Hallo, PWs!
So, things got really interesting this round. Darrah and I were in another game together, and in round one of that game, everybody on the tribe made an alliance with her, specifically to be bitches and blindside her at the first tribal council. It was, bar none, one of the meanest things that I have seen happen to a person. This, of course, happens something like a day after Darrah gets blindsided by the Gabe vote, so she was already pissed off, and then this other game punts her in the face and votes her off first. That sucked for her, and I genuinely felt bad, especially when the other people on my tribe were purposely mocking her and picking fights with her so they could all laugh about her reactions. Darrah totally didn't deserve to be treated that way, because nobody deserves to be treated that way.
So, because I actually don't like it when people are cruel to other people in ORGs, I decided to go and attempt to apologize to her. Her response to my apology was to tell me that because I was one of the ones that voted for her, I had no right to apologize. Well, what the hell? It was a unanimous vote, and I wasn't gonna commit suicide for her.
Then, and here's the icing on the cake, Darrah decides that she needs revenge on me. That's right. I'm the one person that tried to treat her with any dignity or respect, and my reward is that she wants me out this round.
And, what's insane about this is that she actually stood a reasonably good chance of doing it, too, because Charlie didn't want to vote for her! He told me he didn't know what he'd do if it came down to Darrah or me, because he didn't want to break his promise OR vote me off. JT might have voted for her, but he obviously knows I'm a threat, so I don't think he'd be dumb enough to keep me around. So it would have been a tie or else my alliance would have dumped me like a hot potato.
So naturally I just busted my butt throughout the challenge, and thankfully my anal-retentive mental spell-check kept me from getting anybody's name wrong.
What really sucks about this is that I have to get rid of Darrah, now. So, basically, all of my apologies are just gonna come across as fake BS, when really I honestly don't have any enmity towards her at all. But there's really just no other option. My entire gameplan hinges on Kim and Christa being willing to stay loyal to me, and for all I know they're just going to ditch me and vote me off to increase their chances of winning. In a situation that's this tenuous, the last thing I need is Darrah constantly reminding everybody that I'm a huge threat.
So, yeah. Unless everybody's lying to me, Darrah's going to be gone. And then, hopefully, JT and Charlie will go, leaving my alliance at the final three, and then it really just comes down to Immunity. Kim's a massive jury threat, and I honestly could see it being a good idea to vote her off, except that, well, I just don't want to. As much as I like to win, I also like to look back on a game and say that I kept my promises. I promised her we'd be in the end together, and I fully intend to keep that promise. If I win the final Immunity, then I probably won't take her to the finals, because I promised Christa first, but I might. There's still a significant amount of game left to play.
