Post by Joel - Voted Out 10th on Sept 28, 2011 16:31:17 GMT -5
What are my first-round impressions of my tribe? Well I've only gotten to talk to about three or four of them but overall they seem OK... Devon is hilarious 'and' creepy at the same time. xD What normal person flat out says in a casual conversation that they're basically being horny as fuck? Haha.
Joshua and I go back. He's someone who trusts me without a doubt and treasures friendships like a fat guy does chocolate. Erm... mean analogy but you get what I mean! Overall I haven't formed any alliances yet but if I was to do anything, well, Noah may be a good temporary option so I can get my footing and develop relationships where I can. After-all no doubt in my mind he's going to be doing whatever he can to gain power within the tribe, having the status & target on his back of being a veteran and what not.

Sheri, Brian, Joshua, and myself got together in a chat on AIM to discuss the challenge & flag, throwing ideas back and forth and hopefully establishing what we are going to do with it. The real highlight of the conversation though came with this:
Now I know Josh will uphold this deal, so will Sheri. Brian, however?
Hm... that's a toughie, just got to play cool and continue to be all friendly with him. Easy to do, we're getting along pretty nice at the moment. So hopefully if we 'do' go to tribal we can stick together through it and vote say... Johnna out since the girl doesn't understand the concept of logging onto AIM, and through our tribal experience decide to stick together for the long run.
My paranoia is shooting up like you wouldn't believe. I don't want a repeat of Survivor Offensive 4 where I got voted out first, that'd just be humiliating and especially with people who I know and am close to (ex: Justin, Kirin, Tim) watching.

So we lost the Immunity Challenge. The judges didn't seem to really like our tribe flag which is fine, it didn't matter to me whether we win or lose because I feel I contributed enough to the challenge to avoid being considered a target.
I am pretty confident that Johnna will be the target, I'm already trying to plant the seed with Totte who is worried about being voted out due to a trip tomorrow that will render her inactive (I'm guessing) until Sunday. Hm... potential fuel just in case I get bad vibes.
I'm really not below throwing people even as nice as her under the bus if it means extending my lifespan in the game. That's the point... it's a game, peoples' feelings are going to get hurt regardless. I'm pretty much emotionally prepared to deal with any whining, bitching, anger, or frustration that comes my way whether it's this round or a couple rounds later.
So yeah, I am assuming Johnna is the target. I'll be checking around with my tribemates to confirm this. So freaking tired at the moment though so time to take a nap, haha...

Oh to see how much goes on when you're asleep is amazing. So many names have come up; Noah, Johnna, Devon... according to Sebastian, Noah has been going around being a lil' sneak. Take a look for yourself: Noah did in fact get the Loki Scroll or whatever from the other tribe so whatever puts a damper on their parade, I'll be more than happy to do it. I seriously want to see the other tribe squirm in their pants and realize not to fuck with us, seriously. :X You may be thinking; "Holy crap this Joel guy is a dick, he's being all negative and shit about everything." Well coming into this game I decided that I am not going to baby around like I usually do and be the pure nice guy everyone expects me to be. Due to people's perception of me I figured hey, it'd be easy to get away with stuff while still smiling in their faces. Might as well roll with it. I am also solidifying an actual alliance between myself, Brian, Joshua, and Sheri, Sheri being the only only one I have not talked to yet. Here's a bit of that conversation: See? Nice guy on the outside, evil lil' imp on the inside.  I also haven't forgotten the conversation I had with Totte/Tommy. If I get any sort of bad vibes and think the vote may come my way this or next tribal, I'll use that conversation as blackmail to make them hopefully reconsider their choice. All in all I feel pretty comfortable with this tribal, there's no legit reason to vote for me so I feel pretty safe. You never know though; like Big Brother, Survivor is prone to unexpected twists and outcomes, so until the votes are read I won't feel '100%' safe. |
