Legian Is Definitely Cursed/Confessionals

Day 12
"ubud"

- A swap incoming? Well crap, it's time to say good bye to my awesome team and meet new people. I'm slightly suspicious of Ayung for wanting our team to lose and it's certainly raises my guard up. Better hope I'm not in the minority, I'd could use some of my team members... "ubud"

- Can I have my old tribe back? None of these people actually like Survivor. I'm lonely and I miss my people. "ubud"

- I fucked up and spoke into the wrong chat window. It's late and I have a job and I have no patience for this swap shit (love you hosts). So I'm a fucking moron and if my game tanks because of this, I will set myself on fire. BRB finding matches. Pray for me and my idiot, ADHD brain because I CANNOT! "ubud"

- Keaton named our alliance two donuts and a sausage. I cannot. Never heard that before. Hardy har har... I need to go the fuck to sleep. "legian"

- So we arrive at the challenge and we are told drop your buffs, and honestly i was expecting this, but it doesn't make this any easier and i am so nervous. I had an amazing relationship with everyone on the beauty tribe, and strong alliances. We were by far the strongest team, we won 4/5 challenges, only went to tribal council and this swap could completely ruin everything for me, i'm just hoping i can build good relations...So i pull my buff and see its Grey and i'm moving to Legian. Immediately i see I'm with Elmo and i am SO relieved. He is my number 1 alliance, and I know if worst comes to worst, he has the idol on me and will use it, so hopefully if we lose we can play it correctly and stay safe. On my tribe theres me and Elmo from Beauty, Tyler from Brawn and Ellie & Chris from Brain. In the last challenge, me and Ellie kind of had some bad blood so that makes me nervous. The fact Junior is on exile also unsettles me, as I feel the beauties will be targeted if we lose, as they will not want Junior joining and beauties having a 3-1 majority. But we have the idol, I trust Elmo 100% so hopefully we'd be safe. I just hope we win the challenges, we have a strong group, so I think we can. I've only been to tribal once, and no plans to again anytime soon! On another note its my birthday today and its super weird to be celebrating with a totally new group! "ayung"

- This swap is fucked. The beauty tribe is so screwed. Poor Alexandra is on a tribe all by herself. Jenna and Elmo are together but they don't have the numbers, and they're a target if they lose, because Junior is on freaking exile island, and he'll rejoin them. So that's great, and that also makes me and max a target. Yeah, I got stuck with the one person on my tribe who voted against me lmao. Life is great. Winning this challenge has never been more important. This challenge is the difference between keeping my life in this game, and ending it. Because if we lose, they'll have to vote out me or max. Nothing else would make sense because of Junior coming back. I feel like I'm in a very delicate situation right now, and I'm just really missing the people from my old tribe, especially the other beauty girls. "legian"

- This could not have been a more perfect swap. So you have Chris and Ellie of Ubud, or The Simpletons, as I like to call them... Neither really require much grinding or effort to get them on my side. And then there's Elmo and Jenna of Ayung. A very socially, physically, and strategically threatening pair. And then there's me. At first I was a bit worried given I've basically been running Legian since day 1 and now, I have none of Legian here with me, but this actually couldn't be better because I'm in the perfect position. I just get to decide between the two groups. So in other words, I decide who goes! This REALLY is Legian 2.0 isn't it? So, details: Chris literally asked me within a half an hour of talking to him, for me to join forces with Ellie and him in the case that we lose a challenge, and Ellie like I said required literally nothing to get her on board. (I vaguely know her from YouTube and she's not the brightest bulb so I'm not surprised) And I know damn well they're not bullshitting because well, I've heard reports from Jenna and Elmo that neither of them have been all that social over the past 23 hours. Ellie specifically who even left Elmo on seen. So pretty much, here's how it's gonna work out: If we lose the first immunity challenge, It's a no-brainer to rock with Chris&Ellie to vote one of Jenna / Elmo. Because in the case we do lose that first challenge, in comes Junior returning from exile. Yeah, not letting them have majority. If we lose say, the second immunity challenge, but win the first one, ok then I get to decide who I rock with. (Because no Junior.) I predict I'll end up voting with Chris / Ellie because like I was getting at, they're simpletons, easy to manipulate. And Elmo / Jenna are massive threats. Despite how smoking hot Jenna is, and how undeniably nice Elmo is. Ellie and Chris want Jenna out if we are to lose and honestly, no. Elmo is a way bigger threat, and like I said they're so simple I can change their minds in a heartbeat.

Day 13
"ubud"

- Finally, a fricking ART challenge, something I'm actually somewhat good at. Though, it'd be really nice if Nadine was in my tribe, I mean, she's an art major, so that definitely concerns me. ""ayung"

- Pre-swap Thoughts: I've been wanting to throw challenges, just not too obviously, since I wasn't a fan of my tribe possibly becoming a majority in merge. I was probably the only one who thought that way! I did do my best in the previous challenge and I wasn't too sad that we went to tribal. It worked out toward my favor. Then I got into a 3 female alliance with Ellie and Ting Ting, since three of us did our best in the challenge. I was already in an alliance with Chris, Hannah and Keaton. So it worked out that TC, who wasn't in any of my alliances, got out. That is to say, I wasn't worried at all during that tribal. I had the best information gathering at the time and made each alliance feel safe, since I knew T.C. the King was getting out. Swap Thoughts: First impressions with other tribes felt so strange! Our first lines to each other were so forced, it was kind of hilarious. My first thoughts were to bond with my new tribe and try to get an idol as soon as possible. Then things changed when Max came up to me for a conversation, about how he was bottom of the Beauties tribe along with Emily. He explained in depth about how the majority alliance split the votes between Max and Emily in case of idols, and such. He said he'd work with me and Ting Ting to vote out a Beauty from the majority alliance. I've been curious for days about the split votes from the Beauty tribal and now everything makes sense. I might throw the challenge to vote Julia out, but I'll see about it with Max once he comes back from walking his dog "						"ubud"

- We just had a tribe switch and I am getting to know the other tribe members. I was relieved to see that David was in my tribe. I hated leaving Tyler and Danielle, but I really like the new tribe too. Everyone is very friendly to each other and wants to work together so we can be a strong tribe. I hope we do well in this challenge and that all of us are safe from TC. ""ubud"

- ""I just realized that I never wrote up my hot take on Max's betrayal of me on Beauty, so let's get that shit done. If I did do this already, I'm sorry, but screw it, I'm feeling post Survivor viewing aggression. Max blows the challenge for us by not even bothering to show up when we needed him, like a twerp. Then, he comes to me all sad puppy and begs me to find a way to keep him in the game. I think, """"why not? Emily is a sketch monster and if we go to tribal again, Max is an easy vote off. And maybe this way I can buy a little loyalty if I stick my neck out and use a little pull to save him."""" So I tell him, """"I'll try, but if I tell you to write a name down..."""" And he says that he'll write whoever I say down with no questions asked. So eventually I try to organically turn the tide toward Sketchily, and put myself in danger for Max's punk ass. I get Julia to tell Max to write down Emily's name, so it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass if this goes south. And then I find out the morning of tribal that the beauty idol is gone, so then I have to haul ass to the Fabulous Five message board to let them know that there's a possibility an idol could be played at this vote and that's why Emily isn't trying to scramble. So we decide to split the votes. Meanwhile, I tell Emily that I won't write her name down to try to make sure that she won't vote for me if it comes to an idol play and I get her to tell me that she's not targeting me. I never lied to her because I was assigned Max's name in the vote, so I had no intention of writing her name down. Then, Jenna reaches out to me and lets me know that she got approached by the one and only Sketchily to vote for Julia because... I don't know... Julia is too perfect and awesome or something. (Really, it's because Emily thinks Junior and Julia have an alliance for some reason, when Julia actually has an alliance with me and Jenna) So anyway, the votes are read, and this Red Headed Step Child Max votes for my girl Julia because Jenna convinced Sketchily that she would be voting with them, even though she had no intention of doing so. So, this proves that Max can't be trusted to even do what he's fucking told, and then this kid comes back to us and goes, """"I'm going to be honest here, I did that because Emily (read: Sketchily) and I are friends and I knew she was going home so I wanted to throw a pity vote her way."""" Are you kidding me? Either, he's a Liar Mc Liar Pants or he really has no strategic sense whatsoever. I'm going with the former because I really can't believe that he would throw his position in the game away for pity. That just makes no freaking sense. And then, get this, I talk to him later and he confronts ME about the vote split, and assumes it's because we (obviously) were worried about an idol and he says, """"I promise you I don't have an idol."""" And I wanted to say, """"BITCH LIKE YOU PROMISED TO WRITE EMILY'S NAME DOWN?!"""" But I kept cool and tried to play my social game, but if I get a chance to shoot that kid down, you better believe that I'm taking the shot.

TLDR: Max is on my shit list. "" "						""legian"

- ""So we lost the challenge and this obviously SUCKS. I singlehandedly decided our story and got us the points, and now my head is on the chopping block due to the exile twist. It makes complete sense for Tyler to Join Ellie & Chris and send either me or Elmo home. Junior is joining for exile and obviously that would give us the beauty majority But i have built a social relationship with Tyler, and if this gets me through this vote I am going to be so impressed with myself, as if these players were playing logically i would be gone."" "						""legian"

- ""So i've formed an alliance with Tyler and Elmo, and I feel i can trust him somewhat despite this move not making sense for his game. If Ellie goes home, I will be so satisfied. Her and Chris are being so cocky in this vote, and that's such a flaw. Never leave the people on the bottom time to manoeuvre, and I am good, and I will not be going home, you best believe that My social skills will save me, despite all logic showing I should go, purely from a numbers standpoint But i'm a fighter, i'll do anything to stay in this game.""

""Elmo has the idol, and I know he is willing to use it to save me in this next vote, but I believe that would be a waste this early on. I'm sure my relationship I have built with Tyler will save me. I can only hope so. If i survive and Junior joins, I will be in a phenomenal position. We will have the beauties, and my alliance with Tyler meaning i can go whichever way best fits me If i survive this vote, it will be a miracle i have created myself, It will be genius. Theres no way i should stay, but if i do, Hats off to me, and Ellie/Chris you think you're running the show, but you could be in for a very nasty surprise"" "						""legian"

- ""So we've hit the 2 week mark in the game and once again we find ourselves facing tribal. I ended up with arguably our weakest player from Ubud in Ellie and today that may have been the difference in such a close challenge. When I go to tribal there's a lot of things I take into consideration. First things first, we have to be aware of Survivor logic. We will be adding Junior after tonight, which means that OG Beauty could have 3 members if we don't play smart. Using this to my advantage I quickly swept up Tyler and Ellie within minutes of the swap. This established my safety net and set the hierarchy- the beauties were on the bottom. Despite a valiant effort from both Elmo and Jenna we are now left with a very simple decision that becomes more complex the longer we let it drag on. Jenna really alarmed me at first with her wild and crazy nature, but her risk on the story paid off and she would keep us very strong going into our next challenge. Elmo is a much more calm and quiet type, however it remains in question how many ties he has to other players in the game. So at this juncture I am engaged in some sincere conversation with the two of them, to keep them at bay and make sure the plan stays simple. I'm leaning towards sticking with my initial read of this tribe and voting for Jenna. Both Tyler and Ellie are passive and could probably be influenced in following my lead.

Legian is definitely cursed, lol. "" "						""legian"

- ""Its been a good couple days in exile a nice vacation from the game. Seeing everyone do that challenge im kinda happy that I I was not participating.

Now I was going to give my idol to someone on the beauties but than I thought about it but eh I didn't know what situation I would be placed on and I think looking out for myself is better than anything.

I am really happy with the tribe that lost cause there idol is the one that has the least amount of clues so that means it might be out there so theres the chance of me getting two idols.

I am still hoping that I am getting an advantage for being on exile but my birthday is in two days and im about to leave for washington whatever happens ill be out and about so we shall see how this next round goes."" "						"ayung"

- I have so many mixed emotions right now. The challenge was like a creativity challenge, which was horrible for me because I'm actually a math and science person, so I am seriously not creative. But I knew it was so important that we win this so I put all my effort in, and I wrote the first chapter of the story. I don't know how the scoring worked, but the brain tribe must have written something magical because I actually thought me and Ting Ting did a great job. We only got one point each. Anyway, it was a tie between us and Leigan. Ting Ting won in the tiebreaker, so we're safe for now. But this was such a bittersweet win because now Jenna and Elmo are in severe danger. It really doesn't make sense to get rid of anyone but them because of Junior joining their tribe. I just have to hope for a miracle, maybe Elmo does have an idol and he can save them, or maybe there's a real dummy over there who can vote with them. I just really hope they can both make it through this tribal. ""legian"

- ""YIKES!

So the """"break the curse"""" alliance was a total failure. I had no clue there was past beef that other people held towards my girl Ellie. This really has me on my heels because I did stick my neck out to try and eliminate Jenna. Going to have to play very very smart these next couple days in order to keep myself safe.""
