Another one bites the dust! Hope you're settling into you new tribe and getting ready for the game to ramp up! A few questions to ponder tonight:

1-Idol clues were sold after the challenge. Did you buy one? What is your plan to deal with potential idols in the game?

2-How are alliances shaping up on your tribe? Do you feel comfortable with your position? If not, what are you going to do to change it?

3-How do you feel you did in the challenge tonight? Who do you think your tribes best competitor is? Who is the worst?

As always, feel free to leave us with any other thoughts you have! Our viewers are craving content!

Wait, who put ME in charge?!


So yesterday was pretty interesting. It started with Matt revealing that his partner was Missy, and Alexis (separately) revealing that her partner was Liz. Which at the time, was a bit worrisome. Since as far as I knew, Liz and Missy hated each other.


Turns out, maybe they don't anymore. Matt said that Liz and Missy had been able to bury the hatchet a bit, while Liz was always playing up the feud between the two of them because she knew I was listening to the podcasts. There is a bit more reason why I think this.


Jessica is my partner and is close with Liz, that is something I knew going into the season, as they are premerge Tanzania. But Jessica is quickly trying to force me to save Aurora and demanding that Tai goes out. Meanwhile, Missy is telling Matt that Tai needs to go.


That's just too fishy that Missy, Jessica, and Liz would ALL agree with Tai being the target. and I am not really happy with how pushy Jessica can be with me. I'm not her puppet. I'm her partner. If she is going to treat me like she can just push me around I really don't have to listen to her.


So I felt a bit over trying to play telephone with Alexis and Matt and decided that a three way chat was the way to go. I think all three of us are strong together and we need to remember that we have agency here. But really quickly, it turns out that I may have A LOT more agency than I originally thought.



Reynold came to me out of a bit of desperation, feeling like he wasn't attached to anyone. I told him that I really liked him, but was always a bit intimidated that he had some alliance going already. I knew that he didn't. But I wanted to make it seem like I was the shy wallflower that was scared to approach him, when really I didn't have too much invested interest. But at this point, his stock is really rising for me. I told him that I'd love to work with him and Sherri and Matt (the names he brought up) and brought up the possibility of including Alexis. Shamar really being the only one not included..


Meanwhile, Aurora is now grabbing onto me because Jessica told Allie (Aurora's Partner) to contact me. I told Aurora that I'd be able to save her and switch the vote to Hannah. Hannah has just a terrible social game. She came over in the minority, she didn't start conversations, and she's just falling flat with all of us and giving us nothing to work with. I really don't mean to just go off on her, she's just not really suited for the adaptability you need.


Sherri, Reynold, Matt, Myself, Alexis, Stephannie, and Aurora were prepared to vote out Hannah if we lost immunity. We won and I know that Hannah went for the idol. along with me and almost everyone else. It was crazy to see that everyone was relying on ME for the vote. Even though we ended up not going to tribal, it was nice to feel a bit of power.



My goal is to bond with Stephannie today and prepare for a split vote between Rocker and Hannah somehow. While I like Rocker more, he's not being super open with me. While Tai on the other hand seems to be a thorn in the side of Liz, Missy, and Jessica and I'd much rather have them deal with him later.



Jessica told me prior to Tribal that the vote was going to be between Brandon and Eddie. This scares me for a few reasons:

1. It was only the newbies that were targeted.

2. I can really use Brandon and I want to protect him.



There is a strong part of me that wants to throw a challenge to try and save Brandon, if at all possible. Then again, i'm prepared for a three tribe swap. I don't know if i'm "Pukaroa Strong", but I have a lot more inroads with them than I do with Te Poto.

Burn the bridge to light the way


Hannah, Aurora, Jed, Jess, Missy, Liz, Stephanie are all together. Do I REALLY want to go up against them? That's such a HUGE alliance. maybe if Hannah gets clipped "accidentally" things will be a little bit easier down the road.


Stephannie is really willing to open up to me. I need to find a way to get Hannah to go in a "little accident" to thin that alliance herd before we get too far in.

Fun fact for everyone.



I almost quit Stranded prior to even the game starting.


I was driving when I got the notification that I was accepted as a cast member. the second notification said I would be playing as Michael.


Well, the only Michael I could think of from survivor was Mike Skupin….You know, the pedophile...


My whole drive home was me FUMING, getting ready to just explode and quit before the game even started. Then I saw it was Michael Snow, and my next thought was "oh. could be worse I guess."



and that's the story on how I accepted my spot in Stranded.

To Jessica.



I know you're hiding information you have. Why do you have to be so fucking shady all the time?


I guess I'll go fuck myself.




Here's the thing with Jessica, she starts our relationship wanting to work with me as a partner. I am a huge fan of hers. She begins to tell me what I NEED to do and who I NEED to save.


Jessica, you aren't paying my bills, I asked you who has the Te Poto idol, and you tell me it's Shamar's partner.


...okay...WHO THE FUCK IS SHAMAR'S PARTNER?! YOU KNOW I WANT TO KNOW!!



I decide to be more direct. "Oh, do you know who everyone's partner is?"

and you decide to be cute

Liz and I were talking about it earlier. We have a decent idea but I need to make a list lol

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW. STOP BEING SHADY.
