Explanation of the title of the confessional will follow, I promise.
First of all, let's play some catch up. So I was panicking panicking panicking last round for the Immunity Challenge because I had a friend visiting from Texas, so I thought I would be a bit too busy to make the challenge. But thankfully the friends I was hanging out with were all ORGers (but srsly, what has my life come to), so when I was like, "GUISE I HAVE A CHALLENGE AT 7", they were like, "whatever, good luck, yolo". I was invited to a chat with Fei, Ricky, Nicole, Jermaine, Brenda, and David (Nax) who were all, "LET'S SHARE ANSWERS". Too bad I was running around trying to get a laptop so I can do the actual challenge.
Anyway, I manage to start the challenge 15 mins late, and I'm doing okay, but then I hit the round with MOTHERFUCKING JIM LYNCH. SERIOUSLY. I HATE JIM LYNCH AND HIS STUPID SLING. I spent so.much.time trying to find a picture of him with his sling, which isn't even a real sling but a janky ass thing where he tucked his arm in his shirt. So I waste a lot of time finding a picture only to have BROOKIE of all people post the same picture 4 mins before dsjfksldjfhsdkjfhsdlkfj. Thankfully, as mentioned before, my friends are Survivor nerds, and one of the guys whose apartment we were hanging out at HAD SURVIVOR: GUATEMALA AT THEIR HOME. I whipped that DVD out and tried a screenshot on my laptop. But guess what. You can't screenshot a DVD on Macbook apparently. TWIST.
SERIOUSLY??

So I have to resort to taking a picture of the screen with my phone and uploading that omg. At that point, I was flustered over JIM LYNCH OF ALL PEOPLE and worried that I'd fallen too far behind. But people were also being idiots and didn't read the rules that you can't post the same pictures as others, so I knew there was a chance I could at least make the middle caste. Finished the challenges by taking answer 17 thru 20 from the Skype chat (thanks y'all).
When results were tallied, I somehow made it to the top caste LOLZ. Even though I finished like an hour behind some people LOLOLOL. But whatever, I somehow stumbled into Immunity for the first round, long weave, won't grieve.
The middle caste consisted of a majority of the people I was "working with" during the IC, and the lower caste had Zack <3. I thought Brookie was gone for sure, but David brought up possibly eliminating Jeffy, which I was like whatever. I was super busy the last couple of days so I couldn't really talk strategy with anyone. But thankfully I had Fei to update me.
Some alliances in the game according to Fei:
Me/Fei (duh)
Tengaged alliance: Brookie/Jeffy/Lexi (invited Fei. But Jeffy was voted out oops)
Woods/Animal/Aaron/Zack/Fei (Fei called this a "pseudo thing". Apparently Woods is super jelly of Animal)
Seven Deadly Sins: me/Fei/Ricky/Nicole/David/Jermaine/Brenda (LOL I WAS NOT ASKED IF I WANTED TO BE A PART OF THIS ALLIANCE. People seemed really into this but ehhh I'm super shady about it. I like these people personally, especially Fei and Nicole, but I dunno if I want to play with them)
Offensive alliance: me/Fei/Joe/Aaron (LOL ONCE AGAIN, I WAS NOT ASKED IF I WANTED TO BE A PART OF THIS ALLIANCE. Obvious alliance is obvious. I don't trust Joe and Aaron in a strategic sense).
I will admit to dropping the ball a bit socially this round since I was busy with friends and work, but I've been drawn into a few alliance with me knowing (lolz ~strategic mastermind~ right here). Fei's been a huge help, and she's obviously a huge social player. I won't be able to sit next to her in the end if I want to win, but I need her on my side since she's the huge connection in all of this.
The person I like the most after Fei is Zack. We connect well and have fun chats, but I'm worried that he didn't tell me about the alliance with him and Woods, Animals, etc. But to be fair, we haven't really talked strategy. In fact, I haven't really talked strategy or actively made alliance with anyone except Fei. Ugh, that's gonna have to change.
For now, my strategy is to do well in these challenges to avoid going to Tribal Council. I'd be content with riding Immunity wins until the caste system is abolished. Meanwhile, continue to build solid relationships with people left in the game, and make a few choice alliances that I think will help me. I'm looking to work with Fei, Zack, and Nicole for now. I think the best path will be to take the middle road without taking a side for as long as possible.
Apparently there was #picgate when Nax posted a screenshot of Jim Lynch (srsly, for being the first boot, Jim Lynch sure is a source of a lot of trouble) that had the SDS chat up, and people are talking about it. I don't think I'd be the first target from the group as long as I keep up socially with everyone (which is getting easier as people dwindle down).
It looks like the next challenge will be Snapshot, which will be great since I tend to do okay in them and the challenge is usually a fun conversation starter with people. So we'll see how I do.
SORRY FOR WRITING SO MUCH. I write long ass confessionals. Maybe I'll do a video next time...
