Dear Diary,
Last round was a TOTAL nightmare. HUGE. And most of it was a big mistake I made. Oops.
I'm feeling crushed from challenge results and the one person I didn't want to win, wins. With Margot immune, it just seems like another day where she amasses a tiny bit more power. Richie tells me that she's floated my name to him and this pisses me off so much. I am an incredibly emotional player so I think I just saw her with rage in my eyes. It became my #1 plan to take her down. I create a group chat between Gustave/Margot for the sole purpose of mining information. They have idol fears so we decide a vote split is necessary and it becomes between Richie/Writer or Writer/Royal. I sway them to go for Writer/Royal to keep Richie safe.
Writer is on thin ice this whole time. He's been doing a lot of weird stuff, like his friendship with Peter (even though Peter was coming after me last round), and I learn that Writer/Richie has something on the side with Royal. Great. Writer makes a comment about how he doesn't want to pagong even though our Crossed Keys alliance would basically be a pagong....This raises alarm bells for both Herman and Oracle and it seems like Crossed Keys is unraveling a bit. Oracle is also getting fed up with Richie and it seems like a bad longterm plan for me to stay there.
In Trash Island alliance (Gustave and Margot), we decide how to distribute the votes:
On Writer -- Gustave, Margot, Herman, Duke
On Royal -- Madame, Suzy, Oracle
Big Question mark -- Richie, Royal, Writer
Madame wants to switch because she doesn't want to vote Writer. So then it becomes Herman/Suzy/Oracle on Royal -- which was my big mistake.
In Crossed Keys, we decide to blindside everyone and vote Madame. So these two plans are happening concurrently and I'm telling Richie everything about how the votes are going down. For some reason Royal votes Writer here for a 5-5 tie. If only I had distributed the numbers differently. I think I was just so nervous about the Madame vote and upsetting Gustave/Duke.
During the 24 hours for revote, I get a chance to honestly talk with Madame and Margot. Margot swears that she never floated my name to Richie/anyone. Madame says there's nothing in her chat of Madame/Margot/Richie that would indicate Margot trying to push me. I ask Richie about this and he says Madame is lying. I get the sense that Richie is manipulating me. He knows I wanted to cut Writer and instead I feel he fabricated this story about Margot. I try to win favor back with Gustave/Duke by saying I'm willing to flip.
Duke tells me he volunteered for mutiny and so Richie has been lying about the nature of his kidnapping. Margot says Richie was the one who said no Rushmores should be voted out. It seems like he's creating multiple paths, with or without me, and he just needed to be taken down a peg.
Richie has so few options though, so he needs me even though he probably hates that I did this.
He tells me Royal 100% flipped and Oracle and I decide to flip together so we don't go to rocks.
It's fine. Everything's fine. I think I'm still in an okay position and I don't really want Herman or Richie to go here. I think it's time for Royal to go.
Yours,
Suzy
