Episode 8 - Episode 9

[Woods]

We just got back from Tribal... Nicole is gone... and Ricky and Nax are not happy about it. they thought they had had this game wrapped up for them.. and it backfired in their face. 

Post Tribal Conversations, merged together... 

(Backlash from Ricky and Nax)
[12:24:42 AM] Jermainey: so I totally got ambushed by Ricky and Nax >_<
[12:24:52 AM] Woods: which just proves what type of people they are.
[12:25:02 AM] Brenda Mitchell: Aww ... that sucks Jermainey ...
[12:25:03 AM] Jermainey: well they're coming at me seperately
[12:25:08 AM] Jermainey: but stilll
[12:25:10 AM] Jermainey: its lateee
[12:25:21 AM] Woods: jermaine, just know this... one of them goes this week.. and ne goes next week.
[12:25:28 AM] Woods: who will be the last ones laughing... us!
[12:25:43 AM] Jermainey: lol truee
[12:26:09 AM] Woods: but ricky needs to go this week... b/c he could actually win immunity next week... Nax aint winning shit. lets be honest
[12:26:34 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: haha he's talking to e now
[12:26:34 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: me*
[12:26:39 AM] Woods: who, ricky?
[12:26:42 AM] Woods: he hasnt said a word to me all day


(Rupee talk time; none of us want to be untouchables! ) 

[12:27:19 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: I am happy to give you the 50, Brenda. as long as we're all out of the Untouchables. Joe is really low but I think he traded?
[12:27:30 AM] Joe Purcell: I did trade, but, Sandy probably just didn't notice it yet.
[12:27:43 AM] Woods: yeah.
[12:27:52 AM] Woods: b/c animal and I will get MVP rupees, and challenge rupees...
[12:28:17 AM] Woods: and joe traded.
[12:28:19 AM] Woods: and jermaine is up there
[12:28:20 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: ohhh right
[12:28:26 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: ill wait to see how everyones rupees are after the fact
[12:28:28 AM] Woods: so if we hook brenda up... she wont be low...
[12:28:34 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: to see who is in the bottom 3 once ricky is gone
[12:28:38 AM] Woods: jedda, nax and brookie should be low
[12:28:43 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: oh right
[12:28:48 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: jedda didn't even do the challenge, brookie out first go

If we can get rid of Ricky this week... get Jedda, Brookie and Nax to be the Untouchables... get rid of them for a while... we are set! 

(and then there is nicole... )
[12:29:01 AM] Woods: so what did nicole say to you?
[12:29:03 AM] Woods: she didnt say anything to me
[12:29:12 AM | Edited 12:29:39 AM] Jermainey: Nicole.....not say anything?
[12:29:16 AM] Jermainey: thats a change
[12:29:22 AM] Jermainey: >_>
[12:29:27 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: lol she's just like "you should have taken out max"
[12:29:30 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: NAX*
[12:29:37 AM] Woods: hahaha
[12:29:44 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: i was like sry
[12:29:57 AM] Joe Purcell: I feel KINDA bad... lol. But it is funny that she spent all that time bitching about no one getting to know her, and then she goes out at the first TC she's vulnerable.
[12:30:13 AM] Woods: she didnt make an effort to know anyone
[12:30:19 AM] Joe Purcell: ^ Yeah.
[12:30:24 AM] Woods: and when she says, "im a vote for anyone"... no you're not.
[12:30:27 AM] Jermainey: nope...that was like her own downfall

I am really starting to like Jermaine... I take back some of the things I said about him. hes an alright guy afterwards! 

[12:30:28 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: when i actually talked to her after our fight, we got along well so i feel pretty bad
[12:30:31 AM] Woods: did she forget that episode where we talked about ricky having her on a leash?
[12:30:47 AM] Woods: 100% agree with animal. i liked talking to her.
[12:30:47 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: oh Woods, she called me your bitch lol
[12:30:51 AM] Woods: hahahahahahaha
[12:31:00 AM] Woods: its ok, im a nicer master than Ricky. I wont keep you on a leash
[12:31:00 AM] Joe Purcell: I tried talking with her, too.
[12:33:29 AM] Woods: shes going to be a bitter jury member
[12:34:21 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: yeah

Then a thought popped into my head... 

[12:36:10 AM] Woods: theres no things from the auction left in the game right?
[12:36:14 AM] Woods: that can help him
[12:36:20 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: i don't believe so
[12:36:45 AM] Woods: im goin to go look at the list quick
[12:37:19 AM] Woods: nope. nicole left with everyone
[12:37:21 AM] Woods: everything
[12:37:44 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: you don't think she gave her double vote to ricky do you
[12:37:53 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: like is that even doable
[12:38:08 AM] Jermainey: nope
[12:38:13 AM] Jermainey: auction items cant be given away
[12:38:19 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: sweet bananas
[12:38:21 AM] Woods: yeah, i was just looking for verification on that

Then we ended our conversation with how we see the rest of the game playing out... 

[12:38:33 AM] Woods: guys. we really have to be dumb to not make te final 5 with these people that are left
[12:39:12 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: if any of them make it to the end they'll win hands down lol
[12:39:21 AM] Woods: but with our numbers... they cant. LOL
[12:39:42 AM] Woods: we need to take them out in order of relevance to challenges
[12:39:49 AM] Woods: Ricky, nax / jedda, jedda, nax, brookie
[12:40:08 AM] Woods: brookie is least likely to win shit... so we keep her the longest
[12:40:23 AM] Jermainey: i dunno about that
[12:40:29 AM] Jermainey: shes done decently well in some challenges
[12:40:37 AM] Woods: you think?
[12:40:40 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: I think she is weaker than Ricky and Nax for sure.
[12:40:41 AM] Woods: her before jedda maybe?
[12:41:02 AM] Joe Purcell: Well she's definitely not super great, but yeah.
[12:41:14 AM] Jermainey: well granted i think Ricky has carried her a bit through
[12:41:18 AM] Woods: yeah.
[12:41:20 AM] Cody [Animal] Lasso: yeah

[Woods]

WOODS wins immunity!!!!!

This will be my favorite round in this entire game, regardless of the outcome of this game... 

The final 2 in the immunity challenge are Ricky and myself... good v.s. evil.. jacob v.s. the man in black, for the LOST fans out there... and this time, good prevails. he finally trapped himself in the corner and bam, victory was mine! 

I would like to give a shout out to the man that helped me the entire time... NAX!!!!

He told me where to go and where not to go... muahahaha! Ashame its only going to buy you a week. I am happy with my performance the past two rounds... and my story continues! 

and the best part... it was one of my bombs that took out Nax! 

[Woods]

woke up this morning... and thought about something... Animal is going to give Brenda 50 rupees, which puts me at the bottom of the totem pole for rupees out of our F5 group...

Hopefully episode 7 journals, winning MVP, winning Immunity and episode 8 journals gets me a good amount of rupees and will put me above Brenda...

if The Untouchables twist goes down F7, I'd be screwed... unless I play my express pass to fly by this twist at the F7! Guess we'll find out... tonight, we get rid of Ricky... then if the Untouchables Twist doesn't happen, I'll have to use my pass if I can... to avoid that twist... because only Jedda and Brookie would be left... and I dont want to go to Redemption Cove with them... well maybe Jedda and his cool accent!

[Woods]

sandy asked me at tribal: what was your favorite moment from the game so far...

I wanted to say, "voting nicoles ass out and then winning immunity by beating ricky in the final 2..." BUT... they are already bitter enough dont want to rub it in their face...

[Woods]

Are you kidding me? What a joke... Ricky got Brookie to quit the game to save him in this game...

What a joke... and now hes like, 'FINAL 8 guys!" ... well, see ya at the Final 8 tribal council... b/c you'll just go next week!

Ricky was supposed to go this week... now I have to beat him again... 

[Woods]

Episode 9 

We just got back from Tribal Council where Brookie quit...  What a f*n joke... i swear shes fake, I swear shes a man... but at the end of the day, Im happy as hell... I outlasted Brookie... Minor goal reached! 

Some interesting things came out at Tribal... 

"Right now, I would have to say that Animal is in the best position to win this game. He's been strategically active, is at least friendly with everyone, the jury - whoever they turn out to be - shouldn't have any reason to hate him. He's played clean and strong so far..."  - NAX

Friendly with everyone?!?! Nax, I havent listend to you talk for 3 hours about your business and show interest in shit I don't care anything about... I havent talked to nicole about work and school... and listened to ricky with his family situation? Ive tried to talk to Jedda... I TRIED... no one tried in return accept for Ricky, to an extent, surprising.  He's played clean? haha. Nicole is still bleeding from her throat apparently, due to Animal's betrayal... but hes clean, youre right grandpa! 

"Animal. Purely on his strategy, he is loveable, friendly, polite and he isn't ALWAYS about the game. I can talk to him about absolutely anything on a personal level and he is just so pleasant to be around. I'd definitely love to see him win. But there are definitely others here who I could see winning and whom I feel deserve the win as well." - Jedda 

Once again, no one ever gave me a change at trying to be social with them on anything outside of the game. I tried. I loved talking to jedda about australia but the conversation always fell on deaf ears... 


"Animal will win the game and he deserves it. The reason for this is because he is fiercely loyal to Woods and Brenda; and even though him and I thought were on the same page, he totally duped me and good for him. He will without a doubt get my vote if he makes the final two because he made an idiot out of me. I let me guard down and that was completely my fault." - Ricky

We are all  loyal to each other, so Im not sure why that gives him the one up... and he couldn't have duped you WITHOUT me... so it was't just animal that made an idiot out of you, it was #TeamAnimalHouse 


but like Animal said... these people are just trying to save themselves so that they can survive another week...  by putting animal in the spotlight! 

At least Brookie is gone! 

[Woods]

We have reached the Final 8... if Sandy pulls the trigger on the Untouchables twist, I'll be ok... I think. if he doesn't, I am going to take the calculated risk and use my express pass on the Final 7 round... I'll make up some excuse on why I can't be here... They know I am going to use it when they dont really need me.. the final 7, when its US - 5, Them - 2 would be perfect. It avoids the Untouchables Twist and I use it the way I told them I would...

[Woods]

I have 54 rupees... brenda has 19... if Animal gives her 50, she'll have 69 to my 54... and I dont think i can catch up to her with episode 8 and 9 rupees... so I need to figure out if I want to talk animal out of giving her rupees, or take the risk and use the express pass to avoid the thing all together...

If we are live for this tribal, the tribal could end with the people with the lowest number of rupees being exiled right from Tribal... no better time to drop that twist than at a tribal council.

must do research...

[Woods]

This is the immunity challenge I didn't want to take part in... AWKWARD!

If I knew this was going to the be the immunity challenge, it may have been smarter to use my express pass this round! haha but I need them rupees!

I hit Animal with all the positives and hit Jedda with all the borderline negatives, only due to his inactiveness due to time zone, no other reason... then Nax and Ricky with the negatives...

This is obviously going to be one of those challenges where we have a doll hanging and 3 hits knocks us out... but with some different format... thats why we have to be live... so many questions though. haha. we must have a lot to hit!

I hate watching this challenge on TV and I hate playing it here...

No hard feelings guys!

[Woods]

Its been a pretty quiet day... about 4 hours before the second part of the immunity challenge and live tribal council, I finally had a chance to sit down with you.

Woods: hey joe!

Joe: Hey

Woods: just wanted to touch base and see what the move was for tonight
before tonight

Joe: Ricky. Nax if Ricky wins?
That sounds alright?

woods: yeah, im down .
i just wanted to make sure i didnt miss anything

Joe: Cool. There's more I wanna discuss later when we're both free. Nothing huge though so don't worry lol.

Woods: lol. ut oh!
i wonder if its the same thing i been thinking bout

Joe: I have no idea lmao.

I wonder what this "more" he would like to discuss entails... if I know Joe, the way I think I know Joe, he is going to discuss the end game. This would be huge. If he wants me to go to the end with him, I know for a fact I'll get there because Joe is a phenomenal player. When he wants shit done, it gets done... if he wants us in the final 2 ( or 3! ), I know thats what is going to happen. I just hope his plan involves Animal! 

[Woods]

The way the rest of this game shall go... if I have my way...

Final 8: Ricky goes home

Final 7: I may use my express pass to avoid the Untouchables Twist. A risky move but with Animal having those 50 rupees to give to Brenda, that would put me in the bottom. So I am going to skip over that round. Nax goes home.

Final 6: Jedda

Final 5: Jermaine goes home

Final 4: Brenda / Joe or Animal goes home... haha. As long as it is not me!

[Woods]

If you are Untouchable your life in this game is hanging on the line. At any moment (already predetermined), the Untouchables will be exiled from camp and forced to live at Redemption, being stripped of all Brahmin privileges. During this process they will have to earn their way back into the tribe. One Untouchable will not be so lucky.


what if the untouchable twist happens at 9:30? Any moment... they will be stripped of Brahmin privileges. Let's be serious, what privileges does the Brahmin tribe have? 

1.) Competing
2.) winning immunity
3.) Attending Tribal Council

We arrive for part 2... and Jedda, Ricky and Nax are exiled right there on the spot and only Animal, Joe, Brenda, Jermaine and I play this rounds immunity challenge. 

Our Final 5 would then have to turn on one of our own... and depending on who wins Immunity, it would be Jermaine or Brenda.... taking us down to the final 7... and then Jedda, Ricky or Nax would go home, taking us down to the final 7! 

We compete in the final 7... we take out Ricky/Nax/Jedda... leaving us at F6... i use my Express pass... not because I want to but because "its the last time I can use it"... taking me the F5 with 

Animal, Joe, Jermaine/Brenda, Ricky/Nax/Jedda, Woods... 

We take out the enemies... (Ricky/Nax/Jedda)... taking us to the final 4... 

As long as Brenda/Jermaine don't win the final immunity, Animal Joe and I will be in the final 3... 

and if the Untouchable twist doesnt happen this round, I need to express myself through next round to avoid it.

never hurts having a plan!!!! 

[Woods]

Wow. Jedda wins immunity... The best I could have gotten was 2nd in that immunity challenge. I picked Ricky to get pushed off a cliff... and I said Nax because everyone else did... other than that, I had the rest wrong.

I was really surprised by these answers, to an extent... I really don't think I am self-centered... I dont see why people think that. Thats kind of annoying, in a sense. I don't see myself that way... shocked other people do!

I just hope its no indication of what is going to happen here tonight... I think I am a little more likable than Ricky, Nax!

[Woods]

if i go tonight, I'll be ok... I know i went out as the the biggest challenge threat... going out with my head held high...
