HOW HAS THE SWAP WORKED OUT FOR YOU SO FAR?


And of the 4 new players on your tribe, who have you chatted with so far and how do your impressions of them from public posts coincide or differ now that you can chat with them one on one?


Weird, somehow I didn't even notice this until now. Sorry Brobst. I think I've probably been too busy with all the craziness!

DangerZone 07212011:

The swap has been a thing of beauty for me so far. If I could have picked the guys that would have been on my new tribe, I would have picked Hunter, Coach, and Frank anyway. I would have considered taking Shane just so he could win a couple challenges for us before we voted him out. But, this is still preferable because I liked Frank more than any other former Baikal member.

As far as the girls go, I'm ecstatic that we didn't end up with Trish. Plus, we got the two girls that were next to go, including Crystal, who we saved by giving her immunity. Now, I'm not dumb enough to think that she will "thank" us for that in any way. But, I am positive that the 4 guys will stick together, at the very least for the first vote. Deena and Crystal have already indicated that they want to vote out Teresa and Ruth Marie because they treated them like crap before and will just hook back up with their "Yeti6" alliance members after a merge (if that happens). They could be lying, but I think there is a FAR better chance of them voting against each other than the guys voting against each other.


Of the 4 new players, I've chatted with Deena the most. Since she is more active than Crystal, she seemed like the best one to approach. She already claims to want the other two girls gone, but in order to entice her even more, I mentioned that I'm well aware that she wouldn't be happy with 5th or 6th in an alliance and that I'm willing to talk about more. We'll see where that goes, but I would imagine that she would at least want to keep ME around for a while if the numbers flipped somehow.

As you know, I have a solid alliance with Hunter all the way to the Final 2. I'm now attempting to add Coach to a Final 3 alliance, which I wanted even before the swap. He says he trusts me 100%, so I feel comfortable with him. Plus, he sucks in challengs and I can't imagine anyone giving him the win at the end over me. HE doesn't even think he can win. Good. The weird thing is, Coach says the only other person he trusts 100% is Ace. BUT, I have damning written proof that Ace wanted Coach gone right after he begged for the Immunity necklace at TC before. I will use that when I need to, in order to cement his trust even further and force him to lose trust in Ace.

Anyway, back to the girls. Crystal has only talked to me a little bit, but she is talking to Coach a lot. If she wants to align with Coach, she will probably vote out a girl tonight (if necessary). And that is all that matters to me right now. I just want that advantage. I WILL be talking to her more.

As far as Teresa and Ruth Marie, they suck. They were sitting pretty, now they are feeling the heat. Teresa is about as transparent as Shane. These people don't seem to realize that there are several smart people here. PLAY DUMB!!!!! It's so easy. It's a subtle art that I think only a few people are doing well so far, including Frank, Hunter and myself. I can't speak for the girls. Ace WAS doing it well, but even he started being obvious, at least to me.

Ruth Marie will be getting the guy's votes tonight if we have to go to TC. She isn't as active as Teresa and we need to win now. It's going to be tough at the challenges because Shane and Ace are good. So, if we lose tonight, she's gone. If we win for a while, I'll make sure Teresa is the first to go.

The only drawback to our team right now is that we seem to have 3 players who aren't very active: Crystal, Ruth Marie, and Coach. That is unacceptable, but I'd rather have THAT scenario than the scenario currently unfolding over at Yo-no-se. (I don't know). With Trish, Shane, Ace and Jamie, they probably never shut the hell up.

I can't wait till tonight. Wanna know why? Cuz ...... I'm........

DANGEROUS!!!!!!! (Goodness, gracious, GREAT balls of FIRE!!)

DangerZone 07232011: (a few days AFTER Ruth Marie was voted off)


I'd say the word of the day is "CEMENT". As in, I've cemented relationships with multiple individuals now. First, we have Hunter. He was already my closest ally, but there was definitely a fear that we would get split up in a swap. Since we didn't, this alliance will remain my strongest until the end of this game (barring another swap of course).

Second, we have Coach. This was something I've desired ever since I realized that Coach was, how can I put this, NOT a very ..... strong player. At that point I was trying to figure out how to get him in my back pocket, ESPECIALLY when I thought that Ace had him locked up. Funny thing about this game though: sometimes the best things happen to you through the worst circumstances. You see, when Baikal and Katorga merged, Coach became the inevitable target for the Baikals if we went to TC. But, Coach asked for and received immunity that night, so the former Baikals voted for me. I'm sure it was because Ace and Jamie and even Hunter are possibly shady and made some deals. But, still I got some votes. Funny thing though. Those votes against me made Coach assume that I was on the bottom (well, right above him) in the ol' Katorga pecking order. And presto chango, it was time for Coach to align himself with me out of this "common bond". Fan-effing-tastic. I made sure to let all the former Katorga members know just how much I "was pulling for them individuall" during that TC "in case" I went home. Of course I stayed (duh) and now I had everyone's faith and trust. Especially Coach's. And to top it all off, I got randomly selected to be on a new tribe with Hunter (my #1 ally) AND Coach (my new buddy). And Coach's ol' flame Ace is on the other tribe. Perfect time for me to pull him in to a Final 3 scenario. So I told Hunter that I would do that and that HE should promise Frank a Final 3 with me and him. That way, we BOTH have one with the other guys that includes each of us. Brilliant if I do say so myself. And I do. But, it gets better.

So, Hunter brings this scenario up to Frank (at my behest of course), and now we also have a Final 3 locked up with Frank/Dave/Hunter. And we've decided to call ourselves "The 3 Little Pigs". Now, why pray tell would we brand ourselves with such a ridiculous moniker? Because it's perfect. You see... Brobst, you are the big, bad wolf that has continually tried to blow our house (our tribes) down. But, we keep rebuilding them stronger and stronger, until we finally have created one so strong (our alliance) that it can't be broken. Now, we just have to stop all these girls from "huffing and puffing" and we are gold.

BTW, I don't really buy any of this crap, but it makes for a good talking point. I'm sick of chatting about booze.


As for the girls, they are all scrambling bigtime. And who can blame them. Right now, we (I) have decided that the boot order (barring swaps etc.) is 1) Teresa 2) Deena and 3) Crystal. Could change though, if I feel like changing it. I also suggested that each of the guys (Frank, Hunter, and myself) promise a Final 3 to one of the girls if we start approaching a merge, in order for them not to swap on us. It has to be that way. If we do that, each of us will screw a girl over on the way to the Final 3 and none of them will see it coming. My key would be to make sure the girls I don't screw over like me more than the other guys.


And if I could somehow end up with a Final 3 of me, Crystal, and Coach? Hmmmm, sounds pretty good right now. We'll see though. We DO still have to beat the other tribe first, or else nothing matters.

And for the record, I'm not cocky. But, it is MY DZ after all.

Stay tuned. Same Danger topic, same Danger thread.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN? HOW ARE THINGS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP FROM WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN? HOW ARE THINGS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP FROM WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?

DangerZone 07262011:

My plan
by Danger Dave Ball

Step 1- Vote out Teresa. Sorry Teresa, but you are far too bright and have too many ties to the other side.

If Teresa made a merge, she would immediately re-align herself with her former Yo-no-se buddies....buddiettes? She talks a big strategy about helping us, and even talked Hunter and Frank into voting out Deena first. Sigh. I was forced to step in and talk some sense to the guys once again. It took a while, but eventually I convinced them that T-Bird has to fly away next. It's a testament to her that she managed to almost buy herself a few more days. I respect her game play tremendously actually. But, she must leave for a guy to win this game. So there ya go guys, if one of us wins you owe me...

As far as when Teresa is going home, let's just say that things COULD get interesting at the challenge tonight.

Step 2- I had already told Hunter that we needed to lock up separate Final 3 deals with Coach and Frank. He agreed and I proceeded to lock in Coach with me and Hunter, while Hunter locked in Frank with him and myself. After that, I decided to take it one step further and suggested that we lock in the girls to "fake" alliances as well, in order to keep them from flipping at a merge.

Step 3- Step 2 panned out a bit differently than I had anticipated, when Deena and Crystal approached myself and Hunter about a 4-way alliance. Sure thing ladies. Of course, I told Hunter that we immediately needed to fill Coach and Frank in on what was going on. The interesting part was their reactions. Coach has seemingly embraced the situation, by playing like he is on the outs and messaging the girls. He wonders to them why he doesn't hear from them much. Frank, on the other hand, was paranoid and wanted to vote Deena out first. He thought that the girls wanted to vote HIM out before Teresa because he misread an emailed conversation between Coach and Crystal that Coach forwarded to him. (yeah, you will probably have to read that one twice Brobst. Sorry.) Anyway, when I figured out where the paranoia was stemming from, I handled it. Now, Frank says he's on board with getting rid of Teresa. Good thing Frank, cuz you really have no choice.

Oh, and ladies? Come up with your own stupid alliance name. I've already got one with the Pigs. Oink Oink baby!!

more to come..

more here....

Step 4- Make it to a merge with at least one of the two girls still in tact. I'd prefer it be Crystal because she might be easier to beat in challenges and really hasn't done much in this game to this point. If we had to take Teresa to the merge, we are effed, as I mentioned before. If we voted out Deena b4 Teresa and then were forced to merge right after, Crystal would turn on us too because she would feel like we betrayed our alliance.

Step 5- If we make it to the merge with all of our guys and Ace and Jamie still around, it's wild-card strategy time. That wild card is Coach. As I've mentioned before, I thought that Coach had a Final 3 alliance (potentially) with Ace and possibly Jamie. I wanted Coach in MY alliance because he will be easy to beat in the Finals. I won't rehash HOW again, but I've gained Coach's trust 100% and I still have written proof that Ace tried to sell out Coach in the past. He suggested voting him out before Shane. I originally wanted to save that proof until I needed Coach to make an emotional decision to get rid of Ace. Now, I may have to do it sooner, just to make sure he's firmly in my corner. He thinks we should throw THREE straight challenges in order to get rid of ALL our girls and save Ace and Jamie. That is just idiotic. We can't project that far ahead and we can't assume that Ace and Jamie will have our back. Now, throwing one challenge to get rid of Teresa? Not so idiotic. She would NEVER help us. I guarantee the 4 Yo-no-sayers are PRAYING to see Teresa make a merge. Not if I can help it. I'd would actually rather have one of either Ace/Jamie go home and one of Deena/Crystal go home. That way we would have a few people that have no alliances. They are easier to manipulate in that case.

Step 6- Win this effin' game.

Sorry Brobst, one more thing. What can I say... I'm Zoning out today.


Coach,

You have been emotional yet loyal in this game so far. However, Danger Dave is not an idiot. I sense that you may be playing a MUCH bigger game that most people think. Your grammar used to be prety bad in your messages to me, and it was atrocious in a PM to Crystal that you forwarded to me. However, in some of your messages that detail some strategy to me, your grammar isn't bad at all. If you are trying to fool everyone than I say "touche". It's not working on me, but it is definitely a good idea.

Oh, and if your grammar is just kinda crappy or you were in a hurry when you wrote some messages, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to insult you.

WELCOME TO THE KORYAK TRIBE!




Soooo...this is where a producer would drag you aside with a camera for some juicy merge gossip like . . .



1) How vulnerable do you feel in this new tribe?

2) Which player or players SHOULD feel vulnerable at this next vote?

3) What is the merge going to come down to? Is it genders.....as in "our old game vs your old game?" Is it more about relationships built from way back when.....or during the combined phase of all ten from the same game......or deals made during the reshuffle........or is this a whole new ballgame and it's truly 12 individuals willing to do whatever to make it through?

4) What is your plan to survive this new phase?

DangerZone 07282011:

1) Vulnerability is many things to many people. To me, it's a word. A very long word, with far too many syllables. As far as my own vulnerability in this game: I'd say it's about as high going into this TC tonight as it has been all game. However, that is not extremely, especially compared to several others. Don't get me wrong, it's VERY possible that I could be a target tonight, strictly based on the fact that the 4 Yo-no-se chicas are likely to target either myself, Hunter, or Coach. On the surface, they will see power there and want to break it up.

Luckily for me, I have an alliance with 7/11 players in this game. Add to that the fact that I haven't really done anything shady (really?) or pissed anyone off, and I SHOULD be safe. Crossing my fingers still ;)


Be back in a sec....it's Danger Dinner time.
