Episode 8-King of the Desert

[Kyle Folbrecht]

Max went home, much to my digust. I voted for him, but I wanted Donna to go home. Taylor has accused me of voting for Donna too, but I didn't. I had a chat with him about that, and he seems to believe me, which is good. It looks like Allan will win immunity, because he told me he finished the challenge very quickly, and even Taylor told me that Allan probably beat him. There really is no point for me to try it at all, hearing this. They might be screwing with me though. I always have tried my best in the past, and I might as well continue. This challenge looks very tough, but I'm up for it.

The funny thing is that Taylor and Allan don't know that I am controlling what Kirin, Andrew, and James do in this game. I might even be able to pull Kanga along for the ride and form a majority. I think I am sitting pretty right now, having two solid alliances. I think I will go pretty damn far in this game at this rate.

My chat with Taylor:
[e-mail]: hey how are you?
JerseyDixieBoy: gotta do the challenge later
[e-mail]: oh hehe
[e-mail]: I am already done
JerseyDixieBoy: you finished it all and got it correct?
[e-mail]: I dunno
[e-mail]: I hope so
JerseyDixieBoy: do you know the baseball team answer?
JerseyDixieBoy: ill tell you the right one
[e-mail]: New York Mts
JerseyDixieBoy: good
[e-mail]: Mets
[e-mail]: I wrote in my confessional after he mentioned it
JerseyDixieBoy: how long did it take you to finish?
[e-mail]: I kept note of all the random things he said
JerseyDixieBoy: who is vulnerable if you win?
JerseyDixieBoy: since you probably did
JerseyDixieBoy: i thought donna would go next
[e-mail]: lol
[e-mail]: lets be honest now
[e-mail]: I kinda have a feeling now that you and Andre voted Donna
[e-mail]: I dont care if u did
JerseyDixieBoy: nope
JerseyDixieBoy: kirin, andrew, max, and james did
[e-mail]: oh ok
JerseyDixieBoy: :-D
[e-mail]: Kirin told me she voted Max =\
JerseyDixieBoy: the other alliance
[e-mail]: I even asked her again today
JerseyDixieBoy: ill do a screenshot for you
[e-mail]: its ok
[e-mail]: I trust you
JerseyDixieBoy: believe me i knew donna wouldnt go
[e-mail]: I was just making sure
JerseyDixieBoy: so you probably will win this one
JerseyDixieBoy: i'll try to go on and do it
[e-mail]: I think Allan might win
JerseyDixieBoy: but theres no point
[e-mail]: I think he beat me
JerseyDixieBoy: allan wanted to win very badly
JerseyDixieBoy: he got it all right?
[e-mail]: I think so
[e-mail]: I probably will come 2nd or third
JerseyDixieBoy: didn't joel say that the challenge would end when someone gets it all finished?
[e-mail]: I'm not sure
JerseyDixieBoy: anyways
JerseyDixieBoy: will we actually vote for donna this time?
[e-mail]: I dont know yet
JerseyDixieBoy: she isnt as threatening as she seemed
[e-mail]: yeah
[e-mail]: Its just that
[e-mail]: We could kinda use Donna
[e-mail]: I trust her more than I trust Andrew now
[e-mail]: Didnt Andrew say he was going to vote against Max?
JerseyDixieBoy: yes i clearly remember
JerseyDixieBoy: andrew wont win i know that
[e-mail]: Would you still rather get rid of Donna before Andrew?
JerseyDixieBoy: honestly no because donna hasnt been a threat yet
JerseyDixieBoy: agreed?
[e-mail]: I would rather get rid of Andrew
JerseyDixieBoy: he is a bigger threat so far
[e-mail]: I thought I coulda used Kirin
[e-mail]: but sinceshe lied to me
JerseyDixieBoy: he did more in the last challenge than donna yes?
JerseyDixieBoy: im glad you believe me
[e-mail]: I need all the true allies I can get
JerseyDixieBoy: i do have evidence to prove it, but you dont want to see it
[e-mail]: and I trust Donna wouldnt betray me this early
JerseyDixieBoy: she wouldnt
JerseyDixieBoy: i know that
[e-mail]: So we can use her for sure
[e-mail]: For now at least
JerseyDixieBoy: right now its pretty much you, me, allan, kanga
JerseyDixieBoy: and donna+bret
[e-mail]: I think Andrew made a mistake by voting against Donna
JerseyDixieBoy: would it be smarter to vote out bret before donna to make her vulnerable?
[e-mail]: umm
[e-mail]: I dunno right now
[e-mail]: Im just thinking 1 step at a time
[e-mail]: You wouldnt have a problem with voting Andrew next?
JerseyDixieBoy: not at all
[e-mail]: alright
JerseyDixieBoy: honestly
JerseyDixieBoy: 100%

To be honest, I would have a problem with it. We have to see what the others think first.

So Allan has won immunity, which is good for us, and that means that Andrew is going home. There really is nothing I can do about controlling this vote, since it seems like Taylor is running the show. Yet again, I am the King of the Desert with my two big alliances, and I should be able to change it quite easily. Right now, I'm chatting with both of them about what should be done. Maybe we can spare Andrew and vote out Donna! Donna is not a threat yet, which can be shown in how she performed in the two individual challenges. Obviously, that won't happen for the rest of the game, so I think she should be voted out now. Yet again, Taylor presented an interesting scenario by saying how we can use Donna and her closest ally Bret for votes until we have the majority at the Final 5. But by that time, Kirin, my closest ally, would be gone under that scenario. I still have a lot of thinking to do.....
