Katy got the chop on the Villains trip to tribal. It was a no brainer from their side really, Erik is getting a little wound up by Bud but that is to be expected; when two headstrong players clash you're hardly going to expect a tea party.

These next few days are pivotal to the alliance, as of now I have a voting pact with Jordan and Erik. We're all in agreeance that Stephen should join the ranks and that would give us Erin as the fifth voter - what is interesting to see is that Stephen mentioned "assets", so if we do lose this challenge then we can start looking at who hasn't pulled their weight.

So by the end of this episode, I'm looking at building up these four players and myself into an alliance that will control 40% of the vote.

Erin - Erik - Jordan - Stephen - Tucker

And then it'll be a case of choosing one of the other six. The Immunity Challenge is definitely going to test the strength of my endurance, I haven't done a late night task in forever! And with the challenge tonight it is going to add pressure on me since I sat out in the last task.

Why do the Villains complain in every challenge?

I mean seriously? C'mon, if they were coming up with even 10% of our creative styles (hidden text, original image on top of custom image) then they wouldn't have a problem whatsoever. Bud said himself he'll look for loopholes... well, so will we! We're thinking of them first becasue we're the smarter team.

And unfortunately they cannot process this. It is like competing against the spoilt brats who cry when they don't get their way.

Props to Juice, carrying his team when they all bowed out because they didnt want the challenge to be entertaining. Enjoy the immunity, you wholeheartedly don't deserve it apart from Juice

So it's time to eliminate somebody from the team. This will be interesting, if I get the time I'll consider writing up my Disclaimer!

So this is what I've gathered so far;

Upon talking to Jordan, we talked about voting more on a social aspect which immediately brought up Clayton as he is a very under the radar player. It seemed pretty decent, I then went to Ashley who asked me to keep her "in the loop" about any namedropping. I agreed and then went to Allan who (funnily enough, Ashley said too) that they weren't in any alliance.

More on that later.

I then talk to Erin, she says that Jamie has had her name thrown around primarily by Morgan. Passing this back to Jordan he heard it and that Erik will do it. With a heavy heart I dont want to vote Jamie out, I'd much rather it be Clayton to leave.

But if Allan and Ashley go with voting with us, that is Jamie voted out first, then hopefully Clayton will be the second Hero out.

Something doesn't feel right I don't want to do this vote... guh!

Alright, I've been putting it off since day one but lets do this... tribemate evaluation.

Allan - Hawaii & Fans vs. Favorites
I've competed against and alongside Allan over the course of 2009/2010 and throughout all those experiences he has went from good, to mediocre and then going onto the terrible. He plays mainly with his heart and the amount of times that I have been on the opposing side and voted him off is stacked against when I've backed him up with is none existant.

Right now, I'm on the fence about him. I do think he could flip though, and pretty soon he's going to be tested about his relationship/alliance with Ashley.

Ashley - Hawaii & All-Stars
I genuinely like this girl, she's full of energy and optimistic which are two key qualities I look for in a member of a team. In a way we're both similar, a very confident girl who still has that thought in the back of her head by those who've doubted her in the past and has never truly let it go. That's what I think anyway, whether I'm wrong I wont know until post-game.

She has approached me to keep her "in the loop" about any potential voting strategies. As long as I can manage her in a way that she cannot be swayed by any opposing alliances she can be a valuable vote as well as a throwaway pre-merge. She too will be tested about Allan soon enough.

Clayton - Egypt
He's my weakest social game right now, and although he is acting relatively low key and being a player who is just "there", it is making him stand out more than he knows. And it's not just me he is having difficulty with on the social aspects. Others have noticed this, plus many have said that his closest ally might just be Ashley.

If it was upto me, he would be the only name put forward for the vote. He needs to step up sooner rather than later.

Erik - Peru & Fans vs. Favorites
I'm a huge fan of Erik, he's an intelligent guy who will shake your hand and plan your elimination. So it's nice that we're together this season as opposed to the last time when I was organising with other people to take him out. He's also with Jordan which makes things less tense for me, though the two of them have had a squabble in the past but it seems to have been patched up.

I'd love to be sitting with Erik at finals, though I know the prospect of winning would be out of my hands. And he's eager to test the waters of Allan & Ashley being seperated and eliminated.

Erin - Bermuda
A nice girl, but a little boring. Don't get me wrong but when she told me that it was Jamie being mentioned I thought "why not you?" but to me I enjoy her within the tribe, if she makes merge she does stand a chance of becoming a very stable under-the-radar player that could easily sail into the finals if an alliance doesn't take note of her.

And since I'm on good terms with her and am apart of this voting pact through Jordan, she cannot be touched. And her pairing with Stephen makes me concerned, but not right now.

Jamie - Arabia
Now that I think more and more about it, Jamie does pose an incredible threat to everybody's game on the Heroes. Although those on Villains are right now trying to band their group together at nine players, what's not to say she'll switch out with Bud and Hooker. She is a lovely girl socially, but I never once put her in a strategical frame of mind.

That makes her dangerous to know.

Jordan - Peru
The first alliance I made in this game, and the one I'll stick with all the way through. As with Ashley, we're similar with our perceptions of people - he's a quick witted guy and we share the same interests. And even though it sounds stupid, when we talk about our partners it just seems organic more than forced talk to risk being voted for.

He's got my back, I'll take Jordan to finals without question.

Morgan - Egypt & All-Stars
She's a firecracker, the girl from Mexico has more than a pretty face and it makes her valuable as well as a risky player. I know about her little fascination with Tom in the last All-Star edition it was cute in a way but also sickening. She is also the one I blame for Jamie being eliminated, her performances she said herself are weak so it's something to consider later on down the road.

To take to finals, no chance.

Stephen - Bermuda
After hearing all the speculation about this guy, it's really nice to say that he's a humble guy and full of energy and is excited to be competing alongside the other members of our team. I can see why he was given his spot and it's well deserved, without question he is the strongest on the design aspect of challenges and his social game is quite fitting to mine.

And I do see a lot of qualities that we both share, one of the strongest players on our team right now and he's not going anywhere.

Tom - China & All-Stars
As with Stephen, I had heard lots about Tom but never got to talk to him on a 1-2-1 level. And he's a really nice guy, definitely the "Ultimate Hero" because he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. Strategically, he is scary because of reputation but I dont think that the rep he has within the alumni he sees as a positive. If anything it adds more pressure on him to perform.

I'd love to take Tom far, whether or not though will be a different question altogether.

In Summary

I'd love an all-male alliance going on; Erik, Jordan, Stephen, Tom and Me - the five strongest players together and then systematically wiping out the Villains would be a really good thing for all of us.

The people I'm worried about are Allan, Ashley, Erin and Morgan because they might have more influence than what I imagine them to have. And that has to be severed soon enough.
