RockOn8896 (8:48:09 PM): oh sry - i got disonnected
RockOn8896 (8:48:16 PM): but are you, rudy, tina & her minions like a f5 deal? or did you just want to get eliza out of here
velva8490 (8:49:06 PM): no i haven't got a final 5 with them. we just all voted for eliza
RockOn8896 (8:50:47 PM): i see
RockOn8896 (8:51:43 PM): cuz i'm in a position where i dont really have a choice other than to stick with you/rudy/gary
velva8490 (8:53:43 PM): i understand. really what i want to do next round is vote for dan since he can't really play anymore and seems to want to be voted off
RockOn8896 (8:55:40 PM): that sounds best for everyone
velva8490 (8:56:22 PM): i think so too. it's the way i'm going to push for

Dan

velva8490 (8:30:14 PM): hey dan
Karkadam Mirror (8:30:26 PM): hey there kathy

velva8490 (8:31:41 PM): that is so fantastic going to Rome. is this with family or through the school
Karkadam Mirror (8:31:55 PM): family which is why i dont want to go
velva8490 (8:33:48 PM): oh. i'm sorry. it sounded like it would have been such a great trip
Karkadam Mirror (8:33:55 PM): lol, not really.
Karkadam Mirror (8:34:05 PM): id rather stay, my family and i dont get along
velva8490 (8:35:53 PM): no way you can talk them into you staying home?
Karkadam Mirror (8:36:03 PM): no, i tried already

Keith

Grkrapper2 (9:13:17 PM): sup
velva8490 (9:14:11 PM): not too much. how about you?
Grkrapper2 (9:15:08 PM): doing aight
Grkrapper2 (9:16:19 PM): that was an intresting events that happend at tc lol
velva8490 (9:19:19 PM): i was really surprised. and confusing. at first there was a post that dan had laid down his torch and would be leaving and eliza staying. then the next time i looked the post was gone and later eliza was voted out
Grkrapper2 (9:19:51 PM): yeah thats what i saw
Grkrapper2 (9:20:04 PM): well i know for sure im voting for dan next since he dont even want to be here
velva8490 (9:21:19 PM): i definitely want to vote for dan. it's no use voting out an active player when someone can't play
velva8490 (9:21:38 PM): i think everyone will be in agreement with this
Grkrapper2 (9:22:14 PM): unless he wins immunity but I highly doutb that will happen
velva8490 (9:22:48 PM): he's leaving for Rome this week so it is very doubtful
Grkrapper2 (9:24:05 PM): and he hasnt done well in the challanges anyway
Grkrapper2 (9:24:22 PM): and he will prolly get a self vote so this is like the easiest vote in the game so far lol
velva8490 (9:25:01 PM): yeah and i think everyone needs some time to get over this last vote. i was surprised at how upset eliza was
Grkrapper2 (9:26:48 PM): yeah its not like she talked to anyone outside her alliance, she actually thought I was rudy the whole time lol
velva8490 (9:27:41 PM): oh you are kidding. we never did talk on aim. it was only pm's
Grkrapper2 (9:28:08 PM): yeah so I dont know why she got mad, she only really talked to like 3 people
velva8490 (9:29:50 PM): well i'm glad that TC is over. it was really stressful seeing her reaction
Grkrapper2 (9:30:20 PM): yeah that is true, i wonder how she will be on the jury
velva8490 (9:32:55 PM): well let's just say i doubt if any of us will get a vote from her if we happen to make the finals
Grkrapper2 (9:33:29 PM): this is true, but as long as one of her group members dont make it she will have to vote one of us lol
velva8490 (9:36:35 PM): then she will give whoever it is a very hard time i'm sure
Grkrapper2 (9:36:44 PM): this is true
Grkrapper2 (9:37:02 PM): but i tell ya one thing, if im in the finals and she gives me crap, im gonna give it right back to her
velva8490 (9:37:30 PM): LOL. that will be fun to watch
Grkrapper2 (9:38:23 PM): cause she didnt know who i was and we have talked like 3 or 4 times before so freakin I dare her to start something lol
velva8490 (9:40:12 PM): maybe she won't know who you are in the finals either
velva8490 (9:41:20 PM):
Grkrapper2 (9:42:56 PM): lol
Grkrapper2 (9:50:52 PM): aight im gonna head out ill catch ya later

Gary

velva8490 (8:21:56 PM): hey
RnnrBrian (8:22:37 PM): K to the A to the THY! What is up chica?
velva8490 (8:23:05 PM): lol. not doing too much right now. how's finals going?
RnnrBrian (8:24:46 PM): They're going okay...although I missed one this morning! luckily the prof is letting me take it tomorrow. I slept through the alarm
velva8490 (8:25:21 PM): you have got to be kidding! thank goodness your prof is understanding
RnnrBrian (8:25:54 PM): I know! I was worried 'cause she doesn't like me that much, lol. But luckily she was cool this morning
velva8490 (8:26:27 PM): why doesn't she like you? you seem to get along with everyone
RnnrBrian (8:28:25 PM): Ha, I think I ask too many questions and talk too much in class! I know, right?
RnnrBrian (8:28:40 PM): the sad thing is I have to take two classes with the same prof next semester
velva8490 (8:29:54 PM): who would figure you to be talkative in class. maybe next semester will be better with her
RnnrBrian (8:31:38 PM): yeah...hopefully. One of the classes is a night class next semester so maybe I won't be as talkative
velva8490 (8:32:57 PM): lol. good luck with the rest of your finals. when are you going to get to go home?
RnnrBrian (8:33:48 PM): Tomorrow night! I'm really excited! Of course...lol, it will be when the challenge comes out, so that kind of sucks. But oh well
velva8490 (8:37:24 PM): hopefully it will be a challenge that can be done later and not be a first come thing
velva8490 (8:37:39 PM): besides i'm hoping this challenge everyone will be pretty safe too
RnnrBrian (8:40:04 PM): That's true. As far as I know, I've only talked to you and Robb and you guys are both okay with voting Dan. So if Dan self votes it'll all be good.
velva8490 (8:41:09 PM): i think that will be the best thing to do. i don't want to vote anyone out who is really interested in the game when there is someone who wants to leave or really can't play
velva8490 (8:41:59 PM): i haven't talked to anyone yet either until tonight. i'm talking with robb & dan now
RnnrBrian (8:44:05 PM): same here. But I'm sure Rudy would go along with it anyway...and same with Rob M., he really seemed to disapprove of the torch laying down thing.
velva8490 (8:45:42 PM): i think they will go along with it. i'm going to push for it anyway. i was surprised at eliza wanting to quit. i thought she would put up a fight
RnnrBrian (8:46:32 PM): I know...I'm not sure what that's all about. I do know she just started hosting a game, so maybe she just got too busy.
velva8490 (8:47:33 PM): i thought maybe she was really hurt or angry about being voted out
RnnrBrian (8:48:58 PM): I think she may be a little. I think she thought everyone was okay with her so it was a shock when she found out she was getting voted off
velva8490 (8:50:08 PM): i was afraid of that. she was just seen as a threat.
RnnrBrian (8:51:33 PM): yeah. I'm sure she'll get over it by the final tc
velva8490 (8:51:47 PM): i hope so
RnnrBrian (8:52:49 PM): mmhmm. She DID tell me something though (before she left) that I wanted to talk to you about...
RnnrBrian (8:53:36 PM): she told me that people had "pretty much told me that you're going going home next after me." I was wondering if you had heard anything of that sort
velva8490 (8:54:39 PM): who is you're?
RnnrBrian (8:55:26 PM): oh, she was talking to me. She said that people had pretty much told her that I was going home after her.
velva8490 (8:55:44 PM): i have not heard your name mentioned at all
velva8490 (8:56:00 PM): and besides that i would refused to vote that way
RnnrBrian (8:56:59 PM): yeah. I'm thinking she had heard that from Rob M. and that gang...because I think she only really talked to him about the vote out of everyone. Him and Rudy.
RnnrBrian (8:57:17 PM): I dunno, I guess it could be possible that Rudy told her that...meh, I'm not sure.
velva8490 (8:57:35 PM): i don't think she & rudy talked that much
velva8490 (8:57:44 PM): but i could be wrong
velva8490 (8:58:21 PM): i'm not sure who would have told her that
RnnrBrian (9:00:07 PM): *shrugs* yeah, you're right. It was probably Rob M. or Keith if anybody. I think I burnt some bridges with Keith last round because before the immunity challenge I had told him that he was being targeted next (cause that's what Rudy talked about) so I warned him about it.
RnnrBrian (9:00:21 PM): soooo, lol, I don't think he likes me that much anymore
velva8490 (9:04:19 PM): i didn't know that. rudy didn't say anything to me about targetting keith
velva8490 (9:05:08 PM): or at least i don't remember
velva8490 (9:07:27 PM): but i haven't talk to rudy here lately since he has been taking his finals
RnnrBrian (9:08:28 PM): well, I know that the reason that Rudy wants Keith gone is because the 3 of us had played a game together like a year or two ago, and Keith ended up backstabbing Rudy...and kind of me as well, but not as much as Rudy. So Rudy I think wants revenge
velva8490 (9:10:36 PM): i find that really interesting. i am very curious to see if he will try to get revenge
RnnrBrian (9:11:47 PM): well, i don't think it's so much revenge as just me and him both know that Keith is a really smart player. He's very....I dunno, what's the word, convincing? He's a good talker. And he's smart. I don't know if you've ever played with him before, have you?
RnnrBrian (9:12:06 PM): sorry all my messages are so long, I seem to be kind of wordy tonight, lol
velva8490 (9:13:57 PM): no that's ok. i have played with keith in a few games. i know he is someone you have to be very careful with. he is a very good player and sneaky
RnnrBrian (9:19:16 PM): Mmmhmm. I like him though, he's fun to talk to...but not so fun to compete against, lol
velva8490 (9:20:13 PM): yeah. i like him too but a tough competitor
velva8490 (9:25:51 PM): i'm talking to him now. he is going to vote dan this round too
RnnrBrian (9:28:31 PM): okay, cool beans! well, at least we'll have a round to figure out what we're gonna do then.
velva8490 (9:30:31 PM): yeah and i think we all need that
RnnrBrian (9:32:59 PM): well, as far as the "fake pretending you hate you by voting for you" plan goes...I've just been telling everyone I've voted for you. I think Tina fell for it and thinks we don't get along, but I'm not sure about the others.
velva8490 (9:33:55 PM): only rudy knows you & i work together
velva8490 (9:34:34 PM): i think it was a good plan voting for me
velva8490 (9:35:58 PM): although it did make me feel sort of weird seeing my name lol. even though i knew you were voting for me
RnnrBrian (9:38:05 PM): mmhmm. I'm always anxious at TCs when I'm reading the votes and I know people are voting for me and see my name come up...but I also know I ain't going. Still, it's a nervous feeling.
velva8490 (9:38:38 PM): yeah because you never know if everything is on the up and up
RnnrBrian (9:43:31 PM): yeah. No worries, though. EVERYONE loves you! lol no one ever brings up your name.
velva8490 (9:45:45 PM): thanks! i hope it stays that way. but we'll all probably be a target sooner or later. after dan leaves we will be down to the final 7. can you believe that?
RnnrBrian (9:49:58 PM): I know! I've been kinda thinking about how the dynamics will be...i kind of see Tina/Keith as a pair, you/me/Rudy as a pair that no one knows about...and Robb and Rob M. as free agents. Except I see Robb more with us and Rob M. more with Keith/Tina. What do you think?
velva8490 (9:54:20 PM): i think robb is sort of out there by himself now and would like to work with the 3 of us. i'm not sure who rob m is with if anyone but he gets along well with people and i think he could work with a lot of people. i'm guessing keith is working with tina & rob but not sure if they are aligned
velva8490 (10:09:12 PM): well i'm going to have to call it a night
RnnrBrian (10:10:12 PM): mmkay, have a good one Velv! sorry I didn't talk that much, am working on a web project
velva8490 (10:11:03 PM): oh you talked plenty haha. good luck with your project
velva8490 (10:11:23 PM): oh and have a safe trip home
RnnrBrian (10:13:35 PM): gracias chica! hopefully someone comes to pick me up, lol
velva8490 (10:13:50 PM): surely they will!
velva8490 (10:14:47 PM):
velva8490 (10:14:56 PM): good night!

PM to Gary
Hi! I just wanted to let you know I originally gave you 5000. But then I saw your question and decided to change it so as not to reveal our alliance. That is if we are allowed to changed. So you are equal with everyone else.

PM to Gary
Congrats on winning immunity! You're so popular.

Have you heard anything more about the vote? Rob M is the only one on right now and he says it is supposed to be for Dan. I haven't talk with anyone since I talked to you, Robb, and Keith the other night about voting for Dan.

PM From Gary
LMAO, that's so weird, I did the same thing! I was like. "well, it will be kind of bad if I'm pretending not to be alligned with Kathy, vote for her, and then give her $5000 dollars, haha!"

PM to Rudy
It seems like it has been a long time since I have talked to you. I hope you did really good on your finals.

I've talked with Gary, Keith, and Robb a couple of nights ago and with Rob M tonight about the vote. Everyone says they are voting for Dan since he is going to be gone for 10 days in Rome and cannot be active in the game.

How do you feel about voting for Dan?

Rob M

KCLadyLee (11:49:00 PM): it's ok....it's only me and Eddie this year and of course tabitha
KCLadyLee (11:49:15 PM): the pyscho kitty
velva8490 (11:50:36 PM): LOL. i love cats & dogs. it's a good thing too since we have 3 cats & a dog. why's your kitty pyscho? what kind of crazy things does she do?
KCLadyLee (11:52:06 PM): she ricochets from halway up the walls for one thing
KCLadyLee (11:52:16 PM): she runs thru the house as if she is possessed
KCLadyLee (11:52:37 PM): the vet says she has a high red blood cell count which makes her a little hyper
KCLadyLee (11:52:47 PM): or um energetic as he put it
KCLadyLee (11:53:09 PM): so she's not the typical sleep 22 hours out of 24 cat lol
velva8490 (11:54:29 PM): i bet she is so fun to watch. mostly our just sleep or hunt mice. sometimes one of our cats plays with the dog. nothing near as exciting as what your kitty does
KCLadyLee (11:57:06 PM): ours is the queen bee for sure
KCLadyLee (11:57:13 PM): shes an Ocicat
KCLadyLee (11:57:21 PM): so not typical to begin with
velva8490 (11:59:43 PM): i wasn't sure what kind of cat that was so i had to look it up. they are really unusual. almost wild looking
KCLadyLee (12:00:14 AM): yeah
KCLadyLee (12:00:20 AM): she's adorable tho
velva8490 (12:00:25 AM): i bet so
KCLadyLee (12:02:08 AM): she's a great lap warmer lol
velva8490 (12:05:47 AM): i love that about a cat. although our dog gets jealous and runs them off our lap lol
KCLadyLee (12:09:08 AM): lol
KCLadyLee (12:09:17 AM): Tabby loves dogs
KCLadyLee (12:09:25 AM): she rubs and rubs on them adn licks tehm
KCLadyLee (12:09:38 AM): our friends dog jsut stands there looking so pained lol
KCLadyLee (12:09:43 AM): covered with cat spit
KCLadyLee (12:10:06 AM): you feel sorry for the dog
velva8490 (12:10:51 AM): LOL
KCLadyLee (12:11:20 AM):
KCLadyLee (12:13:29 AM): how are you liking the game so far?
velva8490 (12:15:25 AM): i've really enjoyed playing again. i had stopped for 7 months and wasn't going to play anymore. but dennis talked me into playing. i'm glad he did
velva8490 (12:15:40 AM): are you having fun?
KCLadyLee (12:18:43 AM): yeah
KCLadyLee (12:19:03 AM): I'm like you I had pretty much stopped playingbut Dennis kept nagging me
KCLadyLee (12:19:08 AM): it's been fun again
velva8490 (12:20:22 AM): yeah i like the pace it's been played. it's not too fast and gives me time to do other things and still have fun playing without stressing out too much
KCLadyLee (12:20:52 AM): I agree but the challenges are kind of repetitious
velva8490 (12:21:34 AM): yeah they are sort of the same.....a lot of posting
velva8490 (12:22:05 AM): i liked that puzzle one. although it was really hard
velva8490 (12:22:45 AM): the last game i was in was extremely hard and liked to have killed me
KCLadyLee (12:22:49 AM): oh my it made my eyes cross lol
KCLadyLee (12:22:57 AM): but I love puzzles
KCLadyLee (12:23:09 AM): it's the posting challenges that are killing me lol
velva8490 (12:24:03 AM): you are at a disadvantage because you don't get to come online as early as the rest of us. especially if it involves speed
KCLadyLee (12:29:01 AM): yeah the earlyt challenges are tough with speed but hey I'm hanging in there lol
KCLadyLee (12:29:31 AM): he changed the wordin gin this last challenge after I had already submitted my entry so it's all out of whack
KCLadyLee (12:30:13 AM): I guess it's time to ask the burning question.....
KCLadyLee (12:30:27 AM): is everyone voting Dan this round because he wants to leave?
KCLadyLee (12:30:45 AM): I knew he wasn't into the game when I got stuck withhim and Ace together
KCLadyLee (12:30:52 AM): he told me he didn't care
velva8490 (12:31:29 AM): he's going to be in rome for 10 days and will not be active. but his heart never has really been into the game.
KCLadyLee (12:31:38 AM): I know
velva8490 (12:32:04 AM): so far rob m, gary, robb, keith, and myself are voting for him
velva8490 (12:32:56 AM): i think he is fine about being voted out. although he did leave a vote list instead of self-voting
velva8490 (12:33:28 AM): so unless people changes their minds i think he is who people are voting for
KCLadyLee (12:37:47 AM): that's what I've heard so I'm going to vote that way and hope it's true
velva8490 (12:39:00 AM): to me that's the best way to go and let the active and interested players stay in the game
KCLadyLee (12:40:30 AM): I agree I like a game with interested people it's m,uch mor echallengeing
KCLadyLee (12:43:16 AM): my typing has gone downhill tonight
velva8490 (12:43:29 AM): i do too. it's frustrating when people are inactive or don't show up.
velva8490 (12:43:57 AM): lol on the typing. it's a wonder mine is not worse. i can barely keep my eyes open
KCLadyLee (12:48:14 AM): yeah I need to get to bed pretty soon
velva8490 (12:49:00 AM): me too. my dog is giving me dirty looks lol
KCLadyLee (12:49:56 AM): I'm surprised Tabby isn't n here trying to get my attention too
KCLadyLee (12:50:16 AM): she'll be here shortly bec I heard my hubby turn off the tv in the other room
KCLadyLee (12:50:22 AM): which means he's headd for bed
velva8490 (12:51:41 AM): my hubby always goes to bed before me. he's more an early bird and me the night owl
KCLadyLee (12:52:00 AM): same here
KCLadyLee (12:52:20 AM): which is goofy bec I actually have to be at work earlier than he does lol
velva8490 (12:55:16 AM): i really believe it's how your system is made up. i've always have wanted to stay up late. unfortunately i have a job which i have to be early at which messes me up
KCLadyLee (12:55:49 AM): same here
KCLadyLee (12:56:01 AM): I'm a true night owl always have been
velva8490 (12:58:49 AM): weekends i can be my true self
KCLadyLee (1:00:34 AM): my weekends are monday tuesday
KCLadyLee (1:00:55 AM): and I'm on waaaaay into the wee hours sunday & monday nights
KCLadyLee (1:01:09 AM): tuesday I have to get ready for another week at work lol
velva8490 (1:03:10 AM): that would be hard to get use to or plan things with other people
KCLadyLee (1:03:42 AM): it is but the good news is that my hubby has the same two days off
KCLadyLee (1:04:03 AM): I chose a schedule that would give us as much time togethre as possible
velva8490 (1:05:14 AM): oh that is really great! my hubby & i work at the same place & eat lunch together and only a couple of cubes from each other. so no problem there about seeing him lol
KCLadyLee (1:10:37 AM): oh wow that is so cool
KCLadyLee (1:10:45 AM): we have totally different jobs
KCLadyLee (1:10:52 AM): on different ends of the city lol
KCLadyLee (1:11:15 AM): but we ahve the evenings together plus our days off
velva8490 (1:13:26 AM): that's great. it's good to have time with your hubby
KCLadyLee (1:13:57 AM): it is
KCLadyLee (1:14:23 AM): we've worked together before and it's really not our best "thing" but time off together is good
velva8490 (1:15:51 AM): i do draw the line about us riding to work together. i like having time to myself in the car
velva8490 (1:17:57 AM): well i guess i had better call it a night.
KCLadyLee (1:19:13 AM): lol to the car yeah I like my own "drive" time
KCLadyLee (1:19:19 AM): g'nite
velva8490 (1:19:43 AM): good night!

Gary

RnnrBrian (12:40:01 AM): Hey! just got your pms, replied to one. As far as I know the vote hasn't changed. I'm voting for Dan
velva8490 (12:40:50 AM): good. that's who i want to vote for. tina is also voting for him since i last pm you
RnnrBrian (12:41:21 AM): yeah, that's what she told me as well. I think everyone's told me except for Rudy that they were voting for Dan
velva8490 (12:42:27 AM): same here. i haven't talked to rudy for a few days now. but i would assume he would vote the same
RnnrBrian (12:42:58 AM): yeah...I REALLY hope he doesn't self vote. He didn't do the challenge, so it could be a possiblity
RnnrBrian (12:43:23 AM): and if he self-votes twice, he's out of the game
velva8490 (12:44:32 AM): he hasn't been on the game board since Thursday night
velva8490 (12:45:06 AM): i'm hoping he is just busy with finals and will become more active when they are over
RnnrBrian (12:45:43 AM): yeah...I'll text him tonight just to tell him to make sure to vote. His finals should be over though, it's Friday. Hmm
velva8490 (12:45:58 AM): i sent him a pm this evening too
velva8490 (12:50:21 AM): it's frustrating when someone you work with is not around to discuss things with
RnnrBrian (12:51:49 AM): Mmmhmm. Agreed. Although....I DO think he's a good person to allign with in that I doubt he's making any relationships with other people. It makes me feel like he's a great person to bring far with us.
velva8490 (12:53:58 AM): i agree. i really don't think he is talking to too many people and just comes online every now and then. he is someone good to work with. although you are someone great to talk strategy with. it's nice to be able to talk things out
RnnrBrian (12:56:14 AM): I know! Same here. I feel like you are the ONLY one I ever talk strategy with. The other ones I'm pretty much afraid to talk anything game related with them 'cause I just don't trust them, ya know?
velva8490 (12:57:18 AM): i know. i always have to be so careful what i say. except this round is so much easier because everyone seems to be in agreement to vote for dan
RnnrBrian (12:59:31 AM): Mmmhmm. I always get really nervous when I talk to Tina or Keith. Cause I KNOW they're itching to try and pull me over with them, and I don't wanna be put in the situation where I'm the asshole who is all high and mighty and refuses to work with them, ya know? With Rob M. It's easier because he avoids talking about the game with me.
velva8490 (1:01:27 AM): it's very hard to just out & out say no to an alliance or something like that
velva8490 (1:01:43 AM): i hate to be put in that spot
RnnrBrian (1:03:21 AM): mmhmm. I guess it's my own fault. I enjoy talking to people too much, lol! Sometimes I feel like it would be easier if I only talked to people I'm alligned with, "The Amanda strategy" I call it, lol, after Amanda on Survivor. She didn't talk with people she wasn't alligned with.
velva8490 (1:04:08 AM): you are definitely not an Amanda lol
RnnrBrian (1:09:29 AM): I know, I'm probably more of an Eliza! the one that won't. shut. UP!
velva8490 (1:12:23 AM): no. you are just very social in a good way
RnnrBrian (1:13:35 AM): lol, likewise amiga! I think we share that strength...the only problem with that strength is in the end, no one wants to take us to the finals *eye roll*
velva8490 (1:15:10 AM): that is true. or get voted out because you are a social threat
velva8490 (1:17:38 AM): well i'm going to have to call it a night
RnnrBrian (1:20:59 AM): mmkay, night Kath! Oh, and one more thing...I talked to Robb a few days ago, and I kinda bounced around the idea of hooking up with the old Monterricos at the final 7, and he seemed very open to that.
RnnrBrian (1:21:27 AM): so that's always something we can think about, going in that direction, I mean.
velva8490 (1:22:20 AM): yeah. that might work. i think he would like to work with us
velva8490 (1:23:09 AM): that would be 4 of us. and give us majority
RnnrBrian (1:24:20 AM): mmhmm, agreed. We'll just have to see what happens next round. Anyway, night!
velva8490 (1:24:36 AM): good night! and congrats!
velva8490 (1:24:48 AM):
