Going into the last tribal my main worry was that Taylor would have the idol and vote for me. So I talked to Taylor most of the day. I acted like I believed that she didn't vote for me the round before even though I thought she did. I told her I thought we needed each other here and that I didn't want to go to the final four with the three boys bc I thought I would be cut next. She said she wanted Danny out and I agreed. What I was saying was true but I also thought it would be crazy of me to keep her after I thought she tried to vote me out the previous round, so I wasn't sure what I was going to do. She told me she thought Jake would vote for Danny but he wasn't really responding to me so I wasn't sure what he was going to do. I saw the benefit in getting rid of Danny because Danny wanted to go to the end with Jordan and likely saw me as an obstacle in his way especially since Jordan claimed he told Danny he couldn't promise him final two.
When tribal started Taylor was still messaging me telling me to vote Danny, I said I would. Then Jordan told me to promise him I was voting Taylor. At that point I planned on writing her name. But then Taylor messages me again and says she does have the merge idol and playing it on herself tonight and that Jake was voting for me so that I needed to vote Danny with her. I said okay done. I wanted him out anyways so it worked for me, and now I had a good excuse. I thought it was possible she didn't have it and it was a trick but I wanted Danny gone anyways. I also figured she probably had it all along bc where else could it be at that point? Most everyone who left seemed to know they were leaving so I thought it was still in the game. Danny was arguing today that Taylor would have played it last round but I knew that Jordan and I made her feel really safe before the last vote, so it didn't seem weird to me that she would save it for this round. So the vote is revealed and its 2- Aubra 2- Danny 1- Taylor. I guess Jake did the same thing with Danny that Taylor did with me and messaged him during tribal and had him vote for me because of the idol. Jordan says he was also told but didn't want to choose between Danny and I so he voted for Taylor anyways. So now Jordan had to choose. I knew it was really hard for him because he really likes us both, knows we would both take him to the end, and feels like he owes Danny for saving him. However I've been with him the whole merge and I know he thinks I'm his closest ally even though he's been upset with me. He also said he couldn't promise Danny a final 2 so it made me feel like he'd probably keep me. However, he wasn't telling me he was so I was nervous. When the vote was revealed I still didn't know what was going to happen. But I survived another close call and I'm thankful my relationship with Jordan got me through this. He called me after and said hes upset bc he thinks he could've beat Danny but can't beat me. So I guess it was a decision based on loyalty and not a game decision. I really don't understand why everyone in the game all of a sudden thinks I'm winning the game but okay hope you guys are right.
Jake messaged me after and said he's sorry that he tried to get me out because he thinks I'm going to win if I make the end. He still thinks Taylor has the best chance but I'm next. I'm confused why people didn't think Danny had a better chance that I. He made a huge move with the Ricky thing and hasn't really pissed anyone off. Well besides Josh, lmao. Jake says Ricky talked to him before our fight saying that he thinks I win if I'm in the end. He thinks Ricky is going to hype me up. LMAO. I'm like dude "Ricky blocked me on Facebook... he's not hyping me up." Maybe he'll vote for me over Jordan but that's about it. Jake also said he didn't want Taylor to get her way again which I suspect is the real reason he targeted me. The fact that Jake was banking on Jordan voting for me shows he doesn't have a full grasp of the dynamics of the game.
I'm now super thankful that I went with my gut to get Knight out and stuck with Taylor at final 6 even though I got votes. If Jordan and I hadn't assured her she wasn't leaving I probably would have been idoled out. Also, the fact that I voted for Knight, and Danny voted for her, probably contributed to her decision to take out Danny and not me. Jordan keeps saying we should have still voted Taylor but I believe if I wasn't keeping her she would have been able to tell. And having Knight around instead of her wouldn't have worked out as well for me. Maybe it would've been better for Jordan if she left last round bc Danny would still be here but it wouldn't have been better for me.
So final four. Everyone wants to take Jordan to the end. Which makes him feel like shit and like he can't win so I feel bad about that but hey at least you know you're probably going to be in the finals, just start working on your speech now. I think Jake is technically a bigger goat but hes so good at comps that no one wants him in final 3 assuming it's a final two. Except maybe Jordan. So basically Jordan and I can't be directly voted out at four as long as we stick together, which we will. If Jordan kept me over Danny he will def keep me over anyone. And I have no reason to evict him. Taylor and Jake are great at comps though so hopefully it won't come to a tie. I think we can get Taylor or Jake to vote for each other. If Jake is safe we can try to sell him on the fact that Taylor is good at comps and will win in the end and won't take him. If Taylor is safe we can try to sell her on the fact that Jake is good at comps and won't take her to the end. This is all assuming its a final two of course. There's a chance they vote together to break up the pair of Jordan and I esp if one of them is safe and has nothing to lose, but hopefully we can convince them not to. I really need to try my hardest to win these final comps. Especially the final three comp if there is one. No one is taking me to the end except for Jordan. I can try to convince them that I won't win but everyone seems pretty sold on the fact that Jordan is easier to beat in a jury vote than I am.
