Stranded in Tuamotus

Welcome to your confessional, Alexis!

This may be the most important place in the game. It's where you will vote and more importantly, talk to us! Feel free to divulge your darkest secrets, current strategies, alliances, and hell... just pure hatred for other players. You are the only player that can view this forum. Outside of Alumni and Hosts, it is completely private. We love getting the dirt and there are plenty of us here to ask you questions. As you can see, this thread is labelled "Episode 00". Each round (meaning challenge + council) we will start a new thread with the title of each episode. After every Tribal Council, a host will start a new thread asking you more questions. Again, this is your forum and you can feel free to start whatever topics or make whatever posts you like. We will be here to help you out, make you think, get you to talk and really just lend an ear.

We take confessionals seriously because we're genuinely interested in your story. We want to know everything you're thinking and more importantly, what you're feeling. Think of it as free therapy. We will be guiding you along the way and asking you questions, provoking thought and helping you think about things you otherwise might not have. We find that just talking through your situation can help you get a fresh perspective on things.

Beyond that, it's just fun. What's more fun is having a record of what you were thinking at different stages of the game, and being able to look back on that is priceless so take advantage of it!

Here is a practice mini-challenge for you to work on. It is a challenge that might appear once or twice throughout the season in a different form. While it will be easier to do in the actual challenge using a puzzle-builder, this will help you practice reposting images. Image posting is something that will pop up in multiple challenges and is a skill that you should perfect. Please refer to the guide in the Camp forum for detailed instruction on how to post images.

This particular challenge is a 4x4 16-piece puzzle. You must correctly unscramble the puzzle using the ORIGINAL image links. Meaning, you can't simply rearrange them in a photo editing program. You must use the original images by using the IMG tag. (more information on this in the camp how-to threads.

Good luck, please ask us for any help or further instructions :)


You will need to reply to this thread ahead of the season and sign the rules in order to avoid being replaced.

One task you must complete before Thursday’s launch:

Both tribes will receive a dossier from the opposing tribe detailing their members. Whose dossier belongs to whom will remain anonymous.

You can answer the questions below as truthfully or dishonestly as you choose, but beware… The information below will play a crucial part in the decision making of the season and being dishonest could hurt your chances in the long run.

Again, no one will know who wrote the answers to the questions. They will only be referred to as Castaway #1, Castaway #2, etc…


1. How would you describe your performance in challenges. Strengths/Weaknesses?
2. How would you describe your strategy in the game?
3. How loyal would you describe yourself?
4. How competitive are you?
5. How well do you work with others?
6. Is there anything you would like the other tribe to know about you that you haven’t mentioned?

Hello! I am here and I am P-L-A-Y-I-N-G!

I'll answer these questions later tonight.

Omg alliance chat names are public. That is going to make me paranoid af y'all.

1. How would you describe your performance in challenges. Strengths/Weaknesses?I'm OK at challenges. It really depends what the challenge is, though. I'm good at trivia challenges, flash games (RIP). Bad at posting endurance kind of challenges and anything requiring math of any sort.
2. How would you describe your strategy in the game? Cautious. Social.
3. How loyal would you describe yourself? Extremely, probably to a fault because usually my demise is a result of me trusting someone too much. I like to see the good in people and forget that they can lie to me in these games and it's absolutely warranted to do so.
4. How competitive are you? “I don’t have a gambling problem I have a competitiveness problem.”
5. How well do you work with others? Very. While I am competitive and just quoted Michael Jordan, I'm very good at working with other people--probably one of my biggest strengths. But I am also not afraid to tell someone their idea is bad.
6. Is there anything you would like the other tribe to know about you that you haven’t mentioned? I'm never going to judge someone solely based on a first impression and I have a short-term memory when necessary.

I will be making a chatroom called "a little bit alexis" to mess with you, just FYI. Hope it doesn't tank ur game

I'm just going to make like 10 chats with Jeff Probst and another viewer to make everyone else extremely paranoid.

Side note, in one of the intro videos there are instructions for using the PM system (where you can make anonymous group messages), although it is a tad more inconvenient than IM'ing

Oh yeah, I think I watched that because the chat feature is the only thing that's really new to me. Thanks!
