Episode[304]
So, I was probably the only one not expecting a tribe switch this round. Everyone was running around freaking out about there being a tribe switch because of having to create everyone's stats. I was trying to calm everyone down by saying how it was probably just part of the challenge. I did not think that there would be a tribe switch until a little later on in the game. Well, I guess that just shows how you cannot assume anything. And since we had a tribe switch already, I am definitely expecting to have another one before the merge -- if there is a merge. I don't think we should get too comfortable on our tribes. Something tells me there will be a lot of mix-ups! But I could be wrong yet again!
When I saw my new tribe, I had a lot going through my head. I immediately noticed how there were fewer original Ellis member than original Liberty members. However, I also saw AJ was on my tribe. Ben, Carly, and I were the perfect threesome to have in this minority. Carly is AJ's secret partner, Ben and AJ got along fantastically round 1, and I know AJ outside of the game. It basically is the perfect match to get AJ to flip. I didn't want to come into this EXPECTING AJ to flip for me, though. I knew that starting out on two different tribes would cause complications. However, she is the one who brought it up to me first. She says that she does not consider it flipping. She considers it voting out those who do not contribute as much.
Another thing I noticed is that the Locked Door is gone. That makes me think that someone probably got into it. Ben said that it was still there on Christmas day, after the switch. I thought that I remembered seeing it too. That makes me worry that Liam or Leah got into it. I'm not too worried about Kendell because she seems pretty useless. Either that, or it disappeared during the switch. I have no idea. Either way, somebody probably got into it. That means that most likely a hidden immunity idol is in play. That could cause major problems, and I'm super nervous about it!
I was sad to be separated from Ellen. I'm a little worried about how this will affect our relationship. Hopefully we can come back together eventually. I just have no idea at this point.
The challenge sucked. I mean, it was a great challenge, but it took a LOT of effort. I think I really proved to my new tribe that I am an asset. However, I may have also stood out as a threat, which worries me. Either way, I won individual immunity for my next Tribal Council, which means I am guaranteed at least the top 12. So hooray for me! Winning the challenge was nice because it was definitely intimidating to see probably the 4 strongest competitors -- Dominic, Jonah, Chase, and Ellen -- on the opposing team. It felt really great to beat them. However, it means that I will probably lose Yuri. I have no idea what negative affect Yuri getting voted out will have on my game. Hopefully none, but only time will tell. I'm sad to lose my boyfriend.
And I also feel bad because I said some mean things about him, and now he is in the hospital. That just makes me feel like an awful person. However, winning the challenge wasn't all good. Honestly, I'd kinda prefer to lose the next one. I mean, I won't throw it. I'm too competitive to throw a challenge. But I want the opportunity to vote out Liam. I already talked to AJ, and we agreed that Liam would be the next to go. I also think he is the most likely to have gotten into the Locked Door, if it was broken into post-swap. In addition, it is suspected that Liam and Dominic are secret partners. Breaking them up would probably be the best case scenario. Even though Kendell is kind of useless, keeping her around has its perks. She is someone that really isn't a threat. I just think it is important to get rid of Liam and Leah over here. I'm still bleeding my original Ellis colors, and I want as many strong original Liberty members gone before the merge as possible.
I am just going to play things day by day. I can't look too far into the future because we never know when a twist will fall upon us. This shit's cray!
