I think there's an 80% chance (this is an arbitrary percentage with very little basis in probability) that I get voted out outright here.
And because I'm probably being voted out, it does make me regret doing to Margot what I did. She was only ever loyal to me too! I think that giving myself the chance at a Final 3 with Gustave and Oracle was worth it, as I feel like I would have had a good chance at winning that. Obviously it's difficult to know if I would have stood the same chance against Margot and/or Richie in the Final 3, but at the end of the day I sort of doubt it? Too many times before I have just stayed loyal to the higher visibility players and been punished for it. What would be different this time? Maaaybe a Final 3 with Richie/Suzy would have suited me if Richie had been controversial enough. Maybe I was too fixated on my chances of taking BOTH Richie and Margot out.
Perhaps to some degree I am so scarred by FTC losses that I make stupid moves in fear of another one. It has been over 12 months now since I last made a FTC! That's probably some kind of record for me since I started playing these things. And far longer since I made FTC in a MS survivor game.
Yes, I know. All this moping is a bad look when it was probably my own darned fault for voting Margot out. But it's okay.
It's interesting to think about how I would approach FTC as a juror. It is unlikely that I would be a vote for Oracle, but for my vote at least, Gustave stands a very good chance at beating Richie. I look forward to seeing what the jury actually thinks of Richie.
