Stranded in Kuril Islands

ooooooooweeeeeee you made it! Another week in the books

Why don't you go head and answer these here questions, partna

1. The Jury has been very opinionated during tribals recently. Are you picking up on anything that is gonna influence your strategy immediately or in the future?

2. Are there people still in the game who you think would vote for you if they were on the jury? Do you plan to put them there?

3. What is motivating your targets from this point on? Is challenge strength a consideration? social strength? Something else? (Don't just say strategy, give us a blueprint)

4. Has anything changed with your ideal final tribal council opponents? Who do you want to sit with and why?

Can I just start off by saying the the jury is being fucking annoying with all the emojis? And I think it is a littttle questionable that players are allowed to interact with them through emojis. And sometimes even through words (Gillian). If it were my choice I would say that jury members were only allowed to upvote/downvote posts. I think this would be more similar to Survivor, where you can see reactions from the jury but not talk to them. Gillian using emojis to talk with Reem and Susie is like if a player started using sign language to communicate with people on the jury. Yeah, it's technically not talking with them, but it's definitely interacting. But I digress. Ron and Chris seem sure that Gillian has three solid votes on the jury based on their reactions, and Randy and Ron sure seem unpopular. I'm trying not to think about it too much, because I don't know what most of their emojis mean in the first place; instead I'm just going with what I know from my past in the game, and my relationships with people in the game and on jury.

I believe that Gillian would vote for me only if I didn't have an obvious hand in getting her out. She's very vengeful. I'm pretty sure Charlie would vote for me. I'm not sure about the other boys, but I don't think I would be completely written off by any of them. I want to go to the end with Charlie for sure, and at this point the third person is up in the air for me. Possibly Randy. I definitely don't want to be sitting next to Ron or Chris in the end---ESPECIALLY not Chris.

I'm not as worried about challenge strength at this point. Now I'm more worried about who would be willing to take me to the end, and who I could beat. Those are the two main questions that I ask myself when deciding on a target.

I am questioning if I want to sit next to Gillian now, because I think it could benefit me to have all of the girls on the jury. I still feel good sitting next to Charlie. I think that sitting next to Charlie and Randy would be an option, but I'm not sure if Randy would take me.

We will be stricter about Gillian's interaction with the jury, she was warned during the last council.
