DAY 16 - One to many Clues

 -DAY 15

BELAU TRIBE

KATE'S POINT OF VIEW:

Who would have thought, Mora had an idol.

This is going to be the most awkward vibe around camp, because Erika, Bennett and I all voted with Tom to get Mora out of the game. Little did we know, she had an idol. It didn't even occur to me, not a thought it my entire being would have thought she had an idol.

I mean, I'm pretty impressed actually. She kept it real quiet so she did well. It is just pretty crap that she had to play it against us.

The reason we voted for Mora was because we feel she had more ties in the other tribe. If we made merge, she will reconnect with people from her previous tribe. Everyone hated Tom, so he would be an extra vote that would follow us. Well that is what we thought. But that's over now.

A part of me wants to throw the next challenge just so we can get her out and the danger of Mora doesn't stick around.

I think the unanimous vote for Tom was pretty obvious to everyone. I was not voting for Erika at all and neither was Bennett. Even Jonathan, who voted for Erika in the first set of votes, but gave up and just voted for Tom the second round.

It is partly sad to see Tom go, only because we could used to his vote when it comes to merge. Hopefully now we can stick tight with Jonathan, because we are pretty sure Mora might flip.

JONATHAN'S POINT OF VIEW:

What a blowout. Mora's idol completely shocked me. I was beyond amazed. The worst thing was that not a single person except for me voted for Erika. Tom gave me his word and said he would do it. So that is karma that he got sent home. Bennett simply lied to my face, although he never said anything. I guess I might have been kind of foolish putting my trust in a wink and smile.

But seeings I was the only person who voted for Erika, I got to cover my ass and lie to these people so they don't vote me off next and target Mora. Because when it comes to merge, I think I can trust these people. If I pull Kyle back over and stick with these three, that is five right there.

"Big night!" Bennett says, stretching his arms above his head

"Oh yea, man. That idol though, no one saw that coming, hey" I say to Bennett.

"No way. I felt sick when she handed that up" he replies

Kate and Erika walk over to the two of us. Both a little sour about me voting for Erika. But I am going to lie my way through this one.

"I can't believe Tom voted for you Erika" I lie, very convincingly, acting blown away

"I thought you voted for me?" Erika seems confused

"No way! Tom was trying to get me and Bennett to vote with him to get you out" I say, trying to hide my lie

"Why would he come to us and ask us to vote Mora?" Erika asks

"Well because Mora was going to vote for him, and if you guys voted for him as well, he would have gone. He needed to stray your votes. But I pulled out and voted with you guys" I tell the three of them

"How come you asked me to vote for Erika then?" questions Bennett

"Because Tom made me, he was watching me like a hawk. That's why I asked you at last minute and very unconvincingly" I say desperately

"Wow!" Kate says, "he tried to get us off and we fell for it. If it weren't for Mora's idol we could be in deep crap"

I have to make sure Mora doesn't hear of this lie I told, because she knows the truth. She knows it was me that was pulling to get Erika out. I just hope neither of the three tell Mora.
