EPISODE 7 - Bittersweet Victory
So after I won the challenge I was brought over to the Trapani tribe, where we then for 5 hours straight were on a Skype call, goofing around and talking alot about stuff, and then the hosts -still love ya guys tho- were a little late for results. So in the mean-time all 6 of us went to go and play a board game online, haha. It was seriously the most random 'trippin balls' type board game ever. Seriously one for the stoners, haha. But we all thought it was so hilarious, definitley good, good times with a lot of laughs and good bonding expierences for ME with THEM.
And then when we were discussing the vote, me and Tom kind of made sure Elise wasn't in the spotlight of being a contender to go home by bringing up the 2 so-called 'power-couples': The buddies Stephen/Patrick, as well as the real life couple Eric/Kate. We all knew Eric/Kate were bigger threats. But Sara was pretty pushy about keeping Kate over Eric, so we decided to not make a big deal out of it and just vote out Eric. And it worked out well.
You would think since I was the swing vote -literally-. That I'd be approache dby both sides. But that was definitley not the case. Eric/Stephen/Patrick were talking so much small-talk that I couldn't stand it anymore. Cause they wouldn't. get. to. the. point. And Kate ignored me entirely, so the decision to go over to Trapani -where everyone was very vocally excited and thankful for my efforts- were pretty easy. And plus it's also better for my game, as I have no gained 4 friends, and had a good time with 1 ally being Tom. That's better then vaguely being told how to vote from Eric and that Kate then still doesn't approach me. Cause Palermo seriously did little effort to try and convince me to go over to their side.
I really like Josh, Navneet, Albee, Sara and Tom. They are all a bunch of really nice people!! And who knows, if they were to win and come over to us, odds are they'd come over to our tribe and vote with us. As a repaying favor. Josh even told me I was part of 'their tribe' after the votes were revealed, which was really nice to hear!!
But during the vote, seeing Eric's hurt face kinda hurt me as I felt bad very bad for him!! But straight afterwards I knew him and Kate would prolly start talking major smack about everyone as soon as they were together again. So then I didn't feel so bad -but still a little-, haha.
And the most hurtful thing of all was Elise's reaction. She said she would have appreciated it if I had told her about the plan. I really did, but we wanted to make sure that someone didn't go out the same way Yap did last round, this round. So I had to kind of vaguely shrug her off till after the vote as I didn't want to risk anyone knowing the vote was gonna be Eric besides Trapani + Bryce. So me and Elise have now agreed to tell eachother everything whilst its happening. Cause she doesn't seem particularly close to anyone on the Palermo tribe, and plus me and her have a really good bond that I would really like to keep!!
Hope you guys liked my update! Video confessional will be next!
