Rob Cesternino plays "Welcome to shooting self in the foot"

[Rob Cesternino]

Womp womp. I thought I had a shot at that challenge. El. Oh. El. Siska balled out. 14 words   Mad props to him. So here we are again. Another tribal. Once again gotta face the fact that my survival is not in my hands. Sigh. Its a sad joke at this point. Feel down and out - have a good-ish conversation that fills some hope - watch someone I liked and could work with get voted out - back to square one. And repeat.

After the IC results were up, Abi messaged me saying this.

Abi

I think a move will happen this time, but no one is on tonight 

Rob Cesternino

well thats music to my ears 

but idk how much I will be on tomorrow 

I have more workload

 Abi

be around to check your PMs 

so u can make a quick vote 

i'll see what I can do 

Rob Cesternino

sure

I don't have much faith in Abi at this point. But a more interesting conversation was with my fellow floater. This is how that went.

Baylor Wilson 

hey rob! 

Rob Cesternino

hey bay 

Baylor Wilson 

wassup? 

Rob Cesternino

archer <3 

Baylor Wilson 

yasss <3 

Rob Cesternino

whatchu upto? 

Baylor Wilson 

just chilling 

and thinking 

Rob Cesternino

thinking is good 

talking is better tbh  

Baylor Wilson 

hopefully 

has PG talked to you about anything recently? 

Rob Cesternino

last thing she said was expect votes 

before last time

 Baylor Wilson 

has she said anything else? 

Rob Cesternino

nope 

why, if I may? 

Baylor Wilson 

okay promise to stay silent? 

Rob Cesternino

*zips lip* 

Baylor Wilson 

okay so i think PG has the idol 

so i want to try to blindside her at the vote 

would you be on board to join me? 

Rob Cesternino

seeing as that would mean I am not voted out 

ummm 

Baylor Wilson 

lol

i'm just hoping we can scrape together the votes 

Rob Cesternino

she has a lot of allies then? 

who want to go to F3 with her? 

Baylor Wilson 

i certainly hope not 

because everybody would be MORONS to go to the end with her honestly 

Rob Cesternino

she has a great story 

posting for 17 hours 

to get back in the game 

gotta carry a lotta weight at FTC tbh 

Baylor Wilson 

ikrrrr 

so yeah i'm HOPING there can be 5 of us voting for PG tonight 

Rob Cesternino

u mean tomorrow 

Baylor Wilson 

yah 

i say tonight because like on survivor they vote the night of the immunity chalelnge 

it's just ingrained in me lol 

Rob Cesternino

thats kinda cute  

Baylor Wilson 

haha thanks 

ugh people aren't online and it's pissing me AWF 

Rob Cesternino

oh sorry  

was distracted

 Baylor Wilson 

oh i wasn't talking about you 

Rob Cesternino

alex appears to be online 

Baylor Wilson 

i was venting to you about others 

well yah but alex is too close with pg for this 

Rob Cesternino

oh 

and siska? 

Baylor Wilson 

oh hellz no 

PG saved him last week 

i think she did it for a reason 

Rob Cesternino

for real? 

Baylor Wilson 

yeah. i tried to get everyone to vote him out 

and then PG was like NO LET'S SPLIT BETWEEN CORINNE AND ROB 

and everyone went along with her 

Rob Cesternino

why would u want siska out? 

Baylor Wilson 

did you see amber's posts in the tribe thread before tribal? 

Rob Cesternino

yeah 

they were directed towards him? 

cause I dont recall reading names 

Baylor Wilson 

Amber Brkich 

ok well Jason just said they rae splitting the votes on me and rob 

jason telling amber that people were voting her out was a move for her jury move imo 

shady and transparent 

idk i just started targetting him after that lulz 

Rob Cesternino

oops 

my bad 

I dont remember reading jason tbh 

Baylor Wilson 

no worries it was a while ago 

Rob Cesternino

plus I dont call hims jason 

so 

Baylor Wilson 

lol 

either way, yeah that round made me realize PG's the biggest threat 

Rob Cesternino

wait so u cant approach alex. u cant approach siska 

I recall PG eliza being voted closest pair 

or was that misdirection? 

Baylor Wilson 

okay so it's complicated 

you still promise to not say anything right? 

Rob Cesternino

I do 

cross my heart 

Baylor Wilson 

okay just making sure lol 

i'm telling you so much lulz

Rob Cesternino

about time I feel

 Baylor Wilson 

anyways, i think the votes can be me/you/coach/abi/eliza 

coach and abi because PG's plan was to blindside coach at f7 

Rob Cesternino

how not-so-shocking 

Baylor Wilson 

and eliza because after that challenge where they were labelled "closest pair" 

eliza came up to me and was talking about how she wanted to get rid of PG sooner rather than later 

because she didn't want to just be PG's goat and tied to her 

Rob Cesternino

reasonable point

Baylor Wilson 

she didn't like being seen as her beta or something 

idk i just know that it was like 2 days ago that eliza and i discussed voting PG out 

and PG doesn't know 

so i think eliza's trustworthy for it 

so yeah you basically know everything i know now lol 

Rob Cesternino

thats a whole lot than I have known till now 

I'll offer u something in return tho 

me and corinne tried approaching siska 

and abi 

at F9 

because we knew it would be a 4-3-2 

if both siska and abi had agreed 

Baylor Wilson 

so flipping those 2 would be enough to get the votes 

clever 

Rob Cesternino

yeah 

but sadly no dice

Baylor Wilson 

who did you want them to vote for? 

Rob Cesternino

3 guesses

Baylor Wilson 

PG?

Rob Cesternino

*ding ding* 

Baylor Wilson 

LMFAO you shoulda approached me 

i've been bitching about nobody targetting PG in confessionals for 3 weeks now 

Rob Cesternino

well sad part is, I dont have access to confessionals :-P 

Baylor Wilson 

 

i have access to all the confessionals! 

Rob Cesternino

i know. thats why u are playing a "perfect game" so far 

correct me if I am wrong, no votes yet right? 

Baylor Wilson 

uhmmmm no 

but that's becuase i went to only 2 tribals pre merge 

and at the merge i've been the least threatening target in the majority alliance lul 

if i was playing a perfect game i wouldn't be labelled "the floater" tbh 

Rob Cesternino

pretty much the same can be said about me 

I am here because there bigger fish to be fried 

*there were 

Baylor Wilson 

lol 

wait a minute... we're both the floaters lul 

Rob Cesternino

mmhmm 

we have a bond 

like no oneelse 

Baylor Wilson 

Floater Alliance <3 

Rob Cesternino

its so floatacious O:-) 

Baylor Wilson 

lmfao 

Rob Cesternino

why would abi be on board now? if she wasnt last time? does she just dislike corinne THAT much? 

 

Baylor Wilson 

1) yes lol 

2) she didn't know about PG's plan to boot abi/coach in 6th/7th respectively 

Rob Cesternino

ah 

Baylor Wilson 

i mostly think it's the corinne thing tho lol 

Rob Cesternino

btw, what if PG doesn't have the idol? 

and say siska has it? 

Baylor Wilson 

well shit idk 

i still think PG's the biggest threat in challenges/socially/strategically so it's smartest to blindside her now 

Rob Cesternino

yeah no I am not campaigning for her lol  

Baylor Wilson 

but if someone else has the idol then i have no inkling who the hell it could even be so there's not much we could do about it 

Rob Cesternino

just throwing a theory out there 

Baylor Wilson 

it's a good theory 

so you don't have it? 

Rob Cesternino

lololol 

if I had it I would have used it by now 

or maybe not *wink wink* 

lol no I dont have it  

Baylor Wilson 

lololol 

anyways i had a list of who could possibly have it 

i have to scroll up chats to find it 

Rob Cesternino

its all good 

Baylor Wilson 

well now i personally need to figure it out lul 

Rob Cesternino

oh then by all means 

go for it  

Baylor Wilson 

you/me/abi/alex/eliza don't have it. all confirmed by having other items and you telling me just now 

that leaves pg/siska/coach 

Rob Cesternino

wait 

i think coach was part of some old genji chat 

Dec 30, 2014 8:47 PM 

Dragon Slayer 

i got nothing 

of course could just be a lie 

Baylor Wilson 

it could be alie 

but according to amber (i guess i don't know if it's true) 

siska and coach BOTH bid 100 on box 9 

so both of them got no objects 

meaning that either PG got the idol or no one did 

Rob Cesternino

wait didn't jeremiah say that only box 1 was unclaimed? 

or maybe he didnt use the word only 

lemme check 

Baylor Wilson 

you're right 

Rob Cesternino

Congratulations to all box winners. You have been notified in your confessional. Tribal Council will be posted shortly. 

Box 1 was not claimed. 

well theres no only 

so still up for debate 

Baylor Wilson 

okay so let's see 

box 2 - alex 

box 3 - unknown 

Rob Cesternino

me 

box 3 me 

Baylor Wilson 

ok good 

box 4 - abi 

box 5 - me 

box 6 - eliza 

box 7 - amber 

box 8/9 unknown? 

Rob Cesternino

8 rupert

Baylor Wilson 

okay 

so if siska/coach both effed up and didn't get anything because they bid it all on box 9 

then pg has box 9 

it would all work 

Rob Cesternino

it fits 

*ding ding ding* 

u have solved the HII conundrum 

Baylor Wilson 

we* 

Rob Cesternino

thank u 8) 

I ... don't know why I felt the need to paste that entire chat  . Oh well. At this point I am just a single solitary vote for someone to use. Like a ping ping ball being slapped around till I fall off the table. SMH. I was kinda surprised that Baylor didn't know everything that had happened before the Fairplay vote with the "Outcast loser 5-some" or the F10 hail mary or the failed "Operation Cutthroat" as Corinne called with me and Corinne approaching Siska and Abi. So when Baylor said "so that's all I know lol" I felt I have to give her something. This has to be a give and take other wise she has less incentive to gamble on trusting me. Seeing as we wanted to target the person she wants to target, I thought it safest to tell her about F9. I tried to be careful in wording it though without giving away that Siska and I are also semi-tight.

Don't really know what good will come off of this. Even if this does work, that would mean my vote would have to be against PG, someone who I promised I wouldn't vote against in this game. SMH. I am a despicable underdog. There is still the part where PG and I talk. So I don't really know what will happen. I am almost certain whatever happens I am going to be shooting myself in the foot. Only question is, does that mean elimination now or later? *shrug* we shall see.

[Rob Cesternino]

So looks like that was either a hollow conversation or an attempt to curry favor with me before I get sent to the jury. Maybe Baylor just wanted to give me false hope and they will vote PG out next? Either way I cast my vote for PG already so *shrug*

Thanks again for letting me play. Adios muchachos.

COMING TO YOU non-LIVE!!!! from my apartment, this is Rob Cesternino on a special episode of Rob Has A Question. It's FTC night here in Warriors: Japan and we have our 3 finalists.

Congratulations to Abi, Byalor and Eliza for making it this far.

My question to you ladies is a simple one. I want you to give me a Jury assessment. A few lines about each juror. This could be what you think of them as a player or as a person, what you like or dislike about them or anything you'd like. Just a brief summary of your take or your read on each juror. Very open ended. You may or may not include me. I leave that choice to you. But the other 7 jurors need to be included.


And just to make sure you ladies don't get the urge to cheat off of one another, please PM me your answers. Once I have all PMs I will post it in this thread for the other jurors to see.


Wishing you all good luck and may the best woman win.
