Well damn, the swap came

Firstly can I just say after my P1FU that I TOLD YOU SO! Last chance to boot Shane and bam! Not taken, we're stuck with him. AND guess what, he is on my fucking tribe. So what does that mean? Working with him in the interim. Would I have been better off with Mike? Maybe...the guy would've been easier to control. But alas, it's how it's been dealt.

Challenge tonight was the hardest one by far. Not good with word scrambles and Shane saved our bacon. Good for him, he served a purpose and sure, you can throw that in my face by saying "wasn't it better he was around to have won that challenge for you". Sure. I'll give you that. But still doesn't stop my feelings. So we got to sit in on their TC, which wasn't really that special. The best part of the reward was reading their other TC which I think gave more info than their one tonight. It was easy to see they were picking off the old Abakal girls one by one and Trish and the gang really weren't afraid to show their feelings off them which I thought was a bit harsh. Given that we had a Katorga majority we still didn't rub it in their faces, and I'm sure something like that can come back to bite them in the ass. Another twist came too in us having to vote one of them for the immunity, and Crystal was the easy choice and thankfully other agreed. That meant Linda was gone, not really a surprise but hey, it had to be one of them.

SOOOOO afterwards scrambling turned into the twist, and while it isn't as bad as it could've been, it's still a pretty tricky situation. Ace is on my side which is great, but then again I have Shane and James, which are the two old Baikal guys who were next on our chopping board. To top things off, neither Crystal or Deena are on our side to try and sway AND I get stuck with Trish. Oh joy to the world.

So it's now time to rethink how this is going to go down. I got enough face time in with Dave & Hunter before hand to know they are down for a Katorga final 4 when we merge, so if we all survive that long, it's good to know that's still the plan. It's getting that far which is the hardest on our side. They have the ability to get Deena and Crystal on their side and pick off Ruth-Marie and Teresa. That's great. But now on this side we have 4 old Yenisei girls, and the two strongest in Trish and Gretchen. So really, how to play this? Well I have a few options to go by:

Stick with the boys and take my chances: This option could work, and force a tie and then say get Trish out straight away. But there are potential downfalls to this option too. I think we all are going to try and make them believe all 4 of us are split, so with Ace & I and Shane and James. That way we can try and either pick one of the girls off or get them to somehow do a split vote for us to easliy take one out. Potentially though, Shane is playing me and he could easily side with the girls and get one of us gone. James too...but I don't think he has the smarts to do that. It's really a 50/50, but that's the public face I'm going with for the tribe at this stage.

Take Ace aside and side with the girls to vote out Shane & James: This is a risky strategy and one that can maybe only work if we win at least the first challenge and hopefully the first two to avoid the first 2 vote outs. How it would work is tell the 4 girls that Ace and I will side with them making us a 6-way group to get rid of James and Shane, and say that when we merge we can form up with the other guys to pick off the likes of Frank and Coach who we can say we aren't down with. We would be honest with them and say our plan was to side with Crystal and Deena as they were on the outs, and that more than likely Ruth-Marie and Teresa are in danger. That way if either of them went at the first TC if we win, then they would have facts backed up and realise it's just them 4 remaining from Yenisei and they would be in trouble if a merge came going up against the potential 6 from Baikal. It's a long winded solution, one that would have to be planned out perfectly and one that Ace would have to go along with, which I'm not sure if he would.

Side with the girls myself to vote out Shane and James and hope Ace takes it on board after my flip: this is the most risky one, because I have the potential to piss Ace off enough he would flip on me. However, if it worked, and I explained it to him, he could then side with me. It's very similar to my second option, but more of a risk as I would keep Ace out of the loop which as I just said, can easily backfire. This option in no way would mean I would go to vote Ace out, absolutely not. But it's another way of trying to save myself and Ace till the merge to get back with Dave and Hunter, as well as potentially Frank.

The thing too is we won't know how much Dave and Hunter as well as Frank will get swayed into anything over there. I do trust them, as I trust Ace, it's just a matter of things playing our way for a bit in order for this to work. My number one priority is for the P14S to be intact for a merge, because then it gets a little bit easier. All I know is come Friday, winning the challenge is going to be key

So, of the 4 girls on New Yenisei, 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?

I've messaged each of them individually to say hi, and so far all but Jill have replied. But I seem to recall her being unavailable for tonight anyway so that doesn't matter.

And from what was said, no perceptions have changed. Scout seems week and not realy all there, that's it. But Gretchen and queen bee Trish are easily in control and very cocky about it too. So some general shop talk was had, and I'm trying to take on Trish at her own game. Will it work Brobst my man???? Who knoooows....but let's hope for the best shall we??!

For fucks sake, I can now honestly say I know what living in hell is like. Because Trish is hell personified. I think that Brobst you should rename Yenisei "Trish" because seriously, it's her tribe, and she fucking knows it big time. There is something seriously wrong with this woman in real life too, and I'm guessing she is a woman, at least in her 30s/40s and with serious serious power issues. Damn....

Since the swap, things have been tense. Well ok not tense, just lots and lots and lots and lots of talk. I think it's been established between Ace and myself that we are working with Shane and James no matter what now. And seriously, I think I have to agree with them. I really couldn't flip and work with with Trish, even if it meant guaranteeing she was gone first on the Jury, coz seriously, not only is this woman power hungry and a pain in the ass, she is also a smart player. She knows just when to ask for info and then when to shut up when it comes down to the juicy stuff. Her mistake thoug is that it's me that's she's trusting, and none of the others. I'm seeing myself as one with many faces in this game so far, but deep down the one face is a player and one who has the smarts to take this on. And by putting on my "oh shit yeah I'll work with you Trish you are smart and you can take me far" face on, it hopefully gives me a tiny bit of an in. Even the smallest in is better than nothing, and even if we fail in taking the bitch out, it at least means that hopefully I'm safe for at least the first TC. But let's run down how things have happened shall we?

Trish came to me with a message entitled 'business', which essentially was her way of trying to find out as much about our tribe as possible. Turns out I was the only one to get this message so I flaunted the opportunity and went along with our 'tribe being divided' excuse like I discussed earlier. I told her Ace & I were together, and Shane & James were together and we would Shane and James gone, and she essentialy was like "i can make that happen". Really. She flaunted her 'all powerfulness' that quickly and open with me. She thinks she can make anything happen that quickly, it's almost laughable, and I'll tell you now, if she really does and pulls off this entire game, I'll be the first to walk up to the bitches face and tell her she played a good game. But no, it's all fucking talk and we need to cut her throat quick sticks to get her stench out of this game. I basically when it came down to it told her I want Shane gone, information which I shared with the guys and made sure they knew so they don't think I was flipping on them. Shane was cool with it, and I do honestly think that come to a tie vote he'll be the best one to take her on. And besides, looking at it, it would be between Shane and Trish going home should it come down to that, and they're the 2 I want gone most in this game so it works out well! :lol: but also having said that, should Shane fail and he leaves, then BANG Trish knows I'm not with her and I'm then no doubt next. So it's a risky strategy. But if it works, then ding dong the witch is dead, and I'll happily dance on her grave and piss her torch out. And yeah, Ace, Shane and James will be lining up behind me for a turn too.

My uttmost hope for the challenge tomorrow is this. If it's not a double boot with both tribes goin to TC, then Baikal lose (or even somehow think to throw the challenge) and go to TC, they vote off either Ruth Marie or Teresa and then we can use the fact that the old Yenisei 6 are in trouble. That way Ace and I can almost flip in order to save the Katorga 4 for the merge and sacrifice Shane and James in order to do so. But that' still stomething that altough yesterday I was probably down with, now I'm not as much due to the Trish Factor. Another option would be it's a double boot for the losing tribe and then Ruth Marie and Teresa both go home. Or, if we both go to TC, then the losing tribe takes 2 home and we win and only kick one out, with Ruth Marie, Terese and TRISH all going home. Obviously should there be the chance to give away immunities in this challenge I would hope if the boys get to choose they would give it to either myself or Ace, and think ahead that far. We would no doubt try and give it to Hunter or Dave or maybe even Frank. I think Coach is a no no :lol:

Ugh, 28 inbox messages when I logged on. Had to keep giving the "Hard day at work excuse", because obviously being on the otherside of the world i'm sleeping! I think I could get away with telling them i'm in Australia now as they no i'm always here, but I'm not going too as I don't want to risk giving away personal information and getting the boot and meh, it's really not any of their business until this game is done!

So clearly tonight Trish has implimented a code of silence on her side. Not one message from the wench in the lead up to the challenge. Smart on her behalf? I would hardly say so. She clearly has the impression that no matter what happens, she has control and it's her game. Well I can tell her now she is as deluded as she is fucking annoying. Because nobody in the Yenisei tribe has any power until the first TC vote. That's when we work out who really has the power and how the rest of the game will go. My mission tonight if we go to TC, is to get that bitch out, and if it means one us guys home in the process, then fine. But all hell be raised afterwards should that happen. No matter what, I stand before this Confessional right now and will happily declare that Trish will not win this fucking game. Period.

He said Im weak, and not all there, nice ;)

Im really enjoying the Jamie confessionals. He gives us alot to read. What makes them more fun, is how sure he is about so many things, yet so wrong about alot of them. Granted, everyone is wrong about alot, even the ones that went really far. But Im really liking yours for some reason, Jamie.
You really gave these great effort, esp. for a newbie.
Some good reading here, thanks for bringing some passion.

I was apparently an evil ringleader.

More like I was running around the decks of the Titanic with a roll of duct tape, post iceberg, desperately trying to patch up a sinking ship until the USS Katorga came along...only to find there was no room on that cruise line for a deck-hand named Shane.
