Only 3 days in and it's time to shake things up! You survived our first vote and have a brand new tribe to get to know before our first immunity challenge.

1-Talk to us about your swap tribe. Who are you excited to see? Who were you upset to lose?

2-Talk us through tribal tonight. What was your ultimate reason for your vote?

3-Now that the tribes are mixed, are you planning on staying strong with your original tribe? or do you think it's time for you to find new allies?

4-What are your thoughts on the partner twist? How do you plan to utilize your cross tribal communication?

Good Luck! It only gets harder from here!

1. I think I got pretty lucky with this swap! Matt, Michael, and Shamar were the people I felt best about aside from Elizabeth, so I'm feeling good. And with Sherri (who I was in an alliance with) + Reynold, we have a majority should we choose to stay loyal to our old tribe. But I know that's pretty boring for viewers, and the Te Poto (is that right? lol) people we swapped with all seem pretty great--I think we lucked out and all the crazies stayed on the other tribe. I was really only upset to lose Elizabeth, but she's my partner, so it's nice that we can still chat and also feed each other info. I'm feeling a lot better about Michael now. I actually don't think this swap could have worked out much better for me.

2. So, I definitely was not leading the charge for an Erik boot. I liked him a lot and I definitely would have preferred to see someone like Laura, Allie, Reynold, or Brandon go more. Even Hope I probably would have preferred. But Erik not being online most of the weekend + throwing Elizabeth's name out as an option because "she's new," did not do him any favors and ultimately sealed his fate. It really was between him and Hope, and then Hope signed on and charmed everyone + asked me, Matt, Liz, and Shamar for an alliance, and then that solidified Erik as the vote. Also I after my lil' snafu in the tribe chat, I kinda just wanted to double down on what was happening. I think Erik appreciated my honesty, because he gave me five coins and I don't believe Shamar or Michael received any from him (yet they thought they were in with him).

3. Right now I plan to stay loyal to my original tribe, but of course the partnerships and maybe someone's desire to save their partner's allies may muddy the waters a bit over here. I will say I already really like Rocker and Stephannie, and Aurora seems pretty cool too. Haven't gotten much out of Hannah or Tai yet. If we did have to target someone from my OG tribe, I'd prob settle on Reynold because I've connected with him the least out of the folks over here, though he is a really sweet guy and pleasant to talk to. But I'm not going to be too pushy this early. I would just like to win immunity. :)

4. I like the partner twist. I already trusted Elizabeth, but I get the sense that she may have ranked Shamar above me, so it feels good to have something formally solidified with her that provides incentive for her to stick with me. And it's also great to get intel about what's going on across tribal lines. Michael approached me about sharing who our partners are--I was hesitant at first, but he told me he was more committed to working with me than his own partner (who knows if that's true) so I felt sort of obligated to tell him, otherwise it would have been sketch. He was very relieved. And he told me he's with Jessica (which Elizabeth also told me she learned from Jessica), so this actually worked out very well, since I believe Elizabeth said she was hoping to work with Jessica.


Excited to see what's to come. You guys definitely know how to keep us on our toes!

Realizing I probably didn't need to bet as many coins as I did on Elizabeth, but you never know.

So I am gradually going to make a bunch of private chats with just me to cause some paranoia.

I am open to any and all name suggestions.

My first one I just made is called "Snitches Get Stitches." My next few will likely be less threatening.

At some point, while you are forced to work with a vet as your partner, are you concerned that they may have their own agendas separate from the new players?

Yes, but I'm also concerned that the new players are going to have their own agenda separate from the new players. Maybe I'm naive, but I'm not put a ton of stock into whether someone is a returnee or whether someone is a noob.

Fuuuuuuuuuck I am in a web of final 2s and it's only EPISODE 2.

SOS

Tonight we all worship at the Shrine of Stephannie.

Me too Shamar

WHEW BABY MY FINAL TWOS COMING THROUGH RN.

Immediately after challenge:

Michael: "Don't buy the clue, I'll get it."

*immediately gives me the clue*

15 min later...

Shamar: "So Wardog just gave me the clue and password for our tribe idol. I wanted to come to you first before I tried it to show I trust you 100%."

This is great because I want to be privy to the information surrounding idols, and I want them in the hands of my allies, but I personally do not like being in possession in less no one knows or suspects I have it, which like...never happens to me and it ends up being a curse.

Right now I am playing a lackluster strategic game, but I think I can find my footing soon...

Also, Rocker keeps coming to me with information, completely unprompted, so I'm not sure whether be flattered or EXTREMELY sketched out, but we shall continue to monitor the situation.

I love Shamar, but there is a big part of me that wonders if he ever actually knows quite what is going on. But I think that is part of his charm and right now I want to stay loyal to him.

I was soooo worried he was going to fuck the whole challenge up for us and then I'd have to stick my neck out for him, so I'm really glad Steph pulled through.

Putting this here for safe keeping:

sail through the waters/ on a grandiose boat/ look to the heavens/ to escape the vote

Notes:

Hannah and Aurora in the HII forum. They likely either individually bought the clue or are working together. But I want to keep that in mind for tomorrow.

I mentioned this to Sherri to buy some good will with her--she's now asking Michael and Matt if they bought the clue. I pretended not to know.

Notes on Partners:

Shamar - Wardog
Michael - Jessica
Matt - Missy (RIP)

Which leaves Reynold and Sherri with either Stephanie or Jed.
