Episode 6

[Don Corneo]

Rip the man, the myth, the legend, Al Capone

[Al Capone]

I have to work on my "talking-to-the-person-i'm-going-to-vote" skills.  And also my idol skills but I think that's near-impossible to do sooooooo

[Chameleon]

You gotta pretend to care about small talk a little imo. Like you can not care or feel attached to someone over nongame talk - but telling them you feel that way seemed to rub some people the wrong way

[Brown Eyes]

I like robster trying to make a move. It's usually a good idea to snipe someone before they become a problem in merge.

[Skinny Mickey]

Robster is okay but I just can't get down with Ventriloquist and Carmine prevailing over Capone. It makes game sense since Viola was on the outside there but also it's aggravating because I think Al definitely would have known to idol if only he and Meyer came on and chatted before the deadline.  Viola tanking the family's score in the challenge and then turning ...

[Brown Eyes]

That was indeed lame to watch, hopefully robster throws, murders slim shady, then at merge meyer is still alive and he flips back to paulie and they join forces and we get a revenge arc

[Don Corneo]

I am actually of the mindset that it would be hilarious to see robster intentionally throw and get voted out as a result.

[Brown Eyes]

That works too.

[Brown Eyes]

I believe there is an irony in carmine complaining about his vague PMs with Al Capone and then the current state of his confessional

[Don Corneo]

Well Robster got what they wanted, how will this play out?

[Don Corneo]

Shady Shin is in trouble here, but Vincent Vega does not PM me at all.  Shin thinks his three Lucchese will stick together because he sees no reason to believe otherwise, but buddy has not been paying much attention.  Crystal is all up in the Gambino business at this point and Vincent has been whispering sweet nothing in Robster's ear.  They will both want to dump Shady to move forward with new allies.

I am undecided right now.  It is really no skin off of my back to let them dump Shady Shin and live to fight another day.  But I would rather Vincent go home, and I think that Shady Shin is the kind of only-active-for-votes absentee that would make a really attractive FTC opponent.

Shin thinks I am the Gambino he can flip to the Lucchese side, because he doesn't know the Lucchese side is turning on him already.  I told him to make me an offer.  Here it is:

I've got three allies in this game at this point (Crystal, Vincent, Bobfather), though no one I've promised a ride-or-die partnership. You'd be going out on a limb here for me, so I can promise you'd not be at the bottom of any proverbial totem pole. You've got Shady Shin's word on that.

Words are cheap though. If we do make the merge and I win an immunity I'd be willing to pass it off to you as payment in action.

Do I want him to give me an immunity necklace during the merge?  Certainly not early on.  If he wants to offer it up somewhere between final six and the FTC on the other hand I would be pleased.  But what I would really want, if I am going to shake things up to save him, is a promise to be that ride-or-die he says he doesn't have.  I'm not going to vote for Paulie or Robster here though because I know Shin has already lost the people on his side.  So I would need him to agree to a Vincent vote.

Lots to think about.

Kind of in love with Bill right now.

[Brown Eyes]

Oh bill. Voting out vincent would be great TV because he doesn't post in confessionals, and he's connected to the other tribemates he's isolated from right now.

[Chameleon]

if this shin alliance pans out, we could be watching bill outplay everyone here

[Brown Eyes]

Loving shin's ability to be self aware. If only our dear friend Al had that. Also I am 100% down to watch bill outplay everyone.

[Brown Eyes]

Ah, from confessionals they don't seem to really like vince over shin. let's see what happens...
