Looking at Doggo's new post in the watering hole.
Someone played an idol there? I guess that must have been mystery box 1 or something.

really should have paid attention to the "can't find via source code" rule on that challenge, it meant we prepped wrongly.

Love that we get to be worry about challenge results for another 2 days btw. Lovely decision making and a chance for Dog to impress me that I use my idol to keep him in the game.

Sarcasm. I don't think I ever use words like lovely literally. It's more directed at my tribe deciding that we'd just do it asap though. (not that I had a problem with that, I'm just getting eager because merge should be here soon)
It probably is fair that it exists though, because if I didn't have someone that is unanimously disliked now on the tribe, talking about potential tribal councils would be that much harder. Although we still wouldn't do it until we actually went into one. It is a semi-live challenge afterall, and the other tribes don't have choices of sitting people out because they have stuff on, they possibly do actually need the extra time to organise two hours free for all four of them.

and I've let slip that I have a limited time idol. Knew it wouldn't last. I can't hold secrets. I am surprised I haven't revealed Capy's double vote yet.

Okay I think I do actually like Dog, at least for the time being.
I mean I'll still be voting him out if we go to tribal, because #expectations and #newbieculling, but at least I'll feel sad about it.

I could slip him my idol, and take out Sloth, but since I let it's existence slip to Owl, that will come back to bite me.
So I guess that would be taking out Owl, but also why? I'd be then practically running myself over for no actual gain.
A jury isn't going to award me the win because I decided to save Dog for a round. Whomever is eliminated instead wouldn't even make it to the jury, so what kind of move even is that?

The same thing with Seal and Cat. They might be a practical partnership from being on every tribe together and therefore me aligning with them based on Aquatica is me being a third wheel. Like I don't even know how vulnerable I might have been without that individual immunity necklace back at tribal council 4.

So yes the strategic move so I don't catch heat having to explain myself is to just go default vote out the newcomer to the tribe. \ This would probably have been the case if Mongoose had actually cared enough to save himself as well. As Mongoose going wouldn't be a big lose to my overall gameplan.
Wait I have an overall game plan?
Frog, please tell me more!

So right now, us losing the challenge just means we lose Dog again. This makes for a very boring tribal, so the attention will all be on the other tribe.
Easiest way to change things would be using the idol, as I'm not convinced I actually have the social captial to be playing around with this tribe. Especially when we're still prejury.
But dammit I'm going to darn well consider the options anyway.
Best case scenario, we win immunity again. No problem. Entire group goes on and dominates merge or at least whatever bit of merge we reach before we decide other people are worth keeping.
But back to stupid thoughts that won't matter as I know I won't go through with them We go to tribal council. For some reason we elect to keep Dog - I need the entire remaining tribes blessing for this to happen, otherwise it puts me in bad light I do not want to be in bad light with a known challenge advantage. But say it did happen. Big questions asked by the other 8 people left in the game. Why did that happen? Obviously I'd need to pre-craft an explanation as to why such a thing could happen. Because as has been established already, if you're keeping dog, you're telling the world you're attempting to take him to the end as a pet. That is the big reason why Dog doesn't stand a chance at this point in time. Nobody wants that big a target at a possibly 13 player merge. How do you convince at least half the other players that working with Dog who would be extremely loyal to you is good for their gameplan? You can, but it will be under the circumstances that you're getting your head cut off at F7. Dog will then survive to the end with whoever takes that charge of beheading you.
Like Dog reaching F4 just gets chosen by whoever wins immunity. I don't think surviving fitness challenges would convince an MS jury, but there is every chance that they'll be bitten that you decided to keep Dog who barely understands the social side of the social game in the game over them. I guess he'd just better show some strategic understanding if he were to survive and should he actually make merge. Because having someone that has at least briefly met everyone else on your side feels like an advantage somehow.

What’s the story of you sharing about your idol?
