Here is the short conversation where I got Sassy to open up with me, on a strategic level:
[06/08/2014 8:18:46 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Ilyyyyy
[06/08/2014 8:18:55 PM] Taylor Street: I love you more (heart)
[06/08/2014 8:19:04 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... :
[06/08/2014 8:19:11 PM] Taylor Street: You have such an adorable voice (heart)
[06/08/2014 8:20:51 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Aw lol
[06/08/2014 8:20:57 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Thanks u
[06/08/2014 8:21:01 PM] Taylor Street: ^_^
[06/08/2014 8:21:51 PM] Taylor Street: How do you feel about the group of 5?
[06/08/2014 8:22:04 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I'm scared
[06/08/2014 8:22:15 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Cuz the numbers r smaller
[06/08/2014 8:22:22 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : And anyone could go
[06/08/2014 8:24:30 PM] Taylor Street: Yeah I feel the same way
[06/08/2014 8:30:27 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Ily
[06/08/2014 8:30:36 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : You have me at least
[06/08/2014 8:32:04 PM] Taylor Street: And you have my Axe!
[06/08/2014 8:32:26 PM] Taylor Street: Lord of the Rings reference, in case you didn't know
[06/08/2014 8:40:27 PM] Taylor Street: Hold each other? (heart)
[06/08/2014 8:40:53 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Yes plz
[06/08/2014 8:41:34 PM] Taylor Street: Do you think we will be ok if we lose?
[06/08/2014 8:42:57 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I think so
[06/08/2014 8:43:07 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : We just gotta talk
[06/08/2014 8:43:10 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : To ppl
[06/08/2014 8:43:34 PM] Taylor Street: Well a majority is 3
[06/08/2014 8:43:54 PM] Taylor Street: So as long as we get 1 person with us, we will be fine.
[06/08/2014 8:43:54 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Maybe like
[06/08/2014 8:44:15 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Talk to Kyle or drew I would say drew
[06/08/2014 8:45:32 PM] Taylor Street: Kk
[06/08/2014 8:45:38 PM] Taylor Street: Don't feel that great about Joanne?
[06/08/2014 8:45:45 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Idk
[06/08/2014 8:45:50 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : She hasn't talked to me
[06/08/2014 8:48:47 PM] Taylor Street: Yeah true. She has been talking to me a bit more recently, but it's hard to say how she feels about me
[06/08/2014 8:59:00 PM] Taylor Street: We will be fine, I know it (heart)
[06/08/2014 9:00:21 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Ilysvm
[06/08/2014 9:40:36 PM] Taylor Street: *hugs tight*
[06/08/2014 9:42:20 PM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Mwah
And this next part of our conversation is from today, a couple hours after I created the latest video I posted, where I said I wanted to plant seeds of Jo and Dru being tight:
[9:50:13 AM] Taylor Street: At least we are going to kick ass in iSurv1vor, right? ^_^
[9:50:45 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Exactly!
[9:53:49 AM] Taylor Street: I'm sure getting 1 person to vote with us would not be difficult
[9:54:03 AM] Taylor Street: Just as long as neither of us are a target, all is well.
[9:55:01 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I knoooow who do u think we can get
[9:55:29 AM] Taylor Street: Well, I guess there are a couple routes we could take.
[9:56:10 AM] Taylor Street: I think it was Chris that said he thought Kyle would be a target if we had to go to Tribal Council. I figured it would be someone like Mike, but maybe Kyle was a potential target as well.. I dunno.
[9:56:48 AM] Taylor Street: So there's always that route of throwing the vote onto him if Chris was right, and Dru and Jo were already considering him
[9:57:12 AM] Taylor Street: But I had also heard that Jo and Dru were tight with each other, so that would leave us at a 2-2 split if we took out Kyle
[9:57:44 AM] Taylor Street: But I dunno. I am fine with whatever you think is the best idea
[9:57:49 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Yeahhh I know
[9:58:14 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I think like
[9:59:01 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : We gotta consider if it's good to make moves so early
[9:59:08 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Or if we r prepared haha
[9:59:18 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Where's Kyles head at
[10:02:12 AM] Taylor Street: Yeah thats one of the concerns. I wouldn't want to do anything too crazy too early on, and then have it affect us in the future.
[10:02:33 AM] Taylor Street: But at the same time... if it turns out the other tribs are stronger than us in challenges, I'd hate to be cornered haha.
[10:02:42 AM] Taylor Street: So it is iffy either way
[10:03:00 AM] Taylor Street: Well
[10:03:58 AM] Taylor Street: Based on my convos with Kyle before the swap, he seemed to think that Joanne, Nikki, Dru were all extremely tight with each other.
[10:04:18 AM] Taylor Street: Based on that information, I'm pretty sure he would want to try to get the target on one of them if we had to vote
[10:04:47 AM] Taylor Street: And I think he actually told me he liked you once the game opened up too
[10:06:05 AM] Taylor Street: Him and I have had some bad blood in the past. We have never really got along. But if we thought it was better for our game, I would be fine working with him. Regardless, you are obviously my #1
[10:06:27 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I wanna talk to him cuz he hasn't talked to me at alllllllll haha
[10:06:55 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : You're mine too!
[10:07:11 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : I hear ya it's concerning
[10:07:43 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Maybe like if Kyle talks to u
[10:08:33 AM] Taylor Street: Yeah he talks to me a bit
[10:08:42 AM] Taylor Street: He doesn't seem to always be around though
[10:08:45 AM] Taylor Street: Maybe he works or something
[10:09:52 AM] Taylor Street: It is tough really even thinking about this because I legit love everyone here
[10:10:10 AM] Taylor Street: And even talking about potentially voting someone out makes me sad lol
[10:16:38 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : Bring up like what he wants to do a after a first vote off
[10:16:44 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : And feel him out
[10:16:58 AM] Sassy<3BrianNelson ... : And I know I love everyone too
[10:17:25 AM] Taylor Street: Yeah I can talk to him. You should try talking to him as well to feel him out.
[10:17:56 AM] Taylor Street: But I am pretty darn confident that he would prefer to see either Joanne or Dru gone, just because of that potential relationship with them and Nikki.
[10:18:40 AM] Taylor Street: Not sure what he would do after that. He could quite possibly want them both out back to back, which would put as at a 2-1 advantage.
So I decided to light a fire under Kyle's ass, while also trying not to offend him by making it seem like he is playing a horrible social game with Sassy
:
[10:06:47 AM] Taylor Street: You should really try opening up to Sassy
[10:07:04 AM] Taylor Street: I think I am getting somewhere with her, and I kinda planted a seed of Jo and Dru being friends
[10:07:29 AM] Taylor Street: So if we can seal the deal with her, we are in good shape. We just need to be really social with her and keep her happy
But in the end... I think I am ultimately going to go along with whatever Sassy will want to do. Without her vote, I don't think I will have the votes to make things go my way. I feel like I will be relying on her vote (OMFG, I SAID THAT LAST ROUND IN A VIDEO1 I LEGIT SAID "I feel like Sassy is someone whose vote I will be relying on in the future". I swear I am psychic. WTF.), so I want to keep her happy. I also plan to keep up on my relationship with Joanne because I actually think there is some potential there with her as well. Legit the only thing that worries me about Joanne is how much influence Dru has on her. Why did Dru have to be on my tribe? -_-
