Stranded in Mykonos

I want every episode to be named after ravioli in some way 

never in my life have i been more scared than when rodney asked me "do you like caterpie?"

i KNOW there is a right answer and a wrong answer... he's gonna determine if he can trust me or wants to target me based on this one single question 

Caterpie is a soft bitch

y'all... its quiet.... too quiet. Idk what's going on.. 

Like no ones online?? i just wanna talk and game and talk :(

1. Ahh sequences, the age-old memory game favorite. Tell me in three words how much you love that challenge.
reading is fundamental 

okay more words now: i really love that challenge, love testing my memory and keepin the ol' noggin running well. I didn't think i'd do the best at it! but in all my graciousness i decided to fuck up and let these other, weaker, minds have a chance at winning 

2.There was some last-minute scrambling after the immunity challenge, were you in on it? What did you make of it?
i dont know?? was what i was in on the scrambling? Or was there other scrambling happening?? 

Well what i DO know, is that basically everyone wanted James out.. and James had a plan to get me, voce, rodney, and hali together to vote Stephanie out. Only one person went along with that, best guess is Rodney? I'm not really sure but that's who i'd lean towards. And if not him then Voce. But I had told voce like less than a minute before tribal that james didn't have the numbers so perhaps that clued him in. 

I'm gonna level with y'all - the lack of communication has got me frazzled. Like on paper, it really seems like there's not much chit chatting going on? It feels like no one is planning anything right now, and we're all just sort of in the same boat of "lets wait and see what happens!" And that doesn't work if we ALL do it.

Part of me hopes i'm wrong and that there's a lot of gaming going on behind my back bc it feels weird to be given this second chance and we're all just twiddling our thumbs lol. I'm not excluding myself from that too, like i am not a "take leadership role" kinda gal. Maybe that's all of us. It feels like whoever steps up and takes charge is just putting the target on their back next. That happened in my last org - whoever led a vote was then promptly voted out. So my gameplan was to just be in everyone's ear and know what was going on and plan around that, then near the end i kicked it into overdrive w all the  knowledge i had gained. 

It's just... where is everyone?? Am i missing something? 

3. James talked about some sort of horizontal totem pole tonight in tribal. Where are you on the totem pole? Extra points for drawing the totem pole.
I was closer to the bottom of it according to him; Rodney and Voce at the bottom, then wittle ol' me right there. I honestly don't feel like im any lower than most people here - which makes sense if its a horizontal pole lmao. What I do know is that i was in the two main alliances formed on either "side" - Hali is in the same boat with that so i reckon she's the one playing the most similar to me now. 

I don't think im in any position to be a lock for who gets voted off next. If i fumble the ball then sure, but i can still see a world where i make it to the end right now. 

Maybe i'll draw the totem pole for ya later 

4. If you were a ravioli, what kind would you be?
I would be a butternut squash filled ravioli with a browned butter sage sauce. It's very autumnal and im an autumn girl. The butter represents how i can slip out of any precarious situation, the nut is because im a nut, and the sage represents my infinite wisdom. and also weed. 

5. Be honest, did you ever buy the story that James and Morgan weren’t working together?
lol the bluntness of this question! Um welll... no LOL! Since that "test" alliance James put together, he was the one wanting to add morgan to it. So the literally were working together. Granted we didn't really get any work done in that alliance, but i remember telling him i felt good w stephanie and he was like "okay ya! so morgan it is!" 

I do believe that they came in telling each other they were gonna try and work with other people, but i feel it was more so to get rid of any perception of being a duo. I dont think they'd ever actively go after each other unless it was crucial to each other's game. Which again, they probably told each other it was fair game to do that. 

It's like me and paul, we said that everyone will prob assume we will work together, so we just decided not to really hide it. Ya we're working together but also with other people. I'm aware of the fact that others will want to split us up, and i can only try to push it on paul instead of me if that situation arises. But we said to each other, if the tribe thinks we're working together no matter what, then we might as well? Why cut off a trusted ally just because other people see us as a duo. They'll see it even if we aren't so i'm gonna get any use i can out of having a friend here! 

6. Please rank (in text) the remaining houseguests below based on how much you trust working with them moving forward
1. Paul: nuff said

2. Voce: nuff said; only downside of voce is im not sure what sort of influence he has/will have. Granted idk what influence i have lol, so i need to be w someone who has lots of sway

3. Mike: kinda tied with Hali, he seems mostly genuine. But probably being like that with everyone! We talk about having a core four of us, paul, and hali, so that's why he's up here as well. Also talk about wanting to be on the same page for votes and things like that. 

4. Hali: see mike for reasons why she's here. Same thing! me and her are playing similar games and running in similar circles. We both know we were both added to those two alliances, which could be used to build trust over the shared secrets we have over one another? But also those alliances have barely any talking in them so. 

5. Rodney: mr wildcard tbh! lolll, i don't trust him but he's fun to talk to. he said that "sydney told him to talk more with me" and if thats true im not sure why? Does sydney want to work with me? Does she need rodney to build a closer alliance w me so she has more solid numbers? Either way he seems free-flowing w info, and whether its true or not, its something that i can store away for future use. 

6. Stephanie: She's really nice and i want to see a world where she moves up. We just have to have more actual game talk. And this does count for everyone to some extent. The unanimous votes each time were easy to start out with, but now has left me with wondering where loyalties truly are, and what individuals actually want!

7. Sydney: this is mostly due to the fact we talk the least. And if she WAS telling rodney to talk to me more, it's like, okay u can talk to me more too then! But i'm aware she may have other IRL priorities rn that keep her from being as active as she'd like to.

So my trust rankings are always pretty fluid, much can change in an instant. The only two i would say are locked in is paul and voce. Mike and hali are close to locks bc of this unwritten 4 we have, but again no official alliance has been made. Idk if its bc none of us are down for this for the long term, OR bc we're all so scared of being clocked for being in an alliance together. I'll lean towards the former bc its spicier. 

also i am sorry im not confessing as much!! it feels as tho the last few votes were pretty cut and dry so not sure what i could add. And also my irl life is too boring to share snippets from. 

and speaking of the irl life, i've been really busy trying to split my time between work, woodworking (have to get these done before christmas), irl friend groups (have movie nights and game nights at least once a week each), and stranded! And i wanna show this game the respect it deserves so i wanna make more time for it. and todays my day off so im sooo ready... but NO ONE IS ONLINE! 

ohoho time to touch some subjects i see

i fell asleep last night trying to figure out who was my "i never wanna talk to u again" answer bc everyone here has been a mild delight at the very least. 
Just answered Sydney bc i think i have the least words exchanged which is a bit of a cop-out, but i'd talk to all these hoes after the game. 
 

so one thing u gotta know about me is i love to be paranoid - i think it started when i was blindsided out of my very first org ever. 

As im aware, i have a 4 with Paul, Hali, and Mike. Now earlier this morning Voce also told that Sydney and Rodney want us to work together as a 4. This feels confirmed by Rodney? Who just told me now that Sydney says i'm the one she feels closest to here or something. Which i feel bad bc i wasn't aware of all that oops! if its true that is lol! 

So now i'm in the spot i hate being in and thats one of making a decision. I seem to be between these 2 groups of 4 right now and i don't want to upset anyone. Ugh being likeable is stupid i wish i was an asshole. I'm in my just wanna tell everyone everything era, and see where the chips fall. Then eat the chips. 

And it also hasn't gone unnoticed that i was in a 3-way tie for "most likely to go home", which means not many people said my name but still enough did! So what am i missing? 

ah im just fucked huh? 

rocks has always been my dream, one of these days... we. will. rock. 

gah, lol - feel like rodney may be upset w me oops. whatever i still like him and im gonna miss him. He was funny i just wish we connected earlierrrrr ugh.
