Episode 5

Well we won the last challenge, which was awesome. We didn't have to go to Judgment so Carly, Ryan, and I all remained safe. Over the past couple of days, Ryan and I have both become increasingly closer to AJ, though. Like we have been chatting a lot in the chat and getting to know one another, growing closer, bonding, etc. Leah and Liam have been completely MIA, and even Carly since her outstanding performance in the previous challenge. That being said, Ryan and I have been feeling like it's almost an impending threesome between us two and AJ. We all get along so well and just mesh perfectly that we have been working together in the challenges, etc. Kendell has also been around, but AJ has been telling Ryan that Kendell doesn't like her since she is too abrasive, straight-forward, etc. It's weird. But today, AJ told Ryan that "we have the majority" so hopefully that means AJ is completely on our side now, which may be the truth! We think that AJ is very tired of Liberty and ready for a change. Ryan and I have discussed it that if AJ does flip to save us and Carly, then we're definitely on board for keeping AJ around for a while, maybe long-term, who knows? But at least until the point where we get to our original group on Ellis, and then we'll choose then basically. Or we'll play it by year. But for now, let's focus on getting majority here and I think we found our in with AJ. <3 Love that girl. I had great impressions of her from the beginning. I'm so glad I made the swap with her!

Hi Selena! It's nice to meet you.

1) I think the biggest threat in the game and the biggest threat to my game are completely different things. For example, the biggest threats in the game could be: Chase, Ryan, or Dominic (maybe Ellen?) in my opinion. They're all really strong, have leadership qualities, and I think they're the biggest players thus far. Ironically, the biggest threat to my game is probably none of these people since Chase is my secret partner, Ryan is now my closest ally, and Dominic is the figurehead of my Ellis alliance. The biggest threat to my personal game has to be someone I'm not connected to whatsoever: someone like... Jonah, Tina, maybe Leah or Liam, but yeah. I don't feel like any of them are "big threats" in the general sense.

2) Since I haven't been to any judgments yet (knock on wood), I'd have to pinpoint my biggest accomplishment as forming alliances or performing well in challenges. Being social overall is probably my best "accomplishment" since it put me in strong positions to be trusted, become connected, and to form alliances, which is what set me up the best here. It also helped me set up budding friendships which may lead into strategical advances, such as AJ.

3) My absolute favorite person is a difficult question. Overall, I'd probably say Colleen. We clicked so well back on Ellis and we shared such similar viewpoints on everyone, including Ellen who we viewed as a threat for being social, and I felt bad for her when she was outcasted by Yuri's forced alliance. But lately I've been growing much closer to AJ and Ryan, so who knows where that may end up going in itself/ I trust Ryan a lot more than I used to since we were forced onto this tribe together, and I think it put us in a dependent position upon one another and I can't say I don't like it, because I've grown quite fond of Ryan herself. So that's a difficult question. It depends where Colleen's head is at when we reunite I guess.

Hope this helps. Thank for the questions!
