Round 5 - Final 16

[SeanDjoko]

Tribe swap time! Haha, we all knew it was coming.

So the new Sonkei tribe is:

Sean
Shorty
Phil
Gabe
Ashley
Outlast
Dewie
Kyle

4 Fans, 4 Faves. It's definitely gonna be interesting to see what happens at tribal council, if it's gonna be a 4-4 tie. Will someone flip to either side? I have no idea. I don't think I will.

Usually I hate swaps in games, because it's usually around this time in games that I always get voted out. However I'm actually not feeling that bad about this? I wasn't feeling too great about my tribe, we booted some inactives and I haven't been quite as social lately, so even though I've been strong at the challenge it very well could've been me leaving the game fairly soon. It definitely gives me a fresh start.

Thankfully, Buddy and Gabriela were swapped to Chie, away from me, and I am not crying at f*cking all. I for sure think they would've flipped and voted me out based on the drama that we had in our other game the other day (see previous confessional).

I definitely think our tribe seems superior in challenges. I mean, the Fans at least, me, Shorty, Gabe and Phil were probably the Top 4 performers in my opinion, more so than Gabriela, ealotis, PGcool and Buddy. So that worked out well. I faced off against tre6 in Immunity Challenge #2 and beat him easily, he's on the opposite tribe to me which is good. The rest of the Favorites I haven't paid too much attention to their challenge strength, but I think the ones on Sonkei seem very capable.

That challenge was f*cking impossible. It was weird cause some pieces looked like they join up together but then you realise afterwards that it's in the wrong place cause part of the puzzle doesn't match up. Plus the IMG tags were a nightmare for me. It sucked!

The good news is it's really not a big deal if we lose, both tribes are going to tribal council regardless. It's just whoever wins this challenge gets to play for individual immunity. But still, it would be nice to win.

Shorty and I have been discussing who has the Hidden Immunity Idol. I've suspected since Day 2 or so that he had it, and we were talking about it and he just seemed super sketchy about it and mentioned he thinks Gabe has it cause he knows he's looking for it. And apparently he spoke to Jhonmarco, who thought that Dewie got the Faves idol. Not sure if this is true.

I'm definitely excited to see how it's gonna play out!

[SeanDjoko]

So things are getting interesting.

No matter what both tribes are going to TC, so Sonkei are gonna have to vote someone out. Based on tribal lines it should be a 4-4 vote, but I guess both sides are hoping to get someone to flip to their side.

I'm strongly considering flipping. After the blowup between me/Buddy/Gabriela, I really felt like I was on the bottom of the Sonkei tribe and probably the next to go. We sort of knew there was a swap coming and Shorty started talking to me about the game and sort of attempted to snow me into sticking with the Fans at the swap. I think he's worried I'm gonna flip.

Apparently Jhonmarco (who was voted out by the Favorites) has said that OutLastTheOutcast was on the bottom, so he might flip to us. Also Kyle has told me point blank his whole alliance his on the other tribe.

Dewie has been subtlely trying to get me to flip over to the Favorites, and I more or less said I don't want it to go to rocks. I want to keep that option open, to flip to the Favorites, cause if I don't think we're going to be able to get someone on our side to break the deadlock, it's probably going to be me who flips to the Favorites.

I was on the bottom I felt and I'm not going to rocks for people who were probably gonna vote me off. I felt pretty powerless so it'd be good to make a big move!

I feel like the game's finally starting now, those first few rounds were just getting rid of dead weight, but it's definitely intense now. Exciting!

[SeanDjoko]

So we lost the challenge. I literally don't give a f*ck. Cause we had to go to tribal council anyway.

Dewie is having a cry about it being unfair or something. Whatever.

[SeanDjoko]

What do you think of your new tribe? Any people you aren't a fan of?

I'm happy with the Fans who are on my tribe, I get along fine with Phil, Shorty and Gabe. The Favorites seem friendly enough too, even though I haven't gotten to know them too well at this stage.

I for sure think we're the stronger team in challenges so that's always a plus!

Are you happy with where you think you sit within your tribe? What do you think the alliances within the tribe will be?

I'm happy where I sit with this tribe, but as for the former Sonkei tribe in general, I didn't feel I was in a great position. I think the alliances in this tribe are still very much Fans vs. Favorites, the lines are clear.

Who do you predict will be going home at these two tribal councils coming up?

Most likely it will be going to rocks, meaning it could be literally anyone, or I might flip to the Favorites to ensure my safety.
