Another vote out of the way, and I actually find myself second guessing things a little bit. It's weird, but something tells me that I should've been a bit more open and honest about things that were going on to Tracy and Adam from both potentially a strategic and personal level. In retrospect it might well have just come off to Tracy that "yeah, you're coming to F3 with me so just shut up and do what I say" when I know full well that stuff like that's not how to try and get people to work with you. Especially when that someone's a friend of yours that you're trying to work with. Funny that I'm having an attack of conscience or a realization about things now, but this doesn't mean that I'm going to apologize for playing the game hard. I've always figured that an All-Star game involves most people being out for blood and that it was what it was going to take to win. I've played hard and cut-throat when I've felt the game's called for it, but right now I feel the best and most effective way to play this game until the end is straight forward and no bull s---. Of course, if I'm wrong and get voted off, then kudos to everyone for tricking me.
I've spilled that Penny and I have been close to Tracy and to Adam, and revealed a lot to them, hoping that I'll be able to earn some sort of trust to them with it (even though chances of just that causing that to happen are low because of how Marcus went out). Ultimately though, as the old saying goes: actions speak louder than words. There are times in this game where honesty is the best policy and where it's best to say exactly what you're going to do and do exactly what you say you'll do. And yeah, there's a bit of thinking that it might help me out a bit in front of the jury too, if I go about it the right way. I may be taking a different approach to the game for the next little bit, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try and be any less aware or get careless.
