So, this tribe-swap... Usually in Survivor games, I consider a tribe-swap a huge opportunity to form new friendships, alliances, and a way to gain power within the game. However, in this game, I don't see it that way. This tribe is different than most game tribes. It has a clear, direct leader that it's member's fear and listen to. They're so blinded by his power; even if everyone else knows they are at the bottom of the totem pole, they will believe nothing other than what their leader (Adrian) tells them until it is too late (ex; Ian). It's like... Bitch, is you dumb? If Adrian tells them they're his F2, even though everyone else knows that that person is settling for 10th place, that person will remain loyal to Adrian no matter how much talking to you do. I've been in situations like this before, and it is a dangerous thing. So all I could do is pretend to be cool with them, and believe them when they tell me they'll be "loyal" to me, and are "looking out" for me. All I think is... But I gotta play the game, and thus, form some "alliances" and "bonds" with these people, though I know their loyalty will never be with me, and always to their Queen Adrian.

So this round... Golly me oh my, where do I begin with this round!? So let's take it back to the beginning. After the tribe swap occurred, Kim immediately hit it off with Tomas, who was closely aligned with Dave (they're only 'closely aligned' because they want their old tribe to stick together) and so Kim formed the alliance of myself, Dave, Tomas, and herself. So my suspicions were pretty much confirmed when I thought Jose was on the outs with his old tribe. Duh. So us four have a plan to get rid of Sagar this round; make him feel comfortable enough to not want to use his idol and give him the boot. At first I was nervous about their legitimacy and honesty, but my 5th sense tells me they're honest about it. I don't really have a problem with Sagar leaving... like, at all... everyone who can read my confessionals knows I can't stand him. However, I am concerned about the numbers. I'm going to go ahead and assume we're merging with 10 people, which is next round. Now, I'm not too sure who's leaving on the other tribe; I have high hopes for Adrian, but he's a really smart guy with two idols... I can't really count on him being eliminated so soon and so easily, and I don't think I want to count on Quack (or whatever his name is) leaving either, so I don't want two Kwele members leaving and go into merge with a 5 v 5; that's just silly, and mama didn't raise no fool. So, what I did was I actually told Sagar about the alliance and the plan to get him out. He wasn't surprised at all, but whatever. So I told him for two reasons 1) Even though I don't believe in the whole "old tribes gotta stick together!" bullshit, I don't think I can fully trust anyone from the other side until Adrian is gone. Right now, I need numbers I can trust, and though I don't really trust Sagar, I do trust that he's not an idiot and will do what I say while I'm his only lifeline to surviving this round. 2) To get rid of Sagar's idol. Sure, I want him with me for now, but later down the road, come merge, I'm not going to want him around and a man without an idol is an easy target. God knows I can't wait for the day I get to boot Hash and Sagar. So after telling Sagar, the plan was to use his idol and vote out Tomas 4-2 (Kim is SOOOOO hellbent on eliminating Sagar; not even she knows I plan on voting out Tomas. She'll be pissed, but I know what's best for us). Then next round, hopefully Adrian or Quack is already gone and I'll be going into merge with a 7 vs. 3 majority.

Okay, so this would be the first round where I'd admit to fucking up a bit. I totally blame the liquor, but whatever... let me break it down. Last night, I was on Skype drinking some post-Thanksgiving booze, and Dave logged on. For the first time ever (I've never actually cammed with anyone) I went online with him and we started chatting. I didn't see it within his photos, but he is actually really really cute! I was like... His pictures definitely don't do his justice! I mean, it definitely could've been the liquor (there was a LOT of it) so don't quote me if he's kinda hideous, but whatever! He was shirtless, I was shirtless, we both were kinda flirty, so the info just started pouring. I told him I was talking to Sagar and my whole plan to eliminate Tomas, I told him about originally wanting to eliminate him because I felt he was super close with Adrian, and I told him I wanted Kim as my Final 2. I know, you're probably thinking... I know, I know, it was stupid. In the moment he seemed totally cool with it, and was like "Yeah, I want Adrian out, too!" blah blah blah. It was a foolish move; I do like Dave, and it seemed like he was totally understanding and down to work with me, but if I have any 'bad moves' within the game, this would probably be it. I mean, I would like to actually work with him, but instead of feeling 1,000% safe LIKE I SHOULD this round, I don't. Such unnecessary stress I put myself under! Hopefully I can recover from this.

In order to try and fix up the potential huge mess I made by spilling to Dave, I spoke some with Sagar on a new plan. I message Dave first, and he told me that he was definitely not down for the idea I had made with the 4-2 to evict Tomas. I had asked him if he was going to tell Tomas and have him use his idol, or switch up his vote, and he told me he 'wasn't sure' so that worried the shit out of me. It's just stupid, unnecessary worry that I put myself under, especially since Dave was completely shocked when I told him that I had no intention on remaining loyal to the foursome. Stupid stupid stupid. So while speaking with Sagar, we had an idea to do a 4-1-1 vote; 4 for Sagar (Jose, Kim, Dave, and Tomas), and 1 for Jose and 1 for Jose; this plan was only in the case that Dave in fact did tell Tomas that Sagar and I were voting for him, and that should Tomas use his idol, Jose would be the only person with a vote. BUT honestly, I don't think this is the smartest plan possible. If Dave wanted Tomas safe, they would just change their votes to me, rather than unnecessarily using an idol. Anyone would half a brain would figure that much out. So, there's not much to be done right now. I put myself in an unnecessary awful position and my fate rests in the hands of Dave, on whether or not he wants to warn Tomas about the plan to give him the boot. Let it be told that I was still the baddest bitch this season, and if I am to be eliminated, I shall blame it on the liquor and Dave's adorable face. Pray for me, dears.
