I dunno what I should really say here. Not much has happened, but I still feel like I need to check in. I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my position right now. I've had long, good talks with TQ, Bryan, and Cody. I have gotten pretty close to both Bryan and Cody, and I think I'm in a good place with both of them for sure. I'd say that Bryan is my closest ally in the game right now.
I have really been trying to talk to Dave and Sassy, but they are both impossible to talk to. I'm not sure if it's just that they don't want to talk to me, or if they just suck socially. With both of them, our convo usually ends with me asking a question and them never responding. I'd like to get to know them because I know that it will probably be important later on in the game. I'm more concerned about getting to know Dave than Sassy because Sassy will be our boot should we lose. I hate this Peso twist though, because I will never feel safe at a tribal because of it. I suppose we could always split the vote between Dave and Sassy, but that burns a bridge with one of them.
I'm not sure what else to say, this has been a pretty low key round. Me sitting out this challenge will probably reaffirm that I will be Sassy and Dave's target, but I'm really not all that concerned about that.
I guess I can do the questions now, as well.
Confessional Questions #1:
1. What were your thoughts on Jermin being voted out of La Arana?
2. How has the group dynamic changed since the last Immunity Challenge/Tribal Council
The alliance between the four people that know how to post images and use AIM has been solidified. Davey has been found out, and is now powerless.
3. You guys arrive in the game to be divided into three tribes, what was your initial reaction? How do you feel about it at this point and how do you see it playing out?
It'll probably be like most other three tribe games. At a certain point, we will go down to two tribes. This is when social skills are extra important.
4. How does knowing about the partners twist and how two people are connected help you for your strategy?
I mean, seeing as I am not 'connected' to anyone, the twist should probably hurt me, but I really don't think it's going to have that big of an impact on the game.
5. The Hidden Immunity Idol has the potential to be bought every round at Tribal Council, how does this change your voting tactics?
Ugh, it means there will be a lot of split votes this game because nobody will ever be safe.
6. On a scale of 1 - 5, rank your tribe mates.
Not sure if 1 or 5 is best, but I'll go with 1 being best.
1. Bryan
2. Cody
3. TQ
4. Davey?
5. Sassy
The last two are a toss up because they both fucking suck.
7. Where do you stand in terms of alliances? Who are you with, who do you trust most, who are you excluding etc.
I answered this above, but my alliance is Bryan, Cody, and TQ. I trust Bryan the most. Sassy is being excluded, and we are all trying to make Davey feel comfortable by maintaing our 'alliances' with him.
8. What is your next objective in this game moving forward?
Um, I dunno. Keep on winning?
