Draw For Your Lives/Confessionals

Day 9
"askja"

- Today our immunity challenge is a drawing challenge. We each get to draw a person from the Súlur tribe. I get to draw Ridgeway! I'm working pretty hard on my drawing to make sure it is the best as it can be. I've told my tribe mates to "draw for your lives." We cannot afford to go to a second straight Tribal Council. My goal in this phase of the game is to stay away from there as much as possible. Tribal Council can expose a lot about a tribe or an individual. My tribe mates shared a lot of there drawings. A lot of them look winnable. The only person who doesn't have confidence in himself is Isaac. He keeps hinting at us that his drawing isn't good or he can't draw. You should never reveal personal flaws like that. Especially when you are on thin ice. I'm telling you a lot of these kids mouths are gonna ruin their games or even someone else's.

Speaking of kids. A few days ago I thought I was be far the oldest. In one of TJs drawings he showed us is a selfie of himself. This guy is definitely around my age or so. Luckily he's on my side as far as I know. I should have known since he is a law student lol! He's a good friend in this game. I just gotta watch certain things I say around him and keep a close eye on him.

"askja"

- -Well I'm still here on Day 9, Episode 4. I feel like I've done this before... Oh yeah, well at least this time, I'm making it further into the game. On the bad side, today's challenge might be the worst thing for me. Art. I'm not really the draw-y type of person. Hopefully my poor performance in this challenge won't make me Van Gogh Home.

- So yesterday in tribe chat before Jake was voted out there was a huge fight between Ian and Jake. Which only benefits me in game. I think our tribe is really disfunctional for now and really weak. And for this moment it seems like Liam and Ian are running things, but.. not for long anymore. Right now the priority is to win immunity. However we have a backup plan with Trace and Matthew to blondisde Ian, while i keep Ian close and he plans to split the vote.... Im saying whatever he wants. But his days in game are numbered.

"sulur"

- I'm loving my new Súlur tribe. We're so much more fun than that other team, we are the superior tribe, I think we are much more creative so we should have no trouble with this challenge. I can't wait to see the other team crumble.

"askja"

- Oh man, where to begin? Well the School Yard Pick ended up going pretty well for me. The Askja tribe selected Szymon and Jake, both whom I am aligned with (Not together but separately). We also added Isaac, someone who I believe will be willing to work with me since I had his back on Baula. I’m feeling like I’m in a good position and have decent relationships with mostly everyone on my new tribe. Askja is looking good. When it came time for the Immunity Challenge, that’s where we hit our first wall. We started the challenge out strong but our momentum didn’t last very long. We fell apart pretty bad and ended up getting our butts whooped. It was a hard loss and to make matters worse, we had to go to Tribal Council. Since the Tribal Swap in Peru is where I lost all control of my game, I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again. Szymon believed he could pull in Matthew, Julia, Mikey, and maybe Trace to vote with us. I wanted to include Jake in that group since he was part of TBD, but somehow he became target number one ( since the other tribe got to send someone to be immune on Exile Island; they picked Isaac who most likely would have been voted out) with pretty much everyone on the tribe. I tried to deflect some of the votes off of him but it was not going to happen. I had to vote out Jake to make sure I stayed with the majority of the tribe. I don’t want to put a target on my back at this point by voting against the numbers, even if Jake is in my alliance. It sucked that he had to go but it’s part of the game. Jake was a cool dude and I really liked the guy but alas, this was his time to go. Now I am making sure to continue to build solid relationships with the rest of my tribe, and making sure Szymon and I are on the same page. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out. IT’S GAME ON!!!

"askja"

- Tribal council was crazy. Jake showed the tribe the fake hidden immunity idol I gave him. Giving him the idol was the worst thing I have done in my two seasons of Survivor. We had a 45 minute argument, where I made a ton of great points, making myself look like the good guy. We ended up calling it a "truce". Luckily, he is gone. The one thing that worries me is how he said he was always honest. Perhaps Liam lied to me? I will have my eye out on him.

So our challenge is to draw a picture of someone on the other tribe, which for me is George and vice versa. Since I always call him the "Prince of Pink", I decided to draw him that way. He is going to like it, and hopefully the judges like it.

Apparently with Exile Island, the same person cant be sent twice in a row. So Askja had to decide in advance who we will send to Exile if we win. TJ suggested Tyler, an option I love since Tyler is in the Guardians of Salvation. Now if I can get on Exile, then we have so fun to be had.

Day 10
"askja"

- We won our first immunity as the new Askja tribe!! It feels so great and it boosts our teams moral! We ended up sending Ridgeway to Exile Island while he chose to take TJ with him.

This win is very nice for me personally because it means I will make it past day 10. I only lasted 10 days the first time I played. So the improvement this season is still happening for me. Next goal is to get to final 17 and then beat that.

"sulur"

- What a crazy day. Perry tells me to vote Steve, Steve tells me Perry is rallying against me and we need to blindside Perry. I just hope that I stay in the game. The butcher must kill more pigs to remain the butcher. I am the butcher, I need to win and kill all these pigs(vote off all these people). Butcher kills pigs. Steve or Perry, One of them will have to oink.

"sulur"

- My tribe finally lost and things don't look to good for me. Mitchell told me and Jino about how Perry is shepherding an alliance of him, Ted, George, Eden, and Mitchell so it looks like I was kind of right about that Skype alliance. He also said that they told Nathan to vote me. It seemed liked a good idea for me, Mitchell, and Jino to get together with Nathan, and Zane to blindside Perry. However after pitching that idea to Nathan, he apparently runs off to Perry and throws me under the bus. Perry then basically threatens me by saying "I don't need you" and tells me to vote Nathan. So it now looks like that blindside idea is dead because of unreliable Nate and I could very well end up targeted tonight instead of him.

"sulur"

- My first Tribal Council in a long time, and I wanted to make a move. You can't play this game by pussyfooting around, and I was trying to stir the pot. The easy vote is Perry, but that's so bad for my long-term game - none of the people he is working with want the people I'm working with to last long. I want to keep Steve and I want to keep Jino, but the core is Perry, Ted, Eden, with George and Tyler fitting in somewhere there. Tyler is more out of the core than in, I'd imagine; those five have an alliance Tyler told me about, and Perry tried to form the same one with me but excluding Tyler. So to benefit my own game and my allies, I didn't want to make the easy vote and take Nathan out - I wanted to use him, as a number with Jino and Steve, and then hopefully swing Zane, to make a huge power move and take Perry out of this game. But moral of the story, that couldn't happen because Nathan sucks at life. I tried to throw him a bone and he ran with it, and ran with it far too far. He talked with both Steve and Perry about how one is coming after the other. So now no matter what, his attempts to turn the two against each other have made everyone unanimously feel like he can't even be of use. Nathan is going home now, literally everyone wants him gone, and I can't change their minds about it because working with Nathan is too big of a risk. He's unreliable, he's cancerous to our challenge performances, and despite the use he could've been to me, he couldn't keep his mouth shut long enough to not fuck it up.

"sulur"

- So, the plan is to vote for Nathan. And, I don't really care if he knows, I actually find it hilarious watching him get all upset about it. Perry, Tyler, and I are having fun with this, I love watching people suffer in this game because of me.

"askja"

- -I think the funniest thing about that challenge was the fact that I beat Steve in it. Now we're safe again and it feels awesome to not think about Tribal and idols and whatnot. Finally I can relax and celebrate the fact that I've made it to a double digit day.
