I want to know, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND DEVISED THE PINK TRIBE? Who thought it was a good idea to group all of the psychopaths from seasons past and put them on one tribe together for all hell to break loose?
I'm actually so excited, this game is going to SO FUN. I took Santorini very seriously, and I was honestly so upset when I got voted out -- I kind of gave up when the vote tied, I was so exhausted from trying to beat Johnny and constantly working on my positioning, only to see idols and immunities dictate my fate -- I sort of laid down and died by the end, because I just couldn't motivate myself to beat Eric in fire-making and go up against Johnny for Survivor Pyramid.
And then I had a lot of regret. I got along so well with Johnny, we were having FUN, so why did I side with the objectively more boring alliance? It kept me in the numbers, sure, but was it worth it? I don't think so.
That's why, this season, I am playing with the psychopaths. Y'all probably put me on this tribe to balance out, like, the vastly different personalities exemplified by Kelly and DanielSnooz. The OTT crazies vs. the Gamebots. But I want to play this game with the crazies.
I played heroic last time, stuck to my alliance, and I'm going to do that again -- I always find it cringey when people are like "I was loyal last time, THIS time I'm going to be a complete cock and backstab everyone to show my VERSATILITY." I have no interest in that. I want to choose people to play with and either sweep the game with them or go down in flames.
So, Kelly and I hit it off immediately. The second he messaged me after the cast reveal, I said, "I'm sheeping you." I feel like we're going to be a perfect duo this season -- I am a little more stable, so maybe I can reel him in a bit, and he is so in-your-face and high-speed that he can rope people together and go to war while I chill in the background.
In the meantime, I'm getting to know people. Daniel messaged me, and I think he assumes we're going to work together because I have this "Brovivor status" that Richard so kindly pointed out in my cast intro, and even though he isn't technically a "Brovivor," it seems like he has that same heterosexual laid-back gamebotty energy to him.
But I do NOT identify with the crusty Brovivors, and I will not be playing that way this season. Other than that, I talked with Johnny and made amends there -- I think we're fine, I don't expect him to fully trust me but over time maybe I can prove that I actually took a lesson from Santorini and learned to play with the people I like. I also introduced myself to Absol, who seems funny and nice - I don't care that he's a three time player, that is literally zero concern to me - and I talked to Brady and Nathan as well, both nice, not sure if they're going to factor into my game at all.
On the OTHER tribe, I want to work with Sagar because DAD. I don't think he even really remembers, but we used to have a rivalry in Suitman's -- he took me out one season, I took him out the next, and it was always these neck-and-neck votes that were very exciting, and we kind of fake-hated each other, but ever since I just think he's hilarious and a king and I want to work with him even if he's like "who the fuck are you I barely remember you." I also want to work with TYLER, we hit it off months ago in Big Ben's game, but I pulled the same shit I did with Johnny, where I went with a boring majority alliance and gave him first boot after the two of us had a really great conversation and seemed to be hitting it off. I think he forgives me, and I would love to work with him this time for real.
Obviously, from my seasons, Eric and Rick are over there as well. I'm not sure I'll end up working with either of them -- Rick and I have never been able to get on the same page and actually trust each other, and Eric, I don't know, we played really well together last time but for so
