For Bonus Polinweek Day 5 | Favourite hand scene + Nicola appreciation Day | The Marie Claire AU shoot (sorry if the edit is not good and it has no music. Just think of this as a photo carousel)

I start this appreciation post for this goddess by saying that I hope that every person who deemed it right to ignore her in her 20's are eating glass right now for not giving her the opportunity to shine back then. I could have had Nicola a long long time ago but these clowns kept her from me.

I never expected myself to be this addicted to Polin but I got to say that it really all started with Nicola. S2 brought my attention to Pen because she was sooo messy in that season but I loved how Nicola played that dichotomy. And I really really wanted to know what Pen said to Colin after that awful line.

This led me to the book, to the countless fanfics, to falling in love with the characters, to admiring the actors. I was so excited for Polin season but I did not realise the intense chemistry Nic and Luke had until the press tour started in my backyard, Bowral, Australia. I always thought that they looked great together but that day, when I saw the photos and the clip where Luke showed his tank top to Nicola changed me and I haven't had a proper sleep since.

But this is an appreciation for Nicola so I'll keep my mouth shut about Lukola/Polin 😂

There are only a few actresses that I am dedicated to (meaning, I have seen and supported most of their work). I tend to be picky with the actors I support and I focus on the ones who can successfully disappear in their roles making the character iconic instead of the other way around (think of the reason why some actors become typecasted). I see this so clearly in Nicola and it's why I have rewatched most of her work (honestly, how iconic can you get when most of your work are easily re-watchable?). I see the character and the work that Nicola has put into it. She makes character journals for all the roles that she plays and if that is not dedication, I don't know what else to call it.

For the first time in my life, I bought a fashion magazine so I can have these deliciously gorgeous photos of Nicola. I like fashion in a way that I like looking at aesthetically beautiful things but I would not spend any money on that. But, I bought the Marie Claire AU because I loved this cover shoot. I especially love what Nicola says in the interview: "It is important for people to know I wasn't an overnight success."

She is soul-stirringly beautiful to me. I legitimately always have goosebumps whenever I see a photo of her. I've posted it here before that I genuinely question my sexuality whenever I look at an image or video of her.

Am I just projecting my desire to get over my insecurity over my body on her? Definitely. I cannot even begin to describe the confidence that I feel about myself now because of the mirror scene. I know Nicola doesn't explicitly accept her being a representation of full bodied women but it is her portrayal of Pen in S3 that I finally understood what media representation meant for the first time in my life.

Have I rambled on too much? I will for this woman because there are endless things that I love about her.

I hope she's happy. I hope she is able to rest. And I hope that even more of her dreams come true 🥰

[herejusttosufferalong]

I know you don't like people responding to comments in anon, but I'm doing it anyway (I'm the original posting anon but don't want to get in a back and forth with this person, but just clarify my ask)... sooo post if you like!

Re the comment: "From everything I can see this relationship makes her super happy and productive. She looks really good, she’s at the top of her game, and she’s with a very handsome guy that seems to share a lot of her interests. What’s not to like?"

If you read the original ask, it's not saying there's anything not to like about a relationship between N and JD. It could be a great relationship and she's super happy! The question was more about what is leading people to "ship" it, meaning like creating fan pages, stalking his friend's instagrams, etc. etc.

If you think N is thriving in the relationship with JD, isn't it enough to just support her as your fav vs. getting super involved and invested in it?

Good question, but honestly you are only considering casuals.

The die hards will always be HEAVILY invested, even if it was Nic and Luke who were together.

The end will never be a confirmation of a relationship, or even that a respective party is content.

The goalpost will always move.

[nic-coughlan]

I get Nic probably wants to put out the dumpster fire even just a little bit with her IG story and post. Now would have been a great time for Luke to step up too and return the same energy to Nic but no the best he could do is like her post?? That’s literally the bare minimum. Not surprised but disappointed all the same. 😒

It’s not enough that he reach out ~privately too cus this whole mess which I’m guessing was started by his hard launch through deuxmoi no less has been sooo public

ASDSFFF they've clearly had a conversation going off their IG posts of that photoshoot and promoting it hard as possible. they're not stupid, luke knows that he's been exposed and people are not happy it happened so quickly. it's a dumpster fire and poor nic has been landed with "sorry guys he messed up but i love him" campaign.

Episode 7: I feel personally victimized - Luke

why are they abaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

also steffen or drew will win this season bookmark this.

I can't Beloeve

So glad to be back in the game! The amount of shock in the chat was awesome! Hahah I'm just glad I didn't get eliminated without receiving a single vote. Although I know I'll get one now!

First of all I feel personally victimized by the hosts for allowing people to come back. Next I feel personally victimized because Darian came back and he has reason to target me!!! Going forward I'm trusting Drew the most because I love him so much :) Ashley, Steffen and Jordan are also strong allies of mine. I want to target Darian next and then I want either Brian, Lily or Andrew out. Jordan should leave fairly soon too because he's a big threat and that means betraying him but I need to do what I need to do to win.

So I got some kick ass items at auction today. I got a Wildfire, which can reset a round and make all of our challenge results null so we have to do them over. I also got a ride on a dragon thanks to Steffen, even though we don't know about it yet. He got to choose two others to take with him and chose Drew and I, which I really awesome because I am starting to like Steffen a lot. Hopefully we can get closer in the upcoming days. I also got a turkey leg, which gives me an advantage in a challenge up to final five, so that is pretty chill too.

Darian and Lily coming back????? UGLY!!!! KEEP THEM!!!!!!!! But also like I'm rebelling more against the fact of HAVING two people come back than the reality of who they are. If two people were going to come back, they’re DECENT choices because at least they both like me? But they come with their own vendettas against other people I like and it’s a PROBLEMMMMMMM. Darian coming back means the tension between him and Luke is gonna come to a head sooner rather than later. And Lily wants to take out both Andrew and Steffen QUICK because of reasons. Meanwhile WHAT EXACTLY HAS MY ASS BEEN DOING???? Aligning with almost every damn person in the game! Jordan specifically said “i feel like were aligned with too many people at this point. Like we need to actually get on a side” and my internal monologue is laughing because I think I’m connected to even more than he is because I’m with Steffen too???? 

1. Me Ashley Jordan Darian  2. Me Ashley Luke Steffen 3. Me Ashley Andrew  4. Me Ashley Andrew Luke Jordan 5. Me Jordan Lily 

I’m about one second away from starting one with Brian and Nic just for shits. And THEY’RE ALL FUCKING TARGETING EACH OTHER!!!! Luke and Steffen bonded on call over wanting Darian gone and have brought up Jordan’s name, Jordan and Lily want Steffen gone, Lily is PUSHING for Andrew to go and Jordan and I can only keep her at bay for so long, and LITERALLY NO ONE IS BRINGING UP BRIAN AND NIC TO GO like I’m about to upset a whole group of people really quickly. I think my best course of action right now, if Ashley would be open to it, would be to blindside Darian right the fuck back out. I need to convince Jordan that our five-person alliance (listed above as #4) is the most important thing in the world right now because it’s numbers after this vote. It’s also another alliance that I have with both Ashley and Jordan so if they’re on board for the Darian blindside, then we can do it without pissing anyone off. Except Darian but I mean whatever, it’s not like I have to see him at high school the next day (sorry Ashley!!!). And it keeps Luke happy, and I’m all about keeping Luke happy. And it might convince Brian and Nic that we’d go for Lily next and just cleanse the field, and honestly that’d be nice too. 

This is my dream boot list, at least for now (subject to like 18,000 revisions so like take it with the entire container of salt that for some reason is a current Snapchat filter with the Morton’s wig and umbrella) 

10th place: Darian, with the consent of Ashley and Jordan  9th place: Brian because whew comp strength  8th place: Steffen because I don’t know that I can hold Jordan and Lily off any longer on that one 7th place: Nic, to, in the words of Lord Voldemort, kill the spare 6th place: Andrew because he might not see it coming at that time? The kid has been to the Citadel so fucking much, I can’t 5th place and beyond I don’t fucking know yet??? That’s a really tough position to be in because everyone in that final five would potentially want to work to the end with me but they’re all also threats to win. Ashley has been a main co-conspirator since the very beginning for me, but walks in with at least Darian’s vote almost pre-destined. Jordan and I work well together and his reputation often works against him, but I honestly think this isn’t the jury that would hold that against him like Costa Rica did, and he would have Ben’s vote almost pre-destined. Lily’s story could go either way, in that she’d been voted out twice, she doesn’t deserve to win, or that she’s fought back in twice and made it to the end. Especially if people like Steffen and Jordan are on jury, that’s going to really resonate with them as people who have won buybacks and almost won with them before. Luke probably has the least amount of connections from that potential jury pool, but has a great story of being the only foreigner and needing to adapt to our schedules, staying up until 4-5am every night to participate with us when we’re at our most available. Steffen would really respond to that, having played seasons from Norway and understanding the struggle. Honestly I could end up with the worst case to present in any configuration of that five, but I’ll worry about that as we get closer because I think that’s the configuration that best LEADS to me getting to finals. I can argue my way through a lot of things, and if I lose, I lose, I’d be happy losing to any of them. This might be the strongest social game I’ve ever had?? Or I could be wildly delusional and other people have just as many chats with just as many leads and I don’t factor into anyone’s final plans. We’ll see, I guess

Pray for me, it’s gonna be a fucking bumpy ride. 

So Steffen, Drew and I's dragon ride ended with me getting a vote revealer, Drew getting an advantage in a challenge of his choosing, and Steffen got a vote stealer. We all agreed to it and are now in a semi alliance. So this should be interesting.

So I won immunity yay :) Sam got mad at me cause she spent a long time making that challenge and I beat it in 8 minutes so i felt bad and decided to make an actual confessional. Shocking right? Anyways even if I didnt have immunity I think Im in a good spot? like okay, so i have a lot of alliances. I have one with Andrew Drew Luke and Ashley, one with Drew Ashley and Darien, One with Lily and Drew and then i sort of have an alliance with Nic. Meaning I am not aligned with Steffen, meaning ideally Steffen goes. lily told me she has the power to take away someones immunity so thats good that thats on my side. Either way, things are good for Jordan. First confessional done, dont expect another

me to jordan yesterday: lets vote out steffen lily to me today: i was thinking steffen for next tribal 

ok sooo i do think steffen is a big threat and could win but i feel bad about voting him out cause im not invested in this game and idk if he is but he could win so i feel guilty if i vote him out and stay over him r . i. o. p. in peace

well well wel......... this is perfect. darian came to me wanting to blindside a threat so i said drew and now he's doing all the work to get drew sent home :o i spoke to steffen abotu it and hes good and darians gonna try to get andrew/brian/ashley so hopefully that works. 

i have a really good feeling where this is the episode where my edit goes from INV to MOR3

HONESTLYYYYYYYYYYY disregard the boot list, scrap it, move on from it, delete the confessional, it NEVER. HAPPENED.

Lily has gone to Drew, Jordan, Darian and Ashley to try and get me out. Ashley and Darian came clean to me about it and now we’re sorting stuff out now.  darian thing lets him see a random alliance chat don’t like it. Lily is after me, then Brian, then Andrew. Drew has an idol from the citadel so now we’re strategizing. trying to spill that Luke wanted Brian gone. Lily has Drew and Jordan but only Jordan. Nic has to vote Drew. Drew might have to self vote Brian has to vote lily Andrew will vote lily Darian votes Drew Steffen votes lily Ashley votes lily Lily votes SteffenJordan votes Steffen Luke votes TBA 

so Luke came to me with Jordan tea about how now Jordan is voting me out well good job Lily I officially say you can choke now [17:46:00] Luke: So do we know what's happening yet? 

[17:46:08] Jordan (Westeros): no one is talking [17:46:19] Jordan (Westeros): if i didn’t have immunity id be freaking out [17:47:15] Luke: That's why I'm freaking out!! [17:47:23] Jordan (Westeros): i want to target steffen tbh [17:49:39] Luke: Oh wow really? You think that could work? [17:49:49] Jordan (Westeros): i think we could potentially get the voes [17:49:51] Jordan (Westeros): votes 

So screw you Lily, and Jordan next time you go behind my back, be a little more creative you little toad and as soon as Jordan tried to get me to vote out Andrew IM LIKE SURE but then sent those receipts to andrew also I might now have Luke voting out Lily 

[11/30/16, 6:42:48 PM] Brian: [2016-11-30, 11:38:39 AM] Brian: have you heard anything about the vote today? [2016-11-30, 12:19:23 PM] Lily Owen: Yeah, people are planning on Steffen [11/30/16, 6:42:59 PM] Steffen Bøhn: oh yeah [11/30/16, 6:42:59 PM] Brian: [2016-11-30, 6:42:13 PM] Brian: so idk [2016-11-30, 6:42:13 PM] Jordan Pines: no one has said it to me [2016-11-30, 6:42:17 PM] Jordan Pines: ive heard steffen so far [2016-11-30, 6:42:22 PM] Jordan Pines: and i think thats where I’m leaning

I GOT BRIAN SENDING ME SHIT NOW AW HELL YAS 

So I am terrified for this upcoming tribal. Some shit is going to go down. After the auction there are so many items in this game that I can't even keep my head straight.

So Darian got approached by Lily, who said she wanted to get Steffen out. She had this whole hit list and whatnot, and stupidly told Darian a lot of crap. So basically he comes to me and tells me everything. So now we are working with Steffen to try and find a solution... Hopefully all of this stuff is true, because if not, who the hell knows who is leaving tonight.

Ep: 1- “I don’t trust my own partner.” ~ Karen

OKAY FIRST CONFESSIONAL IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE POST SAYING WE BONDED U GUYS BEING SARCASTIC ALREADY HAHAHAHAHAHA no but fr i love karen but HaHAHA what a twist bc opposite sides last go around

Can't believe I woke up in head. Head same my autocorrect is a Christian  Hell*

d736163d DO WE HAVE TRIBES WHAT IS THIS

I'm shook that Julia is my partner I'm just blesst that it wasn't Kevin sjdbsjsvwjen whew!!! I think I can work well with Julia

FIRST GAME MOVE WAS SPENDING HALF AN HOUR ADDING EVERYONES DUO TO THEIR SKYPE NAME

AHHHH! it's such an interesting idea and bvw is so cool. i love being able to play with someone i know. these people seem really cool. hopefully i'm not first boot.

what what what up guys I'm back at it again with the white mans!!! me and my loved one are totally gonna rock this game(hopefully). he lives like 50 bajillion miles away so its gonna be hard communicating because of this little thing called "time zones" like who even invented those??? probably the Portuguese(s/o to mom). anyway I'm excited to play but I only wish it was Duncan..... how dare you for hosting!!!

I literally can't. These puzzles are so fucking hard like they are actually spawns of satan. SATANIC!!! I really wish i could talk to the other people more ...

Tag Yourself I'm Ricky not talking to anybody and putting me at risk of being a first boot even though I'm being social af

Whew so I feel like this tribal isn’t gonna end well. me and sydney have both been really busy so I don’t know how social we’ve been. Im hoping the people we have talked to will keep us safe but I have no idea what will happen.

abbey is my fave host

There isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for this women.  I would even take off my clothes and give her a private show to the tunes of her soul because she's all that I need and more.  I would give birth to 10 of her children without using any drugs to help ease the pain and then I would give her one more just because our love is that insane.  There is not one thing that I would not do for my lover, my best friend, my honey, my Boo.  I can’t wait to meet her.

no one is PLAYING!!! NO ONE!!! It's annoying. Currently I'm just trying to pull together a five but that's providing to be difficult

So exactly what I thought was going to happen :D Happened Nicolas is targeting me for personal reasons and I can't do anything without this community literally shitting on my whole being I JUST SIGNED UP TO HAVE FUN

so much confusion

Cant wait to leave the game tonight!

When Karemom comes in clutch and makes an alliance chat to gather votes to help you stay? What a mommy. She's so nice I almost feel bad I had to tell Connor about her putting his name out to get the ball moving on him spilling tea that Julia was trying to turn the tables against me. But it worked out well. I'll write this in a more organized confessional in a bit

Um so this vote is messy as hell. I think the final decision is that Nic/Sydney will be getting voted out tonight but this is Survivor and anything could happen. I pray that Ricky and I survive this week

So, first things first Zack keeps saying he is writing cute things about me in his confessional so maybe I should do the same.....but I want to talk about my gameplay I don't want to talk about him so tough luck for him whoops. So coming into this game I have a sneaking suspicion that some people did not like me, but did I really think Julia and Nicolas could try to turn the tables on me that quick? No. I did not. But, it's alright. I had a few tricks up my sleeve to help me stay, or so I hope. I told Connor about Karen throwing his name out and he told me about Julia and Nicolas (I'm not even gonna bad mouth Sydney ever she is too sweet) throwing out mine. So, I went to Karen and told her what her partner was doing and we devised a plan to get Nic and Syd out while I solidified my alliance with Luke

I feel safe tonight, but I really have Mitch to thank for that. I feel like he will be a powerhouse in challenges. If I know anything about him, it's that if he can win, he will, and he usually can. So while I feel safe from the vote tonight I know that won't last forever. Unfortunately I've being hearing rumors that Nicholas and Sydney are getting voted off tonight OF COURSE because Nicholas and I seemed to be getting along. After tribal I really have to start thinking about my social game, because so far it's off to a slow start. But having immunity this round gives me more time, at least I hope anyway.

[4:57:37 PM] Karen :~): Kill me btw [4:57:43 PM] Karen :~): I'm literally [4:57:47 PM] Karen :~): This is so messy [4:57:55 PM] Karen :~): I don't trust my own partner [4:57:59 PM] Karen :~): Can y'all believe [4:58:56 PM] Camilla: i can because y'all didn't choose each other [4:59:00 PM] Camilla: hehe [4:59:13 PM] Camilla: what's going on, Karen? [4:59:17 PM] Camilla: i literally have no idea [4:59:36 PM] Karen :~): So at first I said that I'd wouldn't mind voting out Connor [4:59:58 PM] Karen :~): And someone's snake ass told him so he was ready to snatch me this morning [5:00:09 PM] Karen :~): And apparently I'm the one who suggested nic so [5:00:15 PM] Karen :~): Nic is coming for me [5:00:41 PM] Karen :~): And of course I'm suddenly a leader bc no one wants to take that role [5:04:02 PM] Camilla: i'm very sorry [5:04:07 PM] Camilla: people suck [5:04:25 PM] Karen :~): Tea

First off Karen like wtf? Does she want to be an early boot? Like everyone just listens to her and whatever she says goes. I'm targeting her without a doubt Connor is blowing up his own game and the game has hardly started

Hey y’alllll, so i’ve been super busy this weekend, but I’m so happy I got cast, I look forward to getting to know everyone, but I also know that I am socially pretty set in this game. I know a lot of people here so that’s super lit. Pat, Luke, and my mother Karen are here, so this is just great so far. And me and Danny shouldn’t be going!!!!

sooo I haven't been able to be on because I kinda was camping in the middle of nowhere this weekend!! But there are some friendly faces and people that dan know so I'm not too worried about elimination and I think me and dan can have some good alliances! I'm hopeful for this game and the weeks to come!! Kisses!!!

Hey everyone how's it going I'm back with my friend Kyla and we won immunity and I just got Pokémon Sun and Moon so I'm making a very short confessional because this game is my life rn. Today's candle is Vanilla Cardamom.

So everything is going well! Talking to a lot of people and getting to know everyone. I like Ting Ting and Seamus, they seem cool so far. They are already friends with Connor so that basically made that go off to a good start. I think for right now I am just going to ride it out and see how far I can float until I really have to get my hands dirty.
