This originally was going to be a video journal, but the lighting in my apartment SUCKS and I don't record very well in the dark for OBVIOUS reasons.
Anyways, you guys can probably tell that i was completely blindsided by the vote last night. I was angry, upset, betrayed, pissed off, emotional all wrapped up into one. I'm sure Joe has probably better explained it to you already since he got flat out lied to about the vote....me on the other hand, they just didnt tell me SHIIIIIT.
I think it was definitely foreshadowing that on the day Fei reveals to me that she feels like an outcast in our alliance, her and Greg both go POOF! I had a small bad feeling that the idol was going to come into play, but i didn't think Ricky would actually have the balls to play it and reveal his ties to the cabbage patch doll. I'll give him a hand *clap* for making a move and getting out two people. But at what cost?
Needless to say, he has now sort of strained his relationship with Joe. Joe couldn't even get on skype call with everyone and fake nice with them. I think if I hadn't been eating a Mcdonalds cheeseburger, I would've been the same way. So I guess that puts a little bit of my faith back in Joe. I mean, i did try to warn him that Ricky was a threat, but Ricky won him over REALLY REALLY well. What DOES irritate me is that Joe knew about a proposed plan to vote out Fei and decided NOT to tell me. I really do go back and forth on Joe as being someone I can trust with how he continues to withhold information from me. I get he doesn't want to show all his cards to me, but like, he has to understand that this bridge of trust between us is.....shaky.
It was VERY hard last night to feel sympathy for Joe in this situation because he was clued in on SOME of this big blindside move. Granted he wasn't told about the Greg part because, like he said, it didnt effect him. Anyways, me, him and Nax ended up in a skype call so that he could basically "smooth" things over with us. He did a pretty lousy job and actually came across as a bit pompous/arrogant. I was basically told that I should remember that I was saved from the very first TC and that now i have a fighting chance in this game. I don't know with who since he and Ricky have aligned themselves with a good number of people.
After that call, i had to THEN have a "heart to heart" conversation with Ricky....

[9/22/2013 9:04:54 PM] Joe Purcell: I'm so irritated.
[9/22/2013 9:04:55 PM] Joe Purcell: But like.
[9/22/2013 9:05:01 PM] Joe Purcell: I am not letting myself talk to people.
[9/22/2013 9:05:52 PM] Joe Purcell: Oh I guess Brookie is now going to make herself seem super not racist.
[9/22/2013 9:08:22 PM] Jermainey: im on a skype call
[9/22/2013 9:08:35 PM] Joe Purcell: Yeah I got that call and declined.
[9/22/2013 9:09:36 PM] Jermainey: so like
[9/22/2013 9:09:58 PM] Jermainey: i guess its out that Ricky is aligned with Brookie?
[9/22/2013 9:10:23 PM] Joe Purcell: I'm sure he'd deny it and pretend that it was because he really wanted Fei out.
[9/22/2013 9:10:26 PM] Joe Purcell: But I'm guessing it was both.
[9/22/2013 9:10:52 PM] Joe Purcell: I can't say I'm SHOCKED that he gave Brookie the Amulet. However, I'm very annoyed that I was -lied- to about the Greg vote, something which I could have done fuck all about.
[9/22/2013 9:11:06 PM] Jermainey: and can I aquire WHY Fei was voted out?
[9/22/2013 9:11:29 PM] Joe Purcell: I would say Fei and Greg were voted out based solely on the fact that they're good friends.
[9/22/2013 9:11:39 PM] Joe Purcell: And Ricky seemed concerned about connections that Fei had.
[9/22/2013 9:12:36 PM] Jermainey: hmmmm
[9/22/2013 9:12:43 PM] Jermainey: he didnt say anything to me about that
[9/22/2013 9:13:06 PM] Jermainey: but i mean, i had this like sinking feeling she was gonna get screwed
[9/22/2013 9:13:11 PM] Joe Purcell: Same.
[9/22/2013 9:13:34 PM] Joe Purcell: I just like can't deal with these people right now. I've never felt so excluded.
[9/22/2013 9:13:44 PM] Joe Purcell: I don't wanna deal with their bullshit and their fakeness.
[9/22/2013 9:13:58 PM] Joe Purcell: And I absolutely do NOT wanna be in a skype call with fucking Brookie of all people.
[9/22/2013 9:14:39 PM] Jermainey: well at least he told you his concerns
[9/22/2013 9:14:43 PM] Jermainey: he didnt even tell me that
[9/22/2013 9:14:58 PM] Joe Purcell: Yet he hasn't come to say anything to me since the vote was revealed.
[9/22/2013 9:15:07 PM] Joe Purcell: In fact, the only person who has messaged me all night is Animal.
[9/22/2013 9:16:12 PM] Jermainey: lol well like
[9/22/2013 9:16:18 PM] Jermainey: i said it was super quiet
[9/22/2013 9:16:27 PM] Jermainey: last night
[9/22/2013 9:16:43 PM] Joe Purcell: Ricky tried really hard to get me to vote out Fei last night.
[9/22/2013 9:16:49 PM] Joe Purcell: I told him that I could not, from a moralistic standpoint.
[9/22/2013 9:17:55 PM] Joe Purcell: He did say near the end that he's pretty sure he won't give it to Brookie regardless.
[9/22/2013 9:18:02 PM] Jermainey: -__-
[9/22/2013 9:18:06 PM] Joe Purcell: Obviously that was shit.
[9/22/2013 9:18:23 PM] Joe Purcell: Oh and obvious disclaimer: don't tell anyone I'm telling you this blah blah blah
[9/22/2013 9:04:55 PM] Joe Purcell: But like.
