You hosts are evil. Evil. An endurance type challenge on a Friday night? Seriously? I don't give a shit. I'm drinking anyways. No challenges is gonna stand between me and my beers! - Beer #1! - Beer #2! - Beer #3/4/5 lmao -Beer #6! And it's gotten to the point where I'm sure we lost this challenge already. Good job tribe.  - Beer #7 I like how we are supposed to be at an "advantage" this challenge because we have people in different time zones. THEN WHY THE FUCK AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S BEEN ON THE ENTIRE TIME. - BEER #*8 FUck this shit not going to look like a leader to the other tribe. I'm done. If the rest of my tribe doesn't give a shit, then I'm not going to either. THIS IS WHY DRINKING AND CONFESSIONALING ISN'T A GOOD IDEA. |

Haha I see the emotional side of me was coming out last night in my confessional. Whoops.
It’s frustrating to lose any challenge, but we really should have had a better showing then we did in this one. This challenge was almost tailored to us to succeed seeing we have people in all different time zones, yet when the window of opportunity to catch up occurred… only Tomas was on. WTF PEOPLE. The organization on this tribe is absolutely horrible.
Ian/Jose really didn’t do that much to help (again). Brandon refuses to help (again). And yeah. It’s frustrating. Then on top of that the other tribe was extremely good at posting and extremely good at confusing us on who actually was scoring the points on their team that it was too much for our tribe. Hats off to the other team tho for a well earned win.
So it’s off to another TC we go! I’m hoping this one will be much less stressful for me than the previous one. I feel like I have a much better grasp of the dynamics of the tribe now and should hopefully be able to get everyone on the same page. Unlike the last vote where people voted early / alliances changed / people weren’t on to communicate what they were doing.
The current plan is this:
Brandon – Dave, Ian, Ryan, Jose
Jose – Adrian, Tomas
Adrian - Brandon
I originally wanted to say we should tell Jose we are splitting the votes between Brandon/Ian so he wouldn't feel worried. If anyone came up to me and said hey we are all voting for the person that is going to use their idol and if he does use it don't worry I'll be sacrificing myself essentially, I’d call epic bullshit and use my idol too. Though my name shouldn’t be coming up at TC what so ever… so I don’t care. If both Jose and Brandon don't feel safe and use their idols... it'll be Adrian that goes (assuming Brandon is gunning for Adrian). While that’d be quite sad to see Adrian go so early, again, it won’t be me.
If all goes according to the voting plan there are four scenarios that could occur.
#1 No one uses an Idol - Unlikely to occur
-Brandon leaves, Jose would essentially become the new Brandon. Not great for me.
#2 Brandon uses Idol. Jose does not. - Most likely to occur
-Jose leaves, Brandon uses his idol. Things don't change in the tribe dynamics. Most optimal thing to happen for me.
#3 Brandon does not use Idol. Jose does. - Unlikely to occur
- Brandon goes home and Jose uses his idol. He'll be the new Brandon without an idol. Better than scenario #1.
#4 Both use their idol. - Potentially could occur
- Adrian or whoever they vote for leaves. Shit hits the fan. Horrible situation for the tribe... not end of the world for me personally.

I swear to god I'm dealing with idiots.
So we've got this plan to blindside Jose when Brandon uses his idol. (Sorry Jose! You're honestly a great, great guy and in fact at this point I don't even want you to go right now...). Ryan talks to Jose and confirms Jose is gonna vote for Brandon. I talk to Jose and he says the same thing to me. We both talk about how if Brandon isn't going to help in challenges there's no point in helping him.
So, yay. Everything is fine and dandy and then this...
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? WHO SAYS THAT? WHO GOES TO THE PERSON WITH AN IDOL THAT WE AGREED TO BLINDSIDE AND SAY 'OH SOMEONE BROUGHT YOUR NAME UP'. WHO DOES THAT?!
Like, seriously. Ian is so unreliable in this game. In our group chat today he was like 'I'm calling the shots this round'. Um? Who died and made you king of the tribe? Go ahead and think that, but our tribe can send you packing anytime we want.
Then the plan was also to have Jose think that Brandon wasn't going to use his idol. What is Ian's idea to make sure this happens? Harass Brandon on the forums. Seriously? What. The. Fuck.
I'm not against sending Ian out this round right now. Jose is reliable in the strategic department of not being bat shit loco, and he's very personable and fun. I don't know if I'd be able to change Ryan/Adrian/Tomas' mind tomorrow though. For all I know they already voted again -_-
Oh and I have to somehow tell Brandon via PM that I want to work with him but I have to vote for him this round BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO SHIT. He's using his idol though. And voting Tomas instead of Adrian in hopes of Adrian using his idol. lmao. Yeah, ok, whatever.

Haha. It looks like Ian's big mouth is taking him out of this game. Ian is a loose cannon and can't keep anything a secret. Jose isn't around a lot, but he doesn't run around telling people things that shouldn't be told. This is one of those scenarios where it's the smartest decision to just keep your damn mouth shut. Ian can't do that and if Brandon uses his idol. Ian's toast.
Why are all these votes so fucking bat shit crazy? Lmao. This is so freaking ridiculous when all we had to do was keep our mouths shut and split the vote between Brandon/Jose. Stress free round. But nope. Why on earth would we want to have a stress free round? My tribe is crazy.
So, to try to cover my ass I sent Jose a PM throwing Ian under the bus.
Will it work? I have zero clue. I'd rather not deal with Brandon and an angry Jose next round. I want Jose to be on my side because I really like the guy. I wouldn't hate if he and Brandon both play his idol this round now though.
