Camp Life
Life hasn't changed much since round one, but there are a few minor updates. I sent Blake and Charlie private messages, hoping to at least hear something from them in this game. I only received a reply from Charlie; he didn't say much, but at least I got his AIM screen name. Hopefully I'll see him pop online sometime soon and I can formally meet the guy.
I did have another conversation with Brooke, but it was mainly talking strategy about the challenge. It was still quite awkward carrying on a conversation with her, but at least we could communicate.
Kelly is sending me some weird vibes. I'm beginning to think she may be lying about her identity. The thing that tipped me off is she told me she was a girl, and yet her profile on the site shows her as a male. It could easily be a simple mistake, but the casual conversation I had with her about it raised a few more questions. Here's a bit of the chat we had:
So here's what I'm wondering...
I didn't ask her any of these questions of course, but I am going to indirectly get answers as soon as I can. I need to be able to trust my team mates, and I'm already getting some red flags. Chances are that I'm just being a little paranoid, but I can't help but wonder what's really going on with Kelly.
Jaime and Christa, on the other hand, are all aces in my book. Every time I talk to them, I trust them more, learn a little more about them, and just have some genuinely nice conversations. I have yet to talk about an actual "alliance" with either of them, but I'm sure it'll come up soon. If I had to pick which one of these girls I trusted the most at this point, I'd probably say Jaime. She's one awesome lady. ;D
Challenge
This Immunity Challenge was designed to make us fail, HaHa. I knew before the first post was made that we didn't have a chance at winning. Since we are the only tribe that hasn't eliminated a player yet, we were bound to be last place in the disk smashing game.
Knowing this was a bit frustrating on the one hand, but also a bit liberating. When you know you can't win, you can use a bit more strategy than all out brute force. I decided to send a subtle message to Purago by never once smashing one of their disks. I never made this an obvious choice in the challenge, but hopefully a couple of the girls got the message that I was not targeting them.
Tribal Council
There's not much to say about this. I've made it pretty clear that Ibrehem is worthless, and everyone else is in agreement, he's got to go. Hell, he probably won't even cast a vote.
I am pretty happy with myself that I managed to guess who the other tribes were voting off in the last round, at least I have some idea about what's going on in Majuro! This round is a little more tricky though, but if I had to guess, I'd say Kalin is voting out either James or John.
General Thoughts
Earlier in my post, I mentioned wanting to send the Purago girls a message that I am not targeting them, but I didn't really explain why. The reason is simple really, I get a better vibe from Purago than from Kalin. Maybe it's all because they are quite attractive girls, who knows!
One reason I can say for sure though is that Jenna and I have been sending private messages to each other since day one. I now know for a fact she is doing the same thing with other players as well, but if she is placing herself as a social melting pot, I definitely want to be one of the players that has a connection with her. Obviously I don't trust her, but if I throw her a bone every now and then, maybe she'll keep me as a potential ally in the future.
In her most recent message, Jenna flat out asked me who I was voting for, and she implied it might be Blake. Now I may be new to this game and all that, but I know that everyone in this game has got to be 99% sure we are eliminating Ibrehem. My guess is she intentionally asked about Blake to see whether or not I would admit to my real vote, which of course, I did. Telling her I am voting for Ibrehem is harmless, so I figured I might as well "pass" her silly little test by being open and honest.
Aside from Jenna on Purago, I'm also keeping a close eye on Eliza and Parvati. I don't know why, but I get the feeling they may come in handy later on. I'm not going to make any moves with them yet, but it's a definite possibility later on.

Ozzy (9:40:33 PM): you might want to fix your profile on the board, it says you're a dude lol
Ozzy (9:40:52 PM): so unless you're the bearded lady, you might wanna change it :-)
Kelly (9:40:58 PM): lol no im not
Kelly (9:41:04 PM): i have it to decieve ppl lol
Kelly (9:41:07 PM): some of my friends are playing
Ozzy (9:41:09 PM): ooh lmao
Kelly (9:41:11 PM): and i dont want them to know
Ozzy (9:40:52 PM): so unless you're the bearded lady, you might wanna change it :-)
Kelly (9:40:58 PM): lol no im not
Kelly (9:41:04 PM): i have it to decieve ppl lol
Kelly (9:41:07 PM): some of my friends are playing
Ozzy (9:41:09 PM): ooh lmao
Kelly (9:41:11 PM): and i dont want them to know
So here's what I'm wondering...
- Why would she be so blunt about wanting to "deceive people"?
- Exactly how many friends does she have in this game, and who are they?
- Why is she trying to hide her identity from her friends, but not from me?
I didn't ask her any of these questions of course, but I am going to indirectly get answers as soon as I can. I need to be able to trust my team mates, and I'm already getting some red flags.
