Challenge #13: "The Pecking Order"
I believe at this point, anth and I agreed that numbers would be the next to go. In the game play, I threw a few votes Mecca's way to throw off our alliance, and Jackie and I came down to the final two. Jackie went on to win immunity and Al's Buddy Reward. She chose to wipe her vote total clean, and almost immediately, Mecca got word that anth wanted to vote me out, and he already had GIM on board. Mecca shared that information with Melissa, Jackie, and I, and I immediately decided that anth had to go. To throw him off, Mecca replied to anth telling him he'd vote for me, even though he'd actually vote for anth.
We were reaching out to numbers, Alexis, and mewrio, when Mecca got another PM from anth. Anth's plan was starting to fall apart. GIM changed his mind and refused to vote for me. Instead GIM wanted to vote out Melissa. Anth sent me a PM telling me that Mecca wanted to vote for me, and that we should just take Mecca out. Right after that, he, sent another one telling me that GIM wanted to vote Melissa out. Then anth started to panic. He tried to call in my favor that if he helped me get to the merge, that I'd take a dive for him. But it was really too late for him. I used his notes against him to solidify my alliance with Mecca and Melissa, and we blind-sided anth.
anth told me about that shortly after the merge occurred. However, Dave lied to me and said that he wanted to take me to the final three.Elvis @ Mar 14 2005, 04:32 PM wrote: DrSteggy got Mecca on board, and he wanted a Final Three alliance with me and her in return. So it turned out that the last person we contacted for an alliance, turned out to be our best alliance partner.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #3: "Al's Co-workers Reprise"
We lost the points total (no surprise really with ccs and doggans on the tribe) so at the first TC, I was all set for mewrio to go. GIM wiould vote with me, and I'd let ccs and doggans know to vote for mewrio. And if they didn't vote, no big deal, because they'd vote for themselves, and GIM and I would still have majority. My only concern was that mewrio would be more helpful in challenges than ccs or doggans. But then someone alerted me that Jeremy posted updated rules that if a tribe only has 3 members, it gets dissolved. That allowed us to keep mewrio one more time, and drop some unreliable deadweight. So, I told mewrio and GIM to vote for doggans. This also built some trust between mewrio and myself, which would come into play near the end of the game.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #4: "Disgusting Food Competition"
If we lost this challenge, GIM, ccs. and I would vote for mewrio, and I'd tell mewrio to vote for GIM, under the pretext that GIM was a stronger player than ccs, so we needed him out before he helped another tribe. ccs's vote really didn't matter again, as GIM and I would have majority without him.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #5: "Thread Posting"
This challenge was, again, all about winning immunity for my tribe. If we lost, same scenario as above, mewrio would have gone home. Plus, after the challenge, we picked up spacedingo when his tribe disbanded, so that made our tribe all that much stronger, and me all that much safer.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #6: "Video Scavenger Hunt"
Another group challenge where I just tried to win immunity and didn't care how the other tribes voted. mewrio was still on the chopping block for us if we had lost. But alas, no TC for us, and here's where my previous vote against Driew came back to haunt him. >:)
Challenge #7: "Go Fish For Parodies"
Another group challenge. mewrio still on the chopping block. No need for TC, as we won immunity again.
Challenge #8: "The Big Pun Challenge"
Another group challenge. Same story. After this challenge we picked up anth and Fintron.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #9: "Picture Puzzle Maze"
Melissa and I won immunity, while the rest of our tribes went to TC. Kevbo quit, meaning only my tribe had to go to TC. Fintron got voted out solely because he was the new guy. Losing Kevbo here was a mixed blessing because he had been a very loyal alliance member, and probably would have stuck to the alliance to the end. But at the same time, I felt Kevbo would be more loyal to anth than myself if it ever came down to it. So I think it was good for me that he left. I still felt I had the alliances I needed to protect myself from votes anyway.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #10: "THE OUTCASTS' REVENGE!"
The tribes shuffled again, and once the dust settled, I found myself on a tribe with AlsGal27, Mecca, anth, mewrio. and GIM. My tribe lost this one, but it was a unanimous decision to get rid of another deadbeat, AlsGal27.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #11: "Mock Interview Mix-Up"
We won immunity on this one, but had we lost, I believe mewrio was once again on the chopping block. I learned that Jackie and Melissa were targeting numbers, but their plan involved making sure ccs voted. Despite my constant and relentless PMs to ccs reminding him to vote every single time, ccs forgot to vote this time and voted himself out. And I lost one of my secret alliances.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #12: "Tribal Council Parody"
I got to play Robert DeNiro's Mole on this one, and my scheming wasn't good enough. Because my tribe won, I went to TC with Jackie, Mecca, numbers, Alexis, and spacedingo. All 10 people voted. Spacedingo did what I felt people should have been doing from the beginning of the game, he tried to get people to vote for me! But at that point, I was in a tight alliance with everyone except mewrio, numbers, and Alexis. But numbers and Alexis had an alliance with Melissa and Jackie, and I used the trust I built up with mewrio to get him to vote for spacedingo, and we unanimously voted out spacedingo. . (True, Mecca voted for Alexis, but he jumped the gun. It didn't matter though, as long as it was a vote for anyone other than me, we still had majority.)

Elvis wrote: Challenge #14: "The Star Wars 28th Anniversary Commemorative Challenge"
Our plan was to vote out GIM this time, since he was the only one to side with anth. But GIM won immunity. So it came down to whether to get rid of numbers or Alexis. We decided to get rid of numbers, because we weren't sure of his previous voting record.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #15: "Six Degrees of Twists"
No immunity and no reward on this challenge, but I don't think it would have mattered. Melissa was the intended target from the beginning, because Jackie and I were starting to get worried that Melissa might not be true to our alliance. We were pretty confident that GIM would vote for her with us, because he wanted Melissa out previously. And mewrio was voting however I asked him to, so with Mecca and Jackie, I had the votes we needed to get rid of Melissa. And we were right on about her not intending to stay true, because after the challenge, Melissa approached Jackie and Mecca about voting me off. She convinced Alexis to vote for me telling Alexis that she wanted an all girl Final 3 with Jackie. Mecca and Jackie stayed true to me, and we voted out Melissa.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #16: "Weird Al Logic Puzzle"
The next target was Alexis, but a twist put anth back in the game, and that pretty much meant I was going home. We were always at least one vote ahead of what we needed, but with anth's vote it forced a tie. Unfortunately, if I went head to head with anyone in a tie, I would have lost because of my previous votes. I tried to win back Alexis's and GM's vote, but I knew it was a longshot. I decided that if I couldn't win, then surely I wasn't going to let those responsible for voting me off win!!! >:) I got a guarantee from Jackie and Mecca that if I was voted out, they would avenge my death. Their next target would be GIM, followed by Alexis.
Mewrio, Jackie, and Mecca voted for Alexis with me, but anth convinced Alexis and GIM to use his double vote, and vote me out. My game was over. Now I'd just have to sit back and wait for Jackie and Mecca to get to the Final Two. I was so confident that they would make it to the Final Two, that I wrote the comments that I used at the Final TC the night I got voted out. I used them word for word at the Final TC.
Elvis wrote: Challenge #17: "The Medley From Hell!"
All I know is Jackie spent every free moment she had working on this thing. As they promised me, Mecca and Jackie voted off GIM.
Word got back to Driew and he approached me about it. I carefully worded my response and Driew bought it. Meantime, Mecca was invited to the Yahoo! group.
Yep, same for me.Elvis wrote: Cut and paste previously written speech. Send vote for Jackie to the host. Done.
First off, Driew did NOT help at all on this challenge, which is why we thought it might be smart to vote him off.
Good point. I just don't get that statement. There were people on our tribe that did TEN TIMES less than what I had done for the tribe. I know that that's not why you guys voted me out, because that's all false....anthontherun @ Mar 14 2005, 05:12 PM wrote: I wasn't on your team at that point so I couldn't have cared less.
