Well, here it is 4am. 10am in the Motherland. And it's a busy new day.

Nothing from Stephen yesterday. At all. He pops in, says hello on Thursday, and poof he's gone. Did I wiggle my nose and make him disappear? Oh, if only I had that power.

Yesterday may have been another success. I have found the two people willing to develop a strategy. And made friends with the other key players - Holly and Danielle.

I need Rodger close.

And I need Matty and Frosti to go away.

I don't want Stephen to be the easy first pick. It lets Frosti cement himself in. He may decide to start playing smart, instead of loose. But we clearly don't communicate. He told Kim I never answer his pms..... What all 3 of them? I tracked 'em and you just didn't read them.

I am much sneakier, looking at who is on what part of the board. A tactic I noticed Ken using once, too. Most importantly noticing who is in messaging at the same time. Like Matty, when he says he has to go... We'll talk later.... But he still appears in messaging (with Frosti) for another 30 minutes....

I'm watching..... Hear that creepy little Michael Jackson voice in the background..... 'I always feel like.... Somebody's watching meeeee..... Playing tricks on me..... Wo-o-o-o'

Interesting.... Our tribe is much more active on the boards....

And even mores... Matty posts more than anyone else.

Something else to watch....

Slight correction. For today.... Not total.....

I get the dubious distinction of most posts total...

Okay.... Let's bring the bitch out a little bit..... Gotta start practicing... Try this on for size...

Stephen.... 4 posts.... REALLY? What, did you blow Burnett to get on this show?

Noob...

Brobst tries to let everyone know how important it is to be online. Early and often.

I'll do my best to get you in the fold if you ever do show up again.

Unless Frosti already dumped your dead carcass in his latrine....

So, overall, how do you feel you have fit into the "villain" role that you've wanted to experiement with this season? And coupled with that, how do you think it's going over with the whole pretending to be from a foreign country and not understanding this and that and acting like you're in a distant timezone.....when in fact.......you're several miles away from yours truly in the good ol' C.S.T. of OKC? :)

It's very hard being a villain. I have a lot of work to do. I think I am playing harder than the others and need to be careful of being perceived that way.

But my first step was to seed in the cultural difference. I think that is working little by little. I keep getting advice from the others. Like they want to help me understand.
Exactly where I am trying to be with this character.

Then to use that deception as an excuse for any behavior that may be untoward. If they see me as a villain, I'm done for.

Villain's work behind the scenes. They manipulate. The edit reveals the true villain. (yes, Jerri Manthey... I love you... But you were a true villain.)

Russell Hantz isn't a villain, he's a petty little troll.

Abi-Maria is a villain.

If Stephen comes on, I'm ready to fill him full of lies about Frosti targeting him first. Stephen is a pawn who can be used to advance. Frosti is a competitor. So is Matty.
The women will all be seen as threats, won't work together and will kill each other off. So right now, I'm assessing personalities and play styles. The rest will come soon.

I have one question that I still have to resolve about this character.

Do I want them to know I am a villain here on the island or after we get back home. There are ups and downs to each. I want to have these players as friends. And I feel like there are two people that I have played with before.

I feel that Back To Borneo's "Gretchen" has a great reputation. And that is really me. But Austin is going to be perceived as a deceiver from day one. I don't want to lose friends over playing a character. I just have to find the right time to reveal my intentions to soften the blow.

My 'Borat' does have a little of that naive friendliness that people like.

But when the strategy really starts flowing.... When you get to the end and you have to explain yourself and the people you hurt in the process.... All because you were just 'playing a game'... You can't explain that away. That's not in your edit.

That's my biggest fear. But it's what I came here to do.

So, I don't care if I ever win a team challenge. I can appear just as dumb and threatless to Tarforst as I do to Koblenz. But I have to be seen as socially in touch. The man with
all the info. True or false or somewhere in between, usually.

And let the edit call out my evil deeds.

And just to clarify..... There will be no loyalty to anyone I may think I have played with before. There are new alliances, a different game. I worry about them simply because they begin to doubt whether I really am like Gretchen or am I like Austin...

I will not ruin this game by thinking about that.

I know "Joel" is out there.... Somewhere. He is my BFF forever. You can make very real friendships in this game. I hope I find many more here.

For the first time, I am saying something I never thought I would..... I'm just playing the game.

I just hope my theory is right and that, even with the protection secret online identities provide, I am seen as fake - and get the boot for not being genuine.

But sadly, I kinda feel like things are going well.

I'm here to fight like the dickens to test it to the fullest...

And one last note. I have to become unlikeable. It is the only way to get to the end. Likable people win. So. I seed in the alliances with the Borat persona. And then I stir up drama. Then I become unlikeable.

So far I've only created drama about Frosti.

Posted a private message in public.

Continued to point fingers at the four strongest players....

And made a tiny bit of smoke about Matty and Stephen.

Nothing that gets me in trouble yet....

More to come...

Really Frosti....

You tell Kim that I don't return your messages. Then, when you and I are the only two from our tribe online and I message you.... twice... you ignore them and then you leave.

If I have anything to say about it. You are going first. And if I get really lucky.... it will be tomorrow.

By the time Stephen comes back, he'll vote anyway I ask him to just to stay a few more days. And then I get Stephen out of the deal too. That will be my little secret. If that works and I get Stephen in my hip pocket - no one will know that I have that ace up my sleeve. It may be early to assume I can pull him over - who knows if he'll even be here. But I bet
I am the only one telling him I want to keep in the game. Everyone else talks behind his back and sees him as easy to pick for first to go.

Pack that tongue up and send it back home, Frosti.

Game On. I have a mission now. Thank you. Evil Austin, ready to go.

And now... just as if you could read my mind - you are back online and in the messages page.

I'm watching you.... can you feel it?

Baiting Frosti. Seeing what I can get from him. Playing the whole - no one is talking to me about strategy card - and asking him if he thinks I am stupid for believing everyone....

Come on Frosti.... offer me some info I can use against you...

Remember to do more GLOBAL posts. So the other tribe can see that you are a foreigner too....

The eager beaver.... who is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS IN CHALLENGES! (As long as a better target for elimination exists....)

I'm not a villain.... I'm a fricking STALKER.

Yeah - Kim is in messages. Bet I get a little something to read in the next five minutes....

And my post count climbs still higher. Lets be the most annoying, most excited player in the history of Brobst's Survivor. The likes of which these players have never seen.

...annoying, yet wholly likeable - eh, Borat?

Perhaps a little second guessing here. Lucky I am not having to stick to any of my promises...

I really would like to have Erinn to the end. Instinct is ALWAYS right. And my instinct says she's the one to ride in the carriage with.

But Kim is so much more conversational. Kim reiterates our bond so much more.

I remember all too well what is happening when people STOP talking to you. When they ain't talkin' to you - they are talkin' to someone else.... ABOUT YOU.

I just have to watch it. I trust Erinn. Erinn - you're my girl - but until we both make the pledge to each other.... I need constant attention. I'm a man after all - you gotta put out - or get out....

After we get married... then you can watch your soap operas and I can watch my football... but we're kinda still dating, I think.

Come to me, Erinn..... You are the one - I mean it... But if I gotta jump 100% in Kim's bed, I sure will.

And dang it - Frosti may actually be really nice and not scheming and playing as I suspect. Ah well, I've already made that bed - I gotta lie in it, I reckon....

Back to the drama.... that I'm NOT creating....
