Alright! I wasn't the first boot! That's always such a sigh of relief!
A video confessional is coming your way! I'm going to make it right now. =P

OK... Now I am really frustrated >_< !
The video won't upload because it's a 10 minute max. I am going to go ahead and just type out a confessional now with the basics of what I said... and I promise video confessionals will be coming soon!
For now, I have some quick thoughts about various events so far. First, Torah being voted out of the Villains Tribe is a little bittersweet. I had this weird curiosity about Torah because on one had, she's this total legend, but yet, she's an alias... I was just intrigued by her, and hoped to work with her down the road. However, I'd rather see her, or any villain go instead of one of my Hero tribemates, so oh well. The more challenges we win, and the more villains sent home, the better. It will just help us numberswise later in the game.
Our tribe did such a fantastic job in the first challenge! Our flag is sooo cool! It's still so much lawlz that the villains are trying to argue that their flag is better... it's completely obvious to any sane individual who put more effort into the task. I think it really shows why we are heroes, and why they are villains.
On that note, I've been thinking a lot lately of what it means to be a hero... vs. what it means to be a villain. In the world of Survivor, being a hero doesn't mean you won't ever lie, or make something up, or vote someone out who thought you had their back. Playing as a hero is having loyalty to your true, original allies, competing with all your might, maining respect for the entire cast and the hosts, and doing what it takes to win in the end. When a hero wins a game, the viewers and other players can appreciate and acknowledge the effort it took to earn that title, even if they were backstabbed by that person in an earlier round. Villains aren't the only people who are supposed to lie. Everyone will lie. The villains are just the people who try too hard to seem "Evil" because they have insecurity issues of their own. They think bullying people and intimidation make them look all big and bad, but really, it's just fake. Heroes are the people who actually know how to play this game well both socially and strategically, so really, it's way more of a challenge to make it far on a tribe of all heroes...
In a few hours, we're going to be attempting the second immunity challenge. It sounds like all 10 of us participating will be online at the same time, so I'm really confident we can put up a solid score. I can't wait to see the villains' reaction when we kick their asses again. The more they lose and continue to self-destruct, the better!

Gosh, this confessional is so lame so far! I'm really really sorry. I finally figured out how to get my videos to work. I just need to not blab on for 10+ minutes, and I won't have issues.
I am going to transition over to Episode 3... and I'm making a video once my battery for my camera is charged. YAY.
Oh, and appreciation for Surviving Episode 2!!!
