Episode 4: A Lost Cause

[Eddie]

I just typed out a whole big fucking thing and I pressed a button on my keyboard which essentially went back to the previous page and lost everything fuck.....

Sparknotes version which I can elaborate later:

• Fuck the merge, fuck
• We have to flip or divide Tane, Vahine is staying loyal but I'm worried about Danielle/Sarah
  
• Pete is relieved and wants to work with me but worried he'll get picked off at F7 in a Vahine alliance, likes Matty
  
• Matty and I talk and he wants a F3 with Pete where we'll screw over the Sex Ed girls later
  
• I type an offer to Pete RIGHT as he goes to bed and doesn't see it, waiting til morning for an answer
  
• Max has an elitist view of Tane, puts himself near the top, and knows they're not sticking together. Clearly in an alliance over there and probably wants to pull me in once I get desperate
• Finally got to talk to Alexis and she's super nice
  

I need Pete to come over and vote with us. I can easily see myself being one of the first to go from Vahine this round since I got that bad rap from the Stephen thing.

This episode was a lost cause from the start so I'm not even gonna take the time to elaborate but you guys pretty much got the picture.

Some additional stuff:
Pete wanted to add Max to our alliance with Matty which made it clear to me just how big Max's influence was right now. He's been hovering around me and Pete for a while and he never mentioned being cool with anyone on Vahine but me. More on that next episode, moral of the story is that Max is threat number 1 in my book. Eventually it became clear Pete was gonna stick with his tribe on this one and Darrah went out, not a huge hit for me strategically but it hurts.

I think Katie promised one of the girls she'd flip and then didn't so that kinda rubbed us all the wrong way. Ok off to an actual confessional during round 5!
