Esoshnick (8:52:15 PM) : hey Velva
velva8490 (8:52:30 PM) : hey there. how's it going?
Esoshnick (8:52:50 PM) : pretty good hows everything with you?
velva8490 (8:53:51 PM) : visited my parents today for Christmas. so that was good
Esoshnick (8:54:15 PM) : oh thats very nice I bet they were thrilled to see you
velva8490 (8:55:03 PM) : yeah it was really nice
velva8490 (8:55:15 PM) : did you do anything special
Esoshnick (8:56:47 PM) : I went to Mexico for the week I just flew back last night and I went to the Jets game today but we lost
velva8490 (8:59:45 PM) : but that's great you got to go to the game. and to be in Mexico for a week. how much better can it get
Esoshnick (9:00:25 PM) : yea I had a blast
velva8490 (9:02:40 PM) :
Esoshnick (9:03:20 PM) : so I was meaning to talk to u about the Lima game
velva8490 (9:05:19 PM) : ok
Esoshnick (9:05:39 PM) : from what Ive heard u all agreed to some final 4 deal and you and Gary are each supposed to get 2 votes at that point and go head to head to some tiebreaker challenge I was just wondering if u had any interest in guaranteeing youd get farther than that by using my vote to take out one of the players who would vote for you
velva8490 (9:09:30 PM) : i had not heard this about gary & i doing a tiebreaker challenge at final 4. where did this come from? who are the 2 players who are going to vote for me?
Esoshnick (9:09:44 PM) : u really havent heard any of this?
velva8490 (9:10:13 PM) : no but i haven't been online since yesterday afternoon
Esoshnick (9:10:16 PM) : from what Ive been told u Rudy Gary and Robb have a final 4 pact
Esoshnick (9:10:23 PM) : is it not true?
velva8490 (9:13:03 PM) : we have all been working together
Esoshnick (9:13:36 PM) : and you never discussed having a 2-2 vote in the final 4 and doing a tiebreaker challenge against Gary?
Esoshnick (9:13:59 PM) : thats what I was told from other ppl is supposedly the agreement
velva8490 (9:14:35 PM) : this is the very 1st time i had heard of it
velva8490 (9:15:33 PM) : i've just been basically one round at a time
Esoshnick (9:15:58 PM) : oh wow
Esoshnick (9:16:04 PM) : I was told it was like all set up
Esoshnick (9:16:15 PM) : I think Im gonna vote Rudy this time
Esoshnick (9:16:23 PM) : he seems to be playing a dirty game
velva8490 (9:17:32 PM) : i don't know who i am going to vote for this round
Esoshnick (9:17:55 PM) : from what Ive been told its either him or me this round
velva8490 (9:20:16 PM) : who are you hearing all this from?
Esoshnick (9:20:47 PM) : do u promise u wont say anything?
velva8490 (9:21:05 PM) : yes
Esoshnick (9:21:21 PM) : well I got a PM from Keith saying not to trust Rudy at all
Esoshnick (9:21:34 PM) : and he showed alot of bad things that Rudy had said
Esoshnick (9:21:53 PM) : and then I talked to Gary and Robb about it
Esoshnick (9:21:58 PM) : and they told me they wont vote you
Esoshnick (9:22:21 PM) : but that Rudy is playing really dirty so theyd consider voting for him
Esoshnick (9:22:55 PM) : and they said originally the plan was you would all go to the final 4 and it would probably be a 2-2 tiebreaker challenge cuz thats what Dennis did in his past game for tiebreakers
velva8490 (9:23:54 PM) : i wouldn't surprise me if the target wasn't rudy. but no one has told me it was
Esoshnick (9:24:11 PM) : its gonna be either me or Rudy
Esoshnick (9:24:33 PM) : but I was told the original plan was that you and Rudy would vote Gary in the final 4 and Gary and Robb would vote you
Esoshnick (9:24:44 PM) : and it would be a tiebreaker challenge
velva8490 (9:28:05 PM) : well they didn't let me in on the plan
Esoshnick (9:28:24 PM) : well Im willing to help u out anyway I can
velva8490 (9:29:46 PM) : first i need to see if anyone contacts me about this. i won't say i had already heard it. then i need to see who wins this challenge
Esoshnick (9:30:03 PM) : I have a feeling Gary or Robb will end up winning
velva8490 (9:32:45 PM) : i can see you winning because everyone likes you
Esoshnick (9:33:11 PM) : thanx but I think its more like everyone hates me
Esoshnick (9:33:16 PM) : didnt u see that last challenge?
Esoshnick (9:33:27 PM) : I was voted the one who doesnt know how to play Survivor
Esoshnick (9:33:32 PM) : that is awful
Esoshnick (9:33:37 PM) : I'll never win now
velva8490 (9:34:24 PM) : i think mostly people just had to put down someone. i wouldn't take it seriously
Esoshnick (9:35:22 PM) : I dont think I could possibly win people think I havent done anything all game
Esoshnick (9:38:40 PM) : who did u think everyone would vote for once u made the final 4?
velva8490 (9:39:12 PM) : it all depends on who is in the final 4
Esoshnick (9:39:25 PM) : if it were u Rudy Robb and Gary
Esoshnick (9:39:30 PM) : didnt u expect a 2-2 tie?
velva8490 (9:44:42 PM) : it could be
Esoshnick (9:45:15 PM) : if I make the final 4 instead of Rudy I will make sure theres no tie against u
velva8490 (9:52:27 PM) : thanks!
Esoshnick (9:52:40 PM) : no problem
Gary
RnnrBrian (9:26:19 PM) : Hey you! how goes the challenge?
velva8490 (9:28:24 PM) : i've done the 100 posts
velva8490 (9:28:36 PM) : i wish i had made copies of all these challenges
velva8490 (9:28:40 PM) : how are you doing?
RnnrBrian (9:30:56 PM) : I'm doing the 100 posts right now...and I'm also doing the pass the baton thing. I know what you mean about the copies thing! although, aren't some in your confessionals? or your outbox of PMs?
velva8490 (9:35:00 PM) : maybe i'll have to check
RnnrBrian (9:35:42 PM) : i'm surprised he did like the exact same challenge for a lot of them though.
velva8490 (9:37:48 PM) : me too
RnnrBrian (9:39:01 PM) : and this hundred post task is SO annoying. I never got to do it in the original IC, because I was supposed to to the alternate posting part with Susie and she refused to do it *eye roll*
velva8490 (9:39:35 PM) : yeah i remember that she wasn't there
RnnrBrian (9:43:23 PM) : oh, she was there...she just thought we only had to do it 4 times. Once she realized we had to go to 200 she said "yeah....forget this!"
velva8490 (9:44:03 PM) : LOL what a bite
RnnrBrian (9:53:58 PM) : woo! done with task 1. Ugh, and still on that damn task 3...I'm gonna put a pizza in the oven and then get back to that task, blaaaah
velva8490 (10:06:12 PM) : lol
RnnrBrian (10:08:41 PM) : so how's your day been?
RnnrBrian (10:48:32 PM) : j
velva8490 (10:48:58 PM) : i visited my parents for our Christmas
RnnrBrian (10:49:23 PM) : oh cool. Do they live near you?
velva8490 (10:50:12 PM) : about 45 minutes away
RnnrBrian (10:51:35 PM) : ah, gotcha. UGH, I'm doing that part of the challenge with the different buildings...and I remember the names of both yours and Dan but niether were used in the challenge, lol
velva8490 (10:52:20 PM) : i haven't done that one yet. i was trying the math but i'm horrible at it
RnnrBrian (10:53:11 PM) : oh! something that helped me on it is you have to use PEMDAS to solve it. so divide and multiply BEFORE you add or subtract
velva8490 (10:54:08 PM) : ok thanks

velva8490 (5:46:53 PM) : hi
Esoshnick (5:46:58 PM) : hey Velva
velva8490 (5:47:05 PM) : how's it going?
Esoshnick (5:47:13 PM) : pretty good hows everything w/ u?
velva8490 (5:47:26 PM) : ok. just trying to do this challenge
Esoshnick (5:47:37 PM) : its way too time consuming for me
Esoshnick (5:47:46 PM) : I did that part 3 last night then I passed out
velva8490 (5:47:47 PM) : it is very time consuming
Esoshnick (5:47:51 PM) : thats for sure
Esoshnick (5:47:57 PM) : I just hope Rudy doesnt win
velva8490 (5:50:06 PM) : i don't think he has done any of it
Esoshnick (5:50:13 PM) : oh thank
velva8490 (5:50:14 PM) : his post count is still the same
Esoshnick (5:50:18 PM) : thats my only chance of staying
Esoshnick (5:50:31 PM) : at least I did part of it
Esoshnick (5:50:37 PM) : I dont wanna be seen as inactive
velva8490 (5:50:55 PM) : i tried to do everything......but i couldn't get the math at all
Esoshnick (5:51:05 PM) : that math one is impossible
Esoshnick (5:51:14 PM) : I have a feeling Gary or Robb will win this immunity
velva8490 (5:51:18 PM) : i wonder if the formula is right
Esoshnick (5:51:25 PM) : lol maybe not
Esoshnick (5:51:28 PM) : its so hard
velva8490 (5:51:30 PM) : robb is real good in math
Esoshnick (5:51:37 PM) : yea hes a whiz
velva8490 (5:51:50 PM) : i asked dennis last night if it was right
Esoshnick (5:52:02 PM) : it must be then
velva8490 (5:52:24 PM) : have you seen robb's away message?
Esoshnick (5:52:36 PM) : no
Esoshnick (5:52:46 PM) : huh?
Esoshnick (5:52:49 PM) : I dont get it
velva8490 (5:53:04 PM) : i don't either. i sent him an im
velva8490 (5:53:59 PM) : i may have been a little abrupt last night when we talked. i was frustrated with that math problem and tired too. i'm going to go back and reread all that you said
Esoshnick (5:54:25 PM) : no problem
velva8490 (5:55:39 PM) : have you talked to rudy at all
Esoshnick (5:56:26 PM) : not at all have u?
Esoshnick (5:56:36 PM) : everytime I try IMing him it says hes studying for finals
velva8490 (5:57:55 PM) : because i was thinking you were not going to be voted for this time. but that was saturday
velva8490 (5:58:12 PM) : and what you were saying yesterday was the opposite
Esoshnick (5:58:22 PM) : who did u think Rudy would vote for?
velva8490 (5:58:46 PM) : i don't know for sure. we haven't talked since then
Esoshnick (5:58:49 PM) : from what I was told I am supposed to be the next one voted out but theres a chance that it may be Rudy who goes instead of me
Esoshnick (5:59:09 PM) : rudy has not responded to any of my IMs or PMs
Esoshnick (5:59:19 PM) : Ive only talked to u Gary and Robb
velva8490 (5:59:21 PM) : so i guess that means you gary & robb are voting rudy?
Esoshnick (5:59:35 PM) : thats what they have told me
velva8490 (6:00:16 PM) : i didn't talk to gary but a few minutes last night...and not game wise at all....part of my frustration with the challenge
Esoshnick (6:00:32 PM) : I dont see any other way I can possibly survive unless I vote for Rudy
velva8490 (6:01:32 PM) : so with rudy gone. that's where the vote is supposed to be tied up next round i suppose?
Esoshnick (6:01:37 PM) : if Rudy goes Im hoping we can convince Robb and Gary to turn on eachother next round that way u wont have to do the tiebreaker challenge
velva8490 (6:01:39 PM) : i really need to get back online
Esoshnick (6:02:12 PM) : the way they explained it the original plan was u Rudy Robb and gary would make the final 4 then u and Rudy would vote for Gary and Gary and Robb would vote for you
velva8490 (6:02:21 PM) : i sort of have a feeling they will not turn on each other
Esoshnick (6:02:22 PM) : because u and gary were seen as the biggest threats to win
Esoshnick (6:02:46 PM) : I dont think they wouldve turned on eachother if Rudy makes the final 4
Esoshnick (6:02:52 PM) : but I think I can convince them
Esoshnick (6:02:56 PM) : or one of em hopefully
Esoshnick (6:03:01 PM) : to avoid a purple rock
Esoshnick (6:03:14 PM) : by voting with u
Esoshnick (6:04:01 PM) : please dont tell anyone I told u about this or they will just vote me out and force the tiebreaker against u the next 2 TCs
velva8490 (6:04:16 PM) : i'm not going to tell anyone
Esoshnick (6:04:22 PM) : thank you
velva8490 (6:05:01 PM) : i'll ask about the voting plans but i won't reveal what you said
Esoshnick (6:05:41 PM) : hopefully they will say they plan to vote Rudy
Esoshnick (6:05:51 PM) : he pulled alot of dirty tricks last round
Esoshnick (6:06:04 PM) : he gave keith his word that he was gonna vote for Gary last TC
velva8490 (6:06:16 PM) : keith is upset with me too
Esoshnick (6:06:36 PM) : yea but u were just telling him what he wanted to hear
Esoshnick (6:06:40 PM) : Rudy went over the line
Esoshnick (6:06:44 PM) : giving his word and all
Esoshnick (6:06:48 PM) : and making up bs plans
Esoshnick (6:08:59 PM) : he said how bad he felt about the whole Tina thing and how now hes giving Keith his word he will make up for it
velva8490 (6:09:18 PM) : i got really down about this game last night. it's been a difficult one having to vote off people i like on all sides
Esoshnick (6:09:40 PM) : Im glad Ive been able to keep my morals in tact
velva8490 (6:10:10 PM) : you've done really good. you've got a good chance of winning if you make the finals
Esoshnick (6:10:45 PM) : lol Im a very long way from making it
Esoshnick (6:10:51 PM) : and I doubt I could actually win
Esoshnick (6:12:09 PM) : I really dont think I could possibly beat anyone left in the final 5 except for possibly Rudy
Esoshnick (6:12:26 PM) : u Gary and Robb have played unbelievable games
Esoshnick (6:13:02 PM) : but I'd be thrilled just to make it to the end regardless of the outcome
velva8490 (6:13:12 PM) : i think you & the 3 of us really work hard on the challenges
Esoshnick (6:13:21 PM) : me too
Esoshnick (6:13:33 PM) : I think we all deserve it
velva8490 (6:14:06 PM) : yeah i do too
Esoshnick (6:14:24 PM) : I just hope u dont have to do that dumb tiebreaker thingy
Esoshnick (6:15:11 PM) : u dont deserve that kinda stress
velva8490 (6:15:18 PM) : if it's posting i should be ok but i really don't want to go through it
Esoshnick (6:15:29 PM) : hopefully u wont have to
velva8490 (6:15:30 PM) : and i'm not working this week
Esoshnick (6:15:36 PM) : oh that helps at least
Esoshnick (6:16:14 PM) : I wish I had this week off lol
velva8490 (6:16:44 PM) : i wish you did too. but at least you got good memories of last week
Esoshnick (6:22:12 PM) : yea it was fun too bad its over and Im stuck working all day again lol
velva8490 (6:22:50 PM) : ugh
velva8490 (6:23:58 PM) : well i'm going to get off again. i've neglected my husband because of this challenge
Esoshnick (6:25:21 PM) : ok
Esoshnick (6:25:25 PM) : I'll be on tonight
Esoshnick (6:25:32 PM) : good luck with the challenge
velva8490 (6:25:37 PM) : you too
Esoshnick (6:25:40 PM) : thanx
velva8490 (6:25:44 PM) : it's been a rough one
Esoshnick (6:25:51 PM) : thats for sure

Esoshnick (6:26:03 PM) : later!
PM to Gary
Hey. I'm sorry I didn't talk much last night. I was all stressed out over this challenge and very tired. Still tired today but I was hoping to catch you online sometime.
I never could figure out those math puzzles.
Robb
velva8490 (5:46:16 PM) : what's with the away message?
Auto Response from RockOn8896 (5:46:16 PM) : I'm velva8490, a mighty pirate!

RockOn8896 (7:43:34 PM) : heya
velva8490 (7:43:44 PM) : what was with your away message?
RockOn8896 (7:43:52 PM) : hahaha
RockOn8896 (7:43:58 PM) : its an old aim trick
RockOn8896 (7:44:09 PM) : if you type '%n' into your away message or profile
RockOn8896 (7:44:29 PM) : then everyone else sees their own sn where you placed '%n'
RockOn8896 (7:44:41 PM) : so my away message was "i'm %n, a mighty pirate!"
RockOn8896 (7:44:53 PM) : but obviously you saw velva, and gary would see rnnrbrian, etc
velva8490 (7:45:12 PM) : that is so funny. i was getting a little paranoid
RockOn8896 (7:45:16 PM) : LOL
RockOn8896 (7:45:26 PM) : no no, i wasn't makin fun of you or anytthin
velva8490 (7:45:46 PM) : ok. i'm glad to know that

velva8490 (7:46:48 PM) : how the challenge going for you?
RockOn8896 (7:47:05 PM) : i had such a hard time with that damn pass the baton part
RockOn8896 (7:47:19 PM) : if you look i tried like 5 different times...and i even deleted some of my old posts
RockOn8896 (7:47:28 PM) : i just couldnt stay focused on it long enough
velva8490 (7:47:44 PM) : i did mine early this morning when no one was around
velva8490 (7:48:09 PM) : i was afraid i would post twice in a row as myself
velva8490 (7:48:25 PM) : i never could get the math puzzle
RockOn8896 (7:51:07 PM) : oh no!
RockOn8896 (7:51:24 PM) : i can give you the answers to the math puzzles if you want
velva8490 (7:51:37 PM) : are you sure?
RockOn8896 (7:52:05 PM) : yeah, i already turned them in...and i'd rather you get points than certain other people haha
RockOn8896 (7:52:07 PM) : hold on
velva8490 (7:52:51 PM) : i'm so curious as to how it worked out. i stayed up most of the night working on it

RockOn8896 (7:54:06 PM) : if it was questions about like, your hometown, or somethin you do every day, you'd get it too
velva8490 (7:54:31 PM) : thanks so much!
RockOn8896 (7:55:03 PM) : no problem kath

RockOn8896 (7:59:13 PM) : but i thought 2 was candice...what did you get for 2?
velva8490 (7:59:47 PM) : sally. that one took me forever
RockOn8896 (7:59:55 PM) : d'oh! thats right
RockOn8896 (8:00:04 PM) : then 18 is def candice
RockOn8896 (8:00:10 PM) : because i remember candice being in there somewhere
velva8490 (8:00:11 PM) : one of them had green pants
velva8490 (8:01:52 PM) : did you put yours on paint? or just do the answer for the math one
RockOn8896 (8:02:05 PM) : i just did the answer, just like what i sent to you
RockOn8896 (8:02:21 PM) : cuz i dont have paint...and its how i did it the first time around, and i got full credit
velva8490 (8:02:23 PM) : good. i don't have time to fool with paint
RockOn8896 (8:02:30 PM) : hahaha
velva8490 (8:05:03 PM) : you need any other Survivors?
RockOn8896 (8:05:32 PM) : no, i'm pretty sure i got the rest
RockOn8896 (8:05:33 PM) : thanks though
RockOn8896 (8:05:58 PM) : did you get all the others?
velva8490 (8:07:07 PM) : i think so. i did my best on them. but i still may have messed up on 1
RockOn8896 (8:07:48 PM) : the first task?
velva8490 (8:08:57 PM) : oh i thought we were still talking about the survivors
RockOn8896 (8:09:01 PM) : oh lol
velva8490 (8:09:07 PM) : i got everything else done
RockOn8896 (8:09:12 PM) : for 1 i put mikey b
velva8490 (8:10:02 PM) : i put mikey
velva8490 (8:10:39 PM) : next time i'm in a game i'm going to copy all the challenges down & save myself a lot of work
RockOn8896 (8:10:49 PM) : hahaha
RockOn8896 (8:11:27 PM) : i know - as soon as he posted the challenge, i was like 'robb, you moron, why didn't you save all the answers'
velva8490 (8:12:03 PM) : it would have been so much easier
RockOn8896 (8:15:36 PM) : how'd you do on your name chain?
RockOn8896 (8:15:45 PM) : i dont think its possible to get much higher than the mid-70s
velva8490 (8:16:49 PM) : i got 77 which was a little bit better than before
velva8490 (8:17:02 PM) : it took me forever cause i kept messing up
RockOn8896 (8:17:24 PM) : oh no!
RockOn8896 (8:18:10 PM) : i dont remember exactly what i got, but i think it was like 75 or 76...so you might beat me in this challenge by .1 lol
velva8490 (8:18:53 PM) : lol. but you got me on that math.
RockOn8896 (8:19:24 PM) : oh right
velva8490 (8:19:26 PM) : i'm hoping i got at least a 2 on that one
velva8490 (8:19:45 PM) : you probably got the 5
RockOn8896 (8:20:47 PM) : yeah i think i did, i posted about 5 mins after the challenge went up
velva8490 (8:21:14 PM) : wow! i'm sure you got it then
velva8490 (8:21:23 PM) : i worked all night on that thing
velva8490 (8:21:43 PM) : so i really appreciate you giving me that
RockOn8896 (8:21:52 PM) : anytime
velva8490 (8:22:03 PM) :
RockOn8896 (8:22:09 PM) : this is a really important immunity, and i just want to keep it in our alliance
RockOn8896 (8:22:28 PM) : so i was glad to help
velva8490 (8:22:41 PM) : thanks! i bet you win this challenge
velva8490 (8:22:57 PM) : i have a feeling the math one will make the difference
RockOn8896 (8:23:16 PM) : yeah it might, because it was the only one that is guaranteed to give out different points to each person
RockOn8896 (8:23:40 PM) : but if i win by 2 or less, i owe you big time
velva8490 (8:24:13 PM) : you're welcome. i was glad to do it
velva8490 (8:24:51 PM) : well i've got to take the dog out & then get off for awhile

velva8490 (7:46:23 PM) : i only got a couple of hours sleep last night
Esoshnick (7:46:32 PM) : that'll do it
velva8490 (7:46:33 PM) : i hate to feel that way
Esoshnick (7:53:41 PM) : I felt that way last night and I passed out by 10:30
Esoshnick (7:53:50 PM) : its the worst feeling

velva8490 (10:48:14 PM) : hi
RnnrBrian (10:48:33 PM) : Hola you! How's life!
RnnrBrian (10:48:43 PM) : oh, I got your PM, no worries, I understood, lol
velva8490 (10:49:31 PM) : life is ok except i am so tired from losing sleep last night. this challenge had me all stressed out. it was a hard one
velva8490 (10:49:36 PM) : how's things with you?
RnnrBrian (10:50:24 PM) : I know, I was up till like 1 working on it!
RnnrBrian (10:50:45 PM) : things are great! I had the day off so I went to a friends house and we played Wii. And now I want one bad, lol
velva8490 (10:51:13 PM) : i heard those things are great. maybe you can get you one
RnnrBrian (10:52:35 PM) : lmao, I don't have the money. But it would be nice. I also got to see Wii fit, which is a game that gives you an exercise program, and you step on this square and it gives you a comput image of yourself and your weight and stuff.
velva8490 (10:53:39 PM) : that sounds great. i used to get my daughter game systems and then play all the games myself lol. but she has never asked for Wii
RnnrBrian (10:55:28 PM) : ha, I was only around for the N64 craze, and then i got too old for my parents to be buying me anything, ha
velva8490 (10:57:08 PM) : my daughter drop her cell phone in a cup of water this evening
RnnrBrian (10:57:40 PM) : oh no! is it still working? usually they will work fine once they dry out.
velva8490 (10:58:58 PM) : well she couldn't find it for awhile. she was filling her car up with gas. i think it is pretty well gone. she is using a friend's phone right now. just one of those things that happen
velva8490 (10:59:22 PM) : any thoughts on the game?
RnnrBrian (11:00:16 PM) : ...actually, yeah. I want to talk to you about something, and I don't think you're gonna like it.
velva8490 (11:00:24 PM) : ok
RnnrBrian (11:01:31 PM) : well....I'm considering voting for Rudy this tc. Just because he's been trying to get me out last round and this round. Also, Rob M. showed me some convos between Keith and Rudy where Rudy was pretty much campaigning to get me out.
velva8490 (11:03:22 PM) : i was afraid of this. it's been so hard to keep both of you in the game. i always feel torn between the two of you. if you go that route i'll have to do a throw away vote
RnnrBrian (11:04:20 PM) : yeah, I know. I'm really sorry...you know and I know that I'm very loyal. But I don't really see the point of keeping my word to someone in the game who isn't doing the same to me.
velva8490 (11:04:40 PM) : i understand
RnnrBrian (11:05:22 PM) : One good thing is that Robb and I have talked about this (he's seen the convos as well) and he told me that he wants to vote for Rudy, but he doesn't want to vote for you. So he'd be on our side in the final four.
velva8490 (11:06:20 PM) : i didn't want to vote for robb either this round. especially since the 4 of us had been working together
velva8490 (11:07:27 PM) : actually i really don't want to vote for anyone. even though i don't have an alliance with rob m. he's a nice guy. this is a hard round
RnnrBrian (11:08:56 PM) : I know, I totally agree with you. I guess...if you want, you could throw away your vote at me. I know that could be potentionally dangerous, but you don't have to tell anyone until the votes come out that you voted for me. Rob M. and Robb are both going to vote for Rudy (or so they've told me)
RnnrBrian (11:09:52 PM) : I mean, I did the same to you in the final 9, you could probably do the same to me. Granted, it's a little more dangerous at THIS stage of the game, but I think we could pull it off.
velva8490 (11:11:10 PM) : if you don't mind i would appreciate it. but if there is any risk or danger at all in you getting voted out i won't do it. if there is i guess i could vote the same way as rudy
velva8490 (11:11:58 PM) : but we'll see how things work out before i do that
velva8490 (11:12:30 PM) : but honestly i couldn't vote for him the same as i couldn't vote for you if it was a real vote
RnnrBrian (11:13:18 PM) : yeah, I totally understand. And actually, I do think that Rudy WILL vote for me at this tc. I'm planning on telling him that I'm going to vote for him.
velva8490 (11:14:10 PM) : if he votes for you then i don't think i will risk do a throw away vote to you. in case someone changes their mind
velva8490 (11:15:54 PM) : *doing
RnnrBrian (11:17:13 PM) : yeah, I gotcha. And of course there's always the IC. I think you me or Robb are gonna win it...I think Robb will though
velva8490 (11:17:58 PM) : robb got the math question in 1st i think. so i think he is probably a little bit ahead
velva8490 (11:18:12 PM) : but i think it is going to be close between the 3 of us
velva8490 (11:18:30 PM) : rudy didn't do any of that. i don't think rob m did all of it
RnnrBrian (11:23:08 PM) : yeah, Rob M. told me the same thing. I tried doing the picture challenge over again last night and finding stuff that I couldn't find before...but it was so hard! I also had to fix my word list and take out all the nicknames I had used, lol
velva8490 (11:26:48 PM) : i did the word list completely over hoping i would find a few more words. i managed to get 77. i worked really hard on the Survivor pictures today & got them right. ian has checked them
RnnrBrian (11:27:36 PM) : ooh! I'll go see if he's checked mine. I only got 74 on my word list.
velva8490 (11:28:04 PM) : i just don't see how we could get much more than 70 something
velva8490 (11:28:53 PM) : he hasn't check the Survivor names yet
RnnrBrian (11:29:37 PM) : oh, he's actually checked all mine! I just didn't realize it.
RnnrBrian (11:30:03 PM) : yeah, I got 4 points on the math challenge, so I guess Robb beat me, lol
velva8490 (11:30:30 PM) : i got 3 pts
velva8490 (11:31:06 PM) : the only thing he hasn't checked of mine is the string of survivors
velva8490 (11:31:46 PM) : that one makes me nervous cause i kept messing up today
RnnrBrian (11:32:33 PM) : oh CRAP! lmao, I think it's just between you and Robb....I only made it to 3 on my word list...I had included "Boston Rob" and I guess that didn't count.
velva8490 (11:32:59 PM) : oh no!!!!!
velva8490 (11:33:34 PM) : but i think the most you could get for the Survivor string is around 7 if it is divided by 10
velva8490 (11:35:37 PM) : man if this challenge was this hard at final 5. i wonder what the final 4 challenge will be like
RnnrBrian (11:35:44 PM) : oh, that's true.
RnnrBrian (11:36:13 PM) : I'm thinking...maybe the final 4 challenge would be questions about previous castaways in the game? I think you or me would win that, we've been the most social
velva8490 (11:36:57 PM) : that would be a hard one. i think you would do the best on it
velva8490 (11:38:45 PM) : well i'm going to try to go to sleep. unless i get tempted to look at the challenge results again lol. good luck on the challenge
RnnrBrian (11:39:55 PM) : lol, okay. Get some beauty sleep chica!
RnnrBrian (11:40:02 PM) : and good luck to you too.
velva8490 (11:40:12 PM) : thanks!
