[Gary Hogeboom]

Keith" (12:34:27 AM): sup man
RnnrBrian (12:35:22 AM): hey. Just got online like 5 minutes ago.
"Keith" (12:35:36 AM): nice, u check the tc results
RnnrBrian (12:36:13 AM): yeah, I just saw them. Congrats on survivin!
"Keith" (12:37:05 AM): more congrats to you man, i had really thought u were majority thats why i voted you cause i was told from rob m tina kathy and rudy that they were voting you
"Keith" (12:37:21 AM): lol apparently only tina was doing it so that really made me look stupid
RnnrBrian (12:39:13 AM): That sucks, I thought they would at least tell you. I was nervous looking at the results because, ya know, I was being told two different things so I thought there would be a strong chance that I was going.
"Keith" (12:40:17 AM): thats what i thought was going on, i dont know who was telling rob that rudy was the vote cause i kept hearing it was you which is why i told you, i think kathy was telling us different things
"Keith" (12:42:04 AM): and who the heck knows what rudy is doing, kathy said that rudy was going to vote you but would get back to me on that but never did. rudy hasnt done any of the last few challanges and i havent talked to him since last week lol i think kathy is the only one that talks to him
RnnrBrian (12:44:43 AM): I've communicated with him through PMs...and through his texts on phones, I guess.
"Keith" (12:45:32 AM): yeah its just that is kinda annoying with him and that and also that he hasnt even done the past 2 challanges
RnnrBrian (12:48:59 AM): Yeah, I totally agree. I'm not sure why he hasn't done the last two challenges or at least put in the effort.
"Keith" (12:54:25 AM): from what rudy told me the last time i talked to him is that you him kathy and robb had an alliance thing going
"Keith" (12:54:55 AM): Rudy" (1:44:31 PM): You see, I thought I had a pretty tightalliance wtih Robb, Kathy and Gary, not so sure now
"Keith" (12:54:58 AM): that is what he had said
RnnrBrian (12:57:50 AM): hmm. Well, honestly, I do have an alliance with them, and I'm planning on sticking with them.
RnnrBrian (12:58:04 AM): I'm sorry, but I really feel like it's the best way I can get to the finals.
"Keith" (12:58:51 AM): ahh but 4 people cant make the final 2, someones is going to get screwed
RnnrBrian (1:02:29 AM): lol, no crap! I just have to hope it isn't me. But really, for now I think I'm committed to sticking with them. And that's probably a more honest answer than you'll get from the other 3, ya know?
"Keith" (1:03:51 AM): i just hope your right man, i would hate to be voted off 6th or 5th and then you get screwed in the final 4 or 3
RnnrBrian (1:07:56 AM): yeah, same. And I WILL let you know who I'm going to be voting for in future TCs...I know y'all don't have to tell me, but I don't like blindsides, so I will let you know through PM or whatever. I told Rob M. the same thing.
"Keith" (1:08:17 AM): alright cool thanks
RnnrBrian (1:15:08 AM): I can't believe the next challenge is gonna take place during freaking Christmas Eve and Christmas! I like JUST saw that!
"Keith" (1:15:21 AM): yeah i know crazy right lol
"Keith" (1:18:11 AM): aight man im gonna head off to bed so ill catch ya later
RnnrBrian (1:18:31 AM): mmkay. Happy Christmas Eve!
"Keith" (1:18:42 AM): you too man thanks! keep it real

"Rob M." (12:32:53 AM): whassup bro
RnnrBrian (12:33:24 AM): Hey. just got online like 5 minutes ago


Auto Response from "Rob M." (12:33:24 AM): I am away from my computer right now.


"Rob M." (12:33:34 AM): hey congrats on the TC!
RnnrBrian (12:34:04 AM): thanks, you too! congrats on surviving
"Rob M." (12:34:17 AM): thanx but it looks like Im not long for this game
RnnrBrian (12:35:02 AM): *eye roll* Crap changes every round though. Look what happened this round!
"Rob M." (12:35:49 AM): true ya never know whats gonna happen but this is the first time all game I've been the only one to vote for somebody at TC that doesnt bode well for me
RnnrBrian (12:37:21 AM): Did the others all tell you that Rudy was going? 'cause Keith had told me via PM that I was the one going.
"Rob M." (12:37:35 AM): I was told it was supposed to be Rudy
"Rob M." (12:37:40 AM): I cant believe everyone fooled me
"Rob M." (12:39:02 AM): I hate being left out of the loop
"Rob M." (12:40:15 AM): at least you were honest with me about who you were voting I will remember that
RnnrBrian (12:41:21 AM): Ugh, don't worry, I've been there (out of the loop). I think it's lame anyway to lie to someones face especially about a vote that's gonna be appearing for everyone to see, ya know?
"Rob M." (12:41:35 AM): yea what the hell is the point of that?
"Rob M." (12:41:42 AM): I hate being around a bunch of snakes
"Rob M." (12:42:08 AM): if I can get u to the finals somehow I will now that I see youre the only one who is honest in this game
RnnrBrian (12:43:46 AM): Ugh, lol, believe me, I'm not a saint, and I do decieve at times. I just usually take the path of being as honest as you can while still trying to get to the end, ya know? But I will be as honest with you as I can be.
"Rob M." (12:44:04 AM): thanx I appreciate it
"Rob M." (12:44:24 AM): I wish the others would be more honest
RnnrBrian (12:47:15 AM): Meh. Well, they're just trying to play the game. I know, stupid thing to say, but true. I just think the votes are like...like I understand lying about voting if there's a hidden immunity idol involved,...but if there's not, well, I hate being blindsided, so I don't like blindsiding people. I let Tina know I was voting her...I don't think it did any good though, she's still pretty mad at me.
RnnrBrian (12:47:21 AM): i think anyway
"Rob M." (12:47:58 AM): I dont think shes mad about u voting her she said u tricked her on the IC so she was upset about that
RnnrBrian (12:49:18 AM): how did I trick her?
"Rob M." (12:49:28 AM): she said u told her it was ok to use Kim J
"Rob M." (12:49:33 AM): and thats why she lost
RnnrBrian (12:49:43 AM): um....no I didn't. *goes to check the convo*
"Rob M." (12:49:48 AM): lol
"Rob M." (12:49:56 AM): it didnt sound like something you'd do
RnnrBrian (12:50:50 AM): okay, found it...here's what I said:
RnnrBrian (12:51:09 AM): "Tina" (12:30:07 AM): yeah plus that's a good question.. if we can use kim J woo hoo\
RnnrBrian (12:30:47 AM): yeah, Dennis PMed me back and told me I can just use Kim. Not the J. I'm not sure why he didn't post that in the challenge
"Rob M." (12:51:37 AM): oh she must have misread it
RnnrBrian (12:51:38 AM): maybe she misunderstood me.
"Rob M." (12:51:43 AM): she said u told her she could use Kim J
"Rob M." (12:51:47 AM): and that ruined everything
"Rob M." (12:51:57 AM): it was probly a misunderstanding
"Rob M." (12:53:00 AM): well if theres anyway my vote can help u get to the finals just lemme know cuz Im pretty much flying solo at this point
"Rob M." (12:54:40 AM): at this point Im just gonna keep voting for whoever doesnt talk to me unless I hear otherwise
RnnrBrian (12:55:41 AM): gracias. Really though, I WILL let you know what will be going down at each TC, at least on who I'm planning on voting. I won't be able to speak for the others, but I'll always send you a PM. Seriously, i will.
"Rob M." (12:56:08 AM): thanx I really appreciate it Im glad someone will keep me in the loop around here
RnnrBrian (12:59:32 AM): well, if it helps you any, I don't think that Keith or Tina decided to vote for me until after I had PMed them that I was voting for Tina. so that may have been after you voted, and that's why they changed their vote and you weren't aware of it. I think Rudy and Kathy both told them that they were voting for me as well.
"Rob M." (1:00:06 AM): why did Rudy and Kathy say they were voting for u?
"Rob M." (1:00:12 AM): I dont get why everyone lies except us
"Rob M." (1:02:57 AM): those 2 assholes set u up
"Rob M." (1:03:14 AM): I was wondering why everyone said they wanted u or Rudy out last round it made no sense
RnnrBrian (1:04:10 AM): I'm not quite sure (about Kathy and Rudy saying that)...I think maybe they were just trying to lead you guys off the trail that they were gonna vote for Tina. I actually didn't know that the vote was going to go Tina's way until I logged on after work tonight.
"Rob M." (1:04:33 AM): they never said anything to me
"Rob M." (1:04:39 AM): I figured I was the one going all along
"Rob M." (1:04:45 AM): but you assured my name hadnt come up
"Rob M." (1:04:56 AM): and you told me the truth
RnnrBrian (1:11:47 AM): well, what was I supposed to do? lie and then vote you off? I'm not an asshole, haha! I don't like playing like that... I've even tried to, but I'm not good at it. I was actually gonna try and play like that during this game for a change...but once the pressure started hitting me I crumbled, lol.
"Rob M." (1:12:50 AM): LMAO I know what ya mean
"Rob M." (1:13:11 AM): I just figured since Dan voted me it would put the idea in everyones head to vote me out next
RnnrBrian (1:14:19 AM): lol, 'cause people totally have listened to Dan *eyeroll*, haha. I think he lost all credibility with everyone when he tried to lay down his torch.
"Rob M." (1:15:12 AM): haha that was a wacky idea of his
RnnrBrian (1:19:23 AM): So, meh, switching to better things...did ya convince your fam to go to Xcaret?
"Rob M." (1:19:58 AM): lol Im still workin on it
"Rob M." (1:20:06 AM): the problem is its supposed to rain the next 2 days
"Rob M." (1:20:42 AM): I dont think they are into the show though they havent been too high on the Mexican dancing we've seen down here so far
"Rob M." (1:20:58 AM): I just wanna go to the amusement park it sounds fun
RnnrBrian (1:23:14 AM): Hell, it rains every day there though! it's the end of the rainy season, and it's the tropics! and really, by "rain" means it's just gonna rain off and on, with the sun coming in and drying everything in like 5 minutes. Anyway, just don't make them use the weather as an excuse, lol
"Rob M." (1:23:33 AM): well Friday is gonna be sunny
"Rob M." (1:23:41 AM): so I was hoping to go then so they cant complain
"Rob M." (1:23:50 AM): otherwise they will just bitch and wanna leave early
"Rob M." (1:24:22 AM): I didnt realise this was rainy season
"Rob M." (1:24:33 AM): it kinda ruins the beach when its all rainy and windy lol
"Rob M." (1:24:41 AM): the first few days were beautiful
RnnrBrian (1:27:26 AM): well, it's just the end of it, so it's not gonna be raining all that much, lol! yeah, in Mexico (at least in Guadalajara, but I think it's the same climate stuff as Cancun) there was a rainy season that was in the summer and the beginning of September...I think over in the Yucatan the rainy season is October-December, but I'm not sure...that's why no one ever goes to Cancun in the fall.
"Rob M." (1:28:18 AM): lol I had no idea I dont remember it raining last year when I was in Playa Del Carmen but it might have been Jan or Feb when I flew down here last time
"Rob M." (1:29:26 AM): I think Im gonna go to the flea markets tomorrow in the rain lol
RnnrBrian (1:33:01 AM): ah, those are so much fun! But they're a maze too, I always got lost in them. Plus they usually all speak English in cancun, so that's good for ya, lol. Er, or wait, do you speak Spanish?
"Rob M." (1:33:26 AM): not enough lol
"Rob M." (1:33:34 AM): I took 1 year of itnroduction to Spanish
"Rob M." (1:33:45 AM): it was for idiots who sucked at learning another language
"Rob M." (1:33:49 AM): haha
"Rob M." (1:34:00 AM): but youre right most people do speak english here
"Rob M." (1:34:02 AM): which is great
RnnrBrian (1:36:02 AM): I know! my fam was like "oh good, now that you learn spanish we can go on vacation in Mexico!" And I was all "um, you don't NEED to speak spanish to go to a resort, duh"
"Rob M." (1:36:30 AM): haha good thing they have you to set them straight
RnnrBrian (1:41:20 AM): lmao, I didn't know about it either when I first got to Mexico. I went to Puerto Vallarta thinking "cool, now I'll understand everyone!" Annd....no one wanted to speak spanish with me, haha. They would always reply in English.
"Rob M." (1:41:44 AM): haha I didnt know either till I got here ya live and ya learn I guess
RnnrBrian (2:35:58 AM): well, I'm gonna head off to bed, I have to work tomorrow, ugh. Have a good night! and merry christmas eve!
"Rob M." (2:36:04 AM): thanx Merry Xmas bro
"Rob M." (2:36:07 AM): have a goodnight

[Gary Hogeboom]

"Kathy" (11:51:33 PM): Merry Christmas!
RnnrBrian (11:51:53 PM): Feliz Navidad Ms Velva!
RnnrBrian (11:51:56 PM): How are ya?
"Kathy" (11:52:18 PM): good. we had a nice Christmas. how about you?
RnnrBrian (11:53:19 PM): Good! I...well, I had to work, but afterwards me and my sister went to a friends house for dinner, and now we're watching episodes of the Office, lol
"Kathy" (11:53:55 PM): sounds good
RnnrBrian (11:55:45 PM): mmmhmm. Oh, have you done the challenge yet?
"Kathy" (11:56:29 PM): i did it a little while ago. i wasn't able to do it until tonight. have you?
RnnrBrian (11:57:17 PM): yeah, I actually did it last night! I don't like these challenges though...someone always ends up getting their feelings hurt. I have a feeling it might be Rudy, too.
"Kathy" (11:59:07 PM): it's not my favorite challenge either. and i especially don't like the snuff list
"Kathy" (11:59:40 PM): i don't like people seeing who i want gone 1st
"Kathy" signed off at 12:00:24 AM.
"Kathy" is offline and will receive your IMs when signing back in.
"Kathy" (12:00:44 AM): i saw just saw your pm
RnnrBrian (12:01:31 AM): oh, gotcha. Yeah, I'm gonna be pretty busy these next few days, so I hope that doesn't screw up voting plans, ugh. I don't think it will though, I'll be able to be online on Saturday morning.
RnnrBrian (12:01:59 AM): yeah, I did the snuff thing kind of randomly.
"Kathy" (12:02:44 AM): that's probably what i should have done but this time i didn't
"Kathy" (12:03:11 AM): i can be online saturday morning to discuss the vote
RnnrBrian (12:04:10 AM): okay, cool. Any early thoughts? Honestly, my preferences are the same as last time, I would prefer Keith gone before Rob M., just 'cause he seems more dangerous.
RnnrBrian (12:05:13 AM): although I do feel like if Rob M. went on an immunity steak, he could definately win a final vote. He's like a Bob...a likable person who doesn't piss people off by being in charge of who's going
"Kathy" (12:05:43 AM): either of those 2 will be fine with me
"Kathy" (12:06:49 AM): we are down to really good players
RnnrBrian (12:07:35 AM): I agree. I really feel like everyone deserves to be here in one way or another.
"Kathy" (12:07:57 AM): it's what makes voting someone so difficult
"Kathy" (12:08:35 AM): well i'm going to call it a night. i saw you on the board earlier and wanted to say hi
RnnrBrian (12:11:47 AM): mmkay, cool. As usual, if I hear anything strange I'll send a PM your way. Adios chica, have a good night!
"Kathy" (12:12:06 AM): good night! don't work too hard

[Gary Hogeboom]

PM between me and Kathy

Me to Kathy:
Hey, just passing on some stuff to ya 'cause I don't know if I'll see you tomorrow or not.

First off I talked to Rob M. and Keith tonight after TC. Keith asked me straight up if you me Rudy and Robb had an alliance, and I told him we did. The reason I did was because he showed me something that Rudy had told him earlier today. It was a convo quote from Rudy that said, "you see, I thought I had a pretty tight alliance with Robb, Kathy and Gary, not so sure now." Since I was presented with that quote I couldn't exactly deny it, so I told him that yes, I was part of that alliance, and I planned on sticking with it.

Sooooo, I dunno if Rudy was just bullshitting Keith or what, but I just wanted you to know that I'm still loyal to ya 100 percent. So I guess if Rudy tries to pull anything, I plan on sticking with you, and I believe that Robb will stick with us as well.

And I'm sorry it kind of sounded like I was flipping out in that last PM I sent, I was just mad 'cause I got put in the situation of voting for a friend, you know how it is. Anyway, have a good Christmas eve and merry Christmas, and who knows? maybe I'll talk to ya tomorrow.

Feliz Navidad amiga!
*****************************************
Kathy to Me:
That's ok telling Keith of our alliance. I'm sure it was pretty obvious when we all voted together. One thing I found interesting was I always assume Keith/Rob M/Tina had an alliance but their vote was split.

I'm sorry you were upset about voting out Tina yesterday. I understand how you feel. Tina & I had some good talks this game and I felt bad about voting her myself. I know it was especially hard for you since she is your friend and the same thing had already happened with Eliza.

I am very uneasy about Rudy too. Even though he may not be very active socially or in challenges he is playing hard to win the game. I have an alliance with both of you but I am going to be careful with him. One thing I know I will remain loyal to you.

I was very busy getting things ready for Christmas yesterday and today is going to be another busy one. I'm not sure if I will be on later or not. I'll talk to you in person as soon as I can.

Merry Christmas!
*****************************
Me to Kathy:
Oooh, I think I can explain the split vote. I had talked to Rob M. last night, and he told me that people told him to vote for Rudy, so he did, and then they never told him that the vote had been switched. I don't think that Keith or Tina had told him because they thought they already had the votes to vote me out (with you and Rudy). Also, I don't think they decided to vote for me until close to the voting deadline, so I think before then they were all going to vote for Rudy.

Yeah, Rudy makes me nervous as well. I do think that part of the reason could be that I think he's starting to realize that as inactive in the challenges and non-social that he is, he's gonna have a hard time trying to win against you or me, since we are both pretty social and we compete hard in the challenges. Meh, anyway, we'll just have to keep an eye on him.

Feliz Navidad chica!!

[Gary Hogeboom]

PM convo between me and Robb

Me to Robb
Hola, just letting you know that I'm gonna be out on the town tonight, but I WILL be on tomorrow morning if you want to talk.

I also have PMed this to Rudy and Kathy, but if the three of you are gonna decide who we are all going to vote for tonight, my two cents is that I would rather have Keith gone, just because I think he's more dangerous than Rob M. and stronger in the challenges. I'll go with whatever y'all decide though, like usual.

Hopefully I'll talk to ya tomorrow!
*****************************************
Robb to Me:

Yeah man - I hope I get to talk to you before I vote, but I wanted to vote Keith also. So unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to vote Keith.

[Gary Hogeboom]

Convo between me and Rob M.

Me to Rob M.
Hey, just letting you know that I'm gonna be going out tonight, but I should be online tomorrow morning if you want to talk then. Like usual, I'll PM ya who I'm voting for and stuff. As of right now I haven't heard anything from anybody though, so my vote's still undecided. I'll let you know for sure tomorrow before I leave for work at 3 though.
****************************
Rob M. to Me:
Thanx for the heads up bro. My vote is still undecided too I havent heard a thing but it looks like Kathy is probably gonna win this game. Feel free to PM or IM me whenever you're around.

Thank you so much for telling me to go to Xcaret. I spent the entire there and it was fucking awesome!

*********************************
Me to Rob M.
Oh, I'm so glad you went! Did you stay around for the ceremony at the end? Did you swim with dolphins? oh, lmao, I guess we'll talk about it the next time we hook up with eachother.

Also, I've talked with people about the vote this morning and I've heard it's between myself and Keith. So, I'm gonna vote for Keith this round. I didn't hear your name mentioned at all though. Anyway, if I hear anything changed, I'll be sure to let you know.

[Gary Hogeboom]

PM convo between Me and Keith:

Me to Keith
Hey, just letting you know that I'm gonna be going out tonight, but I should be online tomorrow morning if you want to talk then. Like usual, I'll PM ya who I'm voting for and stuff. As of right now I haven't heard anything from anybody though, so my vote's still undecided. I'll let you know for sure tomorrow before I leave for work at 3 though.
********************************
Keith to Me:
aight man sounds good.
******************************
Me to Keith:
Hey, just letting you know that I talked to people this morning and have heard that the vote's between you and me. I'm going to be voting for you, but I'll let you know if that changes of course. Anyway, if I go tonight and you're still around, good luck and I hope you can make it to the end amigo!

So anyway, regardless, we both know that it's nothing personal and we're both just playing the game and trying to stay, so good luck tonight.
****************************************
Keith to me:
I agree... Good luck my friend

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (11:22:49 AM): Hola!
"Robb" (11:23:47 AM): there you are
"Robb" (11:23:48 AM): lol
"Robb" (11:23:50 AM): wasup
RnnrBrian (11:24:40 AM): ha, I'm good...although I have a bitchass headache which sucks royally
"Robb" (11:24:46 AM): ouch
"Robb" (11:25:12 AM): hungover?
RnnrBrian (11:26:05 AM): lol! yeah. And I'm afraid if I go lie down I'm going to just sleep and sleep and sleep. And miss coming in to work today. Soooo, I think I'm just going to eat a hamburger and wing it.
"Robb" (11:26:16 AM): lol
"Robb" (11:26:32 AM): never heard of using a hamburger for a headache cure
"Robb" (11:26:37 AM): but maybe you're onto something
RnnrBrian (11:28:03 AM): Ha, well I've heard anything greasy kind of soaks up the alcohol left over in your bloodstream that's causing the headache. I've done it before and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
"Robb" (11:28:16 AM): lol
"Robb" (11:28:19 AM): interesting
RnnrBrian (11:32:00 AM): oh, and I saw the IC results last night. So Rudy won, eh?
"Robb" (11:34:32 AM): yeah
RnnrBrian (11:35:17 AM): I was kinda surprised with some of the answers for the challenge....I kind of did shit-tay on my answers.
"Robb" (11:35:33 AM): lol
"Robb" (11:35:38 AM): i did ok
"Robb" (11:35:49 AM): i was snuffed pretty quick though
"Robb" (11:36:02 AM): but as far as the vote goes, i think we're good with keith
RnnrBrian (11:36:45 AM): oh, you've talked to Rudy and Kathy about it? I'm talkin' to Kathy right now, but we haven't discussed the vote yet.
"Robb" (11:37:05 AM): yeah kathy said she was on board
"Robb" (11:37:15 AM): and i can't imagine rudy would have a problem with it...
"Robb" (11:37:23 AM): at the very worst we'd have a tie
RnnrBrian (11:38:13 AM): yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Although I'm not sure Rudy would risk doing a tie in the first place, ya know? so, like you, I DO think we're good.
"Robb" (11:39:15 AM): yeah
"Robb" (11:39:44 AM): and keith is trying to rally votes against you
"Robb" (11:39:59 AM): so there's no other option for us
RnnrBrian (11:40:50 AM): yeah, agreed. Ugh, I feel like we've been trying to get Keith out forever, it seems like!
"Robb" (11:41:04 AM): hahaha
RnnrBrian (11:49:44 AM): well...Kathy just told me that Rudy is undecided about the vote. So he may be voting for me, who knows. I'm thinking he probably WILL be voting for me just 'cause he hasn't told Kathy yet what he's gonna do.
"Robb" (12:08:02 PM): ah ok
"Robb" (12:08:04 PM): well thats bad
RnnrBrian (12:09:06 PM): lol, well Kathy and Rudy both just told me that Rudy's gonna be voting for Keith now. I guess I'll just have to see when the votes come out.
"Robb" (12:09:21 PM): ok
"Robb" went away at 12:20:57 PM.

[Gary Hogeboom]

RnnrBrian (11:22:58 AM): Hola!
"Rudy" (11:55:34 AM): hey man
RnnrBrian (11:57:26 AM): Congrats on immunity! Man, I have a headache that is OUT of this world! I think I'm gonna have a rough time at work tonight, lol
"Rudy" (11:57:36 AM): lol thanks
"Rudy" (11:57:39 AM): and I can relate
RnnrBrian (11:58:47 AM): I've tried advil, but it isn't helping...maybe I should try eating something, ack. I think we MAY have some Christmas leftovers
"Rudy" (11:59:00 AM): that might help things
RnnrBrian (12:02:19 PM): yeah. *heats up some creamed corn*. Sooo, have you heard anything about the vote. I've kind of heard through the grapevine that it's between me and Keith.
"Rudy" (12:02:32 PM): thats what I hear
"Rudy" (12:02:55 PM): Keith thinks that I am with him and Kathy, so he is going to be pissed when I vote him
"Rudy" (12:03:16 PM): if Keith goes this round, what you think if taking out Robb next and having a final four of you, me, Kathy and Rob M?
"Rudy" (12:03:35 PM): out of the two Robs. M is the weaker and would be sy F4 vote
RnnrBrian (12:04:51 PM): Well...I guess honestly I would not be down with that just because I told Robb I could get him to the final four...but, bleh, if you Kathy and Rob M. have the votes, y'all have the votes ya know? There'd be nothing I could do about it, so to speak. It'd be pretty much the same deal as with the Eliza and Tina votes.
"Rudy" (12:06:05 PM): it was just something I was thinking abouot
"Rudy" (12:06:10 PM): I am pretty much down with anything
"Rudy" (12:06:20 PM): and besides me, you and Kathy have the votes at F4
RnnrBrian (12:07:51 PM): yeah, very true. Hmm...I'm thinking though. I think if either of them went on a winning streak (Robb or Rob M.) I think that Rob M. would have a better shot of beating any of us just 'cause I think people like him more. So there's that as well.
RnnrBrian (12:08:12 PM): I dunno, we'll just have to go over our options when we get there.
"Rudy" (12:08:16 PM): true
"Rudy" (12:08:26 PM): F5 is the best I have done in a while
RnnrBrian (12:09:43 PM): Beat my previous game! I got 11th place, ay yi yi. I didn't even make the freaking jury!
"Rudy" (12:10:13 PM): I won a game back in the spring, but thats about it
RnnrBrian (12:11:50 PM): cool. Was it a game from like a more famous series? Or not so much?
"Rudy" (12:12:15 PM): not so much
RnnrBrian (12:13:44 PM): the last game I played was from that famous "Survivor Legends" series. I though it was gonna be really cool because it was like my frist "major series" game. But....not so much. The challenges were kind of on the lame side.
RnnrBrian (12:13:53 PM): *thought
"Rudy" (12:14:01 PM): I have heard good things about that series
"Rudy" (12:14:10 PM): I am thinking about hosting a Harry Potter survivor game lol
RnnrBrian (12:15:58 PM): Ha! Velva would shit herself! She looooves HP! I think that would be cool though...lots of interesting twists you could throw in from the books. I think you'd get a younger crowd signing up to play though.
"Rudy" (12:16:23 PM): yeah, it was just something I was throwing around
RnnrBrian (12:19:01 PM): I've only read the first 5 books. I have the 6th book but it's in spanish and I can't get into it because it feels like work to read it, haha. I LURVED the 4th one though
"Rudy" (12:19:26 PM): the fifth is alright but the sixth and seventh rock
RnnrBrian (12:20:41 PM): I'm gonna have to rent them from the library then. I think I'll read the spanish version after the English version, because I don't want to have to work to read for pleasure, lol.
RnnrBrian (12:21:44 PM): OH! one cool thing you could do for an HP game is have the castaways take like a personality test and then sort them into tribes based off their personality...kind of like the sorting hat.
RnnrBrian (12:22:30 PM): Like, maybe have all the cutthroat people (Slytherin) vs. the team-based people (Grifyndoor). That would be kind of cool.
"Rudy" (12:23:07 PM): I need to go for a bit, I need to lay down
RnnrBrian (12:23:11 PM): I've always wanted to play a game where they put all the backstabbers on one tribe. It'd be kind of like a good vs. evil thing. I think evil would win though in the end, especially on Survivor.
RnnrBrian (12:23:19 PM): lol, okay. hasta luego
"Rudy" went mobile at 12:23:36 PM.

RnnrBrian (11:23:04 AM): Hey chica!
"Kathy" (11:23:19 AM): hey there!
"Kathy" (11:23:26 AM): how's it going?
RnnrBrian (11:24:13 AM): it's going good...Urg, I have a big headache, and I have to work for 8 hours tonight...but I had fun last night, so I don't care, hee! And yourself?
"Kathy" (11:25:55 AM): glad you had a good time. at least the headache will be worth it.
RnnrBrian (11:26:48 AM): Hee, so true. Oh, I saw the IC results last night. Rudy won, eh?
"Kathy" (11:27:05 AM): yeah. i think it surprised even him
"Kathy" (11:27:21 AM): did it upset you being the 1st one out
RnnrBrian (11:28:48 AM): hee, oh no, I wasn't upset, I was really surprised though! I didn't think everyone would gun for me first, ya know?
"Kathy" (11:29:41 AM): you're just such a threat i guess if it makes you fill any better you were on the bottom of my list
"Kathy" (11:30:25 AM): *feel
RnnrBrian (11:30:48 AM): lmao, well gracias chica. I was surprised with some of the answers for the challenge questions though.
"Kathy" (11:31:04 AM): yeah i was too
RnnrBrian (11:31:46 AM): I think even if I had been kept in there I wouldn't have gotten a lot of the answers right anyway, so maybe it was best that I got out early and put out of my misery, hee
"Kathy" (11:32:36 AM): one good thing was it only showed one or two people on your snuff list
RnnrBrian (11:33:37 AM): yeah, that's true...but some of those questions like, for example....YOU for "who would be most fun to blindside"? I was surprised with that one. I didn't have your name down for the Part A OR Part B of that question.
"Kathy" (11:34:05 AM): yeah that one sort of threw me too
RnnrBrian (11:34:35 AM): I had thought it would have been Rudy. That's who I wrote for both of my challenge parts.
"Kathy" (11:34:40 AM): so i guess when i get voted out i won't have a clue lol
"Kathy" (11:35:17 AM): anyway i'm not going to worry about it
RnnrBrian (11:35:58 AM): Please, if anyone tells me anything, I'm always gonna let you know. So if you get blindsided, I'm gonna be in the same boat as you, no question.
"Kathy" (11:36:14 AM): thanks!
"Kathy" (11:37:26 AM): some of the questions i didn't really think applied to anyone left in the game. we just had to put down someone
RnnrBrian (11:39:17 AM): agreed, like the "better at lying and manipulating than they really are" was one where I was like "...meh, I don't think anyone left is a poser mastermind"
"Kathy" (11:40:55 AM): i just put someone down for that one too. i can't even remember who now
RnnrBrian (11:41:30 AM): heh, I'm checking my answers right now with the ones that were the results...there were a few I was totally off on.
RnnrBrian (11:42:28 AM): oh, another one that I thought was dumb..."who doesn't know how to play the game". OBVIOUSLY we all have been doing something right. We're in the freaking final 6! I think this challenge would have been better for like the final 10 or whatever
"Kathy" (11:43:06 AM): LOL. yeah that was another i just guessed at
"Kathy" (11:43:45 AM): well i'm going to have to get off soon.
RnnrBrian (11:44:17 AM): oh, mmkay. Oh, have you talked to anyone about the vote yet? Robb told me he was down for voting Keith, and he said you told him the same thing.
RnnrBrian (11:44:54 AM): I haven't heard nothing from Rudy though
"Kathy" (11:45:42 AM): i think the vote is between you & keith. i'm definitely not going to vote for you. so i'll have to vote for keith
RnnrBrian (11:46:01 AM): yeah...that's what Robb told me as well.
"Kathy" (11:46:05 AM): i talked to rudy last night and he wasn't sure yet what he was going to do
RnnrBrian (11:46:19 AM): Oh...so, he may be voting for me then?
"Kathy" (11:47:02 AM): i'm not sure what he is going to do yet. he told me he was going to sleep on it and let me know today
"Kathy" (11:47:33 AM): i tried to talk to him an hour or so ago but he must be away from his computer
"Kathy" (11:47:43 AM): have you heard anything from him?
RnnrBrian (11:48:22 AM): yeah, I sent him an IM awhile ago and he hasn't responded. LOL, I've heard nothing. Honestly he hasn't talked to me since like the final 8. I've sent him PMs but he hasn't responded.
"Kathy" (11:49:46 AM): well i'm going to be busy today but i'm going to be checking every now and then to see if he is online
RnnrBrian (11:50:54 AM): mmkay, yeah, I'll be online until 2:30 or so. I'm honestly not sure what to tell him if I DO see him though...I mean as far as coming up with reasons why he should vote for Keith instead of me, I guess.
RnnrBrian (11:51:41 AM): I mean sure there's the old "don't backstab the alliance" shin-dig, but really...I don't think that's gonna work with him.
"Kathy" (11:53:16 AM): do you have any idea what will be done in case of a tie?
RnnrBrian (11:54:11 AM): well, in Dennis' other game that I played with him there were ties, and there were always tie-breaker challenges between the two people involved in the tie. The person who lost went home.
RnnrBrian (11:55:26 AM): I'm not sure if Dennis will change the rules or what though for this game.
"Kathy" (11:55:27 AM): you would have a very good chance winning a tie breaker challenge
RnnrBrian (11:56:15 AM): Meh, i think it would depend on the challenge, ya know? Keith is pretty strong when he wants to be...but you know me, I'll give it my all and hope for the best.
"Kathy" (12:03:55 PM): rudy is going to vote for keith
RnnrBrian (12:06:35 PM): oh cool. He was telling me the same thing but I wasn't, you know. FOR SURE confident. We are talking about the final 5 right now...he wants to take out Robb before Rob M. I told him that I wouldn't be down with that, but if the three of you (you Robb and Rob M.) have the votes there's nothing I can do about it.
"Kathy" (12:07:17 PM): right now my main worry is keeping you in the game
RnnrBrian (12:12:21 PM): lmao, same with me for you! I told Rudy we'll just have to think about it when we're there. Baby steps, haha.
"Kathy" (12:12:52 PM): lol. ok then i guess we are set
"Kathy" (12:13:27 PM): are you going to tell robb we have 4 votes for keith?
RnnrBrian (12:14:20 PM): yeah, I just did.
RnnrBrian (12:14:39 PM): He's cool with it, you know him, laaaaaaid back, haha
"Kathy" (12:15:09 PM): lol
"Kathy" (12:17:44 PM): ok then i'm going to get off and do some housework and stuff. ugh. have fun at work
RnnrBrian (12:19:21 PM): mmkay. Don't kill yourself with the vacuum!
RnnrBrian (12:19:28 PM): adios chica!
"Kathy" (12:19:36 PM): lol
"Kathy" signed off at 12:19:56 PM.
