Journal Entry 27, Day 18
The vote is revealed: 1 vote Julie, 2 votes Trevor, and 6 votes Arun. Yes! Everything has gone exactly as planned once again. It really sucks to see Arun go because he is a great guy but I knew that he was not going to be someone I could trust in this game. Although he was someone who I could use for my short-term benefit, I had a feeling that he would not plan to stick with me in the long run. Therefore he had to go.
Before the vote was revealed I decided that I would inform Robby Rob about the impending changes. I wanted to make sure that my line of communication and trust with Robby Rob remained intact. Consequently, I decided to message Robby Rob early in the morning while he was offline. I said that we needed to talk asap. I knew that he was offline and would probably only see the message while I was at work. This way I would have a valid excuse not to reply until last minute. Once he seen the message I left him on skype he messaged me on Facebook. I didn't reply until the last hour before the vote reveal. I told him that things had been crazy while he was asleep and that the vote completely changed. I blamed Arun's carelessness and pointed out his public confessionals. I gave Robby Rob this information so that he would still continue to trust me after the vote reveal.
Robby Rob immediately proceeded to alert Arun whom immediately contacted me:
I'm glad that he isn't holding his elimination in the game against me. This conversation definitely shows his true character. Arun is amazing and I'm glad we got to play this game together.
Also, this conversation reveals that he had intentions of working with Ky and/or Michelle after a tribe swap/merge so I definitely made the right decision.
It also looks like my plan with alerting Robby Rob has worked and we are still on good terms:
I'm glad that he is still open to the idea of keeping me in the loop. My strategy of making it seem like I'm not the one calling the shots is continuing to work flawlessly. I am curious to find out what he plans to talk to me about. I have to prepare for major damage control tonight.
Additionally, apparently Arun feels that someone hacked into his YouTube account last night. I think that this idea is completely unfounded and I think production made a terrible decision in making an announcement about it. If he doesn't have any evidence besides a feeling then the fact that production outed that information just gives Corazon more insight into our tribe dynamics. In addition, it puts me in a slightly bad position because now the others on my tribe will know that someone outed the information about Arun's public confessionals. Way to go Production!
Nonetheless I will just have to mitigate this issue and make it seem like I was pressured to reveal the info. Please try to use more discretion in the future when making public announcements about things that have no proof! If I wasn't in such a good position this could have been potentially detrimental to my game.
Arun's confessionals not being put on unlisted or private had nothing to do with his departure from the game. They simply served as an excuse I was able to give for why he was being voted out.
