They just voted off Tony. I wonder if he had wanted to go? He signed off right after the challenge. Weird.

Yeah, I was surprised he didn't at least stick around a little bit.

Lets see... I forget what I put in here...

McCleland told me last week that Crystal/Ibe/Dwight are supposed to target Missy/Jack, but he's not in for it, he's just agreeing.

We'll have to see if he's telling the truth. Newman told me that Big Mike is trying as well to go after her first cause of the HTA. (hehe) ... We'll see what McCleland holds true to.

Helen continues to collect info from people. Nobody seems to really trust her, but she sure is good at keeping her ears open. I just don't know if she can and/or will execute aggressive game moves.

I worry for Deb next.

Crystal/Jef did an amazing job last night. He can NOT get to the merge. His computer is too fast and he has great knowledge of Survivor and these games. (sidenote: not kissing ass but I loved that game last night. Even if we didn't win, it was competitive, unique, and clever with the structure of the black side of the light. Good job!)

So... my plan is to continue my game-relationship with Newman in case I need him to eliminate Crystal at the merge. One of two improbable things could happen: Missy could get booted by the Dwight/Ibe/Crystal group, OR we could not lose til we merge (never know). If Crystal sticks around that long, Newman is WAY too competitive to let Crystal stick around and I bet Adam/Allie would be too (depends on who's left by then I guess).

If we don't shift again, I should be in decent position til the merge. I dont think Djon or McCleland want to target me even if they do take out Melissa, and if they don't, we can boot Crystal next cause he's just TOO fast. Plus he sneaks deep into the game (e.g. Coby)...

sidenote: I did share the codes with Newman for the challenge (created a monster! He was as fast as I was! Too bad Crystal was faster).

Just noting this, cause if he thinks he has me wrapped around his finger he is mistaken. Brokering future good will in case I need it.

I shared with Deb as well (not that it mattered, her computer crashed).

Thinking and acting long-term. I like them both personally, but in the game... Jury votes please from yellow?

Thanks :D

Was one of my faves, too. And it's rare to have a challenge that wasn't at least in part drawn from something that's been done on CBS or something that's been done elsewhere online.

So, this one was all me. But I can't for the life of me remember how I came up with it.

It was a few months ago, and something about the black background must have triggered the idea.

So how is this stacking up participation wise against previous games? Do you find the open ID is making for less chatting here?

I'm actually surprised that most of the chatter tends to be happening around here. I mean, of course people do facebook or text or whatever, but it's mostly just in addition to what they're doing here instead of in place of it.


And....


It's just such a different beast.........it's almost impossible to rank against any other game just because the setup is so different. The early periods of most games where you see how trust and relationships are starting to form.........this one starts out on overdrive because everyone knows everyone.........and it's almost like being at the merge on Round 1.


There's could be lots of gameplay that would never work in an anonymous character game, and vice versa.


But on the flip side, there are folks who were mega-active in previous seasons that left without much of a whimper here........like Randy last night.


In Season 1, he's honestly the reason I even came up with an Award entitled - "KING OF CONFESSIONALS."


Different timing......different circumstances.



P.S. And since you were in Palau........you also KNOW what this game would have been like with Joni/Katie here.

Dude I was so bummed not to have her here! I would have changed my alliance just to be entertained by her in the game!

Is she ok? Have you heard from her?

She couldn't find it in schedule-wise. And then shortly before it started, she dropped off facebook.

Looks like its Crystal vs. Jack tonight if we lose.

Wonder what McCleland and Djon will do.

They could come out of left field and target me, but that doesn't make sense for their game. I think they both would like to work with me even if they vote out Missy.

Hopefully we don't lose. But if we do, this is the first interesting vote for me.
