Confessions of a Chicken

[chicken]

So we lost our first tribe challenge, and it came down to Edna and Yve not being here. Unfortunately for them that probably means it's gonna be one of them going home. I wanna feel bad for them, but Yve said she was gonna be here, and Edna was online but disappeared  before the challenge and never returned. They frankly just got unlucky in when the live challenge fell, however, Allie stayed up till fuckin 3:00 am her time to do the challenge, so I don't think we're giving them any breaks.

It's kinda stupid tho. At one point Morgan said she was gonna leave cuz she had a meeting. Everyone was like "hey its ok its not you fault byee," while at the same time blaming and shit talking Edna and Yve for not showing up. I just thought that was hypocritical, but w/e, i'm keepin that to myself. Dont wanna stir up any shit.

So yeah, it'll most likely be Yve or Edna, which is fine by me, cuz neither of those names are mine. I'd like Yve to stay since we have a stronger bond, but I hate it when people say they're gonna be at challenges and then they don't show up, so I wont have any problem voting her out if thats the consensus amongst the tribe.

As far as the rest of my tribe goes, we're all getting along pretty well. I have a feeling alliances will start forming soon, but I want to hang back and let those alliances come to me. If I can work on my relationships with them chances are they'll pull me into an alliance. I just don't want to be pegged as a ringleader and paint a target on myself.

lets do a thing where i go through everyone and say shit about them, first impressions and whatnot. ready? go!

Yve: One of the first people to approach me. Uses lots of emoticons, kind of annoying. Keeps bringing up an old persons alliance. Doesn't let me break character. Lied about being here for the challenge, and lost it for us. Overall, not a great start. 4/10

Edna: We talked for maybe like 5 mintues before she disappeared never to return for the challenge. Not impressive. 1/10

Morgan: Love her. Solved our puzzle and proved that she shouldnt have been picked last. We started bonding before the tribes were even formed. She is funny and is gonna give Corrine a run for most bitchy. Likes to talk shit, which is one of my favorite things. She is able to play her character and not be obnoxious about it. We will get along just fine. Also, great rack. 10/10

Brice: Also loves his emoticons. Also kind of annoying. Haven't talked to him much, so yet to make a good impression. 5/10

Bob: Also love Bob. We get along fine, and he's super chill to talk to. If anyone was to be my Savage this season, its Bob. I could see us being a deadly duo. More than likely will be my first alliance. 10/10

Allie: Damn, this chick has some determination. Not only did she completely kill the spam challenge (I was kidding when I said someone was gonna post 1000 times, but she went and fucking did it) but she stayed up till 3:00 am her time to do this challenge. I'm actually in another game with her right now, in which i'm working with her. She has a really bad language barrier though, and sometimes she comes off as brash and rude because of it, and I don't think she realizes it. With people like Corrine and Morgan on our tribe, that shit probably wont fly, especially if her challenge prowess dwindles. She isn't someone I need to worry about, because she'll get herself voted out of the game. Still, she's a challenge beast. 7/10

Andrea: All she talked about when she talked was her trip to Europe. She showed me her blog about it. I tried my best to keep it from being awkward. It was kinda awkward. 6/10

Corrine: Didn't get to talk to her much, but I think we'll get along just fine. I love bitchy, and she does too. Hopefully her and Morgan don't butt heads too much, cuz i'd like to work with both of them. Will definitely be trying to forge a better relationship with her too. 8/10



So apparently I decided to score them too. That was an impulse decision, but I kinda like it. Anyways i'm done for now. Bed time for Chicken

[chicken]

Woopee, creative challenge time! Last season I sat out this challenge, and gratefully regretted it, as I could do nothing but cry in silence as our tribe put together a really lousy picture (no offense Savage )that ended up losing us the challenge. But this time, I can pitch in and help! And better yet, we seem to have some photoshop-competent people on our tribe, i.e, the person we almost considered voting out! Yve has definitely redeemed herself from last challenge, offering some awesome ideas for our room and doing some really cool stuff in photoshop to make us look all vampire-y and shit. It kinda sucks that there's no longer an easy target for tc so I can feel safe, but with the way we're going, tc shouldn't even be an issue! Besides, ol Chicken here has found himself into a nice alliance.

So as I mentioned before, Morgan and Bob I bonded with quite a bit, and apparently, they bonded quite a bit too. So whaddaya know, Morgan comes to me suggesting an alliance between me, her, and Bob. I couldn't be happier. They're the people I like the most on the tribe, and I feel like I can hide behind both of them if we end up making some enemies, just cause they're more vocal (Morgan especially) and will hopefully be perceived as bigger threats. Bob is worried that our numbers are so small, but I feel like at this point most of the decisions are gonna be tribe decisions, and I don't think any rival alliances are forming. I feel like we're the most active on the tribe, so if other alliances are forming, one of us probably would've been contacted.

Still, there is power in numbers, so adding someone else to the alliance would be a smart idea. Bob and Morgan both like the idea of adding on Allie. I know Allie from a game i'm currently in, so i'm familiar with her style of gameplay, which makes her less of an unknown/wild-card factor for me. She is fiercely loyal, so she'd be a great addition. I personally would like to have Corrine in with us too, but i'm not sure what their opinions on her are. It's all stuff to consider in the near future, but for now I feel like we have a strong tribe and should hopefully avoid tribal for a while, but i'm prepared if we do. My targets right now would be either Brice or Andrea. Brice seems to be the quietest and least active of the bunch, so he's kind of a "lets not stir up shit" kind of target. Andrea from when i've talked to her doesn't seem too invested in the game, but i've also been received warnings of how hard and cutthroat she plays, so she may be someone we need to get out sooner rather than later.

So yeah, I think that sums things up pretty well. Happy 4/20 Easter! I'm off to celebrate a little early

[chicken]

RIGGED! RIGGED I TELL YOU! THOSE DAYUM VOTES WERE RIGGED! I DEMAND A RECOUNT!

Lol jk, they're picture was pretty fucking awesome. My fault for forgetting to bribe the judges.

So I don't think anyone was expecting to lose that challenge. We had some really cool ideas coming together and Yve really took the wheel and put them all into effect. Unfortunately, the finished product wasn't as polished as I envisioned it being.  I think she should have chosen a bigger room, just so that the names on the plaques that I PAINSTAKINGLY TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE (lol not really they were pretty simple) wouldn't be so unreadable. But i'm not one to judge, cause I couldn't pull together anything half that good. 

So anyway, everyone's all "omg we should have one that ours was sooooo much better," you know, the typical shit you here after a tribe loses a subjectively judged challenge. So i just agree and play along, but I just wanna find out who people are voting for. Morgan starts talking to me and she asks me who i'm thinking, and I throw out Brice's name just cuz he kinda hasn't done anything of value in either challenge, and he's gone all "sorry i suck guyz if you vote me out i understand," on us, so I think he's an easy pick to not rock the vote. Morgan follows up with "yeah, thats cool and all, but besides him, who else do you wanna vote out?" I realize she has a target in place and her gun is loaded, so I say Andrea, which is the truth. She's a monster for a reason, and needs to be taken care of soon. Apparently I answered correctly, because Morgan cheers and says, "those are the two names me and Bob were throwing around." So we start a group chat and it's clear they both want Andrea out this vote and not Brice, which kind of worries me. I mean, I think people will find it suspicious if we approach them and ask them to vote for Andrea when she hasn't really done anything worthy of voting her out.

They make good points though. If we protect Brice, then he'll most likely be loyal to us. So that gives us 4 votes. Morgan is also saying she can rope in LJ, who would be a 5th, which would be enough. I would like the vote to be unanimous as possible to avoid a tribe division or any possible drama, but at this point i'll take what I can get. I think I can pull Yve in, as she still probably feels vulnerable from her no-show at the last challenge. I wanna get a pulse of what everyone is thinking before pulling a move like this, because it's a big one, and I feel like it could be a little early for big moves.

Ok, now for some one-liners. I didn't get an episode title last season (well, technically I should have credit for the Pearl Thailands title, since I came up with that name  ) and I'm deadset on getting one this time.

*ahem* Wow! That challenge was a barrel of crazy frogs!  Gee whiz! Our tribe is rioting in the streets after that loss! Those damn judges! I should poison their wine, that'll teach em. I guess it's time for me to take the reigns and make this game my bitch.

Ok, that was awful. I'm sorry for that. I need to sleep.

[chicken]

also i need to stop with all these fucking winky faces. they creepy as shit

[chicken]

fuck fuck fuck fuck I KNEW voting for Andrea was too big a move this early. Someone has obviously snitched cause she is onto us, and she is now rallying votes against Bob. I tried to play dumb like I had no idea she was being considered, but i'm pretty sure she read through all my b.s. A lot of what I said to her was true tho. I think its silly to vote someone like her out this early because it's rocking the boat too early and gonna cause a rift in our tribe that will only fuck things up. I told her I would try to convince Bob to get the votes off her, and I'm actually gonna do that, because almost everything of what she's saying is true. I rarely talk to Brice, so keeping her over Brice is more beneficial to my individual game. She is telling me if I can get the vote off her, she'll flip and vote out Brice. Do I believe she'll do that, I don't know. This game is getting way too crazy way too fast, and I don't know whats gonna happen D:

[chicken]

Ok, so now Andrea is rallying votes against Bob, which is the final nail in the coffin for me. She has got to go! She is going after one of my closest allies, and I can't have her doing that. And apparently, it's public knowledge that me and Bob are some power couple in this game, So I need to eliminate anyone who wants to break that up.

Andrea told me that she would switch her vote back to Brice if I convinced Bob to get the vote off her. But then she goes and accidentally(?) posts this screencap in the tribe aim chat where shes essentially pressuring Allie to vote for Bob over her. I don't know what her strategy was in that, but I think she's fucked.

I don't know where the votes are gonna fall. I think Yve will vote with us, but I don't know about Allie or Brice. Brice used to be a lock because he was the other option, but with Bob now in the picture, he has a safety net, and can vote either way he wants. LJ is another mystery. Morgan is working on him though, so hopefully we can get his vote.

It's tough when half the people are like "we'll vote with the majority," and its like, WELL I CANT FUCKING FIGURE OUT WHO THE MAJORITY IS WHEN NOBODY WILL MAKE UP THEIR GOD DAYUM MINDS! Ugghhhhhhh, I really should have bribed the judges last challenge.

[chicken]

And with that, the first monster has been slain

Holy shit. I have no idea how we got the vote almost unanimous. We have way more power than I thought we did!

I do feel bad for Andrea, because if we're talking about who "deserved" to go the most, she definitely wasn't one of them. This is what my alliance wanted, and honestly, i'm ok with it. We managed to convince the tribe to take out a threat early, and her leaving now will hopefully cause less problems later. Sorry Andrea

[chicken]

also this




lol, not quite

[chicken]

Ok, i'm gonna call this one right now. There ain't gonna be no double tc. Nah-uh, that's what you all WANT us to think. No, I know you Brandon, you have something sneakier up your sleeve. I smell like some tribe mix up, or something like, first __ people to finish this challenge becomes a new tribe and doesn't go to tribal council. You fooled me last season with that fake-out tribe swap, I ain't fallin' for that shit again this time! I'll be ready for whatever twist you're about to throw at us >

[Host Brandon]

DAYUM

[chicken]

Well, I guess that wasn't as crazy as I thought it was gonna be. It's still a double tribal council, which sucks, considering we would've SLAUGHTERED their tribe if it was us vs them. They literally didn't have a chance to post one puzzle. Whatever tho, Bob won, which is good, considering he was a target last round, and could've been on the block again this round.

So before I get onto why Bob chose Allie and not me or Morgan, a bit of backstory: During the challenge, it was just me, Bob, Brice, and Allie. Allie out of the blue asked if she could have immunity. We all pretty much ignored the question, but she wouldn't shut up about it so I finally said "I think all of us want it, Allie, but none of us want to outwordly deny it to you," which I thought was completely fair. No response. We get to us starting to take out each other, and she takes out me first. I expected it though, considering  my response to her wanting us to hand her immunity. In fact I was trying to finish her puzzle because I figured she was gunning for me. Anyways, I posted in the group chat, but It wasn't anything accusatory or mean. Then Bob takes Allie out. Here's what ensued


*sidenote: she did not go to sleep. she stayed awake for at least another half hour or so. She likes to say she's going to sleep, then continue to stay up and talk. Chronic liars = not trustful

anyways, so she flips out, Bob tries to apologize, but it seems like she actually went to sleep. I then talk to Bob after his win, and tell him that him winning would be a great way to get back Allie. If he names Allie the leader, she gets her precious immunity, and then she doesn't stay on our tribe with a bitter vengeance against Bob, who she could likely take out on his closest ally (this guy). So Bob does just that, and so now the vote should be relatively simple. Corinne has been generally inactive since the end of the photoshop challenge, and was the only one (possibly) besides Andrea to vote against the tribe. There is only one wrench I could be foresee getting wedged in these plans. . .

LJ

In retrospect, Bob and I should've thought out better who we left with immunity on that tribe. We suspect that he could've been the Morgan vote, and if he was, he's a likely candidate to try and stir up shit in our tribe. The plan is to keep the tribe unified, tell them that if they let LJ create a divide in the tribe, they're gonna tear us apart come the merge. I'm not super worried, as I think that's a reasonable pitch. Hopefully he wont get into anyones head too much, and this tribal can go way smoother than the last one. Sorry Corinne, but you're gonna be following your monster buddy right outa this castle. You might as well call our tribe the Monster Slayers at this point >

[chicken]

So yeah, remember when i said this tribal could go way smoother than the last one?

Lol, yeah, that didn't happen

So everything seems to be going fine until Bob tells me that there's a plan to blindside Morgan. Apparently LJ told him that a page was created with him, Brice, Yve and Corinne, with the plan to blindside Morgan. It's good to know that LJ is feeding Bob information, cuz that makes me think that he's on our side, otherwise he'd have no reason to give us this info. Even though all we need is LJs vote and we have majority, we still want to get everyone else off that bandwagon, because we wont have LJ on our side together, and having the vote rely on one person not in our tribe scares me.

So we do some sleuthing, and Bob figures out it was Yve that started the page. Immedeietly, i'm pretty pissed, but it turns out she was just worried there was an alliance going on that she wasn't included in (which is true), so she made the group mostly out of worry she might be the target eventually if the alliance stays. Bob tells me she asked if there was an alliance between him, myself, and Morgan. We go over whether we should tell her or not, and we decide that the line has pretty much been drawn, and the worst that could happen is she goes against us, and we're back to relying on LJ. So Bob tells her about it, and then offers her into the alliance, with us being the main 3, and Morgan the 4th. I talk to her after Bob did his magic, and she is super into it. She already showed me her Corinne vote, and it looks like we have good numbers going into the next few challenges. I think Brice will now vote Corinne too, seeing as this is what the majority is doing. Crisis averted!

Also, I would just like to point out that I am ridiculously in love with this alliance. I was initially worried about Morgan, considering she is very, erm, unfiltered in the forum, which actually lead Bob and I to not telling her that she was a target, so that she wouldn't blow up on people. But she found out through other means, understood and forgave us (as we did to her as well) and assured us that she can turn off the bitch factor when she needs to. We then continued to just chat for like an hour. It's really awesome, I've never connected with people in these games so fast like I have with these guys. We're unbreakable at this point, and I really hope i'm able to go to the final 3 with these guys! #BBB4LYFE

*sidenote: I don't think I actually mentioned our alliance name. We're BBB: Bob's the brain, Morgan's the beauty, and of course, I am the brawn (though technically I think I classify as all three)

[chicken]

Lol definitely posted that confessional after the results. Boy am I DAYUM glad Corinne went home, otherwise I woulda just looked like a complete dumbass

[chicken]

also, really? This shit still?



Either you were too lazy to make a different vote, or you really just never got a grip of this game
