A Thumping Bore/Confessionals

Day 4
"fyvie"

- Alright well YESTERDAY shit hit the fan beneath the surface of the tribe, but now I think TJ has somewhat backtracked and is receptive to working with Audrey and Bryce again? Which is both like not a terrible thing, but also I had Audrey and Bryce riled up to work together in a separate alliance chat against him and now we have one with us 4 including TJ.

And now we're back to potentially taking out the two quieter girls. IF we can take Sarah for example at a first tribal in a relatively boring vote, then we would have a free shot at TJ if that's where Audrey and Bryce want to go, but they're kind of wanting to build a bridge back with him.

That's why I'm not going to reveal to them the full extent of TJ's backflip, and I might try to keep them somewhat distant and wary of eachother despite a kumabyah alliance chat, not with outright lies but without full transmission of information. I get the feeling Bryce and TJ are closer than they're saying and there might be stuff I don't know about going on as well. We'll see how this goes, I don't want to overplay but I want this situation to work out in my favour as much as possible.

"fyvie"

- I thought I would be in trouble because I am not very active (I'm not INACTIVE, I'm just busy right now and don't want to go overboard too early). But my tribe is largely international so I think it's okay because most of them are barely online :) Yay!

My goal tomorrow is to have 1 (one) conversation with every person in the game. I think I can do it!

"fyvie"

- NOT IN THE GAME. One conversation with everyone on my tribe.

I'm not breaking the rules!!!

"kisimul"

- Dani is raising as a tribe leader. Not sure if she does it intentionally but she's open with calling shots and making decisions - we stan a queen!! I'm just trying to appear to her as someone who's gonna follow her lead. On other side Tyler is trying way too hard with his playing stupid/goofy card. Hes putting too much energy into looking stupid cuz there's no way that he actually is the way he acts in certain situations zzzz. I have to try to talk to Byron more even tho he's just boring to talk to. Im not letting him eventually idol me out if we lose skdghsdkgh

"glamis"

- Hi I take back that confessional from days ago. WENDY IS VERY LOVELY AND IM VERY GLAD THEY ARE ON MY TRIBE.

That is all.

Also me lowkey predicting an early boot for Sharky by IN TURN predicting an early boot for myself? It’s the spirits I swear.

"glamis"

- so sharky left. i don’t know how to feel. sharks scare me. so do plad shirts. so that’s two reasons to be relieved. however, idk.. there are other people on that tribe i would've preferred to see go based on tribal answers.. jamie calling out one time winners? not fetch. not cute.

anyways, we have another challenge and i LOVE it. i kinda snapped and took initiative in the tribe chat which is not something i usually do to share tips on how we could up our score. i’m a little nervous, because one of my tips originated from jake (although i did find the website we used to unscramble) and i couldn't give him credit because it’d reveal we talk.. a lot. anyways, my idea at the moment is just to make myself a huge asset in challenges so even if i might not be integrated strategically, i’m beneficial for someone else’s safety.

like right now jake is easily my closest friend here. i don't want to say ally, because i’m not sure that’s the t and i still have no clue if he’s looking out for me, but we literally talk v often. either his social game is on point or we connect well. the latter would be better for my game. as for the other tribemates, i talk to jared often too. wendy i talk to daily but the convo literally always fizzles out and chelsea is just.. doing her own thing socially. i adore her she’s a sweetheart and a v interesting person but i always feel like i’m forcing the convo.

then we have the cali situation. it shouldn't be a situation, but it is. so as my last confessional said, i made a fake idol for cali because it’d give her a chance at safety on the other tribe. now note, there are two aspects of her narrative that haven't checked out yet: first, she said she’d tell the tribe. that hasn't happened.

second, she hasn't actually left. i know that cant happen yet, but if it doesn't, do i panic?

was there a chance her task was to sell someone else on a convincing idol and i became a piece in that plot? or am i being set up? i feel like setting up such a falsifiable lie for a day three advantage or move is just so extra, i really don't see it happening but i’d rather prepare for the worst than expect the best. delving into pre swap clownery isn't cute, but it seems to be happening nonetheless.

the middle of two extremes is that she’s in a majority alliance and told them in a chat, then told people one on one to build trust.

i don’t even know what to make of it. we’ll see, i guess but something is up and it could be a mess. i just get… weird vibes from this tribe. i looked into everyone’s first episode of their original season to see if they were alliance starters or joiners, and everyone but jared was someone recruited into rather the starting the majority alliance so that makes the idea that we’re just alliance-less a little more plausible but idk. its day 4 on a returnee season. my main fear is if i try to start something, i might be making it on top of something else so it’s better to build pockets of trust like i’m trying to with jake and cali than take control. if i had to take a swing, i’d say maybe jared/jake/wendy have a trio with cali as a fourth? i don’t even know. i need a swap so i can flip on these people LMFAO.

"culzean"

- OK so Sharky went last tribal & he was like "omg i was totally coming after you because you're gonna be a threat!" and im like um....damn bitch i didn't even do anything yet LMFAO! but anyways he gave Grace and I his blessing and now Culzean is down to 5! I'm trying to keep up on talking to everyone but lowkey Grace is lowkey drunk like all the time lmao and Trace is never really here but i love talking to Sydney and Jamie. it's the 3 of us vs. the 2 of them if we go to tribal but hopefully we can get a win with this next challenge which is unscrambling a survivor phrase within in 60 seconds! Pray for us!

"kisimul"

- I made a little stick idol. Just a little sidejob.

"culzean"

- Oof. I didn't expect to feel as bad as I did when Sharky headed out the door but I am constantly reminded of the savagery of this game lol. I think it's good that our vote was 5-1 because it shows to the other tribes that we're unity, and should hopefully motivate us to continue to work hard in challenges.

The truth of the matter is that I still don't fully trust Tyler or Sydney. They are both awesome people but I just truly don't think they plan on being loyal to me in the slightest, and I will probably continue to be afraid of them for as long as they're in the game. If anything good came from this vote, it's that I at least have a majority on my tribe now with Jamie and Grace. God forbid we lose again, but if we do I THINK I am in a good place to make it at least one more round.

In other news, I am fucking annoyed that I cannot find this damn idol. I never EVER have good luck with this shit, and clearly this season is no exception. It would be nice just to have a little extra cushion but I guess for now I've got to rely on social skills (gross).

thanks for reading :) xoxo trace

"kisimul"

- WHEN THE CHALLENGE CAME OUT I WAS SO HIGH AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT. WHEN I FINALLY SOBERED UP IN THE MORNING, I STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT. i literally asked for clarification from the hosts, tyler, ally r and szymon LMAO. I practiced with a note pad and thought i would at least get 10 words done, but I literally FLOPPED. 60 seconds felt like 10. If we lose, I don't think i'll leave but I really hate standing out as a flop bc that gives people a reason to throw your name out. i dont want to give ppl a reason to throw my name out and i def did the worst on my tribe......so gr8. let's just hope we don't lose and someone on the other tribe is more of an idiot than me.

"glamis"

- luckily, i’ve talked more with cali since my confessional twelve hours ago. i think just not hearing from her for sixteen hours after giving her a fake idol sent me into a bit of a panic because that is a huge gap of time to think on game information without a semblance of reciprocity. i do think she is leaving if we win immunity, but our current hope is that she’ll be joined by TJ or Szymon. maybe her not telling the tribe is a sign she told an alliance chat instead. who knows. i’m a walking frenzy of paranoia hyper-analyzing everything like calm collected jake on kariba has truly been outsold. now its every potential scenario analyzed aLMFAO.

tbf.. this tribe is truly an interpretive dance on a minefield of social-strategic quagmires because it’s either overtly complex in that i’m in minority, or overtly simple in that minority doesn't exist. and that is the mess. its ok. im allowed a bad game at the beginning. its my growth arc?

we pray we're not going to tribal. some ppl telling me they have my back. do they? idk! we'll find out!

Day 5
"kisimul"

- Okay so something happened between Sinai and now because my social game has rapidly improved. Maybe it's because I'm a little drunk, but everyone is coming to talk to The Incinerator. The crowd can't get enough of me.

We are at tribal council but not only that, we are joined by the lovely Cali Smithe. She's here because she screwed up something at The Castle and now she's a potential target as punishment.

Of course, like everyone now, she's approached me. She's a hella nice girl and I can see in her eyes that's she gutted to be in her position. I just feel so sorry for her because it's obvious that it's in our best interest to boot this gal!

Sooo that's what we're gonna do.

Sidenote: Ally definitely wants to work with me. I believe Jenna may want to do so too. That's just my luck, ay?

Incinerator out.

"fyvie"

- So the results are in for the second challenge andddd we are safe. With a difference of one point, we took third place. I am honestly relieved that we don't have to go to Tribal Council because it's still too early to vote anyone out from Fyvie. I mean, I was so worried that I didn't want to sleep before the results were announced. I didn't wanna wake up and find out everyone else has decided to vote me out because for the past two challenges, that has happened to me. I woke up and found out I have to do these challenges without having a say in it. Like decisions were made for me. I understand some decisions are made based on what's best for the tribe, but to be thrown into something without much consideration is no fun. If i mess up the challenge, I'll get voted out and even if I do good in the challenge, there is still the possibility of getting voted out. So the only choice I have is to just do it and give my all! Right now, all I want to do is to just do my very best and get to the merge.

"glamis"

- SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED LET ME TRY TO UPDATE YOU AS BEST I CAN CAUSE THIS IS A MESS So after spending days being in my feelings (by drake) about this twist, I decide to get OUT of my feelings and take this head on. Then I get put on the exact tribe I didn’t want to be put onto….LOOKS AT JENNA I AM ON THIS TRIBE AND EVERYONES NICE AND ALL AND SHIT BUT JENNA IS MAKING IT SO OBVIUS THAT SHE WANTS ME OUT BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED ON ANGEL FALLS. Like Jenna if im not correct in this PLS LEMME KNOW WHEN THE SEASON IS DONE I would STAN a call out session from you BUT IM ON THIS TRIBE, THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PUT THERE FAKE SMILES ON BUT IK THEY’RE VOTING ME OUT. I HAD A PLAN BUT THAT PLAN ISN’T GOING TO WORK ANYMORE I JUST NEED TO TRY MY BEST

Also bless Dani cause I really think out of everyone she GENUINELY wants to see me stay! -Anyway I’m gonna go eat some cereal while I cry myself a river! BTW THE BITCH IS NOT GIVING UP IM GONNA GET THIS SHIT DONE

"glamis"

- What a day!!!!!! SO many things have happened.

I thought my score was kinda bad for the challenge, BUT turns out it wasn’t half bad at ALL!!! These other tribes better STEP IT UP.

Speaking of tribes. I actually LOVE Glamis. We have some really great, fun, people on our tribe. We’re a little quiet, and I think people are playing safe right now, but slowly we’re making some moves.

My number 1 is definitely Cali — who tragically has to be included in tribal council today. I’ll be SO SHOOK if she gets voted out — you will witness my heart breaking if she leaves.

After that I have Jakey. He seems like a pretty cool guy. I don’t know if I fully trust him but he hasn’t given me a reason not too. I do think however, that he is being a little too nice. I have a feeling that his niceness isn’t totally genuine, I’ll be keeping a close eye on him.

Then today I solidified a deal with Jared — mostly I did this in case Cali leaves, than I still have two people on my side. If she does stay than the majority of our tribe has said they would not vote me out (hopefully) if we do ever go to a tribal council. I also think that I can trust Jared. He may quickly become higher on my list of allies than Jakey. We have been talking quite a bit and I think that he is a very genuine person.

I was slightly worried about my position in the tribe because I’m older than everyone by quite a bit and definitely not the best at comps, but after seeing that my tribe chose me for the castle this week I am thinking that maybe it could mean I’m well liked??? OR they were hoping I’d get a punishment. Either way after solidifying the deal with Jared today I feel a bit more comfortable with my place in this tribe!

Finally today I went to the castle — Queen Joanna was there.. I didn’t get a power, but I also didn’t get a punishment which is fine with me!!! It does make me wonder though what everyone else has been coming across in there. Hopefully not anything too powerful!

Anyways — that’s it for now. ❤️

"kisimul"

- Eh we lost the challenge, and i felt so bad after it happened because i felt like we would lose because of me. Luckly, i wasn't the worst and that doesn't put the target on my back even tho just in case i was already prepared for how could i use my weakness as my power force. Now that we have to attempt TC SO MUCH IS HAPPENING! Cali pops in our tribe out of no where and even if she seems like such an easy vote it's definitely not going to be so. There are two options - Byron or Cali to go home. Cali obviously for the reason of trying to weaken other tribes and still giving us an opportunity to keep an easy vote for another time which would be Byron. And Byron because he's sketchy and boring af and no one would want to be stuck with him if a tribe swap happens. PERSONALLY im starting to leaning towards keeping Cali over Byron. Which is much of a risker route but definitely would bring more benefits to my game longterm wise. Cali apparently is on the bottom with Chelsea and i would LOVE to play the game together with Chelsea down the road. This vote is going to be so important and everyone finally started to play and im living for it. Either way it goes, it seems like its going to be unanimous because everyone will want to be on the same board

"kisimul"

- Also, the dillema of getting Byron out is who would eventually be next to go. Which in this case would be either Ally or Tyler and its important that neither are gonna feel this way. At this point i feel much closer with Ally especially since she actually revealed to me that Byron approached her to work together since they are the few 2nd timers. which logically leads me to believe that he probably approached Tyler with the same thing, but Tyler didnt say a word about it. Tyler is also a gamer. He wants to have a solid ground in case we vote out Byron and is highkey already hinting to me about making an alliance that would ensure our safety in case Byron goes and we lose again. But tbh if i will have my way then Tyler is going to leave over Ally next

"glamis"

- This is frustrating as fuck. I am literally offering up my ENTIRE GAME TO JENNA, and she really is not even hiding the fact that she is not buying my bullshit. I know there are probably a million side convos being had on the side, but right now heres just my perspective on where everyones at in regards to keeping me (mind you im delusional, you are not allowed to judge its hereditary) Byron: I mean considering his response after I asked him if I should be worried was, “Well..brb im going to write a confessional.” Is a pretty healthy response that he is voting against me. Byron-1 cali-1 Ally: I don’t know about her. She’s perfectly nice and I enjoy talking to her, I just can’t get a good read on where her heads at. I think with some more effort I can tip the scale and really make her triggered about Byron potentially staying. So ill just give this one to me for NOW Byron-2 Cali-1 Szymon: I trust him. If I can get the rest of these numbers I got him too. Byron-3 Cali-1 Tyler Stacks: He’s great! Similar situation to Szymon Byron- FOUR Cali-1 Dani and Jenna are questionable. They seem to be the two that hold the REAL influence over this tribe. Dani wants to keep me and I adore her for that, but if Jenna doesn’t want to do the same I DON’T SEE DANI GOING AGAISNT HER meaning that Ally votes me out meaning that this whole thing fails. I’m gonna continue to work on Jenna and see where that gets me. Oh ya, I also have one more surprise…I’ll reveal that tomorrow 😉

"kisimul"

- ok so we lost immunity surprise surprise... apparently jenna got like no poitns KJDSGHDFKJS but thats ok tbh i think its good we're going to tribal bc i never personally feel safe and this gives me a good idea of where the tribes at as of right now.

I want byron gone soooooo badly. like hes nice and shit but the thing is is that hes just.... hard to talk to and his wiki page lowkey scared me how he said he just wants to be a wildcard... i dont want a 100% wildcard on my tribe. this aint bgo no m'am

the twist with cali actually puts a lot of this into perspective and really adds a new element to the game, because i feel like this is giving us an opportunity to try and get in good with a few others on other tribes, but may end up screwing me over in the long run with MY tribe. I'm glad to have my alliance with szy and jenna because i feel like they legit listen to me and hear me out well !~! Tyler seems onboard with voting byron out tbh, and cali seems to just want tostay alive and im lowkey wanting to just keep her over byron because ik if i was in her position, i would promise anyone anything and then be obliged to keepo the promises. i feel like she may feel like she owes us something if we save her/be a number for us, so if we keep her thats her on another tribe, and possibly chelsea too apparently !!!

theres a lot of pros and cons to this tribal tho. so i think ill sleep on it for now and hopefully be able to see which option is better for the long term game !!

"kisimul"

- This vote is driving me nuts, i keep changing my mind literally every 10 min. And most importantly this tribal is also going to have a HUGE effect on the rest of the pre merge, because its going to show a lot to everyone. I rather look at my game 5 steps ahead and i see much more possible good coming from keeping Cali longterm wise UGH. The only people who i believe woudnt benefit from keeping Cali for are Tyler and Ally since one of them would be most likely to leave next (preferably tyler for me). Plus this is a chance for our tribe to prove that we are in this season for a season, and we aren't just nobodies. We came to play and slay!! The only person i would need to get comfortable with this eventual plan is Jenna, since i can really tell that shes aganist that idea. Overall its going to be a very interesting day

"fyvie"

- The dust has settled into a startling normalcy after the below-the-surface TJ scandal. The plebeians are headed to tribal and I'm subtly hoping that someone like Ally who is usually a power player that makes it far goes. It'll probably be someone eccentric and seemingly out of place like Byron though lol.

As stated previously TJ at least superficially seems to be on board with Bryce and Audrey again -- the three person cluster of B, A and myself has gone quiet. I hope they don't think I stirred up that whole thing just to divide them from TJ, like that was a benefit of unveiling the scheme but TJ also provided a justifiable launchpad to do so.

Oh and no luck with the idol yet. It's highly likely been found despite my best efforts.

At this rate we very well could be avoiding tribal until the swap. SHOULD we lose, I don't think I'm in a terrible position, but there's a chance we could be heading into the hectic part of the game with 6 Fyvie's (post-swap gameplay in returnee seasons has appeared to be quite cutthroat and intense in games I've observed) which will potentially bind us together out of necessity and render alot of my previous tribal ruminations irrelevant (unless I'm truly swapfucked with someone I'm meh on, in which case I would be willing to subtly throw them under the bus), BUT those who I'm meh on right now may have to become essential allies and we'll bond.

Maybe it's too early to make that call, probably is haha, we're not doing THAT amazingly in the challenges and the margins have been thin.

Final note: noticing a trend that more of the old schoolers are being sent to the castle of oblivion, they may be subtly having each-others back or something. Yikers.

"fyvie"

- S50 Day 5 Confessional

"kisimul"

- Oh my god why does jenna have to be so hesistant on saving Cali like does she have a secret showmance with Byron??? Dani and Ally seem to be on board, Tyler i feel like won't be much opposed to it and Jenna is pretty much the last puzzle of piece to make this move happen (getting rid of Byron). Jenna is an important person for my gameplay and i really like her so i need to find a way to make her feel comfortable with this vote without pushing too hard at the same time.. This is such a mess and i love it.

"glamis"

- People who needed to be blessed in life: Szymon Dani People who need to prove to be blessed in life: Tyler stacks Ally

People who BLATANTLY WANT ME OUT AND ARE NOT MAKING IT A SECRET: FUCKING BYRON JENNA

—- Sorry that was aggressive. Aggression leads to wrinkles and that’s ugly.

Anyway I’m really selling this fake story that “my og tribe has an all male alliance” and I think it’s working? It may come to bite me in the butt later on but for now anything that I have to say to get these people to keep me is a MUST

Also Byron is a whole mood. Had more to say on him but he truly has me speechless in every way

"kisimul"

- Seems like the plan to blindside Byron is leading towards success. Everyone's on board. Even Jenna after i spent an hour listing her possible benefits for OUR games but shes been dry with me this entire time so i can just smell that she's not fully comfortable with this plan. She didn't talk to me since either so MEH. I have to give credits to Cali as well because she's done a good job given the situation she was put into. She shared with me lots of info and i feel like shes geniune with me. I'd love to link up with her and Chelsea down the road. Overall Today i played much harder than how i expected and im exhausted. Time to nap again gn zzz "kisimul"

- Little bird told me that Cali is aligned with Chelsea. So now if I ever get to meeting her I'm sure we'll be able to make friends.

I made a small part-time alliance with Ally since we're both newbies with little connections so that's good too. Don't wanna tell her too much though.

Getting my social game on point is heavily important for the future. Like I always say: If you ain't thinking forward, you ain't thinking straight. "fyvie"

- I'm not making confessionals not because I'm boring but because things in my tribe are boring. The joys of being in a small tribe that wins I guess. Not that I can complain. But being asked to make a confessional in those circumstances is a bit hard. Strongest relationship at this point is with Elias. I'm the most comfortable to talk strategy with him. I'd say my relationships with Bryce and TJ declined a bit. TJ seems less active and Bryce as well. I'm often the one to reach out and I don't want to over do it. Sarah is still leaving me on read most of the time. I've talked a bit more with Jessica so that is fun. Anxious for the next immunity because I can't sit down and I will literally have two hours to do it while tipsy .... Also it is hard to fake looking for an idol to Bryce and Elias. I always forget how many guesses I am at and stuff. If we were to go to tribal next I wouldn't feel 100% confident in being safe... But I don't want to waste my idol... Not sure what I would do, yet. I guess I can't predict how people will act once we go to tribal. It will be a hard decision no matter what. Anyway I'm a little bored but I promise I'm not boring. Just don't see a need to overplay it at the moment.

"fyvie"

- So right now I'm feeling okay about my tribe. I don't think I'm invincible by any means and when we go to tribal I'll be scared/paranoid, but I think I'm in a good spot overall. Anyways, so after the mess that was caused by TJ, Audrey told me she thinks something is fishy about Elias's story. I believe Elias 100% because I know TJ is going to play messy, but I played along so now our plan is to still get rid of either Sarah or Jessica if we lose a challenge. In short, I'm in a good position as long as nothing crazy happens.

"culzean"

- OKAY so this round has been interesting kinda. the idol clue came out and it's basically pointing to ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE CAVE. so im focusing my search on the cave. the way i view it is, im sooo bad at these things that i may as well do the OPPOSITE of what my gut is telling me, and that'll be right. does that make sense? no but i know what i mean. + me/sydney are coordinating our idol guesses and all seems to be good!!!! i also went to the castle and didnt get anything good, BUT i didnt get anything bad and knowing my luck with stuff like that... im happy w/ the result. i mean in arch i went to rishiri like 8 times, and got like 4 negative stuff and 1 positive SO a neutral is fine by me.

im also kinda shocked we won immunity LMFAO. i sucked ass at the challenge but sydney carried us so i guess it really was a good move to keep her last round. generally i think keeping sydney was a really beneficial move for me - shes loyal to me and im 99% sure im her no.1, whereas it was really difficult to know where sharky's head was at. SO im content with the result and the outcome is that im getting all her idol guesses to cross off idol locations. loving life rn??????????

"glamis"

- If I survive this tribal (BIG IF) the lies I told to everyone to get through this round are definitely going to come back to bite me in the butt..... ..... ... .. oh well!

"glamis"

- Day 5 Pray4Cali

"glamis"

- The past few days have been pretty quiet and too chill for me. In my past 2 seasons so much stuff had already happened on my beginning tribes and I prefer it like that because at least then I have a better read, the quiet is basically making me paranoid just because I can't tell if I'm on the outs or if things are actually just chill. I'm hoping something happens soon to make it a bit more exciting but I'm not going out of my way to do it and have it backfire on me so we'll just have to wait and see. Before the challenge results came out me and Chelsea started talking and she told me she was scared of being voted out because she thinks shes the worst at challenges so I used this to my advantage and told her I'd rather loyalty over challenge strength and this lead to us making an agreement to not vote each other out whenever we go to tribal. So just in case I end up flopping on a challenge and get us sent there, she'll hopefully look back and see that I was willing to keep her even if she wasn't great at challenges. So I was happy we won the challenge and even happier that I scored one of the highest scores, pretty proud of my typing skills there. But it sucks because we could still be losing a member with Cali's punishment and she wouldn't be my first choice to go out of the people on our tribe. I thought about possibly throwing the challenge when she first told me about it because of that but I just felt like it was too risky this early in the game and I'm a selfish player. I'm still hoping she pulls through but if not, we talked about her going out with a bang so that could be entertaining, I just wish I was there to see it.

"kisimul"

- so we lost the challenge huh.... my score was good this is not my fault @jenna with 6 my god this was not that hard of a challenge.... and losing by 1 is so shitty lol i hate

miss cali has come to join us and wow she’s iconic i stan her, she likes glee and disney sooooo i’m gonna befriend her and i think we r killing byron

byron approached me and said we should stick together cuz we’ve both only played once but sis maybe you should’ve like spoken to me or anyone before tribal time instead of just leaving me and others on read and not socializing BLSJSJSKS

szymon is still a king and i luv him, dani is great and it’s nice to not b against each other or have shitty drama in the ssn (yet anyway), jenna and tyler r icons too

i feel like voting out byron makes sense bc cali is at least able to carry a conversation and like play the game and talk to people, idk if byron’s busy or shy or what but he’s just not putting in that effort w ppl rip!

cali says that her and chelsea are on the bottom of her tribe and that there’s a men’s alliance, idk how tru this is but if it is? fuck them. feminism will prevail.

"culzean"

- AHHH! I was busy all day yesterday and a lot of today so I’m a tad late, but good things are happening right now!!

Firstly, I survived, yay! It was crazy like, everyone was kind of giving me these half-ass answers all day until I started making traction with Tyler and Grace. Jamie genuinely helped me stay a lot and got Trace on board as well, who I heard was not happy about me staying despite him saying that’s what he always wanted. Sharky leaving was sad, but he clearly didn’t have my back if he was out to get me, so not that sad. However now I’m in quite a spot on my tribe now. Trace and Grace are an obvious duo, but I think unless Trace and Grace are blind and deaf, they should see Jamie and Tyler as one as well. That makes me #3 for both sides! Hopefully people will realize I’m not useless and can be useful!

Along with that, I’m literally the reason our tribe won. Like, the fact that everyone but Grace got like 10s is, so sad. So the fact that I’m a fast typer literally saved us and I love it, I think people are pretty grateful to me right now and I’m okay with that. Of course, this tribe isn’t the brightest of bulbs, so I could honestly still be on the chopping block after all this.

Tyler and Jamie are the ones I am solid with right now alliance wise. I really don’t trust Grace or Trace all that much at all, and I know Tyler is a huge threat. I want to keep Jamie close to me because she’s also a huge threat, but she’s someone people will go for sooner or later. I know she has this reputation of being a mega villain, but I can work with that.

"kisimul"

- Hi I have some things to complain about. So literally within milliseconds of Cali entering the tribe, Dani says she still wants to vote Byron, and was pushing for him hardcore straight away. Szymon was being more lowkey about it but Dani was not playing LMAO.. anyways I really enjoyed talking to Cali and think she's cool, we aren't far from swap and honestly I'd much rather be on a swapped tribe with her than with Byron who is a thumping bore / sketchy and whom I can't communicate with. But I made it clear that my thing is, I'm fine with voting Byron as long as we establish who'd be on the bottom if we lost again, or form some sort of majority of 3-4. I talked about it with Szy and he seemed really down for it and told me that he'd talk to Jenna and Dani about it and there was never a follow-up. Also according to Jenna he didn't approach her about it... And when I talked to Dani about how I felt she was just being super awkward and dodging the question and I just feel uncomfy right now because of the fact that Dani was pushing hella hard for Byron to go which doesn't really make sense to me if she doesn't know who would be on the bottom next, (because Cali would be leaving our tribe obv.) So it just makes me feel like she already does have a majority or something and it doesn't involve me. If I'm right then I don't think it includes Jenna either cause we talked a lot of shit about this situation and I think she's been pretty honest with me. Idkkk ideally I hoped to come out of this tribal with a majority of everyone but Ally and I'd feel pretty comfy but it looks like that ain't happening. I just hope I'm wrong about this, or that we never go to tribal again, or that we swap. In the meantime my goal for now will just be getting closer with Dani / Szy than I already am cause I really don't wanna go lmao. I would say I'll try to get close to Ally but I know that's physically impossible considering this is what every single conversation with Ally ever looks like https://prnt.sc/lfqc38 I'm just ... in awe everytime she replies to me.
