Unbelievable that a week has gone by so quickly. Had a moment this morning where that guilt reared its ugly head again. I was watching the news story on Mant'i Te'o - the Notre Dame defensive player who is making news for the fake story of the death of his girlfriend. Apparently, there is a term for people who engineer false indentities and stories about them on the internet and social media. It's called 'Catfishing' - that sure doesn't make me feel good about myself. I must say, Austin has adapted somewhat from my original plan - probably somewhat as a byproduct of my theory. I think you would agree, that despite my desire to be wholly a liar and a schemer, I have fallen back into that person who tells the truth no matter what. I have fallen back into who I really am, veiled by a character I am playing. My experiment isn't working yet. I keep telling everyone everything I know. I have yet to really lie - aside from this fabricated story of the guy in Germany who doesn't know very much about Survivor. What I started about Frosti was actually said. This character is just able to ask questions and point fingers in a way I could not. I have to change that soon. The team player is a huge threat and gets voted out. The person everybody likes makes it to the merge and no further. I think Austin is that player right now. I HAVE to figure out how to be unlikeable. I have to get over my personal desire to be nice all the time and have everyone as friends. So is Austin interesting. Sure, I guess. But it he what I wanted him to be? Not yet. I just have to wrap my head around what to do next. My hope is this. I want us to win tonight - I want to squash Tarfarts. But I would LOVE if they won and chose me to go over there. If Marty told them I was the one on the outs over here. The one they could pull in. If they bit on my lie like Marty wants us to believe in his. And to them, I would spin a vicious web of lies. Of who is calling the shots. Of things that happened. I would make a copy of EVERY SINGLE thread in their camp and post it back over here for everyone to read on this tribe. I would leave their head spinning with stories of how Stephen was forging alliances from day one. Telling everyone he wanted a final two with them. How Erinn never talks to anyone - how she's not in the game at all. How Marty and Frosti have put together an alliance of 5 and are committed to taking out the threats. And who they tell me are the threats on Tarfarts. Marty thinks he can deceive us.... wait till Austin gets a chance to spill the beans over there... I will paint us as a truly disfunctional tribe who always talks nice in public. But is so different in private. And reinforce how much I want to work with them if I am lucky enough to make the merge. But that I think, because they tell me I am stupid and not a threat that they will get rid of all threats first. And that is why Koblenz will lose. And then wave goodbye one by one to Marty first and his entourage right behind him. There is where evil begins its reign. Because at some point - I need Tarfarts to get ahead. Koblenz will throw me to the wolves soon after the merge if I make it that far. I need to separate my feelings for the threats for the people I think I can work with. I need to figure out who those people are. And I need to be over there to figure it out. Otherwise - I'll gun for a Koblenz final 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 & 2. My DNA makes me loyal. How do I change that? |

There is a concern tonight that no one is talking about. And only people who have played before can bring it up. Since Austin is a Noob.... I have to keep my mouth shut. But. With Danielle's absence all week, she may just be voting for herself at tribal. Otherwise, who was her prevote for? That leaves two potential groups of four and four..... Going into a tie. I'm pretty sure Matty and Frosti aren't in league with Stephen. But numbers are numbers. Just something to watch out for. I think we'll be ok. But like I said, Austin can't bring it up... |

Hmmmm... So Rodger comes back. And although we shouldn't deal with it before the challenge - we obviously are all curious about the secret room... But where is Matty? Perhaps he doesn't need to hear it from Rodger because he already knows? Just a random guess. And whether it's true or not - it's good fuel for the fire. I also noticed that Ken and Becky were waiting for Marty over on Koblenz. And Marty couldn't wait to get home. He camped out saying nothing as usual until he got to go back. Marty didn't make any friends over here. That's for sure. Bye-bye Marty. Your time will come soon. |

You know - sometimes Austin has these things he wants to say... but they are so outrageous, I just have to reign myself in.. For instance - Kim just said we wouldn't have a peeping Tom, we'd have a peeping Austin. I really wanted to say: I promise I will not be making a peep. But that's just not something someone from Germany would say, I don't think. Other phrases make a lot more sense - being from the same stone (instead of cut from the same cloth) removing all your hairs (instead of pulling all your hair out) One of these days, I'm going to get a phrase so wrong that once again... 'The cat is no longer in the sack.' Oh Borat.... How you inspire me. (Would this be a bad time to confess that I actually kinda have a crush on Borat?) |

Nah - forget Borat. Let me imagine Austin and John Carroll. I'm gonna have to pay you bigtime for giving me the coolest Survivors. First Gretchen and now Austin. Both classy folk. Great people in the game and out. |

Oh lord - it's like the band playing on as the Titanic sank. Nobody understands the rules except for Rodger. You go Rodger! Help 'em see the light, Pa. |

And THAT - my friends, is how you throw a challenge. Nothing subtle about that.... not even on the board when the challenge started. Not on EITHER one of them. Guess we know who got to Marty. I knew I screwed up in not throwing the challenge on Sunday. |

Seriously, Frosti - you trashed 3 minutes out of a 10 minute challenge. I'm calling for your head tonight. The only intangible is if Marty got an immunity idol for himself and one to give to someone on this tribe. But you wouldn't make a play to use it this fast. We CANNOT run the risk of keeping someone who may have formed an alliance with a member of the other tribe. Too convenient of a mistake - and too fricking long of one... Thus hail the boos from the stands... |

Disgusting. I am in shock. This could mean something crazy is in the works tonight.... But I gotta say - you gotta point the finger at the one who singlehandedy lost it for the tribe. |
