So I wanted to write a little about where my head is currently at in the game. I came into the game a little late on the social boat. I wasn't around much of the first two days and that really hurt my positioning in the current tribe. However, I am pretty good with people and was able to adjust.

There are two things that happened. First, I got extremely lucky. I have been playing ORGs for over 10 years. Not consistently, but I have played my fair share over the years. So I have run across a lot of people over my time. During the first immunity challenge, I noticed how often Kathy used - in her sentence structure to separate her thoughts. This is something that I know my friend Michelle does. So I took the chance and asked her privately if her name was Michelle. She asked why I wanted to know and I told her. It turns out, It is Michelle. Once that trust from our history was established, she immediately spilled the beans on all the strategy that had happened while I was MIA.

Apparently, Ciera is taking the captain role to heart and has taken it upon herself to be the leader. She made an all girl alliance that consists of Ciera, Kelly, Kathy, and Danni.

I have also made a great connection with Danni. I have been able to build a relationship with her in a very short amount of time. I think Danni has a bit of a crush on me. My strategy with Danni is to flirt with her because she responds well to that. That strategy is working. Danni also spilled the beans about the girls alliance to me. She told me that she is willing to switch things up though to ensure that I stick around. Danni also let me know she has a past relationship with Dreamz.

So I'm very aware of the social dynamics of my tribe. It is just a matter of waiting and binding my time to make a move against Ciera. I want her gone. I think she's a threat and personally I find her to be extremely bossy. I don't respond well to that. I want to be the one calling the shots. Not Ciera.

So if we lose, Yau Man is going to be the first to go. He is the weakest on our tribe. He is never around and there isn't anything to do to save him, unless he makes a 1000% more effort in the next couple hours. After that, I am going to make a play to take out Ciera. I think if I don't make a play, Kathy or myself will be in a lot of danger. Kathy is my number one ally followed by Danni so I don't want to lose her.

My plan is to get Danni to get Dreamz on board with it so we can blindside Ciera in a 4-2 vote when it gets down to that. We will see what happens. This game has an interesting dynamic because it's a mix between alias and non alias. There isn't a rule forbidding the sharing of identities so it makes this game really challenging. You have to be really careful because people may have applied together and only they would know because of the identity thing. So you have to tread lightly.

So Ciera really got lucky that we won that challenge. Everyone is getting sick of her "go team go" attitude. She's annoying. She also is taking this leadership role WAY too far. It's vomit inducing. I brought up the idea to Danni to get rid of Ciera this round. Danni was annoyed that she wasn't sat out of the challenge despite just going through surgery the day before. Ciera didn't listen though and did her own thing by sitting out Kelly.

Danni was on board but was concerned that we didn't have the numbers to overthrow Ciera. I told her that as long as she got Dreamz, I would be able to get Kathy. Danni immediately went to Dreamz to see where his head was at and the plan was set. Dreamz was on board and Kathy has had suspicions about Ciera from the beginning.

So had we not won that challenge, the Queen would have had her head chopped off. I was actually disappointed that we won the challenge. I think Ciera is a threat. I think she has a lot of different alliances out there. She's the one who made the girls alliance and she always knows a little too much about the other tribes. I think this is due to her having some kind of alliance with the other Captains, perhaps even other people too.

Unfortunately, I think we might not get a second chance at her for a while. I think with two people leaving this round, it's a good indication that we'll be merging down to two tribes of 9. We'll see. Hopefully these tribes stay together just a little while longer. I want to get my hands dirty!

Can't wait for another update!

Oh stay tuned. I'll have an update tomorrow on this round. SMH. Crazy.
