Merged Tribe
Day 15 The news of this merge could be suicide to my strategy based on who does and does not do this competition. If my old tribe doesn't do the challenge we are totally screwed and I am going to be the one hung out to dry because I actually care about the game. I have noticed that Johnathan has not been on the board and I am really really concerned because he is an intrical part to my eventual strategies.
I am not pleased at all. Elisabeth is toast for sure. If Johnathan goes it's game over for me. I don't see myself being able to weasel my way into the other tribes dynamics. They have already gone to tribal council AND that means alliances had to have been formed on the other side. In a perfect world there was some kind of divide at the vote, but thats probably just me reaching for the stars.
I finished the puzzle at a pretty moderate pace. I probably won't win, but I did OK. I was kind of flustered doing it and was distracted by my roomie talking about Christmas.
Even though I only competed in three immunity challenges before we merged, I am really happy that I was able to have a clean slate. I didn't lose once. . |

Day 16 I wanted to pick some peoples brains about the game and what they were thinking. I spoke with Adam and played kind of dumb and naive. I asked him if he thought things would be split along tribal lines and he basically confirmed my fears and told me that he doesn't think they will because we have not been on tribes long enough, which I thought was a big crock of poop frankly.
I think it translated to No Brandon I am not/ will not be sticking with you guys sorry, Bye, Lol. Thats basically how I took it, but he ends the conversation saying he wanted to stick with me. *Plays stick wit u by the Pussy Cat Dolls*. I don't trust Adam, but I hope he trusts me because if he shows me loyalty he can definitely be my wing man behind my loyalty to Sandra.
Brandon B seemed really cool and it was refreshing to have someone instant message me for a change. I think I would definitely like to make nice with him because he seems to be the spearhead of the other tribe. He is social, he seems active, so he's basically my counterpart to a lesser degree. I tried to talk to Chase and he did not respond, and he just kept signing off and on, so Chase is probably going to be my first target.
Either Chase or Elisabeth. Elisabeth still being here is some kind of bad joke. I thought Johnathan dragged her lifeless corpse into the woods to play doctor... yet she wakes up after a three round nap to do a puzzle. What a whore. Go back to the view.
Sandra even kind of woke out of her coma like state to tell me that we should start voting off all the threats. I was definitely humored. You now have something to say about strategy? I do not want to vote off all the active people because that would honestly make me a big fat hypocrite. I want people who are enjoying the game and that are actually active to stay, so I don't think me and Sandra will be seeing eye to eye. |

Day 17 I had to listen to a bunch of songs on my itunes playlist that had to do with Stars to keep myself focused on posting the pyramid from hell. 'Stars' by the Cranberries. 'Stary-eyed Surprise' by Crazy Town. 'Starstruck' by Lady Gaga. You get the picture. A shooting star was practically shooting out of my ass I can tell you that much. The challenge was so tedious and my plan was to only go for maybe two hours because I didn't want to come off as too much of a threat this early and I ended up blowing it a little after an Hour and 40 minutes. I thought I did well, but not well enough to win.
I didn't really have any chats with anyoen from the game today. I keep trying to message chase and he doesn't say jack shit. Tyson private messages me on the board and he seems polite. I keep trying to figure out why Elisabeth woke up and decided that she wanted to play when she has not signed on aim and hasn't done anything else to try to get herself into the game.
It's kind of obnoxious that she is even getting to be on the jury when she's been an inactive form of the HIV Virus. I think she is going to be the player that I want to target to leave the game at Tribal Council. I am going to channel my inner coach and make the plea that I want the inactive people to die and the strength to make it to the end or I am going to be in very big trouble. |

Day 18 Was winning immunity really worth winning in this big group of people, No I don't think it was. I think I just put a big target on my back because everyone wants the threats out. I really don't like the mentality of these people. They are so focused on who is a threat that no one really cares about your worth and I also think it's going to be rather unfortunate for you guys as hosts because your gonna be sitting with a finale of two players that are barely active.
I am happy I have a win under my belt, I made the jury, but I think my ass is definitely on the way out after this round and I don't know whether or not I should keep trying to win or I should just embrace the inactivity and be horrible like some of these other dipshits.
I just don't know how things are going to work out on this tribe for me. I don't feel like I have any foundation on this tribe what so ever. I have Sandra, a loose connection with Adam and Sydney. I don't feel like I have much say or not as much say as I would like, but we shall see. |

Hey Brandon! Great confessional thus far! I would definitely say that you should try to go full-bore for Immunity as often as you can. After all, there's an old Survivor saying that "The more times you win the necklace, the more likely it is that you needed it." And, come on! Don't think that just because other people are lame and horrible that you should be, too. After all, a win is a win, and if it turns out you won the game because you were the only one who gave a rat, then take the mil and be happy!  So, you think you don't have much say in the tribe. Any ideas for how to fix that? What's your plan going forward? |

Day 19 I basically put a plan into motion to get rid of Chase because I think he is the least social and least active member of the old Venwhatever tribe. I tried messaging him again and his brilliant response was 'good'. He didn't even try to feign a conversation with me so I see no point in humoring his glib ass by keeping him in the game. Yeah it's gonna be good. good to write your name down. So I started talking with Adam, Sandra, and Sydney and they all said they were totally fine casting a vote for Chase.
Sandra decides to come up with this plan to approach Brandon B and Adam with a final four deal and she approached Brandon B and he said he was fine with it as long as he didn't get fourth ... Sandra didn't tell me what she told him in regards to that and it made things kind of akward and made me not trust her. I think II see Sandra in a different light and I don't trust her as much as I did in the more innocent parts of this game. She is crafty and I definitely have to keep a tight leash on her.
Brandon B also disputed the idea of voting off Chase and tried to throw both Erik R and Sydney under the bus and then follows that up with You don't have to worry about me... and it's like dude I really could care less how your voting. You do what you got to do, because in my heart of heart I never thought he would vote for Chase.
I know this is a game and he seems like a sneaky backstabbing type player. You can read it in his answers about he is going to do what he needs to to benefit himself. So I know that he is going to be a big threat and if he decides to make this game ugly by rallying players that don't do anything game wise- well I won't reward him with my jury vote for it. I have no respect for someone that would drag useless piles of human feces to the end. Wow your so cool your sitting next to a lifeless corpse, you really outplayed everyone.
I feel like every day here is a step towards uncertainty and I don't feel as close as I would of hoped I would feel to anyone. I have no strong bonds that are genuine. It's all game and I guess I was expecting something a little bit different.

^ Hey Monica.
I wouldn't really be inactive. I was just going to stop talking to people and try less in challenges and act like a zombie. Basically like Nicole Kidman in the Invasion pretending to be one of the emotionless aliens.
This is my first game so it is definitely discouraging to read that OMG THREATS need to go, especially from people that I can honestly say I dragged here.
