OK, getting caught up isn't going to happen, so I've decided I'm just going to designate this round as my new starting point, and hope that I can garner enough information from what follows to jumpstart my PW usefulness. I can barely express how embarrassed I am that I let this slip so badly. All of you - Production, PWs, and, after the game, the players deserve better of me. I agree that Jared appears to be in the worst spot right now, but Hodges isn't exactly safe, either. The appearance of being connected to too many sides can make him a very real target this round, if things don't go his way. He does seem to be working hard - and with at least some success - to endear himself to critical decision makers, and that's probably what will ensure that he's not a goner this round. But whoever said this is absolutely right. He's going to have to pick a side. Not because it's not good to be a free agent, or to be "in" with multiple "sides", but because the perception that he's shady WILL lift its ugly head and that can spell real trouble for him. Quick observations, barely game-related: Charlie, dude, can you do maybe another fifty videos, each of them at least 20 minutes long? Please? Because really, it never gets old listening to you verbally meander around a single statement for an hour. (I may be biased, since his long-ass videos hampered my ability to get caught up) Vic, still enjoying the confidence - without hubris - that you give in your videos. Even when you don't know an important fact, there's always this definite sense that you're going back out there and finding it out at your earliest convenience. Might not be a real thing, but it sounds like it to me. I like it. Hodges, dude, please give us more of that Day in the Life thing you do in your videos, because really, that's what I'm here to watch - your mildly boring life. Seriously, though, if I haven't been feeling enormous pressure to get caught up, I'd have probably enjoyed them a lot, but... well, I found myself skipping forward a lot. Since I've only been watching Episode Six entries, I'm kind of jonesing to hear from a frew people. Top of the list are Katie, Joanne and Nikki. I just want to get that Woman's Perspective, and each of them are positioned so differently that I think hearing where they're coming from right now would help me a lot to get my poor absent brain wrapped around the current dynamics of this game. Final Word: I will be here from now on. Really sorry I haven't been able to grace all of my with my charm, wit and intellect the past couple weeks, but you've got my (nigh) full attention, now. Since I turned 49, I feel like this whole thing has come into sharper focus for me... or maybe it's just the onset of senility.

My bad, I told Hodges how much I love how he talks about his life in his video confessionals, and so he said he would continue that for me. Haha. I love video blogs and watching his confessional makes me feel like I am watching a video blog and I love that! Sorry if I inconvenienced anyone for my own enjoyment.

Kirin, knock it off, being all nice and apologetic and shit. This my situation is unique and entirely on ME. And, like I said, I'd probably enjoy it if I weren't scrambling to catch up. Dummy.

I love watching these contestants being tortured with an endurance challenge. Kind of like you, Chris and me in the FIC of Japan! Oh wait... you threw that one ...

Wow. Vic just passed his HII to Christina. That's THREE stones she has, now: Nullify a vote, Steal a stone and Hidden Immunity Idol. WTF!? Did Ricky know that she had mind control powers when he cast her?

Cristinagoddess <3. She reminds me of an ingenue version of myself, back before I had a reputation ^___^. Definitely a mega threat that people are overlooking. She's in good with everyone. I am guessing Vic passed Cristina the Idol as a safety measure in case he's blindsided? I don't think he's going anywhere. Bye bye Katie... kinda felt sorry for her in her last confessional but I won't be heartbroken. Jared surviving this is amazing and adding to my adoration <3.

Everyone in comparison to Cristina right now: Can't wait to see her shock everyone in future rounds with how many Black Idols she has her hands on!

Has Derek always been this big a whiny fucking crybaby? Waaah! Christina stole my completely useless black rock! RAWR! So Mad! All my energy will be on getting her voted out because she dared to take away something that doesn't even rate thread in my Journal. Waaaahhh! My pussy hurts!!!
Gawds I want to punch him.
First of all, you lost nothing, so suck it up. Secondly, since you told everybody it was an idol clue, you've just put that target on someone else (and since it wasn't actually anything, it's not like you could find it and save yourself). Third, get your head out of your ass so you can start thinking with it, instead of having to rely on your achey breaky heart which, as one might expect, contains zero brain cells. Fourth, she had to use it on somebody, and she needed to do it soon-ish while enough of them are still around. WTF are you taking it personally?
Christina, now it's your turn. What were you thinking?
If you'd thought it through, (who would even TELL everyone they had an idol or an idol clue?) you'd realize that it was probably either a dud or a curse, and Derek was trying really blatantly to hide that fact. Basically you wasted that rock, which you could have avoided by using your brain. I know, it's hard when you've spent the whole game keeping it set on low power.
I am curious why you specifically chose Derek, though. I mean, you COULDN'T have believed his line about the idol clue, so what was it that caused you to pick him? Not a criticism, just curiosity.
I suppose, at the very least, you can out him as a liar, now. Not that it wasn't obvious.
