Episode #5 - The Best Of Both Worlds

[Jay Byars]

Being cut off for 24 hours sucked. But i'm back and this switch I think has honestly worked out pretty well for lil 'ole me. I'm with Ted, Ace, Wanda, Semhar & Kim, all people who i've been speaking too since the game started and I think i'm in a pretty good social spot with all of them so I felt safe. But then I didn't even attempt the challenge and I didn't feel safe, but I had my connections so I did feel safe. I'm now confusing myself.

Ignore that it made no sense. Long story short Ted send me a PM regarding my exact thoughts of this tribe, an alliance of Ted, Ace, Wanda and myself. Wham bam thankyou mam we'll right this shit to jury. I trust these 3 probably the most out of the whole game and it's seriously an alliance I plan to stick with, if I tell them all about the idol though it another story. But right now I think i'm in a pretty good spot and this game is shaping up nicely.

Oh also Phillip is being voted off.

This is also short and i'll update more tomorrow when i'm in a better mental frame of mind.

Ok so I need more detailing in my DR, not only for you guys but also for myself so I can keep up with what i'm doing :-! I'm also listening to The Best Of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana as I write this, cool or what?

So, we are now at the final 15 and compared to my position this time last season, I am in an incredibly better spot. Last time I was blindly aiding an alliance and there was nothing I could do about it, this time I am in the makings of a strong alliance and playing a way better social game than I did last time, I have people coming to me wanting to work with me, which never happened last season. I could be delusional but i'd say i'm in a good spot right now.

The vote for Phillip was something I actually wanted to happen, i've never spoken to him and although I wasn't a key part in the vote, I didn't need to be and he left. But what will be interesting will be the next vote. I need to talk to all Ted, Ace & Wanda 1 on 1 just to see if everyone is down for the alliance, right now I don't see why they wouldn't be and go from there. Ultimately next round I want to target Kourtney. She is forever on AIM and it wouldn't surprise me if she has a social game which could compete with mine, so she needs to go. Going over the dynamics of the tribe this vote should be one I can organise. Ace wants Kourtney gone for what happened with J.T, Ted & I will vote the same, the only thing that worries me is how close Wanda is to Kourtney, but i'll figure that out.

Kim & Semhar HATE each other, which is good and bad for me at the same time. I have a tentative deal with both of them and want to keep them both in the game for as long as possible together so they always go after each other. But if it comes down to it and I have to decide who I want to side with, it'd be Kim. I like Semhar a lot, like I really do, but trust her? I'm not sure. Kim has expressed on more than one occasion she wants to work with me and I believe her and she doesn't really have much else place to go, Semhar will jump ship the first chance she gets, so that's 2 boots lined up right there. This tribe has a lot of interesting dynamics and thankfully I think i'm in the positive of almost all of them, this switch is a dream for me.

The other tribe however, if I had ended up on that, my god I would probably end up playing my idol sooner rather than later. The only people i'd work with on that tribe are Judd, Dawg & Mike, but even all those 3 are questionable. When Judd went to Salsus for the second time Ted told me how Judd was told by Wanda or something that the idol has already be claimed. Hold up. Why are you not telling me this Judd? Like OK i'm hiding that I have an idol from you but it is not OK that you hide things from me /hypocrisy. It made me question Judd's loyalty to me but also who has the idol. Ted & I came to the strong guess that Dawg has it. Which is OK with me, but at the same time worries me. As soon as I found that out I increased my social game with Dawg and we now talk a lot more, I need him to feel comfortable around me enough to tell me about his idol, if he has one, when the time is right.

Anyway this is getting long, but that's pretty much my game right now, hope you enjoyed reading!
