Dana | Confessional, Day 2, Pre-Tribes
*steps off the helicopter*
I’m back! My first time was cut short because my original tribe fucked up and didn’t vote out the obvious going-to-be flipper, and I got Keith’d from South Pacific, minus the redemption island.
Anyways, that’s in the past. I’m here to beat my past and hopefully make it to the end. I always struggle making it to the end because a lot of people view me as a threat. It’s definitely because of my reputation and the fact I’m a female, but that doesn’t bother me. I love the challenge. It makes other people scared of what I can do.
As far as this cast, it’s cute... then some. The other two returnees are interesting. Clair and Erik have each other added. Clair is a really good old friend of mine. Erik is a liar. Definitely not going to be sticking with him, but I want to work with Clair here. Love her.
The leadership twist is interesting, but also damaging. Whenever I play these games, I tend to stay loyal with my original tribe. With this twist, that can change every single day and I have to figure it out as I go. Still, I’m pretty much secured the title as the first leader. Clair told everyone she didn’t want it and (pretty much) everyone has told me they’ll vote for me or it’s just silent majority.
This is perfect. I can start off my tribe right with the people I want. Looking at the newbies, I have great connections with Brittany, Eli, Garrett, and Riley. The tricky part is the other two captains don’t want Brittany, and she’s on my friends list, but Eli is her enemy. I need them both on my side, though. Cai and Jacob also introduced themselves to me and I like them both thus far. If I win this election, then my tribe will probably consist of something along these lines.
Additionally, there are some problems. Kyle is definitely a game player. The guy was acting very upfront and stubborn right after the twist announcement and I just didn’t like his attitude. Clair said she can deal with him, though, so that’s out of my hands. Other red flags are Josh and Newz. Eli told me he voted out Josh in a game recently and I’m obviously friends with Eli. Pretty sure Erik and Newz are friends, plus I just have bad history with him.
Everyone else I have yet to talk to yet. So, my strategy would then be to win this election and form tribes that benefit Clair and I, but not Erik. Also, I would want myself on a tribe where I could have a majority and one odd man out, who we could vote out first? Possibly throw the challenge to get out a potential number against us down the road?
From talking with Eli, that might be Josh. Eli and Garrett are close allies, as they played in my game recently, so I have every incentive to put myself on a tribe with the two of them. That’s 3 of 6 right there. I’m likely putting Riley with me, too, as we are good. That’s 4 of 6. The fifth person I definitely want to be somebody on my side, but not so distant that they become the target over the person I pick as the target, being Josh. I’ll have to decide soon enough.
Anyways, that’s it so far. It’s been 13 hours? And I’m already in the spotlight. I guess they just love the idea of putting the entertainer as the leader :)
