Alright, post-tribal council time. You had a day for a challenge, a day for tribal, but tonight was back to the ol' challenge AND tribal in a single night. James won the immunity, and Morgan was voted out. Let's discuss a few things.

1. How do you feel about the immunity competition with James winning it, and then Morgan being voted out tonight? Did everything go according to plan?
2. I'm noticing some chat rooms popping up. Are you in any of them? How about any alliances or F2 agreements?
3. At this point, is your bounty still something important to you, or has it taken a back seat to your gameplay?

As always, good luck, and if you feel like adding anything else to strategize or vent, feel free to let the lurkers know what's true on your mind!

1. How do you feel about the immunity competition with James winning it, and then Morgan being voted out tonight? Did everything go according to plan?

• I was really wanted to to be James and not Morgan, so I was upset when he won immunity. I feel like that’s what always happens. You could say everything went according to plan, we split up a potential duo. James is claiming they weren’t working together but I’m just not buying it. 

1. I'm noticing some chat rooms popping up. Are you in any of them? How about any alliances or F2 agreements?

• I’m in test (James, paul, michelle, mike, and morgan(rip)) and mykooons (Sydney, voce, mike, paul, and Rodney), but chat rooms are dangerous this season because you can see how many people are in them, which I don’t remember that being the case last season, I could be wrong though. So the only time you can really go into a group is when the majority of people are online. I feel like alliances are thrown around everywhere, I really can’t keep up with them. To me these votes are going to come down to voting blocks, who you want to vote with and not as much as 1 alliance talking over. Idk I could be wrong, but for right now it seems like a lot of people are all connected together somehow. 

1. At this point, is your bounty still something important to you, or has it taken a back seat to your gameplay?

• It’s for sure taken a back seat in my game play because there’s nothing I can do to know who have the first two. I kinda want it to be a guy to go home tonight so I really don’t want to try and scheme up a plan to get rid of michelle. Plus paul and michelle are close and I’ve been talking to paul a lot when it comes to game play so I don’t want to ruin that just yet. 

Other thoughts:

• I feel very much in the middle of this tribe, which is a good thing for now until I keep pissing people off and get caught for this position. I’m going to make a trust ranking because I need to visually see it for myself lol

1. Mike, of course, I really feel like I can say what I’m thinking and feeling, and he won’t go and use it against me. I give him a 95%
2. Stephanie, I’m trying hard to make her feel like us and mike are a trio, I think I can trust her about 80%
3. This is where things get weird, I feel like I can put voce and paul right here at like 65% trust. The funny thing about this is paul said to me last night that voce never really talks to him, so they def are opposite sides of the game which makes things messy for me. But I personally feel like I give them both equal amount of my information. 
4. Sydney, I think she could be a wild card in the game, and I’d want that to be in my favor. I think she’s got a lot of spark in her, and we could possibly work together. I’ll give her a 60%.
5. Rodney, I can’t help but want to talk to him even if it’s not game talk, he’s just so funny and random. I think he’s possibly the one who’s randomly voting for Voce, it has to be either rodney or voce himself doing it at this point. I think I can keep rodney with me like I did last season, I’d give him a 55%
6. Michelle, I think we’re only really connected because of paul. She’s my bounty and if it weren’t for paul I’d probably push for her to go. But I don’t want to mess up that relationship. I think she’s playing super low key, but we have the mutual connection. 50%
7. James, honestly I don’t really mind him as much now that Morgan is gone, I don’t think I’m on his radar at all, and I wouldn’t be opposed for him sticking around a little longer as a shield. But I’m def not giving him information to be used against me. 40%
8. Lastly Naseer, I don’t know what it is with him, I think he’s super vague and saying the same thing to every single person. We didn’t talk at all between the challenge and tribal, I just don’t see any use of him to my game. 20%

• If things could go my way tonight I’d get naseer out, but it seems like James might be gunning after Stephanie. And I can’t have that for my game, so if James has to go then that’s the way it has to be. We can get naseer tomorrow. Luckily naseer wasn’t in the mykooons group, so hopefully those people could get down with it. We will have to wait and see!!
