You survived again! I tip my iconic Kansas City cowboy hat to you
1- Another new player out the door. How does Brandon's departure impact your game?
2-Have you gotten to know your partner? Do you think your strategic goals for the game line up with theirs?
3-Tell the lurkers a bit about your long term plans here. Who do you hope to take far in the game? Who do you need out ASAP? If you haven't started asking yourself those questions, get on it! I can assure you others are already thinking that far ahead.
OK I finally have some medium to longterm strategy for my game for y'all to hear. I'll be cleverly referring to it as "the pocket strategy". I often have a hard time recognizing the things I do well, but somewhere you have to trust your gut and my gut says I've been doing OK socially here so far. I've also been growing into a better bond with Stephannie and she informed me I'm in with the new players, as I expected. They'd be smart to keep Stephannie in too, if for no reason other than a freaking IMG puzzle. I've got a pretty diverse list of people who are potentially looking at me as being "in their pocket". Jess back on green obviously, I have faith in her that she's looking out even though she definitely has her hands in things I'm not involved in. That's kind of the point.
-Missy is the weakest example I have, but if she survives I 100p think she'll be with me. Optics from here make it seem like Missy's on the hot seat. She probably never had a chance in this game
-Does Stephanie think she has me? Maybe, again I thought we were friends coming in. In the early days of this game I did go RIGHT to her with a lot of stuff
-Wardog. I don't think he necessarily thinks I'm "in his pocket", but I think he wants me to work with him. And I do want to work with him. I sent Brandon to him but that was probably a detriment to Wardog. I'll have to apologize to him for that in the future. Sorry buddy.
-Aurora - hopeful she still thinks of me as her tightest ally here, but who knows. We haven't clicked so great the last 2 days and I don't think it's my fault. If we can get through this rough period still aligned she might very well stick think of me as her best friend. Again, I like Aurora and wanted to work with her to start. It's kind of on her, I'm kind of swimming in opportunity otherwise.
-Hannah - Really enjoy that Hannah and I are able to go straight into gametalk together immediately. My best functioning ally here, although Stephannie and Tai too. I think I can eventually get to a point where Stephannie thinks she "has me" as closest, Tai I'm less sure what he's up to. We have pledged allegiance to each other, so until we have to start voting or another swap that won't change
-Alexis/Shamar - definitely plan to have these 2 think I'm with them more than anyone by the end of this tribe iteration. Suspecting (maybe hoping) Sherri and Reynold are also with these two. Nothing wrong with Michael/Matt either
So by my count that's 5, maybe 6 potential options to think of me as their closest. None of which obviously overlap themselves. It feels like a good position with options moving forward. My only worry in the game right now is what Aurora is doing and if recommending her to the Alexis alliance was a good or bad idea. I want my options as open as possible as long as possible. Missy is probably going to go tonight, we're working well together as a team and seem like kind of smarter people than the green team. Night 1 I was really hopeful Missy would create a giant bomb blowup this season, a girl can dream :dream emoji:
As always Jed left out of my thoughts bc I have no idea. I got info from Garrett night 1 that they were together, Steph idoled him out and Jed is pissed. I dunno though, they could be aligned.
OH MY GOSH GIRLS I WAS LIVING FOR Hannah trashing Stephanie in my IMs. I maintain I like Stephanie and see her finer points, but everything Hannah was saying is wayyy true. Stephanie also definitely overran that KI reunion podcast and I was really disappointed to hear it. Smash the like button if you're from that cast, remember the reunion and agree. Hannah is admittedly a firecracker too though, SO THRILLED to deal with a bunch of girls for the next...how long is this game? 6 weeks?
QUESTION: IS there a challenge AND tribal EVERY SINGLE M-Thur. during this game? No "off days" ever except Friday and Saturday?
QUESTION 2: OK I remember losers go to "Losers Lodge" and can start participating as lurkers. And I think they're able to see confessionals immediately or no? Because my question is actually about whether the JURY see confessionals or not?
As far as Brandon goes, oh well. He was unfortunately doomed here. My tribemates of new players would have voted him out too. I really feel for the guy, I've always tended to be an outsider socially. Not an outcast, well sometimes an outcast, but mostly just background fodder for others. I've worked very hard in life to understand how to assimilate easier, step 1 and 2 is always the hardest. When people like me off the bat I can do a good job roping the relationship further. Brandon unfortunately didn't see that he needed to act way different and move slower until he understood who he could actually talk to. He was zero help to me strategically, and I honestly question if he didn't alter the green tribe's idol clue. I don't really understand the rules about the idol either, to get a real idol I need to solve both riddles? And get someone from green team to get it, to merge with my pink later and then ???? Seems confusing. I'll leave that stuff for Hannah.
Also I received 3 Strandedcoines for the last challenge win but y'all said it would be 5 And don't the voted out people bequeath their tokens? Nothing from Brandon? I talked Royal Rumble with him
Might be better than whoever Aurora's partner is though, whatever Aurora's partner put in her head may have lost Hannah and I as allies. Time will tell. I guess I also need to be keeping track of who's partner is who's.
Eddie's partner must have been Aurora/Hannah/Stepphannie or Tai?
Group A
Aurora
Hannah
Stephannie
Tai
Group B
Laura
Hope
Allie
Eddie
Group C
Alexis
Shamar
Michael
Matt
Sherri
Reynold
Group D
Stephanie
Jess
Jed
Missy
Wardog
Elizabeth
Group A must be partnered with someone from Group B, Group C must be partnered with Group D?

1 - Friday and Saturday will always be off days - but as for what happens Sun-Thurs, I can't confirm or deny. Always expect at least one event those nights though. Game lasts a month-ish.
2 - Pre-jury can see everything, Jury can NOT see confessionals.

Thank! I would not have returned to the Stranded community anytime recently if not for your survey. So feel free to take credit for anything bad that happens here, and a negotiable amount of anything good. Also I enjoy your general style and grace in this community, but unlike Liz you are not playing and I can just say so . Also I always say VELCRO. VEL-CRO. The cat is named VEL-CRO in my head when I see you around
I think the vote is about to be Hannah. Alexis gave me enough a wink that it's not Aurora. So it could only be Tai or Hannah. My gut says Hannah. That sucks, love Hannah. I'd rather it be Tai (I like Tai too) but I'm going to trust my gut and vote Hannah here
I'm So Sorry Hannah. You can read here that you were my #1 since the swap. I tried to push them towards Aurora yesterday and today to no avail. I only got the hunch it was you 10 minutes 5 minutes before tribal. Shamar was not the one to go after unfortunately but it was too far gone. I love you.
