My Little Amiracle/Confessionals

These are the confessionals made within this episode.

Day 1
"tambo"

- Oh look, it's everyone's favourite All-Star back to win over even more fans! I want to start by dedicating this confessional to Amir. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that I could play again. That's true friendship. My little Amiracle <3

Anyway, I am so ready to channel my inner Jenna Lewis and just ruin this for everyone. I don't really have a strategy going into this. With so many All-Stars doing their All-Star thing I don't think you can really set a single course and just march straight down it. Survivor is about adaptability. Everyone coming into this game has advantages and disadvantages. You've got to be able to turn those disadvantages to your favour. I come into this game as - statistically-speaking - one of the worst players, which is just so typical of my life. Gerard and I have equal placings for our original seasons, and Lloyd is the only other contestant to have placed lower on his original season. But then he came back and won so.... my turn? It's possible people may see me as less deserving of being here than others, or a weak link. But at the same time, they may also see me as a non-factor and non-threat. Basically I want to capitalise on that for as long as possible. I think one of my biggest advantages in this game is that I don't NEED to be an All-Star. I'm not chasing respect or glory and I can check my ego at the door. If people want to think of me as a non-threat then I'll be cheering them on. I'm acting naive: asking whom people's partner is in the first challenge as if I don't even know who's from which season. All-Star seasons tend towards eliminating the big threats early on so here's hoping people can't be bothered targeting me.

I think the game is only in first gear at the moment, everyone seems a little cautious and holding back a little. Apparently, most people are throwing the reward challenge for fear that having the idol clue paints a target on their back. Aren't you people the best of the best? And everyone's losing their shit over an idol clue? Alejandro wants to us to throw the challenge as well and at first I was going to go along with that but I don't want to slip into old habits. I was too passive in Korea and let others take charge. Is everyone really throwing the challenge? Well let me call their bluff and I'll win and take the damn clue. And if Alejandro is determined to reduce his threat status, well why not shove him right into the spotlight? This is All-Stars! It's supposed to be difficult! I can't imagine everyone is throwing the challenge but it lets me know that people are already talking shop with one another. Alejandro says people are throwing the challenge... so Alejandro has been talking to people about their plans. Loose lips sink ships. If he's trying to amass another 'super-alliance' then I am going to tank that thing so hard. We're competing to be the sole Survivor, not to gather the biggest clique. So game on moles. First boot or first place, I will always call you out on your bullshit.

"tambo"

- Well, so the cast's been out for about a day now. They're definitely an interesting bunch, but I think I can deal with them. Current goal: don't be first boot. Uli bugs me, he keeps on (jokingly?) saying he wants to target me first, and then next he says he wants to take me and Gerda? to F3 just so he can "proove i am the stronger gender." Yeah, sure. Keep talking, it only makes the anticipation and excitement of the thought of voting you out stronger.

"tambo"

- So, All-Stars hasn't really started yet, and I'm already feeling pretty good about this game. Just talking to some past players, who aren't in All-Stars, I have heard both sides of everything. That Adam and I are going to be viewed as targets because we are the ones with the quickest turnaround, or, we won't be viewed as targets at all, because of the same reasoning. I have talked with a couple people since reveal, and everyone seems really cool. I just keep getting info from everyone outside the game on who to trust, who not to trust and what not. I have learned in Polynesia, not to trust anyone really. It is really difficult to want to judge people on their past seasons, but that is all I can go off of.

It is a little too early for me to start being strategic or anything, especially since tribes haven't been announced yet. But more than likely, I'm going to be the exact same person I was in Polynesia. Humble, excited, nice, and a challenger. My only difference that I know I'm going to do, is not be walked on. I will still be nice, and play this game as Rupert-like as I can. I like being compared to one of my favorite players, and I hope to continue that comparison, but make no mistake, if I have to become ruthless in this game, then be prepared, because there is always room for the ORG version of the Survivor Pirate in the Final Tribal Council.

In Polynesia, my main goal was top 5, but wanting to win. I got 6th. This time, I'm going to win... Not just because it is what I want to do or anything, but as of right now, Chris and Adam, and possibly Jay are the only ones who believe I deserve to be in All-Stars from my original season. Everyone else is either bitter they didn't get in, or they just don't comprehend that most of my game was played on the inside, and I didn't make many visible moves. I have to prove to them that I was the best choice to represent my season.

This is gonna be one hell of a ride...

- Well well well, what a surprise. Since my original season, I've been slightly distancing myself from the Wiki, only posting a few bitchy comments on the FB page, complaining about stuff, and I haven't made that many new bonds.

However, we were gathered for the Cast Announcement, I was happy to see a couple familiar faces: Uli, my lovely season partner, the beautiful Gerda, Sharkeisha, who dominated the challenges in Cote d'Ivoire, and Alejandro, who started talking to me very recently.

When I received the invitation for All-Stars, I was really happy I got to compete again, and this time, I'm glad to see that I have some more serious competition. I didn't really spend too much time trying to think of a fool-proof strategy, but I did have a little mental checklist of things I want to do this season:

• Ally with the winners - I'm really not here for losers who feel like they have so much to prove to the entire ORG community. • Flirt with one or more dudes - I didn't get to do that on my season because the only guy who had even a slight doubt about his sexuality was freaking Szymon... And I only found that out when the results of the crossword challenge were revealed. So this time, I'm hoping to play the flirt card, but I still have to make some research about who to play it with~ I don't think there are many people though, but it'll have to do.

• Break.the.egos - During and after png, I noticed that a few people started to inflate their actions throughout the game, like Angeleo or Lucas. A lot of wiki users also have the tendency to ask what everyone thinks about them and their game on the FB page and it irritates the shit out of me, because they don't have the necessary self-awareness to realise that maybe no one really thinks anything about them unless they spend colossal amounts of time telling their story to whoever wants to hear it. This time, if I detect the slight bit of self-importance, I'll make it my personal task to put an end to it... But there is one exception to that: Uli. Last time, I needed to swallow my pride to save myself in the long run and I preferred to keep it intact without trying any desperate scrambling with him. This time, however, I don't care. I outlasted him once, I can do it again, and even if I don't, I have nothing to prove to him. When the confessionals were released, he confessed that my read on him was a lot better than he thought. Also, things are different this time: we get to start the game without tribes, so I can ally myself with him and let his slight arrogance and power hunger get the best of him later on without having to get my hands dirty.

• Have fun - I wasn't totally satisfied with my confessionals last time, so I'll put slightly more effort into them this season. I love competing, but narrating is even funnier. I hope I can be successful while having this philosophy, so maybe people will stop being so worried about how they're perceived on the Wiki, and will enjoy the ORG experience for what it is.

"tambo"

- We're gathered together for the first time and the lovely Vogt was chosen to unveil the first twist on our asses: we're not split into tribes right away, and on top of that, we're competing with our Season partner. My first instinct is... THANK - YOU - JESUS: I'm elated that my partner is somewhat competent at challenges. And by somewhat, I mean extremely. It's a good opportunity to bond together and I know what he can do with Idols, so... if we win, I'm giving the clue to everyone on my future tribe, which might not even be that much of a big deal since he might find it right away.

My biggest concern, however, is that this format will facilitate and maybe encourage cross-tribal alliances. It's like we have 24 hours to make pre-game alliances, in a way... and god knows in what state they'll be at the merge.

This being said, at least I get a day to bond with the winners and the potential LGBT people around here to tick at least two boxes on my checklist.

In the spirit of the Olympics, let the games begin!

"tambo"

- One, that name for the account is weird. Otherwise, two, here's the confessional. You'll notice that I put confessionals in quotes.

"Well, this is interesting. I take a three hour nap, the season starts and I have a flood of messages on my Facebook. So currently, I have an alliance with Johan-Amir, Gerda and Adam. Then a single one with Henzzy, another with Sole. Then one with Alejandro and Hunter (apparently the Secret Society 2.0). Let the games begin. Alliances and socializing is the thing I'm best at in this game, give me a few hours, and I'll have someone's full trust. Anyways, Hunter and I talked and we agreed to throw the challenge so that we won't have any additional targets on our back. We're also going to lie that we weren't allied in All-Stars Qual, that I was allied with Des in f4, and he with Blake. Hopefully people will be stupid and then Hunter and I will be able to run this town."

Ash got cocky.

"tambo"

- So, this challenge was very difficult, especially since I played right after an 11 hour shift at work. But, I'm not gonna make any excuses. In this challenge, Adam had told me he got a 101, and then a 100... Literally, like 20 seconds after he sent in his 100, I got a 99. We talked it over, and determined that we are not going to try to win this reward challenge. If we were to win, and get the clue, just like in Blood vs. Water, the clue is a poison. That is why they burned it each time. So, we are going to turn in our 100 and 99.

I have decided, and after long discussion with Adam, we are going to stick together. Him and Ted started out together, and he has proven to be loyal to his original alliance. We have decided, because we feel like we are probably 2 of the best challenge competitors, and because we are planning on going super far in this game together, we are going to call ourselves the "Pair of Aces."

Adam has been confronted about alliances from quite a few people. I have only really been confronted by Sharky. So, this shows that Adam has either more options, or a bigger target on his back. I'm going to assume the latter. I'm hoping with the tribe reveal, we are both put into positions where we can get comfortable. I just know that as new people, we will either be targeted by the veterans from the early seasons, or they will try to bring back old grudges against each other. I'm hoping we aren't targeted, but we won't find out until later.

The hardest part is knowing who I can trust. And the only person I can trust is Adam. I'm hoping that with our challenge prowess, and my social abilities, we can get into a comfortable alliance, and stay safe until merge. Then we will be the most powerful duo this ORG has ever seen. But, that is also looking very far ahead. In this game, we have to play for the now, and make most of our decisions for the end game. In Polynesia, alot of people made moves for immediate security, rather than take a slight risk, take a vote or two, and set themselves up for a better game near the end. And that is my goal. I'm not out here to try and get a perfect game. I'm out here to win. If I have to take some votes, but set myself up for the victory, I will not hesitate.

This game has just barely started, and I'm not out here to take pity on people. We are all selected as All-Stars for a reason, and if I have to exploit some downfalls of people, I will. I want to be viewed as one of the greatest Heroes in this ORG, but if I must drop that, then I must. I enjoy the walk of the hero, but I'm in this for the victory. I'm gonna prove to all my supporters that they chose wisely, and to all my doubters that they were sorely mistaken, and they can SUCK IT. I'm here, I'm gonna kick ass, and I'm gonna show everyone exactly what I am capable of.
