JT and I spoke late last night.
I believe my suspicions on JT were true. We briefly started talking about alliances and sticking together. He asked me out of the tribe who I liked ... and since early in the conversation he asked me about Lex, I knew that he did not want to work with him.
Which is very unfortunate. What I said about Lex was true as well ... that he's interesting, but I can't see myself fully trusting him or wanting to be in a long term alliance with him.
So when JT asked what I thought about the rest of the Tribe I told the truth ... I was close with Mikey, and that John and I had a somewhat cold conversation that got easier as time went on ... and that Alex and I have never spoken.
Then JT proposes the five of us should have an alliance.
I do not want to be in an alliance with those four people.
JT would hold all the power in that situation. I know JT and Mikey are close, and it sounds like JT and Alex are close too. And it clearly means we'll be getting rid of Lex next. Which, honestly, isn't a big deal ... just kind of disappointing because I'd like to see what Lex does later on in this game.
What I'm nervous about is if we lose this Immunity and Lex goes, and we lose the next ... what happens? Why are we making a Final Five alliance right now when we might all not be together in a few days anyways. When we may have to vote someone out of the five in a few days? It makes no sense to me.
Which makes me think JT already has some deals worked into this Final Five. I can totally see myself as the fifth wheel in that. I'd like to think that Mikey would let me know if that were the case ... unless Alex/John/JT are together. Which I don't think is likely, but, you never know.
So now I'm suspicious of JT. I said to him I wanted to really make sure that the five of us would stick together, even if we all switched around and met up again later, that it'd us five to the end. Which I clearly do not care about, but, I figured if he thinks I'm going to be super loyal ... the better for me.
So now I'm helping develop a Final Five alliance with Alex/John, who I never really speak to or care about and I'm sure don't care about me, and Mikey/JT, who I am close to, but could potentially be smart enough to stab me in the back the first chance they get.
I'm walking a fine line ... I hope we win Immunity, keep Lex safe, and then switch around so I don't have to pretend to be loyal and love this stupid alliance I'm in.JT: (12:28:04 AM) u there sandra?.

JT: (2:05:57 AM) im just giving u a hard time...its fine hah
JT: (2:06:06 AM) did u see the challenge?
McLuke87: (2:06:22 AM) lol, no worries =P
McLuke87: (2:06:25 AM) i just finished reading it
McLuke87: (2:06:38 AM) so i guess we do the individual lists in our confessoinals to see who goes to iburr (or whatever its called)
McLuke87: (2:06:42 AM) and then submit one tribal one?
JT: (2:06:46 AM) yea
JT: (2:06:54 AM) idk how we will decide the tribal one
JT: (2:07:06 AM) i guess we'd all have to be online at the same time?
McLuke87: (2:07:36 AM) i think maybe someone can just post a list and we can all go back and forth on it, agreeing or disagreeing
JT: (2:08:00 AM) it says were not supposed to reveal our answers though
McLuke87: (2:08:03 AM) i find it odd though, because i feel like that'll slightly give away our individual lists
JT: (2:08:05 AM) wich is why im confused
McLuke87: (2:08:07 AM) yea
McLuke87: (2:08:30 AM) i jsut msged the host, i'll ask him about it
JT: (2:08:40 AM) yea me too lol
McLuke87: (2:08:54 AM) its definitely a little counter-intuitive =P

McLuke87: (2:13:54 AM) i just asked
McLuke87: (2:13:57 AM) we had a little banter going on
McLuke87: (2:13:58 AM) haha
McLuke87: (2:14:04 AM) but we have the logistics right
JT: (2:14:20 AM) Host Rob 2:11 am
You can influence your tribe list based on your decision
JT: (2:14:28 AM) thats wat he said to me
McLuke87: (2:15:32 AM) yes, he's kind of telling me the same thing, and that he realizes there is an element of our own lists coming into play for the tribal list
JT: (2:16:05 AM) basically we all hav to be online at the same time so we dont give away r own lists
McLuke87: (2:18:41 AM) ya i think your right
McLuke87: (2:18:53 AM) well, we could start
McLuke87: (2:19:03 AM) and then post in the confessoinal and say "we both think these are the right answers"
McLuke87: (2:19:08 AM) *post in the tribe forum
JT: (2:19:30 AM) ok!
JT: (2:19:36 AM) sum of them r easy
JT: (2:19:53 AM) how do u wana do it?
JT: (2:20:04 AM) just each of us say who we think for each?
McLuke87: (2:20:44 AM) yea i think thats good!
JT: (2:20:50 AM) ok #1
JT: (2:20:53 AM) jim/tom w
McLuke87: (2:20:56 AM) i think tom
JT: (2:20:58 AM) same
JT: (2:21:02 AM) 2
JT: (2:21:04 AM) benry/parv
McLuke87: (2:21:09 AM) parv?
JT: (2:21:18 AM) i think parv
McLuke87: (2:21:29 AM) just a sec ... im gonna ask the host if this is ok
McLuke87: (2:21:29 AM) lol
JT: (2:21:40 AM) lol
JT: (2:21:48 AM) i cant think of any other way
McLuke87: (2:22:32 AM) unless we wait till everyone does their personal lists first
McLuke87: (2:23:03 AM) yes, he said wait until all the personal lists are done first
McLuke87: (2:23:07 AM) then we can collaborate on the tribe list
McLuke87: (2:23:21 AM) because our personal ones will have been saved and submitted and won't be influenced
JT: (2:23:38 AM) hopefully they dont take long
JT: (2:23:42 AM) did u submit urs?
McLuke87: (2:24:02 AM) i feel like people will probably do it tomorrow. when i saw an IC was scheduled for 11pm saturday i wasn't too optimistic too many people would be online
McLuke87: (2:24:11 AM) yea i just submitted mine. you?
JT: (2:24:21 AM) yea i submitted mine a few hours ago
JT: (2:24:41 AM) alex was online earlier...i 4got to ask him if he did
McLuke87: (2:25:36 AM) im fairly confident everyone will submit. we got lucky with our tribe ... even though some people didn't post too quickly last round, everyone at least tried
JT: (2:26:25 AM) yea def...i think the person we voted out was the most active outta the 5 that wer voted out
McLuke87: (2:26:40 AM) i agree
McLuke87: (2:26:44 AM) did you ever talk to adam?
JT: (2:26:58 AM) yea a few times
McLuke87: (2:27:38 AM) bahaha rob just clarified in the IC thread that we can start tribal discussions once all the individual lists are done =P
McLuke87: (2:27:50 AM) he IMed me yesterday, but then went offline like a minute later
JT: (2:28:54 AM) yea i saw rob posted hahhah
JT: (2:29:12 AM) and yea adam was from the phillippines and didnt speak english that good
McLuke87: (2:30:19 AM) lol, awwww poor guy
McLuke87: (2:30:52 AM) i think we made the right choice ... i think lex will be more active
JT: (2:31:08 AM) i hope so
JT: (2:31:15 AM) what do u think of him?
McLuke87: (2:31:59 AM) i think he's a tad eccentric ... but, if he's going to be online and active, at least he's there. and good for him for being committed to the role he's decided to play for himself ... haha
McLuke87: (2:32:00 AM) you?
JT: (2:33:00 AM) yea i agree...he never really seems to make effort to talk to me tho
JT: (2:33:24 AM) idk bout u...but whenever i talk to him its me iming him...except for when he thought he was goin home last round
McLuke87: (2:34:11 AM) yes that's been my experience as well
McLuke87: (2:34:30 AM) and it's hard to talk to him ... i feel like he gives short responses and the conversation falls a little flat
JT: (2:34:57 AM) agreed
JT: (2:35:06 AM) and like u said...hes very into the character hes playin
JT: (2:35:17 AM) always mentions parEyin
JT: (2:35:26 AM) *partEyin
McLuke87: (2:35:41 AM) he was the first person i talked to ... and i was like "oh shit, if people are all like this in this series, i won't last very long" hha
McLuke87: (2:35:46 AM) bahaha
McLuke87: (2:36:00 AM) yea, he mentioned the word "parteyy" a lot to me
McLuke87: (2:36:18 AM) i think its cute for now but ... i dont see him really going too far or winning or anything
JT: (2:36:35 AM) i kno alot of ppl were annoyed with him
McLuke87: (2:36:54 AM) i heard that
McLuke87: (2:37:14 AM) i'm not too annoyed by it ... like i said i think its kind of funny
McLuke87: (2:37:28 AM) but i would never ask him for an alliance or really ever trust him
JT: (2:37:55 AM) agreed
JT: (2:38:10 AM) outside of him...i really like the rest of our tribe
McLuke87: (2:38:37 AM) i agree
McLuke87: (2:38:48 AM) i haven't spoken to alex too much, but it's probably just the timing of when we're online
McLuke87: (2:38:53 AM) he seemed nice when we first talked
JT: (2:39:08 AM) yea...i really hope we dont swap anytime soon
JT: (2:39:28 AM) not only do i like everyone...but were also very strong
JT: (2:39:33 AM) came up just a little short last time
McLuke87: (2:40:19 AM) i know. if im being honest i completely feel like we're going to have one fairly soon ... if not the next round, the one after
JT: (2:40:32 AM) yea i agree
JT: (2:40:40 AM) i hope were wrong tho
McLuke87: (2:41:08 AM) mmhmm
McLuke87: (2:41:14 AM) there'll be 34 people left after this rond
McLuke87: (2:41:36 AM) which is kind of an awkward number as it can't really be split into new tribes evenly
McLuke87: (2:41:42 AM) so i think we'll have at least another round together
JT: (2:42:25 AM) i think there will be 1 more round...either 2 ppl will be voted out bringin us to 32 nd then havin 4 tribes of 8 or 4 ppl will be voted out nd havin 3 tribes of 10
McLuke87: (2:42:51 AM) thats exactly what im thinking
JT: (2:43:07 AM) hopefully its just like combining tribes or somethin
McLuke87: (2:43:23 AM) yes, i'd definitely like for us to keep together
McLuke87: (2:43:36 AM) i think we all get along well and are on the same page
JT: (2:45:22 AM) definitely
JT: (2:45:46 AM) i actually really like talkin to u...definitely one of the easiest ppl to strike conversation with
McLuke87: (2:46:23 AM) i feel the same about you, its not nearly as forced as it is with other people ... like lex, haha
McLuke87: (2:46:37 AM) honestly i would really like to work with you
JT: (2:47:08 AM) i would like that too
JT: (2:48:13 AM) what do u think of everyone else
McLuke87: (2:48:54 AM) its kind of weird because there's only 6 of us left, haha, so after lex there's only alex/mikey/john
McLuke87: (2:49:08 AM) and alex i haven't spoken too much with, but i get the impressoin he'll be really good to work with
McLuke87: (2:49:16 AM) mikey and i get along really well, i think
McLuke87: (2:49:32 AM) and john and i started to get a bit more talkative as our conversatoin went on
McLuke87: (2:49:34 AM) how about you?
JT: (2:50:25 AM) i really like all 3 of them...ive had a chance to talk to them all
McLuke87: (2:51:14 AM) and preference to one or two ??
JT: (2:52:28 AM) i honestly would like for the 5 of us to work something out...or would that be too many?
McLuke87: (2:52:45 AM) i dont think so
McLuke87: (2:53:03 AM) my only hesitation is the impending threat of a swap
McLuke87: (2:53:16 AM) i dont want to make like a final 5 deal, and then us end up on 5 different tribes
JT: (2:54:18 AM) i agree...but the same thing could happen if there are 4 of us ya kno?
McLuke87: (2:56:21 AM) ya
McLuke87: (2:56:29 AM) i didnt mean that with 5
McLuke87: (2:56:32 AM) i meant that in general
McLuke87: (2:57:01 AM) i just want to make sure if a few of us enter into something we stick to it
McLuke87: (2:57:21 AM) like if we get swapped around and end up back together, we're still be together
JT: (2:57:59 AM) oh def!
McLuke87: (2:58:47 AM) perfect yes im definitely in for the five of us
JT: (2:58:53 AM) awesome
JT: (2:59:09 AM) im gettin tired
JT: (2:59:14 AM) i may head to bed
McLuke87: (2:59:25 AM) yes im not too far behind you
JT: (2:59:52 AM) yea maybe in a few minutes
McLuke87: (3:00:23 AM) im gonna head now, but ill try to see how alex/mikey/john feel about it when i talk to them next
JT: (3:00:51 AM) ok!
JT: (3:00:59 AM) night! talk to ya 2morrow!
McLuke87: (3:01:08 AM) night!
