To no ones surprise, Jared didn't vote, didn't attempt to save himself or anything, so he was easy pickings.

There wasn't much to talk about today, but I did get to talk about a few random things with people. I find Ryan & Rebecca hard to talk with, don't have anything in common with them I guess. I did talk to Ryan about the probable future swap to two tribes thing. He came up with this brilliant idea where we work with original Vanderbilt members to take out Carnegie members. Ya know because he knows people on Vanderbilt so we should all trust him with that.

Meanwhile things with the rest of the tribe [Lindsay, Eric & Anthony] seem to be going well. I feel like I have a decent amount in common with both Eric & Anthony so it makes them easy to talk with, even if I'm boring. I would rather not be the one starting 95% of the conversations with them, but it's not terrible. Lindsay and I just talk about Ryan most of the time. I'm trying to get her to flirt with him harder than he is flirting with her, but it's not working. We plan on voting him out if we lose another challenge anyway.

Expecting some sort of puzzle challenge. Could be good for the tribe. I enjoy puzzles, Lindsay enjoys puzzles and Rebecca is old .. so she must enjoy puzzles. So 3 of 6 of us should be able to really help us and that's all without knowing how the rest feel about puzzles. So hopefully we'll be dealing with some sort of puzzle tomorrow night.

This puzzle shit is rough. Lindsay is a fucking pro at them, but a few of the others needed some motivation to get through them. I feel like I basically talked Rebecca into getting a 3 minute score on her puzzle. She came to me after getting a time of like 9:27 or something on puzzle 2 saying she was nervous. She felt like we were going to be losing the challenge (because of her) and that we would all vote her out. I easily calmed her down with some you know Lindsay/Ryan&I have your back talk and let her know that even if we did lose, multiple people would have had to perform poorly. So I'm pumped that she was able to get her score down to 3 minutes or so. Plus if we lose Ryan is the target.

I feel good about my interaction with Rebecca. I still don't really plan on working with her for the long run, still prefer my litter Lindsay/Ant/Eric alliance, but if she ends up on my tribe when there's a switch it'll help.

I also feel like I bonded with Lindsay a bit more today. Nothing really specific, but I had a small problem that I wasn't sure how to handle. She helped me out and blah blah blah.

I feel pretty good about the challenge, might depend on how many tribes will be going to tribal, but we will obviously see.

Of course I have to be on the biggest mess of a tribe ever. Did Anthony REALLY fuck up and post a confessional publicly AFTER someone already did the same earlier in the game? I'm just so angry that I can put myself in a position that I at least think/thought was a good spot only for it to turn to shit because of someone else's mistake.



I don't even know anything that was said because I wasn't home (of course). But Lindsay is catching me up as we speak. Right now I don't even know what I would want to do if we were to lose the next challenge. There's plan A and just stick with Lindsay/Anthony/Eric and vote out Ryan. The problem with this is that if there's a swap EVERYONE knows who I'm aligned with and will most likely think we're tight if we didn't break up after it. This gives them a very fair reason to target me/Lindsay/Eric/Anthony. Easy to get people on board with it etc. But there's also plan B, vote out Anthony. I'd probably have to get Lindsay on board for this one, but it eliminates the chance of being targeted for being in an absolutely obvious alliance. The problem is I don't trust Ryan at all. He mentions friends on other tribes and just has a shady way to him. So as of now I see reasons why both ways are better, but both have flaws as well. If someone is going to make my game more difficult .. it should be me, it would be less frustrating.



In other news, I've spoken with Rebecca a lot more than expected lately. Didn't get to talk with her as much as I would have liked to about the mess of Anthony, but will do so tomorrow. I have some damage control to do for myself for now, but if I can continue building a relationship with Rebecca, that would be great.

Is my tribe really this dumb? I didn't know I should have been babysitting people this game. First we get this whole Anthony mess making things difficult, but now Ryan (and Tyler) were dumb enough to get caught breaking basically the one rule of this game? From my understanding Ryan basically called Lindsay out by literally saying "... at least I have people willing to break the rules for me ..." How stupid can you be

This again makes things a little more difficult for me. I guess it's probably kind of good Ryan is gone and can't hurt my game, but I'm starting to like Rebecca more and more, but if we were to lose it would be hard to convince Lindsay or Eric to save her without looking like a dick and going against that alliance already. Hopefully we'll win this challenge so that I don't have to really make a decision yet.
