Confessional number three

[Parvati Shallow]

Well that TC was all over the place. Whats with all the random votes ?
I guess I should be relieved that my name didn't pop up. I had nothing against Paloma but Stephen approached me for my support and I said ok since he already seemed to have the votes. Then Dave came to me with a plan to go after someone else and let Paloma and Steve fight each other. It made sense strategically but I had already given Stephen my word so we put operation get Shannon out on hold til this week.
Dave seems to want Shannon out next and I am fine with that. Especially since Shannon doesn't seem to want to talk to me. I have sent him IMs when he wa slogged on and he doesn't even answer.

The tribe division seems to be ok for me because I have a few people that I am good with for support and a few that we can target if we lose and have to go to TC. My only concern is that I would like to get one more person to join Aras , Dave and I so we have control of the votes. I talk to Stephen more than the other three ( Nick, Shannon and Stephanie ) but something tells me he may be with Stephanie so bringing him in will be tricky.

My plan for this week is to get to know the three I am not safe with and see if any of them have ally potential. Not F2, or F3 type potential, I just want an extra vote for now.

Update:

I have a very close bond with Dave and I want to remain loyal to him but we definitely need to get 2 more people to help us control the votes. Aras was certainly the first option and last night Steph told me that Aras and Dave wanted the 4 of us to work together. I had been hoping it would be Stephen but Aras and Dave seem to want Stephanie instead. OK I am down with that. It wasn't my preference but I will appease them so I said fine to Stephanie. That makes us a foursome ( Stephanie, Parvati, Dave and Aras ) Last night that sounded pretty good.

But today is a different story. Neither Aras or Stephanie have been around for this challenge and we really needed them. Poor Dave was our only thrower and he stayed on all day. We were actually in the lead at 4:30 but he had to leave..he was passing out. Now the other team is going to win and TBH I am not fine with voting out anyone that has made a effort.
It was going to be either Shannon or Nick that left if we lost but they have both been here to compete and if we lose this challenge it will be because we didn't have a thrower. We had 3 catchers and no-one to throw for us for the last 3 hours of the challenge.
Personally I would have stayed ( if I were Dave) but he really tried and he couldn't. He was falling asleep at the comp and I felt guilty for pushing him. He definitely gave 110% and I hope he gets MVP out of this.
I know one thing for sure..MY ASS isn't going anywhere and neither is HIS !!!
