Zis ees ze most nervous I 'ave felt going into a round of ze whole game. I feel zat my spot ees 'ighly tenuous 'ere.
Roughly, zere are three factions:
M. Morningstar and M. Cohle, with Mlle Garcia per'aps loosely aligned
M. Briscoe and M. Kennedy (though I think M. Kennedy may actually be closer to me, I don't think anyone realizes zat)
Mlle Hopps and myself
So in theory, M. Briscoe and M. Kennedy could team up with Mlle Hopps and I 'ere to maintain control.
Ze assumes, 'owever, zat ze lapin ees not insane. She wanted eet to get down to a final five of me, 'er, M. Kennedy, M. Cohle, and M. Morningstar, which will not 'appen if I 'ave anything to say about eet, but if she flips on me, I may not.
She suggested targeting M. Kennedy or Mlle Garcia zis round, but I do worry about zat. Mlle Garcia ees going to continue being a target, and I think (and 'ope) zat she recognizes zat. Keeping 'er around might be utile. Also I'm kind of tired of M. Morningstar existing in zis game, can we just vote 'im out? Could I get Mlle Hopps to do zat? Could I get Mlle Garcia to do zat?
I'm not sure, but things are definitely going to be messy. Zis was ze situation I was trying to avoid.
-
I really 'ope zat Mlle Hopps does not win zis challenge, though I 'ope zat I could get ze votes against M. Morningstar. I'm not convinced zat ees possible, though. And I worry about taking out Mlle Garcia 'ere, but obviously I will do what I 'ave to do in order to keep myself in ze game.
-
Eet would be truly terrible luck for Mlle Hopps to win two Immunities in a row. Surely my luck ees not zat bad. Especially since zis ees mostly a luck competition anyway.
-
Ugggggh zis ees horrible! I was starting to bury Mlle Hopps when I thought she wasn't Immune. Zere ees so much zat could be used against me.
-
Zis really does suck. But at least I showed my willingness to vote Mlle Hopps, so 'opefully zat prevents me from being taken down in 'er stead.
-
M. Briscoe may go 'ome next because 'e revealed zat 'e was going to take out Mlle Hopps when ze challenge results came out (though I suppose 'e could always claim eet was a lie, like 'ow Mlle Hopps was lying about taking out 'im earlier). I truly worry about zat. I would feel so awful for 'im if zat 'appened.
-
M. Cohle does prefer M. Briscoe going 'ome over Mlle Garcia, I think. I swear, if Mlle Hopps forces through another vote I don't want for no reason, I don't even know what to say about zat.
-
If M. Briscoe does go 'ome 'ere, ze good thing will be zat I do think eet reduces my threat level.
And zere ees a chance zat in a final four of me, M. Cohle, M. Morningstar, and M. Kennedy both zat M. Kennedy will tie ze vote for me and zat if M. Morningstar won Immunity, I could convince 'im to backstab M. Cohle. I think 'e would need to do something like zat in order to win ze game.
-
M. Cohle and I 'ave committed to F4 with each other, which ees good. Neither of us ees committing beyond zat, probably because we are both each other's F4 boots.
If M. Briscoe goes 'ere, against my will, zen I do think I become a more attractive endgame person because I will 'ave lost all power and been forced to do things for two rounds in a row. So maybe zat ees my ticket to actually getting a seat in ze end, especially against M. Morningstar who I don't think knows me quite as well and so who might find me less threatening? I'm not sure about zat. I don't 'ave a good read on 'im or 'ow 'e sees things.
-
With regard to voting out M. Peralta 'ere...I'm considering eet, but do we not think eet might be smarter to stick with M. Briscoe, M. Kennedy, and M. Peralta, at least for one round? Ze way I see eet, zose three are tied together, and so at 7, ze traction will be zere to send one of zem 'ome. Whereas if we make a move against M. Peralta maintenant, eet ees going to put us in a spot where we are vulnerable to 'ave a move made against us at 7, especially if we did eet in a way zat betrays M. Kennedy and M. Briscoe and zey go to Mlle Garcia, M. Morningstar, and M. Cohle. And we can be fairly confident zat M. Kennedy, M. Peralta, and M. Briscoe do not 'ave an idol unless one 'as been 'idden since merge.
A message I sent to Mlle Hopps last round, before I began ze harder sell.
Poirot knows 'ow to use 'is leetle grey cells.

SCULLY: We just got done reading your reports.
HITCHCOCK: I usually only read books they make movies out of, but this... wait, no.
SCULLY: You mean movies they make books out of.
HITCHCOCK: Right. Your materials have been great though. We always have a new file to leaf through from you.
SCULLY: And leafing through files makes us look so busy!
HITCHCOCK: Think Holt will give us overtime if we ask???
SCULLY: Let's go try!
-
I glad zat you 'ave enjoyed my confessional. I try to keep ze spectateurs updated. Really eet ees just as much for me as eet ees for you though.
Mlle Hopps 'as still been radio silent since results, and I honestly think she might force through a vote on M. Briscoe. I'm going to fight back against zat so 'ard though, so we will see if I am successful. If she thinks she can strongarm me twice in a row into making bad moves...honestly I don't even know what to say. M. Briscoe says she ees a Jury threat, and I 'ave no intention of letting 'er get to ze end, but she ees definitely burning my Jury vote with 'er 'orrible strategic choices.
-
I can't believe Mlle Hopps still 'as not logged on. Zis ees 'orrible.
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I aligned with a crazy Australian. Zis ees my own fault. And at least I'm probably not going to be ze one to bite ze bullet for eet.
-
I only mention 'er being Australian because of 'er timezone! I do not mean to imply zat Australians are or tend to be crazy.
-
I want to be strongarmed in to voting Penny. I promised her I wouldn't be gunning for her, but if there is a strongarm play by you and the L's then I can do it and wash my hands of it without harming my relationship with Lucifer and Rust which we both will need.
Also on your note about immunity. I doubt Penny will win any more immunities. I've stopped throwing individual challenges. (well not throwing but I am actually putting in effort) Like I took the car one easy expecting to not even be close to winning and then won it, handily even I finished early bc I was bored. But no your arguments are compelling for non-immunity reasons. We need one of Leon and Lennie gone next round though I think. Maybe we can wait until final 5, but you are really going to be on thin ice with Rust if we do that. I may need to create dissonance at final 6 and make it 3/2/1. Because if Rust dislikes you/Leon/Lennie but likes me that puts the ball firmly in our court.
Zis person...but I think zis sounds like I can get 'er to vote Mlle Garcia, which ees all I need. Thank goodness.
-
Tell me what happened in the first hour of the TC when Penny had immunity.
Fuck me. I'm so fucked.
-
Honestly I'm going to lose 'ere because of zis deadline error, and I am not 'ere for eet. But eet ees what eet ees, I suppose I should not 'ave been so 'asty.
-
I'm honestly over eet at zis point. I know you guys did your best, but eet does suck to feel so exposed on such a crucial vote due partially to a mod error. Even if I do get my way, zis round was 'orrible for my game, and I think eet would 'ave been a smooth-sailing Mlle Garcia vote if not for zat hour.
-
So much ees 'appening.
M. Morningstar reached out and said zat 'e 'ad final three deals with everyone in ze game other zan me and promising me F3 in exchange for my vote. I told 'im truthfully zat Mlle Hopps was already probably flipping, but zat I appreciated ze offer and if eet still stood, I liked eet. M. Morningstar ees eager to make a move to 'ang 'is 'at on though. I'm trying to be very subtle, which ees not my strong suit, and set up 'im turning on M. Cohle.
M. Cohle wants to take out M. Kennedy or M. Morningstar when we 'ave ze chance, but 'e also wants to take out M. Briscoe now, which leaves us with...who in ze F4? Either Mlle Garcia or Mlle Hopps, guaranteed. Unless we do go with both M. Kennedy and M. Morningstar. Honestly I think I make eet to ze end with zat F4 unless M. Cohle wins Immunity, so maybe not ze worst thing in ze world? But I usually want nothing to do with goats.
I don't know. Zis round 'as shuffled everyting. But I think my Jury threat status ees sufficiently muddled. Taking out M. Grouch over M. Morningstar ees paying off 'ere, because M. Grouch would never see me as someone 'e could beat in ze end like zis.
-
Yeesh, she has been throwing? That's a scary thing indeed.
I will do it, but I think it's really important for both of us that you act as unsure as possible about my vote this round. If it's clear there's a majority already, we lose the chance to get it on Leon instead. If we can't get that, we can push this vote through even if Judy decides not to join it. As you say, it may be beneficial to do something that pulls the rug out from under her, to weaken her claim to controlling the late game.
Sorry to respond so briefly, I am preparing for bed at this point.
Mes amis, I am doing eet. M. Briscoe ees not going 'ome zis round. I will not allow eet.
Zis ees M. Cohle confirming to me zat 'e would vote Mlle Garcia out over M. Briscoe if eet comes down to eet, which ees incroyable. But 'e also prefers a M. Kennedy boot, and honestly? At zis point so do I. I am not 'ere to lose my seat in ze end because M. Kennedy ees sitting zere.
7: M. Kennedy
6: Mlle Hopps/Mlle Garcia
5: Ze other of Mlle Hopps/Mlle Garcia
4: Who knows?? But I wouldn't be mad with M. Cohle or M. Briscoe going 'ome 'ere. But of course, 5 could get dicey if ze wrong person wins Immunity, and I could see zem booting me in 5th. But zat may be a risk I 'ave to take.
-
M. Cohle and I are opposites. I am far too open about what I think about things and eet can blow up on me, but 'e ees far too closed. Trying to get 'im and M. Briscoe on ze same page ees such a nightmare, because M. Briscoe ees not aggressive like I am about just stating ze truth.
But honestly, if I do get zem to sort zeir issues out and work together, zat ees a 'uge resume move. And I don't think a super visible one? M. Briscoe might know about eet though.
-
Mlle Hopps 'as decided everyone! M. Briscoe ees going to be ze one eliminated! For ze second round in a row, all of my agency ees being taken away. Or ees eet?
I 'ave no intention of letting zat 'appen. You want to take out M. Briscoe? You 'ave to go through me first. And I am Hercule Poirot, ze greatest detective zis world 'as ever known.
-
I think we can flip eet. I 'ave faith in us. We are both great players, and we are not going to put up with zis merde any longer.
And if we fail, we fail. At least we tried something. Though I suppose I might burn my relationship with M. Kennedy unnecessarily, but 'ow much loyalty does 'e 'ave to me anyway?
M. Morningstar 'ad a heart-to-heart with me today, apologizing for 'ow 'e 'as been be'aving towards me since ze M. Grouch vote, since we 'ave 'ardly been talking and 'e 'as been very cold and distant and of course targeting me, and 'e says zat 'e knows 'e cannot beat Mlle Hopps and Mlle Garcia and zat zey both see 'im as an appealing goat and 'e ees just being dragged along. And 'e does not want to be a goat, 'e wants to make a move. So I do think zere ees an extremely 'igh chance we flip 'im.
But you need to put in ze work with M. Morningstar and M. Cohle. Like you definitely need me in your corner, because when you're going 'ome, if you don't 'ave someone in your corner nothing will ever get off ze ground and you 'ave no way of separating lies from reality. But you need to make zem feel good about you. You need to do ze work yourself, and I know eet ees 'ard, but M. Cohle 100% ees receptive and M. Morningstar I think can be convinced. You can just say "Poirot mentioned zat we could work as a F4 alliance, 'ow do you feel about zat?". Ze more you beat about ze bush, ze worse eet will be for you.
I know you and M. Cohle 'ave 'ad issues in ze past, but your interests legitimately are aligned now. We can get out of zis. Zis ees not like M. Peralta's harebrained scheme which would never work. You are going to be in ze final six, mon ami.
Zis 'as been your #PoirotPeptalk.
Bonne nuit.
My last two posts to M. Briscoe. Let's make zis 'appen.
-
M. Kennedy 'as apparently flipped, and 'e may not be back. Which ees so stupide and I explicitly told 'im not to last night before I went to bed, but zere you go. Maybe 'e 'eard about ze push on 'im. I'm not sure.
And M. Morningstar ees leaning towards voting M. Briscoe.
-
So I messed zat up with M. Kennedy, which sucks because 'e might be a crucial vote for me at 4, but honestly 'e 'as always wavered with ze wind. I could probably get 'im back on my side.
I worry zat I will be targeted next round. I think zat I probably will, but I don't think I will go 'ome unless people are incredibly stupide. Final 5, I will be in trouble if Mlle Hopps/Mlle Garcia wins Immunity, but other zan zat, I think I will be okay.
M. Kennedy eet sucks to 'ave potentially lost, but eet makes me even more appealing a person to take to ze end, so zat ees good. And honestly I 'ave leetle faith in my ability to win a firemaking challenge against M. Cohle or M. Morningstar anyway. My only worry ees zat maybe I turn M. Morningstar against M. Cohle, and M. Kennedy votes me to spite me. I really need to patch things up.
-
I'm still trying, mes amis. We could salvage zis vote yet.
M. Kennedy and M. Cohle are currently talking. We shall see what 'appens.
If I pull zis off...honestly I'm impressed with myself.
-
I don't think I will pull zis off, though. I think eet will fail.
-
M. Cohle and M. Kennedy could not get on ze same page because zey were not online together, so M. Briscoe ees going 'ome.
I tried my best, and I was so close.
