Ok no need to sass me anymore bitches, I'm getting to it alright.
So let's get started shall we.
The story to date:
Bitches get busy, and this bitch was no different, and plus the favourites tribe was more than boring for the past few rounds so I haven't really been making confessionals.
The Laela vote went fully as planned, everyone voted as they were supposed to and everything really went off well. This vote secured quite a few things in the group that really I had no intention on securing in the least bit, but still did nonetheless. I put forth the idea of having a majority within our happy-go-lucky family of favourites, with no real intent on following through with it. So Gloria, oh our darling Gloria, went to Steph and told her that I wanted to align with her, and then Gloria had me go ask Steph if we could make the alliance, and it was really cute, and stuff because they all treat me like I'm 12 which is nothing new, but hey at least I'm one year older than Luca, right? It was all really cute though, we formulated a cute little majority alliance within the favourites, even though I'm sure there are more than a few already in there that I'm not a part of - which sickens me.
So the initial plan was for this little majority to be myself, Steph, Gloria, Tina, and Selena. I know this is a bad idea from the start, because first of all no one takes Tina seriously as a player. And second of all, people still hold grudges against Gloria and the game that she played last round. Third of all, Steph is the most underrated player of all time and I don't trust a single thing she says or does. And lastly, Selena is not dumb in the least bit. Now, I can address each of those issues separately, but really the only ones that really matter are Steph and Selena.
It's clear that Steph is, at least in her own way, running the game a bit, no one's really been around in the sense to question her in the least bit about her motives, but if this game goes the same way as the last game goes, people will realize this quick and take her out early merge. That is if she gets to early merge - which in it's own way is almost doubtful. However - she seems to have so many people up her sleeve and can easily manipulate them to her will and no one seems to notice, or if they notice, no one is saying any different.
Selena on the other hand, has completely fucked herself over in trust with the others. Which is quite nice, had the tribes stayed the same she would have been next boot no questions asked, and she wouldn't have a vote to even try and defend herself. She was one of the issues with the Laela vote, and there were only two issues with that vote. Selena went and told Laela that she was leaving. I mean ultimately Laela was completely and utterly fucked no matter what but the fact that Selena told her she was going was a little bit iffy to me. We all suspected that Laela had an idol (even though that's not the case at all and I know that)
My only other issue with the Laela vote was that I had a vote, I do not like that at all, I still haven't figured out whether or not that was Laela, or if that was Zoe, but in the end I don't think it really matters all that much. It was a single vote, not like I won't be getting tons of those in the future. We all know I get blindsided all the time, jesus christ.
Did it make anyone else lol that she gave up her all-star spot and she was the first eliminated in the favourites tribe, cause it sure makes me lol. I know you can't answer this, but just give a silent nod of appreciation and get over it.
Ok but seriously though, nothing was going on on the favourites tribe, I mean I could go through my opinions on everyone but it would all be basically the same thing, because no one's been around, and everyone's been virtually busy so like what can we do about that.
We dominated challenges, as we always do, and no one had any reason to be on. For christ sake, I think I talked to Carly and Liam like maybe once throughout the entirety of the past week not that it mattered all the much.
Anyways - the creative challenge happened, and we lost, and that was no surprise, cause everyone was busy, and everyone had a life and didn't want to participate in it, plus we're all shit at photoshop, like I'm pretty sure Tina is the only one who is good at photoshop and lab is literally taking over her life, I mean, I'm 90% sure she has more posts than Paul does for god sake. That's not supposed to happen.
Whatever, we went to tribal, and it was an obvious vote, Zoe hadn't even been on the forum for a solid 48 hours prior to the vote, and randomly came on the vote, which killed me honestly, what a weird girl. She's always online on AIM, but never actually answers anyone, if I didn't know better I think she might be dead, someone might actually want to go check in on that, because like shit yo.
But I shouldn't lie, I don't think it was an obvious vote, there was a lot of discussion prior to judgement going up. Everyone knew we were going to lose it, and we needed to go into a judgement anyways to trim the fat before going into a swap situation, which we assumed would be coming at this point.
Actually the assumption was that it would be a double tribal council and then a swap, so kudos Justin to doing something totally and completely unexpected, super cool twist actually.
There was a lot of discussion. Gloria and I talked a lot, so did Steph and I, Ben and I, who are basically the only people ever online to discuss this sort of thing anyways, which is pretty funny.
Have I mentioned that I don't really trust Steph? Cause I really don't.
But no, we all discussed a lot the possibilities of taking Selena out, in fact it was strongly favoured by Gloria that we do that, take Selena out. We were all thinking about a possible swap situation and going into it with Selena was NOT A GOOD IDEA. And we all know she was idol hunting like crazy, why wouldn't she be. Gloria has the first one, and I think Thiago has the second one, but still it was possible that Selena had an idol, and she would flip as she was an outcast at the time on the tribe.
I mean, realistically, I think it would be a poor decision to do that, Steph and I were on the exact same mindset that Selena is so far off the group right now that she's prime for the picking if there were any moves to be made, she's so swayable at the moment that anyone can take her and make a big move. Which is why I'm hoping someone good gets out on the favourites tribe this time, because that would be excellent. Hopefully Steph uses Selena, Except Selena can't vote cause she played that damn immunity idol ugh.
Clearly I'm thinking this all through as I'm typing and this literally has no organization at all, sorry Chase, I know that will annoy you boo,
The loss of the challenge was bound to happen anyways, so I think we were all ready. Gloria got really really nervous about the vote, like to the point of stupidity, but I guess it made sense no one was saying anything, to the point that I was waiting until people would tell me if it was Zoe or not.
I mean clearly it was, that's what we'd all laid out, but no one was around to talk.
This is when I got really really wary of Steph, when I talked to her about the vote, she already had Taylor, Liam, Carly, and Ben all locked down on Zoe as a vote. I hadn't even talked to any of them that day. I need to start using the PM system more so, I've never really used it in a game, but everyone seems to love it in this series, I don't know, I don't get it. Sigh. I'll get there.
She clearly has everyone wrapped around her finger and this is extremely dangerous if I plan on moving forward in this game which I do. But besides that the Zoe vote went on as planned, honestly.
I don't know if there really was more going on, but the favourites tribe was ultimately really boring of a place.
There you go, part one of this confessional updated to this round.

Now finally into this round.
I can't say that I'm wholly proud with how this round might turn out, and most of you will probably hate me for the actions that are going to take place, and they way I act, but you know what, this is my issue and I'll deal with it as I please.
As I said in my last post if you actually took the time to read it, I've been fairly worried about Steph on the favourites tribe. Which is completely reasonable, so for the past few days I've actually been thinking about my placement in the tribe. I mean, that's the best way to go about it I think, my weakness always seems to be that I think that I'm in control or that I'm completely safe, and because of that I end up completely fucked and screw myself in the end.
So, it was time to think this through quite a bit. Selena was the next target had I stayed, at least that's what was going around. With her immunity necklace played last round, she didn't have a vote, and she would have probably been gone, but I honestly don't think that's the case at all.
I was talking to Steph and she really doesn't like Taylor, she thinks he's too UTR and too much of a swing vote. This is an issue because I like Taylor, I don't think he's going to make it to merge though. Steph is after him. Taylor and I have a sort of deal, he's a fairly busy guy so he doesn't actually come on AIM that much, but when he does, him and I are fairly close as people. I feel like without Henry in this series he doesn't really have anyone to latch on to him, I like him well enough. I don't extremely trust him but we have a nice thing going.
Steph wants him gone. And I think he'll leave this round because of it, unless he wins immunity, which I'm really doubtful he's not the most active person on the planet.
Anyways - I was thinking about my placement on the tribe, and where everyone seems to be in regards, from the outside perspective. Clearly Steph knows that Gloria Tina and I are pretty close, and Tina is more or less a non-entity most of the time, and Gloria is more or less just loyal to whoever and sticks with it, which is basically why she got fucked over in the end last time, trying to stick with Napa.
I figure I'm at the bottom of the list then. The favourites boot order had there been no swap more or less would have been.
STEPH
BEN
LIAM
CARLY
GLORIA
TINA
BEAU
CHAD
TAYLOR
SELENA
That doesn't sit well with me at all. I want to do well this game, I want to be at least in the god damn fucking jury for once. And Chad's jury vote doesn't really count initially, because A) I didn't actually ask any relevant questions B) I just voted for Annie cause lol Cameron would have killed me if I didn't.
So I need this, I really do, to at least prove myself in some fashion that I'm not just this dumb ass fucking seventeen-year old who can't get past pre-jury ever. I refuse to be on the losing side again. It's stupid.
I wasn't initially going to take the sacrifice, because I thought it would be a switch, and that the three people who went to the fans would ultimately be royally fucked up the ass, but that really made no sense at all, because I don't think that would be a reasonable twist, and I was talking to Gloria, and we were both discussing it, with the possibility of changing, I don't know if Gloria also realized that we were more or less at the bottom, but it was discussion that was still going on, well,
GOD, WE NEED TO LOCK TINA UP AND TELL HER TO STOP.
Tina, being Tina Goddess of All Skanks, decided to straight up sacrifice herself with no decision for strategy at all. There was really probably no thought going into it at all, so I don't know why she decided to do that at all. I think maybe it was just for fun, because the favourites have been more or less boring, I feel bad for you guys having to read it all. But still, she chose to do it. And Tina IS currently one of my two main allies, including Gloria.
So Gloria and I started discussing really quick, and she decided to go. I don't know there were pros and cons to the decision here. One of the main cons, is that by being the third person to sacrifice, it's clear that Gloria, Tina and I are pretty close, there is no denying it whatsoever, but at least we could have lied if all three of us hadn't sacrificed.
I think the borders are more or less decided as of now and are more clear within the favourites. And that's pretty dangerous in itself. Making the lines clear wasn't really my intentions, as I really like trying to love everyone and peace and harmony and all of that.
But Gloria and Tina are my two main allies, so really, in hindsight, I really had to sacrifice. There was no other option for me.
I find it funny how literally everyone tried to take that damned apple, before I even got the chance, it was gone. My favourite was Steph on the favourites tribe chat telling everyone to not take it, but it was literally gone within seconds, nice try boo though, well done. You probably would have won tribal immunity.
The apple was meant to be taken, no one would not take it, it's kind of obvious. I'm glad three people are leaving we can trim the fat just a little bit more from the people that don't need to be here.
If anything I was pretty pleased with Farrago as a tribe initially. They all seemed more or less, and there's no one from the favourites that I would rather be on a tribe with than with Glo and Tina. We had our little tribe side chat saying what we needed to do, find and expose their weak link and such.
I will admit this is when my gameplay turned to more than shit than usual, and you can all bitch at me later for this.
Initially we were all pretty happy go lucky, tribe meeting and stuff like that but that kind of ruined itself pretty quickly.
I really like Thiago, and I was talking to him and I really liked him too, especially because he wasn't playing a character which I found to be more than annoying in so many ways. He actually said that almost all the fans are playing characters, and if that's that case then I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself, because puke my guts out that is so fucking annoying. I don't like people who plays characters it takes away from their overall gameplay and makes it not fun for anyone.
Anyways, Thiago is really charming and funny, and very good socially, which basically makes him the most dangerous player on this tribe. Tina is completely enthralled by him and loves him to death and has told me so on multiple occasions, and I feel the same way about him.
He actually draws you into a conversation which is very very nice in this game, so if you ever read this Thiago, major props man, well done. However - this is distressing. Gloria already doesn't like him, for some odd reason, I don't know if it's that Gloria knows him and doesn't like him, but let's be real here who doesn't Gloria hate? She thinks that Thiago has an idol, which is all good and dandy however, she has one too.
So I know that Thiago is a target - and a hard one to get at that, he's charming and doesn't seem to need to get his hands dirty. He's actually probably the person I've talked most to in this game which is really nice, besides maybe Gloria and Ben. Who I talk to semi-regularly.
I had to message him myself - how rude, you'd think he'd at least make the effort to contact me first as Starr and Bree did, but non. He decided to be a fruit, and let me come to him, ugh, people these days, what can you do.
As I said Bree came to me first - now I've been curious about Bree since the start of the game, mainly because of her whole French thing. There are so many language esque characters this season that I thought she might be interesting to talk to. But not really, at first. Because of this whole french thing I found it completely ridiculous and pointless to talk to her, especially in English.
As many of you might not know, I speak French fluently myself, and Quincy and I speak it together when we actually talk. So I decided - hey, if Bree is french, why not just talk to her in French like Quincy and I do. And to say the least, her French is very bad. Now I know she claims to be from Quebec - and there's a thing or two I could say about Quebec french, but no one I know is literally this bad at grammar in french even if they are, Some fine examples from Bree's extensive knowledge of french below. If you understand french, this will kill you.
So I basically straight up asked her if she was using it as a character thing, or if she was actually french to which she replied that she was actually french.
I SMELL BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT.
So of course, I immediately told Gloria and Tina that she's using google translate, and to not buy in just yet to whatever act she's pulling - which is dumb move number one. If anything I should have used this knowledge to gain a one up on Bree, but Bree seemed convinced regardless that she was the next target on her tribe. I've learned not to believe this in a swap situation. Anyone who has any knowledge about any survivor game knows that that is the ultimate "I'm trying to gain information about your tribe" crap. So I wouldn't give it to her.
Suddenly though. Bree broke her french accent and spoke normal to me ! Oh, hallelujah. And that's when things started rolling between Bree and I as people, especially because through this I found out who she was.
And this is where you guys are going to start hating me, and I'm sorry, I know you guys really hate alias games, and playing with them.
Anyways - it's Andy. And Andy and I aren't the closest of human beings on the planet but he's helped me out more than enough in the past couple months that I would deem us on friendship level. Actually, I wouldn't trust Andy in the slightest bit, I'm really not all that dumb when it comes to his past in games in such, but the fact of who he is comes very strongly into play when considering what's going to happen next in the game.
Which is Starr.
Initially, right off the bat I kind of liked Starr, she had a sassy, almost familiar way of talking and writing that I recognized but couldn't put my finger on. She's also playing a massive character with her whole LOL ... jk kind of attitude, which is actually almost a bearable way to play a character in the game, especially considering the way she seems to be playing.
She messaged me first, which was nice to me, I highly appreciated the sentiment, and the fact that I didn't really have to put any effort into her. We didn't mess around with the whole introductions nice to meet you and we kind of just got right into it with game discussion, which you know is pretty nice. Sometimes going through the whole nice to meet you stuff is just plain annoying and not fun to do.
And again, there was something familiar about it. Anyways, we started talking game, and we started talking the favourite tribe, clearly I was preaching the fact that we were a happy go lucky family, who had a boot order and place, and really the only real reason to sacrifice was to kind of spice up the game a little bit.
Which is pretty true, ultimately, I was pretty bored on the favourites tribe, and I really didn't want to go home on a boring tribe. That wouldn't be as fun. Or as noteworthy, as going home on an exciting tribe.
Anyways, we were talking about how all the favourites kind of know each other at this part, and I told her like I felt like I knew her, which was a completely legitimate statement, so she goes, want to play a guessing game then? And I said sure.
I asked her if she knew me, confirm or deny. And when she said confirm, suddenly I knew who she was. And uh - from that point onwards I was an immature seventeen year old with a grudge who was very stupid and stuff. But I'm allowed to my opinions on people, and you know what, I really do hate Skylar right now with my whole being.
This is my confessional so I guess I can rant like it's a journal. I'm very upset with him, and I really hate him. And I joke around and say mean things about people all the time, I'm rude, and I'm nasty, and I make mean jokes about people that I care about, so maybe I'm a hypocrite in saying that I was hurt by something that someone else did to me. I guess I am a hypocrite, but I'm upset. And I won't go into details I guess, and I won't like try and make you guys feel the way that I do in my hatred and my animosity towards him, if you know what he did, you know, and you know how much it truly hurt me, and upset me, if you don't and your curious, I'm sure someone will let you know.
So naturally, I flew off the wire when I found out it was him. Also, if you didn't realize, Skylar is Kendell from season 3. But no, I did react very crazy, (sorry Justin for yelling at you) and I think rightfully so in my opinion that I went all crazy. And I started yelling at him again.
I don't know there's just something about someone who doesn't say sorry after what they did that really pisses me off to the extreme.
Anyways, we fought a bit. And this is where Bree comes in. Bree is the person, alongside Tina who came to my defense when this whole situation happened.
I told Bree who Starr was.
And I know this is so bad, like ugh these moves are so bad, and I realize this now in hindsight, but really I wasn't thinking in the slightest bit was night.
And Bree agreed for just this one vote to help vote Starr out in a retributive justice sort of fashion. And Tina is also very much down to help out in this situation.
Though ultimately, I truly feel bad for what's happening here, I don't think Gloria is content with this decision at all, and I think I almost agree, I think in a way she's completely right and I should have listened to her last night that Thiago is definitely and should be the main target of this vote.
I can trust Bree all I want but in the end this is only one vote, and really if Skylar/Starr and I can settle our - no, changed my mind, I still refuse to work with Starr but I don't think she can go home this round.
Anyways - I really laid it into Starr last night, hard, and I was rude, and livid, and it wasn't mature of me in the slightest. But we all get bouts of immaturity, right? I'm still growing as a person, I like to think, and as an org player, so I don't see why I can't.
I think I left last night in a state where I wasn't thinking straight in the least. And I think I've kind of slightly wrecked my bridge with Gloria from it. I know that Starr had to go around last night and do some sort of damage control from it all. She had to reveal her alias to Bree and Thiago, and explain the situation between the two of us, she unknowingly did that to Bree, but Thiago is probably almost impossible to touch at this point because of that. Even if I wanted to.
Starr is also working hard for this immunity. I'm going to do the best I can but endurance isn't my strong suit. Tina said she took a try at all the chips but I don't know if I have the patience to do that. I can try though. Gloria is going to have at it later.
Actually from typing this all out, I've gotten almost a better perspective out of all of this so I think I should confessional more often.
I think that this round we should aim for Thiago to go home. But play the stupid card and say that it's Starr.
Honestly, I think this is the best move. Especially if I use Bree in that fashion, if I can get Bree to vote Starr, and then myself Gloria and Tina to vote out Thiago, but still have the rest of them think that we're voting out Starr, that could be an ideal move. Espeically if an idol is out there.
We just need myself, Gloria, or Tina to win this challenge, and it's set.
That's a really good plan, wow. Sorry thinking to myself as I type.
I just need to play up how pissed I am at Skylar, and then maybe, just maybe this can work. Thiago is way too big a social threat, and while I love talking to him as a person, and actually get thrilling conversation that I don't get out of the others, he's just way too, good, at what he does to get people comfortable and I need that to stop this instant.
I'll probably make a couple more confessionals this round, I'm sorry I've kept you guys so in the dark, I've been more than busy this past week since the game started and saw no need.

Alright, now let's start on with the questions that Morgan asked, and then I'll move on to the questions Luca asked, but I'm sure I've already answered most of these up above, but they are super long so these questions can be the TL;DR
1. Who do you trust the most and the least on your new tribes?
The trust most is actually almost difficult. In a way I want to say Tina, just because of how much we've worked together in the past, and how well we do work together when we're actually trying, there's nothing that we can't achieve. However, she WAS my downfall last time, so I don't know whether or not I should really be keeping her by my side wholeheartedly. So I'm going to have to say Gloria, we came into this knowing that we liked each other over the others, and despite the target on her back, which I told her all about, we still managed to root our way in and work together. I truly think she has my best intentions in mind, as I do with hers. As to who I trust least, Starr. Don't trust a word out of her mouth, nor will I ever. I don't know if she's acting fake compassionate or not, she can say sorry after the game, and then I might believe her.
2. How has the swap affected your gameplay?
Totally and completely, I actually intend on playing this game now. I mean I was playing before but there really was no fire behind anything because the favourites were such a laid back group that really it wasn't needed to have some full out strategy going in, I don't think anyone really needed to play all that much at that current time.
3. Is there anyone you don't want to win immunity? What would happen if they did?
Starr and Thiago, it would ruin my current plan so hopefully one of us other 4 pull out a win and ultimately succeed in this plan because of it.
Now onto Luca's questions.
1. Why is Starr going home?
I've decided that I no longer want her out, but it's because Skylar is a little bitch and I hate his guts right now.
2. What happens if Starr wins immunity?
Everything explained in the above post will be dismantled and everything in life will suck and I'll hate everything and everyone.

Quincy said to write my thought process down before I go to bed every night so I get used to writing confessionals.
There I gave you credit, you happy?
I talked to Starr tonight, and I don't know, I'm just poking around to see where my options are at without getting too greedy at the moment. This is a new field of play and I really need to see where I could go in a merge like situation.
I wouldn't be surprised if Steph, Beau, Liam, Carly, and Ben are a solid set so I need to prepare myself for a merge situation, which is only just beyond the horizon with this triple elimination.
So I talked to Starr and I told her that we could probably make a good team if we really wanted to be, and told her that we need to get this argument off our back or everyone is going to look at us. I'm not willing to work with her in the least bit, but the way the challenge is going at the moment, it looks like he might take it, and that would be worrisome for the plan in the long run. So I needed to ask him just in case.
but really he seems all for it, I don't believe him in the slightest bit but I'm trying to get the target off my back by being the negotiator of sorts to this situation.
Bree wants to vote out Starr, but isn't willing to vote out Thiago. So if Starr wins immunity, I lose Bree's vote. Gloria wants Thiago out. Tina likes Thiago.
Really, in this situation, I just have to play it by ear and see where everyone's at, I'm just slowly maneuvering my way through the crowd, and weaving webs.
I don't feel safe, honestly, I don't think I have anyone on my side, really. Gloria is wary of me, Starr is wary of me, Thiago is smart so I would be surprised if he was wary.
I just need to see who wins immunity right now before anything happens.
