Sorry for not posting much, but admittedly I've been a bit busy.
So, we've merged, Eliza's gone inactive again, and everybody's wanting to vote for her. I know she pretty much can't be saved, but I'm still not planning on voting for her. Bubba's been a bit of an arrogant dick just because he got lucky with the challenge and wound up on the more active tribe, and I really hate people who are arrogant without any real reason to be. No lie, if Bubba wasn't Immune this round, I'd vote for him just for how he's been and that once Eliza goes, myself/Naonka/Sarita won't be needed or able to do as much, and even if Eliza goes with us, we'd still be in the minority.
Even though I haven't been on the same tribe as Bubba, Hayden, Trish, or Amanda before, I still have to at least try and figure out who's close to Bubba. I might just vote for Trish for the hell of it, though I could vote for Hayden. And a side note, I hate when people in the majority get so arrogant they just leave themselves invisible every time they come online because they think the minorities not even "worth talking to". Way to win people's jury votes there.

So...Bubba wins Immunity again and it's whatever. He can't win all of them, and as far as I'm concerned, he's going to get his as soon as he loses one. In other news, Naonka found a puzzle clue to the password to the HII board (with the link to it being in the completed puzzle) which has some jungle thing with a mountain or cliff at the top of it (maybe it's the background wallpaper to this, but I can't tell due to, y'know, the stuff on the board obstructing most of it here) an 7 pictures of people's eyes. We've thought maybe the password has to do with the names of the people who the eyes belong to, and I thought "maybe each eye belongs to someone on the memory wall", or since the Island picture was taken in Brazil that maybe it has to do with people from the Tocantins season or something. Either way, it's still only one clue so we can only just guess stuff for now.
Also, Bubba heard about Trish getting suggested for a vote and told me he's trying to get people to vote for Amanda since myself, Naonka, and Sarita "deserve to still be here", which...while true, isn't going to be enough to convince me to vote to keep somebody he wants to stay, and get rid of somebody I want to stay when Mary at least seems to feel the same way. It's kind of funny since Amanda will most likely go for it as opposed to well, having herself get voted out, and when Bubba referenced the idea of Trish going as "lolno", I was thinking "Lol, but yes".

Jigsaw puzzles like that should be banned, I say. Like damn those rotating pieces and "I tried that piece 10 times, but it suddenly fits NOW?".

Bubba's back to trying to stir things up again following his loss in the Immunity Challenge, and...I can't really say I'm all that surprised. He's been in a bit of a tiff or whatever since Trish went home instead of Amanda like he wanted. I 'get' why he's stirring shit up and trying to cause trouble, but I don't necessarily like that he's trying to undo work that I've been doing since the swap. The funny thing I've noticed is that so far in the merge, I've gone through it without voting for somebody from my post-swap tribe, and with this round and Naonka and I wanting Bubba out, it looks like it'll happen again. Hell, if the vote goes down to Amanda vs Hayden next round like I either suspect it will be (as I've heard talks even within my alliance of doing Amanda next), then I'm going to push for Amanda to stay because not only do I like and respect her, but that would be looking ahead to the Final 6 where it would either reduce the chances of a tie, or increase the chances of her changing her vote on a re-vote.
Naonka has a bit of a worry that Bubba might have the Idol, and while it IS possible, I suspect he wouldn't be acting as he is, wouldn't have approached myself/Naonka/Sarita like he did, and wouldn't have posted that conversation snippet with JT if he actually did. There's also the bit he told me about making a fake Idol "even though there isn't one". Granted, I also went along with there being no Idol in the game despite the fact there is, and obviously anybody who had the Idol would do anything to divert any suspicion that they did away, but him having the actual one when Naonka and I have been working on it since the merge round with no luck just doesn't seem likely. Bubba's been easily the biggest threat to me thus far and it's clear that he'll do anything, and just about sell out or turn on anybody to get ahead and stay in the game. And if he'll sell out or turn on anybody to get ahead, then chances are pretty high that I'm included in that "anybody" list if it means helping his position.

Man, it is SO good to win Immunity this round with Naonka because it means that we're both guaranteed to make it to the Final 5, and if we can get through that intact, then we'll be in the Final 4 making up half of the entire votes. I've kept trying at the Hidden Immunity Idol since I'm 100% positive on 3 of the people in the clue (I stumbled across the actual pictures they were from), 90% sure on a 4th, and about 75% sure on a 5th, but the last two (top right and bottom left) are driving me absolutely insane to where I spent Friday night and part of last night going through the list of Survivors on the Survivor Wiki to try and find some sort of clue through the cast pictures, but all it's done is make me feel creeped out like I've got some weird eye fetish or something. It kind of sucks because of how much easier the Final 5 would be with it, even if it was the last round to use it. That being said, I'll be freaking livid if I find the password and it's gone already, lol.
So, despite winning Immunity...this round is going to freaking suck. There's Mary pushing super hard for Amanda to go, as are JT and Hayden. JT said Mary would be next after Amanda, but also said it would really suck since he's been with her from the start which gives a sort of implied thought that he'd vote out Naonka or myself before her. This would kinda go along with Mary's insistence that the vote be for Amanda instead of one of JT/Hayden, since she'd be worried about pissing him off. It sort of makes me think that if Naonka and I didn't win Immunity, one of us was going to be in danger and the issue is that Amanda either was against it, wasn't for it, or just wasn't in their plans. Naonka told me that Amanda's down with voting for Hayden, and well, that's about what we're doing too. I'm admittedly kind of freaking out on whether or not Amanda votes Hayden or not, but she better because if she doesn't, then she goes home and Naonka and I are fucked next round without the Idol.
If Amanda DOES vote Hayden though, then it'll tie 3-3, and since Naonka and myself won't be pulling rocks, and neither will Hayden and Amanda, it pretty much forces Mary to either change her vote and vote out Hayden, or risk pulling rocks with JT by keeping it the same. Of course, that assumes that JT doesn't change his vote. Either way, they'd be in worse positions than before, Amanda would be pissed at them, and I'd have the numbers. This is all in theory though, could lead to me getting screwed over, and out next with some jury heat on me, but...I've been able to stay out of the dirty stuff so far in the game, and it's come to a point where if I don't get somebody else's blood on my hands, then it'll be mine instead.

So, I don't really have much to say so far on this, other than Naonka and I are pretty much screwed barring having the Idol, which...despite my efforts, I kind of doubt I'll magically find now. Pretty much one of Naonka or I are going home this round, and really I'm just trying to come across as nonthreatening, or not confrontational, or whatever, so they'll keep me around over her and buy myself some time for the next round. Mary says she's considering doing stuff, but I'm not really banking on it. My only real chance is to make it through and convince one of Hayden or Mary (most likely Hayden) that JT (and the other) won't take them to the Final 2, but that I would and that they'd have an easier chance beating me in the Final Immunity Challenge. Of course, while it's the best shot if I survive, we all know how often that works.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, it looks like I'm being ignored by everyone as a reward for being honest. Ah...that just does so much for my chances, doesn't it?
