Gonna create a chart and start sending out PM reminders of who you're watching either late tonight or tomorrow morning. You have until the end of the next immunity challenge to get them in, so a while, but don't procrastinate! Just post them below in this thread, they don't have to be in-depth at ALL, just Shórt little updates on the general direction that their games are going. Once everybody posts their watchdog posts, I'll gather them up and make a separate thread with a nice, easy-to-read formatted post of quick updates on each contestant. I think as the game goes on, it'll be super useful to be able to look back and track what each contestant is doing each round. If you have any questions just PM me or post them below, and if not, feel free to start posting your watchdog posts at any time as I send out those PM's soon!

(Also Lue, since you have an eliminated contestant, you can choose whether to post anything about Chicken's confessional or not. It won't matter too much in the future rounds of this game to look back at what he was thinking as the first round boot, but it could be fun post-game for people to read back. Totally your call)

-Surprised by the amount of people she can consider her #1
-Prior to tribes Hope mainly took a liking to Joe, Woo, Jenna, Rita, and Hunter
-Hunter is Hope's number one ally and she feels like she shares everything with him
-Was unhappy to end up on a tribe with four people she had not met off the bat (Trish/Melinda/Lil/Rachel) but was very happy to end up with Hunter and Woo
-Had her reservations about Ozzy but is coming around on him. Her ideal initial alliance was with all of the guys on the tribe
-Woo scared her a bit with a joking comment about coming after her
-Working on her relationships with the girls. She is finding it tough but managed to crack through the barrier with Lillian
-States everyone on the tribe is unhappy with Trish
-She feels like Ozzy is trying to get an alliance going with Her/JP/Hunter/Woo (Again Hope's ideal original 5)
-Loves Jaison (One of her mates in the twist trio)



(Barely any insight from Wes)
-Does not like being on a red colored tribe with a purple board
-Mentioned the twist ruined his future plans and that he has "something" he will release later (Probably just a remark to make him look more diabolical and strategic)


amidoingthisright

Look at Hope kicking us off

^ Yes, perfect, thanks so much Syd! And if one of your people really didn't confess anything of value, like Wes, then doing a really Shórt writeup is totally fine. The whole point of a watchdog thread is to help condense strategy so nobody has to wade through unnecessary stuff. And your writeup for Hope, who was a lot more involved, is perfect. All the amount of information that could be considered useful to know going into future rounds, but all summarized in one neat little easy-to-read package

Yeah I wasn't sure what to do when it came to Hope giving a cast assessment. It felt pointless to write her first impressions about everyone from before tribes when that can change easily later on. So I just noted the key alliance to Hunter

Before I forget...


-Worried he looks like a challenge threat after doing so well in the challenge compared to his tribe mates
-Wants to make it clear him/Francesca do not have a thing despite her picking him first in the pick 'em
-Likes Alina (despite her rep), Jaclyn (despite her youth) and Nick (despite how much he talks). Finds Stacey tiresome.
-After losing, immediately wanted Chicken out because of a lack of connection with him
-Found Chicken's campaigning both sad and ineffective
-Voted for Chicken

*cracks open old CliffNotes of Huck Finn*


-Felt she had "haters" because she has been negged already
-Pre-tribes she enjoyed speaking with Neal, Kenny, and Liz, but was annoyed Liz didn't pick her
-Really enjoys Rita and is glad they are dragon partners ("Yahtzee groupamajig")
-Seems to have good things to say about pretty much all her tribe mates
-Heard Chicken's name thrown around the most as a vote option
-Asked Francesca for an alliance, and wants to pull Jaison in for a "brothers and sisters" alliance. It's unofficial.
-Confronted Chicken about why he was throwing out her name, and told him that it was Natalie who threw out Chicken's name to her
-Voted for Chicken

Gonna be really into Austin tracking Stacey.

Gonna be really into Austin tracking Stacey.

This really feels like a My Fair Lady situation tbh...and I'm the creepy old man.

You didn't have to explain to me that you are the creepy old man in this, or any, situation. :-) :-p

Most of these were easy to type up, the only one on my list who confesses a SHITTON is Joe. Holy shit, I felt the need to put a fucking summary at the end of his.



- Didn't want to be tribe captain but didn't want to be seen as weak either, went for three hours in the captains challenge before dropping.


- Thrilled to be on a tribe with Caleb/Francesca/Jaison/Stacey, really bonded a lot with Nick. Did poorly in the challenge but was clued in by Francesca that the vote was for Chicken. Gave Chicken false hope that she might vote for Stacey, until Natalie told Stacey everything. This made Jaclyn mad at Natalie and worried about a Natalie/Stacey alliance, expressed a desire in voting out Natalie either this round or next round. Voted correctly for Chicken to go



- Has an alliance with Ozzy and said that Hope hinted she wanted to align with him. Says that his dream alliance would be Him/Ozzy/Hope/Woo/Rachel/Melinda and he thinks it's leaning towards that, with Trish as the first boot because he likes her the least.

- Already calling Ozzy "clingy" and an "emotional timebomb". Says that Lil is going down on the likeability list but that Trish isn't around at all, and in general his tribe is MIA. Wondering when is the right time to make a six person alliance.



- Will use ice cream puns as a legitimate social strategy

- Vibing well with Joe/Liz/Jenna on his tribe. Not very many people reached out to him pregame



- Did not intentionally lose the captains challenge but did not want to win either. Got aLóng well with Woo because he told her he wanted to pick her.

- Thought she did good in the challenge, uses a letter format for her confessionals, nothing else of strategic substance, just jokes.



-Noted positive pregame conversations with Alina/Jenna/Hope/Kenny/Liz/Hunter/Jaison.

-Got added into a chat with Kenny/Liz during the captains challenge and they worked together to take out Lil and then Jeremiah, giving Liz captainship.

-Immediately struggled with the concept of throwing any kind of challenge, even though he didn't want to be captain, didn't want to separated from Liz/Kenny. Ended up slipping up anyway and getting eliminated.

- Thrilled to be on a tribe with Liz/Kenny, bonded close with Jeremiah for being in the same captains challenge group, considered Jeremiah their #4 and heard that Jenna and Rita both liked him. Bonded with Neal over Ice Cream and Child Predators, said Wes sucked at conversations and Will was at the bottom.

- Super happy to be able to still talk to Hunter due to the twist, decided to take a main role in helping organize the challenge through a spreadsheet and give advice on how to do it, to prove his challenge ability which is something he prides himself on.

- Cited Will as the easy first boot on Anaira due to Will's issues getting on AIM the entire time, celebrated his tribe's victory, and made a note that Melinda was posting up to fifteen times a minute and that she would be a challenge threat in the future.

Summary: Prides himself on his challenge ability, in an alliance with Kenny/Liz, see's Jeremiah as an easy 4th, get's aLóng with Neal/Jenna/Rita on his tribe, see's Will as the easy first boot.

- I'm currently helping Trish move into a new apartment! It's exciting!

- It's small but it's in the middle of downtown Chicago which is really neat.

- She made me carry a ton of boxes and suitcases up to her room because I have her fooled into thinking I'm strong. (I'm not.)

- On the last trip from the car to the apartment, I discovered a luggage trolley in the building's lobby that would have made the process 10x easier but I'm an idiot.

- Trish accidentally broke a bookcase while she was trying to assemble it, but we can probably fix it.

- Trish also is in the middle of painting the coffee table that will go in the middle of her living room, but she has to redo the primer coat.

- We just got back from breakfast. Trish had pancakes.

- What the fuck is Sausage Island?

Trish had pancakes.

Most important update.

24 hours to get those submissions in! I'd like it by the end of the challenge results tomorrow, that way I'm not TOO far behind when I post the round 1 summary of where everybody stands in the game. After the rounds go on I can edit in Jonas' edgic suggestions for each round, as well as Sydney's popularity poll results and put where they ranked on that particular round. I'll divide them based off of tribe's, and once we get all of it in one-place I can write a sentence Lóng summary for the general vibe of each tribe based off of the watchdog reports. Kind of like a one-stop go-to information download for those who can't keep up with massive amounts of PW Lounge pages every day.

Thank you so much to everybody who has submitted already, we got 15/27 of the castaways done, I sent out PM's to everybody remaining who signed up to do a watchdog report, if you don't think you can make the deadline just send me a message and I'll reassign :)

i will do this soon
