Jenya almost deserves a whole confessional to herself. She has no idea how much I suspect her right now. I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with Jaya.
So what she's basically gone and done is to make herself a "protector" role. That sounds suspiciously like a certain "Wheel of Fortune" role... and Spies enthusiasts will know that that was the role I, as spy Tyson in Spies 2, claimed and used as an excuse to get right to the final three.
I'm trying to come up with something she's definitely done as a citizen, and apart from the obvious fact that she was on the Alma lynch wagon, I really can't see very much... my gut has always said citizen, but it's PMs like the first one in the PM thread that make me doubt her.
95% of the time, when someone disagrees with me in a Spies game, it either because I'm wrong, or because they're a spy. So what does that say about Jenya?

Levi is, unsurprisingly, supporting Jenya's theory about Yvette. Whether that makes Jenya a spy or not is debatable, but I certainly think she's the most likely of the Alma votors to be one. If there were three spies in that group, one of them would've had to vote Alma.
I think the theory is pretty far-fetched, and right now I'm leaning Citizen for Yvette. I'm leaning spy for Levi, but I'm hoping he thinks he's got me gulled. I said I had his back last exile, and I meant it. If he's a citizen, I want him around to support me. And if he's a spy, there's no harm in letting him think he can talk more openly to me than to other people because he's got me fooled. Maybe he'll let something slip about who his partners really are.
One of the worst parts of an alias game is that you can't talk openly about shared interests like - for example - "The Mole". I'd love to give him some advice about programs to use for quizzes and the like, but I really can't because if he doesn't already know who I am (and let's face it, my entire alias' persona is basically me with more eating and less punctuation) this would tip him off if he's read any recent Mole games. (I'm a frequent contributor to the scene even when I'm not playing in these games as a commentator, judge, etc.) I had LOADS of great programs and stuff lined up for my own Mole game, which never got started unfortunately, and I'm sure I could help him out a lot. Unfortunately I can't do it as this alias, which kinda sucks.

Based purely on conversations I've just had with Kirsten, Faith and Roxy (three people I haven't had a chance to speak to one-on-one before) my top suspects would be: Levi, Amelia, Iris and Ed.
I'm going to make a proper analysis of the votes and what people have said to me in chats and in the burg. It should be possible to get five most likely suspects at this point, I think.

From the burg: "Two penalty self-votes for Levi" He is sooooo humped this exile.  |

Just for the record: I wasn't joking about sucking at checkers. Put me behind a poker table any time, but checkers (or draughts as it's called over here) I am the easiest mark ever. I just constantly miss really obvious stuff that other people pick up.
Boris and Kirsten really seem smart when it comes to this kind of stuff, which is good to know. Boris in particular I thought might be a suspect, so this makes him look that much more innocent.

Also, Boris is hilarious.

"Felix will come up with a celebrity. The rest of you will ask 20 questions to find out the name of the celebrity."
OH FUCK.
Well this is the one challenge that could be worse for me than checkers... celebrity knowledge!

You know those people who really really hate to use the phrase "I told you so"? Well I'm not one of them. I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Where do I stand on Yvette / Levi? I'm confused. I think one is probably a spy, and the other probably isn't. Which one, I'm not sure, there's lots of evidence against both of them. The thing that worries me about the Yvette case is that so much of the evidence of her seems "natural" stuff to apply to an outspoken citizen - OF COURSE there's going to be more evidence against someone who's posted fifty posts than someone who's posted three! It doesn't mean that it's right.
Nonetheless, Yvette going will make it fairly clear whether or not Levi is a spy too. And on that note, I'm tempted to vote for her.
On the question of the Jaya latecomers - I hadn't thought of it like Jason had, but he's right. They might not have switched late because they were citizens trying to force the exile one way, but because one or more were spies eager to jump on the bandwagon now their compatriot was definitely going.
I'm like Tiberius, I'm looking for definite evidence that Yvette is a citizen, and I can't find it... sorry for previous Spies game reference here, Sam, but she reminds me so much of a more easygoing version of Bev from Spies 4, in much the same way that Alma reminded me of Angelica from the same season...

Note to self: I am genuinely disturbed by how far up Jason's ass I was residing (metaphorically speaking) this entire time. I was questioning Levi and Jenya and Yvette... but never him. (Well, not until the next episode anyway.) Grrr!

; D Jason was a fan of people residing up his ass.
...In a non-weird way, naturally.

Rounds three and four were odd because I had suspicions of a lot of people without too much to choose between them. Jason wasn't on my radar yet, Pete was completely off it the entire game, and Amelia and Iris were fairly big suspects of mine but jointly with other people (like Faith and Khaled) so I couldn't choose between them. The person I was most certain about (Levi) was wrong. I didn't really agree with Kirsten's Donald case at all, and I felt as though all the obvious spies were gone leaving the ones who'd be hard to pick still in the game. This episode was NOT a good one for me.  |

You know you don't have to worry about aliases now, right?
