Alright. Wow. That was not fun. But honestly, the fact that that plan failed put me in a much better position than I would have been in before, I think. Because if we had gotten Hayden out clean and then gotten Richard out, I'm almost positive that when it came down to only us, the only people who wouldn't have flipped on me would be Carter. So in a sense, the fact that there's essentially now two alliances may work in my favor.
Of course, there were definitely signs; people talking about how Jeff wanted to get someone from Kirati out. But honestly, getting someone out at this TC and not the next one was just so ridiculously baffling that I didn't think they'd do it. But they did! I guess I do have a bit of respect for them for trying, but I'm definitely not complaining that I'm still here. It also pretty much solidified who I could trust, and now that we're getting into the stage where your relations with people matter, I think people are going to start being a bit more wary about how they treat people and how their failed blindsides go. Because you know if I make that jury I'm going to vote for the person who deserves it - who may or may not have made the biggest moves.
I don't think it opened my eyes to the game more so than made me realize how big of a threat people consider me. I'm sure they're all regretting it right now though.
