All according to plan. Jason making sure the enemy team is mostly against each other, have a few on the other team think greatly of him, secure his place on his team and have a majority of the players on his side so he can control the votes in the present and later in game. Jason is truly a master plotter!! XD
Looking forward to Gwen and Jason interactions and searching for the diary.
The vote was very much "You with me or against me?" type of thing. Just happens Leshwana didn't have enough support, Heather did and Trent most likely didn't pick a side because conflict of interest. On the down side Leshwana was one of the Gophers better players in challenges.
Now that Jason knows that Heather and Lindsay are in a alliance he finally knows why Lindsay is still in the game even though she stinks in challenges. Will this make him start thinking about the importance of player votes and who is with who? Hmm Jason at some point just gonna mention the alliance in front of everyone(another plot!!)? People knowing means if people want Heather or Lindsay gone they know they need votes to get them out.
Yes, everything is going exactly as planned... there is no happenstance or coincidence here... it's all been preordained... *cough*
Me too. Now that I've had time to mull things over, I've got some plans for that in the next chapter. Hell, I've even thought out how it's going to be found... though I'm not yet 100% decided on
when it'll happen.
Yes to everything.
Oh, yeah. That had been bugging him for some time, so finally finding out that she, Heather and up until recently Beth were all in an alliance connected more than a few dots in his head. He will definitely take action.
Honestly I have trouble seeing Heather make it more than another elimination or two. She's got an enemy on her own team in Beth and in the OTL she barely survived this challenge only due to convincing everybody else Cody was injured and thus a liability.
I do wonder if the cursed idol and the hunt for the diary are going to cross some wires, it seems likely to me that with Jason adding his talents to the search, either he or Gwen will happen upon the idol quickly.
Yeah, I haven't re-watched far enough ahead (hell, I still haven't watched episode 10!) to see it exactly, but I vaguely recall there being an episode or two where I thought
"how the hell did she not get voted off??" and frankly, I couldn't find a reason except the writers wanted to keep her in. And for good reason, given how much she mattered to the plot later on, but they could have done a better job of justifying it in-story, in my opinion. As for how long she'll last in this story, I have no idea, since I try to take things one episode at a time. It will definitely get trickier and trickier for her, though, as she focuses more attention on Jason rather than her own team.
Oh, they will. As I mentioned above, I will add some stuff with the diary search in the next chapter, and there is even a chance (if slim) that the diary will end up being found quickly... the latter involving Beth's "lucky charm".
Heather has a chance of making it. For it to happen she needs to get rid of people like Beth along with Owen and have the majority of the votes on her team. With Gwen and Trent not talking that makes it difficult to go against Heather . Trent is kinda hesitant to vote Heather because of helping him with the quicksand and her having a better reputation at this time than canon(if she actually read the diary she most likely be gone right now).
For them finding the idol? I kinda doubt it because it seems like Beth likes to keep it with her as a good luck charm. Sorta like a rabbits foot or a four leaf clover. Maybe Gwen and Jason will 'accidentally' find Gwen's diary with Beth stuff(curse and Heather trying to get rid of her)?
Yeah, it's important to remember Heather is less hated in this story, due to not having used the diary to get at Gwen back during the talent contest. Right now her position is precarious, though, due to Gwen actively disliking her and Beth outright hating her. If Heather hadn't managed to get Leshawna voted off she would almost certainly have gotten voted off herself either in the last chapter or the next time they fail a challenge.
Yeah, most of the canon scenes with Beth and the idol seem to imply she carries it around with her in her pocket (somehow... I'll just chalk it up to cartoon physics. Either that or she's got magic pants) rather than just leaving it in the cabin or anywhere else. But yes, finding the diary will involve Beth's curse, but I won't mention any details at this juncture. It will likely happen in either chapter 10 or 11, though, or at the absolute latest in chapter 12.
Oh, I see. That bit completely slipped my mind because I didn't see how anyone would have a problem with it. So there we go!
Good stuff.
Hey, if that's how you saw it, then that just means I was worrying for nothing, as I am wont to do.
Thanks!
