Well, Cyndi blew the challenge for us. Nobody else even went yet and we are already french toast. I have no reason to waste my time attempting it, she took over an hour to find a key. Either there was an error or she doesn't know what the hell she is doing, I guess we'll never know. Regardless I am not going to squander the last inactive buffer player because of her poor performance again. Thinks are going to get tense after this TC anyway so why not stay ahead of the game. I am waiting until we officially lose the challenge but I will be attempting to put my plan into effect. The plan, if successful, guarantees tribal dominance (which means safety) until a merger/ tribe mix up. If unsuccessful my stay in Estonia will be cut very very short. This will be a gamble indeed. I think, I really really THINK I can trust Jen and Ian to stay with me on this. As long as I have that much, worst case scenario is a 3v3 tribe, The X factor is Colin. I need to convince him to vote with me. The mark as of now is Cyndi, it makes a lot of sense but depending on Colin's alliances it could change and not matter so much. Cyndi is easy to pass off as a scapegoat with Colin instead of revealing my alliance. I would like to keep Nikki because she is strong but I'll do what is necessary to make this work. I cant believe I did this but I am talking with Ian about it now...

Jen and Ian appear to be on board. the biggest challenge for me now is deciding if I should get Colin or Nikki in on this, maybe both? I began grooming Nikki tonight, we pretty much formed a verbal alliance and I am not just using her, I fully intend on keeping it because she is a very strong player, I am hesitant to tell her though because I have a feeling she is working with Cyndi. I think she understands the politics of the game enough still eventually be able to trust me if I end up leaving her out of this. Couldn't risk you telling Cyndi, wasn't sure if I could trust you yet, blah blah blah, join me or be the odd man out.

So Jen and I formed a new fake trio with Colin. He has absolutely no idea Ian is in on this. I don't plan on screwing him, I just call it fake because my loyalties lie with Ian over Colin, I still hope to be able to work with Colin. I talked him in to voting Cyndi to achieve indefinite safety. I am scared to death he's got other plans in mind but I noticed that during my pitch he went from "no, why would we do that" to "ok you know what? It's risky but it's actually a good plan" to "ok lets do it" You have to be a pretty good liar to fake that very human reaction so my faith is high but I'm still going in nervous, I have a lot of people I'm not sure I can trust that I'm counting on. I also am worried Ian will be a no show, he's not online much anymore, and Jen could be playing us all like fools. I'll know pretty quick what's going to happen once the votes start getting read. If there is even one with my name on it, someone spilt the beans and it's over for me. It's pretty much a waiting game now. Waiting for Ian and Jen yo get online so I can tell them it's on, waiting and hoping Cyndi or Nikki don't talk to my guys and change their mind, waiting to make sure my allies are loyal and have the balls to go through with it, and waiting to see if I'll be saying goodbye tonight or explaining to Nikki I now own her.
In the nicest way possible of course.

Colin is a rat and Jen turned against me on it. Oh what could have been... Looks like I went all in and lost. I will soon meet my impending doom
