Stranded in the Andes

1.       Sherea went home tonight. Was this the right move for your game? Why or why not?
Personally, I don't think it was a great choice for any of us. I think she may have not had a ton of relationships, but she was good at challenges and that would have helped us not lose the challenges. I felt like we were starting to get to know each other and so I am not happy with the fact that she went. At this point, I cannot play that hard and try to get people to flip even though every fiber of my being wanted to. It was to early to try to do something like that.

2.       What type of player (strategic mastermind, social butterfly, under the radar, challenge beast, goat, wild card) are you trying to be at this stage of the game? How do you think your fellow tribe members perceive your current player type? Why?
I have absolutely no idea. I would like to say I am playing under the radar. I don't think people realize that I am connected to most people. I can't tell how they percieve me. I feel like they probably just think I am nice and very open. Because I will throw out a few things that hopefully makes them feel like I trust them. Idk though. I don't want to be a challenge beast, but I am most definitely not going to underplay it. We need to win.

3.       Do you have the “right” Survivor rep? If not, what rep would you have chosen for yourself? If the Survivor rep we chose for you suits you, what qualities do you think you share? How are you making your rep work for you if you are?
I think it works well. Since I am Christian and love Jesus that piece definitely matches up. I think Leslie was also a bit under the radar but trying to have more of an influence. I just really hope that I don't go out early like she did.

4.       Tomorrow is a challenge AND tribal council. Now that you have done one challenge for yourselves, what could be in store for you and your tribe? Think you can handle losing and having tribal council soon after?
I am so nervous for today. We NEED to win. It looks like the past few games have all had an unscramble words thing on the second challenge so I have been looking through the Wikipedia in order to get familiar with some of the places. So hopefully we can do well on this. I have also been thinking of some ways that we could go about the challenge. Hopefully it goes well.

5.       Speaking of challenges, what is your stance on physical players? Do you value people in the tribe who are good at challenges and want to keep them around even if they're not the best socially with you?
I think it depends. I think for the most part, yeah, right now we need to win. So if that means keeping someone I don't line up well with, okay. I am hoping that if we keep people who are consistent it will help us win and allow some of us to make it to a merge.

OMG I just realized the title was what Sherea said on the first day.I am dying.

This might blow up my game, but I feel like if Jaime and I can convince JR that he is pulling us together and we make a group we could be set. I felt like we could do something a little wild, but no and that is okay hehe. It was great because Jaime was like that is crazy which I think helped us not seem like a pair LOL. Anyways, I don't want JR out yet because I think he trusts me. I also made sure to tell him before Jaime did and made a group chat to save him, so HOPEFULLY he trusts me a bit more than Jaime. I think we are good though. If we can do this, ESPECIALLY if Aaron and Frosti are on board, we can flip next tribal and get one of them out if we need to do so. I hope that this is actually what is happening and I am not being played LOL.

I hope we win tonight. If not, Jaime and I are sitting in the middle with everyone thinking we have no connections other than whoever we are talking to in the moment. This is PERFECT! The only one who might be catching on to me would be JR, but I think he thinks I am just a bit crazy. So hopefully we win and don't need to deal with anything. But, if we lose, we get Denise out and after we can decide whether JR or Aaron would be the bigger threat at that point. It just depends on how much he starts to know. But I think he believes I am with him 1000%. I need to keep this balance because it could really mess it up. I don't think they will mention me because they all think I am one of their hidden numbers. Hopefully it goes well.

Update to the second part of question two on how I think people percieve me:

Jaime - smart but a little too bonkers. I think that she does trust me at this point and I feel like we tell each other everything. She might be worried I am closer with JR and Aaron. She wants to be the first one to tell them things I think because she wants them to like her more. I think Aaron is totally just using us so I don't mind throwing his and Frosti's comments out, but I don't want her to know JR says I am his #1. I am starting to think he trusts me a bit more, but I don't know and I don't want her to be worried that I am more connected. So I think I need to play down my relationships with the other players so she thinks she knows more than I do. Which could very well be true.

Denise - No offense, but she is going out and I don't know. I think she probably thinks I am stupid considering the fact that she seems to be trying to manipulate people and didn't think I would check up on her information.

Boys - I think the boys, outside of Erik who really is never on, think that I am just little old Leslie who is a sweet Christian but not very smart. JR might be picking up on the fact that I could have some ideas that could work but would be CRAZY. I also think he thinks I am just doing them to save him, so I think that is okay. I think if he picks up on it for real and it seems sketch I can get him out. Frosti and Aaron just think I am the "yes" girl who will do whatever they say AND tell them if someone is talking about them which is good.

If I put it all that work today and JR doesn't show up and everyone flips because of that I will be so mad.

We can't even win against them without an advantage LOL. We are screwed. I hope the plan doesn't change.
