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!

Thank fucking god, first of all. I'll do a full update later. But that was ridiculous. I understand from Missy's perspective, but it really showed the dynamics for what they were.... and you know what? I was skeptical of that exact faction in my Round 1 updates, and what happened?

I'm just glad to be away from a lot of them. I wish Wardog was with us, but whatever. I can handle Aurora and Hannah.

I'll answer the questions tomorrow morning or later, but I already love Sherri and Matt! :heart:

My goal is to work my social game into overdrive, and ensure Hannah/Aurora are ON THE OUTS on this tribe. :devil: Sorry, ladies! But I didn't like that tribal. And I know it's not that big of a deal, it's not like I was left out of anything, but it's very clear where the plan came from and who was calling the shots.

Worried already for Wardog over on the other tribe.

Okay I'll do my confessional now. Let's see...

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

I am upset to lose Wardog. Maybe Jess too, but I'm glad she's on the other tribe because she would have been loyal to Hannah and Aurora here.

Stephanie proposed a couple alliances to me but they didn't make a ton of sense. I think Hannah, Aurora, Steph, Jed, and Jess were sitting happily in control. Like I wasn't in the dark, I was included, but I was TOLD the plan too. I.e. it came from somewhere else. Whatever. It's not a huge deal.

I'm just glad myself, Tai, and Rocker are together and can't be scapegoated for last tribal. I am also glad that the Boring Bitches (Steph, Jed, Hannah, Aurora) are split up and I'm not at their mercy.

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

My initial vote was about conceding and playing along with the majority, while doing my best to make Eddie feel comfortable so that he would go regardless. I feel dumb not yelling at Garrett and telling him No when he wanted to stray on Missy. I should have counted out the votes.

I wanted Garrett to survive because he was easier to talk to, and because in my gut I knew he trusted me. Plus he, yknow, didn't have a public idol.

I felt something like a friendship with him, so after Eddie didn't use his idol, there's no way I wasn't voting to keep Garrett.

Like. We can get rid of someone with unpredictable activity who nobody feels close to AND HAS AN IDOL. Or we can get rid of someone active for ""overplaying"" in Round 1. Like? Idk, I don't want to call them idiots and I totally understand why Missy needed him gone, but the rest?

Also Hannah, Aurora, Jed, even Missy and kind of Steph... even Jess in some ways literally NO game talk beyond "this is the split" type of thing. I hated that tribe lol. A lot of the "Fans" feel better socially and WAY easier to talk to after one night of messaging. Which is a relief.

Idk why Hannah is so condescending during tribal either lol. Or why Steph got so aggro. Or why Aurora was being so cryptic "we're good I stuck with the plan." Jed whispering too, like..... yall. It's Round 1 and a tie. You can't get backlash and there's only two options. Like what did they think would happen? How hard was it to say "nah I'm keeping my vote on Garrett" like...

The fact that Wardog and I were the only two who said clearly who we were voting.... idiots. And they'll get what's coming to them. Unless they don't and wind up controlling the game, which would suck, so let's not allow for that to happen.

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?

No lmfao. Well. I'm sticking with Tai and hopefully Rocker.

All the bland people were in control on Te Poto. It was kind of tortorous in that sense. And if we don't take some of them out while we have the chance they'll control the game.

Most of the fans I've met are fun and engaging. And can carry on a conversation. So ideally myself and Tai make good impressions such that Hannah and Aurora are on the outs. It's concerning that the nexus of control on initial Te Poto was so lifeless. Or maybe I was just on the outer rungs and they were shutting me out. Either way, some of those five who voted Garrett need to go ASAP.

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

Eddie is a good partner because I had JUST burned a major bridge with him. By stating publicly I wanted him out lol. So I'm glad we're partners because it gives us an easy thing to bond over.... and ideally he won't be coming after me now.

Cross tribal commutation will be key. Idk how that will work with Eddie though. He already wants Wardog out which I will try my best to talk him out of...

Idk who to say this to because I have an OCD* thing that makes me incapable of talking much or at all elsewhere while in a game because my brain says "you broke an anonymity rule" which forces me to check over and over that I didn't, even though I know I didn't, and it's exhausting, so I'll opt to just not post things at all..... anyway



GHANDIA IS ON RHAP!!@@@ THIS IS NOT A DRILL! GHANDIA. IS. ON. RHAP!!!@@

I just gave a massive thread for Sherri to grab onto - I said a lot of Te Poto was boring - and she glazed right over it. :/

Granted I wasn't super direct, but it takes two to build up a bond during a swap and I feel like she's holding back. I gave Reynold a very similar speech.... basically saying without saying that our first tribe had folks I didn't click with.... idk, I feel like I've been more than obvious enough but they don't seem to have picked up on it.

Is there any messaging between the challenge and tribal? Or do we go straight to the TC with IMs staying off? I can't remember, it's been too long... :heart:
depending on how much time the challenge takes, you will have a scramble period prior to going to tribal

Okay, it's lined up to boot Hannah if we lose. Unless all the Fans are lying, but I don't think they are.

Not that it's been stated overtly by anyone besides Tai, but I can feel that in the air. It's what they'd want. And I'll vote that way too if we're headed to tribal.
