Use this for all Ep5 thoughts. If you make it past this round, make a new episode thread for Ep6.
You need to use your journal more because you did not even update it last round. This is your final warning, no more chances, BK.

Ugh this sucks. Once again I am on the chopping block with NO Rupee Reward and a Shudra buff that smells like a piece of shit because I haven't switched tribes since the very beginning of the challenge. I mean I always try to keep a positive attitude, but it is really hard. Everyday I see these people that stay at the lap of luxury and it honestly sucks. I HATE IT. I don't mean to sound bitter, but truly I am. I know I am being such a bitch, but its just so hard to keep the emotions from coming out. I am probably viewed as a weakling to all of these people and I mean it has it advantages, but seriously FOUR TIMES, FOUR FUCKING TIMES. I just want the tribes to be flipped once. Let the others feel how it is like to be a Shudra. I mean I did get a break the past tribal due to Jordan quitting. But i really can't get over my poor performance. It is hard to keep these emotions in in the group chat. Everyone acting happy and all willy nilly and I just play along with them. Maybe at one point I will reach a breaking point but I probably won't for now. This was just a little rant. I will have a longer entry coming soon.

This is Episode #5 This is the confessional of the winner of last season. is18mexico.proboards.com/board/38/kurtisYour journal SHOULD look like this and be used as frequently, and right now you're not doing such a great job. It's unfair to the rest of the cast and the integrity of the game that you continue to do nothing, Brian. You may 'attempt' challenges but other than that you don't really do anything. Aside from talking in the Skpye chat which doesnt count as Journal activity. If this game is more than you signed up for, let me know. You are online more than enough to use this more than you currently are. If you don't know what to talk about then there is something wrong and this probably isn't the game for you. If your journal doesn't start looking like Kuris' by the end of this episode I will have no choice but to remove you from the game. Kirin has spoken to you about this on more than one occasion and the result has been absolutely nothing. Your choice.

Not that you need to make video updates, but only updating when prompted will not be tolerated anymore.

1. List your fellow castmates in order of who you trust the most, to who you trust the least. Next to each person, describe your relationship with them. It can be your relationship with them on a personal level,, a strategic level, or both. 1. Quanz: Out of all my other castaways I trust Quanz the most, he seems to be genuine on both a strategic and personal level. He is also the easiest to relate with due to the fact that we are very close in age. It's hard going through a game where you play against people who are a lot older than you, but it is nice having a person to talk to. I can see him and myself going far in the game,
2. AnimalL Over the last two rounds Animal and I have become closer. We bonded along with Quanz over being Shudra past tribal council. He is pretty strategic and I'd like to have him by my side over the next few rounds. He seems to be pretty cool in general and a guy I can rely on. He has been consoling me over these past few days, especially as this game has taken its toll on me. I need people like this with the merge probably approaching soon.
3. Woods: We talked at the beginning and have been talking a little lately. He's really encouraging on a personal level which is helpful, especially since this is my first game. He isn't afraid to stand up to people. He helped me realize eventually I need to stand up against those people I am afraid of and I have to do what I got to do to stay in the game, hopefully we can work together post merge.
4. Joe: Joe is smart and as a returning player (and winner) he has an advantage going into this game. He is strategic and smart, and knows which vote will keep him safer in the long run. He seems to down with working post merge, which is good for me because I am going to need all the numbers I can get to go against my adversaries. He tells me that he will vote with me during tribal council and I hope that is true. I can only hope.
The rest of my fellow tribemates I do not really trust in general but I will continue to rank them based on personal and strategic feelings.
5. Nax- We talked a little at the beginning but we fizzled out as we never really ended up on the same tribe. I've heard talk of him working with Ricky which makes him more untrustworthy to me. I guess only time will tell whether I can trust him more or less than I already do. 6. Brenda: With Brenda I never know, I just have heard so many different things about her and her allegiances that I have no idea where she stands right now. All I can hope is that I am not her main target and that later on we can work together to take out my target. I like her as a person, but strategically she is a puzzle to me.
7. Jermainey and Zack: They are tied at this spot right now because I truthfully have not talked a lot of strategy or personal stuff with them. Both have been associated with people I do not like in this game, so by default I do not trust them.
8. Jedda: I do not know what to think about this guy. I talked with him a lot during the beginning of the game, but not a lot has happened since then. We never really got to be on the same tribe. The reason he is so low is because I associate him with Ricky and me and Ricky do not really mix, so them together is no bueno. I feel bad voting him out at Tribal but I have to do what is best for my game.
9. Nicole: She seemed to take the brunt of the attack in the group chat a few nights ago being called Ricky's bitch, and for all I know she may be. She seems sketchy and admittedly said she will probably work with him seeing as people have already grouped them together. I just think she sided with the wrong person.
10. Brookie: She has had almost zero strategy in the game practically being carried by other people because she is a target and a shield for them. The only reason she is still in the game is because she riding Ricky's coattails and will be staying on for the ride. I cannot trust her because I know she will give any info back to her master. She is my second target after Ricky.
11. Ricky: I do not trust and never will trust Ricky. He is playing very hard which puts a target on his back and I do not want to be associated with him. I am done with everything he does, his comments on the group chat, our own personal convos, and more have just turned me off from working with him. If I had my way he'd be off this island but unfortunately I can't do that right now.
More thoughts coming later.

2. If you had your way, who would you want to see out of the game next, and why? 4-6 sentences minimum. If i had my way I'd had loved to see Ricky go home this week. As the days have gone on he has just become so annoying and its just too much to handle right now. We were working together briefly but it ended after I apparently acted to immature for him. In actuality its probably because I blabbed about his plans to a bunch of people and I think that's what pissed him off the most. I am not going to controlled by some person just because he is good at challenges and strategic. In the end it is my game and I am going to do what's better for me. This tribal I want to Jedda gone just by association, he is nice but I want to weaken Ricky and Jedda is the way to do it.

3. Lexi and Jeffy are on Redemption Cove right now. Who do you want to see win the duel tomorrow, and why? Surprisingly I would love to see Jeffy walk out of Redemption Cove unscathed. Since he was voted out so early I do not think he really had the chance to strategize, which would be perfect for me to swoop in and pick him up as an ally. I will need him once the merge hits, because of non-involvement of the game thus far. It would be great to gain his trust, that way he wouldn't see it coming when I would no longer need him. Hopefully I can live to see the day when he comes back, but if I get voted out its all or nothing in the duel. Which really isn't that much as seen by my challenge performances. All I can wish him is good luck.

At this moment I am scared shitless. My game hinges on whether the idol is used in the Shudra tribal or the Vaishya tribal. The idol can determine whether I go home or stay alive in this game. I always used to think idols, were fun and that the drama the created made a game far more interesting. But now, since they're not in my hands and instead in an enemy's I feel my own poison. Hopefully an idol is not the reason that I am voted out but you can never know.
For the past day I have been telling Jedda, that I am voting with him and Joe will be leaving. However that is far from the truth. I have decided, that it is best for my game to vote out Jedda. While Jedda and I have talked more to each other than Joe, I really believe, that I can sway Joe to my side post-merge, but with Jedda I do not know if I can trust him. He seems close to people I do not want to work with. Truly tonight it is a vote by association and in my eyes he has aligned himself with the wrong person. I hope that I do not make a mistake tonight by doing this.
In a worse case scenario. I vote Jedda, Jedda votes Joe, and Joe votes me, with no idol. This would end up in a purple rock, and I do not want that happening. I would hate to leave it up to chance for an elimination because let's face it I am not that lucky. I was tempted to switch my vote to Joe to not cause waves, but this is the game of Survivor and you have to take chances.
