Episode 1: I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

[Boston Rob]

After my stellar introduction from Brandon, I had to figure out how to change people's opinions of me... I have to be overly social... pretend to care about people... and well, keep my "Monster" side under wraps... each episode will be titled with a line from MONSTER by Eminem. Today's title describes the Immunity Challenge perfectly.

I wanted 2nd place, so I had some say in my tribe but I didnt want the top finish on the people who came back... that makes you an automatic target. So I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek! So I am happy with how things played out in the immunity challenge... 

then it was time to pick tribes...  here are some thoughts...

- pick the one person who reached out to me first... Whitney ... she is going to be my side kick at the same time! 
- each time I picked another person, I asked them who they liked and who they had already talked to... this told me WHO NOT TO PICK FOR MY TRIBE!!!!!!!!!! Why would I pick people's friends?! duh! If we get a tribe of strangers, if forces people to form new bonds and make new relationships! I just happened to miss people's messages until after I made my next pick and then unfortunately, Bat Shit Crazy Corinne would pick them up. DARN! "damn it! that was my next pick!" 

and then I had a tribe... 

NAPACO

1. B-Rob
--- thats me! 

2. Phillip
--- Glad Phillip is here... He is going to be my shield. He is a two time winner and a 4th place finisher... obviously he knows how to win this game... I am sure we can sway some people to get rid of him early if we need to throw someone out! 

3. Whitney
-- first person to reach out to me... she told me not to worry about how rude Brandon was in my intro and she likes me!  At the beginning, I thought the people who weren't picked... would be sent home... so I promised her that I would pick her. She seems trustworthy... so we'll see.

4. L J
-- L J was the next person to reach out to me... part of me thinks that L J thinks I am really Boston Rob. He was really fan girling over me... and he told me if I picked him, he would never vote me out... so I had to pick him! He asked me to pick Bob... but I 'missed' his message and before you knew it, Corinne picked him! 

5. Penner
- the next person to reach out to me... I want an active tribe. I want people that are going to be around and be strategist and want to play the game. He asked me to pick Sherea... but I "missed" his IM until after I picked Malcolm... luckily for him, Sherea got on our tribe later in the draft. 

6. Malcolm
- we bonded over college... as he is getting ready to graduate and I am a teacher.. so that brought us a bit closer.  He explained his reasoning for being so low... and well, he is a guy and I wanted to build a tribe of mostly guys... because women in these games are too catty... so that was a plus for Malcolm. 

7. Jeremiah
- His second tier performance earned him this spot on the tribe. Nothing special to write home about.  Just wanted some competitors on the tribe! 

8. Mikayla
- just wanted Whitney to have an estrogen partner in crime... plus she was in the middle tier... no real reason for this one!

9. Sherea - didnt have a choice... but I am ok with it... because well, I just didnt want Morgan...


Rank
1. Whitney
2. L J
3. Malcolm 
4. Jeremiah
5. Phillip 
6. Penner
7. Sherea
8. Mikayla 

It is what is is...

Phillip just got himself the first boot of the season from Napaco...

[Boston Rob]

Phillip wants to form STEALTH R US... with myself, Malcolm, LJ and a female... preferably Sherea because shes black, according to him... because that would be a plus for him...

He also told me that Jeremiah wants no parts of Stealth R Us... but Jeremiah told me that he was in with Stealth R Us and was the "Lone Ranger" -- Im the RobbFather by the way...

While talking to Jeremiah, he informs Jeremiah of who is in Stealth R Us Version 2.5684... STUPID! why would you do that?! Especially if you weren't going to include him in the end results?! Now you have to go, Phillip. There is no Stealth R Us... and there will be no Phillip Sheppard after we lose the first time.

Too hard... Too Soon! It's night one! Why are you trying to form such alliances?! It just backfired in your face...

Just won the first immunity challenge.

My man, LJ, came through in the clutch. Hooked me up with the directions, the password the link and the thing I have to post...

Def. moved up the food chain for me! my #1. Hopefully he doesn't turn out like IAN from GOBI DESERT!!!

Survived episode 1... time to come up with new song lyrics for Episode 2.
