Episode 2: You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side

ANOTHER VET BITES THE DUST

DAY 4

... ... ;D ... ...

Wow, Kalsoy gave Noah the boot, which was a nice shock. Nice for us on Skorin because Noah is a challenge threat, and they just lost a strong member of their team. I knew the vets would be targets, but damm Kalsoy must think that they didn't need him for challenges. I wonder if it was because we gave him the cursed loki scroll... if so then we sealed his fate. BAM! Hopefully Skorin can keep this awesome momentum going and keep winning.

EDIT: Rob said Noah didn't recieve the scroll before he was vote off so he wasn't booted because of our decision. I guess the tribe did that on their own.

Things are started to look better and better for me as the days go boy. I have my boy Ryan, whom we both trust each other with our lives in this game, and also my relationshp with Brittany is growing as well. Before I even had the chance to bring up we should work together, she told me that I am the closest person to her one this tribe and that she has my back. Hellz yeah! Britti I love you girl! ♥

Close ally that I trust 100% ---> CHECK!
Strong Veteran in my pocket ---> CHECK!

Next on my shopping list is to use these strong relationships to build a solid alliance and add numbers to the group so we have the numbers, so by tribal council time, my sweet ass won't be sent home. I'm working on Brittany whom I know for a fact will side with us in the voting and Ryan is working on Sharonica... then we just need to find a fifth vote for majority. Sometimes this can be a difficult proccess because if you rush this, it will backfire on you. But we have to make sure we have our basis covered by the time we loose an immunity challenge.

Survivor game is a social game... it doesn't matter how big of a bad ass you are or if your a challenge whore. You're gonna need someone on your side at the end of the day.

PM sent to Ryan from me:

"Hey man, didnt see you on last night so I thought I would give you a little update. I had a really good convo last night with brittany, I'll be on tonight to give you the details, but it looks good for us, I think she will vote with us and she too mentioned about having trouble connecting with certain people on our tribe. I didn't even bring t up lol"

His response to me:

"Awesome ;D Thanks for giving me an update. I haven't really been able to catch Sharonica online much, but we still have a few days to get things in order. In the meantime just from talking to other people I think Kelman might have spoken to me more than anybody else on the tribe so I'm going to see if we can bank on that for a 5th vote in case we ever need it "

---

I hope we win this next immunity challenge again... things are still trying to fall in order to ensure we have the numbers in the vote. If we loose the next immunity it might be a mess trying to figure everything out. Ryan mentioned in the PM that he thinks he can sway Kelman to vote our way but A.) I don't trust Kelman at all and B.) I thought he might be an easy vote if we loose.

So... yeah we still have a lot to figure out. Lets' hope Skorin to get another win, haha. Plus we won't have to deal with getting a scroll. That would be a bitch. Life will just be easy for us if we just win tomorrow.

MY LIPS ARE SEALED

DAY 5

So before I starting writing this confessional like a bazillion thoughts were going through my mind. And now I can’t really sum them up into words but I’ll try… who am I to subject you all from my thoughts? That would be cruel.

I learned a very interesting secret last night. It was just like any normal night in the Faroe Islands, well I guess as normal as normal can get. I was just chatting with Ryan about normal stuff like we usually do and then he tells me that he has something he wants to get off his chest.

Ok… nothing out of the ordinary. Ryan is pretty open with me.

He then goes on to say that by revealing this information could hurt him in the game, but he trusts me with this kind of information.

Then I start to worry. Did he hear a plot to take me out? And he doesn’t want to risk people finding out that he is telling me this? This doesn’t sound like good news.

I ask him if it’s bad news for me. He then goes on saying that it won’t hurt me, but he wants to tell me a secret he has been keeping but he wants to be honest with me and have no secrets between us.

By this time I am freaking out. Lots of scenarios of what this could be are running through my mind. Is Ryan not who he says he is? Does he have a secret partner in the game? Is he a Russian spy trying to infiltrate us by pretending to play ORGs to see how our minds work here? I was expecting anything and everything… except for what he told me.


*pause for dramatic suspense*


Ryan’s boyfriend is SANDY. Yes, THE Sandy. Sandy… as in our host of iSurv1vor.

I was speechless. Not because it was a bad thing, it’s just that’s the last thing I would have guessed. Ryan went on to ensure me that he is not favored and treated like any other contestant playing. I told him that thought never crossed my mind. He told me that he wanted to tell me this before the cat was let out of the bag, because he thinks that the other tribe might know, because of Sebastian’s comment he made the other day. He didn’t tell people right away because he wanted people to get to know him as just Ryan, not Sandy’s boyfriend which I completely understand. He would for sure get hardcore judged if that’s one the first things that people found out about him. I reassured him that I have no problem with this, and that it meant a lot to me that he would share this vital information about him. It makes me trust him even more, plus I wouldn’t gain anything if I told anyone. It would probably hurt him, therefore hurting me as well. So therefore my lips are sealed, and his secret is safe with me.

-Please read this, because I only want to address this once -
I know people might have a problem with this when they first find out. They will probably say it’s an unfair advantage in having your boyfriend as the host, but that allegation is such bull. If they have a problem with it, then that means they have no faith and trust in Sandy being the host. And if you don’t trust the host, then why did you devote your time in a game when you think the host is purposely trying to be “unfair”? This series has been going strong for over 5 years built on honestly and hard work thanks to our host. So I have 100 percent faith that nothing shady is going down behind the scenes. And if anybody doubts that, they should GET THE FUCK OUT!

Sorry just had to get that off my chest just in case if some does complain in the future, I have already said my peace with the matter. Now I’m moving on. We have an immunity challenge to win!

AND SO THE WAIT BEGINS...

DAY 6

I don't want to be over confident, but WOW did we rock it out last night finding some pretty decent size words (well mostly Tony, he is Skorin's All Star this round). I don't like to count my chickens before they hatch but after all our words were found I tried to find words that could bet them, and I had the hardest time so here is hoping the other tribe didn't as well.

Will Skorin be 2 for 2? Well I for one is hoping we can pull off another win because I may be in trouble if we go to tribal council. I feel like I am in a better spot than I was a few days ago within my tribe but I still can't seem to connect with a few people on my tribe - IDK what the problem is - either they don't care to make the effort or what. I just need to hold on to my strong relationships with Ryan and Britti and hope that's enough to save me for right now.
I'm nervous... I just hope we can win.
