Parrot On My Shoulder/Confessionals

Day 6
"none"

- THANK THE LORD JESUS ABOVE OMG A SWAP YAS. I hate to say this but our tribe sucked ass and usually I love girls but most of these ones are pretty boring and hard to talk to so I'm super stoked

"none"

- I don't know how I feel about this tribe swap. On one hand it could be good because maybe I'll be on a tribe that actually wins challenges.. On the other hand I'm in a really good spot with my tribe and feel safe with them

"none"

- So I had a feeling we'd swap at 18, I lowkey expect the hosts to troll us and have a third tribe. But anyway, I hate these people already omg and we haven't even officially swapped fully. I like them, but I hate them because of how cringe-worthy nice they're being. These players are too good. Ya feel me?

"none"

- ok um faith is talking for the first time in her damn life it's like she just learned how to actually type idk

"none"

- Tribe switch ruins everything. I know I'm going to flop on a new tribe, so I just gotta win, win, win. HOLY DAMN. If this ends up like every sports picking thing ever, I might be screwed.

"none"

- Wanting to target a girl because she doesn't like gifs and I intend to send many

"none"

- Holy heck, a tribe swap! Well at least this will infuse some excitement back into the game. As we predicted, it seems like Kyle knows all of the girls. They don't necessarily seem to like him though, so I think all will be good. At the speed the girls generally seem to be going in the challenges, this tribe swap could take weeks. It seems that Kos and Momma C are on the same tribe and that's all we know so far. Jenna is giving me a bitch vibe, but I think I like it. The girls are giving too much away before we even choose tribes. And of course, Brian is already kissing butts left and right.

"kawau"

- knowing no one is kinda tough. I mean, Konstantinos picked me 1st, said I stood out, my profile. :) He suggests Casper as maybe a pick. I battled Casper, & won. Was a tough game, I liked battling him. Def gave me a run for my money, but I slayed...tehehe! ;)

"none"

- don't talk while you're eating Alex. Also pls don't talk in general

"none"

- This tribe swap might mean Seventh Heaven is dead. I was hoping to have another week or two for us to establish bonds and maybe even go to tribal council once and put a voting plan into action. But oh well. Whatever team I end up on, I'll do what I can to help that team win and to improve my standing on that team. Most of all I would like to be on the same team as Berk, as he was the one who told me about the alliance that had initially formed on Kawau. Kostas would be okay as well, but it would mean I'd lose my credibility as someone devoted to his alliance.

"none"

- everyone's all like "WOEK WITH ME" and I'm all like "YASS bitch" I'm eating up these deals! Half off!

"none"

- I would love for 10 guys to make it to the final 10, but I doubt it could happen. I also don't want it to happen. Some of these guys suck. Right now, I really like Jenna, but she probably has some allies. Hm...

"kawau"

- OMG I GOT PICKED!!!

"taieri"

- wow i love working with everyone, not. literally fuck this is so bad

"poukai"

- This tribe swap is not that bad, I'm with Daniella Who i definitely trust so hopefully i can merge.

"taieri"

- Okay so just to keep you updated there hasn’t been much game I had to play mainly because we’ve been winning. With there being 3 tribes of 6 im really nervous because Im not good at comps and I cannot hide behind anyone now. It’ll be clear who’s dragging along. Right now the only person I trust like 75% (bc u can never trust anyone fully) is Matt B. Matt and I have been communicating well and he’s really nice! Like I haven’t aligned with anyone nicer besides Scott in Newfoundland but let’s hope Matt won’t be sneaky. We’re planning a 3-4 person alliance. I only want 3 bc 4 is too much to commit to especially if your tribe loses. Other than that, im excited and this game is really fun omg.

"taieri"

- So the swap has gone extremely well. I have two alliances. Brian/Brittany/Faith and Josh/Brittany. The objective is to keep as many guys as possible (though I'm trying to present myself as not close to the rest of the original Kawau tribe). Regan is the obvious first boot, then I need to turn Josh against Faith and have the guys the guys vote off the girls. The only problem in this is Josh's friendship with Brittany. If we go to a 3rd tribal council, I might not be able to sway Josh from Brittany, which would mean Brian would be voted out. Right now the objective is to gain Brittany and Faiths trust and make Josh feel like Faith wants him out.

"poukai"

- I recognized the possibility that it would be 3 teams in this swap and not just two, but I'm surprised neither of the 2 teams picked me. Probably coincidentally, I'm on a team with Ci'ere and Charlie, and Ci'ere had suggested a short time before the swap that the 3 of us make some alliance. I preferred to stay dedicated to the 7 as a whole, and I let Ci'ere know that. Also, I worried that Ci'ere was closer to Charlie than I was and so that wouldn't be the best alliance for me; I didn't let Ci'ere know that. The green tribe matching my weird hair color choice for my manga is cool. But I wish I was with Berk or Kostas. I'm also a little let down to see Jenna was picked for one of the other tribes, as she was going to be my pick from the women's tribe had I been able to pick someone. She was active in the most recent vote and in the first challenge, and from our brief time in chat together I thought I'd get along with her okay.

"taieri"

- I really like Brian!!! He's really nice and sweet. I actually have real conversations with him. Idk I feel comfortable with him as of right now and I hope him and I can solidify something.

"poukai"

- So, I think I was the first one to call this twist and now I'm on a tribe with the five people I wanted to be on a tribe with. I seriously didn't wanna get picked just so this would happen so I made sure to not be too friendly or anything. Alissa is totally someone that I identified as being super cool from the beginning and both her and Daniella got a vote each last time so I was hoping they'd be sketched out and work with me over the girls, which is why they were my first two picks for girls. As for the guys, well I'm basically with two guys that I connected with a lot and the Phillip of the game which is so ideal omg. This is probably the very best swap I could've imagined so that New Zealander's luck is coming into play. Thank you to the people who didn't pick me, I owe ya one. Emotikon wink

"taieri"

- I'm very confused by how this tribal will go, if we do end up going. This is something I had issues upon issues with the first few days. We planned it out, but we never got to see it in action. I don't necessarily want to see it in action, but it wouldn't be bad.

"poukai"

- Alex is insane. He's roaming around scaring the heck out of me and Dani trying to threaten us about working harder since we're in the "minority". He has no idea what is happening.

"taieri"

- I need to put myself off as the class clown. I don't want it to seem like I actually have a hand in whether or not someone gets eliminated, even though I actually do.

"taieri"

- Josh looks like he's pretty firmly with me, while it looks like Regan definitely wants me gone. It's interesting, this is the first time in the game I've had a target on my back. Now that I'm in this kind of scary position, I've been having a blast talking strategy with Brian. We came into this tribe feeling like it was 4-2 against us (Josh knows Regan and Britt, and Britt and Faith are tight), but we weaseled our way in, I think. If the girls vote out Regan (which looks likely) Brian, Josh and I are gonna have to pick them off one by one. We'll see what Josh does when it's Brittany on the chopping block.

"poukai"

- It's Day 6 and I already have 2 marriage proposals

"poukai"

- Tonight I got the chance to speak with Charlie some more. It's hard to ever know for sure, but I think I wiggled my way in closer to him than he is to Ci'ere now. This likely won't matter for the time being, but it may be important for the future. Now I just hope I can get some good hours of rest at camp before the challenge.

Day 7
"kawau"

- I'm really happy with my new tribe. I think we'll all be good in challenges and seem fairly active. I trust that the guys (me, Kos, and Casper) will all stay together. I don't like Kos much but I trust him and can deal with him for a while longer. Right now I'm debating between going with Cheryl and Jenna, who seem to be linked, and having a group of 5 or pulling in Chelsea (who I think I have more in common with) and just being a group of 4. My instinct is to go with that plan and take Jenna out first, then I'll more likely have a close ally to use later in Chelsea. Although the best option is just to win all the challenges and never go to tribal.

"taieri"

- last time we voted heather out she was just on the outs i mean I was aligned with britt,alissa, chelsea and Daniella and I knew it was either faith or heather. I just hate how heather thought we voted her off because of her disability that isnt true in the slightest

"taieri"

- Messy Confessional 3 for New Zealand

"poukai"

- The challenge used a lot of time, but it was fun. I got a score of 17 minutes, which I know is going to beat most people. If this was for individual immunity, I would've kept going until I could manage under 12 minutes, but this is just for the team. If we make 2nd in this challenge, that's good enough. But hopefully my 17 minutes inspires them to try harder and get 1st and not just to say 'oh, we already have a good score thanks to Alex, so I don't have to try'. We'll see.

"taieri"

- Starting to feel sick. Today was not a good day. Good news is, I might be able to get some sympathy safety if we go to a vote.

"poukai"

- I've spoken with all 5 of my tribemates personally in hopes that will make them more likely to play the challenge until they get a good score. That might prove more beneficial to our team than my improving my own score by just a few minutes would.

"taieri"

- As nice as it is to be with Matt, I really wish I was with Ci'ere.

"kawau"

- Well, I guess I SUCK at puzzles. I would've thought I would be ok at this, but I somehow did WORSE than the penalty time. 52 minutes! And I don't have the time or energy to try it again. I don't have a mouse, just a trackpad, so that might have something to do with it. Jenna appears to be in the same boat. I fear we might be heading to tribal council. I'm somewhat nudging Jenna to just quit on the puzzle so that there are people who didn't even finish it that I can throw under the bus. I can't believe Kos finished it in 4 and a half minutes. I guess he's not as dumb as I thought. I feel old and slow.

"taieri"

- I've been working Faith and Brittany pretty hard. I'm leading them to believe that after Regans gone I want to get rid of Josh or Brian, whichever one they prefer. I've got Josh thinking that Faith is lobbying to get him out (which is somewhat true) and once I tell him he girls are trying to set up an alliance with Brian and I, he'll be up to vote off either one.

"poukai"

- I'm seeing that blasted puzzle in my dreams now. When I close my eyes, I see an oval with patterns and pieces. I definitely spent too much time thinking about it today.

"taieri"

- so now we tribe swapped. I loved how I got to pick my tribe kins of tbh. Of course I picked josh first it was the only guys name in which I recognized. And then he picked britt and us 3 are working together no matter what its a given

Day 8
"kawau"

- OMG WE WON!!!!! I'm so excited. I really love our tribe and didn't want anyone to have to leave. Plus how we get a reward and get to hangout with Jamie... I'm SO EXCITED

"taieri"

- Thank god we won, now I don't Have to worry about voting anyone out bc I love my tribe so much that I'm aligned with everyone and I don't know how the hell I'd vote someone else. i'm screaming with excitement right now

"kawau"

- okay so I mean I would be naive to think that my tribe members aren't getting along with each other as well as I am with each of them... But I really am getting along so well with each and every one of them. I talk to all 5 of them separately in private message which puts me in a GREAT spot. Not only will I keep these bonds going into a merge, whenever that may be, but if we do lose a challenge I don't feel like I'm at risk of being sent home!! This is GREAT

"kawau"

- Matt P. is way too scary and smart for me. I'd like to call him the smartest player on the tribe, but I'd say the smartest player would probably keep it hidden that he or she is smart and scary. Plus, we all know I'm actually the smartest and scariest player in this game... It just sucks that the first couple of days of this swap with this new tribe I'm busy and I look like I actually have a real life outside of this...

"taieri"

- so we won the immunity challenge I feel so bad though because I only attempted the puzzle like one and a half times. But hey I didnt have the worst time and we still won

"poukai"

- We're going to tribal and as luck would have it, I think I get the power to decide which of the two marriage proposals I got end in divorce tonight

"poukai"

- Well, we lost the challenge. I hope either Kyle or Alissa gets voted out and that they don't vote me out for having a good score. I'm also not surprised that if one person beat me it was Kostas. I identified him as a strong player early on. After us, the next-best time was Casper, so that's interesting.

"kawau"

- I am getting bored and it might end up being the death of me. I proposed an overly complicated scheme to the other guys where they would get Jenna and Cheryl to split votes between me and Chelsea and all the guys (and hopefully Chelsea) would vote Jenna. It's probably unnecessary because Chelsea seems onboard to vote out Jenna so we have 4 anyways, but Jenna could have an idol or Chelsea could be fooling me. The plus to this plan is it would get Kos and Casper in deep shit with Cheryl and I would be blameless. I told Chelsea I would vote out a guy after Jenna, but I'm not sure whether I would actually do that. I do want to bring her along further than some of the other guys though. She seems nice and smart and down-to-earth and we both like RuPaul's Drag Race. And I don't want the final 10 to be a straight up sausage fest.

"taieri"

- I'm getting a little agitated not having been to tribal yet. I've been spending a LOT of time laying the groundwork for some pretty interesting moves. At some point you just want to see where people stand and put together fun vote outs.

"poukai"

- Charlie is being frustrating and keeps pushing Kyle as the person we should eliminate instead of Alissa, giving a mix of about 25% good reasons and 75% bad reasons. I wish he would understand that the benefit of leaving more open the potential for alternative alliances with the girls does not exceed the cost of throwing away our nice 7 within 10 within 18 position among the guys. If a swap happens again, we need as many guys as possible to make it most likely that the guys on our teams are the majority.. I hope he doesn't vote Kyle, and I hope Ci'ere also doesn't vote Kyle.

"poukai"

- Alex doesn't understand the concept of many things, like swing votes, lying to secure your safety, telling people to vote the way you want them to even if they're not in your alliance, anticipating the moves of others and so on. I want to slap him with a rotten fish because I can't play this game with people like that omg

"poukai"

- Ugh. Charlie had apparently told the girls already to vote Kyle, so forget about keeping guys' unity on the tribe if he survives. It's frustrating that I asked our alliance if we should say anything to the girls and they said probably not.. and then it turns out they did speak to them. But yeah. No point in keeping Kyle if Daniella would just turn him against us anyway. So I've begrudgingly endorsed them voting out Kyle. It's a shame I can't change my own vote and that they'll have better standing with the girls now than I will, but what's done is done. I suppose in the future I will wait longer to vote (but set some sort of alarm to be sure I don't ever forget).

"poukai"

- Charlie and I decided that we're gonna work with the girls and start making connections with them. It would have been so boring if all the girls went home first! I thought keeping Alex informed about this was a good idea, but then he started lecturing me. Emotikon unsure I think he only wanted to join Third Heaven just to keep himself safe and when we merge he'll ditch us.

"poukai"

- I hope this vote goes according to plan, I really don't want to spend another day at tribal.

"taieri"

- I'm really hoping the guys stick together, today. From what I've discerned, Alissa's crazy and really disliked by every one but Regan. I'm thinking the right move would be for Ci'ere and the guys to knock off Daniella to split up the girls, but as long as it's her or Alissa I'm happy. Ci'ere might have a rough time bringing all those guys together, they all really hate Alex.
