Aurora called the swap happening after the double tribal so I wasn't completely surprised When she sussed that out on Saturday I wanted to make sure that I was in good with the majority of the tribe so I wasn't swap fucked for a 2nd time. A big part of that was making sure that Garrett didn't come back. But I will get into that more at questions 2.
1-Talk to us about your swap tribe. Who are you excited to see? Who were you upset to lose?
This swap tribe is not too bad. I think this is probably one of the best groups I could have gotten with.
Jed: I'm so excited that I got Jed. He is someone I'm trusting more and more as we continue to talk. I think right now on this tribe, he is easily my #2. Him, Liz and I are going to be working together.
Wardog: He was someone I was excited about a first, but I just got some information that he may not be the person I thought he was. I need to talk to him to see what's going on. Now this information is coming from Eddie so I want to allow Wardog the opportunity to be honest with me. I don't think I need him so I hope he is honest with me.
Liz: THIS BITCH!! Finally, I'm so excited to work with her. I learned that she was planting seeds to the newbies that I was someone who can be trusted. So that is something that can really help my game. I trust her fully and know that she is someone who is not going to screw me (yet). She has a lot of insider information from the other tribe and is telling my who we can work with going forward. Honestly, having her by my side is great for the early stages of the game. However, in the deep corners of my mind, I remember that she blindsided me in r*match..... good thing this isn't r*match though.
Alli: Allie is someone that I'm trying to bring in. Aurora is her partner and she told Allie to work with me. Once again, this is good for my game. She reminds me a lot of myself last season except she needs to get going with finding her footing. I plan on using her as a number once I get her to trust me. I also would like to help her if possible.
Stephanie: She still scares me but she hasn't done anything that makes me thing she is against me. I'm sure she will want to keep the majority so that is good for me.
Missy: I'm trying to make her think that we are best friends. The home girl is paranoid. She had ONE VOTE against her last tribal and she goes and askes if it was me... like bitch, I told your the split plan for Garrett. I can't play long with paranoid people who can blow up so easily. I doubt she will make the merge. Liz and I won't let that happen.
Hope, Brandon & Laura: I group these 2 together because I dont know much about them because they havent talked to me much. I have no idea what to expect with either off them at this point. But not a good first impression.
Eddie: Ugh.... I mean we had a legit conversation but I still don't want him around much longer. I mean he is better for my game than Garrett was but not by much.
I'm really going to miss Aurora and Hannah. Those are really the only 2 that I were super close with before the swap. But I know they are both good players. I'm going to try and use Alli and Michael to keep them safe.
2-Talk us through tribal tonight. What was your ultimate reason for your vote?
Tribe last night was.... interesting. I may not be able to take full credit for the vote but I will take some credit. It was my plan to get the guys to vote Eddie and the girls to vote Garrett. Obviously there were some issues as there was a tie, but I'm not surprised. Getting 10 people on board with a plan is nearly impossible. I love that everyone was just talking openly about what they wanted to do after the tie. I swear I'm going to practice whispering lol because I know it's coming. But yeah, all in all, the vote went perfect and it was hilarious the Garrett thought I didnt flip
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?
I'm planning on working with the people I can trust. I don't trust everyone on my OG tribe and there is an opportunity for me to gain trust with the newbies. I made a whole ass document about notes and things I needed to do for each stage in the game. One of my swap rules is to be flexible with who I work with, and I plan on doing just that. I will continue to post my notes as these confessionals go on
4-What are your thoughts on the partner twist? How do you plan to utilize your cross tribal communication?
Oh man! This is exciting! Simply for the fact that we have an in on the other tribe. My partner knows all about Tanz and Liz trusts him. So this is a good start. I think we will be able to use each other to help keep our people safe so that we will have the majority come the merge. I know that is a long way away but it's still something to consider. I will try to trust him and work closely with him
