Night 18
Coming back from tribal council, the air is relaxed, as the five left genuinely get along, and sit around the campfire, making jokes before heading off to bed.

"wicklow"

- You might as well call this the Kumbaya tribe, after tonight’s vote, we seems so much more harmonious, but I know that these people think game 24/7, so I’m not convinced. Well, maybe not Nalia. Or Bruce. Or...well, I guess we really are the Kumbaya tribe then! *laughs*

"wicklow"

- The Oddball alliance survives another night! We’re holding up pretty well over here, and everyone’s getting along, which is another vote come merge-time in Jonah. If we get can Chaswell back to our side, and Jonah with us, then whenever we merge, we’ll have 6 strong!

Day 19
The next morning, Tommy approaches the group as a whole and says they should be the top five left in the game, to which the rest of the tribe excitedly agrees, especially Jonah.

"wicklow"

- Finally, I’m starting to intertwine with the Waterford tribe! Come merge time, whenever that may be, we have five strong over here and can easily pull another Waterford from the other tribe, it’ll be great to see the looks on the ex-Wicklow’s faces when I outlast all of them!

While Wicklow’s camp is calm and united, Waterford’s air is full of tension and division, as the divide between the three Wicklow’s and three Waterford’s is becoming all the more obvious at time goes on. Janette, in an attempt to break this divide, pulls Riley off to the side.

“Hey Riley, where’s your head at in this game right now?” -Janette “I have no idea, honestly. Obviously, Nancy and Chaswell want me to stick with them, but Chaswell is such a dramatic person, I’m scared to even be around him!” -Riley “*laughs* I definitely understand that. You could always come over to our side, we’d love to have you, plus, I really like you.” -Janette “I don’t know, I’m still fuzzy on the idea of going against Nancy, but I’ll definitely consider it.” -Riley “Top two?” -Janette “*sighs* Top two.” -RIley

"waterford"

- I had a talk on the beach with Riley, and she slowly seems to becoming more and more willing to go with us, I hope my final 2 deal with her sealed the deal, even though I have no idea if I intend to keep it. So far, I’ve been playing a quiet game, but I figure it’s time to emerge from the shadows and really control my fate, and hopefully Riley will allow me to do that.

"waterford"

- Everyone seems to be fighting for my vote, and it’s starting to wear me out. I like Nancy, I really do, and I don’t want to go against her, but if it means keeping someone like Janette in the game over Chaswell, then I’m willing to flip.

Meanwhile, Wanda and Nancy retrieve treemail, and alongst the way, talk game. Nancy says that with their bond, Wanda should vote with them, and that they could use Chaswell to gain control of the game, and have him as a shield. Wanda is attentive, but indecisive, telling Nancy that she’d think about it, similar to what Riley said to Janette.

"waterford"

- Everybody’s feeling the tension of this 3-3 split, and everyone’s trying to stop it, and nancy’s campaign today proved that. I mean, Nancy is probably my closest ally, so if it means drawing rocks as the alternative, I don’t see why I shouldn’t align myself with her.

"waterford"

- It’s hard to keep someone like Chaswell around, but I’ve been doing the best I’ve could to campaign my case, and the seed of doubt is slowly but clearly spreading itself through Wanda’s mind. Should we go to tribal council, I think we can pull her in for that crucial fourth vote.

The two get treemail, which instructs Waterford to go to the reward challenge.
