Full Sass on Their Ass/Confessionals

Day 4
"vatanchu"

- Really? Andy's out first? That's the reason I busted my ass to win the challenge? What the fuck ever, that's one stress I don't have to worry about I guess but still it's annoying, because if there's a swap, him being in could have been helpful. Whatever.

"aguateca"

- OMFG this twist is crazy! I want to be selfish and help myself. I have a feeling the advantage is an idol clue. If I take the advantage and my tribe gets punished it could screw me over though. If I help my tribe, I think it might give us an advantage in the immunity challenge or something like that. My biggest worry is that if I help myself and Anna doesn't then I'll become target number 1 on our tribe. The fact that I'm not in any majority alliance also makes this more stressful because if I was and I was in a great position then I would have less to fear. UGH They chose the most indecisive person to go to the temple!

"vatanchu"

- Mel: ""The guys are such alphas its so annoying!!!""

Me: ""Yeah I know, it's funny too because they're all gay except Tucker who's bi and Linus is straight""

Mel: ""Oh yall have an all-guy alliance""

(me thinking: WHO THE FUCK TOLD HER WTF TUCKER IS SHADY???)

Me: ""I mean yeah but I don't really like them no more and think they're not good for my game!!!"" (I'm just trying to sit on the fence and keep Mel at arms reach to make her not come after Masc4Masc but also stick with me if she ever hears about it)

LITERALLY TWO SECONDS LATER LINUS MESSAGES ME

Linus: ""Yo, did u tell Mel about the alliance"" Me: ""SHE LITERALLY CORNERED ME I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO""

Linus: ""I Know I just admitted to it too I was so surprised""

Me: ""what the fuck""

Me to Tucker:

Me: Did Mel approach you?

Him: No

Me: I think someone told her about the all-male alliance

Him: how???

Me: *explains situation*

Him: WHY DID YOU NOT LIE AND DENY WHAT THE FUCK (this is coming from the same fake bitch who refused to lie in any situation literally like 2 days ago, what a phony fucking cunt)

Me: I-

Him: *ATTACKS ME*

Me: But...

Him: ""YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!""

Tucker and Mel can fuck off, Katherine's fat ass better get back online because I have some weeds to pick off from this group of douchebags before taking care of this inactive loser, she can strike-out in three tribals for all I care.

Linus... idk he's shady. He might be real or just be Tucker's sheep.

I know that whatever happens tho I'll have Mary and Joanna on my side with John hopefully and if anything, I'll just fully expose masc4masc and get Scott's trust. I've been playing how Tucker wants me to play this and honestly it hasn't worked so It's time to do this shit Felix style.

"vatanchu"

- I'm totally going to be the first boot from this tribe because Tucker's a disgusting piece of shit and I fucking hate him and this just kinda exposed all of that which <3 really because now I don't have to be fake to this patronizing bitch

"vatanchu"

- Our first reward challenge was to design a flag for our tribe! This is actually a great challenge for me, because even though I hadn’t expected the flag design challenge this early, I had been thinking of ideas for flags before the game even started, so I felt really good about this challenge. My design (finished product here: http://i.imgur.com/o36V9Au.png) consists of Mayan characters around the border, with two godlike figures on the left and right sides. In the middle is our tribe name, in the same font used on the logo, above it is the season’s logo, and surrounding those are our nine mangas and names. In the background, I scattered butterflies around to again connect to the logo, and to reference the main twist of this season.

All in all, I think it looked fantastic! I did feel a little bit bad though, because I might have stolen the spotlight from others, since I pretty much had sole input on the flag’s design. I tried to encourage everyone to give suggestions or make their own flags, because I didn’t want it to look like I was stealing all the thunder and stifling everyone else’s creativity. I don’t want to emerge as like a tribe leader or anything. Anyway, my flag destroyed Aguateca’s flag, 100-34! I’m really happy it worked out, otherwise I would’ve been in some deep shit, lol. The idol clue we got was useless yet again, buuuut there was one more twist~!

Introduced in the post for the reward challenge, the big, new twist for this season is the Butterfly Effect, found at the mystical Temple of Toj. At the time, we didn’t know anything at all about it, just that it could have good or bad things that would have repercussions on the game as a whole. Despite not knowing anything about it, I was seriously considering going, because twists are a lot of fun, and being a part of it would be awesome. (Plus, if I could get something good, that would be nice...)

Once the challenge results were revealed, more information about the Temple was revealed. How it worked would be that Vatanchu would pick two people, one from each tribe, and those two would then pick someone from the opposite tribe, resulting in four people, two Vatanchus and two Aguatecas, going to the Temple. What this meant was that our tribe basically had the ability to pick three of the four people going--both Aguatecas, and one Vatanchu. Besides that, we still had no clue what it could be, so we started guessing!

Felix suggested that it could be a swap, which I had also thought of, but I highly doubted it, mainly for two reasons. First, that would be ridiculously unfair this early on, because it would essentially be 7v2 and 6v2 on the tribes, which is total BS. Second, I didn’t think the hosts would do something so bad for the first time people go, since then no one would want to go any other week and we’d resort to random.org. Mel brought up that it could be a challenge, which seemed rather likely. Like, a 2v2 duel, winners get an advantage while losers get a disadvantage. That seemed like the most likely thing this twist could be, which would’ve been a lot of fun, actually!

I was still debating whether or not to go, because I didn’t want to get screwed over too much by a potential disadvantage. I ended up talking to Tucker about it, who convinced me to try and go, and so I offered myself up to go! It’s nice to get a quick break from the game, to be honest, lol! As for who we were sending on Aguateca, we decided on Anna and Michael, since, in the event it was a challenge, we determined them to be their two weakest competitors (since they had posted the least in Trololol, at least in the first thread). While I was waiting to be sent over, I was thinking about my position in the tribe, and I came to the conclusion that after this, I really need to start laying low. I posted the most out of everyone in Trololol, designed the reward challenge flag, and now I’m the first person that’s going to experience this twist. I don’t want to be seen as a big threat or a leader this early on, so as soon as I get back from the Temple, I’m going to start being more under the radar, and talking a bit less in the tribe chat. I’ll try to maybe get some mediocre/average scores in flash game challenges, but I don’t know if I want to go that far, if that would mean our tribe losing.

Anyway, Mary is chosen to go with me to Temple, so we leave the tribe for a day or so and head over! Unfortunately, it wasn’t a challenge like I was hoping, but instead a pick-from-these-two-urns thing. A bit disappointed, but I’ll manage. The two urns we had to choose from were one that would help yourself, and one that would help your tribe. Also unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to discuss our decision with anyone at the Temple, which I think is kind of stupid, because it doesn’t let us strategize about, if me and Mary both wanted to help ourselves, what we could say to deflect attention from us and make it seem like we picked the advantage for the tribe. Also, it’s going to be pretty much impossible to lie about what’s at the Temple, because others will be sent there next cycle and will just see what it is for themselves. So overall this isn’t as exciting as I was hoping. As much as I wanted to take the help yourself urn, I didn’t want to alienate myself from the tribe (gotta go UTR...), because it would most definitely be obvious that I chose the help yourself urn due to the stuff I just mentioned before. The help your tribe urn is probably an advantage in the upcoming immunity challenge, which isn’t terrible because it’ll help us win again, so I ended up choosing that urn so that there wouldn’t be any target on my back.

"vatanchu"

- Mel has been going on a rampage about there being an all boys alliance... And I mean, she's not entirely wrong. All the boys are in an alliance. Luckily we have our secret non-male weapon, in the form of Joanna. Additionally, John seems to be taking the role of leader, without wanting to, which is perfectly fine with me. The more he publicly makes decisions the more he'll be seen as a threat by the other tribe, and not me.

"vatanchu"

- I did nothing during last 2-3 days. I have my real life which is more important that a game of course. So I was busy. And it's so fucking beautiful what Mel is telling me. Boys are destroying our little aliance, they compete, tell things and they don't trust each others. Perfection. Chaos it's what I admire. And Mary want have an... alliance with me. So sweet. I have some kind of alliance with 6/8 members of my tribe... I need to get to know better Mary... It will be hard... everything to handle... I don't even know if I have to time for talking with those people. But... I can like the idea... how the situation looks. I'm tempted to make everyone more... suspicious and distrustful. Like always... a friendly, naive way of a good allie. I love survivor. How could I don't worry about the game last 2-3 days. I can't forgive it myself.

Day 5
"vatanchu"

- I only joined this game cause I am secretly in love with the host and his sidekick. The rest of the survivors pale in comparison to them.

"aguateca"

- Had to stop myself before I went full sass on their ass

"vatanchu"

- Felix has to go. It's imperative at this point.

He's paranoid, egotistical, closedminded, and above all else single-minded. Felix will do what is best for Felix in every scenario and is incapable of thinking about anyone else, so he is useless for an alliance.

I already told y'all that he told Mel about this supposed all male alliance, and when I asked him later why he did this he said it was because he thought he would be fucked later if she found out that he was lying. That he was lying. He.

He was also fearful that someone had told Mel that an all male alliance existed, so I asked him why he didn't trust us, and he responds with ""I trust all of you 100%"". Like what? Fuck out of here. If you trusted us you wouldn't have thought someone told Mel about the alliance.

I also wanted to pick his brain a bit, to see why he was so inconsistent, and found out that he's placed 2nd consecutively because he's stayed loyal with an alliance in the past and not been able to win, he thinks because he's stayed loyal, but I think it plays more into the fact that Felix is a fucking strategical mongoloid. He has no idea what he's doing alone, so he probably has to leech off of better players to get a footing in the game.

So then the problem of how to get rid of him comes up. He's great in challenges, he's in masc4masc and the majority alliance. We have an inactive. Mel is an emotional mess, wanting to quit because she feels like she is being discriminated on a sexual basis just because John didn't ask her about the stupid fucking flag.

I know I can't get him out for a while, but I'm already planting seeds to make it happen. He's said shit about most people in the game, I think that's the cost of not being able to keep anything to yourself, including Linus and John, who should and have proven to not be very difficult to turn against him. He's also said shit about Joanna, and I know Mel would be down to vote out a male as soon as possible with her feminist craze.

But we have to lose twice, and how the challenges are looking, I really don't see any likelihood in that scenario.

I like talking to Joanna and Mel, but with Mel's inability to trust men, and with Felix's inability to function like an autonomous, sane player, it's getting very difficult to either bring together an alternative alliance or group of people that I would roll with for the rest of the game, or even simply pick a side because both sides include a player that has some sort of extreme turnoff about their gameplay.

I anticipate Felix targeting me now just because he's kinda expressing his emotionally unstable gameplay to me and has kinda indicated that he doesn't trust me so I think without any other better reason I may have to vote with Mel after katherine goes so that I don't have to worry about this parasite of a player, feeding off of any momentum I can grasp in this game.

"vatanchu"

- so i uncovered the all boys alliance the other night. Felix basically handed me the information on a plate. It was actually quite funny. He called then the "gayboys alliance" apparently they are all gay bar tucker who is bi and linus who is "undisclosed". So having already talked to linus i approached him to get his thoughts on the alliance and where he stands in the grand scheme of things and their whole alliance blew up before my eyes. Apparently felix lost it big time. Tucker came creeping to joanne and myself and continues to fish for information, but i am not a dumb blonde, I am not about to let on that i know. Joanne asked him and he lied to her about it. Denying any such alliance. Its rather comical really. Not sure how much more bullshit I can take tbh but we seem to be a strong and motivated tribe. How long it lasts will be a different story. Back to work tomorrow so out of the loop for the next 5 days. Tbh that is the hardest thing about this game, I am never online at the same time as everyone else. That will probably cost me when we eventually lose and go to tribal. Oh well such is life. Time for bed.

"aguateca"

- I'm scared i'm a target tonight because I got out first...twice

Day 6
"aguateca"

- We sucked so bad at the immunity challenge, I'm so ashamed. Now we gotta go to TC and I'm scared cause I got a vote last time. Claire told me she heard the names of Cam and Grant as possible targets, so I told Cam cause we kinda are in an alliance and he has to push Grant on the block, but if the majority votes Cam, I'll vote him too.

"aguateca"

- So i'm in an alliance with half the tribe and I enjoy all 4 of the people i'm with...oh no

"vatanchu"

- So apparently, while I was gone, all hell broke loose. (To cite my sources, I’m getting all this information from Tucker and Linus.) Mel was going around to like basically everyone saying that there was an all-guys alliance. Naturally, Joanna and all the guys she approached (who, remember are all in the 6-person alliance called Why Am I Still Awake) said no, that wasn’t a thing, because of course, you’re going to lie about something like that. When she got to Felix, she said something like she thought all the guys on the tribe were being domineering and forceful. Felix remarked that we were all gay, and Mel asked how he knew that. In his state of panic, instead of taking a moment to make the rational choice and not spill the beans about an all-guys alliance, he confirmed to Mel that there was something between the guys. (He didn’t specifically reveal WAISA to her, so Mel just thinks that the guys have a 5-person alliance.) Apparently, he thought that someone had tipped her off about an all-guys alliance, and so he admitted to it.

I’m kind of speechless at how stupid of a “move” this was. Why the hell would you even say that to her? Why do you just automatically assume someone ratted the alliance out? Even if you do assume it, again, why the hell would you say that to her? Like, there’s zero rational behind it. Zero. There’s no logical way to defend doing something like this. I’ll get back to Felix in a bit, but also Mel! Linus told me that she specifically mentioned that Tucker, Scott, and I were trying to be alpha or whatever by ignoring her when we were talking about what the Temple twist could entail before I left. There’s just a slight problem with that, I was literally engaging with her in the conversation like the whole time. Like, responding to her comments, having a discussion about what she’s thinking, etc. I don’t know where the hell she’s getting this idea that I’m trying to act alpha or domineering or whatever. I’m also pretty annoyed that she’s going behind by back and telling these lies about me. If she has a problem with something, then she should come to me first and ask me about it, not go around spreading shit. So yeah, screw her.

Anyway, back to Felix. Apparently Felix and Tucker absolutely despise each other now. Tucker had a long and intense conversation with Felix regarding his actions, in which he asked Felix why he would tell Mel about an alliance, and if he really trusted us. Felix said that he 100% trusts us, which is BS, because otherwise you wouldn’t’ve automatically assumed that one of us told her. He also said that, in Tucker’s words, he’ll be loyal to people who are loyal to him, but won’t be tied down by any of his alliances. Okay, huge red flag. Instantly, once Tucker said this, I went from trusting Felix totally in this game to not trusting him at all. If he’s not going to stay loyal to the alliances that want to keep him safe, then I see no reason for me to stay loyal to him. Felix then brought up some points about the jury, and that he would betray his allies if it meant getting him a better jury résumé. This is pretty insane, because it was Day 5 when he said this. It’s Day 5, and he’s already worrying about jury. He has other things to worry about now, like whether or not he’ll actually even make it to jury.

Overall, it seems as if Felix is a very volatile player, and plays more with his emotions than anything else. I’m not sure if he’s able to distinguish personal feelings from gameplay, which is a major concern, because I don’t do well with emotional players. Plus, I have noticed Felix doubting a lot of ideas we’ve had, such as adding Linus to WAISA, which shows that he’s rather paranoid and willing to make reckless moves (since he had suggested we tell the old 5-person alliance about Masc4Masc and Masc4Masc about the old 5-person alliance, which is absolutely ridiculous). I’m incredibly concerned about Felix now, and to be honest I would like to get rid of him soon, but there are a few problems with that. First, Katherine hasn’t showed up at all (which is incredibly frustrating), and Mel is going crazy over everything, so both of them really need to go soon as well. Second, it’s going to be pretty difficult to get the votes together for that, since we don’t really know who would be on board with it. Third, we’ll likely swap at 14, so it’s going to be difficult to get rid of him so quickly before that happens. But, after these events, I am more than willing to get Felix out soon, especially if he continues to stir up more drama and leak more information. It’s Day 6, I really don’t need this right now.

Anyway, the second immunity challenge was a 24-hour live trivia comp! If you got a question right, you would eliminate someone from the other tribe, and whichever tribe was left standing wins. I’ve never gotten to participate in one of these, so I was very excited. I love trivia so this was going to be fun for me. The theme was US Survivor trivia, so, while I didn’t know a bunch about that off the top of my head, Google and the Survivor Wiki became my best friends for a while. My advantage from the Temple was the Second Chance, which let me immediately bring someone back into the game if they were eliminated. Mary also got this advantage, so we basically had two extra lives in addition to the eight we already had.

The challenge starts, and one thing becomes immediately evident--there is a 99.99999% chance that there’s an all-girls alliance on Aguateca. I don’t think it could be more obvious. All the girls are joking around with each other, and after the first question when I voted to eliminate Claire, Anna instantly used her Second Chance without any hesitation to save her. It makes total sense too, because the guy-to-girl ratio over there is only 4:5, so an all-girls alliance is an easy majority alliance. What was also pretty hilarious was how much Tucker was hitting it off with the girls! I’m predicting it now, he’ll get into a showmance by the end of the season, lmao.

Anyway, the competition goes on and I do extremely well! In total, nine questions were asked, and I got four of them. I know I said I would start playing more UTR, but I really wanted to win this challenge for the tribe. I hope I’m not being seen as a huge threat on Aguateca now though, because if I get in trouble because of a swap, I don’t want to be the first to go. That would be incredibly frustrating. Anyway, we destroyed this competition, like it wasn’t even close. We got every single question right, and thus eliminated all of Aguateca before any of us were even eliminated. That’s an awesome feeling, and I’m hoping our tribe’s challenge dominance continues so we can win the reward and (more importantly) immunity challenge.

"aguateca"

- it's like making a deal with the devil do you keep him in cause you may need him or do you cut him before it's too late

"aguateca"

- This tribe gets along so well and there's no conflict! It's disgusting! I LIVE FOR DRAMA! I mean, I live to start it and watch it from the sidelines munching on popcorn and sipping martinis. I made an alliance between Claire and Christine so far that I plan to stay loyal to for the mean time. Cameron seems to be the target at this vote for sending everyone basically the same messages, but I've gotten along well with him and it'll be a bit sad to see him go. I find him a bit sketchy, but I do like him a lot. I've told everyone that the majority is voting Cameron and that i'm going along with the majority, but I think I'll create some chaos. I'll vote Grant out and then try to blame it on someone else if asked. I doubt anyone will think I voted him because I told them all how I was voting beforehand. Paranoia and distrust help me sleep at night.

"aguateca"

- This has been a horrible episode 2 for me. My fear from last week came true - my tribemates connected the dots and exposed holes in my social game. Our tribe has Ulong vibes being unable to win. I think I"m on the way out, but I hope I can be saved. As a rookie, I've made some glaring mistakes this game that I hope I can change; this is Survivor though, once you realize your mistakes, it is too late. I'm appreciative of this opportunity and I hope I can play again - I went against my own strategy of remaining under-the-radar because paranoia set in. There's so much I would do differently, but I will live with my decisions. Thanks for everything!
