The priority this round is preventing Ami and Gary from teaming back up with John and Yul and managing to keep the Ralph/Russell/Silas alliance strong.
I'm getting concerned that Ralph may start to feel he's in a comfortable position without me because everyone sees how he self-voted and is hardly around, so they may want to sit next to him in the finals. I'll be perceived as the person who has been most responsible for sending him to Ubirr every round while Silas and I will be held responsible for the strategic moves that our alliance has made. So if Ralph wants to win, I think he needs to betray at least me. And I bet that he is thinking just so that. So I need to keep winning immunity challenges and the next KOI, try to keep Ralph and Silas together and with me, and hopefully make Silas a total final two commitment where we'll watch Ralph to make sure he doesn't turn with, for instance, Ami.

Now I have to either play overly safe and waste the idol unnecessarily or play too risky and potentially get 7th. There's really no balance, but looking at this objectively, the worst-worst case scenario would be me not playing the idol and going home. Thus I think I should play the idol so I can at least get 6th place. And then it just comes down to hoping I can win challenges and depend on my allies.

I was told that I was going to be targeted and voted for by Yul. Is this just to get me to waste the idol? Or do they want me to think that and are hoping I don't waste the idol and they vote me out?
Fun times.

I'm probably going to provide a series of constant updates on my thoughts this round, but no one has responded to any of my IMs in about 3 hours. Lol, what are they doing?
The cast is so quiet now. In general, not just this specific moment.

Russell: I'll be going out for an hour or so in a little, but otherwise, I plan to be on most of the day.
Russell: To figure this out.
Silas: sounds good
Russell: If Ralph never shows, I'll probably play the idol.
Russell: Lol.
Russell: Because without him, we're screwed.
Russell: I just have to guess the right person to play it on.
Silas: yep it's a hard choice
Silas: i'd be curious to see what i can find out from others
Russell: When people get on, yeah.
Russell: Worst-case scenario, could you get everyone to agree to target me? Pretend to be on board? I pull out the idol and Gary goes?
Russell: Idk, that might be too obvious.
Silas: we'd have to see
Silas: how realistic of a goal it is
Are these the words of someone loyal?

Everyone has a different story. I really can't figure this out at all. Ami said Gary and signed right off. Gary said Ralph and signed right off. Yul said I'm the target. John now says he and Yul are voting Gary and isn't mentioning his chat with Yul. Ralph wants me to use the idol on him; I think I'll use it on myself because I am going to be away today and will be weak in a tiebreaker. I know it's selfish, but it's final 6.

Ugh, I'm so nervous about whether or not to play the idol here.
