[Thu Jan 30 2014 10:36:42 PM] CatchMyFlounder: b/c he's basically asking me
[Thu Jan 30 2014 10:37:00 PM] Kristen:
oh no

[Thu Jan 30 2014 10:37:12 PM] CatchMyFlounder: =o
[Thu Jan 30 2014 10:37:19 PM] CatchMyFlounder: frank could be nommed

[Ryan Buckingham]

1. GinaMarie and Kristen
2. David and Sam
3. Estelle and Rhian
4. Dixie and James
5. Shane and Ed
6. Dominic and Helen
7. Andrew and Talla

Team rankings, I'm safe with teams 1 and 2 for sure. I proposed a deal to Estelle to force our partners to keep each other safe.
I think Dixie is pretty stubborn and wouldn't let James nominate me.
I have a deal with Shane, I should shoot Ed another PM to make sure he doesn't get any wild ideas.

Teams 6/7 I feel like I could be in trouble with. Frank didn't seem too interested in HOH, but I wouldn't mind nominating those 2 teams to secure safety throughout this twist.

[Ryan Buckingham]

Teams 6 and 7 were both nominated, wish I could take credit for those noms.

Rumor is Shane/Ed are going to be replacement noms, which is a total waste.. Just like 3/4 evictions have been a waste so far.
Small chat with Kristen where we both sorta agreed James/Dixie should go up... but I don't know if Kristen is going to push for it. The main thing is keeping me/Sam off the block this round.

You don't know how bad I want this game to get down to 11 people. I'm sick of being in "sleep mode", I've done little to nothing so far. I can not wait to shake things up, but there still too many variables going on. Shit will hit the fan in a few more weeks.

[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:15 PM] CatchMyFlounder: did stuff go on last night?
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:29 PM] CatchMyFlounder: after veto ceremony or were u on?
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:37 PM] Rhian: Yeah.
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:40 PM] Rhian: There was dramz.
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:58 PM] CatchMyFlounder:
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:25:58 PM] Rhian: Everyone was saying they were on the fence,
[Wed Feb 5 2014 01:26:01 PM] Rhian: and kitty got upset about it.


Kristen is pushing HARD for Andrew to leave as well... seems fishy.

[Ryan Buckingham]

James, Ed, Dixie, Sam voting out Andrew
Shane, Rhian, Helen too according to Kristen.

Rhian is saying to me she's voting out Talla.
Shane asked me who I was voting, I think he would vote Talla pretty easily.

So it's more of 5 voting Andrew.
Rhian, Ryan, Dom, Estelle, Frank, Shane, David 7 people voting Talla.


Things line up correctly from what Andrew thinks he has for votes, compared to what Kristen says she has for votes.
Swing votes are Helen, Rhian, Shane, but Rhian confirmed to me what she's voting and I feel I can confirm with Shane too.

This confusing to anyone else?

[Ryan Buckingham]

Rhian, Ryan, Dom, Estelle, Frank, Helen, David 7 people voting Talla.

and maybe Shane.. making it a 8-4 vote...

Ed leaving 12-0 ?

Kristen/Dixie are so fucking gung hoooooooooooooooooooooooe about getting Andrew out. They won't shut up about it, I'm just glad some people are not counting stars this round, or maybe they are counting stars with GM but not Kristen. MIND BLOWWWWWWWWWW!

[Ryan Buckingham]

this vote has gotten intense, people are fighting over the vote.

I'm aligned with one side, but voting with the other side. This is perfect for me, The house is going to split and I'll be in good with everyone.

[Ryan Buckingham]

so now if Frank is counting stars, my position went from amazing to shit.

[Ryan Buckingham]

im pissed. campaigning on a phone doesn't work

my game went from A to a solid C- in a matter of a hour. Whoever got Frank, Shane, and possibly Rhian and more to flip back deserves to win this game. If you commit to one thing and change your mind right before the votes, you're a shitty player. You get manipulated and you piss me the fuck off because I made plans all afternoon thinking Talla was leaving, I even told her I voted her out. My cards are shown, and I'm on the wrong side.

I think sleep mode is over, it's time to rumble.


fuck this tiny keyboard, should have had siri type all this shit out

[Ryan Buckingham]

I think I can still salvage this. I have a bond, alliance, whatever you want to call it with Estelle, Rhian, GM, Dom now.

Still have Dixie, Sam, Kristen (hopefully)

Still have Shane

That's half the cast,

the Ed vote was random, I wish I would have thrown a hinky.

[Ryan Buckingham]

Rhian wins... I'm safe.

End of the round.. bye.

[Ryan Buckingham]

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:22:18 PM] Rhian: whose asses should I put on the muthafriggin block?

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:23:24 PM] Ryan: David, Frank, Helen, James, Same Shane Talla
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:23:26 PM] Ryan:
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:23:34 PM] Ryan: Sam *
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:23:50 PM] Rhian: LMAOMAMO

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:24:03 PM] Rhian: We're ont he same page then

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:24:08 PM] Rhian: 'cause two of those are going upppp

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:24:08 PM] Ryan: sweet
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:24:10 PM] Rhian: :3

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:25:41 PM] Ryan: I left Dixe off, b/c I know u prob wont put him up, and it's prob way too ealry to do so.. but I think he's a main reason why people flipped in the last hour. I'm also not a fan how he keeps saying he's not playing to win, but then he got all aggressive last round like it was Final 4 or something
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:27:33 PM] Ryan: I would love to secure something with the 5 of us who kept Andrew, 4 of us + GM but any of those above 7 I don't really care who goes up. I would vote anyone out with whoeve you and others want gone
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:27:42 PM] Ryan: those are my thoughts
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:07 PM] Rhian: um

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:09 PM] Rhian: ty for saying that

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:11 PM] Rhian: lol

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:17 PM] Rhian: because I agree with you 100%

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:23 PM] Rhian: "im just here to troll" ya um no

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:31 PM] Ryan: lol right
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:43 PM] Rhian: he pissed me off so much last round and i told him that to his face

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:56 PM] Rhian: basically my vote staying on talla despite knowing she was staying

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:29:56 PM] Ryan: if he sat around the last round, pretty sure Talla would have been gone
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:00 PM] Rhian: was more of a "fuck u cat"

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:03 PM] Rhian: than anything else

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:10 PM] Ryan: oh snap
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:26 PM] Ryan: was he upset?
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:27 PM] Rhian: I like that 4 too though

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:41 PM] Rhian: estelle me you

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:43 PM] Rhian: who was the other

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:30:46 PM] Rhian: dom?

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:31:06 PM] Ryan: ya
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:31:12 PM] Rhian: well if i go through with sticking talla up

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:31:14 PM] Rhian: i'd like to see her go

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:31:38 PM] Ryan: 6 votes
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:31:45 PM] Ryan: we would have 4
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:08 PM] Rhian: its doable i think

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:12 PM] Rhian: estelle hates talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:16 PM] Rhian: gm would evict talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:20 PM] Rhian: dom was upset with talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:24 PM] Rhian: you'd evict talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:30 PM] Rhian: dixie told me she'd do what i preferred

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:35 PM] Rhian: idk if that's true, but count her for now

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:32:54 PM] Rhian: it depend who i put her up against too

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:05 PM] Rhian: but i feel like that's a solid 5

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:11 PM] Rhian: of people to vote her out

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:14 PM] Ryan: is there any pairs within the potentional noms?
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:21 PM] Rhian: um yes

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:23 PM] Rhian: david/james

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:27 PM] Rhian: talla/james

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:32 PM] Ryan: if you put 1 of them up, that guarantees another vote
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:48 PM] Rhian: james/talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:51 PM] Ryan: so if its talla/james, then David votes out Talla
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:52 PM] Rhian: david will keep james

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:53 PM] Rhian: evict talla

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:54 PM] Rhian: love

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:33:55 PM] Ryan: yes
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:04 PM] Rhian: that's a good one then.

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:07 PM] Rhian: i like that.

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:14 PM] Ryan: and that confirms the 6 votes
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:31 PM] Ryan: plus you can make deals with the other loafers
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:53 PM] Rhian: sam would vote with us wouldn't he?

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:34:57 PM] Rhian: he'd do what dixie wanted

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:35:06 PM] Ryan: yes I think so
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:35:18 PM] Rhian: kristen i think would help too

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:35:50 PM] Ryan: she say the same thing as dixie?
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:37:48 PM] Rhian: what do you mean?

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:00 PM] Ryan: she say she would vote how u wanted
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:07 PM] Rhian: she didn't but i think she ultimately would

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:17 PM] Ryan: :0
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:18 PM] Ryan: *
[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:21 PM] Rhian: i think she'd evict talla anyways

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:24 PM] Rhian: since she nomianted her

[Sat Feb 8 2014 05:38:51 PM] Ryan: ya that's true

[Ryan Buckingham]

Sam just made the worst move of the game.

My allegiance to him is gone, my allegiance to Kristen is on the ropes.. depending on if she was in on this or not. Blindsided by a veto ceremony...

I've been really low key so far this game, I was about to go to sleep and now I'm all fired up.

I'm shocked, almost at a loss of words.


Sun Feb 9 2014 10:48:44 PM] CatchMyFlounder: why did Sam put people in jeopardy of being backdoored
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:51:45 PM] CatchMyFlounder: you have entered text
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:52:41 PM] Kristen: lol i think rhian thought that talla would leave against james and her target is james i guess

[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:07 PM] CatchMyFlounder: ugh what
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:16 PM] Kristen: lol what

[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:23 PM] CatchMyFlounder: that doesnt make sense


^ makes zero sense, something is fucking fishy.




[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:23 PM] CatchMyFlounder: that doesnt make sense
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:26 PM] Kristen:
why

[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:53:47 PM] CatchMyFlounder: did u speak to sam?
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:56:15 PM] Kristen:
yeah

[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:56:59 PM] Kristen:
why do you think it doesnt make sense =-O

[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:57:24 PM] CatchMyFlounder: I don't believe rhian told him to use it
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:58:26 PM] CatchMyFlounder: I was afraid of this, all the talk how Talla could go anytime
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:58:57 PM] CatchMyFlounder: and this is the 2nd step of tha process, I heard a lot of this talk in season 3.
[Sun Feb 9 2014 10:59:13 PM] Kristen:
she still can go anytime


Yep, she can go anytime. Can she go last round? no... but she can go anytime... Can she go this round? no... but she can go anytime.

Oh fucking really?

[Sun Feb 9 2014 11:02:38 PM] Sam: hi


not in the mood for shit to hit the fan right now. So fucking pissed off.
Are they really that fucking pissed because I voted Talla out? It's not like I campaigned, I kept telling Dixie/Kristen my vote wouldn't matter, and that was exactly the case. I didn't try to switch Dixie's vote, I've been low key this entire game and have done basically zero campaigning for anything to happen.

It's time for things to change, I would so love for Rhian to nominate Kristen. She would easily stay, and in the process I could bitch Sam out for jeopardizing everyone's fucking game for Talla. Second move would be to put Dixie up and get her out.

I think my real allegiance in this game is moving from Kristen to Rhian. With the backup moving from Sam/Dixe to GM/Estelle.

I don't know if the votes are there for Dixie to go. Ryan, GM, Estelle, Dom ? + Helen, Shane?
Who likes James?... we need 2 votes who favor James over Dixie.

Sam needs a fucking reality check, you can just waltz in and use veto with 14 people left in the game and have zero consequences? and post the ceremony without saying shit to me? We were supposed to be an alliance to the end... he should know by now to not piss me the fuck off.

Good night Sam, you will not make jury.

[Ryan Buckingham]

sent to Rhian

Whether this works or not, this is how I love to play. The first 4-5 rounds is def not my style, this is an All Stars game and I came to play.




Sam, you made me your enemy.   "....... I'm coming at you like a dark horse."

a few seconds ago QuoteMessage Options

so... I'm beyond confused right now.



I'm talking out loud since you're not on AIM to discuss. If we are counting this game as having 2 sides with 3-5 people in the middle. It would be fair to say Dixie was the most dangerous player on the other side. Sam uses the veto, thinking everyone is going to be safe who he is aligned with.



6 votes is sorta a lot, I have to think we have Ryan, GM, Estelle, Dominic as a voting block this round. Is there anyone who is close to James that could act as vote 5 and 6?



Helen, Shane, David are sort of the people on the outs/in the middle/ whatever you want to call it.



Dixie, Sam, Kristen, Talla, Frank do they have something going on? Frank was one who flipped his vote right before deadline, you know people were in his ear campaigning to him. If they offered him a deal/alliance.. etc. it makes sense



Is GM close to Frank, can she get him back on her side to vote with us this round?

David/Dom close, can we have Dom get David to vote with us?



Shane/Frank rivalry, we can pitch the idea that Frank could have made deals last round / alliances. Get Shane to vote with us.



My thoughts are we should look at getting Dixie out this round, it's like she holds everything together. It's somewhat of a move of getting Phillip out in Survivor Caramoan. If someone in the middle was nominated, I think we'd be burning an opportunity to have them on our side in the future. If you want to go with anyone else and get James out, I'm cool with it. We live to fight another round, I'm so mad right now after I saw the ceremony. It's like he's so confident to use veto right now that he has no fear of what the consequence could be. It's an opportunity to give Sam a big f u to his face and try to swing things in our favor going forward.

[Ryan Buckingham]

Rhian and James had a fight in the Veto, so now she wants James out.

Hey here's a fucking bright idea, don't treat this season as a fucking mini game. 3 hours between results and ceremony.
