I'm inclined to agree right now. I'm hoping Billie starts opening up more to people who might actually want to keep her around.
She expressed in her mod chat that she doesn't feel like anyone prioritizes her, so she might be feeling panic and like she doesn't know who to trust.

This is, unfortunately, the downside of Billie's playstyle so far. It gets you far into the game, but as a non-threat that people don't tend to care about.
It's up to Billie to make people not just care, but need her now. And she's working on borrowed time for it.
If Billie sticks the transition, this is a definite winner's story.

Joe giving thoughts. Ok, quick rundown for the specs. In order of my trust on each. Angela - We're telling each other everything and keeping it all secret. I know about Sheva/Angela/Elza/Excella and Matt/Dog/Angela/Elza/Excella. She knows about me/Carlos/Matt/Dog and me/Carlos/Ramon/Katherine/Billie. She knows my advantages and my plans. I'm really relying on her keeping that side of the game's vote off me. Carlos - Everyone is pairing me with him. He's in a couple coalitions, he's also trying to get close with Angela. I kind of view him as an arm of myself at this point, but he's not going to be giving me much info I don't already have. Katherine - Apparently Elza offered a ceasefire and it looks like she wants to target me/Ramon/Carlos instead. It sounds true enough, so I'll assume it is. Katherine is fully commited to working with me/Ramon and I believe it. I would absolute love for us both to survive here. Ramon - I view him as another arm essentially. I'm one of his only strong bonds. I worry about his ability to survive on his own, but we'll see how far I can bring him. (I've come a long way since wanting to blindside him) Jessica - this could go way up or way down depending on how my current convo goes. It definitely seems like she's a free agent not many people are using, and she's giving off the impression of being in the peripherals. I'm taking that bait and asking to work with here here. If I get her on my side here that's a huge win. (She doesn't remember our initial alliance though, she barely remembered me at merge lol) Sheva - We still have an alliance, but we so clearly have different agendas. So we're sticking with a secret spy alliance lol. It's like what I have with Angela. I like Sheva a lot more than I thought I would. We'll see how this goes. Matt - I really don't trust him. I think I have enough spies in his other camp that if he makes a move against me I'll know, but he's so charismatic and charming I might not. He plays all sides. That's dangerous. We have an official alliance with me/Dog/Matt/Carlos but he's very hedgy in it. Angela is telling me he's hedgy in the other one too, so for now I'm cautiously trusting him. Dog - Basically ditto Dog. I used to be higher on Matt, but at this point I view Matt/Dog as the same player. Billie -  ? Not giving me anything. Steve - ? Not giving me anything. Excella/Elza - at this point it's pretty clear we will be on opposing sides until the end. There are 4 people that would vote me in a heartbeat which is one too many, so I'm trying to work something with Billie or Steve. But it also give Matt/Dog all the power to take me out whenever they want if those people stay in. The final thing I'm contemplating is advantages. I'm pretty sure I'm playing my rifle here as it's prisoner's dilleman and I'm taking the safe option. Immediately I'm like "well if Angela is telling you everything, did she happen to mention her idol to you? You'd think you'd mention that if she was telling you everything"  I also like that despite not getting anything from Billie, he recognizes he needs to potentially work with Billie. There's a lot to take from this though, some good takes, and some really really not good takes. Either way this is good content. |

Here are the tribal questions, and the only response thus far. As more come in I'll post.   1. Jeff, True Power is the third studio album by American rock band I Prevail, released on August 19, 2022. The album was proceeded by the singles "Body Bag" and "Bad Things." "Self-Destruction", "There's Fear in Letting Go" and "Deep End" also later became singles. I obtained True Power on Spotify, and I'm glad I did. 2. I'm honestly shocked that my time was fast enough. I feel really fortunate to win an immunity challenge and a little sorry for those who barely missed out. I think that my major advantage was that, rather than use clunky search engines like Google or Wikipedia, I answered each question by flipping through my 30-volume set of Encyclopedia Britannica. My ace in the hole! I can only hope and pray that the remaining individual immunity challenges are open book. 3. As I approach this vote, I am mostly thinking about Joe Baker's shadowy visage and shifty eyes. Also bagels. Bagels are delicious. 4. The main thing was that Dog and I had to cancel our final-two deal. 5. Winning immunity after sooo many immunity losses feels like Billie Wesker's picture. Twenty-eight faces to start the game, and just a single smile. |

Power is like love. It can appear in a flash, disappear in a moment. Be slowly built up over time, or weathered away by its unrelenting tide. I gain power by sharing the love. Bang bang. Kiss kiss. 💥💥💋💋 By being unrelentingly sassy, sexy, and s...ending you messages to make sure everything is cool between us, right? Mostly, just not getting voted out. I would not vote for me if I were on the jury, I'd be kicked out of the game for breaking the rules and I probably wouldn't receive any votes either for much the same reason. It was my running assumption until proven otherwise. Though, secretly, I was hoping for a final five as much I was hoping we'd start with seven tribes of four. Why not? 🤷‍♀️ Is this a foreboding question that hints at a zombie returnee twist? If so... Excella ❤️🧟! Please don't eat me |

From Joe's mod chat:
I'm thinking I'm definitely either going home or losing an ally here. I tried to mastermind it so none of that would happen, but I think it will be too hard
So I'm hinting to Dog that Ramon would be someone I'm okay if he targets
since Dog loves being on everyone's good side, giving him the permission there might lock his influence into wanting Ramon
And Ramon is an acceptable sacrifice of an ally
(Because he doesn't seem to do a lot

4 idols make it impossible to predict who will reach FTC until most of them are gone.

I'm rooting for Carlos, Angela and Excella. Maybe Joe. Katherine knocked herself off this list by worming too hard today

With 5.5 hours left we have…2 of 13 votes in. I genuinely don’t know what is about to happen and there is a distinct lack of confessionals to support what is happening.
I think people are like…not happy with Joe for reasons? Without more context it feels very much like “scapegoat” mentality.

Joe also left a cryptic message that “people were lying.” And then left to go take a nap.
Its all very confusing right now.

One thing I will say is that if Elza goes here and Katherine doesn't, it would be very funny to me even though I like Elza and would like to see her stay

Carlos is a confessional King and giving us content: Okay so here's my relationships and what I think might be going on. As always Carlosheads this will look pretty fucking sick if I actually get voted out. I seem to still be Joe's #1, so he's pulling me in all kinds of directions right now. This is good it keeps me in the in-group. Joe isn't my #1 but he is my number and I think I can count on it. I might tempt him tonight to do something for my game without him knowing. I actually think I want to go deep with Ramon. I really need someone not on my original tribe to work closely with because there's still 5 of us floating around. I haven't let Ramon into the inner circle of my thoughts yet. I need to start doing that I think to gain his complete trust. I also need to pull him and Joe apart a little bit. I think I can do that. Because of Joe I am working with the Dog/Matt pair and also Katherine. I've gotten Sheva so worked up about Matt that she is barely talking to him. I started whispering about how dangerous Matt was before I even met him. The best part is that I told Matt other people think my rumors about him. I'd actually like to get one of Matt/Dog gone to free up the other from their pair so I can be more important for their game. I might have a way to do that, see below. Katherine I keep waffling on. She is very hard to talk about the game with. But I was very patient today and we finally got started talking about it and I think she could be a number for me. BUT, the way she acts with me and the way everyone else describes her is so different. Elza describes her as the ultimate flip-flopper can't be trusted, ruthless, that sort of thing. Elza sees herself in Katherine. But even Katherine's allies describe her differently from my experience with her. Like Joe describes her as so logical and calculating, gamebot like but I don't feel that. Dog says he has short messages with her but I really don't, we talk about a lot of (non-game) stuff. Ramon says they were against each other but now are cool. So on one hand if Katherine is this very powerful player who will make calculated decisions I want her gone. On the other hand I feel bad that Elza is so forcefully targeting her and want to do something about it. I don't know! I think all these people plus Sheva and Jess are technically my numbers. But I think I can get in with the rest too. Elza is pretty blunt and in your face and I kind of like it because she just comes across as someone who isn't going to lie to you. I think she may have an idol or is trying to act like she does. I got pulled on the opposite side of the tribe but if I can wiggle my way out of it I'd like Elza to stay. She is likely to go without an idol. But if she stays she's a big target and that's useful. Excella is pretty cool she basically info dumped everything about her game, well surface level anyway. She also has an honesty about her. I'm hoping that whatever happens at TC Elza doesn't take her down with her. If Elza goes and that frees up Excella, maybe I can pull her into my side alliance with Ramon to get me options outside my starting tribe. Billie is just not giving me much. She is Jess' side alliance though so there's not much for me to do here right now. I'm doing my best with Billie but we're not compatible in the game I don't think. She doesn't give a lot of game info. I think I realize I just gravitate more to players who want to talk about the game we're playing. Steve is fine. I'll never trust he doesn't want revenge and Excella already let slip he's still salty about that even though he says he's not. For my part I've been very careful to praise Steve to others so that Steve hears how I'm praising him. I want Steve around as a target but I also think he's willing to spill about the game too. Angela I think is a threat. But she is immune, and I learned that she wants to target Matt. So I'm going to start spreading that around. Specifically I'm going to tell a few people on my side to see what they think. I'm also going to tell Katherine that I feel bad and I want to give her a third option. I'm told she is cold and logical so she might take the info and do something with it. I'm telling Joe to cover my ass so if word gets around we go to Matt and be like "Joe and I were discussing what we should do about this" and then stick with him. I'm hoping to inject some mistrust between various peoples so that I can continue to play through as a trusted person you can ask to vote with you. Also Ramon also mentioned that Billie isn't giving him much. I wonder if Billie is holding too many cards close to her chest as this is a resounding theme from two people round who feel she doesn't give them much. "Elza describes her as the ultimate flip-flopper can't be trusted, ruthless, that sort of thing. Elza sees herself in Katherine." Hot DAMN Carlos! I had to drop my phone when it got too hot from the nuclear level burn there |

? Not giving me anything.
