Psych. Awww, HELLZ no. I did NOT call that. Did NOT see that coming. Brobst...that was a stellar blindside, no two ways about it. If I had been on the all women's tribe, maybe, just MAYBE, I might have guessed something like this might happen... But I did not have that foresight. Although Frank and I were just talking TODAY how at this rate, we'd be done by July 26 or 28 or something...and I then swore up and down that you'd said this would end sometime in August. And I still failed to put two and two together. Anyway, everyone is giving you enough kudos for you to be basking in glory for months and years to come, so blah, blah, blah, you rock, yadda yadda yadda. Now I have to think about MY game. Right now...just being social. Both to the new Baikal and to the other tribe (ANOTHER name I have to learn). And reassuring my former tribe that we're all still tight. And yes, I plan to be for now. Only real game chatter I've heard is that Ace said he'd singled me out for some reason, due to performance (great) and was looking forward to getting to know me. As to the future, I'm predicting some more double eliminations and a shuffle before we even get to a merge. Just hoping I can make it that far... I'd love to give more impressions, but have a real important meeting tomorrow morning that I have to be rested for. More on Tuesday evening, I hope. |

A N D . . . *I LOVE THAT YOU ARE ALREADY DIGGING IN TO YOUR NEW CONFESSIONAL.....BUT.....ANYHOO.....* WELCOME TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THE GAME! Some things to ponder from where we are now . . . 1) How do you plan to adapt in this new tribe of ten? 2) What are your thoughts about uniting your tribe against the opposing 10 from the other half.....or could it benefit you to consider working with them? 3) Do you think it's important to try to learn what you can about the other game, or are you only focused on your side of the game? |

Ace told me directly. If I wasn't clear (I was exhausted last night), Ace sent me a note saying I was the one person (I think he said "one") that he was most looking forward to chatting with and getting to know. I asked why, and he said it was because I seemed a solid performer and wasn't one of the more annoying people on our team. I've divulged some small, meaningless things to Ace...that Rupert and Bobby were easy targets and that Sarge was targeted due to tribe friction and lack of a social game. I also said I felt most people here would continue to play along the 5 vs. 5 tribal lines, which was unfortunate for those who wanted to reassess and adapt for the new situation we find ourselves in. Not completely sure I DO think we are in a completely new situation, though. And I currently have no plans to jump ship on my Five. Now, instead of needing to battle to be the Sole Survivor, we're battling (yet again) to keep as many people together in our alliance possible prior to another merge. Although, now I think about the numbers...if there's another merge at 10...best I can hope for another 5 to 5 merge. If we somehow merge with, say 5 Old Baikal, 2 Old Katorga, and 3 Women (Tribe Name Still To Be Learned), the 2 Katorga will likely flip. Hrm. Mike warned me on Ace, though...he's a player. I can already see myself wanting to open up to him. Very much reminding me of Locke, in his communications...dangerous.

So...been almost a full day. And really...no idea what I think. So a quick overview of each person on our tribe: - James and Colby: Still my top two...I have no doubt in them and their loyalty. Famous last words, I know. - Mike: Starting to get a little more active. Starting to let that brain I knew he had from Day 1 shine through even more. - Frank: This guy...got a weird message from him, about how everyone...well, it was just weird. Must cut and paste it: "And surprise, surprise guess who he said he had always had good impressions of on our tribe??? You and me.........is that a common thread or what?? That is exactly what he said that he had "good impressions of Shane and me since way back on the Mountain." Did he mention anything like that to you? Funny thing is I have not mentioned to him at all that you and I were close. I just think it is funny that we keep hearing that from everyone including everyone on our tribe. I mean we obviously know between each other that we have a strong alliance. I'm just now sure how everyone else seems to think that since I have never told anyone that. Does that mean You and I should just move on to the final 2" I have no idea what he's getting at about everyone mentioning we seem to be close or whatever. First off...is that even true? Second off...is he accusing me of something? So hard to tell with this guy... - Ace: Mentioned in my post above that I'm starting to get drawn in by this guy. Easy to talk to...but seeing as he's sharing the same info with everyone, it's starting to lose it's luster a little. - Hunter and Dave: Starting to talk game with them, but more general statements than personal assessments. Often on at the same time, so may be pretty tight. - Jamie: Random banter, not really game related. Don't feel I'm bonding much with him...but trying. - Coach: Haven't even seen him since the merge. |

At this point, does everyone seem to be wanting to vote strictly down old tribal lines.....or are people wanting to reach across? And if so - which direction? |
