STRATEGIES!? ALLIANCES!? SHOWMANCES!? AND THOSE DAMN CRYSTALS!
OK boys and girls..Boston Rob here for what looks to be a crazy ass season. I haven't done any confessionals but this is just the first of MANY.
Basically I am going to speak about some of my thoughts on some other players and what my strategy is.
My goal coming in was to align myself with a solid group of 6 people. Something told me not to wait for tribes and do this before hand. I began to talk to everyone and see what conversations would stick.
Off the bat, Myself, Stephanie and Matt. We spoke for a long time and the conversation really didn't seem forced at all. What I wanted and ongoing is try not to be the main person to push a alliance. I rather someone else bring it up so no one is suspicious about anything on my end.
It worked well because Stephanie immediately gravitated to me for whatever reason. MORE ON THIS LATER. We then spoke more and more and she told me she had only talked to Matt, with a few indirect hints we were talking to Matt and cemented a 3 way deal.
TRIBES ANNOUNCED
So I lucked out and at least one of my allies were in my tribe, Matt. We discussed a proper strategy whether we should work together and get a sub alliance with 2/3 other tribe members OR perhaps he should take 2 tribe members and let me take 2 tribe members and split it down the middle so we can keep tabs on where everyone's head is at. Splitting is up would be too risky as every vote in tribal would look weird.
We went a different route and decided to find 2 other members to work with. We both separately began to talk to Shawn. Surprisingly after a while Shawn made a offer that he and I work together and bring in Matt. I pretended to be a bit wary of Matt but ended by saying he seems trustworthy and cool. So thus solidifying myself, Matt and Shawn and tribe alliance. But it wasn't over yet. We needed a 4th. We thought about possibly Marcus or Boo.
Zane is in a different time zone and i haven't spoken to him. Eddie seems to be a waste. I am positive Eddie is at the bottom of the totem pole and Zane isn't too far behind.
TIME FOR CHALLENGE
The challenge was a pretty cool idea. More importantly it gave some of our tribemates a time to sort of bond. Before the challenge Shawn had really wanted to be our MVP and said he'd be on from start time to 9AM the next morning and alot during the next day. I figured wow, that's over 13 hours plus the next day periodically. So my immediate instinct was hell yes. Boo also offered. It came time to challenge and surprise, surprise NO damn Shawn.
Anyway we went with Boo after waiting. Shawn came on later and made up some bullshit about his brother fighting him to use the CPU. Overall Shawn was a huge fail.
Boo, myself, Marcus and Matt really threw the tribe on our shoulders and went from start until around 2am trying to pile up laps. The next day we continued on and eventually won immunity.
While most people were like awwww crap we didn't win first place. The honest truth is I DIDN'T WANT FIRST PLACE. That fire crystal is a very powerful crystal. A double vote can be really huge. At some point in time I am sure it'll come to play. Right now I am uncomfortable to have someone with that type of power in the same tribe as me. So I didn't mind the tranny group winning. TRANNY GROUP?
Right, we've comprised names for the other two tribes. The all girl tribe is TEAM MUFF and the multigendered tribe is TEAM TRANNY.
POST CHALLENGE
After the challenge Marcus, myself Boo and Matt continued to talk and Marcus basically told me we have a strong core of 4 players and we should take this forward with a alliance. Boo felt the same way. Of course this is what Matt and I were looking for so we were on board, in addition no one is the wiser Matt and I are already together.
Word got around that Boo/Marcus weren't too impressed with Shawn's lack of participation in the challenge. ONLY because he promised to be on for hours and didn't put forth the effort he promised. In reality Eddie is the at the bottom however. I like the fact this is going on...If Eddie/Shawn are on one side and Boo/Marcus on the other side that leaves us in the middle. Of course we'd side with Boo/Marcus however that will keep us out of the heat and that's always good.
To sum it up I like Matt he seems really genuine..I HOPE. To a lesser extent I like Marcus and Boo as well...and, Stephanie...well, yeah..still gonna get to that later.
Outside of my tribe I have spoken to Danni but she seems to be a target at tribal so screw her. I have had great conversations with Brenda but she seems like she has that with alot of people, not necessarily genuine. I've spoken to majority of the rest as simple "hi how are you" but nothing in depth.
OVERALL PLAN
What I would really like is for myself, Matt, Marcus, Boo, Stephanie, Brenda and 2 others to make it to merge and team up. I really think we have a good shot at this because Stephanie is working hard on Brenda, Corrine and one other. If she gets in really good with them then Stephanie myself and Matt are the bind that would hold it together and that would give us some great power. Obviously I don't know where everyone elses head is.
Who knows I may be at the bottom and everyone else is plotting against me making fun of me being so vulnerable but in this game you have to take risks, chances and trust someone. I instill my trust in Matt and Stephanie. If they screw me then my whole game is screwed plain and simple. That doesn't mean I won't make other avenues because believe you me, I will.
CRYSTALS....DAMN...
REGARDING THE CRYSTALS..THOSE DAMN CRYSTALS....I have told everyone, oh it seems great and may change the game, alot of power to be gotten...IN REALITY...I HATE THE DAMN CRYSTALS. I HATE THE IDEA THAT ALL THIS POWER IS FLOATING ALL OVER THE GOD DAMN PLACE. I have to worry about people screwing me over or me fucking up in a challenge and untop of that these DAMN CRYSTALS! /endrant
AWWWW....YOU ARE SUCH A SWEET ASSHOLE!
Now, to end....my showmance. Stephanie. She has really latched on to me. We spoke on AIM alot and I was flirting with her and visa versa. She told me straight up whatever I want her to do to let her know and she'll do it. She admitted she likes me and thinks I'm sweet and all that other crap. Now truth is she is a very nice girl, very sweet and etc etc. But I don't know if she's playing me for a fool. Although she is nice I need her in this game. If I play this right I will set her up to be my pit-bull and keep her ears and eyes open for me.
I know I am gonna get "what a ass" but come on guys you've played this game before. You know you love it, its why your watching this right now. Any means necessary. I need Stephanie to be a "Boston Rob girl". Now in future confessionals you'll here alot about her. Don't get me wrong...although I am going to play her doesn't hurt to have some fun with her at camp...especially at night....have her looking like this...
and well yeah.
CLOSING CONFESSIONAL NUMERO UNO
LOVE ME, HATE ME, RESPECT ME...IT DOESN'T MATTER...I HAVE MY EYE ON THE PRIZE AND BOSTON ROB WANTS TO GET TO THE END. I AM PREPARED TO SCREW ANY AND EVERYONE TO GET TO THE END. I KNOW I CAN TALK MYSELF SOMEHOW TO THE WIN. I WANT THIS AND I WANT IT BAD. THE FOUNDATIONS HAVE BEEN SET, THE BLOCKS HAVE BEEN LAID. I WANT THIS.
REGARDING MY UNREQUITED "LOVE" FOR STEPHANIE, MAKING SUB ALLIANCES UNTOP OF MAJOR ALLIANCES, SIDE DEALS...ALL OF IT. WILL SOME PEOPLE BE HURT??? WILL I BE HATED?
FOR THE SOLE TITLE OF : SURVIVOR....I SAY:
