Round 1: FIGHT!

[Matt Bischoff]

I am absolutely ready to go!! I think I ended up in a good spot, with a good tribe. It's not perfect, but I can work with it!



Saayazu

1. Marcus
2. Shawn
3. Boo
4. Zane
5. Eddie
6. Boston Rob
7. Matt


I think we have several strong players, and several not so strong players.

I like Boo.
I like Zane.
Me and Rob are basically on lock.
I like Shawn, however I dislike that it's spelled Shawn instead of Sean, let's just keep it simple, people! I think he will also be a strong stratigical ally as well.

In my eyes, Marcus and Eddy are instantly on the outs. It helps to be social, and first impressions mean a lot, and if my first impression of you is saying hi, when you are not on aim, and never getting a reply, that will not go well for you. If they are just inactive, they are out. Period. If they are active, they don't want to talk to me, therefore don't trust me, therefore I can't trust them, and they are out. Period.

Tingbani

1. Kat
2. Brenda
3. Corinne
4. Natalie White
5. Morgan
6. Stephanie
7. Danni

A very strong tribe, and are our biggest challenge threats.

Steph is in my banana bread alliance, I'm glad that she will likely be safe here.
Brenda is playing super social, and has her nose in everyone's business. However, she is an ally of mine (and so far has told me more than she should), and an ally of stephs, and that is a good thing. Can't take her to the end though, can't let her get close.
Kat is Brenda's cat. Sits on her lap, looks pretty, is nice enough. But I'm not sure weather she will hold that tribe down in challenges.
I like Danni, however, Brenda has told me that she doesn't trust Danni not to flip (I guess they had a weird conversation?) which may be useful to me, but will probably lead to her being an early target.
Corrine has not been on aim, and I have not spoken to her. Possibly inactive.
Morgan I think is...a personality. I don't see her being a challenge threat, and I hope she will annoy her tribe.

I didn't forget anyone did I? Tee hee!

Like I said, I think this tribe is the more dangerous of the two, but I think the politics will rip the tribe apart.


Nyonni


1. Laura
2. Gina
3. Natalie Bolton
4. Pete
5. Adam
6. Rafe
7. Brandon

This is a tribe of dark horses. No crystal, not dark gazelles...



Rafe, Brandon, and Nat seem to be the strongest here.
Adam may also be strong, but I think he won't be trusted (by my STRONG) suggestion to Rafe and Nat. Maybe an Adam boot would weaken them further.
Pete has yet to post an AIM, so I'm not sure how he can effectively communicate.
Gina I think will go inactive.
And Laura is kind of awkward in conversation.

This tribe could go ether way.

The first wind crystal will be hidden by a 6 character alphanumerical code. This password will give you 3 of those digits, to find the other 3 you will need to wait until next round in treemail. Dont expect the next password to be as simple as this one .



Your first three characters are:

N 7 J

[Ghandia Johnson]

So what's your opinion on the twist?

[Matt Bischoff]

I'm still trying to analyze it... Or at least a way around it LOL!

It's looking like I'm going to be the leader, so I could be up for a red crystal...
I plan on doing the water challenge when it is available...
I'm trying to look for a secret board for the wind crystal, even though I only have part of the password (but who isn't?)
And I'm going to SUCK UP to you all as much as possible to try to get the other.

BTW Ghandia, your avatar looks super hot

[Amanda Kimmel]

What ways around this twist do you think there could be? Just asking!

[Matt Bischoff]

I'm not sure yet.... I obviously want them, and I obviously don't want anyone else to have them. I think it will be most beneficial if they are just played ASAP, but that would be hard to convince everyone to do without everyone catching on.

Being aligned with the idol can be good, but if someone else finds out, you become a target. I don't want to go out with a split vote. I don't want to go out at all.

So, my best option, is to work for the idol myself, and if I can't do that, prevent someone else from getting it.

And I'm going to start, once again by SUCKING UP

Amanda, your hat is super hot on you!!!

[Matt Bischoff]

It was a great question btw!!!

As a P-Dub, or host, feel free to ask my position on anything!

I love chatting with you guys, and I know you all love insight into the game

You know me too well

I like yours too, btw <3

[Matt Bischoff]

Brenda annoys me.

I can't log in for 2 seconds with out her up my butt. It's obnoxious!

The thing is... If she's always in my business, and always talking to me, she is doing the same to everyone else. And I know she comes to me to talk shit about Adam, and Gina, and Nat W, and Danni, what is she possibly saying about me?

She is uber

There is no way she is going past final 8-9 if I have anything to say about it.

Maybe I'm making to many deals, and maybe I'm getting too close to too many people, but there is no way, if I'm going to make it to the end that I'm going to get there by playing a clean game.

My original alliance is banana bread, and I'm confident Brenda, and Kat, and Shawn, and Natilie, and Rafe CANNOT honestly promise me final 3. There is no way. We may all work loosely with each other, but I know the score already. And they had better keep up.
