A Beauty Trying to Serve Beast/Confessionals

Day 1
"ouani"

- So the cast has just been reveal and after meeting my tribe mates. Jesus fucking Christ i have a lot to work with. For starters. Fucking Joan!?!? Man that really throw me off a bit. So far he’s not active at the moment so i’m not for sure where’s he’s head is at, but i don’t plan to working with anytime soon, if best for everybody he would have to go first i believe. However i don’t want to come across to controlling otherwise i be seen as a threat later on. So i’m just gonna wait it out and when the opportunity arises, i be happy to vote Joan out of here. As for the others, Grace and I were on an Eden season tho she wasn’t active at this time, she is someone i wouldn’t mind working with. Alex V is without a doubt a beast in challenges so i’m glad he’s on our tribe. Him and I were on The Challenge: The Island together and I gave him my key even thought when i was gonna win that final challenge i wasn’t gonna take his key and sent him home. But he doesn’t have to know that, so maybe i might work with him, but he’s a big threat no doubt about it, and both him and Grace are former winners, so it’s best for me to be on their good side for now. As for the others, Amori? I think he’s nice, Zach is crazy who i might be open to, and Andrea hasn’t talk to me yet so we’ll who’s she about. I will looking them up and see how they played just get an idea of who i’m dealing with. Other then that, it’s great being back in 703 Survivor again as an all star :)

"moya"

- YAS WE STARTING! Early good vibes from the tribe. I adore Nathan. Loren and I have some bad history. Really excited to win this!

"ouani"

- "Wohoo I'm back and I'm ready to annihilate this bitch. This is an interesting tribe, definitely seems the most old school out of all of them which I like, but I'm also wary of pre-existing relationships. Austin literally just told me he played with Joan in Japan.

I'm connecting a bit with Alex and Grace, even if it's just completely superficial game talk. Austin's pretty hard to talk to honestly. Haven't gotten to chat with Andrea and Joan yet. Love my boy Zach tho, we've been good friends for over a year and he's one of the few orgers I kept in touch with even when I left for a bit. But the best part is one will suspect it, because we always talk on this group chat (which also includes someone else from this season) so no one would notice anything too sketchy if they stalked our timelines.

I love how I said I'm wary of pre-existing relationships then literally bragged about being friends with Zach. I'm definitely not planning on using pre-games to my benefit or to discredit anyone else though. But I've been on the receiving end of a pre-game alliance before so I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit paranoid about it. "

"wanani"

- "Who are these people... honestly I love it because I love meeting new people!! I like the people on my tribe too, I got to a lot of people first and I made sure I can sink my claws into potential allies before anyone else can, which seems to be working because a few of them already asked to be allies. Imma do like an opinion thing of all my tribemates:

Pory: FUNNY THING THOUGH.. I REALLY DISLIKED HIM BEFORE THIS.. he called me the worst kind of juror in another org I played because i voted for someone instantly (who literally won in a landslide anyway) and I don't forget these things... but we've seemed to have grown a real good relationship so far. He asked me to be a duo like two hours into the whole thing which is great knowing I have him in my corner. I know he's not the most liked person which I could possible use to my advantage when it comes to the hierarchy in our tribe, a boot order is gonna be established real soon.

Augusto: He seems nice!! We haven't talked too much because he's been working but I'm still working on him but the thing is... he talks like me. TOO much like me. maybe im delusional... but that's NOT cute. but i aint gonna let it control my game obv LMAO but i'll keep it in mind because he's good socially and he's won before so I need to keep an eye on him.

Brian: Literal crickets... he hasn't been social with me at all and believe me I've tried.. pory wants to work with him so idk but I'll see where I can fit into it, I did my homework and i know he's a challenge beast in his previous seasons, hopefully he can carry our tribe in the challenges.

Rob: He's an interesting character, I don't gel with him super easily but we're bonding well enough where i'm comfortable with him. I could see him being an ally down the road, but an expendable one probably unless he steps up his social game with me.

Dani: i LOVEEEE dani omg.. she's a legit queen and we know OF each other before this so this is our first time talking and it's been fabulous!! we've already established a lowkey alliance which is lovely and i definitely can see myself working closely with her going down the road, but she also seems to be a really scary enemy to have too. She's lowkey freaked out by Mihai tho KSKSKS

Mihai: omg my heart... he's a cutie and he's really sweet and he already asked to be a duo!! he seems like SUCH a loyal person and I'd be stupid not to take his deal seriously, plus he's from an old generation where trust was more of a thing so i feel like I can use him, but he's also so sweet... definitely would love to work with him going forward and ACTUALLY idk if im COMPLETELY misreading what he's saying but i think he's... flirting with me?? I really can't tell since there is a slight language barrier but he's sending winky faces and stuff like... i can definitely have a little fun while manipulating him... black widow brigade style hehe but maybe im delusional so bye

Overall, I think I'm in a good position currently and I can survive a few tribals if i keep up my social game, this is gonna be wild"

"wanani"

- Soooo, I am finally back! ❤️ Although when I saw the tribes, I was a bit disappointed because I’ve been wanting to play with Grace since like forever, now my tribe seems cool. I actually had some longs talks with Tobi and Augusto and somehow suggested an alliance to them. Dani always intimidated me and if I could, I would take her out asap, she is so dangerous, but come on, no way people will vote her out. Rob seems smart af and I like that,I hope to work with him. Overall, I feel pretty good in my tribe, but deffo not safe. First days always give me a lot of anxiety, so I gotta stay calm and pretend I care about these people, so I can build relations and survive.

"ouani"

- "After settling into the tribe, I am feeling that I am starting to get a grasp the dynamics. Right out of the gate I am feeling that Andrea, Grace and Vivor are for sure the three major players of the tribe, and hopefully myself too. Meanwhile, Aro, Austin and Zach don't seem to have as much of a grip, so that is the faintest of lines being drawn. Overall, I am happy with this tribe, it seems strong and well-suited for challeges, and no dynamic duos or the like have popped out to me, so it does seem like a clean slate to me. I feel like I vibe with Vivor the most, but at the same time he is the player I am most wary of. In the other hand I also feel slightly wary of Austin, back in Japan I really had it out for him because he didn't gel socially and he disliked me (and I was a mess), I've feigned forgetfulness about Japan to hint that I am open to a new start, but his overal demeanor isn't emanating that sort of openness back.

I do feel like this season is going to be set in motion through subtle, more refined dynamics. The only major anchor I have in this cast is Dani, who I am friends with, as much as I like her as my friend I don't think she'll do me any goods, since she might paint me as the leader/tyrant that I tend to naturally be. However, I do hope she keeps to herself just as I am. Other than Dani, I can see this cast being like an archipellago of islets that have no solid bridges connecting them. Sure, there might be connections between them, but they lack maintenance due to the pass of time (like my relationship with Austin), the bridges have been eroded by the waves basically, or they are VERY weak like my connections to say, Andrea, Vivor, Grace or Mihai, so bamboo bridges essentially.

Lastly, the only bridge that might matter one bit might be that I have with Nathan, he betrayed me in Resurrection with Cali, after I became blinded with a petty rivalry with Julia, and that might come right back to bite him, as it seems that Vivor and him have some sort of off-season drama going on. I won't overthink it, it's Day 1 after all, but I am jotting it down into this nice fancy journal I am keeping on the players and season, because just like Chekhov's gun, it might come back into play later. So yes, I am trying to play more carefully this time around, because I do feel that with a playing field filled with uncertainties it's the way you have to go on about it. I am watching, writing and waiting to see what's up, that's my strategy for the next few days."

"wanani"

- I… returned? I’m shocked by it too but I’m so happy I did! Byzantium for me was such an amazing experience that really changed me as a player in ORGs but also as a person to some extent (like I’ve grown up a lot since then) and I am more than ready to show my growth in Annihilation. In Byzantium, I was a Beauty but I’m trying to serve BEAST this season instead by really being on top of the game and doing what I came to do; win a second time! The Byzantium king (as said by Tyler hgfjdks) will STAY king… my crown ain’t falling anytime soon <3

"wanani"

- I am on the pink Wanani tribe and let’s just say… starting off on a pink tribe has done well for me in the past, so I’m excited about that! Looking at this cast, I am intimidated because we got a lot of different flavors for every taste palette like deadass… we got winners, runner-ups, POTS/FFs, robbed legends, basically anything and everything to make this season one for the books so to speak. However, again I am here to secure the bag so I can’t let it faze me!! My tribe is really cool and I recognize a few of them such as Dani and Rob so that’ll be exciting! I am a bit worried about socializing because a sis is an adult that works now but again, I do take pride in my social game and this shouldn’t be any different! :D I’ll give a rundown about my cast in a minute hbgnfmds

"wanani"

- "~ Wanani Tribe ~ Brian: Him and I discussed being sick which was kinda funny ghfjdska he seems sorta cool, just need to talk to him more!

Dani: She actually hosted me in Kariba (where I got out 15th with two advantages nnn) so like while I am nervous knowing that, she is overall an amazing person and I’ve laughed during our interactions which have included me sending her reaction vids about my weight hgjfdks

Mihai: Mihai’s and I’s talks have been super cute ngl like we call each other amigo and he’s really interesting to talk too, we kinda are working together? At least he’s making it seem that way so yay for that hgfjdks

Pory: Our first interaction was talking about Nintendo so off to a good start with him! He seems dope

Rob: Rob and I are like the same person? Idk like our chats have been super engaging and we’ve talked about like politics and whatnot already so eyyy

Tobi: Tobi is super nice but also a scammer hgfjdsk (he knows why haha), our talks have also been really cute and funny ~Moya Tribe (aka the one with my fave color but also filled with testosterone)~ Devon/Konstantinos/Lex/Loren: Honestly, I don’t know much about them so I’m excited to maybe get to know them a bit and find out!!

Drew: LEGEND, MY FAVE, UM…. PERIODT? Seriously though, I know and love Drew so much like he’s amazing… however, the sis gotta go because I know he spreads his mist around and sucks people INNNN and I don’t wanna be on the receiving end of that!!

Linus: Linus and I have a really cute relationship in the sense that this will be our 3rd game together and we’ve had different interactions throughout. I voted him out in Byzantium but it helped me win and was the start of me voting out all the Champions and then in LBB, we were super close and almost like partners in crime… I was next to him on the block and he went home. So hopefully we can work together this time around and do some damage :D

Nathan: I don’t know Nathan personally but I’ve seen him on Tumblr and I’ve kinda interacted with him so I know he seems like a really dope person plus he’s played 4 times now which is awesome :D

~Ouani Tribe~ Austin/Joan/Zack: Don’t know too much about them but I’d love to meet them!!

Alex/Grace: They are both winners like me so that’s good to keep in mind, maybe we can be in a Winner’s Alliance…. Or I’ll be a GC Sandra and try to be the last remaining one… we’ll see :D

Andrea: Also a legend! Her and I are currently in a game together and she’s such an awesome person so I hope we cross paths here <3

Aromal: This legend hosted me in Byzantium so I’m interested to see how that affects our relationship :D

Overall, this cast is really stacked and I’m honored to be a part of it… it’s gonna be hard to win again but I’d love to do that ghfjds"

Day 2
"ouani"

- "So day 2 was a lot less scarier than day 1, despite having to compete in a hellish flash game for a 0.33 chance of safety. I've talked a lot more with Andrea, even exchanged a ""got yo back"" with her, so I hope that sticks. Didn't talk as much with Grace and Alex today but I'm not worried about them just yet. Joan is super interesting but we've only talked sporadically because of timezones which sucks. Austin still seems very disinterested. Zach and I bonded a lot more last night, so even setting aside the pre-existing relationship I feel like I can confide in him more than anyone.

Zach and I had an interesting conversation about pre-games. Now fair warning to whoever is reading this post-season: we are simply SPECULATING, we are NOT acting based on our speculations whatsoever. We think that if people were playing through pre-existing relationships, there could be the potential of the tribe being split into 3 pairs, with Grace in the middle. Us two, Andrea/Alex, and Joan/Austin. Andrea/Alex because they both went to the end together in Canadienne, and Joan/Austin because they're both old schoolers who played in the same season and aren't too active in the community nowadays. As much as people hate it when you bring the topic of pre-games up, I feel you'd be stupid to not be wary of it at least. Zach also agreed that Austin was the hardest to talk to, so it looks my fears of Austin being a secret social butterfly who just hates me seems unfounded. I'm sensing a possible first boot here...

Also I've been joking about Linus smoking everyone so much I wonder if people is starting to think I'm bringing up Linus as a target. Apologies to future Linus if somehow people on my tribe blindside him for being a challenge threat."

"ouani"

- "When the double tribal twist got announced, I was pretty shook, the fact that I am almost guaranteed to go to tribal scared me at first, so I've been slowly working on that across the day to get a bit of a headstart. The challenge in itself was Bubble Bees, which I am very fortunate to have played in the past A LOT because it used to be in every single org I played a couple of years ago. I was waaaaay ahead of the tribe throughout the day, so I decided to coach them once I reached a pretty respectable 8820 score. I feel that it gave me the sort of visibility required to stay despite knowing I was not gonna be one of the higher scores, as Vivor and Aro, whom I personally coached, surpassed me, and so did Grace. I am happy being smackdown in the middle, especially when I 'helped' others do better.

I don't want to stand out as a threat, especially knowing that for most people their latest memory of me was my 'challenge beast' status in BBUK15, and whilst I did try my best there, I was also against a very mediocre crop of players. I want people like Vivor, who is clearly a challenge beast, to take the target away from me, and the fact that I am already sort of working with him is great, because I'll be able to hide behind him until he becomes a nuisance or I don't need him as a meatshield anymore. Since Austin hasn't replied to be for over a day, I kind of have decided to serve him up as a sacrificial lamb in case we go to tribal. With our history in Japan he has the pettiest of reasons to potentially target me, and the fact that his social game is pretty weak is enough a justification for me to cover my intentions when targetting him. I already slipped the name to Vivor, who in turn said somebody else had said Austin too, which is good, but also bad, since it means that Vivor might be closer to somebody else, probably Grace.

Andrea and Zach have both been struggling in the challenge, Andrea more so than Zach, and them together with Aro I've sort of taken under my wing to encourage them, make them feel like I've got their back, and to a degree I do. I decided to take a risk and when Andrea was getting frustrated in the tribe chat I went up to her and I told her that I've got her, and slipped Austin's name to her in a ""he hasn't been talking much"" manner, but she apparently was talking to him earlier today, and I got mixed vibes from her, which made me slightly nervous and wary of her. She admited that she is awful at challenges but good at social, so I am weighing if she is worth as an ally pre-merge. The fact that she was so honest to me gives me a positive read on her trusting me already, especially since it's pretty dumb to hand out your weaknesses in a season so diverse that none of us are none too sure what good at this game are each other. I hope I was subtle enough that neither of my light schemings get out if we win the challenge, but I just wanted to lay out a bit of a foundation today to a hypothetical tribal tomorrow since I want to go to bed shortly after the results are up."

"wanani"

- After a day of socializing with our tribes, the hosts gave us our first challenge and when I tell you I’m spooked, I’m spooked! Flash games are seriously not my thing like I’m a challenge FLOP which is why I was not a Brawn in Byzantium by any means. It scares me because if I suck at this challenge, I could very well be a first boot since pre-swap Survivor votes are dependent on social skill and challenge ability… so if you suck, you’re out. My best bet is making my tribe love me and winning their hearts because going from first place to first boot isn’t cute (‘:

"wanani"

- I completely forgot to mention that this first round has a double tribal… like damn hosts, y’all really giving the VL a dinner and a show smh ghjfdks but again, this only makes winning the challenge all the more critical! Thankfully however, I’m already in my first OFFICIAL alliance so yay for that! Dani had approached me saying that it would suck for her and I to be the scapegoats for the vote just because we suck at the challenge so she then told me if I liked Tobi to which I said yes and so did she! Eventually, we got the ball rolling and the Cawk Destoyahs was born! I honestly get super great vibes from this group of people because I feel we’re all social, fun, and could get tea from different areas and let’s just say I have my cup ready for potential tea! Mihai and I also have an alliance of sorts, plus Rob and I do as well…. So that just leaves Pory and Brian out of my “spheres of influence” so one of them leaving if we lose would be preferrable. This also helps because deadass, I have 4 people telling me idol guesses and I’m trying to find the security blanket and wrap myself around it :D

Day 3
"moya"

- "So humm, we're heading to the first tribal! Not what I was hoping, I have however made the leg work to hopefully not be first boot. I always see the early game as a way to build social capital for later on, but in the end a lot of trust is built by sticking with your allies through tribal and voting together. So this situation isn't the worst, there is some good to be had. Now in theory, I'm not going anywhere. In theory. I am at least technically allied to 5 of my 6 tribemates. Right now, Linus, Nathan and Loren are my most serious allies with Konstantinos as my back-up. Now, I do like all 4 of them and hopefully will be able to work with all of them. Drew and Devon, I just haven't clicked with them so I really don't mind if they go at this point."

"moya"

- "Welp what better time for a first confessional than the very same day of tribal? So let’s rewind a little bit to the start of the game. So I get on this beach, nervous as all FUCK. Like I am the only person in this game playing for a 4th time, and while that shouldn’t be a problem, ANYTHING can be a reason to be targeted especially this early in the season. However, it’s like the chorus of angels started just shining upon me when literal amazing human being, Drew Heuser was placed on my tribe. Drew and I have some history from tumblr and even though it has been forever since we’ve fully talked, we managed to click back up so fast, it was like we had never stopped talking in the first place. Kos is also amazing and thank god I never went to tribal with him in Last Stand of Main ORG because he still seems to have some trust in me - we love insta bonds.

And then we get to the people I’d never played with: aka, everyone else and, shockingly enough, I manage to get on well with...well all of them. Unfortunately, so far it seems like my biggest hole in terms of bonding with people is Devon, and unfortunately for Devon, it appears that - lit rally nobody on this tribe has really connected with him. Like at all. Periodt. Point blank. So I’m going to have faith that this ends up being an easy vote and people’s lack of connections with Devon leads to him leaving in a fairly unanimous/consensus kinda deal. If not...well, let’s hope I can go on break early enough tomorrow lmfaooo."

"wanani"

- "My showmance died 3 days in... Mihai is probably leaving this tribal which SUCKS because i love him and he would be super super loyal to me... but it must be done.."

"wanani"

- "Oh lordie lord fuck me. So, our tribe, pretty fuckin nice. Tobi is great, Rob seems like a nice guy, Augusto is great, Dani is nice, Brian is interesting, and then there is Mihai, the one who seems cool but doesnt talk much. And i know that being from Romania isnt an excuse bc I'm gonna give a quick shoutout to my boy Luca who is great and also from Romania. But now, we got some interesting... developments. Or, well, just one. Today is Mihais birthday. Do you know the pain of getting voted out ON YOUR BIRTHDAY? I dont haha only fucking losers get voted out on their bdays amirite hahaha. But really tho it feels bad but he had it coming I guess. We may have to crash this little bday bash with 6 votes applied directly to his forehrad but hey, could be worse, could be taken out of two orgs at once!

Meanwhile, i got the alliance of the dudes... F R I E N D. Its based off of some joke tshirt of some dude from friends lookin like a total weirdo. It is a great picture. Its me tobi rob and brian, and the four of us seem pretty tight. Sure, we didnt talk much in the chat yet, but lets face it we all knew mihai was going. His name was thrown out pre tribal and now everyone is dogpiling on him. No one wants to be first boot, and so mihai is gonna be the designated redshirt of the tribe.

As for the challenge, fuck that shit. Like, fuck.

Oh yeah, for other peeps i know who are here. Drew, who fucking ruined my game in Tibet thanks ya fuckin doogis. Loren is another orglumni, well, hes still in right now ig. Drew is also an orglumni. He got first boot lmaoooooooo. And then we have him. The legendary golden god.... Smocke

We worship the shit out of him. If jayme does edgic expect constant douple p tones because he is LEGENDARY. Like, if i make it far enough, i get to play with SMOCKE. Now, he might be a little weirded out at first. To him, we are all a bunch of freaks running our little freakshow. But like, the guy practically has his own cult he doesnt know about. Why not take advantage of that?

Anyways thats all for now see you next time after I ruin someones birthday."

"wanani"

- Confessional Day 3

"ouani"

- ANNIHILATION ROUND ONE

"ouani"

- "Heyo im finally finding time to write a conf and its prob gonna be a long one so buckle in. Its also prob gonna be hella gamebotty so sorry about that in advance, just wanna lay down an accurate roadmap here.

Lets begin with preseason. Going into this game, I knew that my distance from the community was gonna force me to make my social game POP even more than it usually does. Not only do i know less than half the cast, I also dont know anyones connections, and i myself hardly have any at all. I know Devon obviously, but he might still be sour at me for destroying his game at FTC and trying to get him out, so thats not a healthy one im gonna consider. I helped Loren out a lot in a BB game a while back when he was in the minority, which eventually led to him being able to win the game, but im pretty sure that was literally 3 or 4 years ago and he prob doesnt even remember me. I also had one music convo with Grace before, but thats nothing. Then theres the three i actually know - Nathan, Linus and Aro. Linus, dudes a snake and i really dont trust him. Like, hes a good guy but hes such an unpredictable player that it worries me. Nathan and Aro are the two that I think were just cool with each other and wouldnt do anything crazy, but Nathan is the only 4 timer here and hes on another tribe, and hes also not one to rely on connections to play a game. Aro is great, but weve never worked together and i really dont know how he is as a player. Moving on, we go into the first three days. These days were, for me, a ton of worry and paranoia over what eventually worked itself out into nothing. THe game started on a very busy 3 day span for me, and with not knowing anyone and not havign a ton of time to socialize, compared with a flash game im not good at, i genuinely thought i was toast before i could even get my feet on the ground. But through the sheer will of the lordt (aka Grace, Alex, Aro and Joan) we pulled it out and it wasnt even close. That was the biggest relief. While we thought we were going to tribal, i started kinda feeling around with everyone else and seeing where people stood in the tribe. Aro and I kinda gelled really well along with having some kind of connection, so we decided to kinda pair up to strategize and look for idols. Aro kinda mentioned to me that he things the tribe might be set up in 3 pairs - He and I, Andrea and Alex (apparently they played together in a game and were really close), and Joan and Austin because theyre both from Japan, but that one isnt as strong, leaving Grace the free agent. This was still worrying me tho, so i made sure to make bonds with everyone as best i could, and honestly, i think im in good with everyone here except one person - austin. Austin is so fuckin hard to talk to, dude. like seriously. he just keeps to himself until you message him, and he wont keep the convo goin for more than 3 messages. I thought this was just a me thing, but then aro outta nowhere messaged me and was like ""is it just me or is austin super hard to talk to?"" so that validated that hes not pulling his weight. Additionally, after voicing to Alex how glad I was that we won cause i didnt feel secure (my strat rn is to come off as pathetic and below other people, to stroke their egos and think they just got a goat), The dude just straight up says ""idk to me youve been contributing, but austin doesnt give three shits about the game and from what ive gathered other people think so too"". I mentioned that he was hard to talk to, but we should be wary if we lose again not to exclude joan due to the pair thing. Alex agreed it was a good idea, but he also said that Joan mentioned austin being distant too. So honestly, if we lose again, i see no reason why it wouldnt be a 6-1 unless people wanna split on someone. I also mentioned Joan to Alex so that we have another target after Austin that isnt me. Ideally, Id like to make a 5 person alliance with Aro, Alex, Andrea and Grace, and another, three person one with Aro and Grace. Like, Alex, Andrea and I have kinda been like ""ooh well i like you, i dont want you to go yet, etc etc"" but Aro and I have p much made an alliance, and Grace and I made a jokey deal to work together based on us sending pics of chipotle to each other and needing to both be in the game for it to work, but thats gonna be official soon. I also wanna employ a strategy I picked up in an alias game. Since Aro is my #1, if we get into an alliance, one of us is gonna be seen as the ""4th or 5th man"". That way, if the other members in the alliance get antsy and wanna blindside one of us, theyll come to the other, where we can tip each other off and work to counter it. its a way to distance the visibility of a pair, essentially.

Anyway, after all that, the moral of the story is that for the big ? and prob most unpopular player here, I think ive genuinely integrated pretty damn well and im excited to see where this game goes. I wanna make an official alliance today or tomorrow with Aro and Grace and maybe Andrea and Alex just in case a swap happens, because having a chat exist makes people much less prone to abandon their allies when push comes to shove. Im hoping that Devon goes home on the blue tribe, jsut so that theres one less thorn in my side going forward, and I genuinely dont care who goes on pink. The game is going better for me than i thought it would and thats what this is all about. Im real excited to see what i can do going forward. Thanks for casting me again! :)"

"wanani"

- "Brian - its me! here to flop again, so look forward to that Dani - she seems nice, I think she's probably a lot stronger socially than shes letting on, to me at least Pory - good but will for sure be dangerous later Mihai - going to be voted out on his birthday :( sad Rob - my fave on the tribe! a new york bish so we connected well Tobi - also seems v nice, doesnt seem to wanna give much up tho Augusto - a former winner so hes scary, but had been pretty active so far so we'll see

also me/por/rob/tobi are the f r i e n d alliance rn, we'll see how that goes"

"moya"

- "I'm so glad to be back for another chance, but I need to set the tone early on. Both Konstantinos and Loren are on my hit list to begin the game, purely based on who I think will benefit me least in the long-run.

I have Org experience with Linus and Drew, so that makes it easy for me to slide through the cracks. As for Nathan, he gives me positive vibes, so I suppose he can stick around.

I'm playing a FAR different game than last time around. I want to run the game without being caught, but getting my way in these early rounds is going to be important."

"ouani"

- So my tribe won the first immunity challenge and only tribe because the two other tribes have to go to tribal. Which is such a relief because at the moment i have talk zero game with anyone at that time, because i don’t want to go to hard on making alliance right off the bat until i get to know the people i’m with. So far Alex V is the guy i connect with the most and he talk last night and letting him know that i like to work with him. I know he’s like a massive threat, but because he’s so good in challenges and just from talking to him, he’s charming as hell. So at this point in the game i really work with him than against. Time will tell when the opportunity arises. I recently talk with Joan and we talk about how we should handle being on the same season on the same tribe and that we’ll be working together for this season at least because last time we were in opposite alliance escape for one vote and the other he screwed up in lol. Andrea is really fun to talk too so she’s someone i have in mind of working. Zach is kind of looney. Very strange individual and could be a problem later on. Aro while a nice guy he’s who i connect with the least and doesn’t seem contribute much on the tribe chat as such. As far Grace, interestingly, she’s kind of a question mark to me, she seems interested to wanting to get to know me, but we just ended up getting small talk conversation which i’m little annoyed by it. I mean she wasn’t much talkative in one ORG when i was with her and according to her Blaine & Wesley forced her to play with them. Other than that i’m just not sure. Could be strategy for all i know. So while we’re not at tribal, i just want to be myself in an alliance that i can solidify with just so i don’t get voted off in case if we do go to tribal council in the future.

- Surprise surprise, we lost! I feel like lowkey shitty about it because I had the lowest score out of the ENTIRE cast like damn, I’m really a flop nnnn…. I’m just gonna say trapping bees in bubbles is unethical and call it a day (‘: but yeah with Wanani losing immunity today and coming in last, our boot is the FIRST boot aka 21st place… that’s insane to me. It might be looking to be Mihai and I totally want it to be Brian because Mihai (my amigo <3) actually talks to me and Brian doesn’t… however, I don’t wanna be coming off too strong right out the gate. I did let my alliance know I was fine with doing Mihai but that I would’ve preferred Brian but I’m down with what they want. Dani seems to be doing a lot of the strategizing too it seems, since she’s been giving us updates on what she’s been hearing/discussing which is cool but opens my eyes a bit haha. I did also talk to Rob about wanting Brian over Mihai… and he AGREED which like yaas @me but now he is trying to get that name out there and it’s working since both Dani and Tobi want to flip over to doing Brian instead so ayyy, love that for me <3 Brian leaving would be great since he doesn’t talk to anyone and I can see a swap happening soon so him leaving before he flips would be great, plus he was seen as a major threat in both the games he was in so might as well do it. Hope it all works out tho bvmcfhdjs

"wanani"

- Mihai and I were talking and I dropped hints to him that he could potentially be targeted due to his timezone so he should try to put some blame onto Brian for not being here/talking to anyone and that also seems to be working since Rob told me Mihai talked to him and would be down for Brian. Honestly, the only person I don’t know about is Pory but that’s because I haven’t discussed any strategy with the dude which I should probably start doing nnn

"wanani"

- Rob and I were talking this morning and he spilled MAJOR tea to me that Pory and Brian had added Rob and Tobi into a four person alliance which honestly makes sense since Pory seemed to push for Mihai pretty strongly… but I’m glad Rob told me like <3 it shows that he does trust me especially since he seemed to stress the fact that I can’t tell anyone or his game would be ruined ghfjdks. It also does show me that Tobi’s social game is really snapping huh gjfdk which doesn’t shock me because the dude is amazing but yeah, him being in two alliances already…. His mind! I hope he tells me because it’ll make me a bit nervous if he doesn’t yknow? Overall, I do think that Brian is leaving regardless so god bless America!!! I did tell Rob that he should maybe tell Pory so Pory isn’t on some rampage against us at a swap but Rob said nah ghfjds so hey if Pory is pissed at Rob and Tobi but not me, I’ll gladly take it!

"wanani"

- So Tobi did end up telling me, how iconic! However, he did say he told Dani first so like scream @that but I also just need to chill lmaooo… overall, I would say this first stage of Annihilation was a success (as long as I don’t go home somehow this tribal) since the target was switched to someone I want out, I found myself in a 3 person alliance with extra allegiances on the side, I’m getting idol guesses from them, plus I am not a first boot (hopefully) so so far, so good!

"wanani"

- Also, thank you to the iconic hosts for casting me in this! I was telling Rob this morning that like I’d never see myself returning because I don’t wanna ruin like my legacy as a winner, but this is like an amazing group of people to share that journey with especially since this is my first ever FB returnee season so yeah! Shoutout to Tyler too for making me a winner to begin with xoxo, much love <3

- "So we did win that challenge, and by a pretty big margin, I was pretty shocked that the other two tribes did so poorly, disappointed even. I am REALLY grateful that I ended up stopping myself a 8k because I was nonetheless the fourth best score overall, so I am very grateful that Aro, Grace and Vivor are the ones taking the spotlight from me already. Grace definitely didn't even submit her best score, the fact that she submited early and she told me that has hinted that she is way better at challenges than she already appears to, but she's already done pretty good right off the bat so she better keep that act up.

I was really expecting for a day off, but I guess that the devil don't sleep, and here I am today working on. Austin has gotten MESSY, he tried getting into an alliance with Vivor last night, and Vivor told me that information, which has gotten me to trust him a bit. I decided to play that information to check where Andrea's head is at, and shared it with her, and from her reaction I am pretty certain that I've gotten her on my side and she isn't close to Austin after all, which is a relief. Then the plot got THICC when Austin approached me earlier tonight and has also roped me into an alliance after opently wondering if us being from the same season would put a target on us which is an AWFUL way to get me to want to work with him anyways. He spilled that he also asked Vivor for an alliance, which fact checked Vivor's claim, so that's also nice. At that moment I decided to go a step ahead and knowing that Vivor isn't playing that big of a mind games I decided to test out if him and Grace are as close as I first thought, and went to Grace and told him about Austin under the guise of ""aint this hilarious"". She did not sell out Vivor, so she either has him backed or Vivor only told me about that. Things got even more hilarious when Austin said that he wants either Grace OR Andrea to join a him-Vivor-me alliance so I just flat out told both of them to earn their trust. I feel like I might've gotten a bit sloppy with telling both Andrea or Grace, but the fact that Austin is being SO bad at gameplay might cover up for it, but overall I am happy because Austin's mess has allowed me to gain insight on both Queens.

In a completely different note, I've decided to adopt a side pet project on Aromal, after conducting an analysis on all of my tribemates on my little journal, and realised that he might be the best ally, after maybe Andrea. Grace and Vivor are both cunning players, so I think that Andrea and Aromal might be a good to counterbalance so that I don't get backstabbed. I also think that when our tribe is SO strong limiting myself to three allies will fuck me over in a swap, I don't want loose cannons like Aro or Zach to screw me over, so I do want to befriend them both, but Zach is most likely second on the chopping block after Austin, so for now I am going to try and befriend Aro. He isn't the most talkative person, but as long as I am the person he talks the most to I feel that the sense of loyalty or a bond will be there. I am keeping it lowkey, but I am nonetheless relentless, any chance I see I will take, and I feel like if this first episode is a sign of things to come, I am feeling good."
