Round 1 - "The one with one of the worst starts ever"



Alright, so I know that I had a slow start with the challenge however, you can't really say that I did have a really slow start off since I've been on AIM everyday and I've started to meet whoever had come online and let me tell you that's not a whole lot of people.  The first person who I "met" was Sean, he seems pretty chatty but sometimes takes long to reply back.  I don't know he seems to be the type to have spoken to everyone already and from the looks of it seems extremely active in the tribe, he may be the one to watch out for in the end and maybe one of those people that will end up blindsided, I'm calling it now.   
Candice was the next person to approached me and second to Sean that have always been coming online that I see anyways.  She's seems really genuine and we both talked about how we got off slow with the challenge; we're pretty much almost in the same boat.  I think she can be great to work well with in the long run, we've been getting along great.   The next I met was Abi just last night.  She messaged me saying that her comment in tribal was just her portraying Abi's character. (Lol)  Other then that, she's nice.  I can tell that she's going to be a huge gamer in the long run and go out with guns blazing.    
Tina is the next person who I've spoken to and only by PMs.  I haven't seen her on AIM, she seems only a PM person.  It seems like she messaged me because she saw my comment in tribal and sent me an "it's okay" message then we're just generally talking now and getting to know each other.   I finally got a hold of Carter just recently today, I wanted to talk to him and say thanks for sticking up for me in tribal, when I saw that, I know he could probably be someone to have my back in the future. He's apparently from Europe though, so with the time difference, I'm not sure how long he will last if he doesn't have good bonds with the rest of our tribe.  :/  

Everyone else, I haven't gotten to meet yet, no one seems like coming on AIM from this tribe all I see is mostly people from the other tribe online.   Anyways, from the ones that I spoken to, I think Candice and I are most likely to become fast allies.  I like to stick with with Sean for now as I can tell he could be a big player and you want to stick with big players in the meantime, right?     And Carter is also someone who I like to keep by me as well.

Round 2 -

If we end up losing, I'm all for evicting Natalie. I saw her popped online and bitch didn't even post anything. Carter at least has an legit reason and I rather not vote him because of his timezone yet.

[Kim Spradlin]

So the vote got switched over to abi because she's dangerous and shady as he'll in the long run and we ever have a swap coming, we can't have that. I'm find with abi going, I never connected with her too much. I just told her that she had my vote to save her to shut her up.

[Kim Spradlin]

Also abi thinks she also might have Albert but I know that can't be right. I'm sure Albert is voting her out so really she doesn't have majority.

[Kim Spradlin]

Omg we're so indecisive

Round 2 & 3 - The one with the most indecisive tribe



Well last round was crazy, I can't imagine how the votes kept on changing between Natalie and Abi.  At first, I did want to vote Natalie out because I was sick of losing and I saw that bitch popped online and didn't post anything, I guess you can say I was frustrated with that.  
After that challenge, I spoke more with the rest of the tribe as we came to the condenses that the vote was going to between one of those two girls.  Sean had brought up a good point that it seems like they were trying to throw it since Abi came on and didn't post her letters til so long ago and everyone all thinks that she's been acting so shady within' our tribe.  With Natalie, she was just weak, not social able and pretty much didn't do anything when she popped online.  So it was Sean and Tina that wanted to vote Abi  and tried to swayed us.  Then Candice and I ranted about how frustrated we both were with Natalie's behaviour and Candice wanted to sway the vote to her.   It came down to myself, Carter and Albert deciding what we were going to do.  At the last minute, I spoke with each of them individual and we went back on the original idea of voting out Natalie instead of shaking it up, since it's a bit early for that.  

Anyways, this round was intense!  I so thought I was going to bottom 2, thank goodness I didn't.  I had major brainfarts while doing the challenge.  So it was between Candice and Abi.  I mean this was kinda easy for me to choose: 
1. Candice has always been more on my side then Abi and plus, we clicked on Day 1.
2. Abi's reputation from last round didn't help her with the tribe as she just comes across as shady and not trustworthy
3. If we swap tomorrow, I need someone who I know will be loyal to me.  

OOHHH, Albert and I were kind of comparing things of what Abi has said to us tonight and she pretty much told me that she had Carter and Albert's votes locked and that I'm the swing vote.   Apparently, she has told Albert that as well but instead he is the swing vote. lmfao  Who knows, maybe she told Carter the same thing.   hahahah Girl does not know how to play this game.  What an amateur move, doesn't she know that people will compare notes?!  
Candice didn't really need to campaign for herself, Abi pretty much did for her by throwing herself into a deep hole. 

So yeah, that pretty much sealed my vote for Abi as she is not to be trusted. She plays the soft card and pretends to be your BFF but I see through her. I never considered myself close to her anyways.

Round 4 - The one with the swap



Crazzzzzzzy round this turned out to be.  Going back to the beginning, Sean and Ciera were the most "likeable" and got to pick new tribes.  Let me say, it was pretty interesting.  Obviously, I knew Carter and I would end up on the bottom of our tribe and I honestly did my rank strategically because I knew a swap would be coming. 
So let's say, Sean's tribe picking revealed a lot and pretty much what I thought a couple rounds ago; that he was very close to Tina, and of course he picked his partner: Vee and Tina's partner: Katie.  So you can say he picked a tribe of his friends.  I was actually glad to not have end up on that tribe.  But I was worried for Chelsea and Candice's sake knowing that there's a majority of four.  Candice messages me later on saying that she did not like how the tribes ended up and knew she would be screwed.  

Anyways, I ended up with Albert and Carter.  I'm glad I ended up with Carter as we've been growing to trust each other slowly and I knew I could count on him since the first tribal we had together.  With Albert, sure I can trust him right now, but I know I probably can't in the future.  Christine and I spoke together and we thought that Albert could be the dark horse and would be harder to take out later since we think he could have so much game in him.  (And Sean, well everyone knows that he already has a huge target on his back and pretty much revealed his alliances; I called it from Day 1 that he was going to be a big player; those people like that, you just know). 

(Christine and Vee wins immunity in an individual "true colours" challenge) 

Christine and I also talked and she mentioned that she was only close to Chelsea back on their old tribe and she wanted to bring me in for an alliance which I accepted.  I also mentioned that I really liked Candice and since they were partners, it would be great if the 4 of us could all work together.  She also told me a lot of stuff like how she isn't that close to Ciera; Ciera is very close to Pete and that Sophie and Pete were the weak players and non sociable. With Christine wanting to make an alliance with me just tells me that she could be seeking out a new game, new alliance since she probably felt on the bottom of her old tribe which is awesome for me since had old Nyoka stuck together, I had a feeling Carter or I would've been doomed since Albert would've had Sophie; his partner. 

Anyways, the swap worked well for me.  Ciera also mentioned that she likes me and knows my SN from somewhere which is funny because I don't remember playing with her before.  Lol The SN looks familiar but I don't know her.  So she says she wants to trust me and dadadada, I'm going to go with it for now.  Christine says to not really trust Ciera too much 'cause she thinks she's close to Albert and Sophie and has Pete under her wing.

That pretty much helped me figure out how to vote as both tribes had to go to tribal council!  Christine and I spoke a lot on the vote last night and we came to the conclusion that we wanted Pete or Sophie to go. Both were kinda weak in challenges and both are non sociable which can lead to being huge wild cards or probably just floaters who will follow their leader (Albert and Ciera). We thought about doing Sophie first because then it would be easier to get rid of Pete after that way, if Ciera was close to Sophie and Albert, it doesn't tie the next time we go to tribal.  We had to be careful what we say to Ciera and Albert; pretty much I tried to force things out of Ciera instead of me laying it out to her when I spoke to her about the vote.

 
---
This afternoon, Carter and I spoke and (now I haven't mentioned anything about the vote to him at all) he says to me that Albert and Sophie would vote Pete, I threw in Christine too so Carter would think we have majority. (I'm sure everyone was just saying whatever Carter wanted to here though since his name also got brought up)
When Albert and I spoke earlier today, he was set on Carter to go, however, I was also speaking with Christine on the side and we were trying to find ways to bring up to Albert that Pete should be the one going.  I pretty much listed my reasons straight up (non talker, weak, non trustworthy, wildcard) to try to convince him.  He then says that, if there is a majority for it and Christine will change her vote since he says that Sophie hasn't spoke to him and doesn't know what she's going to do (which I don't buy 'cause they are partners).  So I told Christine to speak to him and work her magic and voila we got the vote to change to Pete, so Albert was set on us, Christine and Carter voting Pete and I told him to message Sophie incase she comes back on.
.
I also spoke to Pete and he was lame because on top of that, Christine and I were also finding ways on seeing if we could also get a vote onto Sophie but it doesn't help because we don't trust Pete.  
Next, I spoke to Ciera, she wasn't very talkative tonight and I had a feeling something was up with her.  I know she knows the vote was between Pete and Carter and she wanted to vote Carter because he was throwing her name around and they don't get along.   I still want her to trust me so I told her that I was straight up voting for Pete because of my basic reasons as well as, I mentioned that Sophie is another non talker and we never know what's going on through her mind. Long story short, I convinced her to vote Sophie but then Christine brought up a good point saying that Albert has already placed his vote and I remembered that, I didn't want to go against him after telling him that I was voting Pete since he can probably turn it against Christine and I and Ciera told Christine that he has a double vote; I also said that, hopefully we can do a Sophie vote next round if we lose and I told her that I'll try to calm Carter into not targeting her 'cause I don't need that for my game right now, I need both Carter and Ciera with me so we can target Sophie next.

So right now, I think Pete was a good choice for me since I made Carter, Albert and Ciera happy and everyone still trusts me! Yay!  Christine and I are slowly running this tribe.   The vote was Carter and we did a lot to change it to Pete.

In other news, Chelsea says she got a double vote!  Whooo!  
And boo, I'm sad to see Candice got voted out. ugh this sucks.

WOW! Now that's a confessional!!!! <3
*cheers for Kim in front of the screen*

Are you worried about Chelsea?

[Kim Spradlin]

I was but now it's probably a little worried now.

Sean spoke to me today saying that he and Vee wants to worked with Chelsea and I and mostly likely Tina and Katie, basically have the pairs stick together since "we'll be targets at the merge". Sure, I ran with the idea but do I really plan on sticking with the pairs? Not a chance. I know Carter and Eddie are probably going to be the next pairs to leave so, if it's 3 pairs working together and once we get to 6, I don't trust any of them that I will make it past 5th or 6th. Chelsea says she has a good relationship with Katie but that's her.
(Albert and Sophie are another pair, however, Christine and I will try to make Sophie the next target if we lose in the challenge).

Anyways, right now I seem to be in an okay position since I have people that want to "work" with me and they have their people tied to them.  Like, Sean- Vee,  Carter, Christine, Ciera, Albert for now and he has Sophie.

[Kim Spradlin]

I rather take both 20min penatly, it's better then a time of 40 and 80mins!

Round 5 - 

We lost the challenge but I can't say I was too bummed about it; I hate puzzling like that! Anyways, Sophie was indeed the next target and we were all set to vote that way.   Until...   Albert approached me saying that he, Sophie, me and Carter should vote Christine or Ciera because his theory is to have as many couples in the merge to gain the prize and "go against the other side's couples"  meaning, Sean/Vee, Katie/Tina.   He was saying that, he trusts Christine more and wanted to push the vote to Ciera.  I honestly was not up for the plan at all.   
A) I didn't want to vote Ciera or Christine, both are useful to me in the long run and they both want to work with me.
B) I don't trust Albert having an idol (thinking that will be our prize).  
I've never felt close with Albert nor have trusted him, I was just forced to have to work with him when I needed to.   My logic was that, since Sean told me the other day that he wanted all the couples in the merge and now Albert was saying that, I still got a feeling that they are close and Albert could be playing both sides if we let him in the merge.  He says that, he would vote off Sophie if he has to because she's kinda hard to rely on for a vote but doesn't want to until merge so he'll get a possible idol.  Which goes back to B; I don't trust Albert having an idol.  
So then we continued talking about the "Ciera vote" thinking that what if Sophie doesn't come online and know about it, "we figured" that we should mention it to Christine to see if she'll "vote" Ciera.  

I went to Christine to warn her about Albert's plan and that he'll probably approach her soon to talk about voting Ciera and to pretend that she didn't hear about it yet.  I did that because I didn't want to go along with that plan and was hoping her and I can do something that we want.  That's when we came up with blindsiding Albert. (Oh yeah, Albert just told me last night that he got a double vote which I knew from Christine who knew from Ciera).  Pretty much, we just don't trust him and bringing to merge with an idol would be dangerous, I can't have that.  I don't want 5 idols floating around and having 3 around that I don't really trust would go my way.  

Next we had to speak to Ciera and Carter to get them on board.  We told Carter that Albert told Ciera that he was targeting her and I messaged Carter more details and pretty much just threw Albert under a bus to him to get him to agree to vote with me; which seemed to work; I used my points that I mentioned here.  And we told Ciera that Albert was pushing her to go which sealed  the deal for her vote since both her and Carter felt betrayed by him and thought he was close to each of them.  Lol  I get the feeling that he was playing everyone and only looked out for himself, the keeping partially inactive Sophie til merge to get an idol was enough of an eye opener for me to know that he's only looking out for himself and will do whatever.  

In other news, Vee is trying to talk to me and it seems like she's trying to get close to me and fish for info.  I have to assume that Sean probably told her to talk to me since he thinks I'll be close to him in the merge and I mentioned that I don't know Vee yet because we haven't been on the same tribe.  Whatever, it's kinda annoying and I hate doing the whole cross tribe talk thing ya' know?  If you're not on my tribe then I don't want to talk to you.  

 

[Kim Spradlin]

This round is lame, no one's been online in the past few days so I have no idea wtf is going on. I'm going out on a limb and voting Sophie, I spoke to Chelsea to vote her and pm'd Ciera, Christine and Carter to do the same. Worst comes to worst, it ties OR, Sophie votes whoever or selfvotes.
