There has gotta be a way for us to healthily engage in social media. I'm losing my mind. I think one of the very important factors to the solution is to kill capitalism.

unsolicited online dating advice
let's be real, i was just as blindsided as the next person and had no clue that a few months into this wretched year of our lorde 2020 we would be living through a major historical event that is the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic. so now, i'm home from university with nothing else to do, stuck in quarantine with no idea how long it would last. couple that with the fact that i am a complete gen z stereotype in the sense that i am always glued to my phone and my laptop, talking to strangers on the internet and broadcasting every single vapid detail of my relatively uninteresting life to a just-as-uninterested audience, and you have yourself a recipe for disaster.
two weeks and a thousand pages into the pornhub home page later, i got tired of the rinse and repeat and decided i wasn't gonna be that bitch who gets carpal tunnel less than a month into quarantine. question is, where would i put all the pent-up sexual frustration into now that the sweet release of pulling the padge is no longer an option? the answer? tinder.
by the time i finally got used to the sour taste that "e-dating" brings to my mouth, i realized i needed a game plan.
don't get me wrong, i'm no stranger to tinder and online dating, and i'm not even kidding when i say it's legitimately a war zone out there. god forbid u get hit by a stray hormone in the battlefield (in which case, f in the chat for our fallen soldier). but with the current situation in mind i knew i wasn't going into just any regular battle, hell not even a regular hunger games, but a full blown quarter quell.
this, of course, led me to convening a meeting with my two remaining brain cells: dumb and dumber. now the last thing dumb "retained" was a stupid ad from a youtube video: an e-toro ad. normally i would have dismissed that stupid idea (if you can even call it that) but given the shortage of manpower i decided to look at it in a different way. which then led me to thinking of approaching dating as a marketing strategy (which, by the way, whew! big reach. so glad i stretched before that one). in the vein of the ad topic, dumber decided to regurgitate the memory of an old tv commerial from my head.
tinder. meet, chat, date. olx. hanap, usap, deal.
see the difference between the two? yeah no, me neither.
so now i'm on board, even though i was totally not expecting to get a sensible idea from dumb and dumber. the problem is, how the fuck do i market myself as a person desirable enough to make people want to buy into the fantasy?
i tried forcing myself to remember every single econ related lecture and every single experience i had in grade school where i was forced to sell shit for grades until i've finally managed to unleash my inner entrepreneur. she came and she came ready. the bitch even brought with her a checklist so you know she means business (also because she's a capricorn, and they're all anal like that)
1. branding
i would be the first person to tell you my name is very pedestrian... the kind of pedestrian who's unlucky enough to be collateral damage in a freaky car accident. i have a white person's name too (christopher!!! yes as in colombus aka the world-renowned caucasian colonizer) so i'd say i'm not doing so hot in the branding department.
inner entrepreneur's solution? a nickname. one unique enough that it catches someone's attention, but not quirky enough to make them think your parents are hippies. in the end i chose toph, because it's not THAT common, and it gives the hot normies an opening to make avatar: the legend of aang puns so overall a win-win.
2. aesthetics
the mirror is not my friend, and nor is the camera. i'm what you would categorize as "aesthetically challenged"ㅡ in short, i'm ugly. but this aspect i wasn't really too worried about because i wasn't born yesterday. appearances, especially in photos, are easy to enhance. i knew my good angles and with the help of a few filters and good lighting i was all set. it also helps that i have an android phone because let's be real, who wants to look clapped in hd? certainly not me! i believe beauty is in the eye of the cctv footage quality selfie.
android - 1 apple - 0
3. product integrity
don't pretend to be something you're not because that jig gets real old real fast. i'm the type of person who likes to lay out all my cards on the table, and in that spirit, i'm upfront and honest to my matches about being a pathological liar. it's fun making them squirm by letting them second guess everything i say as they desperately try to decipher what i am and i'm not lying about. plus, everytime i feel the conversation slipping into snoozefest territory, i just say something wayyyy out of pocket and it shoots the conversation right back to party city! is it real, or did i make it up, who cares? who says i don't know how to keep a relationship spicy?
4. advertising
no, pleb, this does not mean you should buy tinder gold (unless you're an incel, in which case, be my guest). what this means is that i swiped religiously. i made sure i reached my like limit early so that i get maximum engagement by the time the 12-hour timer resets. the more users i liked, the more chances my profile appears in their cards, and in this house, we love good exposure!
so now you've read this far and you might be wondering, is this method successful? can i apply this to me too? and let me be the first to tell you it isn't. i would NOT have made a whole blog post and posted it on the internet for free for everyone to see if it did. the point here is that if you've read this far and thought "well maybe this can work" then i've successfully managed to waste a good few minutes of your time (or maybe not few, idk how fast you read), which in the age of quarantine, is a commodity you're bound to have too much of.
now, i believe a thank you is in order?

Ep. 2: “My secret alliance is over before it even started” - Tyler
Tumblr media
James Hayden
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f9uh2olp1Q&feature=youtu.be
Amy A.
Definitely more people coming up to talk to me and that makes me excited. Have had about 4 or 5 people tell me they wanna work with me and that’s amazing. Formed an alliance w Ryan and (totally forgot his name) called outsiders which is basically all of us not from USA. Hope they’re true allies. Excited for what’s going to happen next. 
Najwah
Tribal council was insane and intense. I understand why it's so easy for people to slip up when asked questions. My heart was racing to the point of me feeling nauseas haha. I can't believe we blindsided Neil. He took it well though. Aimee is feeling a little left out and I think she's taking it personally. I really like her though and would love to work with her too. I think it's about time we start a strong girls alliance. I may get Amy in on it too. And Sarah. We'll see. I can't guage where exactly I stand with people yet but people can lie lmao and I made more of those who lied very easily. Like James and Sarah. Watching them. 
Leanne
Mixed feelings on tribal. At least we are all still here, and at least I was on the right side of the boat. I didn’t have any bond with Neil so I didn’t care about seeing him voted out. But now I’m rethinking my relationship with Zach. What he decided to do today was dumb. Big moves just for the sake of big moves usually are. He kept repeating, the easy vote isn’t always the right vote, but sometimes it is, and I didn’t see a point in doing that, especially if it’s only for the sake of playing hard. You don’t play to go hard, you play to win! Of course I didn’t say that for three reasons. First, I didn’t care at all about Neil; he was perfectly expendable. Second, I still regard Zach as a close ally, at least for now. Third, once again no one will dare to be the dissenting voice. Right before Zach dropped that bomb shell, at least on me anyway, we were talking about how we trusted each other and wanted to go the distance together. He asked me who I was closest to, and I said him and Najwah. with Ben as a distant third, then floated the idea of starting a power trio with him and Ben. That’s when he told me Neil was the target. I asked whose idea it was, and he didn’t give me a name, he gave me reasons. I’m not sure if it was his move or not.
The other likely suspect is Cody, especially because when Zach brought the big group together, most were clueless... what’s going on here? Then Cody said, how about we summarize the events of the last hour? Well, I’d known about it for maybe a few minutes prior, but certainly not an hour. Cody at least knew about it before I did. I’m almost positive the idea was at least one of their’s.  right as it was all going down, when it was up in the air and I didn’t know which way it was going to go, Aimee messaged me and asked me for a name, and I told her Amy because at that point Zach made me promise to keep it confidential. I later found out that Zach wanted to bring her in but she had told him she was close to Neill. Oh, so *that’s* why you asked me who I was closest to. I’m wondering exactly who else he spoke to before he made the big group chat, and to what degree. He’s unpredictable, and I don’t like it. And in case I haven’t mentioned it, I very much don’t like making moves for the hell of it, with no good reason beyond that. But back to Aimee.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that she got left out of the vote. I was on the verge of messaging her privately and saying, I have new information but you have to promise it stays between us: I just found out the target is Neil, but vote Amy anyway in case he plays an idol. If I were her right now I’d be pissed and confused, and I wanted her to think I was on her side, and build a relationship, especially if she thinks everyone else is against her. But I didn’t trust her enough not to rat me out. Besides, the reason she was left out in the first place was because she was close to Neill. How close I don’t know, and I don’t know if she would have fought to protect him. So I am happy to have been included and on the right side of the numbers. It shows I’m not on the bottom tier, which seems to be Aimee, The outsider, and Amy, Who wasn’t around. And I knew she’d vote for me, I knew it, I knew it, because if I were her and didn’t have any information at all, that’s exactly what I’d do. Doesn’t mean I liked it but fair is fair.
The group consensus is that we can vote Amy as an easy vote next time. I just hope *someone* doesn’t flip again without a good reason. Amy TI am shocked, but also not shocked. I knew I was taking a HUGE risk not jumping on the initial video chat, but I slid through this vote. I had a feeling an alliance formed there. I almost reached out to a few I thought would be in that alliance before this vote, but didn't want to look like I was scrambling. I am thankful to make it through to the next round, and after today I no longer have company and will be semi settled into my new apartment, so I am really going to try to be more active in video calls so that I can bond better with my tribe.
I fear I am the next vote otherwise. I am also going to bring this up, and I don't know if I should, but I will say it anyway. I am actually quite disappointed in the vote, but it falls in line with the pattern of all survivor votes: first vote is most always a person of color or an elderly individual, and we have no one old. Sure, it's a coincidence, and I didn't really know Neil, but it's not a great pattern to uphold. But as others quoted Sandra, a will do the same: anyone but me. Now I am playing from the bottom, which is nerve-wracking.
Pedro A
i feel like i will sit out ..cause i dont feel good about this challenge
Pedro A
Also we came from Winning and if i screw it up...it will be all blamed on me...so its better if i just keep my name out of this one
John B
Watching the other tribe's tribal council has me stressed because it seems like Neil went because he was a threat. That does not sit well with me because I already have Ryan telling people I have the "winner vibes" I need to simultaneously kick it into high gear and keep a low profile if that's going to be the tone for the game. hopefully we can kill this challenge, this feels like something that is going to be up my Alley because I love Survivor Trivia. Hopefully this goes well because I do not want to get voted out!
Zack M
ok. setting a scene. let's pretend this is big brother. wrong show but play along with me. hey neil. if you seeing this, it's nothing personal. you were out of the chat all day yesterday and then had everyone eating out of your hand within 10 minutes of being back. you were ready to play but not as hard as me. i started with cody, worked it up through ben, added sarah into the mix, and then sprinkled the rest in. the recipe for your ending. sorry about it! hope to stay friends outside of the house. 
wait .... but srsly ... i did that. I CAUSED A BLINDSIDE. what?! i'm shook. i can't believe these people are listening to me. so wild. honestly knowing 4 people drafted me really put the fire in me. i always draft and i hate when i lose. this is me winning for me and you. feel free to venmo me to show your support.
in all honesty. it was strictly a game move. neil was a threat. we all saw it. that's it. i know i could possibly have a huge target on my back but i feel like i'm playing a strong social game. i hope the people in my final 4 trust me (sarah, ben, and cody) because i'm ride or die for them. i asked to make sure getting neil out wouldn't hurt their game. look at me being thoughtful. hopefully they notice it and hopefully the rest believe all the lies i tell him. because truly, it was so last minute. *evil smile* 
Zack M
am i confessing too much? i don't know BUT challenge 2 is survivor knowledge and i have none. -oop. i'm a fake fan. i live tweet and forget. hoping my team pulls this one out because i'm going to MCDs for some chicken nuggets and then continuing with my social game. 
also, amy thanked me for keeping her but she didn't thank any of the other people in my alliance. does amy know more than we think? also, your'e welcome amy. 
Pedro A
I feel this challenge will be a MESS...we will for sure lose, ...Tyler is not even seeing any of the messages...and some people are seeing the messages and not choosing A PAIR....i kinda feel like we will lose...the other tribe will bring they're A game....i just hope at this point...THAT A MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN
Tyler H
Ok I’m very upset my secret alliance is over before it even started! But I don’t think I’m in a bad spot right now, I think I’m growing an army slowly and all I can do is hope we don’t lose the next challenge and I can gain momentum 
James Hayden
https://youtu.be/hvUgCa6joQc
Aimee
NEIL! BUDDY! I’m soooo sorry!!!! I had no idea the majority was going to blindside you like that! It was just horrible to watch. I’m gonna play my heart out for you! You deserved a chance to play this game! I hope you make it on the real Survivor! I don’t understand what made these people so threatened by you, I did not see anything of the sort. You were voted out I guess because you were pleasant????? Well...We’ll have to play Dead by Daylight on PlayStation once this is over for me. Take care of yourself and I’m sure we’ll talk again real soon.
As far of my read on the game....I am not clueless. The second the votes were read I knew Amy voted for Leanne, Neil and I were set up to vote for Amy and everyone else voted for Neil. I messaged people who bold-faced lied to me about the vote and they all confirmed my suspicions without me having to say anything about it. Hahahahahha. Do these kids really think I am that simple? I might’ve been recruited but this is absolutely not my first rodeo. 
Oh, and for the record... and this is obvious: Leanne Zack and Sarah are all working together. You heard it here first. Guys, your messages to me are extremely telling. I guess I truly am Michelle playing this game now...how fitting. But get ready for your girl to pull all the stops from the underdog position. It’s where I honestly will thrive.
Already hopped right onto Amy before anyone got a chance to set me up and say “oh well Aimee wanted to vote for you”. Yeah that wasn’t even true, everyone adamantly told me to do that and it was the majority. They set her up too. Also checked back with my girl Najwah (think we are in it to win it), Cody, as well as James and Ben. (Hoping these guys are being genuine with me too) Think that is my best bet moving forward. All 4 of these people claimed they were told last minute...which I believe. NOBODY bothered to tell Amy anything. It is absolutely bizarre to me that they thought me and Neil were so close that they couldn’t tell me about that vote? All night and day no one said anything about the vote and I had the hunch that Zack probably had the most social capital out of anyone so I reached out to him first. He is honestly the biggest threat but it’s no kidding that he and Leanne chose Neil to be the target. Leanne absolutely shit the bed with the typing challenge! Okay? I tripled her score and I was not going that fast. Let me just talk about that again real quick....600 numbers in an hour?! Did that math.... that’s one number typed every five seconds. Did she like, stop typing and go grab a snack or text her friends on her phone or something? How is that possible?! Make it make sense. 
To be honest, for everyone not bothering messaging me after the vote to smooth things over and try preserve my relationship with them proves how sloppy they are being with this vote. AGAIN I had to be the one to reach out to almost everyone, just like yesterday. They think they are playing next level 4D chess but they are severely underestimating me. Could’ve been an easy vote but I guess people to want to make “big movez” even when it is detrimental for us as a tribe. I could cause a lot of damage and I have the knowledge; know that! If I made the jury, would I give them a vote for that kind of gameplay? Nope. I am keeping all this information in and playing it very chill and “yes girl” but I will absolutely strike when I need to. I have an ability to make people feel comfortable and trust me and maybe even feel guilt about how they treated me. I will ride that wave as far as I can until I can set up shop for the next vote. 
Zack M
here to nervous rant .. i thought got a strike because i sent a screenshot of my call log to a group i accidentally cheek called when a friend's phone disconnected. lol what?! trust me .. i know. TODAY HAS BEEN A DAY FOR ME. 
look the truth is .. i would do it again! i know there is a target on my back after switching the votes and getting neil out. i don't need anything extra working against me at the moment. breaking rules, lying, .... am i the bad boy of the season? because like i'm not cool enough for that title. 
Zack M
ok. i'm seriously over this challenge. who even knew survivor wiki was a thing? why would you remember / want to remember this stuff? i'm reading some of the things that the tribe is adding and thinking to myself, "did i even watch survivor?" 
the only thing i can remember is wendy freeing the chickens, kim not winning winners at war, and chris underwood's penis bulge. that's his last name, right? like i could literally draw it for you. why can't that be a challenge?
anyways, tomorrow should be fun. i'll have to pretend that i'm contributing if jay doesn't accept my idea to play the word game with their names. fingers crossed we win. however, i'm not too hopeful. i have a feeling the other team has some good players. is it bad i'm ready for the merge this early? also, if we don't lose ... what do i do with all that free time? how am i supposed to bond more? all i care about is making sure that ben, sarah, and cody stay loyal to me. i know i should want to merge with numbers but i think it's clear i like a challenge. i want a resume and a cover letter when i get to the end. 
Ryan
I've put so much effort into this challenge. Kinda desperately hoping that my tribe sees that and realise I'm valuable. Or more valuable then some at least
John B
Lol remember when I said I might throw Maddison under the bus? Well strike that because we are for sure working together now. We may be behind in the challenge but honestly I’m not worried because it’s super close so far and half the tribe hasn’t done anything yet so I think we will be fine. If we don’t end up pulling out the win my target will still probably be Ryan. I could see people going for Tyler or honestly even Amy (just because she’s not on very often) but if I have a say I definitely want Ryan out. I do not trust him at all. Hopefully it won’t come to that but at least I have a plan.
Alan B
I think this game is gonna be pretty hard to manage alongside work especially while covid has got my mental health just blasted, i might end up dropping out before my time, but for now i think i'll hold on for at least a little while longer
Zack M
omg we still have two hours left of this competition. i've done all i'm willing to do to pretend like was helping out. finger crossed the host doesn't share how many facts each person contributed. i would have like 3. lol. 
real note, i thought this game was one night like sequester. i didn't know what i was signing up for. i feel duped. but i needed a second to step away. i started out playing so hard. i need switch up my strategy. this is a sprint, not a marathon. i don't need to run the tribe. i just need to be in all the conversations. haha. 
i have a feeling we will be losing tonight so i'm just chilling. ready to see what everyone says. again, i feel like i have a huge target on my back.
i'm like kat on big brother last season, "are you bitches conspiring against me?"
the only people i haven't talked to one on one is james and najwah. james is in my 5. i'll have a conversation with him tonight or i'll have a conversation in the group of 5. one or the other. i feel like i should talk to najwah as well but i like is that obvious. maybe i'll start it right when the challenge is done, before we know if we won or lost. that's a little more chill, right? ugh. 
amy would be the easiest vote but i feel like she would be on my side. najwah is the only person i would care to vote out but i feel like cody and leanne are close to her. 
oh, not sure if i shared this but leanne wanted to start a trio with ben and i. that's cool. i like leanne so i'd like to keep her as long as possible.
this confession is starting to get lazy so i'm going to go back to watching real housewives of potomac. i'll check in win or lose .... because we have to. :) 
Alan B
I'm trying to be a team player so that we don't have to vote anyone out for as long as possible, but i feel like this is a bad strategy long term - especially once the merge happens then it'll be gone and i'll be a threat
Zack M
told you we were going to lose. that's it. that's the confessional. 
Olivia A
I’m super proud of us for winning the second challenge! I feel really good about my contribution and our team work. I think the excitement from continuing to win will keep motivating us and hopefully lead to a significant streak. 
Pedro A
im so happy that we won...even tho some people that dont understand the concept of  team work 
Maddison
This challenge really showed who is pulling their weight. Even though the doc was anonymous, the chat activity and general conversation led me to believe there are a couple of slackers that should be first to go when the time comes. I hope my tribemates don’t grow complacent after these two wins. The other tribe will be out for blood. 
Amy A
So far I’ve spoken privately with everyone except Tyler and some two others. So I’m guessing my social game isn’t shabby. Also, we WON again. Such a delight because I don’t want to do tribal council this early in the game. Idol hunting was a bust today too but hoping for the best. Madison and I seem to be getting closer by the day. She checks in with me most of the time and hypes me  up for challenges. Definitely want to be aligned with her. 
John B
Winning feels AMAZING, especially since half of the tribe hadn't started until half the time was gone. Our tribe feels really strong right now. That being said, I definitely noticed some people not participating as much as everyone else, Tyler disappeared and didn't contribute for most of the challenge. I think it is safe to say he will probably be first out from our tribe at this point if we lose, but who knows anything can happen. I'm still gunning for Ryan. Hopefully we can keep this positive momentum going. I am going to keep working on my alliance. I have all of the pieces with my relationships with Pedro, Maddison, Grae, Olivia, and kind of Alan, I just need to wait for the right time to bring the pieces together.

SORRY FOR THIS BRICK. Wow. There is too much to talk about after tonight. Lost another challenge in which everyone kicked ASS. This vote at tribal council is definitely not based on a lack of effort on anyone’s part. 
Right now, we have our majority of five (Cody, Zack, Ben, James, and I) so we can decide who goes home. We are leaning toward Amy (with a Y) because she’s not as available and we really need people on the tribe to be all in. We have made a large group with everyone but Amy saying it’s Amy so everyone feels included and we aren’t exposing our majority alliance. Of course we are worried that Aimee may be talking to Amy and expose all of us. Or that Amy has an idol so maybe a 7-1-1 vote would be safer. Amy is really just trying to get in a group and is reaching out to everyone to the point where she is copy and pasting her messages that she’s sending us. 😂 Leanne told Amy that people are saying Aimee so if we need to tell Amy that as well we can. I am a little worried about Leanne if she is telling lies that easily. I have really enjoyed getting to know my alliance well these past few days. HOW HAS IT ONLY BEEN FOUR DAYS.  Zack is always bringing the comic relief and Ben and James are so loyal and genuine. Cody is my RIDE or DIE. I am hoping that people don’t catch on to how close we are but we do have so much trust in each other and just are always on the same page. Having a ride or die has always been my Survivor strategy. Cody and I are praying to those Survivor gods that we can stay on the same tribe come tribal swap time. Amy T
Right after challenge results 7/13. https://youtu.be/dC7ORD2w4BQ
Amy T
update 10pm pst 7/13. Well I have reached out to everyone and I am so confused. Right after the challenge Leanne threw out Aimee's name saying everyone is saying that. Which was odd because it was so soon. I quickly learned there is a large group chat which I'm not in, so it is possible. But I asked around and people either didn't say a name or know what they were doing, or they said they heard Aimee from Leanne. So here's where I stand either they are all saying the same thing to me and it's actually me going home. or Leanne is trying to run the show and she is making up who to vote for on a whim and then saying everyone is saying this. I tend to think that it's actually too early for them to have a large group. And I honestly think Leanne is misinforming people on purpose. I'm fine with whoever as long as it's not for me but it rubs me the wrong way to think somebody you know next to vote can just say my name or someone I'm working with name on a whim and just tell everyone that you know everyone is saying this and everyone goes with it. Because it seems like the last vote she also fed information to people. So as it stands now I am leaning towards Leanne but I haven't made a move on that because I'm scared I'm coming off as playing too hard and I know that's what got me all voted out. In the end it doesn't make a difference if they do have a large chat because they already know and I'm already gone but if that's not the case I Maybe the only one sticking their neck out. And maybe it's stupid me because it's not even my name on the shopping block that I know of. Well we'll see if I make it through this but if I do and if I can gather votes, There is a possibility to get numbers. I think I have Ben on my side Aimee on my side I think Zack is on my side unless he is close with Leanne and it seems like Cody might want to work with me. That everyone's lying to me and I'm going home so haha.
Leanne
Feeling a bit frustrated and discouraged at the moment; two losses will do that to you. Trying to organize my thoughts into something resembling order. I was relieved and optimistic when I saw what the challenge was going to be. We had a fighting chance. It was close and it was intense. These last few days on the whole have been intense, and I don’t think I realized that would be the case. There’s definitely a question of just how much I’m going to be willing to give to this. How many more times am I willing to stay up way too late because somebody wants to get on a call? How much more am I going to make myself available at damn near any hour to drop everything and jump on Skype every time it goes off? If you absent yourself from any of it you’re a target, and that’s what’s going on with Amy right now. I’ve been talking to a few people, most notably Zach and Ben, and the consensus seems to be Amy. I would be fine with this, but their reasoning alarmed me somewhat. They said Aimee had been going around talking to people, trying to figure out why she was left out of the vote. Well, she hasn’t been talking to me. Amy, on the other hand, has. We’ve had a few good conversations yesterday and the night before, and it doesn’t look like she’s talked to anyone else. So it would be a lot more beneficial for me to have her around, who is presumably talking to me over and above others, then to have Aimee, who is talking to others and not me. But I don’t think I’ll try to change things for a number of reasons, not least of which because I have no idea how to justify my position. Also I’m not sure how strong our little power trio is or isn’t, and I don’t want a repeat of last time, a shakeup just for the sake of a shakeup. Let’s not set the precedent that that’s a thing that will just happen. The tribe seems so unified against Amy. Cody put us all into a group without her and we all agreed summarily to get rid of her. She might have made a good ally but I think I may just have to sacrifice her; she probably isn’t worth fighting to protect. I reached out to Aimee... Best start trying to build that up. We got in a few superficial commiserations about losing but nothing more than that. I don’t feel good about her.
In other news, I’ve been trying to solicit info on the idol hunt, with little success. Najwah and I have taken similar paths. I asked her about it, and she got back to me, but she did so just as my turn was happening. I really wish I had more Intel on what’s on the mountain. Zach says he’s found nothing, and I hesitate to go there in case there’s something bad. I thought that earlier on but doubly so now that I know we have a disadvantage in the next challenge, dammit!!!!! I’m going to ask Najwah if hers was in the perfume, so I know what not to do. I’ve been considering trying to pole coins with her and go in together on the jewelry box or something. Haven’t decided yet. I may go up the mountain after all. First I want to ask a few of my tribemates where this disadvantage was. It tells us as a team not to go there, and if it’s a binary option, go left or right down the road for instants, and left leads to something bad... Well anyway I haven’t decided what to do yet.

Okay, so today I wanna talk to Kalle, Maddison, and Tyler...I didn't have the chance to talk to them yet...so I wanna see where they're head is at the moment.
Also, I feel like I can trust Alan... I gave them my coins...and now they have an idol...... I feel like they can trust me now....and also....i feel like we can use the idol to our advantage...since no one else knows were in an alliance..except for John.
John is my nº1 person in this game....which could later in the game kick my butt....I'm afraid he might be more respected than me down the line... I guess only time will tell...now I gotta go the bathroom byeeeee

Morning of day 5 and I'm nervous/paranoid AF! I talked to Ben last night for twenty minutes about short term and long term strategy. We both agreed that voting out Amy is everyone's best move and will cause the least amount of waves. I went to bed feeling good about my position in the game. This morning I woke up to a message from Sarah suggesting we do a 7-1-1 in case Amy has an idol. I responded saying I don't think she has an idol, but if she does should we do a 6-2-1, so we can decide who goes and avoid a revote? That was around 8:00am CST and she hasn't responded. I know she read it which is freaking me out. Did she just throw that out there to see my response and to throw me off he scent of my blindside???? I'm nervous that some shady shit's happening. 
I also sent a good morning message to the vote out Amy group chat around 8:45 and no one responded!!! We are active chatters and the fact that no one responded worries me. I hope I'm just overthinking this, which is on brand for me, and nothing bad will happen tonight. But I don't know. If it's me, I wouldn't be surprised. I hate that I'm thinking about this on day 5. I'm not even close to finishing this game. 
Note: Cody and Ben just responded in our group chat as I typed this. we may be good then??? 
Note: I lost power this morning, so I'm at my parents house who have power and AC. No AC in the summer in New Orleans is no good. I would've recorded this, but they're sleeping and I didn't want to disturb them.

So, idol hunt news. Go figure, I was so freaked out about finding a disadvantage that I didn’t want to do anything at all, and of course I went and got one. A certain Alanis Morissette verse about being afraid to fly comes to mind. I am now debating whether I should quietly tell a few people, so that people know what not to do. We are in serious need of a win here, and this next round isn’t looking good. I told Zach, in a, don’t make the same mistake, kind of way. Even though I don’t feel quite as fantastic about him as I did before the last tribal, I still do consider him an ally, at least for now. So for now I will give him good info about things, if only because I want good info from him in return. This next tribal should make things more clear. We were talking about Amy this morning. He said she’s scrambling and wanting to know where the vote is going, and pointing out how there’s a whole chat going on with everyone except her. So I said, in a way I hoped would get the message across, well at least we know that this is going to be easy and no crazy stuff and no drama. He affirmed that, and brought up several times the easy vote thing. So at least it looks like he doesn’t want to rock the boat. If something crazy happens between now and then he’ll be marked in my mental file folder as unpredictable and suspicious. If not then I will move forward trusting him.

Alrighty, so many developments since the challenge ended. SO! Pedro and I have been talking about the possibility of a tribe swap/expansion which has us both STRESSED. I also found out that Alan has the immunity idol because Pedro donated some coins to them. This is great to know even though it is terrifying. Hopefully Alan and I are on good terms, I feel like we are but until we vote and we can see where everyone stands, who's to say. Kalle and I have been talking a lot more and I think we are definitely settling into an alliance. We are both getting bad vibes from Tyler which feels like the general consensus so far. He disappeared from the challenge yesterday which I think we all noticed. I love that we keep winning but I think if we go too long without a vote things might get messy. For now, we are perpetually in a state of the calm before the storm, at least I have Pedro.
Kalle N
While I'm glad that we won another challenge, I'm also sad bc this means we still don't really have to strategize. Thankfully people have still been reaching out to me though. The "rox the sox" alliance is still good I think even though it's been quiet and no strategy has really been discussed. I've been talking a lot to John, and we actually both started throwing out names of people we've talked to and who we don't like so far. John told me he's good with Pedro and Maddison after I said I was good with them (I said their names bc I know they've talked to almost everyone and I wanted to see if he would agree or give other names but he didn't). We also both agreed that we get bad vibes from Tyler which is reassuring bc I really want to vote him when we get the chance. He also said he trusts me 100% and wants to talk real strategy and I don't think he'd have any reason to lie to me yet so I'm also trusting him. 
Zack M
oop- i drank a bottle of wine last night and forgot to confess. my b. i mean, really nothing has changed. back to the first tribal vote .... it's amy's time. some of my alliance members want aimee out but i'm really trying hard to push that out of their mind. 
do i trust aimee? absolutely not. is she a bigger threat than amy? 100%. however, amy suffers from a common disease called "not being able to read the room". i know she is scared and she is scrambling but it's messy. when you are in the majority alliance and everyone is sharing that you're copying it pasting it's low key embarrassing and like that's nothing against amy! truly. she is a pleasure and like i would totally facetime her in the future and gossip with a beer. a lesson in the future if you're reading this amy, make sure to be around on night one! gotta build connections. also, copy and paste is not your friend. get creative. i always write these and then think at the end ... lol what if i go home?  i'm going to look so stupid. but honestly my social game is so strong right now. hoping it pays off. if not, whatever it's a compliment. let's be real for one second. we all know i'm the biggest threat on this tribe at the moment. if i fall from the top, at least i was at the top. and it was beautiful. oh and also cody and i thought we were slick and were going to get the idol at the market today so i gave him 5 coins. it wasn't the idol. that sucks. but i would rather be the one holding it so i'm not sweating it. 
Najwah
Yesterday's immunity challenge is still haunting me. I was literally working on that shit for over 12 hours and TRIED SO HARD, however it seems as though some people just didn't try at all? So many people were just tapped out and made ZERO effort. They're the same people that seem to be running things and making the big decisions? Also there is talk of someone having found the immunity idol. I approached Aimee with the idea of starting a women's alliance because honestly, I got annoyed at the guys (EXCEPT MY BOY CODY) yesterday. My alliance with Leanne seems solid. Sarah hasn't spoken to me since the first day. Today is also the first day of shark week so I feel very shit and tired. If I stay up until 3am only to be voted out I am going to be big mad. Zack reached out to me last night. I actually have a lot more in common with him. We have unanimously decided to vote Amy out but I don't really trust any of them.if it were real life survivor and I could see people's eyes and read their body language, I'd have made a move to somehow let Amy stay and get someone else out. Perhaps someone else is doing that and they're getting me out lmao. I can't believe we lost again. I hate it here.

Dear Confessional,
Hello Jay. It's me, Ben. Every tribal council makes me nervous but I will take these people down one by one using my charm and good looks. After 2 challenge losses, I'm fairly content just losing every challenge and voting all these paranoid people out one by one. I'm cool with that. Might make it happen, who knows. The Amy's are scary because they won't say anything concrete. But I am 20 years old and therefore invincible. If I get voted out tonight I am going to look like a dumbass. Feel free to send this to the VL. I will win this game but it is a marathon, and people are playing it like a sprint. 
John B
YIKES! As if he wasn’t already a Target Tyler just shot himself in the foot. He made such a rude comment about the other tribe and I am uncomfortable. I think if we lose it’s pretty set in stone who the first out is going to be at this point.
Olivia A
On my first idol hunt I went to the market and found the prices of various items. There was a jewelry box for 20 coins and I feel like there’s probably a clue or something in there. Right now I have 10 coins that I found in the boat and I’m hoping to find more so I can buy the jewelry box before anyone else does. 
Aimee
You know? This confessional would’ve looked a looooot different last night after we lost again and just the sheer amount of mind games going on, and anger and frustration but you know what! I feel like I have come full circle. This won’t be the same daily bitchfest as usual. At least not at the moment. Right, so, tonight I am either being blindsided, or I finally actually have my footing in this game. The vote will test that. I am going home...or not. All I can do is rely on my social skill and connections I have with people here who actually talk. I have my roots in almost every contestant and I am hearing things that match with other people are saying...so if I leave then EVERYONE is lying and EVERYONE had to play me not just some. It’s a little doubtful but anything can happen within fifteen minutes as we seen last time. Information is everything! I feel like although I am playing from the bottom, I am not playing blind. By having the Individual connections with people like Cody, Ben, Najwah, James, and Zack, I can compare and tell if what people are saying is true or not. Amy is another huge piece of the puzzle people overlook. I really wish Amy wasn’t on the outs and I really like her but everyone on this tribe formed a group chat without her in it and said it’s her. Interesting thing is, they have no idea how much I have talked to Amy and the tea she is spilling about what they’re saying too.
I learned that Leanne told her that they all had a group chat episode one as well that didn’t include her me or Neil fifteen minutes before the vote. Amy told me she is going around asking people who the vote is which Leanne apparently told her it was me. I think it’s a ploy so she votes me but the vote hopefully really is not. Knowing she is talking to people, I can cross check with the people who I am closest to in the game besides Amy. Which they confirm she is running around talking to everyone making people paranoid. The people I am closest to don’t want another fifteen minute thing again and are saying no one is talking to them and it makes them nervous and at least I am taking. Like........?????? That has been exactly the case. No one really seems to ever be talking?!?!?!?!? They say they trust me because Im not quiet and I don’t just spit names out at them last second. And guess what? That matches up because it’s how some people talk to me too. I caught people who never talk to me just coming up to me like episode one being like Sarah asking “are you okay with the vote?”  I’m like....uhhhh what vote? The one that I talked only with Zack about? Oh! So he told you? Great now I know you’re together hahahahaha.
Leanne is another one who doesn’t really talk to me at all but always seems to be leading the vote after someone. Other people confirm this with me too. Oh and don’t forget people using the SAME VOCAB WORDS I USED to one person and repeat them to me minutes later. Pretty obvious. I think by just playing a half way decent normal social game I can start really getting a foothold here if I can just make it through this vote. But apparently that is what made Neil such a threat last time. I have to adapt constantly, whether it is talk more or don’t talk too much. It’s really hard to play when no one says much to each other but that’s the mold I have to break through.
Grae G
Hewwooo uh so busted my ass on that challenge that shit was ROUGH but you know you gotta do what you gotta do. I’m officially aligned with: Olivia kalle Maddison (as an alliance), individuals: John, & Alan. I’m talking to Pedro and Amy but we aren’t aligned. I feel like I have pretty good movability W all the talking but I definitely get the sense that everyone is talking to one another far more than I am, but I just don’t have the time to do more :(( Tyler seems like the consensus first vote out if that has to happen but from there not sure what’s next for everybody. Honestly if we can keep winning cool because I’m nervous about my place in the tribe so if we don’t have to go to tribal alright be me. If I felt more confident w the ally’s if had I’d say differently... but ya! Feeling like ok at least bc I know people want to talk to me and are starting lots of convos with me so I know my approachability is going well. 
Zack M
tribal is coming up. the worst thing would be if amy and aimee are playing together. one of them has an idol that they play for amy and write down someone else.
i feel like that's a long shot though. if it does happen ... dear god, please don't let it be me. i wonder what i would do if i were amy. i feel like i would have been more vocal to more people at once. not just hit up people individually. i would have felt around to see who i think are in groups and message them. i really hope people are as obvious when they are voting me out as they have been with her because i have no problems addressing the entire tribe with gossip i may be hearing. can you imagine? first tribal, blindside. second tribal, fight? amy kept asking who "everyone" is ...... it would have been iconic if she messaged the entire group "leanne said everyone." i would have screamed. but that is my game, not hers. this is more fun then i thought it would be but i'm also so tired of it. thank you for helping me realize i don't actually want to be on the show. i also just found out the the VL people don't read this immediately and i'm bummed. but like i'm still going to act like they can. ugh, i love you guys. hopefully i'm still around tonight. xoxo.
Amy T
DAMN IT I SAW IT COMING like right after last tribal then I tried to play my way out and they convinced me it was Aimee. https://youtu.be/gHm3J6X9fvE < this was minutes before tribal. I was walking home earlier and almost made one simply "It's me." haha It's so funny because I kept almost saying "well it's either everyone is for Aimee or it's me" then there were just so many hints that it was me, but I was hoping to sneak my way in to the main active people and those willing to talk, who I think they are running the game. so I can't tell if zack is with leanne or what but I have a feeling ben and cody have a hand in running things based on how they jumped right at working with me and the timing of their responses lol. I am KICKING myself for not making a girls alliance. I hope they do it. But let's be real scores haven't been great against the other team. The youths are killing it haha! also everyone was nice, so as much as I want to be like EFF YOU, I did enjoy getting to know them even though they were openly lying to me hahahaha whoops damn it. I hope to play again when I can dive in day one instead of immediately being on the outs.

Ep. #5 - “You Should Be Fucking Festive!” - Amanda
Tumblr media
A tribe swap occurred based on a number between 1-1000 that the players chose when they applied to the game.  Everyone who picked on odd number was put on Togye and everyone who picked an even number was put on Mata. On the new tribes, Steffen found the Legacy Advantage that was hidden on the blog.  The tribes were given their next Immunity challenge which was the Lip Sync music video challenge.  While both tribes got bad reviews from the judges, Mata pulled off the victory with their take on “Best of Both Worlds”, even with Amanda using her challenge advantage for Togye.  With everyone but Ashley getting to visit The Cave, it was completely ransacked.  Amanda found an extra vote and both Keegan and Linus found a Hidden Immunity Idol.  Heading into Tribal Council, Togye was split on the vote with the 4 Fans and 4 Favs going against each other.  10 minutes before Tribal, Amanda decided she would use her extra vote and which broke the tie sending Adrian Home.  Keegan also ended up playing his Hidden Immunity Idol to ensure his safety but it was not needed.
Tumblr media
I’d totally film a vid confessional, but my hair is in a towel right now.  So I just got thrown onto a new Mata tribe… in the minority of old Mata members.  Allll the other Official Fives got swapped over to Togye, leaving me with just Linus and Leah.  Good thing I was still trying to make connections with them, but not as crazy as the alliance.  I like both of them a lot and genuinely want to stick with them in a vote on this tribe.  Hope to win immunity, I may need it here.
Tumblr media
Tribe swap came. Not the three tribe swap I was anticipating but into two tribes with uneven numbers. Fortunately, four of the Official Five are on the new Togye, with four faves. There’s no majority which is good and bad. Unfortunately, the new Mata has a faves majority and our alliance member Krysten is over there. I’m confused about how to proceed. We very well may be picked off one by one.
Tumblr media
So this swap is…. Interesting. I am just glad that I am in the situation of having a completely split tribe rather than being in the minority. I really hope Steffen stays safe. He is like my #1. I also hope that our tribe just wind the immunity challenges up until merge. Idk where everyone’s loyalties lay and Idk if I can even trust some of my old tribe mates. I hope having won last immunity does not make me a target. Brett also won and is on my tribe so maybe it wont make us targets then.
Tumblr media
Another blindside went well. Maybe it wasn’t truly a blindside but he did think people were doing Leah. I am shocked that we tribe swapped into just 2 tribes. Especially at final 15. That left tribes 8-7 and in a sense the tribes were split kinda fairly. 4 Faves went to Togye and 4 went to Mata. While 4 Fans went to Togye and 3 went to Mata. That is the sad part. Mata Is Faves majority and Fans not so much. Now I truly think The Original Five alliance is golden and would work very well but Krysten is the only one stuck on Mata. She is going to need to find some type of way to get herself out of this mess. I can’t believe it though that the swap did work well. I want Linus out and I hope 4 faves go for him. Leah has ammunition to flip as well. I gave Leah as much info as she needs and she can easily through both Linus and Krysten under the bus with what the info I gave her. Hopefully that just doesn’t bite me in the butt come due time. My alliance as of now is The Original 4 Mata’s and I think all will stay true. I think we all are aiming to getting Ashley on our side. Ashley seems like a doll and I would love to work with her and if we are able to convince any favorite to flip to our side its her. Amanda is another try I can go for while Sam and Tommy I think would be instant targets of ours. I will push Sam to go first just as Tommy may be someone I could use in the future. If we go to tribal I thin my alliance is willing to go to rocks. I am for sure. But right now I need to one keep myself in good graces with the favorites and not only that but my tribe. If the 4 faves vote me on the revote I have to trust my alliance wont flip to me. Also bonding with the faves would keep the vote off me. Now I don’t see the problem of them targeting me because if my alliance stays true i’ll be immuned and then the rest draws. The only person I would consider flipping on from my tribe is Brett but I’m handing away a numbers advantage just yet.
Tumblr media
That moment you want to try and lie to one of the faves in order to vote with you. I mean, I hope I have placed my eggs in the correct basket, otherwise I’m fucked.

I don’t know if i said this already but I FUCKIN MISS STEFFEN! can we pls merge thx
Tumblr media
So for this upcoming immunity challenge we have to lip sync to a song and our tribe iconically choose a song I don’t think anyone would have assumed. We choose Stick to the status quo by High School musical. I think the song is very good, upbeat, energetic and just fun. I know I will do an amazing job as I have a vision in my head of how I want this video to be just dont know how to edit. Yet doesn’t matter everyone else needs to give it there all.

Yooooo, I’m trapped in a co workers car an hour away from civilization and I have to pee really freaking bad, so now seems like a good time to make a confessional XD. So a tribe swap!! Woo! The new tribe has only like 3 fans, and like, I wasn’t planning to stick to the fans anyways, but with a fan minority there is no reason for the favs to try and pull me into their side so I will have to play my cards right. As soo as the swap hit Krysten and Leah all of a sudden are adding me to an alliance chat and acting like the 3 of us have to stick together… Where the hell was that eagerness to get me in while we were on our starting tribe. They’re faaaaaaaake as fuck I tellz ya. With fans like these who needs enemies. Assessment of people. Ting Ting: Trying to talk to ting ting is painful. Like, I’ve heard a bunch of people just love her, but she is so freaking unresponsive… Christian: I absolutely love Christian. If there is one person who I want to work with really badly it’s her. She seems very genuine. Krysten: I don’t mind krysten other than the sudden caring about having me as a vote now that she could be in danger. I got the feeling she was Brett’s number 2 on the starting tribe so she could be dangerous at a merge. Leah: who? We were on a starting tribe but I still feel like I know more about the history of Lithuania than I do about her. (Hint, I know virtually nothing about Lithuanian history) Steffen: I like Steffen obviously, I think everyone does. At first I thought he was someone I really wanted to work with, but after talking to others I’m realizing everyone thinks that, which means he has enough options that he may not pick me. hes the lease of this new tribe for sure. Jay: Jay and I can’t seem to hold a conversation to save our lives. She seems cool enough and we’ve both even made jokes about it, but like, I just wish we were both on at the same time more since my number one goal right now is to impress the favourites. Linus: What an icon, clearly the biggest threat to win :P . Jk, I’m a mess this game haha.
Tumblr media
If we lose this immunity challenge i’m gonna die. I froze my ass off and murdered my phone for this shit!!!! Also OF FUCKING COURSE we get given a music video challenge right after we have a swap and Steffens not on my tribe anymore. He literally always wins music videos so of course i wanna be a bitch and kick his ass at his favorite thing SO I DECIDED TO USE MY ADVANTAGE. I’m such a good friend. lmfaoooo anyways I really hope we win this challenge and if we do I really hope Leah and Steffen make it through tribal alright. I really wanna get to merge so so bad so we need to win this shit.
Tumblr media
why the FUCK did they not include my wig snatching scene?! anyway i knew that was a losing video but like… did adrian throw it? like i can probably get my dog to edit better but hey that’s all fine. we’re just split right down the middle with tribal lines right now and i don’t really know if i’d wanna defect yet or not. who knows.
I want Tommy to like be an evil genius with me but he doesn’t want to! like someone said that they heard his name but he “promised to keep them anonymous” LIKE THAT’S NOT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR WORD ON THAT’S CALLED #DIRT and we can use that to spread paranoia between the fans!!!! god. I guess it’s just not time to be evil yet but I can feel it almost surfacing.
although i am a little happy that the game is getting more #crackedt like we need more paranoia
Tumblr media
Wow what an eventful day. We lost the challenge, which is whatever. The vote is likely going to rocks and nothing has really changed on that front. Tommy is acting incredibly weird about this whole thing though and I’m not really sure how to respond to that. On a major plus side, I found a hidden immunity idol in the cave!! It didn’t come at an opportune moment, I could be knocked out via rocks or by someone flipping in the next tribal. It’s tempting to play the idol to make sure I’m safe, no matter what. On the other hand, if I play the idol and didn’t need to, it’s kind of a waste. I’m so conflicted.
Tumblr media
So much can change when you go for a 7-mile run. A 60-minute workout and a shower later, and it’s time for a tribal swap from 15 players into two tribes. But first, I think it’s funny that the Favorites voted off GASTON and RICHIE as their two first boots. If memory serves, I cited the two of them as my favorite Favorites from the beginning! Apparently they were so charming, they were tossed out as threats immediately! I have to hand it to the Favorites–they’re not too dumb for a collection of students. In the swap, I finally shake LEAH loose, but I also lose dear friend and partner KRYSTEN in the process and friend/pawn LINUS as well. Fortunately, I get to keep my closest ally KEEGAN, loyal soldier ADRIAN, and loose cannon NEHE. From the favorites, we gain Disney freak AMANDA, scavenger champion ASHLEY, and two of their men–SAM and TOMMY. With 4 Favorites and 3 Fans on New Mata, I would be inclined to throw the challenges to keep KRYSTEN and LINUS safe. However, it’s not so easy. New Togye has 4 from each tribe, so there’s no guarantee Old Mata will be the victorious side if we do indeed throw. Say we go 4 vs. 4, tie, and go to rocks. That might not necessarily go in our favor. With that said, I’d much rather go to rocks and gamble for the chance of putting the Fans in the majority instead of being expendable like Fans are in most Fans vs. Favorites seasons. We get the challenge and it’s my personal nightmare–a lip sync off. And what’s more, the majority of my tribe has AWFUL taste in music. At one point, NEHE and allegedly straight TOMMY were hell bent on doing High School Musical’s “Stick to the Status Quo.” IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT A VIABLE CHOICE IN 2016?! I think I had a perfectly sellable idea of doing the Cups song from Pitch Perfect so one person could lip sync the whole thing while everyone else did the cup motion–it would look really cool on camera! But alas, we have an irritant in the form of TOMMY. He is a grown adult in the United States of America with no access to cups. I asked him straight up: “What street corner is the cardboard box in which you live?” This guy is obnoxious. He has terrible taste and is just a turd of a person to talk to 80% of the time. Oh not to mention that he kept saying he should sit out for some moronic reason and then kept trying to lead the tribe. “I think I should sit out. But first, let me dictate what we do for this challenge. But I shouldn’t be involved. No you shouldn’t do this song. You should do one I choose. Well it seems like everyone wants to participate, so I’ll sit out.” Just STOP, dude. You’re embarrassing all of us, yourself especially. NEHE is not helping either. He is so far up TOMMY’s ass and I have no idea why. Part of me wants to possibly acknowledge that NEHE is being smart in befriending TOMMY so that he’s not at the top of the Favorites’ hit list. Part of me thinks he just relates to TOMMY’s idiotic and childish behavior. Since the challenge began, NEHE and TOMMY have been annoying just about everyone while the rest of us have tried to be helpful. They’re both being massive morons and I don’t appreciate it at all. The challenge ruling came down and we didn’t even have to throw it. Our video was so terrible (I truly gave it my best) that the new Mata destroyed us even with the help of a 10-point advantage from AMANDA. I really want to give a reassuring look to KRYSTEN and LINUS. I’m very proud of both of them. But now it’s time to sack up and prepare for war. NEHE is already spinning out. ADRIAN told him he’s their target which I don’t think is even a little bit true, but of course NEHE is eating it up. When you’re 15 and home schooled, your world is VERY small. This is all he thinks about, surely. We discussed as a team and the plan is to attempt to divide the favorites, using ASHLEY to vote against her former tribemates while we take the opportunity to eliminate someone else: 4-3-1. I doubt it will work. I think our best case scenario is to go to rocks and hopefully be on the winning side. I think the worst case scenario is getting idol-ed out of the game because Tommy allegedly has an idol. I’d rather not. I’d rather pick the wrong rock. Hopefully I can trust my side and we pick the right person to vote for. Otherwise we are looking at a loss and to begin being steamrolled by the Favorites. And I refuse to just let that happen. I know what I signed up for. I’m going to do everything in my power to defy that. I’ve talked to AMANDA about the vote and I’ve leveled with her 100%.  She understands the dynamic the most because her last season was Fans vs. Favorites and she was in my shoes! I told her that if she’s working with her former tribemates that I wouldn’t try to dissuade her, but my door is always open if she wants to reject them. I was very open and respectful with her and I’m trying to make this as classy as possible when it comes to her because I feel like she might gravitate toward that attitude. I have definitely come around on her. I said some things about her bio video that I completely take back. She’s a great person with a huge heart. We’ll see how this whole thing shakes out. I don’t trust NEHE. I feel like the Favorites have the upper hand. I really just hope that ADRIAN, KEEGAN, and I are still standing when the dust settles on this vote. That’s all I want.
Tumblr media
anyway I MISS STEFFEN AND JAY AND ALL I HAVE OVER HERE IS A FLASHLIGHT TO KEEP ME COMPANY I only plan on using the flashlight PLATONICALLY, THANK YOU.
Tumblr media
So, after careful consideration of everything, IM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. Unless by some miracle we can convince Amanda or Ashley to flip to the fans, it’s to the rocks we go. I have an idol, I can play it and guarantee I’m staying but that really doesn’t help me if one of the fans goes home anyways. And then we have to consider one of the faves having an idol. This is all one big messy situation that I don’t want to be part of. 
Tumblr media
That challenge was fun!  Just filmed a few minutes on a Saturday afternoon.  So glad we don’t have to go to tribal.  Just have to keep building my connections in case we do have to go soon.
Tumblr media
We lost the immunity challenge. My alliance kinda wanted this to happen so we can go to rocks and get the numbers advantage as also in hopes of flipping into voting with us. After we lost though Brett came up with the plan to get the flipper to vote the wrong way or flush an idol. The person I wanted out was Sam as I had no connection him but news came back to me that it’s Tommy who is targeting for the vote to be me. That kinda surprises me. I had good talks with tommy I truly hope its a bluff. I have to rely on bonds with Ashley and Amanda in hopes that they don’t try and vote me. At this point in time I am a paranoid mess. My alliance is messy and isn’t thinking straight of who we target. Keegan scares me of maybe flipping. I don’t like Brett at this moment because of his personality but he’s the only one i’m 100% will go to rocks. I just have to keep drilling in my head if I go only 6 fans remain and 8 Favorites. With them in minority too. This is the chance to not be in minority. I am not going this round I will not have it. I haven’t gotten to show my full potential yet and I will not let this messed up scum of a person named Tommy fuck this up for me. I will not go home this tribal council that’s for sure. If they do vote me I need my boys to not flip. I truly do. If we go to rocks I am safe. The also best thing about it is if we tie we can easily use that to get Ashley and Amanda. Tell them that our side isn’t flipping so unless they want to go to rocks they need to save me and vote Sam. This can possibly be the first big vote this season. The past votes I was in was blindsides in themselves but it was more so a group leading the tribe. Now the game has officially begun. I won’t be the one to be taken out though. I won’t stand for that. This is my first Tumblr Survivor game. I done nothing like this I will not let it be taken away from me. Sam played before and he made it far before. It’s time for Nehe to shine.

When you try to spice up your game by playing a little villain here and there and you get away with it. People are so fucking gullible, it makes me laugh.

OKAY HERE COMES MY RANT So everyone finally agrees on All I Want for Christmas is You after being pains in the ass and then Adrians like “well the mariah carey one is copyrighted on youtube” or something which is understandable so hes gonna use the Fifth Harmony one. Okay cool whatever. Well maybe im a dumbass for assuming but chances are if you agree to doing a holiday song, YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING FESTIVE. LIKE DRAW A FUCKING CHRISTMAS TREE DO SOMETHING LIKE COME THE FUCK ON PEOPLE. I FROZE MY ASS OFF TO BE BY BALLS THAT LOOKED LIKE ORNAMENTS. MY PHONE LITERALLY SHUT OFF BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD. WHICH ALSO HERE’S A BIG FUCK YOU TO ADRIAN, IM THE ONLY FESTIVE ONE AND IM USED THE LEAST IN THE VIDEO? HOW THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE????? LITERALLY the entire tribe was saying how great my video was and then its used literally once AND ITS THE PART WHERE I MESS UP AND SPECIFICALLY TOLD ADRIAN NOT TO USE THAT PART. Like was Adrian TRYING to make us lose? wtf man. My one shot video of me alone without any editing probably would have gotten a better score than the shit this tribe put together. I even used my advantage and we still fucking lost. Thats how much they suck. Anyways I’m gonna put my video alone linked here because that way people know how much my tribe flopped :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovZLwir-QLw OH also here’s some bloopers, my friend recording it fell lmfao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhflLf8AjLE Anyways now that my rant about the challenge is done, time to rant about tribal. So the most likely scenario is that the vote will be 4-4 because we have four fans and four faves. So we’ve been trying to see if any of the fans will crack. Brett doesnt seem to wanna budge hes just trying to get us to flip to them. Nehe didnt answer my message and i havent gotten to talk to Adrian but I was talking to Keegan and he seems to be crackinng a bit. He mentioned something about wishing there was an easier option than rocks and i was like well there is…. vote with us lmfao well i said it better than that but im summing it up here. He was saying that hes thinking about flipping but hes scared and that he’s worried if he votes with us that we’ll just vote him out next week so i gave him my word that i wouldnt vote him out next week and Ashley was gonna reassure him. I used the fact that the last time i played i was a fan and that i actually understand how scary it is as opposed to tommy/ashley/sam and i think that was a bit of comfort to him. I really hope it works and keegan flips and votes with us. I dont wanna go to fucking rocks. I also hope no one from our side chickens out and votes me out or something. If i went home when i was the only one who gave a fuck about this challenge im gonna be so pissed. Also i miss Gaston and i hate so much that he left last week. And i need merge to happen right now because i hate being on calls with Leah and Steffen and not being able to talk about shit I WANNA TELL THEM SO MUCH AND I CANT ITS KILLING ME

yeah adrian is kinda dumb for trying to tell me he hasn’t heard anything about the vote yet RIGHT AS WE’RE ALL TALKING ABOUT HOW THE VOTE MIGHT GO TO ROCKS IN THE FAVES CHAT honestly just like other people have said things that make me believe you are lying. not only that but he TOLD TOMMY “hey it’s either you or nehe going” BEFORE HE APPROACHED ME like actually please try to do a good job at lying also tommy’s lowkey a puss but I need him for my game until merge

I have like no clue on what the outcome of tonight will bring. I did my best to negotiate myself out of the mess i was in last night. I still could very well be the vote. My alliance decided that the smart choice tonight was to vote Ashley. In hopes if we draw rocks we get her safety and get tommy or sam out. I really hope this doesn’t bite us in the butt. More so me.

So losing the challenge really sucks… But I sat out so hopefully no one sees it as my fault that we lost or anything. Honestly going to tribal is really scary. We are even. And if someone does not flip we will go to rocks and that will not be good for any of us. I am considering flipping and voting alongside Keegan, who I am starting to like a bit. Leegan seems to be willing to flip of necessary. So I am hoping to be able to work that out maybe. An alliance chat of just the faves has been made and even though I like them all, I can’t jist stick to tribal lines like this.
Tumblr media
I have a bad feeling about this. I don’t want to get 15th though, so I’m fighting as hard as I can to stay, there’s just not much I can do with the tribal lines the way they are. This might be my last confessional, I really don’t want my game to end. So this is pretty saddening but I played as well as I could with the dynamic given to me. I really wish the tribal lines weren’t so strong this season and people were more willing to the idea of playing the game of survivor instead of FvF. I’m praying it’s not me tonight, or another one of the favorites.
Tumblr media
Just remembered I haven’t submitted a confession this round, so I figured I’d give my loyal fanbase a little update. The swap seems to be going pretty well so far since we won immunity. This gives me some extra time to bond with the new members, which isn’t a huge priority since the former faves have a majority on our tribe. Regardless, it’s always good to meet everyone and know who’s trustworthy.
