Ancha won the challenge, your tribe sent the lunch lady home, and you made it past the first week! Please share your thoughts with your fans.

1.    Did the right person go home tonight? Should someone else have been sent packing? What impact will it have on the dynamics of the game moving forward?

2.    The HetDensa challenge scrambled more than just letters and tested your teamwork. Did each of your tribe members contribute equally? Any major gaffes? How well did your tribe perform as a unit?

3.    Surviving week one in Stranded requires social finesse, strategic prowess, and strong competition skills. Which of these skills was your strongest this week? How did you wield it to protect your spot in the game? Which area is your weakest? What will you do to overcome it?

4.    In the wild world of Stranded, emotions can run high. How have your own emotions influenced your strategic moves in the game?

5.    Please share an update (visually or in words) on your alliance situation or lack thereof.

Several of you have been making some pretty fantastic confessional videos. If you haven’t already, we welcome you to record at least one (reasonably brief) video on YouTube, mark it as 'unlisted,' and share the link here as your confessional response. You can express your thoughts about the game, share insights from your personal life, and discuss your answers to these confessional questions.

1. Uh, I'd say sending Denise home was the safest move. Most of us felt the least trusting about her, and honestly I had no good feelings towards her either. 

2. No I don't think everyone contributed equally but I also think we did as well as we could have and no one dragged is down. Denise was working on the bonus word but Aaron was so quick. 
Sorry but idk what gaffes means. If you could explain I'll give you an answer. 
as far as the tribe as a whole I am very proud with how we performed, thats why i tried to fight the rule calls and all that. Just trying to stick up for my team

3. I think social fitness and the competitive  ability were my strongest points. I have a good group if allies. I only think I'm good competitively though due to the team freely wearing me for responsible roles, they scare me shitless. 
I think my strategy had been a little weak, only because I'm not sure about making certain moves as to not ruin my alliance qith Aaron.

4. My emotions, well starting with not quite an emotion, my conscience. It is keeping my from telling lies to the other tribe mates even if I feel it would be a good move. This old be a positive though, I think honesty will serve me good at the end if I make it there. Besides that my competitiveness has obviously showed its face on the last challenge arguing with the outcome. I feel like the soccer player arguing with the ref for a bad call. 

5. I feel the alliance "the boys" which us me, Aaron, Erik, and Jr is pretty weak. Besides Aaron I don't talk to the other 2 too much, but it feels safe. Besides jr, idk why I have suspicion about him, I have no reason too. But with me, Aaron, and leslie, that feels like a real good alliance. If we went to final 3 it would be down to me and Aaron but I'd be OK losing to either. I really like leslie and Jamie. Leslie and I talk about babies and her pregnancy, Jamie is in a similar life and mommy situation as my wife and talking to those 2 is very familiar.

I'll see about making a video, but honestly this past month has been probably the worst of my life and this game is impacting my life in a hard to explain way. The wife was 6 months pregnant and we lost the baby at the end of last month. So talking about this game would be positive but talking about how it is impacting me and how I feel due to weird reasons brings up a lot of very sad feelings. And I'm crying now so ima stop this message. Thanks for the questions

No worries at all, type where you want and what you want, that's what your confessional forum is all about. And share only what you're comfortable with sharing and discussing ❤ Sorry for you and the mrs.

Had almost the exact situation while I was in game.  It was a good outlet for me and I hope it can be for you.  Thank you for sharing something so personal and you have an entire community supporting you.  Have fun, play hard, "no ragrets"

Never apologize for making it heavy. This game really does bring that kind of stuff out even if it isn't necessarily related to what's happening in the game in the moment. Channel that however you need and you've got a group of weird parasocial relationships here to support you too! ❤

Oh Frosti, and Tommy, I'm so sorry to hear this. Losing a baby is an incredibly difficult and painful experience for both parents. It's okay to grieve. We're here for you. I'm honored you trusted us to tell us about it.
