entry 2- going big or going home

[Gabriel Cade]

In a confessional writing mood, so im starting a new one for the new week!

Well, with about 1/50 of the average player's post count Im in the situation of being the very weak link in the tribe's chain. Its kinda weird playing the role of that guy people have marked for prejury. I'm the person who gets targeted for being a THREAT! As long as this challenge doesn't involve puzzles or other things my phone can't handle I plan on proving myself in this next challenge. Im gonna get that inactivity target off my back even if I have to replace it with the threat target in the process.

Actually, tomorrow I will be camped out on my Dad's couch, so I'll have a computer and internet access! Huzzah! Whatever the challenge is, I wont be at a disadvantage.. unless I suck at it...

Anyway, I've been chatting up Boo and talking to Earl a bit, but it looks like my karma is already taking a hit and I still feel like they would vote me out in a heartbeat at tribal. So, my plan is to go big so I don't go home. I need to be a huge asset to the tribe, unless I feel like scrapping around for votes to stay week after week. I need to make them forget about the whole not doing anything while the tribe worked their asses off round 1 thing.

On the other tribes, someone I don't know, and Curts/Peter were booted. Curtis's ORG success is really mixed...i've seen him first boot as often as I've seen him make finals. I tend to place in the 9th-6th range almost exclusively. Dreamz will be next and I will be sad. They both told me their tribe are like this annoying hivenind. Never on AIM, unresponsive in PMs, and very vocal about stuff at TC that doesn't fit well with either of those other two things. Im calling Egpyt pregame alliance.

I have also decided to make Brett's life a living hell if the oppurtunity arises. Because he took my character. And he booted my friend. What an ass.

[Tom Westman]

Haha good luck with that! Looking forward to seeing you more active too

[Tom Westman]

Well you won very easily, do you think it will be enough?

[Gabriel Cade]

I'm hoping the effort I put into the challenge this week and talking with people might pay off, but I'm still worried and I'm still pretty damn sure I'm on the outs. I want to try to bond with Katie a bit. When our tribe was doing the challenge, we were all in a group chat. I think I was late to the party because everyone else was already in when I got there. I didn't talk much in it and felt like it was kind of a waste of time but I stayed in just to look like I was trying. Really I'm a one-on-one or very small group kin of person. I had no interest in that chat whatsoever.

Anyway, Katie sat because she was going to be late, which was a good call. She got online, started chatting me up for a good 15/20 minutes... and no one invited her into the chat at all. I finally told her we were having a chat and invited her in. I'm not sure why no one else brought her in, but if it means shes a bit on the outs, that's something that I can use to get closer to her and not be quite so alone (even though I have Danielle).

Danielle wants to work on getting a target on Kelly. Meanwhile, I have a suspicion this next challenge may be for individual immunity.... in which case, I'm going to have to win it.

[Gabriel Cade]

Worth noting: Benry went for the idol clue. Me, Spencer, and Chase went for reward.

[Gabriel Cade]

No one needs to sit out this round (IC #3)

I'm taking this as confirmation of a quadruple tc individual immunity round thing right before we all go into tribes of 2, or something. I need to win this! Unfortunately, if its anything thats actually going to TAKE 24 hours and require me to be around tomorrow and not just be a 24 hour challenge, I might be fucked. I'm moving back down to school tomorrow! My time is going to be limited for the next few days...



Anyway I'm going to do what I can to avoid a target on my back if we all go to tribal. Danielle is going to work her ass off to go after Kelly this round. Good luck, I say.

[Natalie White]

Great updates! I love checking in here to see what all is happening with your tribe.

[Gabriel Cade]

Thanks

[Gabriel Cade]

After looking through the archives, it looks like you guys really like doing elimination challenges. That's less scary than a 4-tribes going to TC deal. Danielle is worried too and wants to target Brandon if Kelly wins Individual Immunity and this round is going the scary route.

[Gabriel Cade]

Me and Danielle discussing the challenge tonight.
