I thought I had a very good relationship with her. I still am totally clueless on what happened. But she is getting all defensive about anything. Im just upset about it, not the vote, thats the game. But I genuinely thought me and Claire had good talks. Im dead man walking now. And the life for me in this game has been sucked out.

I apologize to Claire. There was just alot of miscommunication , and got lost in all the confusion. Libby thought Claire flipped, but she didnt. Claire did not mistreat me in anyway. Tempers were running high for everybody I guess. I have nothing but respect for Claire, and I hope she wins.

This is a message I got from Claire on how she broke down the evenings events. I believe her.

...........................
So, here's what I think happened...

1) I told Libby Mardah members were trying to get me to vote for her. I gave her the warning, so it didn't shock her when I put her name down (see Evidence A, forthcoming). She interpreted this to mean, I was going to write her name down.

2) Juliet tells Sawyer what is going on, and Sawyer tells Sayid, Jack, Locke and Charlie. Sayid gets pissed.

3) The votes are cast:

5 for Locke: Hurley, Desmond, Danielle, Libby, Claire
5 for Libby: Locke, Jack, Charlie, Sawyer, Juliet
1 for Desmond: Sayid

NOTE: If Sayid hadn't voted for Desmond, Libby would still have gone home. That vote wasn't devious to form a tie...as I suspected...but it did the job.

4) Revote. I figure that whoever voted against Libby and Desmond would vote to keep Locke. She's going home...a foregone conclusion. I send her a note (the same thing I did to Ben when it was a certainty he was going home), asking if it would basically be a slap in the face if I voted for her (see Evidence B, forthcoming).

Results (Wild Guess, here)

Locke: Hurley, Danielle
Libby: Sawyer, Juliet, Charlie, Sayid, Jack, Desmond (?), Me

So, Juliet's defection ensured Libby going home.

That is my best guess, folks...I swear, I wrote Locke's name the first time.

I notice in various posts here and also in your PMs that you sound like you're completely throwing in the towel. Last night was an extremely crazy vote...yet.....you're still here. Do you think immunity is what saved you, or were other factors in play?

I do think immunity saved me for sure. Sawyer denies that, but he also said he would vote with us. Im not believing anybody right now. I dont want to throw in the towel. But that was devastating for my chances. I feel alot of the tribe doesnt like me for some reason. Desmond told me that he bashed me when the first shuffle started, who knows. Jack/Sayid/Charlie wont talk to me at all. Locke has been very respectful. I have no idea what is going on with sawyer. I just got some communication with Juliet, but she is cagey. Right now Im relying on Claire to try to help me out, I dont even know if she would. Also Desmond is out there possibly working some angles. Danielle has no inroads. I feel Claire and/or Desmond are my chances and Im gonna see what they come up with. My plan is to step back now, and see if anything emerges. I felt as though I was at the forefront with the girls,and its time to go under the radar a bit. I pretty much hope to make the jury at this time.

Do you think that if you weren't so consistently strong in the early challenges of the game that you might be in a position now where you wouldn't feel like you need to win immunity?

I dont know, maybe. But Desmond told me he bashed me to his new tribe, as part of his 'plan'. Sawyer told me the other guys were 'scared'. Its just not in me to hold back, and not try to win. Maybe if I ever played again, I would try not to do so good in the challenges. But the challenge performances may have helped gain some footing with new tribemates.Libby and Kate ran to me to form an alliance.
Its a game of close calls, Im a 'monks place' from being in complete control. I also had a chance if one vote swayed yesterday to be back in control. Now Im way on the bottom. Thats the way the game goes.

I gotta say,I think Claire is playing a good game. Im weary of her big time now, not that it matters at this point. But I think what she is telling me is only small parts of the story. I dont know if I hope she wins, but at this point, she deserves to win.

Do you think the word "deserving" will play a part in this whole thing? Sooooo.....who all does or doesn't deserve to win and why?

(of course, we're only at F10 right now, but still an interesting topic)

I hope to make the jury. I survive one more, and Im happy. I hope I get to have a say. Being about half the people dont talk to me, I would eliminate Sayid/Charlie/Jack right off the bat. Juliet hasnt shown much to me at this point either, but I wont call her undeserving just yet, I just dont know enough about her. Sawyer is a wild card, he could be a winner, but dont know. To me the two most deserving at this point would be Claire and Locke. They are playing a great social and strategical game, from what I know anyway. And Locke is also very good in the challenges. If Desmond could somehow emerge from where he is now, he would emerge as a top contender to deserve to win. Me and Danielle will be gone soon, so it wont matter for us.
I hope the word deserving comes into play. If I get on the jury, Im gonna base my vote on who I think played the best. No one really likes me anyway, so that will be my criteria , if I get the chance which is doubtful at this point.Unless I win immunity again its off to ponderosa for me.

99% of every PM of yours I've seen, as well as your Confessional posts and things in The Jungle, etc sounds like you're completely throwing in the towel. So, is that the case or is there a strategy to the things you keep posting publicly...saying "goodbye" to everyone and things like that?

I wouldnt say Im throwing in the towel,but I dont think there is anything I could do. I think everybody , including Danielle and Claire has cut me off. except for the occasional bland response. No more strategy discussions. I think it probably stems from them thinking me and Desmond had some masterful elaborate plan for the merge,which really isnt true. I was gonna be 100% loyal to the girls. I offer people my vote, and I still cant get anywhere, its just very frustrating.
