Post number ninteen, thats what this one is. 19! You have no idea how badly I want to make it to number twenty. Just like everyone else. I want to make it to the final four (and technically final three) and like everyone else, I think its me. There is either a 1 in 3 chance or a 1 in 4 chance that I am going this round and man does it scare me. Brian thinks he doesnt know who it is, Jill has a fairly good idea, Elise is pretty much dead certain....and, in the nicest way possible, I think I am deluded. I *think* I know who it is, but....I could have just been lucky thus far. and be completly wrong.
Before getting on to the depressing stuff, lets first talk about the challenges....oh no wait, sorry....
Anyways....
The first challenge was just terrible. I knew a challenge was coming up like this, in fact I predicted it on this very blog, but still knowing it will happen, and actually seeing it happen is something completly different. Paying ten dollars, and in Blaises case, twenty to get an exemption, wow, only for a truely hard core backstabber. Our pot is looking very pathetic, and its not funny.
Whichever players make it through this execution, even if it is Elise and not me (which obviously in my opinion is the worst outcome :P) I will whole heartedly congratulate. Obviously if Im gone I cannot do it straight away but I will at the reunion. Well done for making it to the f4, without needing to drain ten dollars out of the pot (obviously Blaise will not recieve the same type of congratulations but ah wells :P)
The second challenge was just terrible. I knew a challenge was coming up like this, but I wont reveal how I knew :P That can wait. But I knew, I didnt know exactly but I guessed to within a very accurate degree. That being said, yes I could have performed much better in my part, ideally I would have liked to have been the animator or the actor, but, unfortunately I just was not able to do it, from the a practical or technological point of view. Some peoples excuses though about the email thing is a load of rubbish and lies that can seen through....why? You could have used a site to upload any type of file you require and then provided the link for us on the forum, alternatively you could have sent things through PM etc. There are other things that you could have done, and dont say you couldnt have thought of them, hosting sites are very popular....
So then people, especially say Brian, I want to give you hope, and a lot of it. My odds of being eliminated this round, form my point of view are 3/4 not 1/4. I plan to go all out on one player this round, if I'm right, yay. If I'm wrong, I wish you guys all the best, you obviously deserve to be in the game more then I do.

Reaction to Execution #6
Breaux. You had to go and get yourself executed didnt you? I bet you did it to spite me :P
Only joking of course but grrrr yet another person that I knew wasn't the mole is gone and I am left with an open book of suspects. Actually, I tell a lie, on the quiz I put a very large number of questions on one person and I am still here. Unless Breaux got it completly completly wrong, then....I think I might be onto someone. I know a few of you are probably already on the right track, but, let me have my moment here :P
Breaux you added money into the pot, you were a great team player, you helped keep morale up, all in all, you were (at least in my opinion) one of the most important cogs in our (albeit poor) money making machine and the mole is laughing right about now. Well played, I applaud you :D
So yeah, this quiz does tell me a bit, either everyone is on the wrong track, or I lucked out, or I am onto the mole...one in three chance I guess :P.

Public Confessional 6
I wanted to let you know, that I decided for the subname of this confessional to be Money Money :P
Six people, one of whom is a mole. One of whom knew both of these challenges, and their answers and how to sabotage the games. We won, as a team, quite a bit of money, true my contribution towards the very end of the second one needs apologising for, I feel my performance and that of the entire teams was one of the best the entire game.
I'm not some power struggling guy, I will willingly follow the directions of any player that wants to take charge. I am glad that Brian just sorted us out there and then and we had a plan going into the Bingo challenge. I feel that is why we won those two dollars.
As for the box challenge I found it interesting. We all speculated and such, lets admit it, we all thought there was an exemption in play, and it seemed small in having 25 cents or an exemption. When it was opened and we tripled our money....its like....yay :D
Lastly we have the luck challenge. The challenge that nobody could possibly know how to win on and Travis seems to think is fair to say is worth a fifth of our entire challenge prize money. Luck is luck is luck, and it was nasty that we had to see twenty dollars go down the pee hole. Elise, tell me what the hell you were thinking? I am going to look at it from a third persons point of view. Someone came up with a way to make almost two dollars guarenteed, but, you didnt like that person. You decided to spite them and do the babyish thing and follow along blaming them for your imminent mistake. Not only that you had an alternative. You didnt have to bet. If you didnt want to follow along with someone elses idea, thats fine, they didnt ask you to, it was just a suggestion, however you had another option, not bet anything and get almost a dollar.
Now after that, I feel like it is almost ugly and hypocritic in what I want to apologise for. I want to explain my double money issue. Yes I forgot you couldn't use money as a clue. Someone incorrectly answered paperwork to that and I decided to move onto the next clue. This time it was paperwork and I couldnt think of a clue, so instead I thought by repeating the last clue someone would tweak on and say paperwork again. It just so happens I forgot that you cannot say money and that lead to me looking both mole like and a complete retard. We could have made seven if it wasn't for that, and thats a dollar down to which I apologise.
