Ending round 1 and going into round 2 optimistic.
The challenge went amazing. Marcus suprised me a lot! Going from not speaking to anyone to leading the tribe. I think he will be a great ally.
Boo, as a leader, did alright. His issue was that he was doing way to slow in the beginning to keep up with the other early runners. He was falling behind about 20 posts every time he had a turn. Me, Rob, and Marcus all kind of figured this out, and tried to minimize the turns he got. Which was hard to do, him being the MVP.
Shawn, however, did not impress the tribe. He went from being potential MPV to being a partial no show. He is still someone I can utilize in the long run, if this tribe goes downhill (EX: it's me, rob, boo, Marcus, and Shawn, me and rob can use Shawn to avoid a 2-2 tie the next round, HOWEVER this is an unlikely sceniero). Also, it keeps Shawn out of the loop, and if we have to get rid of him, it also works in our favor to keep him away from Kat.
Zane tried in this challenge, he really did. I know the time difference is hardest for him, and I like chatting with him. I just hope he doesn't become a hinderance.
As for team Tranni's win....
I'm not all that impressed. By the end of the night Brandon was crushed that his tribe was losing. Nat was broken. Half the tribe were no shows. Gina as their strong leader, went to bed early. That tribe is just a mish-mash of sub par players. We could have faught harder to beat them, but we didn't need to. That tribe will tear itself apart. It's just a paper dragon, and I'm not scared.
As for team Muff....
I hear there may be some fireworks. Natalie W was not their only weakness, they could have handled it with 1 less person. They could have handled it with 3 people, but they couldn't get that together. That tribe is in trouble...
And finally... the sneaky things I am up to.
1.Still hitting in PW and Hosts (BTW Ted are you losing weight? You are looking super buff these days!)
And 2. I want Brenda to damage her tribe further. I don't think it will work all that well but...
She is pretty mad at Danni and (I think) Morgan. If I can get her to vote one of them out, we could possibly fatally cripple that tribe. If I can convince her that if she voted one of them out, and Natilie self votes, that we are likely to swap, which would be in her best interest. It is a long shot, and I will bring it up as a joke, but I want to plant a little Russell seed in her small little simple mind that the grass is WAY greener in my side. If I can get her to something like that, or even Mutiny (yeah, that has about a -98% chance of happening) I can weaken her and her game.
Just a little side project.
Till next time (Amanda, Roxy, Ted, Ghandia, and Artis you sexy beasts)
