I like my tribe. I think everyone on it is pretty chill and laid back. That can be a bad thing in most cases but I feel like we're all here to win the game. We don't need to be on the board 24/7 to prove that we're here to play. I think we have good organization so far, and it's been apparent that Russell has taken the leader role, as much as I hate to say it. I kind of wanted to be the leader of this tribe, but it looks like Russell beat me to it and took the reigns. I'm alright with that... cause when he falls, I'll take over.
I also received a message from Russell about being a team player and that we all need to band together to succeed. I couldn't agree with him more. I'm sure he sent this out to everyone else, but that's cool that he did. I hope that in this challenge, we can get the flag done, all post and score all the points we need to win this week. I don't want to goto Tribal Council, and I'm sure everyone else on the tribe doesn't want to go either. So, how do we prevent that? We win! There's no other option this week!

My apologies for not writing so much these past couple of days. Alot has been going in the game so I'll try to consolidate it into a short post so there isn't so much reading on your behalf! I'm currently aligned with Yasmin at the moment, only because her and I are in the same boat this week as the people that sat out. I had sent he ra message asking if she wanted to stick together this week, and she agreed. So I'm not sure if the alliance only lasts this week or it's here on out. Either way, I hope it buys me time in the game.
The vote tonight is crazy. I really thought we'd all just vote Aaron out because he didn't offer any help this week in the challenge. Yeah, he said no one was on when he came on the boards... but he also said that he would be here at 10, and that's when everyone was on; and he never came. Yasmin informed that Charlie and Erinn are voting with us, and that leads me to believe they have a 3-way alliance. We'll have to see though. Got a message from Yasmin saying the vote is for Sydney. I can't say I'm torn up about it because she and I never talked, but yeah. It still always sucks to get rid of someone from your tribe. What can you do.
According to Yasmin, it should be 4 for Sydney, 2-3 votes for Aaron, and whoever Aaron votes. Let's see if it happens!

Hey JP! Some generic questions for everyone. So tonight we have the double TC which could change the game.
Whats your plan for this round?
Whats your long term plan? I.e stick with the tribe or ditch it?
Who is your closest ally/the person you trust the most?

I think the only thing I can do right now is play it safe. And by doing that, that means that I have to stick with Charlie, Yasmin, and Erinn are long as possible. All three of them seemed to have taken me under their wing, but that doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on here. Since I was basically the last to join that alliance, I know that I'm the first person they'd get rid of the first chance they had to. So with that information in my back pocket, I'm going to have to strike first before they strike me when the time comes. I'll be ready for it. I'm playing a very UTR game, and they won't expect it.
My plan for the future is to stick with them, but I may or may not make a bond with someone from Papa too when merge comes. I think if I were to do that, it would be a safety net for me in the game incase things were to good bad with all of us on Rangi and I could be the target. My closest ally right now in the game is probably Yasmin, just because she talks to me the most out of everyone from our alliance and usually tells me what's going on, who to vote for, and everything. She keeps me updated and I appreciate that a great deal. So glad I hooked up with them now.

Still playing it pretty safe over here. I'm trying not to be super vocal because that's putting some serious targets on alot of the castaways. I do like that I seem to be on the more hero-ish alliances team opposed to the villainous one. It's becoming really apparent that Russell and Parvati are huge villains, and I'm sure they are now my alliance's number on targets. Well, this week is Russell, and I'm sure next week is Parvati, just because she's good at challenges. The vote this week shold be 4-3 with Russell getting his torch snuffed! When it does, we should be a few steps closer to really finishing off this game and winning it all together. I'm tired of villains always winning games!
My strongest bond in my alliance has been with Yasmin, but that has been changing lately. Yasmin has been really, really vocal against the other alliance, and that can be kind of destructive. I've been slowly backing up away from Yasmin, and have been talking with Erinn more and more. I like Erinn alot and she seems really nice so if it does end up being us 4 in the Final 4, then I'd probably work with Erinn over anyone else. The alliance this week is just hoping that Russell is the one that leaves the game and goes to the Jury, because he can be kind of intimidating in this game. The guy was all alone on Rangi yet survived, so kudos to him, but sad that he'll be going tonight.

I have no idea what to do. My whole alliance is voting out Russell, which would have been but Russell sent me this long message, basically blackmailing me. He said the vote will tie, and that all of them are voting me out of the game, and that I'll go because I have a past vote cast against me. But, I can vote with him and Parvati to take out Kelly because she's a threat who has prizes from her eChallenge, and won't tell anyone what they are, so she's shady. So if I vote with them, that takes the tie off me, and Russell has an idol, so he'll use it, and the only valid 3 votes will be for Kelly and she will be voted out.
That's all I can do right now. Parvati and Russell are on right now and Parvati just messaged me and said if the vote for Kelly was still on. I assume they have their votes for me right now and are going to change it when I give the go? If Kelly goes then they don't have to worry about whatever her prizes are and I live to stay another week. God, I feel so conflicted and have no idea what to do. It shouldn't matter though, right? We're still getting rid of a Papa so Yasmin and them shouldn't be mad at me after it's done. I have to vote Kelly to save my game, because I don't think there's any way around this right now.
