I can't believe I was picked to play Survivor. Like  I'm sooo excited for this thing to start, especially being so close to the beginning. I'm getting jitters thinking about it ;D I think that my tribe might underestimate me because I'm an older woman, but I can def hold my own out there. I'm strong, I'm smart, and I plan on winning this whole thing. Good luck to the other players, because they wont know what hit 'em. |

So we get to the beach and everyone's pumped to start our adventure. Then Bradley throws a curve ball and already on day 1 we need to earn our spots! So I ran off and starting searching for my buffs, digging like crazy, checking the trees, like madness. I start to see people find buffs and I'm just like, I gotta hurry up. At first I saw an Espada buff, but I knew from Bradley's announcements that all the big strong guys were on La Flor. I made the decision to keep looking, and during that whole time I really started freaking out. If I had gone home because of this, I would've been pissed. I'm searching away and then I see this hint of yellow peeking out from under a rock, and I just sprinted towards it like there was no tomorrow. And I got it! So now I'm on the La Flor tribe and I'm ready to start this thing and have the adventure that I've always dreamed of |

Today I talked a little bit to Jimmy T. He wasn't very talkative though  Like we got to absolutely no game talk, and it was just like saying we're both good then silence. REALLY awkward  Anyways, just from what I've seen of people posting, Jimmy J is gonna get on my nerves. Tyrone seems to be a nice guy, I just haven't talked to him yet. Unfortunately, I can't really say much about my other tribemates so far... All I know is that they're there. |

I went to get water with Tyrone, to try to get to know him better. He is a really nice guy, and we hit it off. So he let me in on the fact that he and Jimmy J have something together. I was like ok... but then I brought up that maybe we could be a trio, which would hold a LOT more voting power. Even though it's only 3/9, it's better than being a single vote. We made a pact, kinda, and are planning to look for a fourth and maybe a fifth person. I've talked to Jimmy T so maybe he'd be a possibility, and I tried to get some time to talk to Holly, because she's the only other woman on the tribe. I feel like I might be joining in as the third, but there's always room to move up with whoever our fourth or fifth may be. Like if it comes down to it, I could easily be a swing vote. Anyways, I'm feeling pretty secure on my tribe at the moment. |

OMG our first real challenge I was pumped and got really into that puzzle. I think I did really well for my tribe, because I did have the fastest time I still think we're gonna lose because, welll, Marty sucks. Like out of all the people here, he's by FAR the worst competitor. I can't believe he managed to get on a tribe. Anyways, I think we're tribal bound tonight  However, I'm almost 100% sure I'm safe ^_^ My connections with Tyrone and Jimmy J and secure, and I started talking a LOT to Holly. We've really hit it off. As much as I think Jimmy J is useless, he's a vote and is tight with Tyrone, so I'll put up with him. If he starts to weigh us down, though, I have no problem cutting him loose. So anyways, I think the tribe concensus if we do go to Tribal is very anti-Marty, but even though that is the clear cut route, I might vote differently just to stir up some suspicion in Tyrone and Jimmy J against the others. Kinda make them wary so that they stick closer to me... So I have options to think over, but I can guarantee Marty's pretty much gone from our tribe. |

I decided not to try to stir stuff up this early... Next tribal will be tougher, but hopefully me, Tyrone, JJ, and Holly can all survive. I really need to start talking to Shannon and the younger guys though. They haven't said anything to me and I wanna make sure that I don't get on their bad side, or appear disposable.

Well right now my strategy is to stick with Holly and Tyrone. Unfortunately, Tyrone comes with Jimmy Johnson, and he really annoys me. Something about him just irritates me. For one thing, the whole tiebreaker thing problem put a bad taste in a lot of the Espada's mouths because he wouldn't shut up despite not being the person doing it. Also, he chose to be the puzzle person for the next challenge, when he was the worst puzzle solver we had in the first challenge. Just going by who did the best I should be doing that puzzle. But no, he's doing it -_- On the bright side, if he screws it up, we can easily get him out |

I've been talking to Shannon and Holly a lot about the upcoming vote. It seems to me that the concensus is either Sash, or JJ. Sash hasn't done anything this game, and just adds weight to the tribe. JJ, on the other hand, it just plain annoying. Like he tries, but he irritates pretty much everyone. I could go either way, but maybe voting out JJ now would give me an extra buffer in useless Sash and Tyrone, who'd then be on the outs. And of course, there's still Chase and JT, who also don't have strong claims to stay. Overall, I think JJ might be the better route to go this week, because we'll have opportunities to get Sash out down the road.

Yay JJ left! Our plan came together and I am now in a majority on La Flor Of course, now there's gonna be a twist. Watch it be a tribal swap that's definitely gonna separate me from Holly and Shannon With any luck if there is a swap I'll wind up with at least one of them on my tribe. |

Naturally we get switched up just when I'm in the best position I could be on La Flor. At least I'm still on the same tribe as Holly. I don't know what I'd do without her so... Lucky me? Hopefully this new tribe will be able to mesh well and I'll be able to get back on top.

So I was talking to Holly, and I had a brainwave on how to get us to the top of this new Espada tribe. Our plan is to blindside Dan tonight. We've been trying to convince the old Espadas to vote for JT, and Dan seems to want to do that. Then Holly, Chase, JT, and I are gonna vote for Dan. Holly's gonna use her double vote, and then, barring the idol, we have 4-3 majority. That gives us options, and it could be in our best interests to throw the next two challenges to boot two Espadas, then the four of us reconnect with whomever's left of old La Flor at the merge. So much good go wrong, but hopefully we can pull this off.

OMG IT WORKED ;D Like WOW... I hoped that it would happen, and it did Plus Benry voting for JT... He's outside of the Espada alliance, so he might switch to our side. Honestly, this went the BEST way it could've. Dan was a dangerous player, and taking him out now was our best option, so it's great to see him go. Now we need to determine whether or not Yve has an idol like she claims. I don't think she does, but if Benry flips, we can split the vote just in case... Just saying, but I"M SOOOOOOOO HAPPY THAT THIS WORKED!!!!!! Like I need to do a happy dance ;D |
