But a day later, it’s time to write about politics. My previous writings about this race focused on the substance of the issues, the office and the qualifications of particular candidates. Bragg would be first African-American Manhattan DA in history, while Weinstein would be the first woman and the first immigrant. We don’t yet have definitive results, but the in-person vote shows Alvin Bragg ahead of Tali Farhadian Weinstein by about 7,000 votes, with at least 27,000 and as many as 59,000 absentee votes yet to be counted. Nine candidates threw their hat in the ring, and astonishingly, eight stuck it out to the end. Manhattan has never seen a district attorney election (well, primary, but let’s not quibble) like this one. Either way, she'd make it to the merge, and she would save Eliza, and she would have vengeance on this whole fucking game, or burn this island back into the ocean trying.It’s over, sort of. She sat on the log and surveyed her broken tribe, full of idiots and Tracy, as lean and bitter and hungry as she was. The vision of Eliza stayed in Ami's head as she cast Chet's vote. "He's gone, he's gone, he's gone."Īmi put her head down and paced the platform. "He's gone," she mouthed to Ami at the immunity challenge, while Eliza stood soaking wet on one platform and Ami stood on another, 20 feet away, the Pacific Ocean between them and no cameras watching. James had called them bozos for not worrying about how they sounded.įive days later, Eliza was crying. He loved Eliza more than anything They'd spent four hours arguing about law one afternoon. When they split the tribe in two, Eliza looked around, terrified, wide-eyed, at everything. It was no surprise to Ami that Eliza was there after Tribal Council, pressed into her back, trying to keep warm in the rainstorm. It was no surprise to anyone that Eliza's name was the first one floated after Fairplay's. She wondered if the guys even noticed what the women were doing. Though that did mean Amanda and Parvati paid her as much attention as possible, and Cirie hated her instantly. Already Eliza had scared the men off, and Ami had Lesbian virtually stitched to her forehead. Not when there were other skinny girls who were far more willing to put out. Everyone was too restless, or too busy thinking about their strategy, or their tongues, to give much though to two skinny girls. No one noticed that first night, or the second, how Eliza slept next to Ami, how Ami's hand held hers all night. "Because he's cute, and Jonathan will team up with him in an instant. She said, "Oh, it just became a whole 'nother game." She said, "It doesn't to me."Įliza said, "We're going to need allies."Įliza gasped. She pressed her cheek into Ami's shoulder and asked, "What if I betray you again?"Īmi turned her head, and met Eliza's wide eyes. She felt she'd reached the next layer of heaven. She didn't even miss Vanuatu, with its cannibals and its kava and its dirty politics, compared to here. The water was startlingly blue, and the sky was endless and cloudless. I respected you."Įliza inhaled and put her chin on Ami's shoulder. "Are you mad at me? For betraying you? I mean, I know what you said when we were like, civilians, but we're not anymore. "I can't believe you're here," Eliza said. The sand burned through her shorts, against her ass. She said, "I'm trying not to talk so much."Īmi nodded. "I was?" Eliza asked.Įliza smiled and settled down next to Ami. Ami looked up, into Eliza's face, silhouetted by the sun. And you're talking enough for the both of us," Ami said.Įliza's hands stilled. "You're quiet," Eliza said, running her fingers down Ami's back, searching for bumps caused by sand ticks. Right now there were too many people, and they grated. She didn't know why Eliza bothered there would be more bugs. Spoilers: Season 9 (Vanuatu), Season 16 (Half-ASS), Episodes 1-6Īmi winced as Eliza plucked a bug from her shoulder, leaving behind a pinprick of blood from fangs.
