Ok, so this first challenge went really well.
I feel people didn't target us as much because they don't find us too threatening. I know it was close, but I think it's Heroes vs Villains, and then the Neutrals are just kind of there.
I know everyone wanted the Heroes to go to tribal, so that's definitely good they went.
Now about this tribe thing...I HATE IT! It sucks. I feel like such an outcast. I don't belong anywhere so I got stuck in the middle. I was feeling very comfortable on the Villain's tribe, and now I'm stuck with a bunch of.....NEUTRALS!
We weren't bad enough to be Villains, so we got put in a place where we can be at one with both of our sides... *sigh* I just don't know how to explain it, it just...feels wrong and degrating. FRICKEN SANDRA!!!
We got clues to the HII (easy to find) but lucky for Chase and Benry they were up when the clues were given, and since the idols were so fricken easy to unscramble the clue and then find, they got them in 30 minutes when no one else had a fricken chance...It took me all but 20 minutes to find that hidden word... :-\
And what is this about Dead Man's Island?!
Are you TRYING to have Benry in your final 2 again?! This better stop at merge or else Benry will make his way to the end no sweat.
Too much to complain about.
Aparently the Villains are voting out Aras, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone else. I think it might be Terry, but at least Terry has talked to people where I know Aras doesn't have a strong social game. We'll see.
I just hope Benry goes on the Heroe's tribe like the plan is supposed to be. Either he or Amanda has the idol, the only thing is I hope that Benry is too cocky to play it in fear of wasting it round 1...But if Nate goes that's not totally a negative.
Ok alliances:My number 1 is definitely Russell. Unfortunately I decoded the clue and he wasn't online until this morning so it sucks he couldn't get to the idol first. So who has it over on the Villain's side? I don't know.
Russell and I have gotten to talk quite a bit and I think at this point in the game I'm more worried about his safety on his tribe than I am with mine!
If I was over there with the original tribe, then I have no doubt in my mind we'd have majority.
I actually quite like the guy. He has a good mind for the game, and we also get along quite well. I can see me getting to the end with him, but it will take a lot of work. We're trying to keep me and him under wraps as long as possible, and hopefully it will work in our favor. But as for the future with us in this game, at the moment we're only cross tribal, but we're giving each other our own tribe details and discussing strategy and who would benefit both of our games by working with them or voting someone out.
Russell is my ultimate partner in crime, and I hope/don't think anyone sees me and him coming full throttle together. We plan to lay low and make a tribe swap (which I expect soon) or merge. Once we get together, I don't see anything stopping us really. We'll see what happens.
But if he gets eliminated at any point and I'm still in the game, I'm honestly not sure what I'm going to do. I have a few friends on the Heroe's side, so I'm hoping I have myself in a good position...but I want to play this game with Russell so bad, so it would definitely suck to see him leave, especially early in the game.
I've found I'm drawn to people sometimes by who they are playing as. Like Russell....anytime there is a Russell in a game, I want to align with them.
But also it depends on their personality because I LOVE Terry, but the Terry in this game isn't someone I'm like head over heels for like I am with Russell.
I just want this game to go perfectly...no mistakes. Take it all!
Pre-game alliances:
Shane
Heidi
Gabe
Chase (possibly)
Sandra
and Terry
I still don't trust Dreamz. He's too shady.
And I don't trust Amanda....never have, probably never will. She's too all over the place and I never know for sure if she really has my back like she says...considering she lied to me about knowing who had the idols. Ozzy even told me she knew because she told him who had them. So I don't trust her at all this game, and that's her fault.
Possible allies:
Kelly
Parvati
Nate
Ozzy
Chase has our idol.
Although I want to work with Chase, I already know he has Benry's back completely. He's only saving his butt on the Neutral's tribe til he can hook back up. I have nothing against him, and wouldn't even be targetting him, but he told the wrong person about the idol.
Here's my plan:
Convince Chase that Ozzy is going (apparently Chase thinks him and Ozzy are working together and told Ozzy he had the idol and not me. I had to get it out of him
). Convince Chase Oz is going, and see if Chase will give the idol to Ozzy. I think Ozzy having the idol will benefit me more than if Chase does. If Chase gives it to Ozzy, we're voting Chase out and Ozzy won't play the idol and just keep it. If Chase just uses the idol on Ozzy, then the idol is burned. If Chase doesn't give the idol to Ozzy, then Chase will still go home because he won't play it thinking he's safe.
The only part I don't completely trust is Ozzy. He was a Villain after all. Not sure why, but you can never trust a Villain. So probably we'll vote out someone different and see who plays the idol/or doesn't and from there I will decide who I can trust. But we'll see. We may split votes just to flush it out in case they do play it.
Well that's the HUGE update for now.
This game I'm keeping my eyes and ears completely open! When I say I'm not afraid to backstab anyone, I sincerely mean it this time (as you can see with my plan to take Chase out). I'm definitely here to win, and I wanna be a full blown threat in this game. All Stars to me means "Give everything you've got." Whether this is the last time I play in this series or not, I'm definitely going to make an impact. People might be surprised by me this game, much more than in Capri.
I'm going to scheme and plot like crazy, and I want to be the threat that nobody targets, but makes all the big moves. I hope to come out as the ultimate Villain this game, and I think I have the right attitude, tactics, and partner to be just that!
I plan to take this title.
