After the First Vote

[Erik R.]

Coming back to camp, I think most of us were breathing a big sigh of relief.  We knew the idol was out there, we all thought Greg had it, but we were also scared that Eliza may have had it with how complacent she was yesterday.  Not a lot of scrambling on her end.  Which is why I cast a vote for Greg.  Had Eliza had the idol, we would've ended up in a 1-1 tie, well, a 1-1-1 tie because of that random vote for Dave.  That was the most confusing part.  I think Greg threw a vote for Dave in case Eliza played the idol and voted for him.  But regardless, that was the main surprise, so we're not sure if we can trust Greg.  He told me he voted Eliza, and maybe there's a tiny chance Sean or Lil is playing me and voted Dave, or Eliza voted for Dave and one of those two voted for me, but...pretty sure I can still trust my core four.  Regardless, we're in control, me and Sean and Dave, and Lil thinks she's in tight with Dave and me, so we have her on board, too. Unfortunately, Greg, the one we trust least, probably has an idol, so should we go to tribal again, delicacy is key.  We may have to send Lil packing, but getting Greg out with the idol would be ideal.

Anyways, winning the challenge is the main strategy.  And I like our chances.  I did get one stray vote at tribal, but I think that was Eliza just trying to go for the easiest target after her.  But I'm not gonna screw up the challenge this time around, so hopefully no one will have any reason to come after me.
