EPISODE I ”I am just a pretty prop” Hello everyone, my name is Morgan and I am pretty you already love me. I mean, why wouldn’t you? I’m like gorgeous, and I am funny, and clever and I have great come-backs for everything. Basically I am the whole package, because I am not only pretty but I am also oozing personality and realness. Which, many times doesn’t go well because people who play ORG’s are SUPER dry and boring, but I have high hopes for this game because people actually seem interesting which is super exciting.
The game started as a huge tribe while we waited for the game to start, I bonded with a lot of people pre-tribes, but sadly my favorites were all put in a different tribe. Just my luck. But, before that, let me explain that I did not even try at the challenge, I started trying because I did not want to be out early but I get bored easy and I would much rather like bond with people than post like an idiot. So, I did that, and I kept making sure that Ozzy and Angie had zero posts, and it worked out. I mean, I looked like a weak bitch but who cares? I survived and that is all that matters. Plus challenges are not everything, because I am playing as Morgan so obviously I want to be a pretty prop, and funny, and kind of a cunt, but not try too hard. Putting effort into things makes you gain weight and I am NOT about that life at all.
I actually was really happy to be picked last because it just gives me a far better story-arc. I do want to point out though that I am not playing to win, I am here to entertain the crowd and to have a good time, I have won enough times, so I don’t need another victory. If I stumble upon it then that is cool too, but if I don’t then who cares?
So, anyways, I totally busted the challenge and I was picked last but at least I was picked unlike Sherea, who is hilarious so clearly Corinne and Rob had some really weird strategy picking people. Especially considering me and Corinne had like long ass conversations, so I assume other people have been sucking up or she was less than impressed by my effort at the challenge. Whatever. I will win her over. I did back on her original season and All-Stars so I know we have similar sense of humor and views, so it will happen.
Now, let’s talk about my tribe “Sibiu”… I am grossly disappointed with the choices we had. I spent most of my time bonding with dudes, because chances are someone who plays as a dude is a straight guy in real life which is more my kind of crowd. I want to bond over sports and stuff like that, not gay things. Anyways, seeing how Rob is clearly a chauvinistic person, he chose all the guys for his tribe [or most of them] he picked them regardless of their score, before picking girls who had high scores. I found it interesting, but knowing Rob I am not surprised. Malcolm told me that as they were picking Rob said “We might be stuck with Morgan” which is kind of hilarious because I did not even want to be on his tribe because he is OBVIOUSLY annoying enough for his whole tribe last season to want him out over the minority.
Corinne – She is pretty legit, I guess. I don’t really HATE her, which is okay. I mean, she picked me last which means at least she liked me more than Sherea, score? Andrea – I like Andrea, but holy fuck how annoying can you be? This chick sends 5 BIG paragraphs every time we talk before I can get a word in, not only that but she talks about herself SO much, like oh my God shut up! I do like her though, but holy shit let me get a word in. I assume she does the same with everyone else too. Allie – she is basically illiterate, and she went ham on the challenge. She is pretty okay, when I understand what she is trying to say though! Brice – Boring. It pisses me off that she is wasting who could have been my GBFF because whoever is playing him has no personality. Bob – I like Bob, he is kind of bland but he can at least carry a decent conversation. Edna – Edna was okay when I talked to her. Nothing too special. Yve – Who the fuck even picks Yve? At least she made a joke about being invisible. I have not met this bitch, but I don’t want to. Chicken – he is my favorite! He is funny, and in character, and just good to talk to. I would LOVE to align with him. Plus he is ugly which goes perfect with what I want to achieve in this game.
And, what exactly is it that I want to achieve in this game? Easy: be the last pretty person standing. I want to become a monster, a siren/harpy of sorts and have my own army of ugly monsters to destroy all the other people so I can be the last one standing. Why? Because it would be funny. My tribe seems to be lacking beauty though, so creating an army might be easier than I initially thought. Another thing I want to do is make clever and passive-aggressive remarks but constantly downgrade myself into just a pretty face like I have been doing. So, say something super smart and then be like “But I’m just a pretty prop” I also want to leech onto strong players and then vote them out when I am bored with them, mostly for my sheer entertainment.
Anyways, this confessional is a whole bunch of nothing, so I am done.

EPISODE I ”I am just a pretty prop” I cannot believe we lost the challenge already. Like, how did that happen? People are SO incredibly frustrating. Yve had said that she was going to be there for the challenge and she doesn't show up at all. Edna was online before the challenge, but at least she never said she was going to be around. It is just SO frustrating because we had a huge lead over the other team, they had only nine letters when we had twelve, which is when I figured out what the password was. The challenge itself was REALLY frustrating but it definitely played up to my strengths, word games are definitely my thing.
What was the issue with the challenge? Simply put, my tribe is not very smart. When we had twelve letters we had SURVI_ _L IS OURS, the letters out of order. They kept saying it was survivor something, which is a normal assumption but that would leave us with only one letter, I said multiple times the word was probably not survivor because then we would have one extra letter and making other words out of the remaining letters didn't make much sense. They ignored me. Then Andrea and Allie started shouting things that made absolutely no sense, like CAN YOU SURVIVE, SURVIVOR TRANSYLVANIA, like... if we only have two extra letters for CYS we would need a C, A, Y, N another V... we only are missing TWO letters. Which Andrea continued to point out during the challenge. "It's only 14 guys!" yet she kept shouting stupid stuff in the chat every five seconds, because "it's better grasping at straws" well, guess what? It's not. It's not better at all, because you are distracting myself, Bob and Chicken who are actually good with words and trying to solve the puzzle correctly. Corinne was in the chat too, but she was quiet, so at least I appreciated that.
Andrea however... holy shit, dude shut the fuck up!!! She never stops. At some point she gave us this GIANT theory [two paragraphs] about how Transylvania was about vampires, and Dracula and vampires bit people and infected them with a virus so then one of the words should be virus... what?! Since when do Vampires carry a virus? They drain your blood, you idiot, and you turn into a vampire, that is NOT a virus. The girl is a mess, she was one of those people that want to be helpful and try so hard that they are counterproductive. It was awful. I wanted to kill her, at some point I even went to Chicken to whine about how much they were frustrating me. Mostly Andrea, because Allie just wanted to get done so she could go to bed and the girl was exhausted, but Andrea was doing it because she obviously wanted to be the hero.
Talking about Chicken, I think my ideal alliance would be him and Bob at this point. I get along with them the most, they are both playing unique characters, they are smart and they are NOT annoying as Hell. I wouldn't mind stringing Allie along either, because I find her endearing and I feel like she loves me. Kind of like a puppy. That's where my mind is at, but I don't think I will solidify anything for another round since there seems to be time to spare. I don't want to rush into things just yet. One thing I do know is that I do not want to work with attention-whore Andrea or even Corinne, though Corinne > Andrea at this point of time.
This vote should be simple enough. Two people didn't show up and screwed us up. One must go. At least I hope so. I had to run after finding the password / posting, because of a meeting and then I ended having to deal with some other stuff so I couldn't come online until now, when everyone is gone. So, I don't know what they talked about or if any of them were around when the challenge results were posted. I also hope that my lazy performance in the initial challenge doesn't come back to haunt me, I doubt it would since I get along with people and I basically solved the unscramble by myself [and by basically I mean I absolutely did because everyone else was stuck in "Survivor" being one of the words]. I hope that I am not a target, but you never know in a game like this. I guess I will have to try and catch up with people tomorrow and see where they stand. Ugh, so much work already... I am too lazy for this shit.

EPISODE I ”I am just a pretty prop” Damn this game for making me be up at 11:00 AM. I am seriously SO irritated because I am NOT a morning person at all, so please notice my dedication to this game, especially in comparison to last season when I could not be bothered to try and be social with my tribe. This time, though, I am here for the long haul because I actually don't hate everyone in my tribe. I am annoyed with most of them like 80% of the time, but I don't hate them. Anyways, today when I woke up to use the bathroom I decided to check the forum, see if anyone had been around to get an idea about the vote or whatnot. To my surprise like 5 people had posted since last night, and it was like 30 minutes ago or so [thank God proboards tells you how long ago they posted!] so I decided to stop my rest time and come online to chat only to find that Bob was the only one online, besides Whitney who barely counts.
Can I take a pause from this to point out how ridiculous it is for Whitney to be acting like "I AM JUST GOING TO VOTE WITH MAJORITY, YOU GUYS SHOULD APPROACH ME, THE QUEEN OF THE ISLAND!" like bitch, swerve, you are NOT the queen of the island and voting with the majority and announcing it so publicly is just annoying and rather unnecessary. You gain no leverage from that. A good player would be going to the people who didn't show up, or someone to start trying to make some deals. What a fool.
Moving on, Bob was the only one online which was BEYOND irritating. But we talked, and he informed me that Brice had said we should vote for Edna since she hasn't been online since the challenge... wait, pause, rewind. We are doing what? Since when are we listening to Brice? Since when does Brice actually understand strategy, and/or talks to people? Bob said it was their first conversation. Like hold the fucking phone Brice, you are moving too fast. Anyways I don't like Brice, he is boring.
I personally want Yve out, I realized today that her Tribal Council answers were typed in awful English, and granted Edna's English sucks too but at least I knew that already. Finding out Yve has awful English is like strike number two and quite frankly strike number three is the fact that she is MILDLY attractive [Read: NOT A MILF]. Factor that with my strategy of voting out the more attractive people, and pair that up with my obsession with controlling things and Morgan's spoiled nature and we have a new mission: campaign for Edna to stay and get rid of Yve.
Now, I am NOT stupid, so if a lot of people are very hesitant I will vote for Edna as I am not going to alienate myself in the first vote. But I am going to see if people will bite, I feel that as long as Edna shows up they might be inclined to do so. I could always "not vote" and blame it all on my boot-list. But I don't want to get shitted on for that, so I am going to be playing the field and see what happens.
On a more strategic note, me and Bob talked and in a very natural way it was brought up the fact that we both like each other and Chicken the most. It was not weird or seemed like strategy talk, basically I said Yve sucked and he agreed, I said that I had talked to Edna more and he agreed. He said he didn't want to make any decisions though until he talked to "his boy Chicken" [old people using young people language love] and then go from there. I, obviously, expressed my adoration for the chicken farmer and he said "you talk to Chicken a lot?" and then he shared the two of them made nachos last night before the challenge and bonded a lot. I said: "Yeah, you and him are the ones I talk to the most. And... Andrea, but she doesn't count." we then proceeded to have a mini bash session of Andrea's lack of social awareness and how it's impossible to carry a conversation with her since she talks AT you, not with you. The conversation then turned to Allie, whom I said I found endearing and compared her to a puppy. He said he didn't like her and then came this gem: "Well if you think we can trust her than I guess I should make more of an attempt to speak to her"
DING DING DING DING DING !!!! We have a winner! That little line let me know Bob was already thinking of working with me, look at the way he phrased it. So I said I thought she would be easy to string along, and he said that since Chicken-himself-me all love each other she could be an easy fourth. And we talked about it and basically just agreed we should work together, and both approach Chicken about the alliance and we would be set. I am SO happy that I have landed myself in an alliance and that it was SO easy to get it to happen with the people that I want it to happen. Basically I just got my way and I didn't even have to try too hard for it, isn't that super cool? Just for the record, it is.
The best thing is, next round LJ is coming over if we lose, and LJ and I bonded a lot. So, if we manage to string in Allie [and assuming Chicken is down] we could easily have 5 against four and boot whoever the fuck we decided to without even having to worry about whether the other four agreed to. Surprise Andrea boot? A girl can only dream!

EPISODE II ”I need to fire my agent” Well... Edna went home. Whoopty-woop! I can honestly say that I tried to make sure that wasn't the case, to push for the Yve vote but it was going nowhere. For a while I had both Bob and Chicken on board for the plan, and I had Whitney convinced the vote was going to for Yve. But then as I was about to approach Andrea/Corinne for the final vote, Chicken chickened out, no pun intended. He decided it was too early to rock the boat, which I kind of agree with, but I think voting out Yve would have been the smartest move by a mile. In reality, Edna is dead weight, and if we lost again she would have went home, no questions asked. That would give our alliance the majority, and we could do whatever we wanted. But now, we gotta worry about possibly Yve turning out to be a super social threat out of nowhere [doubt it] and possibly creating her own alliance. I wanted an easy ride, because hi my name is Morgan and I am lazy as hell. But whatever, I can't make a smart move by myself without back-up.
This next challenge is a creative one, which Bob was quick to point out he was awful at. I am assuming no one is going to want to take the responsibility for the job and I might end being the one to take the lead. I hope not because I don't want to spend countless hours doing photoshop work to please a bunch of people who sit behind their computer all day when I could be out playing soccer. But I compromised to this game, so if I have to I will. My minor IS graphic design, but I was the worst in the class and I am not feeling like working too hard whatsoever. So, I hope someone else takes the lead on the challenge just like Morgan did last season so that I don't have to do anything but give good input and boss people around. I love bossing people around.
And either way, if I take the lead and we lose I am the one to blame. I don't want that extra target on my back, which is why I pointed out that I did NOT want to take the lead, and someone else should. That way, if we lose and I did lead, I can be like "I gave it my best shot, but I told you guys I shouldn't do it!" but you never know. People are stupid in Survivor, so I need to be careful about what I put out there. I also don't want people to suddenly see me as a challenge threat, because LOL they would be beyond wrong and grossly disappointed when I prove that my challenge skills individually are not up-to-par.
Anyways, I hate this challenge, and by association I hate you Host Brandon for making us create a whole room. I'm not a decorator, interior designer or a housewife, so I don't want to decorate a room. You better PRAY I don't end having to take the lead, because I swear to Jesus fucking Christ you WILL hear from my lawyer.

EPISODE II ”I need to fire my agent” Hello again, it's your girl Morgan here. Sooooo, turns out keeping Yve was not all that bad. Apparently she is some sort of pro at turning people into vampires, even though she fails to follow simple instructions such as "post the pictures in the forum for everyone else to see, when you are done." but hey I guess at least she can do SOMETHING. I am glad we kept her, not because she is good at photoshop but because she can take the blame if we lose. Simple as that. With her doing the vamp images, it is very easy for me to push the responsibilities of putting everything together on her since she has shown that she has photoshop skills, same with Chicken but he is my ally so I'm not gonna throw him under the bus. But now, either Yve performs and gains favor, or she is voted out for failing at her one task.
It is truly awful that despite how great the idea is, mostly mine since I came up withe frame/hallway concept, I kind of want us to lose. I love going to Tribal Council, that is what the game is about, if you win win win then it becomes boring and I am enjoying myself so far so I would really like for us to lose again. I think I would be safe. I mean, lets be real I have been coming up with most of the concept and pretty much shown that I can lead the tribe. I have also contributed minimally with the visuals seeing how I don't feel like doing the whole thing. Total team player.
The way I see it, I'm in Marketing, that means that I come up with the concept and then I let the grunts execute them. I supervise the whole thing and tell people where to place the pieces. That's my role on this challenge. I am the boss and they are my subjects, kind of like the pharaoh telling people where to build the pyramids, except I want the pyramids to collapse and trap my subjects under them so they can suffocate and die. Nice visual, huh? I mean... what can I say? I am a little sadistic like that.
This challenge once again proves that Allie is good at running her mouth and her one skill is going to be in posting challenges. And also that Corinne and Andrea are basically useless and we could do without them. Andrea contributed ONE image that was dreadful because it was sepia which makes us have to change the whole concept. Corinne only contributed pointless opinions and compliments. Bob at least has been contributing good concepts on AIM and giving better feedback than "OMG I LOVE IT!" which quite frankly gets annoying. If we lose I can't help but wonder if I would be able to push the target on either of them as they are far bigger threats than Yve. Another easy vote would be Brice who is not very social and contributes VERY little to anything, he is kind of like a vampire that got trapped in a coffin and his other vampire friends don't care enough for to help him out before sunlight reaches him and kills him.
How's that for some Transylvanian analogy?

EPISODE II ”I need to fire my agent” I am throwing a white girl hissy fit right now, it's not even funny. I can't even. We lost the challenge, which I know I said that I wanted to happen, but I am SO angry for some reason. Their flag was SO dope, and ours was good but clearly we had the inferior one. It is pretty obvious even though I know some people are probably going to be like "OMG WE DESERVED TO WIN". Well, no we fucking didn't, and I don't want to pretend like we did because we really didn't. But I know if I said that then people are gonna raise eyebrows and I am gonna be like a target or something. So now, I have to be fake and I HATE being fake, it's so fucking annoying. But I have to do what I have to do to avoid being a target, especially with how much I am starting to NOT like my tribe.
I am literally dying. I can find reasons to vote out every single member of this tribe sans Bob and Chicken who are my boys. And especially because half of these fuckers annoy the living crap out of me. And I feel like I should be safe because Allie is obsessed with me and I trust the guys, but now Yve is obviously not an option. She did great in the challenge, and while it would be HILARIOUS to vote her out after all she did, I don't think I can do such a thing, nor would I have back-up for it. So, it comes down to Andrea and Brice.
Brice is basically useless, he acts nice but he is not nice, he is like a child that has no skills and is just there to like breathe my air, and I don't want to share my air with such a pathetic life-form that can barely be classified a human. HOWEVER, we have Andrea who I would like if it wasn't for this game, but in this game she has been a hindrance in every single challenge and most importantly every time she talks I want to stick a cock in her mouth so she would have something else to do. The issue with the Andrea plan is that I don't know if people will be down for it.
As I typed this confessional though, Bob approached me and he kind of brought up the idea of voting out Andrea. He seemed relieved when I told him that I was between her and Brice because he was too. I swear, I love being in the same wave-length as him. But we both wanna do it, and he thinks he can get Brice on with the plan. LJ said he would be down if I got the votes, and I feel like Chicken would be fine with it if me and Bob both say we got this. I don't know how Allie or Corinne would feel about it, but I mean if we don't need them we don't got to tell them. I think this vote could either go REALLY well or really bad. I can see it backfiring hardcore and blowing up on my face, BUT I can also see it being the birth of a new power alliance of villains that would take this game by storm. Or at least the ending of blabbermouth, either works.

EPISODE II ”I need to fire my agent” Welcome to another episode of "Life Lessons with Morgan", in today's show we have Andrea a girl who talks AT people instead of talking WITH or TO them. Andrea has been struggling with this problem ever since arriving to Transylvania, and it might very well earn her the second boot of the game. Whether this happens or not, us here at LLwM hope that Andrea can take this as a life-lesson and improves her life.
In all seriousness though, I had a really long and deep conversation with Andrea. We talked about what I mentioned above, and turns out she does that in real life too. I was very honest about it, because I firmly believe in people being able to grow. I know I act like a douche like 90% of the time, but I do have a heart, and I loooove helping people grow into better versions of themselves. Andrea is a good kid, outside of this game she is lovely. And I know I have given her a lot of grief during the past two episodes, but I do like her. She is just a huge threat, and she does talk AT people. I hope that after our conversation she can grow from it and become a better version of herself in both real life and for future games.
Now, you might be confused, but let me continue: Andrea found out she was the target of the vote. Whether Yve or Allie told her is left to be found out. But I am praying it was Yve because Allie has been my girl so far and I would hate if she threw me under the bus. Anyways Andrea, apparently, is gathering the troops and trying to get out my boy Bob. It might be between them which somehow means Brice who deserve to leave is going to be around for yet another round. I would hope that Andrea changes the target to Brice instead of Bob though, because losing the old man would be awful for my game. It would be like losing one of the few people I can talk to without feeling like I'm getting dumber.
Andrea has to go though. I am hoping that LJ and Allie are with us as well. I think they are the swings, it seems like she has Corinne, Brice and Yve which is like the slackers of the tribe, kind of like the misfits banding together which barf. Popular kids > misfits. Then again, if we end in minority are we really popular or did we just think we were popular and then got fucked in the ass?
After our very honest talk I feel like if Andrea stays we could have something going, I was straight-up about where my vote was going. And she has been too, I believe, but if she stays she says she wants to work some kind of agreement or understanding which I would be fine with. Obviously, because if she stays I'm gonna be FUCKED. Andrea also revealed that she figured out my alias which makes me want her out even more, because she KNOWS what I am capable of, like she has seen me plenty of times, and I don't want people to realize I can be a threat. I want them to think of me as a pretty prop for the time being. And I mean she said she wasn't going to tell others, but desperation makes people do stuff that they said they wouldn't.
I would campaign more, but I am too lazy. I will let the guys do it. I will let them know what went down and let them take charge on the whole thing, because I can't be bothered. The day is nice out and I am going to go tan, play soccer, and then play basketball tonight. I don't have time to ensure Andrea goes, the guys can handle it.

EPISODE III ”One monster down. One to go.” Quote by Allie, except with better English. Andrea bit the bullet, thank God! Turns out, I had to use my charm to make sure things went well and I ended sacrificing precious sunlight to ensure that Bob would stay. But we worked as a very well-oiled machine, and we all made sure that things went the way we needed them to. I mean Andrea left almost unanimously, sans the Corinne vote, which I feel might have been LJ's for some reason. I guess I will talk to Corinne, but I feel LJ might have tried to throw me under the bus. Why? Simple, I gave him a LOT of information which would make him think Allie/Bob are in an alliance with me, and perhaps that vote was his way of trying to create some chaos. It would be a stupid move considering that I have majority, and also I wanted to work with him if there was a swap or a merge. But hey, A for effort.
Then again, it could have easily been Corinne. HOWEVER, I feel like her vote would have been a LOT more catty than that which was clearly an attempt at revealing information. This would be easier to figure out if we had been shown the parchments for the round before, but ALAS no such luck because Brandon got lazy. But whatever, I will get to the bottom of it, and either way voting out Corinne next would only benefit us. Corinne is useless at challenges, barely active AND she is a monster. She is going to be a lot harder to control than Yve/Brice who have proven once again to be drones.
Allie just said we are in power with Bob/Chicken which is interesting to me considering the fact that I have never mentioned those two with Allie, but hey if she wants to align with them more power to me. I don't mind, stroll along. Regardless of the circumstances I am going to come out smelling like roses. And now I have a majority on my tribe, which is fantastic, we can literally pick and choose at this point ESPECIALLY with the rumored Double TC coming up. After that, even if the kidnapped/extra vote wants to support our in-tribe-rivals there won't be enough numbers. We just have to play this Double boot round smart. I think the smartest thing would be to get rid of Corinne, personally, but we will see.
Andrea left with a bitter vote calling everyone pussies but then she ended it in "Good job, best of luck!" which is kinda fake when you just insulted the whole tribe. Whatever though. She is out, and I have garnered the power for the round. I am certain it will continue down that road as well. I am mostly concerned right now about whether or not it could have been LJ who voted for me, I have a feeling he might have been but I also don't want to be one of those paranoid players. Right now I am just happy the plan worked out, especially after all the shit I had to do and the bores I had to talk to. This next round is going to be exciting, and hopefully more so for the other tribe. Something tells me I am gonna need there to be some divisions over there in the very near future.

I LITERALLY have nothing to confess. I have been really busy this round. Basically I am going to let Bob and Chicken do all the work while I prepare for the start of volleyball season since that is my life. I am too pretty to start working hard when the vote should be easily either Brice or Corinne. I feel like that's the only way to go and I doubt that they will all band together and destroy our alliance. #famouslastwords #watchitbackfire #byebyeMorgan

EPISODE III ”One monster down. One to go.” So, basically I just found out that there is a possibility that I can get blindsided this round. Yeah, you read that right. I might be blindsided. Well... I guess now that I know about it I am not going to be. But apparently there was a plan that I could go home. Am I going to? I doubt it, but there is always that chance. Brice told me that Yve and Bob were talking about it, et tu Bob?
I immediately decided to go to Bob to squash the rumors. I am not a paranoid player at all, and when I give my word to someone I am loyal to the core. So I went to him so that we could have an open discussion about what was going on. Apparently Corinne brought it up in a thread with Brice, Yve, and LJ and then Yve approached Bob about it. That is the story, at least. LJ hasn't said anything, and Brice did which makes me think Brice doesn't want me out since otherwise, why would he have told me such a thing? It would make no sense.
Normally, this would be my time to go ham. But I am not going to. I am going to keep calm and not make myself a bigger target, chat with people here and there, and make them realize that I am better kept around. No threats, no nothing. Unless I get voted out, in that case I WILL burn the whole camp to the ground and leave no one alive.
Apparently Chicken knew too, he said that him and Bob thought LJ was with us and then they had turned Yve away from the idea. But it all started from Corinne. I trust him, and Bob, but I can't help but feel a little concerned. Especially when I just found out who Bob is. Now, normally I don't really give any fucks on who one person is, but I just watched a game where Bob played and he made moves just for lulz, with no logical sense, he thought he was a mastermind and he voted out a close ally early on because he thought it would be smart, when it wasn't. He has no qualms on going against people he gave his word to, it seems, so I am a little worried. But I have to trust my allies.
Also, Corinne is the other option and lets be real, bitch ain't no monster. She is a pug in a Halloween costume, she is harmless and useless. Why would anyone keep her around when they can keep me? I have contributed amazingly well in both tribe challenges AND didn't show to the individual challenge, so individually I am not even a threat. I hope people see the logic moving forward. I need to be confident. This has been a great game even only three rounds in, so it is my hope that it would continue like this and my time is not cut short.

EPISODE IV ”Totally NOT a swap...” This round there is going to be a swap. But sh! don't say anything, it's a secret. No one would EVER suspect that there is going to be a swap, I am certain that there will be shocked faces because not everyone has my powers of prediction. I cannot wait to see reactions when the swap comes and everyone is like "WHAT?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! I NEVER SAW THIS COMING, LIKE EVER!!!!"
Anyways... Corinne went home. Boo-hoo. It was unanimous which is obviously a good sign, and it put away my fear that LJ had voted for me last tribal council as the vote was recycled, so it was clearly Corinne. It was funny that she tried to pick a fight with me, but she is out of her league so I didn't engage. She called me fake which I don't think I have been... sure I get SUPER annoyed with people, but I don't dislike them. Even Brice is nice, albeit super boring, but I cannot hate someone for being super bland, it's not their fault they have no personality. Hating someone for it would be rude, and God knows I am not a rude person.
The swap tonight is going to be interesting, Sibiu is down in numbers, and quite frankly I don't see us sticking together come a swap, if anything we are going to pull a Beauty tribe and start targeting each other. I am PRAYING that I get to stick with Bob/Chicken because that's the only way I would feel safe, but even if we swap I think my social skills and all the connections I made before the tribe divide might help me. Unless I end with Mikayla, then there's trouble brewing. I get along with everyone else though, besides Philip who I never even met.
I also want to point out how happy I am that so many girls have been voted out, as one of my game objectives is to be the last girl standing. Even though I do like Sherea a lot, and Allie is a good one too. Yve, Mikayla and Whitney can all leave next. I won't mind. Ideally I would end with a combination of Chicken/Bob/Sherea/LJ/Malcolm but if I have Jonathan/Allie/Jeremiah I won't mind, and maybe even Brice who I feel I could turn into a personal follower. I have to say I am not very nervous about the swap, because I made some great connections pre-tribes, but I AM nervous to end with Mikayla and outnumbered because then things are gonna go downhill very fast.
I need to continue trying to get that idol, I am just waiting on Chicken and Bob to tell me what they are submitting so that I don't do the same. Teamwork is going to get us that idol. Preach.

EPISODE IV ”Totally NOT a swap...” There was a swap?! WHAT?! Who could have foreseen such a twist?! Oh, yeah... I did. And so did the rest of the cast. BUT good try Brandon! Chicken didn't, since he played last season, but the rest of us saw through it. So, A for effort. And now, we have new tribes [duh!], I definitely thought it was possible that we could end being divided with "Most Popular" against "Less Popular" which is why I told the guys to be sincere and rank us at the top, after all I didn't want us to be divided. I was not right since we got the less popular people over to our side but at least I got to stay with Bob and Chicken which makes me very, very happy.
Sadly, Malcolm, LJ, Sherea who I was looking forward to playing with ended on the other tribe. Luckily, they kept Mikayla so I don't have to worry about being a target from the get-go out of sheer jealousy. On my tribe we received Jeremiah, Penner, Philip and Sketchy Whitney. WHICH means if we get rid of Whitney first I am the only chick on the rooster coop. Obviously that is my objective, seeing how she is fucking sketchy and a huge social threat for the future.
Funny enough, I was telling Chicken how I wanted both Philip and Whitney gone first two. And then in my conversation with Jeremiah he said this gem: which made me laugh since I had literally just said that to Chicken. He agreed to watch my back while I watch his, and it looks like the former yellow tribe is not going to be sticking together, which makes me happy. I like Jeremiah and Penner so I would LOVE to help them out for a little bit. And if that puts me in a better position then that's even better. They have the numbers, but they are dysfunctional so that gives me hope for the future. I think I am playing a pretty decent game pre-merge so I am not willing to go home anytime soon.
Now, the idol. Basically I got most of them right. And I have been working with Chicken and Bob to get it. I was VERY tempted to not share my findings with them so that I could get the idol to myself [what a bitch, right?] but at the end I realized that if I went behind their back I would lose all the trust I have built so I gave them the list. And now we know the exact list so Bob is most likely going to get it, by process of elimination I know which one is number 6 and which one is number 7 and we have two options for 10 and 13, which either Bob gets right, or I will have a shot at snatching it tomorrow morning. I am going to post a list with guesses that will basically be able to be counted when the new day starts, and hopefully Bob doesn't get it and I get it in before Chicken. I trust the guys, but I would LOVE to have that idol to myself, especially considering that I got most of the movies in the right place myself, and not them.

EPISODE IV ”Totally NOT a swap...” I have to say, for the first time since the start of the game I have an actual reason to be worried. I am being targeted during this Tribal Council, which we were condemned to by Philip's paranoia. We could have easily won that challenge, no question about it, we have some great posters, but Philip is smart and realized he could be a target. I can't blame him for doing so because there had already been talk about getting him and Whitney out first two rounds with Jeremiah and Penner's help, but I wish he had waited until the challenge was more advanced to do so so he could see if we had a shot at winning. Now, he has really set himself apart from the tribe and if I survive this Tribal he is going to be a target for sure.
Now, Jeremiah and Penner, along with LJ who is visiting, talked with us about targeting Philip and Whitney, personally I wanted Whitney gone first, even though everyone wanted Philip gone, I guess it's a good thing he is immune because at least I have a chance of getting my way. I believe that Jeremiah and Penner are going to vote with us, but I am also extremely nervous that Whitney will pull an idol and I will be kicked out of the game without having a fighting chance. I feel like I have made no mistakes to deserve going this early, I have made a solid alliance, created good relationships with the new-comers and even Philip, and I guessed most of the idol order. Hell, I have even kicked ass at the challenges. Yet, I am the target.
The idol is gone, by the way, I am sure everyone watching knows this. But Bob submitted my answer, and he got told that the idol was gone. People suspect that Allie has it, or Brice, but I genuinely do not think either is very smart. Whitney on the other hand is smart, crafty and sneaky, and she went there the first round, so if anyone has it, it would be her. The plan is to make them think I am going, and then blindside them, that is the key part of the whole thing because if they suspect she is going she could play a possible idol. Of course, no one is worried because no one else is a target, they are all perfectly fine with everything because I am the one getting the votes.
My plan at this point is to just act like I am going home. I have to be believable which is why I have been bitter and bitchy at Tribal, disliking posts and when they approach me to talk I always make off-hand comments about Philip taking the necklace. I think that is far more believable for the kind of person I am than if I was just whining and crying about it. So, hopefully my performance is believable enough that no idol would be played [if there is one]. I also approached Philip to talk and kinda say that I was fine with whoever left as long as it wasn't me, and that I know they have the numbers but I have been trying SO hard that it would kill me to leave. I get along with him, so I am hoping he could throw me a bone and him and Whitney could vote for Chicken/Bob in case of idol play, but we will see where it goes. Really, this round I am kind of at the mercy of others #prayforMorgan
