No surprise that Torah went. Katy self voted though?? That's no good at all. She does it twice and she's gone. we ccan NOT afford that. IF she can't prove she is voting any time we go to tribal now, we have to vote her out. No way we can lose 2 @ 1 time!
This challenge sounds pretty cool. I put myself 2nd. I think I may end up going 1st. No one wants to, so I'll do it I guess. I just hope I don't screw up, cause 1st and last leg's will get scapegoated if we lose!!!!
On the other hand, if I do well and play everything right, I can establish myself as an intigral part of the tribe and hopefully avoid the "leader" tag too. Going 1st would actually exclude me from the flurry of planning at the beginning because I would be working on my piece. If I do well, I come back triumphant and then take a supporting role in the help after that...
I REALLY REALLY do not want to lose again. I would have no idea who to target at this point. and I want to see them vote!

Nice. Megan took 1st. I get 2nd (The 2 of us in th lead role again, just with me alittle back!!! ) Jeffery will be late, I hope not TOO Late. (I think he said 11, so 2 hours??? hmmmm - shold be fine if we move him to last slot...) Did I mention I REALLY want to win this challenge? I'm gunna kill it! Don't know what it is, but whatever, I'm going hard. Katy looks back, that's great! (A weekend thing? We'll hve to watch out next weekend I guess? Jeffery said she did it in Canada alot too) She is suposed to be part of my allaince so, I would hate to have to cut her out now. Bad news all around. We probably need her. I guess maybe Bridget could take the spot, but that is dangerous! I think Katy would be more invested in sticking with me, stick and Juice (Especially because of Juice), so I want her around!

Joel is after Bud??? Didn't see that coming! Joel asked me about possibly taking Bud out next time we go to tribal... Juice says Joel said the same thing to him and he seems to agree with it as well!!! Bridget also got asked about voting Bud out... I don't think I like it?? I mean it's great that it isn't me and all, but I think we should be keeping him around right now!
I might try and block it if we lose. I don't think it's the best play for me at all, so if I have a choice I will do something about it!

2 posts here... 1: A quick blurb on the "Steve" thing! lol - then a very insightfull new alliance and breaking of alliance talk to follow! (@ wok, so that will take a bit to type up...)
OK - so last night we were having a chat room... at 1 point it was only Bridget, me, Jeffery and RB. Bridget was asking about my kids (How old, names, etc) and Jeffery says... "I wanna have a kid just so I can name them something wierd. Like I would name him Chris, but spell it S-t-e-v-e. So then when the teacher at school calls out Steve, he can say Umm it's pronouced CHRIS!! SO I jokingly said I would change my display name to Steve Hook, and they all laughed and decided they were going to call me Steve from now on...
so now it's the inside Joke between us... (Jeff called me Steve in the comp chat later at night and RB and Bridget laughed, but the rest of them thought he was making a sarcastic crack about not knowing who half of us were! lol) Although now I actually HAVE changed the display name...
It's nice, I was never included in inside jokes and the "comraderie" stuff in Peru! Good to know that even though I am the oldest and only married/with kids person in the cast, that I can be included with them, even some of the younger ones! And that was not the first chat where I actually got along with most!(Even though it is at least partially forced/faked - lol)

Sorry I have not got to part 2 yet - I WILL!! But this kinda goes along with it...
I sent this message to Bridget on FB today
Pardon if this is alittle long - lol (maybe not, I'll try to be brief!)
So, I have been trying to keep the "alliance thing" to a minimum so far. (I got myself in trouble in Peru with that!!) and just try and be nice and get along with as many people as I can instead... BUT I don't want to wait so long that I get left out either!!!
I think I have some decent realtionships going, but nothing more than 1 on 1's and I worry about what could happen if I get surprised later by finindg out that they are after each other!!!
I trust you, I consider you my ally and you are the one I talk to the most, so I figured I would come to you with this and then see where it goes from there. I want to kind of let you know where I am at with things in the game as a jesture of trust and to get your input on what you thnk of some of our tribemates!! I am in no way saying that we should just all make a big alliance, (not that I'm against that either I guess, but I still don't know what everyone thinks of each other!)
But after you the people I talk to most and get good vibes from are (in a kind of basic order)
RB - He has been claiming that he doesn't talk alot yet, and seems very loyal tribally (like he wants villains to outlast heroes no matter what)
Jeffery - still don't see him alot, but I like him. And the Steve thing cracks me up!
Stickman - he's alittle paranoid, but seems to have a solid thought process
Juice - He's like me. Kind of... I just seem to see alot of myself in him sometimes, so that draws me to him I guess. I have heard rumors though that he may be making alliances with everyone (he did ask me for 1), so I am not sure yet???
Bud/Megan/Joel - havn't talked to as much, they are the outspoken/rude tribe-mates - lol, always good to have someone like that around though to keep the heroes attention though!!!
So I took a leap of faith here, I hope telling you all this doesn't bite my ass! (I guess I didn't actually say anything bad about anyone here, but then again I rarely say anything bad about anyone!)
So any thoughts??
It was to try and gain trust and hopefully even some info! (As you can see I skewed my real order, so as not to give too much away, while at the same time trying to be as close to truthful as possible)
I feel keeping Bridget close is going to be crucial at some point in this game!

This was her reply:
I know what you mean about the 1 on 1 thing going on here. I feel like I don't have any SOLID alliances, more just people I get along with and talk to. Yeah, I'm completely down with an "official" alliance, cause you're one of the ones I talk to the most. I agree exactly with what you said about the others. I like you, Juice, Jeffrey, and Stickman (even if he is paranoid).
Sounds promising... Didn't really get any info I was hoping for, but the agreement to an official alliance (and YES, I know... this is Bridget I am dealing with here, but I am a fully accomplaished snake in my own right and I know how to deal with it! The game is FULL of snakes, and if I were to scare away from them so easily, I would have no where to run!!! lol) is what I was really looking for anyway!
This could be the beginnings of an actual allaince here...?? Which BTW once again changes everything I was going to say this morning!!! So that "Alliance post" I promised, working that out in my head now! lol

OK I guess I better at least give you a small comment on tgis new alliance stuff...
Obviously you see Bridget and I have solidified an alliance.
Last night I asked RB about making something official...
The iGeek allaince is still on!!!
The Nickname alliance is in question? For the moment I am going ot continue to work with Juice, but we'll see what happens if it comes time to remove Joel.
Sorry Joel, this has worked out badly and all of a sudden I feel that I need to target you! Nothing personal I still like ya and wish this wasn't the case... but I think you and Juice are starting to work things and if you force a Bud issue next tribal I am going to have to try and flip it.
