Stranded in the Andes

This is the first officialday of your journey in Stranded! You'll have the weekend to get to know your tribe better, I suggest bonding well with each other over the coming days. There were questions in the pre-season confessional, but let's give a couple more.

1. The Tribe Leader is an intriguing position... what do you think it means? Would you want to be it or not? How do you feel of who gets it?
2. People are chatting it up today, so give us the deets: who are you vibing with, who are you more mellow on, etc?
3. Any plans for the weekend? Both in-game or out of it?

Trust me, when we say this game will get real intense and fast once the challenges begin to start after the weekend, we mean it. Good luck! And as always, feel free to type or speak whatever you want in here.

No way in hell I'd put my hand up to be leader. Not gonna happen. I'm sure it won't matter in the long run but for now I'll lay low thanks.

Haven't had too many private chats to be honest. Frosti just messaged me but I think he's asleep now so probably only get chatting tomorrow. I'm a bit concerned about timezones and missing a lot of the bonding that'll happen throughout the day in the US while I'm only waking up in the evening there. I might have to message a bunch of people now and let them know I want to chat later.

In the tribe group people seem to be interested in me. I told them about performing on stage with Green Day which seemed to go down well. I thought about lying about my job but I'm worried I won't be able to keep track of lies. We'll see how we go.

We have a long weekend here so I'll spend it seeing a friend before she leaves the country for a while as well as catching some AFL games (look it up it's the best sport in the world). Hoping to chat with as many as possible. I wonder if everyone else has been going at it. I somehow doubt it but hard to say.

I've seen Green Day live a few times and am so jealous you got chosen for that!!! Wishing you luck here! People tend to be pretty understanding of time zone differences when it comes to the game - we've had quite a few Australians do very well! 

Good vibes from most people. Frosti has invited me to be the 4th with him, Aaron and Jean-Robert which is a positive start. I'm obviously trying to have more than one alliance which I'm sure they are too, so I'm sussing out what the girls have been saying. I don't love the idea of the guys getting together and taking out the girls (is it safe to assume the male avatars are males and females are females?) but I'll do whatever it takes to avoid being first out.

The main weird vibe I've been getting is from Sherea. She was pretty quiet for most of Friday/Saturday and popped up today to say she "doesn't like socialising virtually" and has never seen Survivor. She supposedly heard about this on her local radio station where the DJ talked about it after not being accepted. This really doesn't make sense at all so I'm keeping my eye on her and spoken to Denise and Frosti about her. Props for going for it if it is a lie.

Great effort on the Puzzling challenge tonight. Please share your thoughts about the challenge and tomorrow’s vote with your avid lurkers.

1.            How did the challenge planning talks go down tonight, any surprises there?

2.            How do you feel about your own challenge performance?

3.            Who is being talked about for a potential vote tomorrow night?

4.            As you’ve been getting to know your fellow tribe members, are any working relationships forming?

1. It was a bit chaotic. Sherea popped up as a pretty prominent voice after being pretty MIA for most of the weekend. I don't think it helped her cause in not being the first one voted out.

2. I did fine, I was able to transfer the pieces in as quickly as I could. Frosti messed up it seems. I was happy to be on the transfer rather than solving as it seemed pretty hard to coordinate multiple people solving the same puzzle.

3. Sherea is the only name being thrown around. I'd be shocked if the vote went any other way tonight.

4. I have a solid 4 with the guys. I don't feel amazing about it to be honest but I'll take what I can get. I like Jaime, Denise and Leslie as well so maybe I go with them for the next vote. I'm trying to have a relationship with everyone which I'm sure everyone else is doing as well.
