Confessionals

[Nate]

Speak about what's happening in the game, your strategy, your alliances, your suspicions, etc.



Nobody can see this except for those with the password, so as long as you don't give out the password to anyone, only you and and the moderators can see this, nobody in the game or the viewers can see this until after the game has ended.



Every few days I will ask questions, but aside from that, speak your mind whenever you have something to say. I want to hear it all.

Time to spill my episode 1 thoughts:

When I first arrived on the beach, I just felt the energy flowing, you know? The Veterans tribe was hungry and stacked as hell, but our underdog Rookies team is probably way better anyways. I'm totally happy with my tribe, and I'm looking forward to kicking some a** with them <3

However, I am NOT a fan of the veterans tribe. They all clearly think they're hot sh*t, and I'm just not down with that at all. The most irritating qualities a person can have are stupidity and arrogance. The vets have these traits in spades, and I'm not impressed. Hopefully they become less irritating in the future, because right now I just want them all to shut the f*ck up.

In contrast, my tribe is a lot of fun to be around. Obviously it's early in the game, so a lot of sh*t can change quickly, but I enjoy most of my tribe. You know, except the inactives but they'll be gone in like a day anyways.

[gabebabe]

Once we hit the beach, I think it was pretty obvious who was clicking and who wasn't. And I obviously started forming bonds right away. I don't want to overextend my number of allies, but I needed at least a few.

My first ally was Shorty, who approached me very early in the game. We got to talking about a bunch of things, and he's a pretty cool dude. He has been telling me pretty much everything he knows, so I think he trusts me. He and I have a tight final two deal. Will I stick with it? Who the f*ck knows at this point. He seems genuinely loyal though, so I'd like to keep him around awhile.

My next ally was Phil, who I bonded with over a similar gaming past. We both hail from the site FGC, where he's a moderator. In spite of the fact that we're both long-term players on that board, we'd never actually talked. So we spent a lot of time bonding over this site and the people on it, and the fact that I can't say f*ck as many times as I want. Censoring my inner thoughts about penises and vaginas and sex just really makes me sad But yeah Phil and I have formed a tight bond, and I see us sticking together for a while. We are enjoying laughing at the vets and how badly we want to destroy them like I destroy a**holes on the reg.

[gabebabe]

I also bonded with Gabriela a little bit, just because my full name is Gabriel. We haven't spoken one on one much, but we call each other name twins and stuff, so I think she's a potential ally down the line.

Recently, I think I've bonded a ton with Buddy too. At first I thought he would be an annoying goofball who would annoy the sh*t out of me, but I really quite like him now. He's actually from the same hometown as me and we share a passion for dicks and alcohol. Needless to say we've connected on a deep level, and he's someone I see myself aligning with.

The other tribe members I don't really know too well to be honest. Sean and SweetC seem nice enough, but I haven't talked to them personally. Eaoltis and Josh are the most out of the loop and don't usually take part in group chats. I'm thinking one of those two is probably gonna be the first boot for a tribal council. But things can change so who knows

~The Next Day~

Today was a hilarious day because of the hidden immunity idol. At first Nate gave that clue for us all to look, so naturally I went looking and shorty and I decided to work together to find that idol. Shorty found the links and I did all the puzzles for him because I'm clearly the brains of this sh*t. After I found the campground stuff where the idol was hidden, I decided to go off and get other sh*t done. Shorty found the idol as I was expecting. I wanted him to have the idol instead of me, because it's too early in the game for such a large target to go on my back. I want to be as Under the Radar as possible for as long as possible. And giving the idol to someone who trusts me implicitly, keeping it in my reach but out of my pocket is pretty much perfect for my game.

And then... Shorty publicly sent that message about having found the idol. I think I literally DIED laughing when I saw that. He meant to talk to only Nate, but somehow managed to let everyone in the game know that the idol was in his hands. I talked him down about how it was no big deal, but clearly it's a big deal. It's incompetence of the highest order, but that just makes me want to work with him more. Someone who f*cks up so badly would bumblef*ck their way into becoming a target, and I could fly under the radar behind him. Phil and I actually had a good laugh over his massive failure, because it's hilarious. I don't know how a person can manage to f*ck up so badly, but he did and it was gold. That was some funny sh*t right there.

[gabebabe]

Also, I spent a deal of time hanging out with Gabriela and Shorty, and realized that they're nice, moralistic people *barf* I went up to them and said "Hi whores" as I often do with people, but they weren't cool with that apparently. I guess it's ok to have morals or whatever, but I'm just not like that and I don't know how to talk to people who do. They spent time talking about their virginity and how they're waiting for the right person, and I was just cringing. I am like the complete opposite of that sh*t, and Phil felt the same way pretty much. We laughed about some of this stuff and worried about being stuck in TEAM JESUS's campground. Ultimately I do think they are nice people, but I want them to let loose a little bit more than what they've shown so far. I pray we win some alcohol in a future challenge, that'll damn sure loosen everyone up for the better.

[gabebabe]

At the challenge, I think the tribe were actually fairly even matched. I know the Vets talk up their hot sh*t, but I'm not afraid to take them on. I'm actually pretty proud of how I did in the challenge. I did well and was definitely an asset to my tribe, but I didn't do anything too well to seem threatening. Falling perfectly in the middle of the curve is how I want to play this early on, and I'm playing it to perfection.

However, I have to discuss the challenge performances of Josh and SweetC. Both f*cked up. Badly. Josh and SweetC didn't even TRY in the swimming part of the challenge. Literally they took 7 f*cking years, while the rest of us kept time with the Vets. WE CAN'T BEAT THEM WITH THIS f*ckING DEAD WEIGHT. GO HOME GET OUT YOU ARE LESS USEFUL THAN A f*ckING THIRD NIPPLE. I have no respect for either of them, and they really need to get gone asap for the good of the tribe and my sanity.

Luckily enough, SweetC became a total drama queen, threw a massive 10 year old temper tantrum, and left the game classlessly. f*ck you too b*tch, thanks for nothing. I hope everyone else on this team is ready to play. I am not about to lose to the biggest group of egotistical douchebags I've ever seen. I intend on owning this sh*t, and my tribe better do the same. Anyone who's not ready for that can just exit now, because I can't even deal with half-assed bullsh*t from any teammate of mine.

[gabebabe]

1. I honestly have no idea where I fall within the tribe's pecking order. As far as I'm aware, the strategy of our tribe has been very very minimal. So that either means I'm completely f*cked and at the bottom (not sexually unfortch ), or we just don't really have a pecking order yet. For my sanity's sake I'm just going to assume the latter.

2. My number 1 ally on my tribe is Shorty. He and I made a Day 1 alliance and went idol hunting and we're generally really great around each other. Is he the smartest person in this game? Hell no he's not. But can I trust him unwaveringly? Yeah I'm pretty sure I can trust him to stick with me for a while. My least favorite person is Josh or eaoltis. Both of them don't talk to me and all, and it's frankly rude. Would it hurt to get off your f*cking asses and talk to me for a minute? Oh, it would? THEN FORGET YOU. I wish I could slam a door in their face for their tude.

3. Uhm duh I ~KNOW~ the idol's been found. It doesn't take a mastermind to know who has the idol when Shorty messaged the entire tribe accidentally telling us all he had it. ~GENIUS~. I hope this works out for Shorty though I want to work with him in the long term. Shorty having the idol is actually the best thing for me possible. I don't have the threat of the idol on me, but I am in close proximity with it at all times. Perfect!

[gabebabe]

Day 4-6 Confessionals:

1. Who is Stan? Was he a contestant? To be honest, I could give a f*ck about any of the favorites. They all have inflated egos and act tough and sh*t, and I'm just like ENOUGH with them. If I got my way, the fans would slowly but surely devour all of the favorites until there were none left. Obviously that's not likely, but they annoy me so much I'm gonna try that sh*t anyways!

2. We're actually really cohesive. There's no real superstructure to the tribe, we just buckle down and get sh*t done. I doubt the other tribe is nearly as cohesive as ours. That's why I'd prefer it if the tribes weren't switched up. We have a great group dynamic and we're pretty awesome together, so I'd like to stick together. However, I don't think a swap would be a total disaster. Our group has already talked about sticking together through a swap, so I doubt any of us will flip. Anyone who flips would take so much verbal abuse from me that I doubt anybody wants to risk that ^_^

3. I see myself going far in this game. I mean, DUH I have to have confidence in myself and believe that I can win this game. That's the only way I'll win. I also see Phil going far in this game, he's hella smart and a force. I can also see Kaitlyn and Ashley going far, because they're the only veterans who don't seem to be completely awful. As for who's going early, obviously Josh is limping through the game. It's only a matter of time til he's taken out. I also think Dewie will be gone soon. He was a f*cking first boot, yet he walks around like his sh*t don't stink. Not a fan AT ALL. If he's not gone soon, I will be somewhat disappointed.

Episode 3 Confessionals (I think?)

Today at the challenge, I think we did our best. Clearly Gabriela and Josh were the weak links.. They just sucked. The veterans didn't even do THAT much better than us, so I'm not sure why they were getting high and mighty. Whatever, I'm ~ABOVE~ them anyways. Josh is such an obvious target that I think our tribal will be very relaxing. Sure Gabriela totally f*cked up this challenge, but she's actually alive so the choice is clear.

In spite of what it seems, our tribe was ALL DRAMA today. There was a little bit of drama before Tribal Council, but most of the crazy sh*t went down after tribal. It's actually kinda ironic because our tribal was a peaceful boot of Josh's dead weight, but our tribe has recently become a lot more chaotic than it has any right to be.

[gabebabe]

I actually have no idea what caused our tribe's drama, it's all very vague. It started out as Sean versus Buddy. Apparently the pair of them are in another game together, and Sean voted Buddy out. Buddy basically started swearing and cussing and calling Sean out.. He was acting the fool, screaming and shouting and it was HILARIOUS. Sean reamed his a**, telling him that they weren't even tribemates initially, so he doesn't get why being in this game together should make him any more loyal in the other game. Sean really does have a point, they need to take their f*cking baggage from other games and get rid of it in this one.

Then, Gabriela got in on the fighting too. Apparently she's in the same game as both of them, and called out Buddy for being one hell of a shady creature. There was a lot of back and forth yelling, but it was pretty much incoherent to me because there was no context behind it. Naturally, I found it f*cking hilarious. These dumbasses just painted massive targets on their backs, and now there's like 5 of us on the tribe just sitting pretty as those three completely nuke their own games. It's like a trainwreck in slow motion, but it's actually funny.

This sets me up in a great spot, because now there's a good chance that I can fly under the radar to the next stage of the game, be it a swap or a merge. If it's a swap I think I'm good because the veterans seem to like me more than most of the annoying-a** fans. Maybe I'm just conceited, but I generally feel more well liked than most of my tribe. Ultimately though, my goal is to stick with the fans. We're all here trying to prove we can beat up the vets, and riding their coattails will certainly NOT get that job done. I'm not here to be a puppet, a dancing monkey, or a goat. Point blank.

[gabebabe]

My vote is for Josh. His corpse is starting to reek and wild animals keep attacking our camp because of it. Go away.

I want to keep a record of all these in my confessional thread just cause I can.

Episode 4 Confessionals

Coming into this challenge, there was definitely a drive for the fans to win: at least on my part. After the big confrontation between Gabriela, Sean, and Buddy, everyone on the tribe was in a little bit of a worried state. I really had no idea how all of the in-fighting and craziness would affect our next tribal council and I wasn't about to find out. I refuse to go to a tribal council where I don't know exactly what's going down. I need to know exactly what's going to happen at any given point, it's just that simple really. I'm a control freak, and I intend to stay that way for the duration of this game.

Edited to add episode because the day numbers confuse the sh*t outta me

[gabebabe]

Also, once we actually got to the challenge, I made the decision for us to compete one player short. Shorty and Eaoltis sat back being indecisive pussies, but I took the reins and said that we were willing to go ahead with the challenge. In my mind, that was a total leader call so if we lost, my a** was grass. So naturally I came into that challenge fighting for the gold. Shorty, Eaoltis, and eventually PGCool competed, but let's be real they were about as useful as a third nipple. Neither of them came anywhere close to scoring a point. So really, it was me versus the veterans tribe. AND I WON! I should probably be gracious about my win, but I don't really have any tact. HAHA I WON THAT ALL BY MYSELF! f*ckING AWESOME!

[gabebabe]

It was such a great moment because the vets were talking so much smack before that, and I single-handedly put them in their place.

Now this was both a good and a bad thing. It's good because I bonded with the veterans and proved I'm here to play. After the challenge, a few of them came up to me and talked about how awesome I am and how I'm clearly the best fan. I mean obviously I already knew that, but it's nice to hear the vets tell me the same thing. It's also helping me shore up a couple of bonds with that group.. If a swap happens I want to be in with both the fans and the faves. For example, I think Kaitlyn and I formed a good bond over being the biggest forces in challenges. If we were on a post-swap tribe together, I doubt that tribe would ever lose a challenge. We're just that good. I also talked a bit with Ashley. And then I formed a secret alliance with Jhon. I doubt it'll come into play, but if it does I am ready for it.

The other good thing about the challenge was all of the smack talk. Obviously the vets were just kidding, but I think most of the fans are too stupid to pick up on their sarcastic nature. And I like it that way. I'm trying to keep an anti-veteran sentiment going over at the fans camp, and it's much easier to do so when the vets are being b*tches to everyone. <3 So thanks vets, I appreciate the help!

[gabebabe]

Along with the positives come the negatives, and there's one big bad thing to come out of this challenge.. My under the radar strategy has totally blown up in smoke. From this point forward, regardless of how I do, these people are going to label me a challenge threat. I mean they're not wrong because I'm easily the biggest threat in challenges once the game becomes individual. But I don't want to be seen that way by other people, so I'm not sure what exactly to do. My thought process is that I should act like a naive strategist and lousy social player. Maybe people won't care about my challenge dominance if I suck at the other areas of the game? I don't know.. I have to think on this. Whatever I decide to do, it probably won't be that hard to deceive the people in this game *cackling*

Have fun at tribal, vets! *blows mock kisses*

Episode 5 Confessionals

So after we got to the next challenge, a tribe swap happened... I wonder why I'm not surprised by this... OH YEAH you hinted it at us like a billion freaking times before today. Honestly, I would've been much more shocked if we merged or if we had an instant vote or something. The swap was just so expected for us. However, I did NOT expect there to be a double tribal council. Like seriously what the f*ck. Do you actually expect me to get my strategic sh*t together in a couple of days? HELLO I need time to get it together. Whatever, I guess I'll just grin and bear it to get through this tribal council.

As for my tribe, the fans I'm still with are Phil, Shorty, and Sean. This is great for me because Phil is probably my closest ally in this game and Shorty is unwaveringly loyal to me much like a puppy.. or my b*tch. Whichever works. Sean is the most innately boring human being in existence though. Every time I think of our tribe.. I'm like who's the 4th fan with us again? He's just so boring and unexciting that I can't imagine having an enjoyable conversation with him. It's like pulling teeth I swear. 

[gabebabe]

As for the veterans on our tribe, there's Dewie, Ashley, Kyle, and Outlast. Dewie I obviously like, because he's a sarcastic b*tch just like I am. Wait is Dewie a girl? I'm so confused. Doesn't matter I'll figure it out in time. Oh wait Dewie's a boy because of those little symbols under the names. Clearly I'm a genius. Anywho, Ashley seems like a cool person too. I want to get to know her a bit better. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Ashley and Dewie were a pair in the game. They just have that vibe to them you know. I get the vibe that Kyle is boring too. I've had a conversation or two with him so far and he's not exactly... interesting. Who knows he could be useful to me or good at the game, but he's hella boring to talk to. And that leaves outlast... he's like a mute, I swear I've never seen the guy speak. Ever. Maybe he'll come out of the woodwork now that we share a tribe, but frankly I doubt it.

[gabebabe]

So right after we got sorted into new tribes, the strategy began anew. I feel like I'm in good with most of the tribe, so I'm not particularly worried about any of these upcoming votes being bounced right onto me. The funny thing is, I just sat around doing nothing and stumbled a**-backwards into an alliance. I'm so good that I don't have to do sh*t to get in good with everyone!

Basically what happened is that Dewie and Phil were talking, and formed a cross-tribal alliance because nobody actually wants this vote to tie. Pulling rocks would be f*cking stupid, and ain't nobody really wants to do it. Except for shorty, because he's f*cking insane and has the hidden immunity idol. Anywho, Dewie and Phil both came to me suggesting an alliance of me, Dewie, Phil, Ashley, and Kyle. Phil and I obviously agreed to the deal because we're not fools and didn't want to become instant targets. But the inclusion of Kyle is obviously a big red flag for both Phil and I. We would easily be 4th and 5th within that alliance, and we would be easy boots if we lost too many challenges. So right now I feel like that's a solid 5, so it might be our safest route. We'd like to get rid of Outlast first as a sort of security blanket, but I'm not sure how that will sell with Dewie and Ashley (let's be real Kyle has no real power). 

[gabebabe]

So we went to the challenge, and the idea was to split into teams of 2, each of us doing different types of puzzles. The tribes were neck and neck after the first two rounds, but we came out of the third round with a slight lead. So obviously I was like: BRING. IT. ON. I'm great at jigsaw puzzles and I knew I would excel at that sort of thing. But Kaitlyn was on the same puzzle for the Chie tribe, so I knew I'd have my work cut out for me. She's pretty awesome at these challenges, so I knew I'd have to go all out to beat her. I went all out, and I did pretty damn well if I do say so myself. I got it done in like 12-13 minutes.. Not as fast as Kaitlyn and Buddy's time, but pretty damn close. We had enough of a lead where we'd still win. So why didn't we win? Well that is entirely due to Kyle. I sat around waiting for Kyle to do his part thinking "surely he's almost done" and "he can't actually be taking this long." Well he did actually take that long, and we narrowly lost to the Chie tribe because of it. I think he's a weak link and I want him f*cking gone asap. I don't care that he's in my alliance, he's just pissed me off and I am NOT about that.
