Camp Life
Where did my tribe go!? Wow, this has been one odd round, that's for sure. I am beginning to notice a trend though, I seem to be the one that initiates every conversation with the other players on my tribe. Is it that other people don't really want to talk to me, or that they really just don't care? I'm beginning to think I might be on the outside of my tribe, but I sure hope not.
Blake and Charlie still haven't said more than a few words to me, and even that has only been through private messages. I don't think I've talked to Kelly at all this round, which is weird, since in the last one, she was the one I talked to the most.
Here in round three, Christa is actually the one that has kept me sane. She's online quite a bit, so at least there is someone I can talk to. Brooke is also on a lot, but talking to her is awkward as hell, I'm not sure what's going on with that.
Apparently Jaime has been having internet problems, so you better believe I was ecstatic when she finally came online this morning. We spent a lot of time catching up, and I am really glad to have her back. I did ask her about Jenna, wanting to see if she has also been contacted by her, and she has indeed. So it seems that Jenna really did send out a mass message to all of the players, trying to see if anyone would respond.
I wonder if the rest of Purago realize that Jenna has been "spreading her wings", talking privately to pretty much everyone? As I said in my last confessional, I have every intention of keeping in close contact with Jenna, regardless of the fact that I'm just one of several she's reeling in, but I may need her in the future.
As of right now, I am still not in an official alliance with anyone else. This has made me a bit nervous and paranoid, but I don't want to make any promises I can't keep in case of a brutal tribal mix-up.
Challenge
I can honestly say, for a while there I thought my tribe was intentionally losing this Challenge. Since I was going to be late, I thought I would do the right thing and let everyone know, so they could plan around the fact that I wasn't going to be there. When I finally got home, I quickly read through the Challenge, and was bummed to see that it was indeed another race type game. Then, when I looked at our tribe board, I was downright pissed that no one had even STARTED the damn thing.
Christa made some nonsense post about wanting to "talk about" who was going to do which step...it's a race people! I looked at the profiles of my tribe mates, and pretty much every one of them had been online since the challenge was posted, and yet nobody bothered to start making our flag.
After figuring out how to get an image from my computer to the website (thanks Boston Rob!), I went ahead and did the first step, and since Brooke was also online at the time, I asked her to do the second part. She said that was fine, and then hours later, she still hadn't done it. Finally, Christa ended up doing step two, and then the challenge was over.
Needless to say, I was frustrated.
Tribal Council
Since Jaime and Ibrehem were the only players not to vote in the last round, you can bet your butt I'm nervous that Jaime may get eliminated tonight. I have tried talking to as many of my tribemates as possible, getting the target moved to someone else.
Brooke of all people suggested voting for Blake, which is actually who I'd like to see go, so I quickly agreed. I sent a private message to Charlie, and he seems to be in agreement voting for Blake as well. Jaime and Christa have also said they will vote for him, so I think we'll easily have a majority vote.
I've been pretty good at predicting the other tribes' votes so far, but I really have no idea what Kalin is going to do this time around. The first couple of votes seem to have been based on Challenge performance, but since this last challenge took place on our tribe boards, I'm not sure which of their players lost it for them. I think that Aras and Rob are probably the safest in their tribe, and if I had to venture a guess, I'd say they are eliminating either James or Ethan. Hell, I don't know.
General Thoughts
I hope I'm doing this confessional thing right, because I'm going to feel really silly after this game is over and people wonder what the heck I was talking about in these entries. I'm basically just trying to summarize everything that has happened, and what's on my mind.
Writing in these things has actually helped me keep things straight as well. Sometimes I forget about little details, but if I can record them in here, then I can go back to it for reference whenever I need it.
Overall, I am really having fun with Online Survivor, I just wish the rest of my tribe was into it as much as I am. I do feel bad for Kalin, having gone to Tribal Council every round so far, but honestly, I think Tomonaka is more of a mess than either of the other two tribes. I sure hope we can pull together, because if not, we're going to crumble.
Oh, and completely off the subject, I wonder what the heck the Production Camp is for?
