OK so, endgame plans update here
I was hoping we could have avoided that 4 to 4 tie an get a group together with a majority vote against Gustave. Well, originally I wanted the vote against Oracle but that didn't stick. In the end the grouping I was working towards came together nicely during the revote phase. Suzy needed the tie vote time to get her mind right and it added to her overall authenticity which helped close the deal with the other new alliance members. I say that like she can't be planning to cut me at 4, which she very well might. But I think we're now on track to get to the end with the other most dangerous endgame threats, so the instinct to cut me won't be as strong for any of them.
The new alliance is called the Khaki Scouts, another wonderful Wes Anderson themed group name. Suzy started the group chat, I helped her brainstorm the name. It is Suzy, Madame D., Margot and myself. This is a balanced alliance for myself and Madame D. as we both have long term original tribe allies with us. It is a balanced alliance for Suzy and myself as I have the closer relationship with Madame D. while she is closer to Margot. It is even fairly well balanced for Margot and myself, and I think (hope?) it's the best that Margot can expect to find to get her close to the end from here. Also, every possible remaining idol that I know the potential to exist is within our foursome, so that's very comforting. Having the premiere challenge threat on your side at this stage of the game is a very good thing too.
Following Royal's publication of their existence, Madame D. and I have shared our Zissou status with Margot and Suzy. I told Suzy and I waited for Madame D. to think everything through and decide to tell Margot, as they have the longer relationship and so in my eyes it was Madame's secret to reveal. If revealing this proves to be my unmaking, well, so be it. I don't think would take a degree in differential calculus to read Royal's post and work out who I gave the ring to, especially not for Suzy and Margot. Better we be up front about it than wait for them to put the pieces together and wonder why we kept it secret even after Royal made that post.
My ideal final three is Madame D. and Suzy. That is honoring the loyalty I promised to both of them. It will be very competitive and in all likelihood a fully live tribal with many jury votes open to win.
