I guess he is targeting Kathy
"Rudy" (7:50:54 PM): yeah, I would be open to that
"Rudy" (7:50:59 PM): maybe taking out Keith next
RnnrBrian (7:52:02 PM): mmmkay. Keith approached me for an alliance earlier today. I told him I'd think about it, and just promised him that I wouldn't write his name down this round. But I'd be fine with voting him out next round.
"Rudy" (7:52:23 PM): I think we need to break him and tina up
RnnrBrian (7:53:17 PM): Yeah, agreed. Or just get him out in general. He's smart and he makes me nervous sometimes.
"Rudy" (7:54:03 PM): better sooner than later
RnnrBrian (7:54:40 PM): Agreed. But for right now (unless things drastically change) I think my vote's gonna be for Matty.
"Rudy" (7:55:44 PM): yeah, that is where I am leaning to
RnnrBrian (7:58:33 PM): The only thing is that Eliza feels that Matty has a lot of friends in the game so it may be hard to get him out.
"Rudy" (7:58:52 PM): how many votes we need? six?
"Rudy" (7:58:55 PM): then yeah, it may be
"Rudy" (7:59:04 PM): we may see a repeat of last round
RnnrBrian (8:00:55 PM): well...Eliza also told me before she left that she thinks Rob M. would vote with us. And I think I could get Robb to vote our way as well if I talked to him about it.
RnnrBrian (8:01:03 PM): so that would be at least 6, I guess.
"Rudy" (8:02:01 PM): I am pretty certain that Robb will vote with us
RnnrBrian (8:03:57 PM): cool beans.
"Rudy" (8:04:16 PM): and now we start 24 hours of tense waiting, voting, and arguing lol
RnnrBrian (8:07:39 PM): *eye roll* agreed. That's why I hate the final half of the game. I'd rather just have it be a team competition all the way through
RnnrBrian (8:13:30 PM): well, I'm gonna go have supper, but I'll talk to ya later tonight.
RnnrBrian (8:13:37 PM): if need be, I mean
"Rudy" (8:13:40 PM): ok, I should be around
"Rudy" (8:13:44 PM): if not PMs
RnnrBrian (8:13:49 PM): mmhmm, adios

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (7:07:43 PM): Hola chica! How'd you do on the challenge?
"Kathy" (7:08:11 PM): terrible. i'm not good at this kind of challenge. how about you?
RnnrBrian (7:08:56 PM): Lol! I think I got maybe HALF of them right...wait, I counted, and I think I have at least 14 right. I guessed on the rest.
"Kathy" (7:09:21 PM): i think that is really great! better than i did
RnnrBrian (7:10:40 PM): I know! WHAT did you put for number 1??? I was like "urm...a shoulder? Are you for real?" I ended up putting Joel
"Kathy" (7:11:05 PM): i left it blank. the results ar up
"Kathy" (7:11:35 PM): it was mikey
RnnrBrian (7:12:12 PM): Oh, just saw them! So Robb won, eh?
"Kathy" (7:12:21 PM): yep
"Kathy" (7:12:30 PM): i did better than i thought i would
RnnrBrian (7:13:17 PM): hah, I did WORSE than I thought I would! I was like "well, I got at LEAST 15 points.." lol!
"Kathy" (7:13:40 PM): well 9 is good too
RnnrBrian (7:15:02 PM): mmmhmm, agreed. Ugh, and now TCs rolling out again...any thoughts on the vote?
"Kathy" (7:16:37 PM): well personally i would rather it be someone who hasn't been very active. but i figure it will be someone who is seen as a threat. your thoughts?
RnnrBrian (7:17:56 PM): The same! Honestly...if I'd throw out direct names, I'd be open to voting for Matty or Rob M.
"Kathy" (7:18:38 PM): i've never spoken to matty or even seen him around
RnnrBrian (7:20:56 PM): mmhmm. I've communicated though PMs with him, and he says he doesn't use AIM that much.
"Kathy" (7:21:42 PM): that's the way i talk with eliza
"Kathy" (7:21:51 PM): she almost won too
RnnrBrian (7:24:26 PM): mmmhmm! I'd be annoyed if I was her, haha! So maybe it was a good thing I did so badly, hee.
"Kathy" (7:26:08 PM): lol. i really didn't want to do very good since i won the last one. but i didn't need to worry. lol. this was the best i was able to do
RnnrBrian (7:27:46 PM): I know. I also have a feeling I'm gonna be doing HORRIBLE on the challenges for the next week or two...it's getting close to finals (next week) and I'm not gonna be around as much as I'd like to be, lol
RnnrBrian (7:30:40 PM): oh! TC is already up!
"Kathy" (7:36:25 PM): have you talked to eliza yet
RnnrBrian (7:37:33 PM): yeah, I have. she's not giving me any really concrete answers though...although from talking to her I don't think she's open to voting off Matty or Rob M., who are the only people that I WOULD be open to voting for! lol
"Kathy" (7:40:24 PM): maybe keep this quiet for the time being. she said that matty thinks my alliance is getting to much power. she said it seems he wants me out sorta. but eliza said if she could help me to let her know
RnnrBrian (7:42:43 PM): yeah, she just said the same thing for me! lol, and in my head I was like "okay...and who the hell does he think is in Kathy's alliance? Certainly not the majority."
"Kathy" (7:44:03 PM): mainly my alliance is you & rudy
"Kathy" (7:44:24 PM): and whatever connections there may be
"Kathy" (7:45:01 PM): who did she say to you matty wanted out: you or me?
RnnrBrian (7:45:31 PM): you. But then I asked her if she'd be open to voting Matty out and she said she would be.
"Kathy" (7:54:58 PM): she told me maybe matty would be a good option but then he probably has friends & may backfire
RnnrBrian (7:56:48 PM): well, I think if worse comes to worse it would be a tie-vote.
"Kathy" (7:57:38 PM): well we'll just have to hope for the best
"Kathy" (7:58:01 PM): rudy has no problem voting matty
RnnrBrian (7:58:57 PM): yeah, he told me that as well.
RnnrBrian (8:00:03 PM): Eliza did just tell me that she's pretty sure Rob M. would vote with us though. I'm not so sure, but she seems to think so.
"Kathy" (8:00:46 PM): that would be 5 votes
"Kathy" (8:01:15 PM): i'm not sure how tight their tribe was
"Kathy" (8:01:31 PM): but they did all back down & vote out amber
RnnrBrian (8:01:49 PM): I also think I could talk to Robb when he comes online and make it 6
RnnrBrian (8:02:44 PM): Honestly, I'm not really sure why they did. I think it may have been because one of them (maybe Keith or Tina or someone) didn't wanna align with Amber and the rest of them didn't wanna stand out.
"Kathy" (8:02:50 PM): rob m and i talk pretty good together. but i'm not sure if he would go against any alliance he may have
"Kathy" (8:03:32 PM): tina & amber are usually on opposite sides
"Kathy" (8:04:03 PM): keith told me he just received pm's as to who to vote. he wasn't around Sunday for the vote chats
"Kathy" (8:04:33 PM): i figured no one wanted to stand out
RnnrBrian (8:04:56 PM): yeah...Keith told me that Amber had sent him a PM to vote Eliza. I had also sent him a PM telling him who I was voting 'cause I told him I would.
"Kathy" (8:05:37 PM): i think keith would go with the crowd
"Kathy" (8:06:25 PM): winning that challenge may have put a target on my back
RnnrBrian (8:08:19 PM): Ugh, I think it may have as well! But no worries, you have enough social connection that I don't think it'll matter in the end.
"Kathy" (8:08:45 PM): i hope so
"Kathy" (8:09:14 PM): we'll jsut have to see
RnnrBrian (8:13:14 PM): mmhmm. Well, i'm gonna go see what's for supper! lol, I'll be online later tonight though
"Kathy" (8:14:12 PM): have a nice meal! i'll be up for a little while
RnnrBrian (8:14:23 PM): mmkay, cool, adios
"Kathy" signed off at 10:31:25 PM.

[Gary Hogeboom]

"Eliza" (7:17:07 PM): Nearly won >.<
RnnrBrian (7:17:29 PM): Ugh, I just saw! I did WAY worse than I thought I was gonna do, lol


Auto Response from "Eliza" (7:17:29 PM):


"Eliza" (7:18:05 PM): Lol, I only filled in 12 and then looked on CBS and found a few more
RnnrBrian (7:18:06 PM): sorry you didn't win though.
"Eliza" (7:18:26 PM): It's cool
"Eliza" (7:18:33 PM): I fully expect to go this time though lol
RnnrBrian (7:19:17 PM): what? No...I don't think so. I think we could easily get Kathy and Rudy on our side...and we'd just need one more person.
"Eliza" (7:19:34 PM): Rob M would!
RnnrBrian (7:20:27 PM): mmkay. I DO think we could possibly shift the vote to Matty, just 'cause he's never around on AIM, so he does't have that strong of relations with everyone else. Just an opinion though. Your thoughts?
"Eliza" (7:21:12 PM): Matty's got a few friends in the game and if we mentioned his name to the wrong person it'll backfire
RnnrBrian (7:23:13 PM): yeah... agreed. I know at least that Dan is friends with Matty. And I'm guessing some people from Miraflores are closer with him than they'd let on.
"Eliza" (7:24:11 PM): He seems to want Kathy out too
RnnrBrian (7:26:20 PM): Really? Meh, I've never really talked strategy with Matty...just had like ONE PM convo with him.
"Eliza" (7:27:08 PM): Yeah, he told me that he didn't want Kathy's alliance getting too much power
RnnrBrian (7:29:15 PM): Lol, Kathy's "alliance"...I think I'm considered part of that alliance to him. That's probably why he doesn't talk to me that much.
"Eliza" (7:30:07 PM): He seems to be pretty honest with me and always tries to keep me informed so if I find something out I'll let you know.
RnnrBrian (7:30:29 PM): mmhmm. On the other hand...wasn't he gunning for you at the last TC though?
"Eliza" (7:30:54 PM): Apparently now, he said he convinced some of the others not to vote for me.
"Eliza" (7:31:00 PM): apparently not*
RnnrBrian (7:32:31 PM): Ah, gotcha. Oh! TC is already up!
"Eliza" (7:33:19 PM): mhmm
RnnrBrian (7:34:55 PM): Lol, I wish I would get softball questions like Dan always seems to get, lol
"Eliza" (7:35:04 PM): haha!
RnnrBrian (7:41:29 PM): Well, I'll let you know if I hear anything about the vote. Honestly...I feel like I'm open to voting for either Matty or Rob M., but from the sounds of it you aren't open to voting for either of those people. So I think we'll just have to talk to some of the others and see where their heads are at.
"Eliza" (7:42:48 PM): I'm open for voting for Matty!
"Eliza" (7:42:52 PM): But not Rob M!
"Eliza" (7:43:01 PM): That kid is great lol
RnnrBrian (7:43:30 PM): Oh yeah! I was thinking you guys would get along 'cause of the law connection, lol
"Eliza" (7:43:46 PM): I've played a game with Rob M before and he's 100% honest.
"Eliza" (7:43:49 PM): Haha that aswell!
RnnrBrian (7:48:16 PM): mmkay, that's cool. For me personally, the only reason I'd be open to voting for him is 'cause while he seems like a nice guy I really have the least connection to himout of anyone else (besides Matty). But if you don't wanna vote him out that's cool with me!
"Eliza" (7:49:00 PM): He doesn't really know many people in this game :[
RnnrBrian (7:52:37 PM): Oh, gotcha. That's probably why he's been so quiet, doesn't wanna make any waves, ya know? I can understand that.
"Eliza" (7:55:06 PM): and he's having a bad time at the moment
"Eliza" (7:55:22 PM): Kathy PM'd me and she's gonna wait to see who the target is and go from there
RnnrBrian (7:57:35 PM): Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I'm gonna wait til Robb comes online and get his thoughts on the situation
"Eliza" (7:57:54 PM): But Rob M will probably vote with us.
"Eliza" (7:58:03 PM): So atleast that's 5
"Eliza" (7:58:27 PM): Me, you, Kathy, Robb and Rob
"Eliza" (7:58:32 PM): So we're halfway haha
"Eliza" (7:58:48 PM): anyway I gotta shoot!
"Eliza" (7:58:49 PM): Ttyl!
RnnrBrian (7:59:10 PM): mmkay, I'll PM ya if anything important comes up.
RnnrBrian (7:59:29 PM): oh, and Rudy just told me he'd vote for Matty as well, so that's majority
"Eliza" (7:59:36 PM): Oh cool!
"Eliza" (8:01:20 PM): I'll PM you if I hear something!
"Eliza" signed off at 10:31:26 PM.

RnnrBrian (7:53:35 PM): Heya!
"Dan K." (7:54:30 PM): hi
RnnrBrian (7:55:50 PM): how goes it, what's new? I've had a pretty "off" day today. Came home from class and just slept all afternoon?
"Dan K." (7:55:51 PM): how are you?
"Dan K." (7:55:57 PM): had a shitty day tbh
RnnrBrian (7:56:13 PM): eww. Why?
"Dan K." (7:56:38 PM): issues with my parents, im not sure if want to talk about it, sorry
RnnrBrian (7:57:56 PM): oh no worries. It's not any of my business anyway.
"Dan K." (7:58:21 PM): thanks
RnnrBrian (8:03:32 PM): well I'll leave ya alone then tonight, hope ya feel better tomorrow. And I'll PM ya if I hear anything, like, concrete about the vote.
"Dan K." (8:03:58 PM): no its fine, i am fine with talking just not about it
RnnrBrian (8:06:36 PM): oh, gotcha. Well, as of right now I've just talked to a few people about the vote, and everyone's being kinda vague about it, like I think it's because no one wants to stand out or anything like that.
"Dan K." (8:06:45 PM): hm, thats lame
RnnrBrian (8:09:09 PM): I've KINDA heard that a few are leaning towards voting Matty though. I think I kind of am too. It's just 'cause I talk to him the least.
"Dan K." (8:09:48 PM): i dont talk too much to him either
RnnrBrian (8:10:40 PM): mmmhmm. I sent him A PM earlier this week, and just got a short reply back. He said he doesn't go on AIM that often.
"Dan K." (8:11:06 PM): he told me the same when i asked
RnnrBrian (8:12:41 PM): hmm. Well, as of right now I think I'm gonna be voting for him, but I still am gonna try and talk to some other people and see where their heads are at. I'm gonna go have supper, but I'll be back on later tonight. I'll probably talk to ya if you're still around.
RnnrBrian (8:13:55 PM): hasta luego!
"Dan K." (8:14:07 PM): alright, see ya

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (10:53:55 PM): Hey, I got some more info from ya...just got back from my supper and read some PMs
"Dan K." (10:54:10 PM): hey, whats up?
"Dan K." (10:54:13 PM): how did supper go?
RnnrBrian (10:54:51 PM): It went good! lol, i had lean cuisine (it's like a low fat TV dinner) Spaghetti and meatballs
"Dan K." (10:55:19 PM): cool
RnnrBrian (10:56:42 PM): oh, about the pms...I got one PM from Eliza and another from Kathy...it seems that Matty and his gang are targetting you for some reason....
"Dan K." (10:57:00 PM): really? hm
"Dan K." (10:57:07 PM): i am not even a bit threteaning haha
RnnrBrian (10:57:30 PM): Eliza says that it's because they think you me and Kathy have an alliance, and Kathy PMed me and said that they were targetting you because they think you me and Eliza are in an alliance together.
RnnrBrian (10:57:42 PM): I know, right?
RnnrBrian (10:58:04 PM): I mean, lol, sorry, didn't mean that to offend you, but it's not like you've been a challenge monster thus far, ya know?
"Dan K." (10:58:16 PM): yeah non taken
"Dan K." (10:58:22 PM): im not even that smart either, its dumb
RnnrBrian (10:58:25 PM): I thought they would have targetted me Kathy or Eliza
"Dan K." (10:58:59 PM): kathy told me she was the target...
RnnrBrian (10:59:55 PM): I know, that's what she told me as well when I was online before. Eliza had told us both that Matty was targetting Kathy. Then when I logged on after dinner I got a PM from Kathy saying that Matty PMed her saying that they were targetting you.
RnnrBrian (11:00:02 PM): lol, sorry if that sounded confusing
RnnrBrian (11:00:20 PM): Eliza had PMed me the same thing though, that Matty had told her that they were targetting you.
"Dan K." (11:00:46 PM): ah
"Dan K." (11:00:52 PM): well that sucks
RnnrBrian (11:02:25 PM): yeah... I can try talking to some people though. I mean, I'm pretty sure Eliza and Kathy aren't going to be voting with you...and Rudy's told me the same as well...I could probably try PMing Robb about the vote as well. Meh, just an option.
"Dan K." (11:03:11 PM): like you mean for us to vote all together?
"Dan K." (11:03:13 PM): that would be cool
RnnrBrian (11:03:53 PM): yeah, I'm pretty sure we could get all of them to vote for Matty.
"Dan K." (11:05:06 PM): kathy told me she would vote matty with me earlier .)
RnnrBrian (11:06:41 PM): Cool Eliza has told me the same. She also said she could get Rob M. to vote with us as well but I'm not sure how well I believe that, lol. I don't talk enough to him to know if I could trust him or not, ya know? And also, Rudy said he would vote Matty.
"Dan K." (11:07:02 PM): yay! thanks :*-d
RnnrBrian (11:08:35 PM): mmmhmm. Ya know, for never being online Matty sure has caused quite a stir! And I've still never talked to the guy!
"Dan K." (11:09:40 PM): lol yeah
"Dan K." (11:09:42 PM): stupid matty
"Dan K." (11:24:10 PM): gtg
"Dan K." (11:24:18 PM): thanks a lot for your help brian. i truly appreciate it.
RnnrBrian (11:24:40 PM): mmkay, and no problem. Adios! I'll PM ya if anything important happens
"Dan K." (11:24:51 PM): thank you.
"Dan K." (11:24:59 PM): sorry i just dont want my father to find me here or hell freak out again
RnnrBrian (11:25:12 PM): oh, no worries, I've been there, lol

"Robb" (12:04:05 AM): hey gary - sorry i bolted earlier
RnnrBrian (12:04:33 AM): oh, no problem. Congrats on winning immunity!
"Robb" (12:06:11 AM): lol thanks
"Robb" (12:06:14 AM): i'm shocked
RnnrBrian (12:06:43 AM): Imao, I was shocked at myself as well, but only because I did so bad! You and Eliza did awesome though
"Robb" (12:11:34 AM): thanks, i just got really lucky
RnnrBrian (12:12:26 AM): Ha, well good job anyways. Sooo, have you heard anything about the vote? I'll tell ya what I know if you've heard anything different.
"Robb" (12:12:45 AM): i've heard a total of zero things
RnnrBrian (12:13:06 AM): what?? No one's PMed ya or anything?
"Robb" (12:13:18 AM): oh wait - i do have a PM lol
"Robb" (12:13:19 AM): hold on
"Robb" (12:13:28 AM): ok
"Robb" (12:14:06 AM): eliza told me to vote matty
RnnrBrian (12:14:42 AM): yeah....here's what's been going down (based on what I've heard and all)
RnnrBrian (12:16:17 AM): Matty has told Eliza that he and some other people are going to target Dan K. (I know, right?) because he thinks that me him and Kathy are in an alliance. He has also sent a PM to Kathy saying that he and some others are gonna target Dan K because he thinks that me him and Eliza are in an alliance.
RnnrBrian (12:16:36 AM): lol....wtf? I don't think either Kathy or Eliza TALK to Dan all that much!
"Robb" (12:17:19 AM): lol
RnnrBrian (12:18:41 AM): However...what I think is happening is Matty and some others are targetting either me or Kathy, and trying to get some other people to vote Dan K. so our vote is split. 'cause I don't see why they'd target Dan K. in the first place, ya know?
"Robb" (12:19:09 AM): yeah that makes sense
"Robb" (12:19:33 AM): all right - well i'm obviously with you guys, so matty it is
"Robb" (12:20:09 AM): but, i don't approve at all of the way eliza sent me that PM, so i'm a bit annoyed with her
RnnrBrian (12:21:34 AM): yeah...I think she has been talking to Matty and Rob M. and telling them a little more than I'd prefer that she would. Because Kathy told me that Matty's pm said that Eliza was trying to include him "in as the fifth person in her alliance"
RnnrBrian (12:22:14 AM): So it's like....Eliza, keep it on the down low, right? Don't go flouncing the fact that you have people alligned with you when they don't even have the majority, ya know?
"Robb" (12:22:53 AM): right
"Robb" (12:23:46 AM): well, i think we're ok for this vote - and if we get a majority, i want to hold onto it...
"Robb" (12:23:52 AM): but i'm putting eliza on thin ice in my book
RnnrBrian (12:24:06 AM): I also think (based on what she's told me) that Eliza wants Rob M. in a final four with us.
RnnrBrian (12:24:36 AM): which I'm not really okay with based on the fact that I never really talk to Rob M.
"Robb" (12:24:58 AM): agreed
"Robb" (12:25:14 AM): she's definitely been acting funky
RnnrBrian (12:27:38 AM): ....meh, also (I didn't want to tell you this before because I didn't know how close you were with Eliza) when I was on San Antonio, Sherea had told me that Eliza had conversations with her about taking me out. So she's been on thin ice with me for awhile...since like the Dan B. vote.
"Robb" (12:27:56 AM): ah really?
"Robb" (12:28:31 AM): thats unfortunate
RnnrBrian (12:30:18 AM): Yeah. However, I think she's okay with me for the moment 'cause she needs me for her vote. I do think you and me need to keep our options open in case we catch her wheeling and dealing though.
"Robb" (12:30:48 AM): definitely
"Robb" (12:31:09 AM): we might want to tighten things up a bit with kathy
RnnrBrian (12:31:53 AM): I agree. I do think Kathy is pretty close to Rudy though, so if we tightened things with her we'd have to also bring in Rudy as well
"Robb" (12:32:01 AM): right
"Robb" (12:32:23 AM): which could get sticky since it would be 2 v 2 once it came down to the end
RnnrBrian (12:33:40 AM): Mmmhmm. Well, we'll just have to think about it. I honestly don't see many other options...maybe Dan K., but I also feel like he's not active enough to be reliable. I have an okay relationship with him though.
"Robb" (12:34:01 AM): agreed
"Robb" (12:34:20 AM): well - like you said - i just think we stay patient and keep our options open
RnnrBrian (12:37:20 AM): mmmhmm, totally agreed. I do know that Kathy and Rudy have both told me that they think you're pretty cool though. So if we ever had to work that angle I think we could make it work
"Robb" (12:37:51 AM): fantastic
RnnrBrian (1:39:55 AM): well, I think I'm gonna hit the hay. Night! I'll pm ya if anything important happens.
"Robb" (1:40:06 AM): all right perfect
"Robb" (1:40:08 AM): g'night
