EP 7 Confessional

[Richard]

Ahahahaha. The Fu Mal tribe absolutely fell apart at the last tribal council. They had the chance to take out anyone they wanted...ANYONE...and they couldn't even keep it together enough to vote someone out that would have benefited them. They split their vote FIVE ways, which is simply ridiculous. I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, the tiebreaker went to past votes and, somehow, inexplicably, David went. And we voted out Joe. Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

I can taste that merge.

[Richard]

OKay, so that last confessional kinda made me sound like an asshole. In fact, it really did make me sound like an asshole. I DO think that I'm positioned well, but I guess I shouldn't be so overbearing about it. It could come back to bite me in the ass.

In other new, I had the strangest conversation with Chelsea last night. She was so utterly pessimistic; it sounded like she was giving up. Fortunately, by the end of the conversation, things were looking up. I also talked to Deighton last night, who wouldn't give me a straight answer on who we'd vote out if we lost immunity...that scares me. I talked to Sammy too, but just about random stuff. We haven't really talked strategy yet...but we may very soon, and I can see him becoming a powerful ally.

[Richard]

Oh, and Tom and I decided that Matt's a robot. Well, not exactly...but the only two things he ever says are "ik" and "yea." Sometimes he restates what I say.

[Richard]

So I decided to sit out of the challenge...not because I think I'm the weakest member of our tribe, but in preparation for the merge, I want people to think I'm the weakest member of our tribe. I think my alliances are solid enough that I'm not gonna be booted for sitting out, but if I happen to do really well on a challenge, I don't want people to start noticing that. I'll do really well when it benefits me...I mean, Chelsea and Jacob already have huge targets on their backs for being threats. I definitely don't want that at all on me.

[Richard]

Wow...that Red Rover really shocked me. Well, I guess almost everything that has happened in this game so far has shocked, but whatever. I did not think that Chelsea was gonna be banished...and I thought even less that Jacob would be going home. The Dragonezes are done for. D-O-N-E for. Stick a fork in 'em. Why are they voting off their strongest member?

Jacob, in a move of desperation, actually asked me for the immunity idol. Yeah, right, Jacob. How would that make any sense for me? You, are hands down, the strongest player here. But I like you, man. I hope we can be firends outside the game.

[Richard]

I have outright lied to the following people (in this order) this round: Jacob, Deighton, Chelsea, Tom, and Sammy. Of course, they are all were wondering my the Fu Mals banished Chelsea over here. I told them the story about Jacob and the Idol...what else was I supposed to do? People are gonna be scared of the HII...there's no reason why anyone needs to know about it. Plus, I have to play it sometime between when the votes are cast and when they're read. If I told people, they'd vote for me to get rid of it...and I want that extra line of protection. I haven't really heard my name come up yet, but when it does, I'll be ready.
