I hated having to vote for Bob Dawg. Silas suggested using the idol on him to get him to be fully loyal to me to the end. Should I have? Perhaps. But based on the inability of this alliance to compromise on a name for a target, I really felt like there's a good chance I would be screwed if we went to a tribal council without it and I wasn't immune. I went through like every target possibility with everyone this past vote and it had to be Bob Dawg to reach a compromise.
Ami accidentally warned Bob Dawg he was the target, and then I confirmed it to him AFTER the voting deadline. I think this may have earned me some respect in Bob Dawg's eyes, but everyone realizes what I did and will probably think it was made to get me his jury vote. It was mainly made because I didn't see the need to continuously lie to him when no one was going to use a prize on him and it was completely clear.
I think I may have scared Ami by telling her how I felt like it was useful to lie to targets and make them feel safe. I need to work around that and try to re-establish trust with her since she's key to my safety. I trust Silas more than anyone actually and am pretty comfortable with Ralph even though I know he's playing all sides. I think Lex is actually a dangerous strategist, and I'm pretty sure he threw out some lies that influenced our last vote. I also don't trust Gary at all. And Lex, Yul, and John, I talk to occasionally, but we acknowledge the fact that we're now on different sides.
I'll try to win immunity to save the idol, but it would be fun to lose and play it on myself to send someone on the opposition home.

As far as immunity goes, I have a technique that I think could win it in about 10 seconds, but should I risk it since we're not allowed to edit or delete? I need to think about this and probably practice tomorrow before the deadline to see.
Ami and I talked about Survivor for a while, so I feel more comfortable about her now.

The only pic that has to include Russell is the first one for each day, the others of challenges, camp, and TC can be any.  |

YES! I won the challenge the old-fashioned way just by pre-typing everything, disabling images, and not doing anything else special.
No one is responding to my messages on AIM now, so I'm just sending Ralph to Ubirr since he has all the clues. I feel like the trend since the merge has been me winning immunity, Ralph going to Ubirr. I'm sure the opposition is hating it now, and it makes it more important to keep the idol for later when I'll definitely be targeted.

I want to crack the opposition of 3 this vote (Yul, Lex, John), but I have the feeling we'll end up compromising on voting for Gary. Ideally, we need to get me, Ralph, Silas, Ami, and Ralph's double vote set on our target for the vote.
I don't intend to use my idol this round either, but I'll pretend that I'm considering it. If Ralph can get something else from the Wheel of Fortune to make the round easier, that would be best.

I really don't want to use my idol, but I may have to use it on Ralph for him to stay. Silas and I are discussing possibilities to get through this vote without having to use it. The key method may be convincing Ami to vote for Gary or Lex, but we need Ralph to come back so he can play his double vote.
Silas: lol john is asking if i'd vote out ralph
Russell: -______-
Russell: Hopefully he wouldn't lie to you.
Russell: We could start threatening people with the idol, lol.
Russell: "If you vote Ralph, Russell will play the idol on him and we will send YOU home."
Silas: lol let's not do that yet
---
Russell: If Ami will only vote Lex or John, don't upset her by forcing Gary.
Silas: i'm trying to make a deal with her
Silas: where i go lex this round for her to go gary next
Russell: That sounds very good.
Silas: i guess it's lex now
Russell: Fine.
Russell: Now we need Ralph, lol.
Russell: My PM will have the subject: "VOTE LEX, AND VOTE HIM AGAIN WITH YOUR DOUBLE VOTE"
Silas: lolol
Silas: now amy is all "well you've brought up good points about gary"
Russell: I'lw ait.
Silas: let's see what she decides
Russell: *I'll wait.
Russell: lol
Russell: Watch Ralph sign in, vote, get off, and she chooses Gary.

This is frustrating because I may have to waste my idol because Ralph works too late. Is that even worth it? If he's not even online to coordinate votes with, that could cost me the game next vote if I'm idol-less. At the same time, Silas and I would be down to 2 or 3 people with Ralph gone. So, if Ralph doesn't come back, I don't know what to do.

Depending on what Gary does, Silas (or possibly Ralph) could easily be voted out since Ralph will probably miss the deadline. We'll wing it and see what happens, but I'm nervous that I'm about to fall into a minority which could easily be avoided if Ralph showed up.
Should I play my idol on Silas? Perhaps... I don't think I'm going to since there's a chance that this could still work out without him if Gary actually votes Lex. I think it's going to be 4-3-1 or 4-3-2 though either way.
