Pemba is going to tribal in this very short round, so this post is going to relate to the vote and chaos behind it all.
As soon as it was announced that Pemba was going to tribal, the majority alliance of 5 (The Fineapples: Ben/Kelsey/Gleason/Hannah/Robbie) had a call to control their plan. What the plan was is to have Maddie and Austin roped in to two different ideas. Tell Maddie to vote Hannah. Tell Austin to vote Maddie. The actual plan is for everyone to vote Maddie, hopefully convincing Austin that they gave him good information to work with them in the future. They're convinced Austin is the route to go, as far as who they can get to work with them in the future.
Austin and Maddie end up chatting while the Fineapples are deciding this and find out very quickly they're both being lead by this group of 5. Their plan is to pull in Hannah, since she's perceived to be the lowest on the totem pole of that alliance. They bring Hannah into a group chat, and Hannah is very transparent with them. She tells them everything the Fineapples are planning and that they should try to fuck up their plan. Hannah confirms that Maddie is the vote. Austin floats that since Ben knows Melody and Leanna on the other tribe, and that he has alliances with everyone in the tribe, that he should be the target and that information alone should be enough to flip someone. Hannah suggests they try to flip Robbie. I find out she suggests this later because Hannah clued in Robbie into this group call just before it happened. Their plan is to call Robbie 15 minutes before tribal and flip him to vote Ben.
Hannah and Robbie get on call right after that and Hannah lays out the entire plan that Maddie and Austin have planned. They agree that Ben is playing a lot of people, but that it would kill their game if they get Ben out. It makes a lot of sense. Robbie/Hannah would lose Kelsey/Gleason and would be stuck working with Austin and Maddie, which is the devil they don't know. Their plan is for Robbie to be on the fence when he's approached before tribal and vote Maddie out.
Even though Hannah/Maddie/Austin all agreed to go to Robbie 15 minutes before tribal, Austin goes rogu calls Robbie and tells him everything. Robbie plays it straight. Says "I think it's too soon to vote out Ben right now" and gives him his concerns. I think Robbie wins some points here telling him the truth. Robbie and Hannah meet up again and plan out exactly how they're going to placate Austin/Maddie, while managing the fact that Austin could run to Ben with this information to make them look like they were considering cutting him.
I have live confessionals with Hannah, Robbie and Maddie. Robbie and Hannah both confirm that they are working with each other and they trust each other the most. As of last night, it looks like they will continue to slowly talk with Austin/Maddie and give the impression that they might work with them.
Cut to this morning. Austin and Maddie find out, after doing some digging around in their other tribe chats, that Hannah is not trying to work with them, like she has been pretending. Austin goes to Ben and confirms the rumors that he's been "hearing" that Ben knows people (names mentioned: Leanna, Melody and Gleason). Ben has been walking back all explanations that he doesn't know ANYONE from the game and that anything is pure coincidental if they are in the same groups on Facebook. Just a side note, if/when Ben gets swapped and either Melody or Leanna can confirm they know Ben well, he's most likely the next to go with his allies with this overselling.
Austin and Maddie now realize that they need a different route and Robbie/Hannah is a bust. Their plan is to get Ben paranoid enough about Robbie and Hannah even considering voting for him (Hannah said she would write his name down and Robbie said he WOULD just not this round). They want to pull in Kelsey as the 4th for the vote, because they keep hearing that Ben and Kelsey have alliances with everyone... which is mostly true.
I honestly think that Ben will entertain their argument, but will stick with the 5. The only thing that might change is the 5's vote. Austin is proving to be more of a threat, since he is the one putting in so much work to flip a vote. Both Robbie and Ben have mentioned that Austin is convincing and is slowly becoming a bigger threat. So, sadly, all of this movement might just make the vote flip from Maddie to Austin. Although, if things are chaotic and confusing enough, there is a possibility of some miscommunication (Gleason and Kelsey aren't around much) and the vote could get weird. Then again, we have 12 hours until tribal...
