DAY NINE
Well you really can't let your guard down in this game! I was wayyy to comfortable back on Gwadalajara. There was a lot of shadiness going on behind my back, and I was completely oblivious to it! Even though I was still ranked well, Ciera was shocked to see that she was ranked second to last on our tribe. The only thing saving her from last probably was my #1 ranking that I gave her. There were some things said at the challenge and now I feel like she broke her ties with the original Gwadalajara.
I think I placed too many of my eggs in Ciera's basket. It was not a long-term plan whatsoever, but it was my plan to get me through that first tribal stage of the game. I think I am going to have to start separating myself from her because I do not want to be guilty by association. I had good relationships with my fellow tribe members on Gwadalajara, and I do not want this whole scene with Ciera to mess that up. I did not even know that a female alliance was even seriously discussed. I thought it was just an option that was tossed around. But I never thought it was solid since I never even talked to Danni or Kathy about it. I don't want to burn all of those bridges, so I am hoping that I'm not going to get turned on too because of being aligned with Ciera.
I definitely have to be more on my toes now with this whole switch. I need to build my relationships and focus on my own game. I can't trust everything that Ciera says, because obviously she can be bamboozled pretty easily. And now that her name is out there because of this whole ordeal, the last thing I need is a target on my own back for things that I wasn't even really heavily involved in.
This round, originally Greg was the target. He is kind of socially inept so it was seen as an easy first boot. Now all of a sudden, Laura is pissed at Nick and wants him gone. He was our original target anyway, but we wanted Laura to feel comfortable. In addition to that, Nick apparently has been trying to place the target on Ciera or me. Yikes!! And he was so nice to me last night and saying how he didn't want either of us to go. Blah blah blah. He's faker than press-on nails, that guy. And he's a huge threat, so the sooner we get him out, the better. Do I think he will be shocked? Probably. Hopefully people are being honest and this all goes through as planned.
