I am casting my vote for: Tom

Honestly, I hate voting for Tom because he's a nice guy and I actually trust him more than most of the other people on my tribe. From a strategic perspective, he would probably be a good person to keep around because I think he would probably help me get further in the game, while some of the other people would probably take me out at the earliest chance they get.

Unfortunately, he was sort of inactive for the last couple of rounds, and everyone agreed that he should go if we had to go to Tribal Council... I was hoping we could convince Phillip and Wendy to change their mind, but with 20 minutes until the deadline, it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

Sorry buddy... Hopefully Carlos has a hidden Redemption Island twist going on.

I am casting my vote for: Rocky

I don't like voting out another player from Season 2, but Rocky was the only one who missed the challenge, so it's hard to justify voting out anyone else. I even tried to get Monica and Steph to vote for Joel instead, but then Steph suggested it to Natalie and Natalie said no. And Monica seemed okay with the idea, but thought maybe next time we're at Tribal Council would be better.

I'm not gonna lie, these All Stars are sort of boring. No one's willing to take any type of risk, and the longer this keeps up, the more likely it is that the Season 4 peeps are going to eliminate everyone. People need to wake up and start playing this game.

I am casting my vote for: Rob M

I don't think anyone is going to get blindsided tonight, because I think everyone is at least somewhat worried that it could be them being voted out this round. Literally every single person in our tribe was mentioned as a potential target, so this is the first round where really no one is safe.

Originally I was trying to get people to vote for either Rob or Joel (Rob because he's sketchy, and Joel because of his possible ties with the Season 4 alliance). Then Rob apparently mentioned voting for either me or Natalie. Steph and Natalie didn't want to vote for Rob or Joel, so they suggested we all vote Wendy. And then Monica talked to Rob, and Rob mentioned voting either Steph or Monica...

Anyway, the results of this one are going to be insane, and it's going to leave our tribe in a huge mess. As it stands, Steph thinks I'm going to vote for Wendy. Rob and Wendy think I'm going to vote for Steph. And Monica, Joel and Natalie think I'm voting for Rob.

I'm thinking it will be Rob getting voted out, but honestly, nothing would surprise me tonight. I've experienced a lot of crazy Tribal Councils, but this is up there as soon of the craziest...

I am casting my vote for: Julie

Well, it sounds like this should be a pretty straight forward vote. Kainai went into the merge with a 6-4 majority, so the numbers should be on our side. Like I said at Tribal Council, though, there are several very strategic players left in the game, and you never know what people are going to do.

Hopefully, if everything goes to plan, Julie should be getting voted out... But I wouldn't be overly surprised if someone flipped, or if someone played a Hidden Idol to save Julie. If that happens I could be in trouble... Joel thinks Athena is targeting him (and they might be, because it sounds like there is some bad blood between Season 4 and Joel), but they could just as easily be voting for me.

I am casting my vote for: Naonka

This one should be pretty straight forward... Phillip started spreading rumours about Monica, but obviously word gets around pretty quick in this game and Monica found out. Then Monica started spreading rumours about Phillip. Then Phillip called out Monica... Then Monica called out Phillip... Then Phillip trashed Monica some more... Then Monica trashed Phillip some more. It was like a vicious circle of dumbassery, because all it did was put even bigger targets on both Phillip and Monica... at least, for next round, since they both have immunity this round. Anyway, it was definitely a drama-filled round, and it all seemed to come out of nowhere. The good news is that as long as I can make it through this round, I should be able to get through next round too.

Unfortunately, since Phillip won the immunity challenge, people decided to target Naonka instead. I actually like Naonka, because she brings personality to the game. But I have no ties with her, so I don't have a problem voting for her. I just hope everyone sticks with the plan and votes her out... I think they will, but you never know.

I am casting my votes for: Phillip and Gillian

Well, I have a bad feeling about this one... With 8 people remaining and 2 people getting voted out tonight, I have a feeling that I will probably be getting some votes. And getting votes tonight could mean the end because all it takes is one person (e.g. Joel or Monica) to fuck around and throw an extra vote your way or throw their vote to someone randomly, and you're done.

Plus, we're going into this vote with pretty much even numbers. Gillian, Naonka, Phillip and Joel seem to be working together, starting last round. And Monica, Natalie, Steph and I have been together since before the merge. So, even if the votes go the way I'm hoping/expecting, it would still result in a less-than-ideal purple rock situation.

So, it will be interesting to see how this one plays out... I'm definitely not feeling very safe, but I would rather force a purple rock tiebreaker than betray the people I have aligned with.

I am casting my vote for: Joel

This is definitely the easiest decision I had to make all game... Since Naonka won the Immunity Challenge, I can only vote for Joel, Monica, Natalie or Steph. And since I have an alliance with Monica, Natalie and Steph, that leaves just one person... and it just happens to be the same person who flipped on us and one of my frenemies from CbSurvivor 4.

Hopefully Monica, Natalie and Steph all stay loyal... At this point it really only makes sense to stay together. If Joel or Naonka get to the Final 3, they stand a good shot of winning because they have a lot of support on the jury. Plus, both of them are strong at challenges, so bringing both of them to the Final 5 would be dangerous.

I am casting my vote for: Naonka

This one is predictible... Naonka is the only person remaining that wasn't part of our alliance. She has been on a challenge streak for the last few rounds, and she has a lot of support on the jury. It would be way too risky to take her any further because if she makes the Final 3, she would probably win the game no matter who she is up against.

I'm using your old na onka ballot

I am casting my vote for: Monica

My biggest pet peeve in these online reality games is when people don't play to win. It's really frustrating when you play a really strong game, only to end up in the Final 4 and realize that someone *cough* Natalie *cough* is only playing the game to help her friend *cough* Monica *cough* win... again.

I just don't get it. I understand Natalie wants to be loyal, but if she was playing for herself to win, she'd vote Monica out in a heartbeat. And if you're not playing to win, why even bother signing up? No one in their right mind would vote for Natalie over Monica. Monica hands-down played a better social game, a better strategic game, and she outperformed Natalie in every challenge.

Anyway, I know Monica and Natalie are voting for Steph, and I know Steph left a bootlist voting for Monica. I know Monica would probably beat Steph in a tie-breaker challenge... But I'm someone who is playing to win this game, and there's no way I can justify keeping Monica. She's definitely my biggest competition in the Final 4, and at least if I vote with Steph this round, maybe I'll get her vote in the Finals if she's on the jury.
