Episode 3



Black barbie is here baby!!

Lol sorry, just a joke that Ben and I have. As we are a dying breed of human among the game.

Today has been very good for me. I've been chatting a lot more with people and getting deeper and deeper into their thoughts. Tina and I discussed a lot regarding Laela and her craziness. Tina is pissed about what Laela has spread. She wants people to know that her and Chad aren't as close but we all know that's a lie. They are super tight but whatever, it's not a concern right now.

The plan earlier was to split the vote 5-5 Laela/Zoe because we think one of them has the idol and it would eliminate one of them for sure. As I was discussing this with Gloria, she revealed to me she had the Hidden Immunity Idol!! Eek, this is amazing. Like, I'm the only person who knows and this is really going to change the game for not only Gloria but me. As you know, Beau's relationship with Quincy last year was enough for Quincy to idol Beau and save him. So by bonding with Gloria more and more, I could definitely see her using her idol on me.

Mission # 2 was today, I got Carly now on board. That creates a foursome now. She was very happy about it and excited. I told her that Ben and Liam are also being considered and she was even happier. I asked her who she was close to and she said Ben. So I have her on a mission now to contact Ben and reel him in. Even though I have a good friendship with him I think? I want her to do it so it appears that I'm less in charge.

I also came to a conclusion that Gloria's idol image is in a green color. If possible, I can tweak the image into a pink, purple, orange or whatever color I wanted. Show people hers and show people mine and have EVERYONE fooled that we both have idols so if we ever need to we can kind of unleash them on people and it could potentially save us. Kind of just like the recent episode of Survivor with the 3 Amigos <3

btw, I hate that it's a double TC it sucks. I know I won't win IC but I just hope Laela or Zoe will go.

[stephenie]

I feel like I am a Voodoo Priestess or something. Everything I say everyone seems to be like in an agreeance with. Everyone seems to want to talk to me or be with me. I sincerely am not trying to be cocky but it's just overwhelming with all the IM's that I get.

Right now the plan is get split the vote. 7 people are voting Laela, 3 people are voting Zoe and Zoe/Laela are prob voting Beau. It right now seems to be a blindside. So this should be really juicy once it unfolds. Hahahahaha.

[Lucunt🍻🔫Ԇ]

That black barbie!

[stephenie]

Thanks Lucas <3


Dear god, I have to be fucking Dr.Phil to Laela. She is the most paranoid person I've ever played with in any type of game. You can tell her she's safe 1,000 times and she still thinks she is being blindsided. Even though she is right, you would think if 10 people said you were okay, you'd believe it. This is why she has to be blindsided. If she had an inkling she was going, she'd be lunaticly ballistic right now.

I just can't wait til she goes, she creates the drama here.

Episode 4

Wow, I did it. I killed the teen dream, I killed Laela. Deal with it. I'm in shock that it went down so easily. I'm also surprised by the vote count. It looks like it was 7 Laela, 3 Zoe, 1 Chad and 1 Beau which is weird like why the Chad vote? but whatever.

Apparently, Selena told Laela earlier that she was going and it really pissed Tina off. This isn't good because Hurricane Tina can be something messy to deal with. Thankfully, I'm behind her good graces. At this point, Selena and Zoe are the targets. They should be worried. Although, I do have a slight bit concern about Taylor. He's laying too low. I've become an expert on reading certain types of players. I refuse to just let him slither through just like Yvette, Vincent or Perry (I do <3 you guys) They just layed low, caused no drama and were kind of half handed the top 5. I'm not letting history repeat itself.

[tess]

I'm the only black barbie here <3

[stephenie]

Haha yeah right girl. I'm this season's supreme black barbie <3

[stephenie]

After the aftershock of the Laela vote to a couple people and maybe the PW's or other tribe. I think I need to lay low. I'm starting to get nervous about perceptions people are gonna have of me and I just don't want to get a threatening label.

Gloria and I are the King pins of the game. We are the glue holding together the major alliance in the game. We have formed a deal between her, Beau, Carly and I. Another one that includes Ben and Liam. Also, Chad and Tina have formed an alliance with us as well. So on this tribe there is a core 8 group. Zoe, Selena and Taylor are basically sitting ducks if we don't swap. Selena was kind of a "9th" but she isn't anymore because she informed Laela about that vote and it really pissed Tina off which actually works in my favor because Chad/Tina wanted to add her into our group but I didn't want her in it.

At the moment, I really think we are in the position to win the next Immunity and possible more. We as a tribe just can't waiver because one of this group has to win.

[stephenie]

I really feel at the challenge equilvelant to Sandra Diaz-Twine. I really don't think I've done anything in any of the challenges thus far. These games are 10 times harder than last time. I can only imagine what some of these newbies are thinking. Like, this is not easy. I think I could ace an advanced college physics course quicker than I could ace any of these challenges.

[Lucunt🍻🔫Ԇ]

College Physics is evil. D:

[stephenie]

Nothing is like happening at the moment. The game is sort of at a stand still for me and I think for my tribe because we've won so much. We don't need to worry and the battle lines are drawn in the sand. Things are shifting and it's just simple.To the viewer, it may seem boring but for someone in my position it's perfect. There's a caste system in our tribe and I'm on the top of the pyramid luckily.

[stephenie]

Episode 5

This round has been the dullest round in the history of me playing this game. It's just been dry, dry, dry. I think the challenge dragged which no one really wanted to put forth much effort into anyway. Ugh, I really thought someone was doing it and that they didn't need my help. If I could have helped a bit more than I would have and maybe we could have won. Although, I am okay with the fact that we lost. I think it's time to cut off the inevitable dead weight that we have been holding onto now for a couple weeks. That dead weight is Zoe for sure. She doesn't interact with us, doesn't do challenges and barely logs in.

Biggest shocker ever was Selena using her Immunity. Like wtf, dude you were not even the target AT ALL. Wow, she even told me she felt vulnerable and as if people really were considering her. That right there for me is a red flag, she is gonna play a long and paranoid filled game. Selena kind of dug her own grave, the only shot she has to win I think is if she is F3 and there's a bunch of fans on the jury and they vote for her. She kind of has made people a little annoyed by certain things. Like for me, it's the fact I told her that Zoe was the vote and I was confident in that, and that she needed to go because of how weak she is. She seemed fine with that plan. Whatever, she loses her Immunity necklace and it actually is our gain because thats one less prize

Man, this week has just been slow. I haven't been able to talk to Carly, Liam, Beau and Zoe ( no shocker there). Ben and I are getting closer, we have a black Ken and black Barbie thing going haha. Gloria is always my # 1. I am genuinely loving Chad more and more by the day. I really trust him and want him to do well out here. Taylor is just super UTR and is going with the flow at the moment, I'm sure. Selena is well Selena. She claims she is 100% on board to vote with the favorites and stick with us to the end. I don't know if I can believe her. She's played kind of all over the place. I think she'll be a pawn for some of us to use but she'll go eventually. Tina, oh Tina. She is a little wild, out of no where she accused me of telling Selena she has a target on her back and I'm like what? I told Selena the exact opposite if anything. Tina is the Princess of Paranoia compared to Selena's Queen Position. My big thing for me wanting to commit to Tina and Chad as a Final 4 is that Tina is wary of Gloria and knows she is a threat and she's just covering her bases constantly and repeatedly. She wants to win and she's paranoid about every step to getting there.

The last dilemma is, do we split the vote or not? Zoe could have a fucking idol for ALL we know and be playing us right now. We vote her out 10-1 and she whips out the idol and chooses who goes. Or do we split the vote 8-2-1, she pulls out no idol and we kind of piss off whoever receives the 2 votes. It probably would be Taylor. With a potential swap coming, I don't want to risk Taylor going into it thinking he was on the chopping block to go next. He is but still, I don't want him to know that. To be honest, if we did do Zoe and she pulled out her idol aslong as it wasnt Me, Gloria, Ben, Carly and Chad, I'd be okay with it lol. Sigh!

[stephenie]

Episode 6

Zoe is gone! Finally. She was such dead weight anyway. I think as a whole, I have a better handle on this whole tribe now. I communicate with every member of the tribe. The only bad news is we received some Tree Mail basically which I interpreted as a tribal switch so I'm not too happy about that. I'm pretty sure the tribes would end up as 5/4 split on each side so we should still be able to have a majority.

[stephenie]

Ugh, I just posted this long confessional and accidentally x-ed it out. Time to sum it up more -_-

I think the switch was crazy. Very unexpected but cool. It's new and exciting. It gives hope to the boys on Reliqueem and it gives hope to my tribe as well. I think our group is solid as hell and if we team back up after this dilemma, we will be stronger than ever.

I think of the 7 on this tribe, I'm the matriarch of the group. I have connections with literally every person at the moment and I have the right ideas and the right interactions to help move me forward. The main group is Beau, Ben, Carly, Liam and I. Taylor/Selena are on the outs but I honestly don't think they have any clue. With this Triple Tribal Council coming up, I think anything is possible in their heads. If things go the way I plan, Taylor will be voted out with him believing that Beau is the vote.

The best part and the worst part of the twist is losing Tina/Chad/Gloria. The best part is they were all very adamant that they wanted Selena out but I feel like I can trust her somewhat. Now, I can basically try to get people to want to keep her for a while. Although, after this triple TC, we'll be down to 15 and there'll be at least 3 more tribals til a merge. So if we did lose again, Selena would most certainly have to leave. The worst part of Tina/Chad/Gloria going is that they are 3 of my strongest allies and that they could be forming a stronger than ever bond. If we reunited at the merge, maybe they stick with me to the final 4 and then dump me at 4th. I don't want to believe Gloria would back stab me but it's possible because she's going to be bonding a lot with them.

At the end of the day, I can sigh in relief because I am safe for a while. I genuinely feel so much better about my game this time compared to the last time. Yay for playing smarter not harder!

[stephenie]

I am not neglecting this game in the slightest. It truly is part of my strategy to lay low and be a lot quieter than last time. I don't have much to say or post because I barely see anyone online to talk to and pretty much a lot of the decisions on this tribe are set in stone and I'm in a great position.

Last time when I played, I played hard, lied and was in the chat every single night chatting, bonding and socializing. Quincy saw that and was threatened by me and Idol'd me due to that. Even getting Luca (Who I thought was a stronger ally due to our Digimon obsessions) to flip on me. So I really had to balance a lot of things in order to play this game and play it differently yet correctly.
