Regrets and Keith
Keith is upset with me but then I expected him to be. In the pm he sent me he said he would return to me my knife. Keith is the biggest mistake I've made in the game and my biggest regret. I should never have made that final 3 deal with him & Rudy especially since I knew they was no way of keeping it and staying loyal to my main alliance.
A Monster Challenge
As soon as I saw the challenge I got stressed out. It repeated challenges we had done previously and I knew it was going to be very time-consuming. To make matters worse I could have saved myself hours of time if I had just kept a record of the results throughout the game. To complicate matters Rob M was trying to talk strategy to me during these tense moments.
I worked really hard on the different challenges and managed to come in 2nd. Just .8 of a point behind Robb. Gary came in 3rd with just a little over 8 points behind Robb. Rob M made a token effort and received 12 points. Rudy didn't even do the 1st post.
Rudy or Throw My Vote Away
Rob M revealed to me that in the next round the plan was for Gary/Robb to vote me and Rudy/me to vote Gary. Then Gary and I would face off in a tie-breaker vote. He said he got this information from Gary & Robb. It was the 1st I had heard of it. I didn't take it too seriously because I knew I would not vote for Gary and I didn't figure Gary would vote for me. If anything I could see a tie-breaker between Robb & Rudy. Rob M assured me that if he made it to final 4 he would vote with me against Gary & Robb. Even in this case I think the votes would go to Rob M and there would not be a tie to worry about. I believe he is just trying to keep from being voted out this round.
But I did take seriously his comment that Rudy was going to be voted out this round. Gary, Robb, and Rob M are all supposed to vote him out. Apparently Keith showed Rob M some chats he had with Rudy that was pretty damaging. In them it showed how Rudy had been trying to get Gary voted out of the game and that he was basically playing a very dirty game. It also showed how Rudy made a lot of false promises & lied quiet a bit. Rob M asked me not to tell anyone he shared this with me which I will keep to myself.
Later Gary told me he was going to vote for Rudy along with Robb and Rob M. I wasn't surprised especially after what Rob M had told me and I knew Rudy had been wanting to vote Gary out for awhile now. Rob M also shared with Gary & Robb the convos Keith & Rudy had.
This again puts me in a very difficult position. I cannot vote for Rudy because of our final 2 alliance. I really don't think I will be able to talk Gary into changing his vote especially when Rudy has been trying to get him voted out of the game. My only other choice is to do a throw-away vote. At first Gary said I could vote him and I considered that but then after thinking it over I decided that would be too risky & dangerous and might somehow turn around with Gary himself being voted out. The only other choice I have is Rob M.
