Ok so hi. Basically where I'm at is that I have an alliance with Dustin, Cody, and Natalie. Hotdogs also came to me about us working together because Holly exposed a lot of stuff to him about working with Dustin and Cody and a lot of running around that Tiffany has done, targeting anyone she can. She mentioned he and I being on the outs from what she can tell so, after she agreed to work with him, he came to me and told me all of it and wanted to pull me in. It was actually a really awesome convo with someone I hadn't talked to a ton until that point. He also said we had to get Nat on board for an outsiders alliance of us 4. Nat and I talked about it the next day and we were very much in the middle of this tribe. The only people I wasn't really connected to were Tim and Tiffany. Holly and Hotdogs had talked about targeting Tim or Dustin if we lost so all I had to do was sway things onto Tim and I'd be on top here with Tiffany as the only real dissenter.
Fast forward to the challenge and we bombed it. I didn't put a ton of time into it because of some real life laziness/being busy but still managed to score one of our few points. I'm a fast enough typist and managed to cut my time down quite a bit with only a few attempts. Everyone else was awful though and we lost a challenge I didn't really want to. A lot could go wrong now with other people being targeted and me being forced to choose a side. With Hotdogs being reluctant to sacrifice the shield that is Tiffany, really Tim going was the only good outcome. And if anything else happened, I might have to show my cards too early.
Last night not much happened other than my alliance of Dustin, Cody, and Natalie wanting to vote Tiff. Natalie pushed Tim initially but Dustin seemed more ready to vote Tiff and Natalie didn't want to draw any more attention to herself. We let the target settle and decided we'd just have to swing Hotdogs to be willing. I (and many others) called it a relatively early last night. When I got online today, I had missed a lot of drama. Apparently Tiffany was targeting Dustin this morning and went to Hotdogs about it. For some reason (probably because he doesn't trust the Tiff/Tim pair per Holly), Hotdogs told Dustin about this. Dustin then became mad at Tiff and had even more reason to vote for her than he would have had before. Tiffany heard that Dustin knew and got mad at Hotdogs. She then targeted him, got Tim on board, and tried to recruit Natalie and I. We played along as have now Dustin and Cody but Tiff is going in a 5-2 vote.
Basically, we got Hotdogs on board with a plan he may not originally have been for and he'll be able to explain it to Holly. Natalie and I are right in the middle of things and have played everyhting well, keeping all of our true allies happy. We will be a tight group of 6 because of this going forward with just Tim on the outs and I hope we can explain stuff to him so he doesn't flip in a swap. Should all be good though. I love being in the middle despite mediocre activity at best. I will go into more detail about general stuff after the vote tbh.
