Coming to you live from my apartment, this is Rob Censternino on Rob plays Survivor Warriors: Japan. Tonight's episode is sponsored by Souplantation, all you can eat for $10/person and California Pizza Kitchen, quality food at a waking distance. Tonight we will dive into heresy about my public image and what implications it could have down the road. So let's begin.
We will start with what happened after Reed was voted off. PG confronted JFP who "mistakenly" posted what PG told him in the public Genji chat thinking he was posting it in the Genjo AOA chat. Twice. *facepalm*. That lead to, justifiably, some bad blood between PG and Fairplay. PG messages me and asks me point blank if she is next. I try to feign sympathy and say it is likely her next and throw in some stuff about being on the wrong end of a tribe swap. Funnily enough, I have never actually been at the wrong end of a swap. Even in a season where I did horribly and never had any bearings about the direction of the game, the swap always benefited me
But yeah she tells me "she appreciates it" it being my honesty, I guess. Pfft. Who cares.
Now while me and corinne talk about what we should be doing next, we get this bombshell dropped on us that the next is a double TC followed by an RI duel
. We were really playing around with the notion of taking out JFP next because of his "big move" impulse. But after learning the nature of the events that are upon us, it doesn't make sense to get rid of Fairplay. So we sort of settle in at the conclusion that whoever out of PG and Eliza doesn't win immunity goes next. Cool. Fine by me.
Now in he night when Corinne and I are talking, she tells me Eliza messaged her outta nowhere saying JFP messaged Eliza "You're next"
She tells me Eliza said it ruined her christmas. And adds on this little nugget "Apparently you (Rob) are his (Fairplay's) bitch" 
Now this is not the first time I have heard this. Before the Reed vote out, I was told my image is that of Fairplay's "right hand man" At this point I am concerned about Corinne finding out about my side deal with Fairplay. So I try to laugh it up as best I can. Also troubling is the issue oh who is spreading this and how came they by this intel. I suspect Fairplay himself has boasted to his "mole", who he claims is Amber that he has me under the palm of his hand. SMH. And if Corinne has heard this information from Eliza then it is safe to assume PG, Alex, Baylor, Siska and Amber have the same perception of me. *sigh*. Not good. Not good from an endgame standpoint.
Now onto next day. Results are revealed. And oh man! PG smoked it. 7 FREAKING HOURS!!!! So the vote as of now is set by default to Eliza ... I think. At least as far as Fairplay goes. That's what he thinks. He even showed me his parchment which honestly is both funny and kinda douchey. I talk very briefly with Abi and confirm that the vote is Eliza. She hopes Corinne is on board. Then PG messages me. And I try my best to not come off as a dick. I tried to make her feel like she was the one in power by saying she is immune now and Eliza likely wins the duel, and the merge will be soon and she probably won't even go to another tribal and yadda yadda yadda. My goal was to essentially get a feel of how she felt about Eliza leaving Genji, which she seemed not to bothered by, and what her plans are come merge. Now she is really really worried she won't make merge. I think she will because merge will come early. And then I m afraid she will want to go back to old Fuji. But what I am going to try and do is make her feel comfortable with me. And I got a "watch your back" promise from her at the merge. It's a start. I honestly don't know if I will be able to work with her. And I will be a little sad if she gets axed before jury. But *shrug* such is the game. The mildly interesting thing that happened just as I was finishing up my chat with PG, where I had all but thrown JFP under the bus, Fairplay mssages me with this little nugget

Johnny Fairplay
Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to talk to her, tell her "Hey man, I've been a dick to you and I understand and apologize for that. I'm sure you're like me and you want to at least make the jury. If you are willing to work with me and Rob, we can ensure that all of us at least make jury. After that, we can stick together, you can go off and do your own thing, just as long as you work with us these next few rounds."
See how she responds.
I had to think fast and said something to the effect of she will throw us under the bus with Corinne and Abi. I think I defused the situation and ensured Jon and PG don't talk about working together. I don't really know where this will lead but for now I think I am in a decent spot. I believe to have made some inroads with PG and started building a trust there. I have my side deal with JFP still semi-concealed and my #1 alliance with Corinne still very much undetected.
My goal is to reconnect with Nate and make sure everything is good on that end. And try to gauge where Coach stands. That is gonna be key.
