Well here we are, final 7. We finally make the jury stage of the game! It's gonna be pretty interesting this season. Only 5 jurors. This means you only need 3 votes to win.......or lose. It's gonna be really hard for me because I'm close with a lot of people and have many alliances going on. (me and clayton, me and jenn, me sean and ektor, me and ektor, etc.). So I have to be very careful how I play the rest of this game. As of now, my first target will be Kyle. He and Torah are the only 2 people left that I've never made alliances with. Problem is that there are still 3 original Heqets left. True, that tribe was forever ago, but you never know. This is a numbers game, and let's face it. 3 Heqets. 7 total players. End of story. 4-3 is an easy way to convince everyone else that the next vote should be for a Heqet. I've already got Ektor and Torah in, so once Sean is in with this, one of them is gone. It doesn't really matter which one goes, I'm not gonna get too pushy about it, (see Morgan and what happens when you get pushy about who needs to go). But hopefully they'll go along with a Kyle vote.

Well, guess we'll see what happens. For now, IT'S ZOMBIE KILLING TIME!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!

So for today, I have decided to write about the final 7, plus give you all a sneak peck into my stratedgy so far, (just in case you're like scimming through the episodes.....naughty naughty!)..

Andrew: The coolest dude ever! Seriously, he should like model or something! Best player in Surv1vor history! Will totally win!

Ektor: I want to take him to the final 2. He would be the easiest person to beat, mostly cause nobody likes him very much, (although in hindsight I probably should have kept Morgan around just for jury purposes..oh well too late). Not to mention he's not very active at all. It seems like all he cares about is those flash games, (monkey ball rocks by the way! everything else......not so much). I think I've got him under control too, so he's a great ally. Odds are though, that he'll get voted out before then, so I have to be aware of when that happens and vote accordingly.

Sean: If I can't take Ektor to the finals, Sean would be my next choice. Sean has really started to get inactive, which is gonna kill him. Plus, he really hasn't made any moves this season, so I could say I played the game, while he rode coattails, (which he has).

Torah: I think it could be 50-50 with us. I do think that she will be a useful ally, but she is likeable, (albeit a threat, which is why some are talking about offing her). Still, Torah could be beaten, which is why I would take her to at least final 4.

Kyle: I think Kyle would be the next easiest to beat, mostly cause again, he hasn't played a very hard game at all. 2 problems, one he has Clayton and probably Jenn's votes in the final 2. Plus, he's not one of my many allies, so I feel he needs to go next.

Clayton: In Survivor Envious, I was convinced I could whip his ass in the final 2. In this game...I'm less convinced. He has Jenn and Kyle as automatic votes, so I would need to get the other 3 to vote for me. Not easily done, although I'm sure I would at least get Sean and Ektor's votes. Torah would be the deciding vote.....

Jenn: Everyone says she's unbeatable. I could argue that I've played a way better game than she has, so she could be beaten. However, if everyone's convinced she's unbeatable now...if I take her to the finals, everyone will think I'm stupid and probably vote for her, meaning I lose. So no go for Jenny.

As for my stratedgy...it's really simple if you think about it...

1) I've used the numbers to my advantage. Whenever there were lots of people from one particular tribe, (i.e. now with 3 original Heqets in the final 7) I would simply use that to get everyone else to target them. It's been so easy to gather the votes. It's not me being controlling at all, I'm only suggesting it and letting the others get paranoid.

2) Suggesting, not forcing: Again, trying to force the vote means you go. Ask Morgan about that. But if you act humble and SUGGEST someone vote a certain way, it works much better that way. And I definently try to make it seem like it's smart for everyone, which sometimes it is. But usually it benefits me most. So suggest, not force. That's how I've gotten Scott, Michael, Syd, and Morgan out. Another benefit is that if I only suggest things, I'm not really seen as a stratedgic threat, which of course is important at this stage of the game.

3) Acting ignorant: This is what I'm gonna start doing. Because I am in an alliance with many people, I'll have to screw them over eventually. However, I need to be smart about this and act like I don't know what's going on. Mostly that means that I suggest someone go, then when getting swing votes, I act like it's what everyone is doing, so I'm only going along with the flow. I plan on really cranking this into gear at final 6.

There's a few other things involved, (lying comes to mind) but overall, those a few reasons why I will hopefully win this game.

[Andrew]

Plenty going on today. First off, I finally made my move to get a final 4 going. I'm a little worried that it might have been a little soon, but at final 7, getting a final 4 together is the smartest thing you can do. This final 4 consists of me Ektor Sean and Torah, basically another Anti-Heqet alliance, (dang, what's my problem with Heqet anyway, lol).

The main reason I wanted these 3 is because I felt they were the 3 most beatable people left in the end. Ektor is a no brainer, Sean isn't active anymore, and Torah...well at least I don't have to worry about her getting an automatic 2 votes in the final 2, (like I do with any of the Heqets, the 2 that get in the jury will likely vote for the one in the final 2, no matter which combination you use).


Now, here's the problem. I wanted to get this alliance going and make it sound like we would be an equal final 4 and fight it out at the end. Now because I had wanted to take Ektor to the end, I had talked to him about what we would do from final 4 on. He said Sean first, Torah second. Okay, I'd rather do it the other way, since Sean is at least in our Slave alliance, but that's fine.

So what does Ektor do with this info? Well he goes to Torah and offers her a final 4 with the slaves. Very good! Problem, he says that me, him and Sean are in an alliance and want Torah to join. Um.......bad. Looking from Torah's point of view, she probably already thought that Sean Ektor and me had an alliance, (true, but we don't want her to think that). So now she probably won't trust us.

Oh but Ektor tells her she won't finish 4th, Sean will and she'll finish 3rd.

...............................AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How stupid can you get Ektor!?!?!?!?!?! Does he really think Torah is dumb or somethiing?! What that tells her is that me and Ektor are teaming up for the final 2 and that even if we're being honest with her about voting Sean out at 4, the best she can hope for is 3rd!!!!!! And sure enough, she asked me about it. I had to completely lie to her and say that I had no idea about it and that I hadn't thought about final 2 yet..... I doubt she bought it. Now I'm pretty convinced that she'll probably use this info and run to the Heqets and then me Ektor and Sean get picked off.

So basically Ektor's stupidity may have just ruined my game. That's the last straw. I can handle him not really being into this game and jus floating around, I can handle him being an ass to other people, (see Morgan), heck I can even handle him consistently bugging me to play flash games over talking stratedgy!!! But being a crappy player and nearly ruining my game does it. I'm through with Ektor. Yes he's an easy win at final 2, but heck, if I try to take him to the finals, he'll bring me down with him! He is now expendable to me.

My new plan is to off Ektor soon. Once Kyle is out, I'm taking the crappy player out. My new final 2 plan will either be Torah or Sean. I can beat Sean easily. And I can beat Torah, not easily but I can beat her.

So that's my rant for the day. By the way, on a happier note, me and Torah have really bonded over the past week. She is now my favorite Egyptian player, lol. Plus if she does decide to go to Heqet, then at least I'm sure I would not be first, in fact I'd probably be saved for last, so final 5. So not all is bad in Andrew's world. Just Ektor is what's bad and he's going soon.

[Andrew]

Alrighty! I won immunity! And considering that I would have won the first one if I hadn't thrown it to Ektor, I'd say this is the best I've ever done in challenges in any game! It's also very lucky I won because I sent Clayton to Exile. I had had thoughts that whoever got sent to Exile would not get to vote at this tribal counsil. So picking Clayton was a good move on my part. And lucky.

There will be 6 votes at tribal, me Sean Torah Ektor Jenn and Kyle. Me Sean and Ektor are for sure voting Kyle out. Jenn and Kyle are likely voting Sean out. That leaves Torah. I'm still worried because of Ektor's stupid move, but I think she will stick with us in the end...........I hope.

Speaking of which, I confronted Ektor about why the hell he made it sound like he and me were final 2 bound and that the best Torah could hope for is 3rd. He admitted it was a mistake. Then he said I made a dumb move for telling Torah that I wouldn't take Ektor to the final 2 because he doesn't deserve it. Um....Ektor? If you hadn't been so stupid as to TELL TORAH SHE'S FINISHING BEHIND ME AND YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PULL A CRAPPY LIE OUT OF MY BUTT ON THE SPOT!!!!!! Oh well. Even if Torah betrays us, (which wouldn't shock me all that much) at least I wouldn't go this round. However it would be pretty much inevitable that I would go soon enough, so I really need Torah to go through with this.
