Last week ended with a 3-2-1-1 vote and Natalie went home. This didn't go as smooth as I had wanted. I wound up telling Dustin, Ian and Natalie what I was planning on doing. Natalie understood my decision but not before trying to see what she could do to change my vote. After the results, Ian said I had short sighted goals and while he didn't agree with what I did, he understands why I voted her out. Dustin on the other hand is pissed at me. He wouldn't talk to me that night and disappeared until the challenge. I don't know if there is much I can do in the way of working with him now. He is now a big underdog with 2/3s of his Amsterdam alliance on the jury and good challenge performance skills.
One of my big things this week is to continue to make Dorothy comfortable with me. If she wins immunity again, she needs to not vote for me. If she doesn’t win immunity, I need her to not target me so I can take a shot at her idol. Julia and I were discussing this possibility a couple of days ago. Either way I need to continue to make it seem like i am very close to her, so she doesn't suspect a blindside.
The challenge was majority rules, and I came in last. 
Oh well, I did what I thought the majority would say. I actually love that I was not the answer to any of the questions. If this had not been an alias game, I would have been the answer for every bad decision. Shows how much hiding who you are can really allow people to see different aspects of yourself. On the bright side, Julia won immunity, good for her. The downside is she didn't get her exile pick submitted in time, so Jaclyn is now going to exile again. I really wanted her as a backup for the vote this week.

I really wanted her as a backup for the vote this week. In the preliminary stage of the vote this week, it seems to be between Carrie, Dustin and Ian. This is not what I want to see happen. That said Dustin has made it clear his target is Julia and he can’t vote for her. So he is willing to vote either Ian or Carrie. Ian on the other hand is willing to vote either Dustin or Carrie. Dorothy seems to be pushing for an Ian exit at this point in time. The only people I want to truly know about the vote this week are my girls.
So today I plan on pulling them aside and by whatever means necessary making sure the three of us vote against Dorothy. I want to get her while I can, idols are messy. I know where they all are currently (I believe). The problem with this vote for me is I am not around much today. I just need to speak to my main girls and tell them to not open their damn mouths to anyone other than us three. We are the only three people with votes that matter this week if we play it off properly. I will also tell Ian I am voting for Carrie and I will tell Dorothy that Ian thinks I am voting for Carrie but I am voting for Ian. If everything works out the way I am hoping tonight. It should be a 3-2-1 vote with Dorothy walking out the door without playing an idol. Risky situation for me to be in though without immunity, especially if I am orchestrating this boot. If I pull it off though, it will be two blindsides in a row I am the direct cause of, and one I influenced very heavily. Wish me luck guys, I feel like if I this does work we will see two pairs of three going at it next week.
Bootlist:
1. Dorothy
2. Jaclyn
3. Dustin
4. Ian
5. Julia
6. Carrie
Until next week.
