The game has finally begun. This is where the F4/5 spots will be decided. It is essentially AAA vs Frosti now. This is when we make our moves. Major round

Well it has certainly been an intense period. Yul and Taj have got into actually fights with Frosti over particular things such as Ethan and how he went and also Tom and how stupid he is. I will let them cover the fights in their confessionals.

I personally had a chat with Tom where I told him that he was too stubborn and that is why he is going this round which is true. Only by some mericle will he be saved. I also talked with Coach and pretended we were still together and still buddies however I know what he has done and his time will come soon. It is also great my relationship with Cirie. She has been feeding me all this info about what Frosti says and I have passed the relevant information for the AAA onto them. I hope it works to save her given Yul's pledge to take out all Galu members due to what they did with Ethan. I hope to save her but there is little I can do.

The reason being that I feel Taj would side with Yul over myself. They have spent far more time together and were also on the same tribe so I feel I couldn't prevent Yul taking out the AAA. I am very much the third wheel in that alliance which is great, but I want to be at the front when I get to the end, not the guy who just helped make decisions. So yes, for me, AAA is a jury making alliance for me. Beyond that I intend to use my current Aitu tribes people aswell as AAA members on the outs to take out Taj and Yul. Thats my view as of now. Taj has a F2 with James, she even told me this and I also doubt Yul would take me to the F2 with him if given the option. Taj is perfectly positioned, everyone likes her. I even fear she may of stolen Corrine off me. Yul is not so well positioned as everyone knows he "makes the decisions" which is good for me as he is likely to be targeted earlier because of this.

But back to AAA vs Frosti and his zombies. Well every night me Taj and Yul have chats about our plans and last night we decided it was time to go on the offensive. Lex will be going in an act of revenge. Yul has also posted a message in Casaya's forums outlining what is happening in the game to rally the neutrals to AAA's side to combat Frosti. My "job" if you call it, is to keep Aitu under control for now. We think it is a AAA-strong tribe who are essentially against Frosti. Saboga too are in this category with Taj on it. We believe we will be able to beat out Frosti due to the fact we believe we have managed to gain the neutrals. Frosti's numbers also seem to have shrunk with more people hating him or not liking and blaming him for the drama caused. He is actually scared now you can see it in his messages which have been supplied to me from Yul and Taj. He is begging with them not to target him. I believe we have practically won this war before it has begun. My aim after all this, is to be the won who leads AAA out of this. There will be drama when Frosti goes, I am sure of that and the mud will stick I am sure. My aim is that Taj and Yul have far more mud on them then myself. Once that happens, I can lead AAA out and get tons of praise for it. If it goes according to plan that is. Yul and Taj might come out too strong and I would have to wait to make my move. Time will tell that is for sure. But Frosti has been working on everyone and that is the true fear. He showed with Coach and Tom, former potential members of AAA, that he has that ability to flip people and that is what we are worried about.

A switch could even screw one of us so that we land up on a tribe with Frosti and his zombies. The possibilities are endless and that is why we must act now. Cut down Frosti's men so that all that is left is him (Yul is gonna love I agree with him when he reads this). I personally tried the assassination and it didn't work out. Now I must concede and try their way. I floated the idea of taking him out now, but apparently from Cirie and other sources, his grip on Coach and Kelly is too strong to try such a move. Ideally Cirie might try a move next round against Frosti IF she can get the numbers. With 4 left (as they will probably lose again) it will be a real scramble. I just hope she makes it to a point where we can work as she is going to be a valuable ally in the long run if I am to achieve what I want. If I haven't already said anyway, Frosti broke my truce with him almost immediatly in a chat with Yul which was reported back to me.

There has also been another game changing element however I am relucatant to share it due to the fact it may influence the Hosts decisions in such things like Swaps or Twists.

[Jaime Huffman]

I look forward to finding out that game changing element

[Randy Bailey]

Well we won TC which is great! I thought I may be targeted as I said I was gonna turn up and didn't so it was great that everyone else turned up! Good work to those five on securing first place for us.

Well the war has begun and Yul or Lex will probably go from that tribe. If Lex goes, Frosti will know it is game on, no doubt. I sort of expect a tribal switch up next round or something like the three tribes will less than 7 members will change into 2 tribes while Saboga and Aitu remain the same.

If we have to go to tribal soon it should be interesting. I don't know who will go, however I will pull for Ashley to be sent packing. More on tribal matters later.

Well me and Nat have been talking a fair bit which is good. She has strong connections with AAA people on Casaya so its all good. Taj told me her F2 was James a while back (probably didn't include it in confessionals). I "accidently" told Natalie this after telling her earlier in the day Taj had no intention of sticking with Casaya:

i think it was a threat to stick with casaya
PouncingOtter 1:24 am
(1:24:35 a.m.): Shes got a F2 with James so I don't know what shes on about
survivornatalie 1:24 am
(1:24:50 a.m.): you weren't gonna tell me that
PouncingOtter 1:24 am
(1:24:58 a.m.): Lol
(1:25:02 a.m.): Well don't let it get out

Sorry Nat I just need to start putting those seeds in place for later on in the game.

Another thing came up in our convo about how Taj was threatening her that she would end the same way like Jenna as Jenna was making way too many deals. Well that reminded me of the lie I told Taj early on in the game. Before we had anything I told Taj that Jenna was going around asking everyone for alliances, including myself and said I had asked others and they said she had done the same with them. Well... That was kinda a lie. She only asked me I had checked with others and she had not talked to them at all lol. Well she had annoyed me with her aggressive nature so I told Taj to cause a bit of trouble on what looked like a really strong tribe. And come on? She might of been going around asking for alliances anyway. I got a feeling anyway it was like she was doing that. So sorry Taj for lying about that lol. It was kinda pointless but at the time it probably had a point. Don't know what I had against Jenna though, I remember setting Timbira against her too... She did something to piss me off lol.
