It looks like my suspicions about things were at least somewhat right after the last round. Kelly and Shawn were obviously together on things since Kelly asked me for the idol and Shawn nullified my vote, so anybody who's not blind should be able to see that Shawn's a big threat. Of course, I kind of suspected the "fight" that he had with Kelly was fake since he was so suddenly and so strongly pushing for her to go while he gave reasons that seemed...not so strong for that kind of reaction. I also have to admit that to say that I trusted completely that Kelly actually needed my help and wasn't planning something for more than a short bit would be a lie, especially since all of the situation surrounding it made everything line up. On her way out, she told me that she knew exactly what happened but it makes me wonder. If she knew exactly what could happen and was the mastermind controlling things, then why didn't she have a back-up plan setup in case I played the Idol? Unless of course, she actually believed that I had absolutely no doubt she was being 100% honest with me, and if that's the case then I guess I deserve that Oscar she was talking about, haha.
The way the votes went was most likely that Coach voted Matty, Erin voted Kelly, and that the other four of Kelly, Jaime, Shawn, and Matty voted for me. I don't have many options at all, however, Coach thinks our best bet is to see if Shawn will go for voting out Erin, and I've been talking to Shawn about that possibility to. The way I went about it had Shawn himself bring up the idea of Erin to me so that if for whatever reason I need to get on Erin's good side, I can at least say that I never brought up her name and that Shawn did. I'm pretty much in the position where I need to trust that Shawn and Coach will come through for me. I think Coach might since he was right about what he told me before, but I really don't trust Shawn close to 100% and I'm almost sure that I shouldn't.
I've got no freaking clue where Jaime stands in all of this at all, and that bothers me a little bit since it means I can't quite figure out whether to try allying with her or try to make her a secondary target. As for Matty? I don't quite know for sure right now how many people he's made Final 2 agreements with. It could be 6 people like I've heard as this game's progressed, or it could just be me and the evidence could be bogus (even if the odds of that seem a little small). I'm hoping that at the very least for this round I can work something out with him so that he votes with me and I get majority to stay. Also, I'm hopeful that if I play up and pretend to be a little naive about things that people will think I'm just clueless and keep me. Of course, I pretty much suspect every one of them, so that's not exactly the case anyway.
Hey, I don't necessarily enjoy having to lie to survive in this game, but if people are going to keep lying to me, then I'm going to have to do the same for purely self-defense purposes. I can pretty much stress it time and time again, but sometimes the nice guy has to do not so nice things, and I'm not going to let these people try an walk all over me and throw me aside when the time to act and really shake this game up again in my favour is now. I can't just sit back and do it, and I won't.
