Week 3 Questions!

1. Who do you trust the most on your tribe?

I trust Ellen the most. 100%. She is my #1 ally, and we have a deal to go to the end together. We are SO alike and SO similar. We clicked instantly, and I hope we can make it through the game together.

2. Who do you think is "running things" on your tribe?

I believe the Dominic is under the impression that he is "running things". He is definitely a leader in challenges; however, I think Ellen and I have a lot of power with our relationships with people. I think we could sway votes how we want them. But we will have to see. It is difficult to say since we have not been to Judgement yet.

3. Do you think you have anything to be worried about?

As far as my tribe, I think I am sitting in a good position. However, I am definitely worried about Tina. Also, I am worried about future twists that could heavily impact the game.

4. What do you think of the secret partners twist?

I have no idea what to think of it! All I know is that I wish my partner was a bit more reliable. I will be able to keep Yuri around for a bit, but I don't know if I will be able to save him forever. I also don't know if he is worth saving. I just don't know at this point.

5. Are you worried about the Locked Door?

Yes. I think it is most likely a hidden immunity idol, and I am definitely worried that it will fall into the wrong hands.

Wow, what a finish last night. Honestly, I was so shocked we pulled it off. I guess you could say that Ellis is beginning to master clutch finishes! I would've loved to see the other tribe's chatroom when it happened. Chase had to be freaking out. When Ellis realized Chase's plan, we started to really throw a fit. I think it was a quick shot at our ego for sure. We acted a little bit immaturely for sure, but once we got over it, we really pulled together. I stepped up and came up with the idea to be ready and fight back the best we could. Then Dominic began to work on finding the fastest solution to the puzzle. Without Dominic this round, we would not have been successful in this challenge. He truly led us to victory, and he proved that he is a major asset in challenges that we really can't afford to lose right now. I'm just glad that we are up by 2 members after this. But I am definitely worried about what twists are in store for our future.

I think the challenge last night was definitely a good example of how overconfident we are. We started the challenge early, thinking we had it in the bag because of how many people we had online. We didn't even stop to think about a strategy or anything like that. The Liberty tribe definitely attempted to play it a lot smarter than us. I think it was good that we had a near-loss experience. It woke us up, and I think now we realize that we aren't the head honchos that we thought we were. Especially after this Judgement, The Liberty tribe are going to have a strong 6, and they will be a force to be reckoned with. They will be thirsty for a win, and we will have to do everything in our power in the next immunity challenge to keep our winning streak going. I just don't think we should get too cocky. And Morgan, I definitely apologize for our sour attitudes last night. That definitely was an example of how stuck up we are. We definitely were acting conceited.

The locked door does worry me. It is easy to assume that a hidden immunity idol is behind it, but it could even be something worse. The clues are extremely cryptic, and I can't figure it out. I'm not good at cracking codes like that. The worst case scenario is probably Tina finding it. She is so unpredictable, and I would be so frustrated if she would idol someone out or got any kind of power. I don't even know what is going through her head right now. She is a total wildcard, in my opinion.

Colleen approached me last night and started to talk to me about how me, Ben, and Ellen were her three favorites on the tribe. Later that night when Colleen, Ellen, and I were the only ones in the chat, I brought it up again. We talked about it a bit and decided that the four of us should make some sort of commitment to each other. I think it is important for Ellen and I to have a deal with Colleen. Colleen is definitely the type of person who I can see being with us long-term. It is clear that Tina's Army of Skanks was a hasty decision, and I really do not see the 5 of us in the final 5. I think it is a good idea to have Colleen in our pocket. I just need to get to Ben before Colleen does so he doesn't run off and tell Dominic or something. I think Ben is smart enough to understand this side-alliance and realize that it is necessary to have a deal with Colleen outside of Tina's Army of Skanks. Does it mean Ben and Colleen are a pair? Who knows. I really think she just picked her three favorite, but I have no idea. I was just glad to hear some game coming from Colleen because it means I can trust her a little bit more.

Yuri was in the hospital this round and sat out of the challenge for us. I just worry that he will be detriment in challenges. Although I hope that he is feeling better, I am just worried about the effect that he will have on my game. Ellen assured me that it is best to keep Yuri around and that we would be able to pull it off. We decided that Carly might be a good second boot for our tribe. I was trying to say good things about Carly and talk her up because I know she is AJ's partner, but I don't know if I will be able to save her. Carly hasn't talked game with anyone (that I know of), and I think she is a question mark in many people's minds. Maybe she is just saving it for when we have to go to Judgement. I don't know. But it is probably strategically smarter for me to keep my secret partner around for as long as possible. I have a deal with everyone on the tribe except for Carly and Tina, so it might just be smart to peg them as the first two boots from our tribe. I guess we are just lucky to not have to worry about Judgement yet.

Ellen is the person I talk the most game with. Like I said, we have just clicked SO well. However, she is probably also my biggest competition because we are so alike. I just can't imagine having to write her name down, and I don't think I'd have the heart to do it. So, I'm just not going to worry about it just yet. I play with my heart, and Ellen is like my best friend in this game. So at this point, I don't think I will ever write her name down. I believe she'd do the same for me.

I just feel like the game has barely even started. I mean even though it is already pretty intense, I think it will just get crazier and crazier as it progresses. I need to pace myself and not play too hard too fast. I don't want to be worn out for the endgame. So, I think I just need to slow down my racing thoughts and try to enjoy the game. I can't think too far ahead just yet because there is pure madness in our midst.

Oh I'd also like to take second and point out how Tina made an excuse in the challenge thread about not doing the challenge. She said no one was on the chat to help her, and she had logged in several times to check. Ummmm....no she didn't. There were 6 of us on having a good old time until at least 3 AM. She didn't log on once. She should just be honest and say she was out partying. I hate when people make up excuses that are complete BS. Then she logged on the chat last night and was like...

Tina: FUCK
Tina: NO ONE IS HERE AGAIN
Ryan: umm
Ryan: We're here, Tina
TIna: what?


DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU CAN'T SEE THAT WE ARE ONLINE TO COVER YOUR ASS. I honestly can't handle her. Seriously.
