If this is your first time on Stranded - don't worry, we will be posting confessional threads for you each round, as well as a series of prompting questions! These questions will get more and more customized as the game progresses. Feel free to answer these, or not - they're just meant to get the brain juices flowing.

Congratulations on surviving the first night! And no tribal until Sunday...but there is still work to be done.

1. First Impressions - we all have 'em. Who has stood out to you in a good way and in a bad way from the first night of socializing?

2. Opening Twist - were there any intros from the other tribes' dossier that stood out to you? And do you have any plans for your newly-minted tribe member?

3. StrandedCoin - this will be the second season of Stranded to feature StrandedCoin! Have you been thinking about how you might use it to your advantage? Has it been discussed amongst your tribemates?

I meant to do this a lot sooner, but I just woke up and am well rested, so let's talk about the game so far!

Before I answer the questions, I just wanna say that being in this game is so exciting. I literally waited ALL day on Thursday for it to start. Granted, I was super nervous and all, but I think everything went good. Overall my tribe seems super nice and chill, which I love. I mean, that's how the first couple days always go, so I'm not expecting this vibe to stay by any means ALTHOUGH I do wish that for us. I know that it's only the beginning.

So, I made sure to talk to literally every single person on premiere night. I think I accomplished that goal except I haven't talked to Reynold. I made an interesting observation that I messaged everyone first except for one person who I can’t recall at the moment and perhaps Allie?

Let’s go down the list of everyone

Alexis: I did message her first and we talked BRIEFLY. I don’t really feel any connection with her as of yet because our convos have been so short, but I want that to change.
Allie: I’m not sure sure who messaged who first since it won’t show our beginning convos for some reason, but Allie is very lovely, but just like Alexis, there isn’t really anything too much with her. I mean, we did kinda bond over her writings, which shows that I’m interested in things that she does haha, but other than that, I do wanna get to know her more.
Brandon: Idk how to feel about Brandon tbh lol. Something with him just feels…off. Idk what it is…it’s kinda just awkward.
Elizabeth: Okay, so I haven’t talked to her just yet since she swapped tribes with Eddie, however, I do wonder how she feels right now being the only one on the tribe with a PUBLIC idol..more on that later
Erik. I like him. We bonded over Survivor which was nice. I feel like I’ll be able to trust him
Hope: From our conversations, I already love her haha.
Matt: I think I talked to him the most out of everyone. I really like his vibe and I know we’re gonna get along great. I would love to work with him in this game
Michael: He seems nice
Reynold: Is he alive? Idk, I didn’t see him online at all on Thursday, but lemme go message him now lmao.
Shamar: Another person that I talked to a lot so far. I think he’s a great person. Def funny which is a plus. Would love to work with him
Sherri: Lol, Sherri is a strange woman. I LOVE IT though. I love her humor. However, she seems like she likes to be messy and she’s probably one that will start stuff with people just for the heck of it, so that means I’ll have to keep my eye on her

People who stood out to me that I like: Shamar, Matt, Hope, Erik, and Allie.
People I wouldn’t really want to work with just off vibes and the kinda player they would be: Brandon, and Sherri

Opening Twist:
I was NOT expecting this twist but when I found out about it, it kinda made sense lol. Now my mind is turning ALL kinds of wheel. because we still don't know which intro belonged to Elizabeth. Speaking of intros, I’m sure everyone is gonna say Keurig stood out to them the most because they stood out to ME. And HOLY HELL. This person is M E S S Y already!! Imagine what this person could manage to do if they stay longer in the game. Personally based on that intro, I would want them gone tbh lmao. BUT LIKE????? WHAT IF KEURIG IS ELIZABETH??? We literally have no way of knowing, so that's scary. I also really liked Castaway 7, and if I made it to the point in the game where we did a tribe swap or merged, I would def wanna work with them, but who's to say they're not on my tribe already :) lol

StrandedCoin:
I honestly haven’t thought much about the stranded coin feature in this game. If it comes down to it and I’m in the hot seat to get voted off, I would def try and trade some coins for votes. But that literally comes as a cost because someone could agree to it and literally take your coins and still vote you out. It’ll def add another layer to this game and I’m excited to see how it plays out. We haven’t really talked about it as a tribe either so I’m curious to know what everyone thinks of it.

also forget to mention how NERVOUS I am for Sunday since both tribes are going to TBC. I don't feel safe at all, so I really need to try and figure out where everyone's head is at.

[Laura]

Y'all the way today has been so dead in terms of tribal council being tomorrow. I think people are kinda putting it off tonight but then when tomorrow hits, it's gonna make people really start trying to figure out what they are gonna do.

I honestly have NO IDEA who I would want voted out. This is literally SO HARD, I already wanna cry lmaooo. I am trying to figure out where people are at right now, but I've basically gotten the same generic answer that I would give as well, so this should be interesting lol. I did finally talk to Reynold and Elizabeth and I like them both. I've talked to Sherri more today and I actually do really like her, so ignore what I said about not wanting to work with her in my other confessional...unless.

Anyways, my anxiety is through the roof right now. I'll update later when I know more of what's going on.

[Laura]

Okay so I've talked to Allie and she told me that she heard Reynold's name which I wouldn't be opposed to. I feel like out of everyone, I have the least connection to him, but nobody has given me a name, so I'm not sure who gave her Reynold's name.

[Laura]

The way I forgot Erik was still here since I haven't heard from him in awhile lmaooo. I'm thinking it might be him in the running to get voted out. Reynold has been talking to me more so I def don't wanna rob him if Erik hasn't really shown up at all. Right now, I'm leaning towards voting for Erik

[Laura]

LMFAOOOO. I love Alexis omfg. She literally just spilled the beans about Erick being the vote tonight. Well, at least this is an easy ass vote lmfaooooo.
