aw where is my portugal award

[Cochran]

Erik is ok. Nothing great.

Queen Elizabeth
Matt
Sherri
Michael
Alexis
Shamar

That alliance would be kind of dope. I like Laura and Allie too though, I don't think they'll go anywhere in the first bit? No one really talks about Reynold so that might be a thing. Brandon is a character but I doubt he live very long tbh.

[Cochran]

I love matt.

Lmfao at Shamar's idea of being in a woman's alliance that picks off men. That's not a thing here boyo. I like him a lot though he's really genuine and I'm happy to be seeing him succeed in the short term here.

is he ignoring the fact that he is a man hoping for an all women's alliance... i- pray for my winner pick

[Cochran]

Garrett is getting flack and that is like the one thing I don't like about Wardog who otherwise is pretty good on my end. I HOPE Stephannie does the right thing and goes to bat for Garrett here cause that dude is endless entertainment if he gets going.

[Cochran]

I also like Jed or Jeb or whatever a ton. Guy seems level headed.

Round 1

Te Poto
I know this is where all the interesting stuff is happening but I care less about here for some reason. I see that they're going through the motions of getting rid of the crazies and that's just kind of fucking dull man. I want to see Garrett and Missy go crazy, I want to see John Rocker succeed since it sounds like he's putting in the work. But it sounds like they're axed out a little bit. I don't know what's up with Stephannies tif with someone or something either? I realize that this team is pretty big relationship wise which is so different from when I did second chances and we all didn't know each other at all sans a couple of us.

1 Stephannie
2 Garrett
3 Mia
4 Tai
5 War Dog
6 Jed
7 Rocker
8 Hannah
9 Aurora
10 Jessica
11 Stephanie
12 Eddie (Way out of his element here)

That was harder to rank than I expected.

They're a little more organic (less overplaying) And I think that was always going to be the way they were going to be. You can't make them all crazies when you don't know who they are. Very happy with Shamar being successful so far and it sort of sounds like Reynolds slow start might doom him here? I haven't read messages but Laura is also under heat for just not talking enough and it's good for these guys to get some breathing room.

1 Alexis (everyone's favorite. It will catch up to her)
2 Sherri
3 Matt
4 Shamar
5 Allie
6 Elizabeth (Luckiest person in the cast getting all of these relationships at the start)
7 Brandon (funny but no longevity)
8 Laura
9 Hope
10 Michael
11 Erik
12 Reynold

I actually like Michael and Hope a lot and I'm sure this changes once they start actually moving.

Winner pick: Sherri. She's not doing the over the top aggressive everyone loves me deal like some of these people are but still is savvy enough to be there. I don't think that people identify her as a threat until it's too late and I know that's a basic ass pick because she's a vet and vets fail in Stranded all the time but if there is anyone who can manage to get this done, it's her.

[Cochran]

Tai got caught lying already too oh no.

Stephannie is over Garrett now too womp womp womp.

One of the stephs needs to get got soon so I don't need to type their whole names.

[Cochran]

Alexis' video confessional she just posted made me like her less lol. "Why wouldn't you want to come back and be in an alliance??" About Shamar not knowing yet and also saying Allie is overplaying because she's a little gamebotty. It prompted me to read some Allie messages and she's just not really gripping on to anyone else like that. Which is not good tbh, she's behind the curve a little bit. Sucks, I like her.

[Cochran]

War Dog's pitch to Eddie is so fucking fake lol "I will never vote for you" who cares. At least Garrett's shit seems believable albeit slightly insane. I hope he does snag the idol but doubt he will.

[Cochran]

I'm loving War Dog's not backing down kind of feel for Eddie here. He's definitely going to clash with some of the bigger people here and I'm for it.

Eddie realizing he holds some power is good too. Hopefully he can leverage it or at least realize he has to use it tm if not. He's kind of endearing. The issue is they want to split with Garrett or Mia which I just do not want at all so I dunno if Eddie is actually worth the save in that sense.

I would not be surprised if someone says some shit to him to play it though if the crazies over there do ended up wearing on each other enough.

[Cochran]

I love Shamar's confidence and I think he's got a really good shot at doing what he intends to do. If he plays his shit right he might end up being someone in his alliance that other people think are tighter than him. His list seems pretty accurate and just goes to show how good of a job Matt is doing at keeping everything together too. I hope Allie finds some footing here soon because she SHOULD at the very least be alive over Laura who everyone is hating on which is fine for a first boot.

The other team there's just too much going on tbh and none of us really know what's going to happen until they all show tomorrow but I said this in the chat but Eddie has the ability, if he sniffs it out, to get in to the center of that team. It's a ticking time bomb that I want to not explode as long as possible but if he starts telling people everyone is pulling on him it could boil over. I am somewhat hopeful that they win until a swap after they boot Eddie because this tribe is the opposite of cohesive. Even all of the sane people (there are not many) are not on the same page.

Can someone edit this in to my opening post please ty love you @Jeff Probst @Loveita Adams

Thanks poods <3

Loving UB not feeling comfortable on his team. He's used to being HBIC, at least a little bit and I would think that might spark a little bit of crazy inside of him. I hope it does. That's the link to save Garrett here since even though Garrett is crazy he still calls him his main ally. The split vote plan is smart but they're leaving room for some fucky shit going on in that they only really need one more person to make something happen.

5-4-3, if they take the three AND Steph and then scoop up Missy they could potentially find a hole in there and get out one of the big dogs. I doubt they do that because it's early and they don't want to alienate but it would be funny as fuck watching someone like War Dog who just posted "I'm so confident" getting got. Not that I want him to get got or anything but it would just be a lot different than expected. Which, expected is Garrett leaves here of course.

Which I've already kind of fell in to thinking it will happen and if it does then I hope Eddie somehow scrounges by since he's trying to integrate here in to a fucking mess. Him being a survivor noob, esl, org in general noob is amazing to me and I want to watch him grow in this sea of crazies. I think that if Garrett does go/they make a move then he can be used as someone's extra vote (or at least position himself so people think that).

Sidenote- Michael making alliances with most everyone is amazing and I think he's definitely being proactive in his team which is good. He and Matt are all equally on everyone's good side here it seems and I couldn't be more impressed. Matt especially since most everyone says he's their top one? Shamar, Michael, Sherri all do at least. I'm not trying to watch Alexis' video again but I wouldn't be surprised if her and Liz were together within that group. I'm looking forward to Matt's perspective and who he likes and shit. That alliance of six are my top over there and I like that people are starting to angle at Laura and Hope, giving Reynold a new lease on life and also shutting Alexis' random hate boner for Allie down.

More people calling Allie a gamebot <3 I would eat that shit up. Gamebot your heart out girl you can make it out of this team alive!! I believe in you.

[Cochran]

Alright Garrett, you identified the threats/people you can't try and rope in. You've identified your target or people who to target. Now fucking DO SOMETHING about it, big dog. You can't just have a plan and not activate anything, not when you play like you do.

[Cochran]

unsurprised that Sherri is picking Matt for her top when they are half essaying in messages lol. Reading other peoples conversations feels so awkward though. Reynold picking up steam I'm living for :) Everyone is calling him Genuine which is good for him man. If he can stay over Erik who is being cited as less active I would love that cause I don't have shit all from the guy rn.

[Cochran]

Also I wish I did my ranking today cause Michael would be so much higher lol I love how he's lying and mischievous for no reason but is at least relating it to gameplay in a lot of ways. He's going to be one to watch.
