Cody's Point ~ Round #5

[Cody Calafiore]

HELLO I AM BACK FOR REALS

First off, I would like to thank the hosts for slowing the fuck down last week. These two rounds were incredibly easy to survive, and the fact that the swap completely coincided with my return was just too perfect and I'm convinced that you guys rigged it for me to survive thanks <3

Anyway, I am pretty happy with how my time on Amsterdam turned out. Taking Tiffany and Holly out was probably the two best things that could've happened for my game. Tiffany was super sketchy and was trying to play us all against each other. And Holly was just fucking crazy lmao. Like, she told people that she didn't like me and then had the gall to ask for my vote. Sure, when she got pissy at me after the vote she said that she was ~just faking it~ but LMAO I don't buy that one bit.

But yeah. My social game was fucking on POINT on Amsterdam, and I think I had everyone trusting me. Hot Dogs and Tim both really trusted me, and I made sure to foster my connection with them. Tim is acutally really fun now that I've gotten tok now him a bit -- I no longer find him really boring. And I acted like I was really protecting him and keeping him safe, when in reality he was never in danger lol. And obviously I have the alliance with Austin and Nat. However, Austin fucking not voting was annoying because one the random vote he casted was for ME (wtf dude), and now it makes him look inactive. He also hasn't been on at all since the swap, which is not a good look. The swap has brought a lot of uncertainty, but Amsterdam has a four person advantage. Which means that I have a lot of wiggle room. If Amsterdam gets the majority with another tribe, I'll be fine. But if the other two tribes team up against us, I have some time before I become a target -- and I can use that time to werk them and maybe flip the script.

Anyway, I'll do a cast reassessment with the new people on my tribe (those that I have talked to so far anyway) as well as the old amsterdams on my tribe.



hot dogs <3  lol we have a good relationship tbh?? He picked me first for his tribe, so I think that means he rly trusts me. But he has mentioned to me that he feels like I have a lot of side relationships and that he might not be my #1 thing. Which tbh is like kinda true BUT he is very high on my trust ranking list. I just hope he doesn't like secretly hate me or anything. Likewise, I feel like he is a pretty shit stirrer type of player. He tells me a lot of shit that other people are saying, but I feel like he only tells me things that will benefit his agenda. E.g., telling me that Holly was talking shit about me and telling me that Tiff was planning on targeting me. like, it is good that he's telling me that but I feel like he must get info that he keeps to himself??? Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...idk how to explain it. 


Also I'm pretty sure he has the idol lol. Like, he was really trying to push to me that Tim has it for some really faulty logic (like, it was gone when Tim came back or some shit like that -- how does hot dogs know that?). Plus, he is the one who told me the password. So IDK! It's not a big deal that he has it -- better him than some others.



Cute. Kind of boring. We had very generic talk. I know he is from the O.G tribe that like never lost -- so it is tempting to go after his tribe in ths swap to prune their numbers. But for now he's not on my radar.



Haven't talked and I hate shelli poole. On my radar.



Again kind of worried for him!!! I feel like he's kind of gone inactive recently. On Amsterdam, he had dustin nat and I to protect him from being the target but TBH I'm not so willing to protect him when it could put a target flat on my back. My game plan right now is to really spread my wings away and have some options besides O.G Amsterdam, and protecting Austin really ties me down. That said, if he becomes a more active force, I would love to work with him.



Haven't talked to. Nextttt



Loveee her <3 we really bond well on a personal level and she's really funny. I think she is a very SOLID ally -- she's got a good head on her shoulders and she really seems to be logical despite her goofy attitude. She's shown a lot of game savvy throughout the Amsterdam phase, and I think she is someone who is gonna go far. I'd love to go far with her too.



We had VERY VERY VERY generic talk about the weather. Wasn't a huge fan 





hahaha glyn is WEIRD. We do this thing where we talk in hearts and keep on posting more and more hearts as we chat. It's cute. And he also pretends that he's a vampire or some shit? It's funny. hot dogs really seems to like him, so I've been working to get him to like me as well. I feel like a potential alliance between the three of us could develop? And I wouldn't mind that.

So overall, just keeping my ears open and trying to figure out where people stand. I'm not too worried -- I don't see myself getting swap fucked *knock on wood*

fucking christ this tribe is a mess

[Cody Calafiore]

but im probably good for this tribal? At least the first part. Jasmine is the easy target because she didn't even submit. Like, no one is going to want to rock the boat especially when we have to boot two people. The next vote is gonna be fucking awful though. Natalie has been running around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to keep us all safe for the second vote when...old amsterdam LITERALLY has majority. We can do whatever the fuck we want at the next tribal as long as we all get through this one.

Now it is POSSIBLE that Jasmine will be saved this tribal to prevent Amsterdam from having a majority. I've been keeping my ears open for any hints of that. Old Bruxilles has been oddly quiet with me about the vote, and were all pretty eager to vote off Jasmine. The paranoid dolt in me feels like it's a bit TOO easy, because they should see the inevitability in an Amsterdamn majority? and of them thus getting swap fucked?

OTOH, no one has talked to jasmine, so maybe they feel like they have no options!

But whatever. My game plan is to get Jasmine out this round, and then Ricky the next, while working myself in good with Glyn. No offense to Ricky -- he seems nice but I just don't really talk to him much and I just trust him the least. If Shelli were here, I'd be targeting her, but since she is NOT....gotta do the next best thing. Ricky leaving and then riding a solid Amsterdam + Glyn majority for a few boots.

Nat has been taking a bit of a leader role, in the sense that she has done a lot of negotiating for a big majority alliance on this tribe. I'm hoping that kind of pushes her into the spotlight for multiple reasons. One, so that she can take the brunt of the heat for any decisions she makes. And two, so that she is an idol target in case any are played :X i should probably do some idol reconnaissance, that would be pretty good to know about and work around.

God I miss dustin btw!!! It's been two days since I've talked to him and it feels sooo fucking weird. Hot dogs has taken his position of the person I bounce ideas off of and can just say whatever the fuck I want to, but still...it's super weird not having a boy to flirt with and shit on the rest of the cast with.

[Cody Calafiore]

Lol this is just too much

like OF COURSE jasmine has an idol, and of course she made a big public show out of it. The vote has now shifted off of her to Ricky -- I made sure it wouldn't shift onto one of my amsterdam buddies. As soon as Jasmine started her spiel I messaged her and was like "HI OMG U RLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN INTRODUCTION " like lmao it was so transparent. But I think I was the first person to message her which gave me some bonus points with her I feel like? She talked about wanting to make a majority group so that she would keep her idol and I was like...oh. yes. I basically suggested she hitch a ride with Amsterdam, and she seems like she's all for it?

I'm getting what I want here still! Ricky is leaving, and I wanted him gone next round anyway. This does slightly shift the plan for next round -- and I really have to think about what's best for me there. Do I just go for Steuart??

The fact that Jasmine is gonna make it through this round without playing her idol is hilarious to me tho.

[Cody Calafiore]

Ew no one is online to talk about this vote :[ I'm just gonna vote steuart though, and get it over with. He hasn't been on for the past like two days, and I don't think anyone is gonna try to save him.

Next round will be interesting and tricky. I think I will be fine either way though? I think I'm good with everyone on this tribe, so everyone will want to include me in with their plans. It's all a matter of me not fucking it up, because I'm on a bit of a tight rope. One mistake and it all comes crashing down.
