Episode 5 - The Floodgates of Hell Open

[Joel]

So we'd been riding high from our past two immunity challenge wins, and were ready to kick ass again.

I was excited to compete in a scavenger hunt immunity challenge. I can honestly say in eight years of playing games, I've never done a scavenger hunt as a challenge in a game.

Once again Bud pissed me off. I'm really starting to hate that fucker more and more each day.

I went out and found something that cost 99 cents. In Indiana we don't have sales tax on any grocery related items or any food.

So I took a picture of myself holding a bag of Funions, which were flavored "Flaming Hot" or something to that nature. I was at work when I did this task, so only had a limited amount of time to find something and take a picture before a customer came in.

When, I put it up so that it'd count for the challenge Bud starts IMing me. He just thought it was so funny that I grabbed the bag that said "flaming" on it, because I am gay.

Hey motherfucker, I may be gay, but I am definitely not a flamer. Don't believe me? Make the six hour drive up from North Carolina, and I'll show you just how much of a fucking flamer I am. God, so fucking ignorant and stupid.

He also made a comment about me posting a picture dressed as the opposite gender. Something like I had it lieing around. Uh no, I will do what I can to win challenges. It is all in good fun, sorry you don't have the balls to throw on a dress and snap a photog. Doesn't mean shit.

I don't understand how this fucker is as homophobic as he is coming off as. He claims he had a busy day with his girlfriend yesterday. When he made that comment I was literally laughing out loud to myself. I started IMing Juice, and was laughing to hime about that comment as well.

I could've sworn Bud was gay himself, and Juice thought the same thing. Maybe it is that little sissy voice he has, you know the type of voice that should make me "flaming", but I don't have. Bahahah.

God I really hope I get to vote this fucker out soon. Unfortunately he did do a lot in the challenge, and I cannot logic voting him tonight.

We lost the last immunity challenge. I really am not surprised for a couple of reasons.

The first reason being is because it is hard to win a challenge when you are outnumbered. The Heros had everyone on there tribe competing to do things on the list. All nine of them. We on the other hand had three people who didn't bother to lift a finger to help. Andrew's camera convienantly broke the day the challenge started. Get real, you just didnt' want to do the challenge. Jeffrey had to go to a funeral or something like that. I can understand that a little bit better. And Megan is an alias and doesn't want anyone to know who she really is, so she wasn't going to take pictures of herself. Lame! There is only so much six people can do, espicially against nine.

The other reason I knew we were going to lose is because the Heros are full of cam whores. They all have no problems taking pictures of themselves doing anything. You could've put "take a picture of yourself eating shit" and one of them would've done it.

So we lost, not surprised. I gave it my all this challenge, and really busted my ass all for nothing. Oh well, I suppose life is full of its ups and downs.

I made this a two parter, just to have three. Sorry, I've been really busy this weekend, it is my weekend to work both jobs, and I pretty much work 7:30-9:30 all weekend.

Anyway, a lot has happened in preparation for this boot. The game has officially started for me with the plotting going on.

Andrew decided he wants to target me for this vote, because he thinks I would flip come the merge, and that I am his biggest threat to win this game. Uh fuck you too buddy. Why the hell would I fucking flip? I've gotten into fights with BOTH Stephen and Tucker. Erik and Erin make it known the hatred they have for me. What do I honestly have to gain by flipping when we merge. You truly are an idiot.

Bridget came to me earlier today, and told me that she honestly believes that Andrew found the idol. Apparently she found where it was, it was gone, and he was the most recent person there.

So she devised a plan and got the whole tribe on board to blinde side Andrew tonight, to get rid of the idol. Everyone agreed to it, because if he truly has the idol, they want it out.

The biggest issue is getting everyone to sell the fact that they are going with his plan to oust me. If we can keep him convinced fully that I am being voted out unanimously, with the exception of me voting for him, then he won't play the idol, and will get booted out with it.

I'm worried he will play the idol regardless though, so I wanted to make sure someone else got a few votes, to negate his one vote for me. A lot of people seemed to agree, the ones I actually care about in this game. So Hooker is voting with me, and we are sending two votes Megan's way. That way if Andrew plays the idol, we have two votes to cancel his vote for me. If someone flipped and voted with him, we can force a tie and get a revote between Megan and me.

People are doing a really good job selling the fact they voted me out. As Juice pointed out to me, Andrew is absolutely clueless of what is going on. I just wish I could be sitting in the same room as him when tribal council was over, so I could see the look on his face when he got owned.

I will be honest about something though. Bridget might be right, Andrew may very well have the idol. But there is something in the back of my mind.

What if Bridget really has the idol, wants to make it look like Andrew does, so he gets voted out with people thinking he had it. Then, the talk of the idol will be gone, because Andrew will be out, and Bridget will be sitting pretty with the idol and noone thinking it exists.

Hmmm.
