Round Four Confessional Thread

[ugheddie]

Welcome to your confessional thread! Every round you will be required to upload two confessionals. You can choose between recording two separate videos each being four(+) minutes in length, or record one video four(+) minutes in length plus a written text confessional. Please make sure when uploading your confessionals to YouTube that they are UNLISTED so that way no one is able to know your truest thoughts besides the viewers and production! If you do not know how to do this or need help learning how to upload to YouTube, please message production so we can help you learn! Remember, confessionals are the best way for production/viewers to understand your game from your perspective. So don't hold anything back, just like the real show! Every round production will create a new thread with new confessional topics in case you're stumped on what to say!

Round Four Confessional Topics:


1. Were you shocked to see Josh/Miles get voted off?
2. Did you get swapped with any familiar faces? If so, how is your relationship with them currently?
3. How do you feel about your new tribe in terms of challenge strength?
4. What excites you about your new tribe? What worries you?
5. How do you plan to maneuver the social dynamics of your new tribe?

aka. I'm not actually tribe fucked. (it was my first reactions right when I was put on this tribe.

- Minga = She loves me, and she loves it when we act silly together. (she's a great person/game wise though she's super loyal and I can count on her)
- Nicole and Jack came from the green tribe (possibly one of them have an extra vote) if I had to guess it would be Nicole or silas but who knows?… They've both played a few games before. (jack is pretty cool/can talk sports with him) (Nicole is super fun and she makes me laugh which not many people can do)
- Lee came from the purple tribe (I really like him)
- Abby came from the orange tribe (she's pretty cute and she seems pretty cool) ...also she probably has an extra vote.

operation A: be super social with everyone. make sure your not the target right away
operation B: read the room (a big problem of mine is who has these extra votes) really could screw up my plans
operation C: when its game time. approach Nicole and jack or approach lee and abby

I really hope we pull out a win though, that would be huge for my game! like HUGEEE

Miles wasn't a shock at all...but Josh was a huge shock. That means the girls are taking over the game.

Dear Diary,

- So after processing everything last night from getting into the swap and meeting my new tribemates. I needed to figure out where I stood in this game, where I stood on my tribe and how could I maneuver myself into a good position and hopefully into merge.

- Also it’s extremely important to point out that there’s a green extra vote floating around as well as two orange extra votes floating around. (There’s a good chance that one of the 3 have at least one extra vote...possibly even a 2nd one)

- I’m okay with playing a ‘loyal floating game’ in this position that I am in for right now. Because all I need to figure out is how can I get to the merge with an extra vote (which I need to still get) and my idol.

- Another important note that I see happening in the game is that the women are kinda taking control of the game (8 guys, and 10 girls left)

- Honestly, it’s pretty crucial that Varia 2.0 can get the win tmr night (that would give me some breathing & a little bit of wiggle room to figure things out more) ...like if I really needed to take advantage of getting that 2nd vote and maybe using my idol in this swap. But I really don’t want to do that, and I think my social game could get me further.

- Today, I did lots of small talks to everyone just to show everyone that ‘I’m here’. But I did reach out to one person.

- So you might be asking what my next step is? Who could I possibly work with on this tribe? I think the answer is Nicole. I think that no one would expect us to work together. It’s important to get myself in with the females as well. (and it’s extremely important because she came from the green tribe...and there's extra votes around her)

- I thought It was important for me to reach out to her, to say that “I have a really good feeling about you, and I don’t think anyone would see us working together.” She seemed to take that well, as she said that I was her favourite on the call because we both could keep the conversation going (Yes she was speaking to my ego) but I also think that we could be a dominant duo in this game.

- We’re doing a video chat tomorrow. I think it’s important that she thinks that she can kind of control me (that I haven’t been able to talk about the game much because the old Varia squad won every challenge.) And I will play this loyal game with her. But little does she know I'll ultimately be controlling her.

- Nicole also mentioned that she’s been talking with Jack and Abby...meaning that I need to talk to them more tmr as well! (especially since there the ones with the extra votes)

- Overall, I just hope that team Varia can keep this winning street in tact.

- Lee seems really nice (but could be at the bottom)

- Minga is awesome! But she’s barely online. She could easily be a number for me. (if I need to vote her out, I will to get myself further in this game, and to show loyalty and give Nicole that sense of control in her eyes.

I've been meaning to do this for a few rounds now, but unfortunately health hasn't permitted me to do so. I have some amazing questions for y'all. Feel free to answer via text or answer via video

1. Who have you gelled with the most so far on this tribe? Do you see yourself going far witht his person, or is this just more short term to get through this tribe?
2. If you had to pick one person from your prior tribe that you wish was with you now, who would it be and why? You can include anyone you did swap with if that is the case.
3. Which person on this tribe seems the least trustworthy to you so far? Is this something you feel like you can use to your advantage, or do you need to "trim the fat" so to speak?
4. Do you suspect anyone on your tribe of having an idol or double vote? If so who, and what do you believe they have?
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
6. What would you say is your number one hobby? Is this something you are deeply passionate about, or is it more just to fill the time when you have it?

That's all for now

Another WIN!!

That's all for now


1) Honestly, I hate tribe swaps. Because I always get swap fucked usually. But with past experience and with me being a really social player I believe I have what it takes to rise back at the top of this tribe. I'm good at reading the room and seeing where I can maneuver my way in. I would love to keep Dominga in this game but I can see how she can rub people the wrong way. Lee is a great person, but I can see how he can be a dangerous player and could get people to flip a certain way just to put his own game forward. (he kind of reminds me of a 'Taylor' type player) and you've got to be super careful and be on your toes around him. Moving forward I would love to move and build on the relationships I have with Jack and Abby. Jack needs me in his game, while I need him in this game because the guys right now are dropping like flies. If he needs a bro, I'll be his bro. Abby is such a likeable person and I can easily communicate with her. Her mind works like mine and I could see myself working with her for a long time. Nicole hasn't talked much because of family issues, but I definitely think it's a good move to align myself with her because she came from the same tribe as Jack, and also no one would see us working together type deal. She could possibly be a potential game changer in my game. So to answer your question (Jack, Abby, Nicole) but I need to make sure my bases are covered and make sure I’m good with Dominga and Lee.

2) Kollyn. He’s alone wolf on his new tribe. He was my number 1. And who knows what he’s sharing about my idol. I rather have my eye on him. But for a relationship standpoint. I would love to have CJ on my tribe right now. But I definitely could see myself working with her again.

3) Honestly, if it was up to me I would say Lee just because he could be the most dangerous player to my game.

4) haha funny question. I suspect that Austin has an Idol. But yeah I'm really throwing Carley’s name around which could put me in danger. Because I know she will make it to the next stage because I know she’s at the top of her tribe right now. (But at least people can see she’s a force to be reckoned with.) I’m really trying to downplay that I don’t have an idol because this is my first org and I don’t really understand how to look for one. For extra votes. Abby said the other 2 girls have the extra vote. She explained herself what happened, and how she was at the bottom of her tribe, and she’s good with working with the guys. But who really knows, she could possibly have it, just like I have the idol. It would be smart of her not to tell anyone she has it. I still think she’s closer to the 2 other orange girls then she leads on.

5) Norway, have you seen the pictures? Would love to try dog sledding. It seems like a beautiful place to visit based on its nature. I’ve done a European trip… I’m saving the Scandinavian countries for another time just so I can go back to Europe!

6) #1 hobby hmmm… Just hanging out with my friends. They mean so much to me, and I can always have a good time whatever I'm doing with them.

Though I'm very anti snow/cold I've always wanted to visit Finland, so I get the Scandanavian appeal!

Thanks for answering and best of luck
