Concentration is Key

Concentration is Key is the eleventh episode of Survivor: Indonesia.

Night 28
"balut"

- I'm quite surprised that Louisa and I are both still in this game. I thought for sure one of was going home, but I guess the majority didn't trust Sarah and decided to vote her out instead of us, using us as decoys.

"balut"

- With tribal council over with, I think that Tamara and I should rejoin our forces to try and fit through the cracks of the majority alliance. If we can infiltrate them, then we can make it further.

"balut"

- I just realized that the past four people voted out have been post-swap Mahakam members, and that worries me because I could easily be one of the people going out next! It may just be in my head, but I need to break that curse.

"balut"

- I think that people have been underestimating my strategic power in this game. The only three votes I've received so far have been randomly thrown at me, and I have a loyal six-person alliance. Louisa and Tamara better watch out because they're next.

"balut"

- Every round feels like it's rinse and repeat. We get back from tribal, Brian has his latest scheme, we have the reward, some camp time, immunity, some camp time, and then tribal council. It gives me tons of security, but it's quite boring. It gives me no resume for the end and I need one! It might finally be time to get rid of Brian.

Day 29
"balut"

- Evangeline and I are plotting Brian's demise, and the perfect way to do it is to gather the alliance minus Brian, and try to manipulate the vote into a very messy way so we can get Brian out, yet have a backup.

"balut"

- I really like Kevin and Evangeline's idea. We can give Brian three votes, from Kevin, Billy, and Evangeline, then Arthur, Brian, and I can vote for Tamara, with the two others voting for whoever they want. This makes a tie, and on the revote, we have the majority to vote out Brian. It's the perfect plan!

"balut"

- There seems to be a meeting involving the majority without Brian, which is quite surprising because he's supposed to be their leader or something. Better tell him to make those cracks go deeper.

"balut"

- On my way back up to camp from fishing, Louisa tells me that my alliance is doing some strategy talk without me, and I'm confused as to why they would do that. It'd be best to confront them to see what's going on.

"balut"

- Louisa ends up semi-exposing our plans, and Brian is interrogating us, so we need to come up with a fake story that doesn't involve Brian or Louisa! We just say we're planning to vote Tamara out next because she's the only one not here. Things could get messy.

"balut"

- I find out that they are simply making scenarios to get rid of Tamara, and I realize Louisa is just being stupidly paranoid. Might as well join in on the conversation to see what ideas they have.

"balut"

- They mention Tamara's name, so I think it'd be smart to tell Tamara about what's going on. She needs to know if she should play her idol or not at the next tribal council.

"balut"

- Louisa informs me that the majority alliance is going after me at the next tribal council, and I'm pissed. I'm going to go up there and confront them about it because they need to know that going after me isn't a good idea because of my idol.

"balut"

- Now Tamara is on her way to the shelter and she isn't too happy. I don't know why she's mad, but it seems like she's going to dish it out on us. This might not go so well.

"balut"

- Tamara confronts us about voting her out, and tells us she has an idol, confirming our speculation. The only way to know about this is Louisa telling her, meaning that Louisa wasn't looking out for my best interests, but only for herself and Tamara which isn't a good idea for her.

"balut"

- The confrontation train is going at five hundred mile per hour! Brian confronts us with Louisa, then Tamara confronts us, and now Brian is going to confront Louisa! They are all just making a giant mess out of their games and gives us the perfect excuse to blindside Brian.

"balut"

- Brian is getting mad at me now just because I was trying to save myself! If you were on the bottom, you would do the exact same, you little nincompoop.

"balut"

- Not everything is about you Louisa. I'm just so angered at this chain of events. Louisa is going home next and I don't care what anybody says about it.

"balut"

- To get some time away from the chaotic camp is just amazing. Finally, I can just relax, eat, and help some kids! I'm probably most excited for the last one, because giving back after living here for 29 days is really nice.

"balut"

- I generally don't like little children too much, so I'm not having the best time. The other three are super happy, they're hugging the kids, running around with them, but I simply cannot do that. I hate kids!

"balut"

- After the tension at camp, it's nice to take break, even if it's with people who helped cause the tension in the first place. We're probably never going to work with the two on this trip, but to have a nice little experience is quite nice.

Day 30
"balut"

- I think that I've calmed down after yesterday's chain of events, and now I'm ready to have a civil conversation with Brian instead of a giant blowup. Crossing my fingers that things don't go awry.

"balut"

- Tamara decides to come up to me to propose a plan, but I can't have her voting out an ally of mine. I tell her that the plan is split the vote between Louisa and Arthur, and that she can vote for Louisa to go home. I hope she doesn't tell Louisa about this fake plan because it will create another round of chaos.

"balut"

- The plan is Louisa, but I really don't want that to happen, so instead, I'll get Louisa to vote Arthur with me, and that means with the way the plan is going, we can flip the vote, making sure that Arthur goes home instead!

"balut"

- Tamara informs me about her changing up the plans and it's genius! We can flip the votes to get rid of the flipper, and he can go to jury and stay out of our faces. I can't wait to see the look on his face.

"balut"

- This vote is probably going to be a mess, and I think that Brian will go home, but Louisa is voting for who knows what, Tamara is voting for Arthur, Brian is voting for Tamara, and I guess the rest of us are voting for Brian? I'm not sure and it frightens me.

"balut"

- I think that Brian winning immunity is actually a secret blessing in disguise. We can avoid that chaos, and keep Brian calm for longer, therefore boosting his ego and he won't be able to even see a thing coming from his loyal servants.

"balut"

- We're gonna have to flush those plans down the drain tonight! I guess we'll just stick by Brian's plan again and get rid of Tamara tonight. She better not pull out an idol because it could mean a 2-2 tie, and I don't want to be on the receiving end of those votes.

"balut"

- Although I lost that immunity challenge, I think that tonight will be quite the fun night. People better watch out because Tamara is making a comeback!

"balut"

- The plan tonight is simple, it should be four votes for Louisa, three votes for Tamara, and one vote for whoever Louisa votes for. If something goes crazily wrong, I'll be worried, but if there is a slight hiccup, I can deal with it accordingly.

"balut"

- Brian has immunity and is the leader, so of course he's going in to tonight's tribal overconfident. Things could get a bit spicy tonight if he lets it get the better of him, and I hope that ends up happening!

"balut"

- In this game, concentration is key. You have to pay close attention so you know when the right time to strike is, and it seems like it might be now! We may not be able to get rid of Brian, but we can try to make him weaker.

Final Words
"balut"

- I really should have used my idol tonight! You win some and you lose some, I guess. It was a crazy experience and I want to do it over and over and over again! I hope Louisa or whoever organized my blindside ends up winning because they both deserve!
