The King of Complaining/Confessionals

Day 4
"giovane"

- It really says something about the calibre of my tribemate's social game (very rich coming from me, but hear me out) when BASTY is the one who I've talked to the most / mildly connected with.

I came into this game itching to ramp-up my social outreach and actually ~ get to know ~ more than a handful of people because it really bit me in the ass last time I played, and I kind of regretted it because I actually liked a whole bunch of people on the jury, I’d just failed to even attempt connecting with a lot of them. By then it was too late.

I feel like not getting a platform to form strong bonds because of a weird ass starting tribe is going to fuck me up later in the game. I know for a fact that there are personable people on the other tribes probably cultivating ride-or-die relationships between each other, but here I am with the driest group ever whereby people are either hardly online or horrific conversationalists.

Anyway here's the 411: Basty is blatantly saying the same strategic things to everyone / transparently shady but actually attempts to talk to you and is a friendly kid Ashley leaves you on read if you ask about anything non game related Juliet is fun but very sporadic conversationally and will throw in a conversation ender at a moments notice I have a lot in common with Andrea and she is pretty cool but something is OFF and she’s quite short with me. I have a feeling I might be in her sights, which is terrible if my read on the alliances is wrong

At this stage it appears to be that I have majority with Juliet and Ashley, but honestly everyone talks so rarely that its hard to tell if they’re just not talking to ME and are actually all in cahoots without me, or they’re just that horrendous socially

"vicino"

- Hope was eliminated at the first tribal council and I'm not very surprised. She was nice but sometimes it was a bit hard to talk to her and I found the conversation stopped quite quickly, but I hope she does well in her future career in cooking haha. Though I am worried that old Giovane could be seriously down in numbers if tribal lines stay solid.

The reward challenge is an online game called Constellations. I didn't know what a good score was so I kept going while searching the website for previous scores and I found out the score I was on (about 52 million) was a very good score for the challenge. I stopped at once because I don't want to be seen as a challenge threat because they are eliminated after the merge and I want to survive longer than that. It looks like I will be quite good at the challenges and if I can keep that hidden for as long as I possibly can then it will only serve me well. I can score anything below 52 million, or above if I need to, and balance the other scores of the tribe so that I'm the 2nd best on the tribe, a benefit to keep around for challenges but not so high that I'm a big threat. I took a screenshot to show my 52 million, https://i.imgur.com/EUb0VHM.jpg, but I don't think I will need it.

"pesante"

- So a shit show has happened since i last saw you. We lost, which sucked and honestly I could have been first boot which would have been awful. Thankfully im on a beach with a bunch of meninists who decided instead to take out the only girl. I had to vote Hope too but honestly, it was for the best. If i had voted jerry with her it would have been 3-2 and all it would have done is solidify the three with me on the outs. This way, I have been making an incredible strong connection with Marty, who says he will tie it for me if needed if we go to tribal again. Also Trey is someone who ive gotten close with as well. Im showing myself to be a huge asset in challenges, and honestly just let them try to vote me out. Ill pull an ozzy, be like oh boy wouldnt you sure love to win some challenges? be a little passive agressive shit. Im gonna have fun with it.

"giovane"

- So I'm back! Ashley just asked me if I wanted to work with him if Giovane go to TC soon. I can tell you right now: the answer is no! You already openly insulted me in the chat, and you think we are allies? I nearly spoke to you. You're the king of complaining, so I only have one thing to say to you: À la guillotine! Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité! ¡Viva la revolución! Wish to only have to attend one TC with you! VL: Someone is dumb in this tribe so I need to vote him off: À la guillotine

"giovane"

- Call of Duty is lacking inspiration? They should come see Giovane, and soon we will have CoD: WWIII

"pesante"

- "So Hope is gone and we won the Reward Challenge! I love the position I'm in right now, because legitimately the only way I see myself going home right now is if it's a 2-2 tie between Jerry and Jordan and Trey decides to go to rocks. Obviously I can't get too complacent, but I like the spot I'm in. Jordan has said that Trey and Jerry have approached him and seem to be warming up to him, which is a VERY good sign. I would obviously rather keep Trey in than Jerry, but if Jerry flips first, that's fine with me. As far as Trey goes, he likes to be in control, so they only way to convince him to do what I want is to basically make him think that he’s the one making the decision, and that he’s the one dictating the plan to get rid of Jerry. He’s not gonna willingly flip unless he thinks he’s number one in the alliance between the three of us, so I need basically make him think that it was his idea to vote out Jerry, not ours. It would be tough for me to do this, which is why I wanna win Immunity today. If we lose and I can’t flip Trey, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to save Jordan.

Day 5
"lontano"

- So we have this tribe challenge about flags today and it did bring back some memories. I don't have a good record for that challenge so this is kind of redemption for me. I stepped up to make the tribe flag and I'm not sure of the result. I hope we win cause I feel like I exposed myself a lot today and I don't want to make too many waves at the beginning. I NEED those three more days out of tribal council.

"giovane"

- "So I actually quite like Sebastian, he's strategically earnest but a friendly guy - problem is he's aligned with Andrea. If my 3 is legit with Juliet and Ashley (I suspect it is) I definitely want to take out miss-never-talks-to-me-because-she-thinks-she-has-majority, without alienating Sebastian. It would actually be a pretty major blindside, despite the fact that from the outside looking in, her leaving would be the obvious boot because she's the only one from OG Pesante. I want to maintain original tribe numbers as much as possible for when I regroup with the fellas I met beforehand (if they are still down). If all comes together I'll might tell Basty whats happening relatively last minute so I don't completely obliterate our trust and essentially lose a number anyway. He'll definitely spill to Andrea, but it should be too late by then.

Our flag isn't horrendous but I could see us potentially losing still because we've been a trainwreck at everything else, so that's my plan if we go to tribal.

"giovane"

- I hope we win this challenge, because our flag is marvelous. Juliet made an awesome flag with grapes, a cup, and 5 stars to represents each of us, all having the logo in the middle and our name on the flag. If we lose, I already planned to vote Ashley out, but I do not want to be forced to do that, because he is my airbag. If he is voted out and we have another TC, I will probably be forced to vote Eli out, and I do not want that to happen, because I love Eli, and I want him to stay as long as possible. So lets hope we win this for the sake of god.

"vicino"

- I'm scared we are losing. Mais flag was ok, but I've seen better. Hopefully we win!

"pesante"

- So we won the immunity challenge, so thank you Jordan. That made it a lot easier for me cause I like Jordan a lot and would hate to have to write his name down yet, even though he considered voting me last tribal. I feel at this point in the game that Trey is by far my closest ally, but I feel like he is in the power position in our tribe at the moment. He seems closer to Marty than me, and I don't know about Jordan. I'm trying to connect with Marty, and maybe in his eyes I am, but he's not giving me shit in conversations like come on man. I'm trying but he just doesn't say much. Talking to Jordan is like talking to a piece of plywood, you can say whatever you want too it but it won't say much back. I wanna shack this up some but on a 4 person tribe it isn't possible. Let me swap so I can talk to more people, come on homies. Let's Get IT!!!
