Sooooooooo...



1) What is your take on the opposing tribe? Any impression on how they are functioning?

2) What do you think is your own tribe's greatest weakness right now?

3) Do you think your tribe could make a comeback from this point?

i've taken a couple days to think about these answers... and they remain the same as my initial thoughts.

1. they must be functioning pretty well. they haven't sent anyone home and their entire tribe (at least i think so) has showed up for both challenges. they had a 7:5 advantage on thursday. it's just a matter of numbers to win the challenge...

2. our tribe's greatest weakness is getting people to the challenges. we have missed two from each challenge so far. i understand people have real life commitments, but for the amount of effort, time and energy you put into this game, i take it as insulting. to me it's like showing up 30 minutes late (or at all) to a close family member's wedding or funeral. it's tacky.

3. i would love to think that we'll make a come back, but i really don't think it's going to happen. the quickness of their tribe is remarkable. it's almost as if they have some serious foreshadowing to/of the IC.

if we lose on sunday, i have a gut feeling my time is up. i need to circle the wagons and get a sense for where i am in this 5-some. crystal is making the calls (safe). MD is researching the heck out of these IC and has some brilliant ideas (safe). linda and deena are crystal's right and left hand women (safe and safe).

cristina and i are truly in the lurch for tomorrow, IMHO.

on thursday, we had a pretty good idea of IC, but failed to act quickly on it. we all have fast internet, so that is not the issue. i had a 2nd tab open ready to "add" as soon as i saw the image. (btw, why all women? the ladies are looking for some hunks out here. haha) anyway, by the time i answered, 4/7s of their tribe already had it down.

the only logical explanation i have is that they had multiple tabs and windows open with names already written down. then when the images came up, they systmatically knew where the answer was and pushed "add reply". pretty genius if you ask me. and extremely fast too.

while we're fumbling around typing, they push send and win hands down a second IC in a row.

add to that, i truly think actual alcohol consumption will impact our game tomorrow. the reason is this... on thursday, the 5-some already knew amy was leaving hours before the challenge. however, my guesses at the images, were not only late, but twice wrong. if this happens on sunday, it will be a factor on how the remaining 6 vote.

if i flounder tomorrow, my torch may be smuffed...

Feel like the next challenge is already written down as a loss? Could this line of thinking somehow sabotage you and your tribe?

Why specifically would you be the next to go? And you mentioned Crystal being the leader of this tribe. In what ways has she been leading?
