Day 0So this is my first confessional. Ever. I guess I just wanna start by saying thank you for casting me and that I am really eager to play a game that actually finishes  . My strategy coming into the game is to try and befriend everybody and let the strategy come to me. Watching the show it seems like the biggest mistake you can make is making yourself a power player right off the bat. I am definitely going to be a sleeper and take the backseat roll until I can figure out what I am dealing with. I will probably start playing the game hardcore once the tribes merge.
I am not going to make a bunch of alliances. I like to think I am a loyal person, but this is survivor, so I will approach alliances with heavy caution.
My first goal is to not be voted off first. If I am booted first from my first Survivor Game... I will end up on an episode of intervention in the future DUE to a spiraling drug addiction. Kidding haha. But that would suck.
It's also going to be unusual to divulge my personal life to people I don't know. I have enough trust issues in my every day life, so this should be interesting.
I noticed that there are four tribes of four on the leaderboard which might be a direct mislead, but if that's the case smaller tribes are scary. Your odds of being voted off are 1 in 4. Hmm. |

Day 1I ended up on the Brosomething tribe. I don’t know how to pronounce it. It sounds French. The funniest part was being dubbed a member the Middle Aged Tribe. What? Hold the phone I am young damnit. Middle Age sounds so permanent, like my balls are hanging past my knees, or as if I have a receding hairline. Age is such an issue for me, I most definitely would rather be on a younger tribe. I will wear the yellow buff with pride but I don’t know about this whole MA thing.
My tribe consists of myself, Adam, Brenda, and Sandra. My initial reaction to Brenda is that she suffers from some kind of minor form of dyslexia. She spells her name Bredna in her aim screen name. Lets not ask her to become a member of Mensa anytime soon. I am no Stephen Hawkings by any means, but I know how to use spell check.Sandra and I had a very brief encounter. All I learned about her was that her name is Gaby, she is from New York City, and that it takes her 45 minutes to respond to messages after I say anything. I also tried messaging Adam, but as soon as I messaged him he turned his online status to away. So lets just say my feelings about my tribe are less then kindred.
I am excited for the first Immunity Challenge on a more positive note and hopefully I get to talk some more with my tribe before I make any more cynical judgments.
Well Well Well, before I could hit add reply Adam popped back to life to tell me he is busy with another game. I’ll let you know if he is as riveting a conversationalist as Sandra tomorrow. |

Day 2I was all pumped and excited for the Immunity Challenge despite my limited tribal interactions, but No, Brooke has to quit for personal reasons. What? Why even join if you are going to quit five minutes into the game. I didn't anticipate that the challenge was going to be canceled because of beloved Brooke. I am bummed I was all for kicking the other tribes asses. Fail. Now we lost one dumb blonde and have garnered a new one Ashley.
Adam seems kind of friendly, but definitely scripted. I keep waiting for someone to just wow me with there conversational skills and thus far, my tribe is on another wave length. I don't think there really care about getting to know me or making any kind of friendship what so ever. So I might have to take a different approach to how I am playing. I don't know how to leave an impression on this team. I will just keep talking and maybe they will feel at least comfortable enough to talk strategy with me.
If the challenge had taken place today only two people from my tribe showed up. Myself and Adam and I honestly would have been dandy with the challenge starting with only two of us there. It's an easy excuse for us to vote together since we actually showed up, but alas, I must wait till tomorrow and with my luck everyone will show up and I won't have a one up on anyone.
Darn you Brooke! |

Day 3I feel like I have been imprisoned and I get congegal visits from my wife (Adam) once a day for about fifteen minutes. My tribe feels isolating and it's probably because NO ONE IS EVER ON AIM! I am getting to the point where I might have to start private messaging people on the board, but what a completely drawn out discussion.
I will keep my head up and pray that we switch pretty soon. Is it sad that I am already praying for a tribe switch? Adam is an OK guy, but he really isn't as social as he claimed to be on the first day. Sandra has been on the board, but has not been on AIM and Brenda hasn't even been on the board in 24 hours so if we lost I would probably want to see her leave.
On a more positive note, NOBODY QUIT TODAY *Fanfares* so the challenge started and it's Island Hoping. If this was really based on jumping, pardon my french, but we would be fucked. I can jump maybe a centimeter off the ground. I am brittle my bones will break. Not really, but they are in my hypochondriac mind. Luckily it's like musical chairs, only posting on a board and I felt so accomplished because I was the first to post. I feel so validated. That is so sad isn't it. Whatever I was first you cant take that away from me.
Hopefully my tribe will teleport back to the same Island I'm on and start doing the challenge, but some how I highly doubt they will. Here's to hoping. |

Day 4First off Happy Thanksgiving to everyone even if you are Canadian. Please explain why you guys celebrate it a month earlier. Were pilgrims led by Celine Dion to Canada? I couldn't resist making a Celine Candian joke. It probably wasn't funny, but whatever. So after I posted my confessional about my less then interesting tribe I finally got to have a real conversation. A REAL ONE. Sandra and I talked and talked while I made crap for my families Thanksgiving festivities last night. She is friendly enough and just based on how she seems comfortable with me I would say she is probably the person I would MOST likely align with on this tribe.
I still want to keep my options open because an alliance is like a marriage and I don't want to settle down quiet yet, but she is my current favorite. Adam hasn't really been around but he has been quick to island hop along with me and Sandra so he can stay quiet as long as his ass makes it to the next island on time.
Brenda is definitely a waste of space. She has been nowhere to be seen since the launch date and she failed to make it to the next island on time. Boo that whore. If we lose I will most definitely be casting a vote for her. I think her picture being all nobbly and not the right shape is an omen from God that she should be voted off.
The challenge was extended which works for me. Only one more person needs to join the next island and we can start the process all over again. I am eager to see if our tribe can pull it off and win, but if not I am fully prepared to trim the fat off this steak.
But yeah, pretty low key day, not much else to report. |

Day 5I was really bummed when I got wacked in the challenge, but I did beat 11 other people so I shouldn't be too disappointed. Adam did the best for the tribe and he definitely stole my thunder. I wanted to be the alpha male but like the rolling stones song goes 'You cant always get what you want'.' Adam made it one round further then I did and then he failed. I figured since 2 out of the last 5 were my tribe that we would we definitely be in the running to at least get second place since The Gurney or Guinea tribe [whatever the hell its called. Can we have phonetically proper pronunciations please for these tribes because I cant say them or type them for the life of me] was clearly the winner since they have the most active tribe.
Before results were posted, I might have kind of accidentally got married. I am in an alliance with Sandra and I am kind of weary of it. She told me she would never vote me off ever because I told her I would refuse to vote her off at this tribal council. I think it's too easy to make an alliance five days in because she really does not know how I operate or will play the game. We haven't lost yet so I really don't know how she will play. So it was really akward because what am I suppose to tell her. That's nice that your never going to vote me off and then change the subject to the weather? I definitely succumbed to peer pressure and now I cant vote her off either because I gave her my word. I definitely wanted to subtle-y gauge what she thought in the event we lost and it kind of backfired and now I am in an alliance that I hope I don't regret making.
Here is the official conversation just for references sake:
I found out moments after this discussion that we did indeed finish in second place so Brenda escaped her fate at tribal council and now she might be replaced with someone else and it kind of has me worried. Brenda was an easy out if we lost and I had my final 2 with Sandra. Now a new addition to this tribe could potentially change the dynamic especially if they get involved with Adam. I honestly would have preferred almost to lose just so that I could prevent a replacement from joining our tribe.
I am definitely a crumudgen when it comes to change. I like feeling safe and comfortable. I wonder how long our teenie weenie tribes are going to last also. It cant last for too much longer or it's going to be tribal massacres. I'm happy though that I met my first goal. I am not only not the first person voted off, I am also not the second. So hooray for me.

Day 6Today was definitely lazy fest 2010. I really have nothing of interest to report at all. Brenda posted on the board which probably saved her from being replaced and yeah I guess I could see how Thanksgiving was why she was MIA, but all she had to do was post that in the camp. It looks like someone is using the Holidays as an excuse. I hate the Holidays can we just skip them or replace them with national worship me days? Lol. I am not that conceited, but really I hate holidays. Like I need to see my family more then once a year. Twice in the span of a month?? Ridiculous.
I talked with Sandra for a little awhile about nothing important and how boring today was. Big snore fest. Like watching snails cross pavement. Brequanda or whatever is just a big tribe of snores. I need to start lighting some fires under these people's butts. Sandra excluded because she actually messages me.
I want to know who is getting wacked from the other tribes. I predict Ami and Sydney will be the two players voted off for being non entities. We shall see.. |
