Voting History

[Matty Whitmore]

I am casting my vote for: Mary

Hopefully I have done enough to make it past this Tribal Council... I really wanted to stay under the radar, but that strategy might have actually put me in jeopardy this round. There's a lot of active/strong players on this tribe, and the only ones weaker than me are:

1) JT - But he's at Outcast Island doing nothing, so unfortunately he's safe this time.

2) Sydney - She won at Outcast Island last round, and now everyone thinks she has a Hidden Idol so they refuse to vote for her... even though she's still one of the weakest players on our tribe.

3) Jenna - She missed the first challenge due to a family matter, but seems to have made up some ground.

4) Mary - She was strong in the first challenge, then seemed to fizzle this past round. I think the tribe is either voting for her or me this round. Hopefully her!

I am casting my vote for: Chet and I would like to use my 3x Voting Reward that I won from Outcast Island.

Sorry buddy, but it's either you or and me... And I'm still not convinced that it won't be me, so I'm using my 3x Voting Reward to make sure that I stay in the game.

I am casting my vote for: Phillip.

Apparently the majority is voting for Phillip, but I have a feeling something crazy is going to happen. There are so many Outcast Island prizes still in the game, and with the new prizes from the last immunity challenge, who knows what all could factor into the game tonight.

Anyway, that's the bad news. The good news is that I think I'm under the radar right now. If people want to take out a strong player, they should be voting for Joel. If people want to take out a weaker player, Jenna would make more sense. I think I'm in an okay spot... at least this round!

But having said that, I could totally be the one going home tonight, too. Nothing would surprise me in this game!

I am casting my votes for: Jimmy and Naonka.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about who gets voted out. After Phillip's little speech, I don't trust anyone in this game. I know Jenna, Julia and Sarah are using me to get themselves to the Finals, but all of them will turn on me as soon as it benefits them. Joel went from being the most likely to win the game, to being a lazy, indecisive follower. It's like he's not even playing the game anymore. Then we have Anthony. He was never very active to begin with, but now that his aunt passed away, it's even worse. Gillian either blocked me or has a different AIM that only Sarah seems to know... And then we have Jimmy and Naonka who have both said they think they are being targetted at this Tribal Council, yet neither of them tried to talk to me... In all honesty, if they did, I might have went along with whatever they wanted to do just 'cause I'm not really tight with anyone in this game.

I am casting my vote for: Naonka.

Joel's a douchebag and fucked this one up for everyone... Jenna, Jimmy and Julie have an alliance, and Joel is banking on the hope that they'll take him to the Final 4, and then he just needs to win 1 challenge and he'll be in the finals. He's been playing very under the radar in the last few rounds, trying to downplay his strength in challenges.

Anyway, this round we had a chance to team up with Naonka, Gillian, Joel and myself and vote out one of the J's... Gillian suggested we target Jenna since she supposedly has a 3x Vote Multiplier, but Joel went straight to Jimmy, who went to Julie, who went to Jenna. Way to go, Joel. Even if you do make the finals, I'll make sure that he doesn't win it. The guy's just an ignorant douchebag that can't get his indecisive ass off the fence. There's an episode title for ya!

Bye Naonka... Sad to see you go, but at least you went out fighting.

I am casting my vote for: Jimmy.

It's pretty crazy how quickly things can change in this game. Last round, Gillian and I had a deal and we were trying to get Joel on board. This round, Joel and I have a deal and we are trying to get Gillian on board. Last round, Jenna, Jimmy and Julie seemed to have an unbreakable alliance. This round, Jenna and Jimmy both want each other voted out. It's hard to keep up with all of the drama in this game.

Anyway, it sounds like Gillian, Jimmy and Julie are voting for me this round, and Jenna, Joel and I are voting for Jimmy. In the re-vote, we'll try to convince Gillian that it's in her best interest to switch votes, and if that doesn't work, Jenna and Joel (I think) are okay with going to a purple rock.

This round has really shaken up the game, and hopefully things work out. Jimmy is getting way too cocky about his position in the game, and I'd love to see him sent packing.

I am casting my vote for: Jimmy.

After the vote split last round, I was hoping that Jenna, Joel and I could work together and make it to the Final 3. Everything just made sense... Take out Jimmy at the Final 5, then Julie at the Final 4, and then Jenna, Joel and I would fight it out in the finals. Simple, right?

Unfortunately, Jenna and Julie have worked things out (or so they say), and Julie has convinced Jenna to vote for Joel... I don't like it, but it was Jenna's decision.

It sounds like I'm in the minority tonight, but I have been honest to everyone about my vote so I don't think it's going to hurt too much. Earlier, I told Jimmy that I would probably be voting for him... Then I told Joel that I would vote for Jimmy. And I discussed things with Jenna, and she knows why I won't be voting with them this round, too.

So, hopefully I can pull of one more immunity challenge victory, and secure my spot in the Finals!

I am casting my vote for: Julie.

After Jenna turned on her alliance with Jimmy and Julie, both of them were pretty clear about wanting to vote Jenna out. However, last round, Jenna repaired her relationship with Julie and supposedly made a Final 3 deal involving Jenna, Julie and me. Unfortunately, I think Julie was playing Jenna and telling her exactly what she wanted to hear, even though Julie had no intentions of following through on it.

Now, I am in a pretty sweet spot. I know Jimmy is voting for Jenna, and I know Jenna is voting for Jimmy. So I'm casting my vote for Julie because:

a) it will give Julie a battle scar so that she can't use "I never received any votes" as a reason for jury members to vote for her in the finals,

b) I know Julie is not getting voted out, so this is one more round where my hands are totally clean. Of the 9 jury members, I only voted for 2 of them when they were eliminated,

c) this will mean Julie's vote will be the deciding factor in who goes home, which means she will have backstabbed one of her allies.

If Julie votes for Jimmy, it will be 2 votes for Jimmy, 1 vote for Jenna and 1 vote for Julie. Jimmy goes home, he'll feel betrayed by Julie, and I would probably get his jury vote.

If Julie votes for Jenna, it will be 2 votes for Jenna, 1 vote for Jimmy and 1 vote for Julie. Jenna will be upset with me, but I told her I was leaning Julie. And, the other 2 voted for her, so I should get her jury vote too.
