Back to the Lying, Cheating and Stealing/Confessionals

Day 1
"bariq"

- Man it feels good to be back! Back to the fast paced survivor game I love so much! Back to the lying cheating and stealing. Although I’d be a moron to say that’s all that goes into survivor. It’s a lot of subtlety and delicacy that makes it so much fun to play. What worked last game might not work this game, and I gotta put out my feelers and adjust my game accordingly. I don’t want to flop, no one does. But this is redemption for me, I feel like I flopped in Madagascar even though I did make it far. This is my chance to show that I wasn’t just a one-time thing in Nepal, that I’m the badass chick that can still play well and still get people playing for me. Now after my little self-indulgent rant, let me get onto tribe summary! My favorite part of this game! Old School: Man my tribe is badass. Seriously, I’m being such a little fangirl about it. But I mean come on, it’s Mihai and Amir. These two have been my favorite winners since forever. Like when I saw they were announced I pretty much flipped out. I want to work with both of them, even if I don’t trust either. Skandi is known as awesome, we played in the same era together and I respect him a whole ton, but he also went first in all stars. Long story short, don’t trust him at all. Lukas, don’t trust him much either. I don’t like being manipulated, so I’ll have my guard up. Jeremy I don’t know, but he seems nice enough so far. Blaine, I’ve played with before, I kind of know how he works… I won’t trust him fully, but the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t, you know? So for now I’ll keep him in mind. And then there’s the little part of the equation named Dallas. Hey Dallas, I still have that hunting knife embedded in my back from the last time we played together. I may forgive, but I’ll never forget that for a second. I don’t trust him at all. Dallas is my friend, I’ll use that as far as it will take me, but if I get even a hint I might get screwed over, that knifes coming out of my back and going straight into his. I love him to death, but this is survivor, and I will not be screwed over the same way again. Middle School: Middle school seems tough. Tyler R. I’ve heard is a great player, never really played with him, or even talked to him much, but I know to watch my back. Yap I don’t know, but if he’s on here he has to have done something right, so I’ll watch him. Kevin… To put this bluntly, it’s very hard to be afraid of a guy who compares himself to Rupert. Jessy I’m not super afraid of, but it’s more because I haven’t heard much about her. I think Cali was the loud girl? I don’t know. Joan is cool, I like him, but from what I can remember he’s a little snake in the grass who I don’t trust. But like with Blaine, he’s a devil I know. Taylor Ukmar I’m just not going to touch that guy with a ten foot pole. He seems like disaster. There’s one I’m missing… Oh right, Sam. My best friend from Madagascar. There’s defos some bad blood there, I don’t like her, and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t like me. I’m not going to get into details here, I have a feeling they will come about naturally as the season progresses, but I got a big old target on her forehead. Sooner she’s out, the better. New School: I’m not going to lie, I barely know any of these people. Molly is Sam’s friend I think so probs won’t be working with her. Amelia I’ve heard is good too. Ricky I know, he’s cool, I could see myself working with him a little bit. Tom seems nice. Amber I don’t know, Jesper I don’t know… Jamie I do like a lot. She’s nice, and we’ve been compared to each other a bit. I can defos see myself working with her. But she’s a little bundle of chaos, so she won’t be my closest ally. So that’s my little summary of things. I’m just surveying the land like a good little chameleon and seeing what I should do to fit in the game. I can’t completely change who I am, but for now it’s just smile, be nice, and make it through the first couple of votes. Just gotta get myself into an alliance and sail until I can think of a better plan.

"qahtan"

- OMG YAS AT THIS SEASON! Apparently it's a Legends season? (that's what I saw somebody say but idk) BUT AYYY I'm proud to be on an All Stars season with these people like WOW! I'm an an actual All Stars!! And I have an alliance with like everybody. What kind of Mitchell in Salvation teas? Anyway, I feel like if we go to tribal I'm safe for now Emotikon grin I also have a finals deal with Kevin (which I'm happy about because Kevin is awesome and trustworthy) but I'm sorta paranoid lol I don't think I can fully trust anyone because everyone is so cold blooded (including myself). But hopefully my team will just win for a while, so I don't have to scramble to form relationships because I really wanna form a solid base for them and not rush it Emotikon kiki well that's it for now. (I'm skyping with Kevin :D)

"bariq"

- It's only been 2 years. Wow. I'm put in a tribe with Blaine, Taylor and Jeremy. Yep I'm fucked.

"qahtan"

- I’m honestly ecstatic to be back, Heroes vs Villains was such a low blow and I didn’t enjoy it that much, I plan on changing my game for this season. Instead of doing impulsive things that have hurt me instantly I will attempt thinking all possible scenarios after this. It is practically impossible to predict another person in this game since last time I was one day in the majority and the next one in the minority for being seen as Joshie’s friend. Talking about friends, sure I love my friends and they are amazing but in this season if I think it’s better for me to hang out with a bunch of people that I completely hate, I’ll do it. But then I’ll make them pay for it… Also I’ve been inspecting the logo and there is something about those jars that bugs me… The jars, they are completely out of place, in a logo that is kind of cartoonish those jars make absolutely no sense, not even filter was applied to them to make them match. Szymon and Bailey, who are hosting the season, knew that originally in Java the idols were going to be something similar to those jars. As soon as I get my hands in one Im cracking it open… What kind of Zelda teas is this. Also looking at my tribe Im happy, it seems strong and kind of balanced since maybe Sam is the bigger threat out of all of us which is fine by me, I plan on getting to ally her and stay on her shadow until she gets targeted for obvious reasons, then I’ll rise like a phoenix from her ashes and power my way through. This is only a possibility and as far as I know she could be targeting me to go home first as far as I know. The other tribes, not gonna lie I’m jealous of them. One has Skandi who is one of my best friends, I can’t help but worry for him as he practically only talks to me from the people in this cast meaning he might be an easy target. The other one has Jesper, this boy is going to hurt me a lot, in all honestly he is one of my best friends and people know that. I might be just targeted for plainly that. Anyways, this cast is amazing and to honour certain child of mine and be obnoxious as fuck “This is going to be the best season ever!"

"qahtan"

- Casually in a showmance already, no big deal. Sam and I are forever known as Tychel (I love Tyson, she loves Rachel). We're already snapchatting each other, you can say it's getting pretty serious

"qahtan"

- I'm back bitches!! my tribe seems strong but I don't think I will be good socially with them. I've only talked game to Kevin, Sam and Tyler but knowing these people they'd have a chat already but lord behold there is none!

"bariq"

- this season is going to be the weirdest I ever played. like all the people I could work with are on my tribe so I'll have to vote them out. and from the other tribes I don't know anyone. and I play with Skandi for the first time after 5 years (!!) I don't know if I should treat him as a safe vote on my side or play him like eveybody else

"bariq"

- I'm no longer the arrogant prick I was back when I last played, so that immediately changes the structure of how I play. I want to be an idiot. I changed my profile picture to emphasise the idiot persona, I want to be viewed as the dumbest shit ever. Being the village idiot will enable me to be viewed as less of a threat...

"bariq"

- kk me and amir are obv together and we hate dalas so were gunning 4 him. im willing to form some kind of bromance with Alfons. and fuck charley shes a bitch

"bariq"

- so it's time to start mapping out the tribes dynamic going into the first TC. Dallas-Charly-Blaine is a pretty obvious premade. me and Skandi is an obvious premade if those people done their homework, Alfons is likely to stick to Skandi considering he's the devil itself for the old schoolies. Jeremy is a wild card. he has history with Blaine and Alfons that may or may not play a role here. Mihai is also a wildcard and if I have to draw a line, I would say it comes down to 4 vs 4. Dallas, Charly, Blaine and possibly Jeremy vs Alfons, Skandi, me and possibly Mihai

"bariq"

- I JUST REALISED TAYLOR ISN'T ON MY TRIBE I'M SAFE! YAYYY!!!

"qahtan"

- Being added to the Base Camp and seeing that it doesn't have the logo in it helps my theory. When I search the idol in the logo and find it, the logo will be altered. If they have the logo on the wiki page it can be easily replaced by simply uploading a new image with the same file name as the logo, without having any edit marks on the page, however in Facebook to change image it would be incredibly easy to spot the flaw and thus ruin the fun. Also I feel like Jamie is going to be in big big trouble on her tribe so i might tell her the idol jar theory in hopes of her making a swap and being by my side. It might be stupid but I rather have a psychotic bitch I know than a possibly psychotic bitch that I don't know, after hosting her, her strategy is pretty patronising.

"bariq"

- who the fuck is jamie everybody taking about so much these fucking newschools thinking theyre something special fuck em

"bariq"

- Skandi and I are both iconic threats, so I see fit to work with him, I'd also love to work with Amir and Mihai. Ugghhh I love my tribe I don't want anyone to go.

"shehr"

- what the f*ck oh my word so i made an error in going to bed early last night - i was like "oh i hope cast reveal is in the afternoon tomorrow so i will be home for it" and then i wake up at 5am with like 100 messages and i'm like "well shit" tribe seems cool so far, i have literally no idea who anyone is but i've got some connections i can work with so that's hella. jesper is a winner, jamie was from galapagos (my first season on tumblr), molly is from tumblr, and ricky played endure with matt summers so idfk maybe i can use that? other than that i literally have not heard of any of these people in my LIFE. whew. gotta love being an all star after following exactly none of the org seasons except my own. \m/ anyway so i've talked to jesper and made an alliance with him, and we're now #bonding over queer stuff which is great; also made an alliance with amber, bonding over harry potter rn; and maybe an alliance with Jamie soon because we've been talking a lot (by which i mean for the last 10 minutes). obviously i'm late to the party so i'm gonna assume there are like 10 alliances already that i'm not part of, but as long as i have a couple people who have my back i should be okay for now. [thats what they all say...] also if molly doesn't have my back i will be personally offended and probably never recover. i just want her to like me ok ricky is just straight up ignoring me right now whew amazing let's vote him out im so fcking tired yikes this will be fun LETS DO THIS i should probably also look at the other tribes and stuff :))))) this is for MJ. everything i do in this game will be for MJ. i have to make him proud. so let's go.

"shehr"

- "Okay so I've calmed down after changing my own mangatar (no help from Bailey) and getting over the excitement of making the cast. Now I've spoken to everyone on Shehr except Amelia and so far I like them all! I've decided i'm going to talk about my tribe, comparing them to a white suburban neighbourhood.

So I am the wine mom who posts a million articles on facebook and finishes sentences with xx. I get this role because right now I'm kinda feeling like I'm behind everyone in terms of starting with making alliances and the gameplay stuff. I mean I'm already in an alliance with Molly and Ricky and I think we're trying to pull in Tom and Amelia but like for now I'm just kinda enjoying things, getting to know people and getting used to playing the game again. I'm just not hip with the times, I need a glass of wine LOL!! xx

Molly would be my lovely daughter. She and I have a good bond since we knew each other before and have played a game together before. She'd be the one I'd want to see win the most if for some reason I can't win. Also she makes sure to watch out for me, her mom!

Ricky would be the drunk uncle of the family! He is close with Molly and I but not as close (at least to me). He's a player who doesn't put a filter and in general he's just a hoot!

Amber and Jesper are the twins next door. Everyone knows they made it far together in Alsace-Lorraine and they're definitely not covering up their closeness to each other this game. It seems like when one is around, the other would probably not be too far away.

Tom would be Molly (my daughter)'s old friend from school. He and Molly seem to have a good bond together and now I'm starting to get to know him. At this point though I still feel like that mom who meets my daughter's friends when I bring snacks to them. He seems cool though and hopefully I get to know him better.

Amelia is the relative who moved to Australia and doesn't keep much contact with the family. I have not gotten a chance to talk to them because they haven't replied to me but I also KNOW they've messaged a few of the others. Maybe they just don't like me.

Jamie is the aunt who lives nearby and visits often. She's sociable and great to talk to, but in terms of the game idk where exactly I stand with her. She's a potential ally.

So that's the Shehr family from my perspective. At this point my closest allies are Molly and Ricky, although Molly has been suggesting an alliance of us 3, Amelia and Tom.

This'll probably be my longest written confessional this season because holy jesus christ this is too much typing. Next time i'll make it shorter or maybe if there's some long ones i'll make videos gasp emoticon"

"shehr"

- Amelia has spoken to me now, they're no longer the relative that doesn't contact the family

"bariq"

- "I really like my tribe, but I have to say the community is a bit overreacting to it. I mean we are all good players or likable characters, but I wouldn't go as far as calling us ""legends"". Blaine and Jeremy? since when being part of a losing alliance makes you a legend? and Charley? well, most of her popularity comes from the fact there were very few female players back in the day. Skandi and Alfons deserve the credit for dominating their respective seasons, but considering the poor competition they had? that barely qualifies as a legend. I honestly think that a contestant must prove his skills in more than one season to be considered a legend, and there are only a handful of people in the community who accompliched that. This tribe however, is just a bunch of good players for now. Good luck to us grin emoticon"

"shehr"

- Sorta hit the ground running. Socialized with everyone. Found out Molly's on our tribe and she played Kamchatka with my bro. That always sets me up nicely with alliances. Formed a twosome deal with her. Ricky seems SUPER cool. And he's 27 like and we actually can have normal conversations that aren't awkward like some convos can me. We agreed to look after each other. This sorta got the ball rolling in forming a majority alliance between myself, Molly, Ricky, Amelia and Tyler P. as we are all older and can stick together. Plus, Jamie is know for being sneaky and pulling big moves recklessly just to make a move. We all know Amber and Jesper are super tight, so we gotta watch out for them. Essentially we are brought together by our age and wariness of the other 3.

"shehr"

- Coming into the game, I’m really nervous. I don’t really know anyone on my tribe apart from Ricky, who I turned against in Rome, and I’m pretty sure based on my reputation as being untrustworthy that I’ll be targeted right off the bat. Right now my main focus is going to be on talking to people, getting to know them and really just playing a socially orientated game, since right now I need to solidify my place in the tribe.

So far, I’ve spoken to Amber, Ricky and Jesper the most. Me and Amber bonded really quickly off the bat, and she even said she wanted to go to the end with me even though the first challenge hasn’t even started lmao. Regardless, I really like her and definitely want to work with her down the road. Ricky and me immediately started speaking and restarted our Axis of Evil alliance which I screwed up in Rome. Same with Amber, Ricky is someone that I really like and have bonded well with, so hopefully the Axis of Evil can actually do stuff this season. Jesper and I both noticed fairly quickly how no one is talking about alliances or even anything remotely strategic, and since he’s a winner and I have the reputation that I do, we both knew we’d be targeted fairly quickly and decided to band together. I suggested that since no one is coming to us, we need to go to them and make our own alliances instead of relying on being placed in alliances, and so we decided on approaching Amber/Ricky. He successfully pulled in Amber and I’ve messaged Ricky, so hopefully Ricky will accept and then we’ll only need 1 more vote to get majority (Jesper suggested Amelia, but if we bring in Amelia we’ll need to bring in Molly too, and 6/8 seems like a large alliance in my opinion).

In general, I really like my tribe. Tyler P is amazing, I love Ricky/Amber/Jesper, Molly and Amelia both seem really nice and Tom seems cool too. I’m excited to see how this season shapes out and hopefully I can have a hand in how does shape out.

"shehr"

- Generations 1 - double agent, one agenda!

"qahtan"

- So I've formed an alliance with Sam, Jessy and Tyler R. That is pretty good, however there is a problem. According to Sam there is an alliance between Taylor, Yap and Kevin for sure, Cali being left out from both alliances. And that is worrying since that could mean that Tyler could be in both alliances or something like that. However I believe that since while creating the alliance I made it look like my closest ally were Sam to Sam and himself to Tyler, I don't think I'm that bad since like, come on. I'm non threatening as hell compared to any other person in my tribe. Me and Sam have been talking about the weneedonemoreperson dilemma and we have come up with two possibilities, take in Cali, who offered both me and Sam an alliance but also probably asked the entire tribe to safe her own ass. Or we can take out Cali, she is pretty much the weakest link in the tribe and if she does a monumental fuck up in challenges just let me say that I am not having a Katie, I don't care how good you are at strategy if you are making me go to tribal council. I am also worried about Kevin, honestly I love the big dude, hell we even call him daddy as his nickname, however he keeps saying how much work he has and all the shifts and it honestly makes me worried that his work will stop him from contributing enough in challenges.

"bariq"

- it's surreal being back. The adrenaline rush was unbelievable but it hit me really quickly that there's a lot of work cut out for me this time. I haven't been active or updated with all the org seasons and I know like 2 or 3 of my tribe mates. It's kinda like a double-edged situation, I could either fly under the radar or could be an easy vote for ppl. So far it looks more like the latter. I have talked to 4 or 5 persons in the tribe so far. No one has really talked game w me. The only one person I thought would play w me is Blaine but he was like lets talk more to people build strong relationships then we'll see. I know that's code for sorry, I am already in this awesome alliance bye Felicia! Grhhhh so frustrating!!! I really like charley so far! She's the one I can talk to.

"qahtan"

- so Sam and I want to overthrow Taylor/Tyler/Yap/Kevin because they're obvs rlly comfortable when talking to eachother in the tribe chat and at first I was turned off by the idea of doing that because this isn't HVV y'know how fucking messy is that? but like it's fine but how do we get the numbers. Cali is fine but ppl say she's attached to Yap but Sam is saying she thinks Yap wants revenge but idk that could just be lies to make them not seem close. It's just that Joan is so untrustworthy and I'm trying to be loyal and trustworthy this season too you know?? But it's not fucking working lmao thanks sam

AHHHH I’m back! It feels like it’s been forever since I last played and I’m looking for some closure after my untimely departure last season. When the cast was announced, I was expecting alliances to be made immediately but that wasn’t the case. My tribe is not very talkative and I’m having a really hard time integrating myself into an alliance. A lot of the people on my tribe have preexisting relationships which puts me at a major disadvantage. I’m not a happy camper.

https://38.media.tumblr.com/b7ad1f606cd85137a8eb9d9611342f60/tumblr_inline_nstu2oCCO11rjyihp_500.gif

Let me give you a breakdown of the tribe dynamics.

https://41.media.tumblr.com/1844c2d545cf6678baf5374018d38b06/tumblr_inline_nswl5xxxM41rjyihp_540.png

Basically Tyler Ridgeway knows and is aligned with everyone. (also Amelia should be there too but I didn’t know who they were aligned with on their tribe) Right now my biggest fear is a fuckboy alliance between Kevin, Yap, Taylor and possibly Tyler which means that I need to ensure that I have Jessy, Cali and Joan. The issue is no one trusts Joan. He’s been going around talking to the other tribes and trying to get information and then he just tells everyone, so any plans we have we can’t tell him because we’re scared he’s gonna blab. Then we also have Cali to worry about because she asked literally everyone on our tribe for an alliance. I want to vote out Ridgeway (when you see this I’m sorry) because if he doesn’t go soon, he’ll en up in the finals. No one seems to want to vote him out because they all want to add him to alliances and I can’t be the first one to bring up the idea of taking him out. So if all the guys are in fact together then we could be looking at a 4-4 tribal and Jessy wants to sacrifice Cali in that case because we’re not willing to go to rocks for her. My future in the game isn’t looking very bright so hopefully we win this immunity challenge because I need that damn idol clue.

Side note: If Amelia and I are both on jury then we’re starting a band."

"qahtan"

- I'm trying to bond with people and it's not working. This is my new strategy: http://www.wikihow.com/Flirt-with-a-Guy

"bariq"

- So I've spoken to everyone in tribe tribe! Hopefully I can get a social game going here. Everyone is so normal and mature, normally in seasons there's that one cray cray idiot but here everyone's annoyingly mature and I hate it and I don't know why

"bariq"

- we the olds are WAY too arrogant. idk about the others tbh but it seems like im the only one to develop good relationships with the other tribes. once we're facing a swap we will be fucked by the news and mids. i really feel like the newschools are actual threats which needs to be taken seriously. on one hand playing with them should be fun and i wanna meet em but on the other hand they're just too dangerous. my goal rn is to vote out most of the girls. not chauvinistic but thinking that they are huge threats.

"shehr"

- so yesterday I was at the best concert, but Tom approached me at the start of the day about working together and forming an alliance - which HEY SOUNDS GOOD I LIKE ALLIANCES. anyway, he said he for sure wanted amelia and tyler bc the 4 of us. are alone from our seasons, and he thought that ricky/amber/jesper/jamie would all work together. That way the tribe would be split???? idk if Tom knows how numbers work but no one wants to draw rocks at the first fucking tribal council. ANYWAY, we say that we'll talk to Amelia (since he mentioned pulling amelia in first), then I agreed to talk to tyler. So naturally, I spill the t in the ricky sucks chat, which is the trio chat between ricky, tyler and I. Ricky also tells us at some point that the four tom "predicted" would be in an alliance because they approached him about it, so he decided to go along to get info. We then decided ricky would talk to tom and convince to he would be a good 5th person, which worked out because Tom messaged me in the evening and told me about how much he loved rICKY. everyone was like WE NEED AMELIA TO AGREE OMG OMG OMG, so i was lke I GOT THIS and I asked amelia and they were like ok and i was like ok and then tyler made a group chat AND WE REALIZED ITS AN ALLIANCE EXCLUDING ALL THE EUROPEANS IM SCREAMING IT LOOKS LIKE TIMEZONE DISCRIMINATION. LIKE OH ARE YOU BRITISH? YOU CANT SIT WITH US BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO PAY TAX ON TEA SUCK ON THAT

"shehr"

- so it seems like things are starting to shake out in terms of alliances, which is good because at least i feel like i kind of know where everybody stands. from what i've heard, jesper and amber are close so nobody trusts them, and apparently people don't really like jamie either. which is awks because those are the people i talked to the most yesterday morning so yikes @ me, but it's okay because i connected with molly and she's my #1 and she helped me get into this majority alliance with tom, ricky, and tyler (literally just all the non europeans how problematic is that) so anyway, that's cool i guess. i'm kinda sad because jesper does seem super nice and the fact that we're both winners is (i think) a good connection to keep around, and it would definitely worry me if he were to go home first or anything because that might set a precedent. but i'm gonna go with the flow for now and see what happens. i feel like the most important thing for me to do at this point is just lay low and try to be friendly with everyone, but not to talk too much because obviously everyone knows (or could easily find out thru research/gossip) that my social game is what i rely on the most and i don't wanna emphasize that too much. yesterday i was like "it would be really fun to try to flip on the majority alliance" but then i was informed that i'm supposed to try to win this season so *sigh* i'll have to save some of my fun ideas for later in the game. first impressions of the other people whom i didn't get to yesterday morning: tom - really nice, friendly, seems kinda busy, idk he's cool i guess i don't have much of an opinion yet tyler - also nice, seems pretty innocuous but supposedly has a social game to watch out for ricky - okay so my first thought was "god this guy is going to be annoying as heck" but after i pm'd with him a little bit i was like okay he's not actually that bad, and i think he's maybe even kind of cool. maybe. there's still definitely room for him to cross over / cement himself in f*ckboy territory, and i don't necessarily trust him. but we'll see. i feel like the saga of ricky will be an interesting one. so i think that's pretty much everything going on so far? i'm excited and ready for our first challenge so we can really get things started! oh also, i finally looked at the other tribes. i'm stoked that joan and yap are here as well as sam because i know and love them from tumblr, and mihai seems to be really cool from what i've heard (wes), but other than that i literally don't know who any of these people are. and actually i'm planning to keep it that way for now. a lot of people have been like "omg this cast is so good and so scary it's intimidating" and i'm sure it *is* a great cast (i mean, it has me so obviously) but i think not really knowing the people can be an advantage in that i'm not psyched out by legendary players or anything. i figure i'll deal with people as i meet them and get to know who they are by personal experience rather than going on rumors and past behavior. after all, this is a new game, and the playing field can be level if you perceive it to be, so i'm not gonna spend too much time worrying about who i'm up against and how good they were or weren't in their previous seasons. one day at a time, amigos.

"shehr"

- And I'm back to Survivor! To be honest, I really had no idea I would sign up again. A few days before the deadline I had something in my mind I had to apply for it. And I made a great decision. Good, the new school tribe. I couldn't be on a better tribe. I have Jesper of course. Well, for now. I'm not that person who likes to take revenge but his time was last season. If I have the chance to get him out I will do that. About the others... let's begin with Jamie. Jamie already feels like my bestie of the season. Last season I got Melca and Jimmy who were close with me since the begin. Now I have Jamie and Ricky. They're both amazing and both in the alliance with me and Jesper. Of course I trust jesper and he trusts me but still. I'm not gonna put myself in danger again for him. Next is Tyler P. A sweetheart! I really love him, he's so chill and nice to me. Molly is nice but I don't know... for now I'm not super close with her or something. And then Tom. I have not much with Tom but I am currently with him in the amazing race, where Jessy and Jamie are in as well. Hosted by goddess Szymon. Well enough of that, as last we have Amelia. Amelia and I loves Harry Potter, books, tv shows and more. We are like twinnies. I really love her. After everything I think I'm in a good position for now. Playing the social game with everyone and being not too much on the background will give me high spot. Alsace was pretty easy if you ask me. The people were really naive but nice. That's why Generations will be extra difficult. For now I'll be just a cozy team member who's looking how the game works on this point of the game. Survivor Generations, I'm ready.

Day 2
"shehr"

- Okay it's challenge time only I'm pretty annoyed. If I suggest something everyone is shouting around like; idc what Amber says bye. I know I'm the new schooler of the new school but y'all don't have to ignore me. And now I'm NOT gonna do that dance challenge. Suggested it, got ignored, so no.

"shehr"

- you know that moment when the challenge is posted and you won every single one of them in your season?? That's what just happened! Everyone's asking what is everyone good at and when answering "yes" to everything it makes it very difficult to decide what you want to do! I want to go in and slay but I want to do the right task because whether people are good at other things or not, I could win them all. So I want to go to the thing that people in my group are worst at... To make up for potentially bad scores.

"qahtan"

- um molly wtf lmao why do you need to know who is playing the challenge?? all it did was make me lose trust in you that was already never there. she said hi to me and we talked about the challenge and i said i was doing endurance and she told everyone else fuck u too!! *continued* she said hi to me and we talked about the challenge and i said i was doing endurance and she told everyone else fuck u too!!

"bariq"

- "I have no idea where to start omfg. I'm really glad to finally be back after all this time. The cast reveal was very hectic and I honestly don't know what do think about my tribe. It feels like I'm a peasant among kings! These people scare me to death!

Amir, Skandi, and Mihai are fucking legends. They know how to play the game and proved it their first time around. I've also been stanning for Mihai since forever so I'm happy I get to be in a tribe with him. heart emoticon

I've had prior history with Dallas and Charley in one game, and I ended up voting them out. I hope we can start on a clean slate and hopefully play together. I kinda see them as a pair, so getting them on my side would be ideal.

It is better sweet to see Jeremy on my tribe as he's kind of an automatically ally because we were both in JCTY back in Cuba. HOWEVER, it seems like everybody in that alliance got asked back and I'm deathly afraid that it's going to put an unnecessary target on my back. We've spoken and we've agreed to work together, but we just need to start building a good alliance.

And then there's Alfons/Lukas.. oh my god. Seeing him in thecast reveal was like when Colby first saw Jerri in Survivor: All-Stars. I really don't know what to think of it. It's super awkward because not only have we had this weird allies/rivals relationship since we first played in Laos, but there's also some personal stuff between us that kinda went awry.

But idk, these past two days have been very slow in terms of strategy as I've just been focusing on getting to know these people. My social game has sucked eggs in the past, so I'm not going to let that be the reason I flop this season."

"bariq"

- It's amazing to be back, and I'm going to grasp tooth and nail to make sure I perform well. It's commonly said that you can't repeat tactics that once brought you success, so hopefully in this game I will take a more active roll in my alliances. I've already started talking to Charley, Blane, and Lukas regularly. Charley and I have agreed to watch each other's back, but are playing up that she still doesn't trust me due to the betrayal in Nepal. Whether or not that's true, I'm not sure of yet. I'm hoping she trusts me, because I fully trust her, but this could end badly if I'm not careful. For now though, I'll just be focusing on winning immunity.

"bariq"

- I am so royally screwed by this first challenge. I have no access to computers and most of them require one to complete. I am gonna try getting to one of those Internet cafes to see if I can finish any section. Poor performance in the first challenge is just too easy an excuse to be voted out and I am not gonna be the first one out. At least I don't wanna be

"bariq"

- Man I might just be screwed, first boot flop. This challenge… I’m not liking this challenge. Basically I suck at everything so I feel like I may just drag my whole tribe down into the pit of my suckage. Seriously, I am awful. Well not awful at the switching, but it’s lagtastic on my computer so the chances of a high score are low. I don’t know if a really bad score would get me sent home. I mean yes, I am awful at this challenge, but I’ve been talking to a lot of people, and I feel like they may have my back. At least Mihai Jeremy and Dallas have all said they have my back. I’m not in an alliance though, which worries me. Although this is an old school tribe, so maybe everyone is about as slow paced at this game as I am, waiting until we lose to form alliances. Either way, I think I may be in trouble if we lose. If we do lose though… I think I might go to Skandi for help. Haven’t talked to him much, but he’s pretty aware about having a target on your back and needing to survive. After all stars he might be desperate to work with anyone just to not go home first. At this point though, I’m willing to align with anyone to survive. Usually I don’t play the Sandra game of as long as it aint me, but I’ve never felt this nervous during a challenge. Either way… I’m just hoping another tribe has more trouble than we do, and we can get through this. I love my tribe and honestly want us all to survive this round.

"bariq"

- Gotta love the brutality of this challenge! Emotikon grin it's a combination of flash games, endurance and a DIY challenge which is usually only seen in Trials. I'm curious however as to how the dancing part is gong to be handled. these people are gonna need a very big room and a very good camera to make that worth watching, not to mention syncing the song into the video. Considering the mid-school tribe has a contestant who is actually a dancer, I'm not sure if we should invest too much time on that. The live challenge is the kind of challenges that made HvV so bad, mostly testing your lifelessness rather than endurance. It should be the easiest out of the 5 parts, but I doubt anyone would volunteer for that. I wouldn't care doing it if this was on a weekend, but c'mon guys - we all have to make a living. Strategically I chose to do the switching flash game, because even if I don't get a really good score on that, I woudn't get a bad score either. I could do any of the 5 to be honest, but this is the one people would probably care the least about.

"bariq"

- Okay for the challenge, Taylor Ukmar is a pro dancer, so we are fucked so hard on the dance part - that's why I'm suggesting we should cut our losses there and put Skandi (who can barely compete at the moment) there, so we can focus on the other sections of the challenge. Ughhh I just hope we win, honestly.

"shehr"

- I have an alliance with Ricky, Jamie and Amber now so that's fun.

"shehr"

- so I finished the puzzle for the first time, it took like 50 mins but i haven't cried yet so so far so good! I wish i got to do the tribe flag but whatever snooze ya looze and i snoozed.

"shehr"

- My alliance with Jesper, Amber and Ricky is now up and running, named The Ambushers - what matters right now is that I’m (hopefully) gonna be able to call the shots and keep myself from going home. We only need one more number right now (which we’re torn about — me and Ricky would prefer Tyler but Jesper wants Amelia since she’s also a former winner). I’m feeling somewhat good about the alliance, but I’m also kinda scared since I know that Molly and Ricky are close (she made his manga), and by the looks of it she potentially made Tyler P’s too. It seems illogical to me that Ricky would want to make an alliance with me, Jesper and Amber (he initially gave me the idea, I just put it into motion with Jesper) when he’s close to Molly and Tyler and has a connection to them through Endure. I don’t know if they have an alliance — they being Ricky, Molly, Tyler P and probably Amelia due to Molly and Amelia from tumblr — but it wouldn’t shock me. Regardless, I’m gonna definitely continue talking to all my tribemates and keep my social game up so they’ll want to keep me if it is between me, Tom, Amber and Jesper. 24 hours doing the endurance with Ricky definitely won’t hurt either, since I think right now he’s probably gonna be able to call the shots on this tribe and if we’re stuck together for 24 hours I can make sure our bond is strengthened. I just wanna survive to the swap so I can have more options, because right now they seem very limited. Right now my best option is probably to ride Ricky’s coattails, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

"bariq"

- This challenge is brutal. I feel like shooting myself.

"shehr"

- I've been at this puzzle for hours now and it's murdering me. I'm down to 29 minutes but someHOW TOM IS AT LIKE FRICKIN 17 MINUTES LIKE ARE YOU A MENSA MEMBER??? http://33.media.tumblr.com/a4dd73ddf504bd076dfead43232af7ad/tumblr_mwu63jiiaV1ribwfao1_500.gif Tom is crazy good at this and i'm feeling inadequate. Also I'm starting to think that Jesper and Amber are separating themselves from me. Maybe i'm being paranoid but i get the feeling that if we lost, i'd be high up on their list to go. I know about their alliance w/Jamie and Ricky but I'm counting on my alliance with Tom, Amelia, Ricky and Molly to stick by my side if I need them. I do feel like I'm bonding well with Jamie though too, so maybe i'd be okay despite her alliance. Ah well who knows?

- I am personally having a lot of fun with Jamie through this challenge! I genuinely appreciate the hard work, and when I stayed up as long as her so far! Her time zone is totally inconvenient for her. So I am extremely impressed!! I also got to talk to Molly and Tyler on call tonight and it was the first time I have ever talk to Tyler on Skype. We barely know each other so as always it's nice to kind of bond while I was doing the challenge! Molly is a lot of fun too but she kind of zoned out afterwhile but it was nice of her to initiate the conversation. I feel a smidgen closer to them than I did before. A lot of people are going to think we're a premade but I don't really know them so this is a good start to start some good friendships!

"qahtan"

- "Well then. I actually made it. Thank you based Wes-senpai. I ride in, on my trusty camel, to see 23 other enemies with blood in their eyes and poison in their veins. I look over to the Old School tribe, and I don’t know a single member of that tribe. I’ll be honest, I’m not invested into this community that much. And I came in the middle. So my only impression of them is that they’re possibly scary people in the game?? Strategists maybe? I’ll get to know them when I have to/swap.

I’ll get to know them when I have to/swap. Okay so New School.. hehe.. Hey Ricky! Ricky and I have an interesting relationship outside this game. Basically, we’ve hung before in real life, partied together, slept in the same hotel room together, you guys get the gist. But he’s also taken advantage of me in a previous game, and I still have a sour taste in my mouth with Ricky when it comes to ORGs. I like him and everything, but I hate playing with people I know previously, and Ricky is no exception. He basically offered me a final 2 once we were all announced. His words: “Final 2, no bullshit.” Ehh, I’ll keep that on a loose string. Sure we’ll work together, but I’m not putting all my eggs in the Ricky basket. I’ll have to entertain him from time to time, I can see it happening. Oh hey, it’s Amelia, Tyler P. and Molly Christ. I played a game with Amelia, and we still have a good rapport with each other. However, Tyler P. and Molly Christ are two I only know of because they fall under the Endure umbrella. With Ricky in the mix, I can already forsee him working with Jesper and Amber (who he hosted), and Molly Christ and Tyler P. (Maybe Tyler, for sure Molly Christ). Let’s see what happens when that time comes. Now to MY TRIBE! THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. A quick rundown on my tribe: Jessy – Talking to her is.. different for me. She says “tru!” and “irrel”. Stuff like that just means I have to push more in the conversation to draw it out of her. So far the talks with her have been okay, I’ll continue to talk to her. Sam – Got a “showmance” with her, day 1. Idk, maybe we click or just have the ability to ramble with each other, but I see good signs with her. We have each other on snapchat, also a good sign. I see me and her working together for the long run, I feel like I can trust her (for the most part). Go far, sure. All the way to the end, well we’ll see about that. Tyler R. – Yo this dude and I go way back to a game we played. I’m sure it’s me playing him and him playing me, but we both said “I hope one day we can play together again.” Well here we go!! I think Tyler and I have the same style of gameplay. We’re great social players, and we use that to help with our strategic game. For the best, Ridgeway and I need to stick together in this game because we’re both going to targets for being a social threat. So yeah, I see it being a conditional marriage. Cali – Umm LOL What?? Surprised to see her here to be honest. The last game I played with her, I backstabbed her, HAHA. Sardinia wasn’t exactly our best of times either. At least the door is always open, just gotta talk to her more. Joan – RIP me, I totally forgot that I played a game with him too. Same game with Amelia actually.. So far I feel like we’ve been making good progress with our talks, I get a good vibe from them anyway. I’ll talk to him more, make it a daily thing. Kevin – Haha oh Kevin.. I too played Endure with him, and we originally had a final 2 deal. Except we were separated and things fizzled out. Afterwards he was like, okay next time, we work together “no bullshit”. Man that’s a recurring theme. So far.. after 2 days, the talks haven’t really been strategic and seem kinda dead to me. Maybe it’s because he’s been working a lot and only is trying to communicate when it’s time to, but man I need to at least step up my game talk with Kevin. Taylor – HAHA God, HIM? Okay so Ukmar and I go back to another game where I lied to him and voted him out. Well we haven’t talked in like a year and he defriended me. First thing I say to him “considering we were defriended. Let's awkwardly get to know each other again!” Right now I’m not getting that good of a vibe from our talks. Idk, I should try harder I guess. All this and the challenge hasn’t even finished yet. Obviously, I got chosen to do the dance portion. I mean sure, I work as an entertainer at an amusement park where I dance all day, but doesn’t mean I’m trained as a dancer >,< So now I feel there is a lot of pressure to not FLOP against my two opponents. If I secure the points for my tribe, I’m sure I would be golden if my tribe were to go to tribal council. Good luck to my homies on my tribe to do their part :c"

"shehr"

- Am I the only one who gets fucking annoyed by Ricky, Jamie, Molly and Jesper's attitude? Specially Ricky. I love fun and talking but they are really annoying me now. They only listen to each other and when I say something they reply two hours later. It's just really really annoying. Ricky said to me when we started the season we had to be in a alliance. And now he's never talking to me again. So I don't know, I don't trust him. Jamie is doing really nice to me but still don't fully trust her. And Jesper is the only one I trust 100% now but again I get annoyed by him as well.

"qahtan"

- Well looks like things for me have turned to "trouble in paradise" real quick. So to explain, right when this game started I immediately made sure that I went out and tried talking to people and building bonds, however I was just told by Jessy that apparently several people on our tribe think that I went out and made an alliance with everyone... Um ya your cute. First of all this statement is already invalid because I haven't even talked to Kevin or Taylor since we started, so I don't see how I would be in an alliance with them. And everyone else are simply people who I genuinely thought I could trust, and wouldn't start shit behind my back. What got me even more pissed off was when I found out one of the people was Tyler. In a way it almost feels like there just trying to pin any reason on me to justify me being the first boot. Like noo, find your parents. Emotikon squint. The person who I know I can trust for sure now is Jessy. I just need to get closer with these damn people without bringing up game. But that's a little hard when, I don't know, YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. My next steps moving on are just to keep cool, stay low, and plan to get back at the people who did me wrong.

"qahtan"

- ricky and jamie are trying to convince me to stop posting at one point so we can both win but i want to say that i went a full 24 hours without adderall or coffee so no @ that

- "WTF Skandi are you for real?

I'm the only one that actually scored something for this tribe, and I invested the least amount of time in this challenge

did these guys just throw the challenge to get rid of me?

somehow, it makes perfect sense squint emoticon

you know what really pisses me off? that now they message me and ask me to be the butcher and decide who's going home. and like, guys, YOU are the reason we need to vote someone out in the first place! why not YOU decide and tell me when you make up your mind?

seriously speaking, Jeremy gotta go and it must be a uninanimous vote. It would've been much easier if Skandi was so kind to submit his flag, but now I have to save his ass as well."

"shehr"

- i feel rly bad about lying to amelia about the idol so i told them i had a fake bc tyler and ricky didnt wanna tell them. i want amelia to trust me tho so didsbccbscd

"qahtan"

- I really worked hard for that damn flag like I spent around six hours to make it the best I could. I think the statement that Im gonna overwork simply to try my best in a challenge and help us win reward and immunity is up in the air. Also me and Sam know where the idols are so good thing is that as long as we guess first searching either of us will have, I prefer having it since I kind of want it for deeper into the game where I will actually start taking down the game giants... *coughcough*SamJamieSkandiJessyMihaiAmirAnybodyILeftOut*coughcough* But yeah not everything is pink and pretty... Jesper had to quit, I knew what was going up with him and its horrible since he doesn't deserve the pain he is going through, I know its not that dangerous now he got help but he still is going through it, nobody should go through such a thing. He really is the sweetest, most caring and adorable person I've ever met and I am now determined to win for him over anything else. Jesper I love you Emotikon heart

"bariq"

- I talked to Dallas and he hinted to me it was Skandi that lost us the challenge. I don't necessarily think so but it wasn't my name so I gave him all the approval I could. Then he told me the tribe's consensus is to keep the strength. Yea sure that makes sense. Wait a minute, the tribe's consensus? I don't rmb having that discussion as a tribe. The memo must have been lost en route to me or there's a majority alliance working together and THEY decided to keep the tribe strong. From what he said I guess he meant Skandi is the weak link. But that could be a lie to me too. I gotta get to the bottom of this alliance

"shehr"

- "so uhhh we won the challenge which was #nice, i flopped super hard at the flash game which was even ###nicer, and jesper's gone now which is decidedly not nice. i mean i guess i kinda dodged a bullet in that i don't have to vote him out, which probably would have happened soon because he's not in the non europeans alliance and would probably be the most threatening out of those three, but i'm sad because i really did like jesper and also now i'm the only winner on this tribe and that's kinda scary ngl. i mean, i *think* i'm safe right now, i feel pretty good about my position with everyone else in the tribe, but you still never know and now jesper can't even be my canary in the coal mine for that (i wanted to make sure that we voted amber or jamie out first over him if we had to go to tribal so i could be certain there's no mass anti-winner alliance going on, but that's out the window now). but yeah, i hope jesper feels better soon and he will be missed and hopefully our tribe can still continue to shine. also idol news - god this is so funny ricky: [finds the idol within an hour thru multiple jigsaw puzzles] me: [wanders around and kicks at a couple rocks] i mean rip me but at least we know where it is now which is great and also i don't have to search for it anymore Emotikon smile also apparently ??? molly asked ricky how he found the idol, went and got the fake one he put there, and planted a different fake one ""in case we need it for something ""dsasdfghjkjhg what a QUEEN and last but not least, our alliance (minus tom) has moved to skype and i am feeling so alive. like. skype is my home i can literally feel myself just breathing deeply and filtering out the facebook stress thru my pores right now. i can't wait until this alliance singlehandedly gets the entire org wikia to leave that hell behind and embrace this new frontier :') so yeah, not a bad day 2 at all. will continue to press forward."

"qahtan"

- so im just minding my own god damn business right?? SLEEPING IN BED. AFTER BEING DEPRIVED OF IT FOR 18 HOURS. JUST ATE SOME MCDONALDS. SET UP AN ALARM AT 5 PM (which I think I missed idk how) and at 9 pm Sam drives all the way to Maryland and drags me the fuck outta bed yelling and screaming WE GOTTA FIND THE IDOL!!!!!!! next thing I know she gives me water and I pass out and I find that I'm on a plane to Poland to drag Szymon's weave out of his scalp and get the idol out of his hand but he tells us that Tyler found it so she drags my ass to New Jersey and takes the idol out of his hand GAWD

"bariq"

- So I've heard both Jeremy and Skandi's names come up... and I hope we can get Jeremy out! Skandi cannot be the new Francesca Hogi, he is just too good for that title, and he's also an alliance member who I made a promise to never vote for.

"shehr"

- Survivor Generations - Video Confessional Day 2

"bariq"

- So the plan tonight is to get the entire tribe to vote out Jeremy, and you might have asked yourselves why. Well, the question is not "Why Jeremy?", but "Who's Jeremy?". Why is this guy an allstar? he isn't especially smart, social or a strong challenge competitor, so why is he here? (and not someone like, hmm.. Gerda?) He might be a great guy but if you compare his placement and reputation to any other tribe member, he just doesn't fit. If you know my Survivor agenda, you know that I believe the weak players are the biggest threats, and Jeremy is going to be a huge threat if he makes it far, because nobody would bother voting him off later on. Jeremy is also the only person I can get a concensus against (you don't really think Charley would vote for Dallas, right?) and it's very important to keep the tribe united in case an early switch is on its way. So I started slowly rolling this Jeremy snowball, hopefully it's going to work.

"bariq"

- I seriously don't know what to think anymore. So far everyone has told me they haven't talked game to anyone yet and there isn't any alliance. I could be extremely paranoid or all these ppl are lying. This is an Allstars season and everyone is playing too conservatively. Make deals, form alliances, keep them, break them I don't care. It just drives me insane that nobody wants to make any commitment. Nobody wants to throw out any name. We need to vote out somebody people!!!!

"qahtan"

- BOTH my #1 allies have idols... this is perfect. we both have a #3 on each tribe, jamie has amber, sam and i have cali. i want to know where all the idols are so i am planning on talking to charley and telling her about the idol stuff so she can find it and hopefully work with us which would be all the girls but molly

"qahtan"

- This is tragic I realise the clue was in the insignia and go find the spot the idol was hidden. Then what do I find? I don't find SHIT. I bet it was Sam... It must of been her like in all honesty only me and her would think about searching in a spot like that. But then it could be Taylor... or Yap... or Jessy... or my motherfucking mother... Hahahaha fuck me.

"bariq"

- Trying my absolute hardest to save Skandi and give Jeremy the boot! Sorry old Cuba buddy, but I've gotta save my friend. I think Jeremy should be going home this time round, but hey, it's Survivor, you never know.

"qahtan"

- I was so angry and I wanted the idol so bad that I actually told Amber, Skandi and Jamie how to find the idols for their tribes since that way the would owe me in the future. Skandi found it which is good since he was getting at least 4 votes this tribal. I just need to keep him alive until the swap to harvest the profits of saving him and potentially his alliance. Who would have guessed that a peasant like me would be saving the greatest villain in history's ass? Not me, not you, not nobody.

"bariq"

- Going to the first tribal sucks, luckily Charley and I have been able to convince the tribe that even though we were last, six hours is still kick ass. There's been two names thrown around our tribe, Skandi and Jeremy. I'd been pushing for Skandi, because he didn't submit, but I also know he can be a strong player later in the game. However, it seems like the tribe wants Jeremy out. Who knows what'll happen.

"shehr"

- Today I woke up and realized my best friend, my mate and my allie left due to medical problems. I'm really sad about it. Of course I want him to feel good, that's obvious, but still... I feel I'm alone here now. Jamie and I are talking whole day but it's only about the hidden immunity idol. I've searched everywhere, tried to understand the riddles but I don't know. I'm stuck with the letters. To be honest, I think I guessed it right already and that someone else has already got the good answer. Jamie said if she got the idol she'd say it to me and we would use it together. I don't know... I'm just curious and doubt she will tell me about the idol. But after all the negativity... we won!!! I'm happy we're not going to tribal but if we have to, I'm not sure if I'll survive. These people knows each other. With Jesper out of the game I'm the newbie here. That feels kinda freaky but also really exciting. It's time to fight for my place.

"shehr"

- "2 seasons in a row, I’ve found the idol! I’m super hyped to have it, and the best thing is that practically no one knows. The only person who knows is Jessy, because she’s one of my best friends on the ORG and hopefully a future ally in this season, and also because she was there and practically witnessed me find it so I kinda needed to.

My main priority for right now is to get myself into a good enough position that I won’t need to play the idol though. In Rome a lot of people knew I had it so I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible (I didn’t want the unnecessary target since at that point in Rome I was in the majority alliance and was only on Domonique’s radar) but that really bit me in the ass, but this time no one knows I have it so I want it to be a last resort. Obviously I don’t wanna be taken out with it though, so if I think there’s a chance I might go then I would play it.

I’m still continuing with just talking to people and maintaining a solid social game with my tribe, and right now it’s working. Molly asked me if me and her wanted to work together, which is great. She didn’t ask for any alliances, which suggests maybe it’s just there to make me feel safe, but who knows — it’s better to have the offer than not have it at all, regardless of what the motives are. Based on conversation and just from feeling the tribe out, I think Molly is in a really good position and if I’m on her side then that’s great for me. I probably need to start talking to Amelia and Tom more, but I think I just gel with the other people on the tribe more and Amelia and Tom are both fairly busy, so I see less of them.

Also with Jesper gone and no one really talking or worrying in mine/Ricky’s/Amber’s/Jesper’s alliance chat, I think it goes to show that there is probably another alliance that’s running the show on our tribe. Ricky’s probably on it, same with Molly, same with Amelia and same with Tyler. So if I'm right I guess that means I’m minority now? Oh well, we’re immune right now and even for when we’re not, I have an idol

"bariq"

- I am soooo happy to be back after so long. This tribe is pretty awesome and I think I'm in a good position but still have to be really careful. From the get go, I talked with charley, blaine, amir, lukas and jeremy. Later on, I found out from lukas that he wants me, amir and skandi to stay together but to be honest, I dont trust lukas because today he asked me if I dont mind him telling jeremy to throw his vote towards me. Like a real ally won't do that, no? So, I predict I will be between alliances next time, since lukas amir and skandi will stick together, and probably blaine charley and dallas too. I would love an alliance with charley, blaine and amir, but I don;t know if it's possible. Also, I'm pretty happy there are so many guys here, I can flirt my way around, since there's not easy about being straight in these games. PS. How havent I seen amir until now in the org? I'm in love!

- So, I will try to keep good contacts on both sides by actually talking personal stuff with charley, blaine and amir besides strategy, since I think that the personal talks can unite people. Also, I gotta work on complimeting lukas and making him feel I'm with him, so I can know what his plans are. Keep my friends close and my enemies closer.

- Ahhh goddamn this game! Seriously, why the hell did I even sign up for this? I may be an ice bitch in game play and screw people when I need, lie to peoples faces, but quite honestly I don’t like that so much. I feel bad for weeks after betraying someone who really trusted me. But this is survivor, despite feeling bad about it I’ll still do it. Don’t need to act like I’m some bitch who enjoys all the lying cheating and stealing to be a good player, just need to do the lying cheating and stealing. But moving on, this vote is hard for me. Yeah, first vote in the game and big surprise, I’ve put myself in a position where no matter what I’m screwing someone over. I’ve basically told everyone that I’ve got their backs, and I have no idea why I did that. Clearly I cannot simultaneously watch all their backs. It just so happens though, that the guy I’m lying to is like the sweetest guy in the universe, Jeremy. He’s just so cool and so nice, but he’s my target for this vote. He’s not strong enough for challenges, and we need all the strength we can get. But in more interesting news, I think things might be falling into place for me. Dallas and I are pretty solid for right now, so that’s one vote on my side. Blaine said he wanted to vote with me… I still have a gut feeling not to trust him, but I’ll work with him for now. Mihai is saying he wants to work with me and I kind of trust him, but whatever. And Lukas and Amir I think are okay with me, we haven’t made any choice together yet. But most strange of all is Skandi. He thought he was going home because he messed up not submitting the flag, but when I told him he probably wasn’t he was super grateful. I don’t think he really has anywhere to turn, or maybe he’s just playing me, but he’s said he wants to work with me, and as dangerous as it is… I want to work with him too. It’s kind of like making a deal with a devil based off his reputation, but I’ve played with matches before. Plus the fan side of me is kind of psyched at the thought of working with Skandi, so I gotta get my head in a place where I make the right decision. But… I think I am with this. Or I could be going home first, which honestly wouldn’t shock me very much. I really hope I’m not though, so we’ll just have to see what happens.

- man i'm making a lot of these lmao but Amber has just asked me to align with her officially, we are the Velma Rocks Alliance. Maybe if it had been made sooner i'd be more loyal to it buuuuut i've got other alliances already made, and a part of me is suspicious that her asking to align with me is because Jesper left. She's a sweetheart though and she seems like she'd be a number in my favour, so for now at least she's moved up in my books a bit!

- This will be a quick confessional... But I don't know why, I'm getting a gut feeling I might go home at the first tribal council. Maybe it's just a shitty feeling but... I don't know. I hope I don't go, but I don't trust a single person on this tribe fully, so wouldn't be shocked if I leave first. Actually... This gut feeling kind of has me expecting it at this point. Hope I'm wrong.

- "It turns out Amber is making alliances with EVERYONE like the Not From Europe alliance has compared notes and if everyone's being honest that means Molly is the only alliance member who hasn't been approached (rip Molly we still heart emoticon u ). Amber wants me to work with her and Tom and like this is a very shady situation we got going on here.

Our whole is just sitting here like http://38.media.tumblr.com/a0c7e5e2320aabe6fb0118e0d9596fd6/tumblr_naxppvz7Em1r5hjilo1_500.gif side eyeing each other. Amber's so sweet and I think she has such good intentions but she's being messy with her gameplay and that might come back to haunt her frown emoticon"

- it sucks when I woke up and knew that my name has been going round the table for discussion and now it's too late for me to do anything. I know I didn't do well in the challenge but I could do so much better now that I am home. It's nice of Blaine for telling me so I am not like an idiot blindsided at the first tribal council. I guess it makes sense since nobody would talk game or vote w me. That can only means one thing right? I so hope that I survive this one though.
