Episode 4 - Unwelcomed Stay

[Joel]

Sorry, I haven't been doing a good job of keeping this up to date. Been really busy.

So we won the drama filled challenge three, and it was nice to have a break from tribal council. If it wasn't for Juice we wouldn't have won. Hero's vote Jamie out at tribal, not a big surprise, because she wasn't a pair with someone.

So round four starts, and I was initially excited to kick some ass in this challenge. We had a group talk so that we could communicate better, and I thought we were going to win.

I did my first puzzle really easily, and then struggled or was too slow with some others.

So I decided to ask everyone in the chat what they were working on, because it sounded like things that needed multiple people.

All four times I asked, I never got a response. People just carried on with what they were talking about like I wasn't even there. Fuck that. I bust my ass to be here every challenge, and do what I can to help this tribe win. And then they are just all going to alienate me like that, and basically ignore me.

So over that shit, what are we in high school or something?

I finally found something from one of the puzzles that wasn't done, and was able to get a whole 2 more points. Big fucking deal.

I am so pissed off at my tribe. I genuinely liked a good majority of them, and went out of my way to befriend all of them. For them to basically just ignore me all night long during the challenge. Thanks a lot fuckers.

Last night we found out the first twist in the game.

I knew there had to be a hidden immunity idol somewhere in this game, but I didn't know where to look for it or anything like that.

Sandy told us last night that the person who is voted out at tribal council, will give one member of the winning tribe a clue to where the idol is. I immediately started thinking I was fucked, because I don't think some people on the Heros tribe like me, and the rest just don't know me very well. So me getting clues is going to be hard to come by.

Our tribe decided that if we go to tribal council, the person voted out should give their clue to one of the weaker or more outside members of the Heros tribe.

Are you kidding me? If you vote my ass out of this game, and then expect me to turn around and help you out like that, you are fucking crazy.

They want to make sure that the clues stay out of Erik, Erin, and Stephen's hands.

Since I was basically being ignored last night, I said in our little chat that if I was voted out I wouldn't be giving it to Morgan. That got people's attention like I figured it would. So they asked me who I would give it to, and I said Erik, Stephen, or Erin.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of any of the three of those people, but if I'm going to be ignored or whatever, and voted out, I am not going to do anyone on this tribe favors by giving the clue to the idol to someone they want me to.

This was all strategy. The whole point of me saying this, was so that people would think long and hard before throwing my name out when it came time for tribal council. Now if we ever go, they have to go over whether the risk of voting me out is worth letting one of those three have a clue to the hidden immunity idol.

As soon as I said that, and left the group chat. Juice was all over me. He was worried about me, and could tell I was really upset. So we had a nice long talk, and I don't really hold any ill will toward Juice. I like the guy a lot, he is a good person and a great friend.

I am just baffled that these people could know I felt alienated and ignored all night long, and yet only two of them could come to me and apologize for making me feel that way, when they all knew how upset I got over it.

I was really disappointed that Hooker and RB, who I thought I was closest to, didn't even care enough to come talk to me about it, or try and be there for me. Really? How close of allies are we, if you are just going to shrug it off like I don't even matter.

Yeah yeah yeah, we just got our second challenge win in a row! After the Heros tribal council tonight, the game will be evened up again. Nine on nine. Everyone left on the villains tribe called this. We said once we got rid of Torah and Katy we'd be a force to be reckoned with in the challenges, and we are proving to be right.

I mean we won this last challenge by 140 points. Who would've thought the margin of victory would be so big. I know I never did.

After getting my feelings hurt the night before by feeling ignored, I woke up yesterday feeling refreshed and rejuvinated.

I issued an apology to everyone on this tribe based on what I said the night before, because I truly did understand where they were coming from. They wanted to win the challenge, and they weren't really paying attention to what was happening in the challenge. I get that, I accept that, and because we won the challenge, I am happy for that.

So yesterday I started going through the puzzles again, just to see if there was anything else I could do. I found a few things, two that I could do that netted us about 40 points. Then, I also found some puzzles that were complete, but had wrong answers, so I went in and robbed those.

Stephen and Juice both missed the same puzzle so I stole that. Then Allen missed another puzzle so I went in and stole that as well. I know Juice isn't going to be pissed that I stole his, because either way it was still points for our tribe. The other two may be a little pissed I came in and robbed them of points, but oh well. Guess better next time!

I'm honestly a little shocked in RB and Andrew right now. Not so much Bud. The three of them are basically calling out the Heros on voting out Jamie, and the random decision it was. And who will be the random person to be voted out this time.

Do they not realize, that these people they are arguing with and what not are the same people that will be handing out clues to the hidden immunity idol once they are voted out. Why would you question them and shit when something like that is on the line, you can't obviously expect them to give you a clue if they are the one's going based on that shit.

I don't mind so much Andrew and Bud doing it, they are two people I don't want getting clues to the idol. But, I really would like RB to get clues, because I still want to go to the final two with him, although that is looking like less and less of a goal. I mean I still like RB a lot, but he is hardly around anymore, and we never talk. I feel more of a connection with his self-proclaimed nemesis on our tribe, Juice.
