Well... it seems like everything is coming together pretty quickly.

Austin, Jonny, and Monica have all approached me asking (more like telling) me to vote for Stephen. I think what's ended up happening is that Stephen has been a little MIA since the first challenge, and everyone else on the tribe is really really active. So there's a really good reason to get rid of him, plus he's outside of the alliance that I'm still not 100% certain actually exists. It's like a postmodern alliance: is it an alliance? Or is it something else? Who knows? Probably only Monica, and that bitch is crazy as hell. I heard about her "famous Monicas throughout history" confessional. Y'all. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing that must have been to read.

Deja Vu

So insightful, I had to say it twice.

Here we go again! Very insightful Katie critiques.


Yve and I are still really tight. She's had some issues recently with connectivity, but as far as I can tell we're still good. She's really fun to talk to, and I feel as though I can trust her. I get a slightly "hero" vibe from her, which is probably just a ruse on her part, but for now I think I can trust her and plan to. I hope that we can continue to be this close throughout, because it's awesome to have a close ally like this.


This bitch is crazy. Like... I'm not sure she should be allowed to use the internet unsupervised. First of all, every conversation with her is a mile a minute, jumping from topic to topic without any segues or anything. Second of all, she's almost like Russell Hantz in HvV in that she's not consistent with who she wants to target. For example, everyone's on board to vote out Stephen this round. However, she's like "omg well he campaigned for himself and i was super impressed so maybe we should keep him idk." Uh. Have we not learned from So? Don't play aggressively too early, and when someone hands you an easy target don't just suggest another one. Whatever, girl.


Well, Austin and I finally had the talk. By which I mean the talk about strategy. Apparently, even though we haven't talked about it at all, he wants to work with me. I expected this conversation to go something like "Hey, let's have a 4 person alliance: me, you, Yve, and Monica." However, Austin made it seem like he wants it to be just me, him, and Monica. No Yve. He basically wants the 3 of us to run the game together. So that was a change of events that I wasn't expecting. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out moving forward.


So Fairplay has managed to save himself by being the way less weird person outside of the alliance. He's also been really helpful in challenges, etc., so I think it'd make the tribe weaker to lose him. However, moving forward he's in a bit of a rough situation in that if we lose again he's definitely going home.


Stephen's going. Monica feels bad about it, but he's out. He's rarely ever online, is kind of mean and standoffish in chats... yeah, he's out. I mean, everyone else on the tribe is on board so I think it'll even be unanimous. Also, he hasn't talked to me at all, not even to try and scramble. It's like, am I invisible dude? Don't you think that talking to everyone on the tribe might be important to do if you want to stay around? Ugh.

Just as soon as I say that, everything changes.

So Monica, Austin, Yve, and I are all in a group chat together. And apparently Monica and Yve want to keep Stephen, which I don't really understand. He's recently come online, and it looks like he's going to be online a lot more moving forward. And he has definitely been campaigning really hard with me and everyone else most of the day today.

So I think Fairplay is out. I don't care who goes, as long as my core 4 sticks together, and it looks like that's happening. Oh, Marehemu. Already full of struggles.
