#Anyway nothing in the ad was that bad it just felt kinda targetted even tho it was maybe just in slightly poor taste

[razette]

makes me think of that unskippable google phone ad on yt. The woman taking photos of things to shop online because she is SOOOOO BOOOORED by w/e her date is yapping on about. i wasnt impressed by ad to begin with, because im not the kind of person to be that type of rude. Idk, I would just cut in, personally. i mean how should I know if theyre being rude on purpose if I dont? am I part of this date or not, let me talk? skill issue, lady.

idk w/e I was along for the ride because the ad is un fucking skippable I understood the implication was that her date was a little self absorbed or something. she finds her stupid shitty lamp and is like "cool!" at the same time he is like "yeah, thats why tomatoes are awesome!"

when I tell you I shrieked. 🙀☠️☠️

anyway, tomato guy deserves better. he can infodump to me about tomatos all day. she can keep the ugly plastic lamp as representation of bad manners or w/e and just go. 😿

I honestly think Simon really wanted to push Liam originally but Harry and Niall had more charisma and presence, Zayn had better vocals and Louis was the behind the scenes person writing songs and managing things (tho he also had more charisma in interviews). Liam kinda ended up more in the background as the "basic" one.

You can even see the shift from the first album being so Liam focused to the second one. Niall and Louis didn't even get to really sing till Take Me Home.

It was Nicole who saw the potential in Niall and Harry, because she saw the charm and presence they could bring. Liam was there to do the actual singing, once the others could also sing the part Liam wasn't as center focus because he lacked the elements the other boys had.

Honestly if Zayn didn't have such bad anxiety he could probably be as successful as Harry. But I think he's happier chilling with his family and releasing music whenever he wants without promoting it or anything, he's already rich so I don't think he needs the money anyway.

Niall had a great album with Heartbreak Weather but he stopped promo once covid hit and it was sad because the songs on that album are great. What I love the most is that while all the boys in 1D were just learning how to sing Niall immediately started picking up other music skills like the guitar, it was Niall that later started teaching Harry how to play. That's I think part of what makes Niall so great he's always trying to get better and learning from other people, and he never releases anything unless he thinks is good enough.

Louis is so talented behind the scenes. He wrote most if not all of 1Ds greatest hits, he honestly had the strongest behind the scenes presence. He isn't as comfortable singing or performing but he's such a chill lad, his concerts are like hanging out with a friend that happens to know how to sing and is on a stage. He's also such a gem in telling fans to pirate his stuff if they can't afford it and lowering ticket prices to the minimum lol. Precious boyo.

And there's Liam who has struggled a lot with wanting to be the Justin Timberlake of one direction but never got there. He was in theory the perfect one to succeed with the singing and dancing... and yet. He also has a lot of personal struggles that bleed into his professional life but that's not our business. I think specially early on he felt like he was owed the success, but he just didn't have that It thing.

Harry always had the star quality, that boy was eating the stage up since he was sixteen. He was made for the stage. They can say whatever they want but all 1D fans knew Harry was going to have the best solo career. He just has the full star package.

-

God I've been in this fandom too long. I talk about stuff like this with my friends all the time, we kinda ended up agreeing that Liam had the basic voice of 1D and all the other boys added the flavour to it. Now that they all have solo careers the other boys developed their unique flavours but Liam just feels basic and generic. I feel cruel saying it but it's how i see it.

omg i strongly agree - we know liam was simon’s favourite. but i think nicole, being a woman, was able to see who would be more popular with teenage girls (aka their target demographic).

zayn is soo talented but yeah, i don’t think he enjoys the spotlight which is fair. i am still SO heartbroken about heartbreak weather, it’s an amazing album and deserves more :( but that’s a good observation about niall- he’s always pushed himself to learn and do better. and i loove louis, he’s so grounded and down to earth, he may not have the best voice but like you said, he does a lot of behind the scenes stuff. i honestly think liam needs a break to get himself together bc he’s been a mess for years now :// and yeah we all knew harry would do the best. liam does have the most basic voice haha and there’s nothing that sets him apart which is a shame, and one of the main reasons why he hasn’t done well

Ep. #2 - “Shit ain’t over till the fat lady sings and I didn’t warm my pipes.” (Cameron)

Day 4: Well. I survived my first tribal council of the season, and even though it went exactly according to plan, while I slept my entire day away, I'm still really hesitant to tell myself that I'm doing well on my tribe. I'm really nervous that my tribe mates are playing me, and that I'm really boo boo tha fool here. I called Megan post-tribal, and I was finally able to get some closure on something that happened between us in our personal lives, which felt really good. After that, she asked me about the idol, to which I had responded "Wait, Julian didn't tell you?", which hopefully sows some seeds of doubt in Megan about Julian. Ideally, if the Enlil tribe has to go back to tribal council, the four of us can bear witness to a Megan vs. Julian war. Because unfortunately, the connections I have outside Enlil, are shared with either Julian or Megan. If Megan and Julian are going after each other pre-merge, or during a swap scenario, I don't have to share those connections anymore. After that, Megan and I just talked about the nudes we received during quarantine ~ I then promptly ran to Will to tell him about the potential crack I just formed between Julian and Megan, which was met with genuine excitement. I think I'm really gaining Will's trust, and I think we vibe so well together. Love that guy! Overall, it wasn't a very productive day because I woke up at 4:30p PST. Love that for me, thanks for shading me @ Tribal Bodhi.

going into this scavenger hunt as the tribe that went to tribal last is worrysome. It's a challenge that's fully dependent on our activity, so we are at a serious disadvantage against the other two tribes that get to choose someone less active to sit out. We don't have that luxury. The point/life system eases the blow, however, since we can get less active players 1 life while more active players can get 3. In case we lose, I'm trying to connect with everyone on the tribe. I really don't want to vote anyone out though. I have an alliance with Julian and JJ, and one with Will on the side. Chrissa wants to work with Julian, JJ and myself, and I think Megan and JJ have something on the side. I'm nervous for who would be the target in the vote, and any vote would hurt all of our games collectively. Hopefully we win because the next vote will not be easy AT ALL.

Done w typing this sheet

jj and zachary are so fucking annoying to this challenge and if i vote for you first at the swap, its probably because youre typing too much during this challenge sorry not sorry xoxo - sincerely johnny a month from now

let me be clear with andrew I was not calling his hosting unfair i was calling the fact that a majority green item giving him a point unfair not the hosting but lack of yellow, also i have a headache i don't feel that good. and I just don't think zach should have had a point for it nothing against hosting obviously i watch a movie trivia thing where literally they have a challenge to challenge any questions that are unfair, that doesn't mean they are calling the question writers or the answer writers unfair. 

Zach just won the tribal challenge for us which is fantastic. We can maintain the illusion of a unified tribe longer, which keeps us together in a swap situation, and Zach has clearly painted a challenge target on himself over the last two challenges which will make him go before me if our Triforce ever becomes the minority. I'm really happy with my position in the game right now

me and monty trying to find the idol and decode this annoying ass video https://imgur.com/a/lu7sbMu

Forgive me father for I have sinned it's been approximately three days since my last confession so far can't complain really we be winning they hating we be riding pretty damn clean I've got a majoritu alliance I didn't start so odds of it falling around me and being the first voted out slim to none thank the sweet baby jesis and all that good shit. Oh well that's all for now

JULIAN’S HOST CHAT GUEST, ZEE:

I am filling in a confessional because you told me to. I am in front of my fan because it's hot. I'm thinking that it seems pretty stupid to ask me for a confessional. Julian's prod chat isn't very interesting because he's distracted.

also just threw out madison's name to johnny. if this shit backfires on me ill be ):

yo yo yo homies!!! fuck the scavenger hunt and the mobile Skype app !! Lowkey scared but I think I’m close with everyone on the tribe except madi soooooooooo that’s probably who will go tonight. I’ve connected a lot with Monty and am hoping we can work together closely moving forward 💕not sure how useful my relationship with Zach is going to be come swap/merge bc it seems like he’s ALREADY making himself a target like the big doof he is. More later 💋

Hello tumblr survivor world! Sorry I didnt confess for episode 1, I was going to but i accidentally exited out of the page when i almost finished writing it. Anyways, it was just a cast assessment for my tribe so tl;dr everyone on my tribe is great and its really sad that we have to vote someone out now. So this whole weekend I was away so I was REALLY worried that I would be voted out since I sat out of the challenge. But after talking to Johnny and Isabelle, it seems like Madison will be voted out tonight. Which is so bad bc this her first game in a year, but hey it's our first vote and it's not me so it's not really the time to make a stand. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Okay I took a break from writing this confessional and there's moreeeeeeeee so part 2 I guess. So I had a call with Johnny and we came up with an alliance of me, him, Isabelle, and Benji. What an iconic alliance, right? But also while Johnny and I talked we got onto the topic of idols and why it is that there hasn't been an idol post yet. I brought up that wayyyyyy back when in Malaysia and some other games around that time, some of the idol hunts were less clear cut. We ended up looking at the blog and clicking the "idol system" tab and it brought us to some weird crab video with audio that sounds like a pokemon cry? Idk part of me thinks its just a joke but I also have to consider that it might be SOMETHING. It said remember to like and subscribe so I sent a screenshot of me liking and subscribing to see if that would do anything but nope. Johnny said he'd do some thinking about it and get back to me later if he figures something out. Also tribal seems super clear cut so I'm a bit less worried now but y'know how it is I can't not worry about tribal.

i just spent $8 on a spectogram and STILL cant find this fucking idol im gonna kms... monty im sorry im steam rolling ahead looking for this thing without telling you, but thank you for the first clue xoxo... if i get stumped in the future ill reach out for SURE (but idt you trust me that much so this seems kinda valid to me) ((FOUR HOURS LATER: i told monty lololol)) ALSO FOR FUCKS SAKE I think madison is gonna go, and truthfully, im fine with it because it's the easiest thing to do due to her poor performance in the past few challenges and just being the least AROUND the tribe, but i know that it'd probably be better for me long term to get rid of abby because i just dont see her as a long term ally for me. i think she's close to JJ and Megan on the other tribe, and she's becoming much more acclimated to the tumblr survivor community that i just BET that she maybe has an additional connection on the rookie tribe. If I can attempt to break that up before we get to a swap, I think that's what im going to have to do figure out if we lose another challenge before a swap... i dont really want to see ANYBODY else go besides abby if im thinking about a second boot. i bet it wont be easy to take her out tho also, if madison goes, this is like...... lowkey vindication for game changers???? last night i talked about this with monty and i was like hmmmm "is it ugly to bring up past game history?" and his response was "not if it's within the same series" .... so. vindication

---

omg i just told madison how to find the idol system thing i hope she doesnt tell anyone i told her about it LMAO........ this almost seems too easy.i got added to two alliances today. why do i not feel safe? is it me going? WTF IS GOING ON

excited to be first boot because no one will TALK TO ME! 

Things haven’t changed much since my last confessional! As far as I know the tribe hasn’t started into alliances and we’re all riding some excitement at having so far avoided tribal. I think the rest of the tribe and I are all feeling good and just focusing on making the tribe switch without losing any members.

from round 2 https://youtu.be/fk002uG2HoI

Hi sorry I forgot to do a confessional this round so this will be short imma just say a few things 1. I don’t trust julian one bit he can stop being shady to me 2. I can’t believe we aren’t going to tribal I’m so fkn happy i was able to pull out the win for our tribe because I didn’t want to lose anybody else 3. I love and adore will with all of my being and he’s my number 1 ally right now 4. I find it highly doubtful that there’s only one idol in this game and that you can’t find it until merge but that’s as far as I can get in the idol search for now so I guess there’s nothing I can do about it 5. I’m still having fun can’t wait to fuck up another flash game yay!!!

My Purple edit is amazing right now. But having played more games than most of these newbies, I have decided to take on the role of teacher and becoming more of a "role model" for these newbies. I feel like I have the closest bond with Zach, and I need to get a little closer with Collin. I have Grace from past games, and then there are the others who I do not really have any strong bonds with at the moment. I guess I need to start going to them more and show that I want to work with them.

Day 2

IT’S FRIDAY!!!

THAT MEANS NO CLASS. NO PLACE TO BE. NO OBLIGATIONS!

    Today I woke up at 4 am because one of my roommate's posters fell on her and she felt the need to ask me if it scared me. It didn’t, I honestly didn’t even notice it so she woke me up at 4 am for no reason. But it ended up alright. We talked for about an hour after just about random stuff. It was nice. once I fell back asleep I woke up actually around 10:30 and had some fruity pebbles. Fruity pebbles are a must and probably will be a recurring theme in this blog. Anyways I just kinda sat on my computer doing some homework and trying to figure out how to pay rent. $550. That's how much I was told I was paying and then all of a sudden there were all these added expenses. I had to pay a security deposit to the girl living here before me. $187.50. As to why I paid her and not the building is still weighing me. And then $40 for a membership fee and 25 dollars for paying rent late, then $100 for parking and 15 more dollars because they raised rent apparently. Oh and then 16 dollars as a service charge! 933.50!!!!!!! 933.50!!!!!! lmao that’s a lot of money for one day holy. I don’t even have a job! but it's fine, I’m fine (insert nervous laugh).

    Nothing really happened the rest of the day. I ate a nice sandwich for lunch. It contained turkey, cheese, lettuce, and Miracle whip! Miracle whip is soooo good! if anyone says it tastes exactly like mayonnaise they are wrong and we just will never be friends. I am PASSIONATE about my Miracle Whip!  Other than my sandwich, Nigibh made me go get a hula hoop with him again from a different target. And this time they actually had some! Then I just went home and took a nice nap. It was a good two hour nap I had a dream. I remember I had one and thinking, "man that was weird" but now I cannot think of it. Anyways I woke up in a panic to like 10 messages and 4 missed calls from James. Once I called him back My panic turned into excitement he had gotten callbacks from every audition he tried out for! I KNEW IT! I am the best manager a little wannabe a-cappella dreamer could ask for!

    After that call things got a little wild. Nigibh’s hula hoop party was going down and I need to get my party pants on and show up ASAP! When I arrived the party atmosphere took over me. I was in a good mood I was ready to dance and talk to random people I was so ready. The only thing I needed was alcohol! I was in luck tho there was a group of 6 people heading to the liquor store. It was an easy decision when we got there because New Amsterdam was showing off their new flavor. We bought 3 bottles of it and I bought Pham (Tommy's roommate) a 34 dollar bottle of Hennessy. We got back to the party and within a few hours, all hell was about to break loose.

    I started off watching the slide show Nigibh had on the tv. It was all the pictures of him in France. I was drinking New Amsterdam and Arnold Palmer. It was soooo good I was in heaven from the get-go. Once the slide show finished the party was pretty lame. The music just wasn’t doing it for me so Pham and I tag-teamed to turn Nigibh’s shit off. I played Hood Go Crazy and the vibe of the party instantly got better. Pizza Rolls were getting thrown in the oven and more and more people were showing up. Some girls showed up and Nigibh was screaming. Her name is Richelle and she lives on my floor. I started talking to her and she was pretty cool This was about the time Pham took out the Hennessy and shots were rolling. All I remember was eating pizza rolls taking shots EVERY TIME Pham asked. There was a lot of alcohol being consumed this night. I got Richelle’s number and some other girls’ number because I NEED LADY FRIENDS!!! but it was a lot of fun. I was dancing and having a great time until… DUN DUN DUN!!!! Tommy came up to me saying he wasn’t feeling too hot, so I took him into the bathroom and puke was rolling out of him like non other. Now I’m not a puke person but since he is my boyfriend I guessss I’ll help him out a little bit. I would not watch him puke but I was there to flush the toilet haha. I was drunk as fuck and I could not see a thing but after being in there for probably 20 minutes I rushed to the other bathroom myself a was just puking out everything. It was alright though I was basically just puking out the pizza rolls I was eating so it didn’t taste bad (tasted mmm mmmm good). I do remember being super scared I was going to choke because the chunks coming up felt like they were going to get stuck but eventually it turned to liquid and I was just tired and putting my head on the toilet. people were being so nice bringing me water and checking up to make sure I was still alive. Nigibh came up to me after I had been sleeping for an hour and was asking to go to the bathroom and I was like not about to get out to he peed with me in the bathroom. The whole time he was peeing I just remember getting grossed out and puked right when he was done lol. Pretty funny. People were then starting to leave and Victor (Tommy’s roommate) was going nuts running around talking about how Tommy was puking in one bathroom and his gf (me) was puking in another bathroom and then apparently Pham was puking Naked in another bathroom. I was giggling! Then Nigibh came into the bathroom and just started talking about himself for like hours! UHHHH POINTLESS!!! but he did bring me a whole bed and I slept in the middle of the hallway until Pham came stumbling back to his room and I saw his NAKED BUTT.
