PUBLIC ENEMY #1 TO ALPHA
So Penner and I had created a final 2 alliance called J2 (Penner's idea, a play off of the names Jon and Jon). This was ok by me but I had some red flags on Penner from the beginning of the first challenge. I went and asked each guy on the tribe about the popluarity vote and EVERYONE was extremely over the top adamant about Penner being #1. I thought to myself either A. This guy has multiple deals with these people or B. He is creating a very good social game.
I absolutely can NOT have him play a good social game because I would like to play that type of way and #2 I know that type of player can be dangerous, I know this from experience. So I kept that in the back of my head. Now Penner suggested we add in Frosti to the mix as a final 3 deal. What does this equate to me? Very simple, him and Frosti will also have a side deal to go with each other to Final 2 and I am just the middle man.
From that point on I knew there was no way I can trust Penner. No way no how. They created a group chat called "Rebels Alliance". Pretty weak name if you ask me, GREAT JOB FROSTI!....They spoke about the plans for us to go to the final 3 and also debated on who could be a possible 4th and 5th and also who would be potential targets for us moving forward. When it was all said and done Carter was elected to be the 4th member but just as a simple number, nothing more nothing less, just dispensable. The targets were Spencer firstly and then Rudy as a backup if we went twice more to tribal council. I asked questions like any noob would (since I am acting like a brand new noob) MAJORITY OF IT was nothing but BAIT. I lured the bait and those bitches bit hookline and sinker. I kept on giving them more and more rope to hang themself and that they did. After ALL this talk I invited Carter to the group chat. Penner & Frosti quickly became worried because Carter would be able to see all the backlog chat. I apologized that I hadn't known that could happen and quickly kicked Carter out of the chat group.
I did all this ON PURPOSE so Carter would see Penner and Frosti for who they were and to expose..mainly the brains behind it all, Penner. I knew Carter would be the hardest person to get on my side and Spencer/Rudy would be a bit easier since they were the ones who were on the chopping block, they have no other options but me. I spoke with Carter and explained everything in detail. After several conversations Carter was on board. I later spoke with Rudy and Spencer and it took 0 convincing pretty much to get them on board with me. So at this point we had the 4 of us, enough to at least force a tie.
Fast forward to the night of our previous competition. Everyone is in the chat talking, bonding etc. I sat there and really enjoyed some of our guys but still I contemplated how can I just completely fuck over Penner and show everyone how fake this guy is. Then it hit me. It was time to transform myself from Clark Kent into...
In the group chat area I decided to out Penner in high style. I posted about 10+ screenshots of him and Frosti basically downing the entire tribe and all the conversations about us going to final 3 etc etc etc. Within 15 minutes Frosti committed suicide and deleted his account and Penner was left to scramble. He quickly apologized to Rudy and Carter and tried to regain trust. This went on for the next 24 hours but at the end of the tribal council meeting more people decided to back me over Penner and Jonathon Penner got his torch outted.
Now I've never been this vocal or in the spotlight so early in the game, that's not my approach. I am more laid back and methodical BUT I knew if I let this go long enough, Rudy and Spencer might go home and I am far more inclined to work with them over Penner and Frosti.....Moving forward......Coach and Richard acted like total dicks to me the entire day yesterday because "they knew" I was going home. Coach outright told me he is voting me and nothing I can do will sway his mind. I made it known to both of them the reason I did what I did had good intentions behind it, sure I shouldn't have done it THAT way but the reasoning of what I showed was for the betterment of the tribe. But NO, they weren't having it they wanted my head under the guillotine. No problem, I advised them both if they voted for me I would return the favor in future tribal councils. Like true cocky assholes they both pretty much said "who gives a fuck you're going home anyway" not necessarily in those words but I understood what they were saying. What they didn't know was I had Carter in my back pocket and he was the swing vote that would send Penner's ass home where he belongs.
Sure enough after Penner went home Coach and Richard quickly came to me seeking forgiveness.
I reminded them of the conversation we had earlier in the day before tribal council results where they both said they would have no hard feelings if I gunned for them had they voted me. They both voted me so in turn I will gun for them. Now I told them all this shit but the truth is we HAVE to win some challenges, the girls are already up 2 on us and we can't go to the merge or a swap down a shit ton or we'll all be at risk. That doesn't mean I can't have Coach and Richard pissing in their pants in fear of going home though
. Carter and Spencer suggested I become the Alpha and I have no problem leading our tribe. It's about time we start uniting and cutting down the girls some and that's where we stand at this moment in the game.The game of Survivor is about taking chances, making moves and outwitting, outplaying and outlasting the rest. I've started my path to that. Sure I didn't want to be in the spotlight this early but I have no problems doing so and taking it round by round. This race is a marathon not a sprint.
I was the most hated person in the tribe, public enemy #1 and now I am the Alpha and leader in our group.
Do I have what it takes to turn this whole thing around? Can I really come back from all that's happened?
