Hi guys! I'm Jaclyn Schultz from the most iconic season of Survivor: San Jaclyn Del Schultz and I'm here to #slayfavs and #takenames. Kidding, but hi! I'm actually just some kid (adult tbh) named Isaiah aaand this is always weird because I never really know what to say about myself.

I'm 18, I'm from California, I love cute animals (send me cute pictures of your cats and your dogs if you want because it would be greatly appreciated), I love to bake, and I play a looot of video games.

I've actually... never won one of these before and I've been playing for almost a year now... so I'm gonna try really hard in this one and give it all I've got. I dunno if any of you know me or not but I came really close to winning Good and Evil: Atlantis and I'm really hoping that I have another really strong strategic game in me and I'm praying that if I do, it comes out in this game specifically. I'm so excited to be here to play and I'm really driven when it comes to succeeding here, especially given the recent and very, very, very close failure that I just brought up.

So yeah! That was my introduction-y thingy. I'll have a lot more to say about the game soon but for now I kinda just wanted this thread to be a thing and I wanted you guys to get to know me a little bit before the game begins.

^_^

~Episode 1~

Hi guys! It's time for a ~funfessional~! ^_^

So... first of all... holy... oh my god, like... I got picked for this? WHAT!? That's so, so, so cool. I did not expect to actually be a part of this, so being picked to be in this cast was AMAZING. Like I can't even begin to tell you how many good things I've heard about this series and how much I love the board and how much I wanted to be a part of this and now I am! <3

I don't even know where to begin since so much stuff has been thrown at us this round. I guess I'll start from the very beginning with that sausage throwing challenge. I am... kinda good at endurance? Like, okay. I have a lot of time on my hands. I kinda went 36 hours in endurance for the final immunity challenge in Good and Evil: Atlantis. So yeah, I was kindaaa, sorta, a little happy that was our first challenge? But at the same time, I saw that we were being given advantages AS WELL as being team captains and all I could hear in my head is "target, target, target" and that's not what I wanna be straight off the bat. So, I kinda just went in with the strategy to not really try to win or anything. I wasn't gonna pick up the sausage and throw it at people voluntarily and I only threw the sausage back to people who threw it at me. At one point in the competition I was just kinda like "Okay, it's been 3 hours. You've kinda made a bit of an impression... so you can drop now." so, I dropped. I'm not entirely sure if it was the best decision... but I just didn't want the word advantage glued to my name on top of having the tribe of my choice.

After that, our tribes were picked and I was SO happy to be on a tribe with Caleb and Francesca. They completely KILLED that first challenge. Plus, Caleb and I bonded over music while the challenge was going and I feel like we became sorta good friends. He has great taste. And he's really nice! ^_^

and THEN we got into the first twist of the season! We each got put into a set of ~dragons~ and basically what this means is that we can communicate with 1 person from the other 2 tribes, which is great because cross tribal communication is gone. So, our only source of information from the other tribes is gonna be our little dragon friends. I think this'll impact the game greatly. There's bound to be a swap at some point and I think since each set of dragons will know each other pretty well, they'll wanna work with each other. Plus, as Lóng as all of your dragons are in the game, you have a greater chance of finding the hidden immunity idol. So, it's always nice to have them around. Admittedly, I haven't connected with my dragons that much. I've been so focused on tribal communication that I barely even had time to write this confessional. I'll definitely talk to them soon though because they seem like nice people!

So yeah, tribal communication has been kinda like... the key to my game so far. I've kinda tried to leave a good impression on everyone and I've tried my best to get to know as many people personally as I possibly could and I think I've been doing a pretty good job.

Stacey's pretty fun. I know there's a few uptight people around in the game who don't really like her schtick but I feel like that's kinda lame. She's having fun! Let her enjoy herself. I think she's really clever about her whole thing too. I wouldn't be as witty as her and I definitely wouldn't have been able to pull off staying in character for so long. I actually admire what she's doing, kinda.

Alina's pretty cool. She has this really fun job at the ~Harry Potter Wizarding World~ at Universal Studios that I'm kinda sorta jealous of. We've actually talked a ton and she's someone that really kinda interests me a little bit. She's a bit abrasive though. She told me that when she lost the challenge she threw a tantrum and wanted to kill a dog or something. I was like OOOOKaaaay! :cry:

Natalie and I kinda bonded over our love for Charli XCX. Buy Trophy on iTunes, everyone!!!

Nick has actually talked to me the most out of everyone on the tribe. He likes video games a lot, just like me. He's on the internet SO MUCH MORE THAN HE ACTUALLY SHOULD BE, a lot like me. I dunno, we just click. I'm super interested in working with him moving forward. He left a really good impression on me after our countless talks and I kinda feel like I can trust him.

I already talked about Caleb, he's pretty cool. This is his first ORG in 2 years! :o

Jaison is FUN. We talked about taco delivery dogs (which should be purchasable) and then we watched a couple vines of dogs twerking. It was a ~FUN~ experience overall and I actually really like him. He's not around a whole lot but he's super charismatic. He's just a really nice guy. And he likes cute animal things.

Francesca's a straight shooter and I really appreciate that. She's not afraid to tell you the truth and she doesn't take her time to get her message across. There's little to no small talk with her. What you see is what you get and she'll give you the whole run down of the strategy as soon as you start talking and I like that a lot. Plus, she's a huge challenge beast. I'm really happy to be on a tribe with her. :D

Chiiicken... hmmm. I dunno. I didn't talk to him at all until today and I actually feel really bad about his position. He hasn't been around a whole lot and he's barely talked to anyone because of how busy he is. He seems like a nice guy, though. We talked today and I learned a lot about him. He's in college, finishing his finals, and he's interested in pursuing a ~career~ with radio TV film, which I actually didn't even know was a thing. Ugh, but we just didn't connect like I connected with everyone else. I dunno.

Onto the challenge... ugh. :(

My practice attempts were really sloppy, so I couldn't really gauge how well I'd do in the actual challenge. I knew I could score somewhere around 70 and if I went really fast I could possibly score somewhere in the 80's. So, I went or 80 and that was the worst decision eeever. I was so close. I was about 15(?) seconds off from completing my bid and that was just awfuuul. God, it was NOT my favorite moment. I kinda just have this thing where I don't like to let people down and I felt like I let my tribe down. It was all because I was challenging myself, too. Blah. I felt kinda bad about it for a while just because I really wanted to contribute to the whole winning thing and build morale up for the tribe and stuff. Buuut... sadly, we lost. I wasn't the only one who failed I guess, but it still doesn't feel great to mess up in the very first challenge. It's okay though, if I'm around next round I'll give the challenge all I've got! :)

Speaking of that, the strategy for this round is pretty straightforward.

Francesca kinda clued me in on the fact that the vote is gonna be pretty uncontentious in Chicken's direction. Apparently nobody has really connected with him and they kinda want him to be the first to go. I'm not too upset about this. He didn't talk to me until today, whiiich is kinda weird since we've been on a tribe for a while now. He's been busy though, so I don't blame him. It's just that I also can't really trust him since we haven't really established enough of a connection to really wanna look out for each other.

He's been campaigning today though! He wants Stacey out because of her schtick :erm: and I'm not the biggest fan of that. I kinda really like her, like I said earlier. I feel bad about it but I have kinda been giving Chicken a little hope. I've let him think that I'm interested in voting with him but I'm not too sure if I am. I haven't given him anything concrete, though. I've just been listening to him and nodding my head and agreeing. I feel like it's the least I can do. I would feel awful if people weren't listening to me if I was on the chopping block.

Apparently Natalie leaked everything Chicken said about voting Stacey to her, so I think there might be a bond there. That kinda worries me a little bit so I'm gonna watch out for it. In fact, I kinda wouldn't mind if Natalie was the next to go OR if she left instead of Chicken. He doesn't seem to have anyone right now and she seems to already be making a lot of friends and telling them a bunch of things. I dunno how much I really trust her. But, she's keeping the target off of me by doing what she's doing so that's pretty cool.

I'm just kinda happy that the target isn't completely on me. At least from what I know right now. Things can obviously ~change~ but right now I feel like I could possibly maybe make it through the round in one piece.

Okay, Chicken is targeting Natalie instead of Stacey now.

I think I can work with this, actually.

If he can gather the numbers, I wouldn't mind voting with him.

He's kinda scrambling like crazy though, so I'm not sure if people will take him seriously. Plus, everyone seems to be pretty on board with voting him out.

Also, my idol searching strategy is a pretty straightforward one. Finding this idol is gonna be... completely random. If I actually do find it. So, to really put any thought into it would be kinda silly. So, I just started at square one and I'm moving in this direction, basically.



I'm not sure how helpful the advantage that the team captains got is gonna be but I'm hoping it's not something that I wind up desperately needing.

Anyway, yeah! That's how I plan on searching for this thingy. :P
