1st impressions mean nothing.

We are all just trying to get to Sunday's challenge without being chopped or ostracized. So we'll talk it up and do what we need to do to make connections. We'll flirt, use humor, hide behind a so called accent (making it awkward & annoying) or just generically.

We will tell each other stuff to make them feel comfortable and wanting to trust us. We talk about ideas of what we think may happen for clans. We can talk until we're blue in the face about how we need to stick together.

It doesn't matter this early in the game.

What does matter is that you make an effort not to be "THAT" guy who doesn't get picked. However, I have 2 trains of thought of how being that guy could go down.
1. Last picked or whatever...get immunity & chooses the clan he wants & that tribe goes to tribal immediately.
2. Last picked is sent to Exile Island where there is a HII

C'mon Brobst it would be fun!
So, being THAT guy really wouldn't be terrible...that player would need to adapt to the game & come out swinging socially.

So let's look at the players, shall we?
Rupert- hides behind the big personality on the boards & then passes the buck on PM's. He threw a couple of names my way. Then dropped the ball & never followed up. I presume he's doing that with everyone.

Ted & Eliza are those 2 names he threw my way. Both of which seem invested in the game & communicate well. I think Ted will be the one I try to connect with on a deeper angle. He's willing to talk about 1st impressions of the players with me.

Andrea, approached me asked if I had a final 2. HA! That takes balls. No I don't but, I'm willing to talk strategy with you sweetheart. I can see her reaching out to everyone else & using that strategy.

Cochran is a player. He's feeling out the player & who they chat with. I'm not telling him too much. Just being basic with my info & acknowledging what he's telling me.

Debb is ....well.....she needs to drop the act. If she responds to me in her PMs w/that stupid act of Scottish language, via Google translate, I'm gonna scream.

Penny, Troyzan, Spencer, Kenny all seem to want dive into the game....but just walking on eggshells. There is potential with all of them.

Fairplay, Lill, Cindy, Rocky, quiet on the home front.

Who did I miss....?
Dawn, the poor dear. Getting teased about those damned teeth the whole time. Threw a bone to her, giving her some sympathy....see what happens.

Matt, Kat & Vytas - squat from them.

Anyone else....it's all lost in translation.


+++++++++++++++++++++
At this point, I'm just trying to make as many connections as possible. I think I like Ted & Cochran at this point.

I'm not sure I would trust Rupert as far as I can throw him, so I want to keep him close. I need to start good convos w/him, Eliza & Andrea.

Troyzan, Penny, and Spencer ...I'd love to form a little side alliance with them. And really for no reason, other than they can "trust" me. Would love to see what kind of info they bring to the table.

I need to find 3 people I can say I want to go to the final 4 with. 2 of them need to be sheep and the other I need as my go to person and drop them at the final 4. Is that too soon? Perhaps....but, I'm taking the advise of my son & not going to play the loyal card & be nice. I need to take the reigns this time & screw people over. (yeah, we'll see how long that lasts)

I finally got a freaking thumbs up from Brobst? Ohhh puppet master I am not worthy to have that bestowed upon me at this early stage of the game.

Did I die? Am I in heaven? It's...so ...surreal.... *fans self*

Has my thought process changed that much? Have I finally evolved as that player Brobst has always hoped I would be? Only time will tell, my friend.

Pass the peanut butter & chocolate, I'd be happy to drop it all for a piece of that wholesome goodness. (of course you might go blind in the process, but yeah I'd get nekkid for it)

Of course, I know you'd be tempted to drop it for some girl scout cookies ;)
