Christian (Christian37) Confessional EP:4

Confession:
Two challenge wins in a row, now thats good as i feeled i needed it. Anyway this gives me the oppurtunity to see how they do things over there. Last time they aleready shocked me with their stupidity. They voted someone active over little mr self voter. I dont know about them, but i dont celebrate weakness. From my point of view the other tribe is self destructing.

Benjamin X. (BENLINUS) Confessional EP:4

So we had a challenge today, that we were expecting to lose and were fine with that because tribal is kind of enjoyable these days. But somehow the low turnout with three from my tribe and two from Zulu meant that we could have stood a chance.

Then we realised I was on mobile, JD was on slow internet and Christian is Norwegian so had to leave because its tradition. So we figured even though Kolby was on mobile that Tim would walk the challenge, winning all his rounds and therefore bringing his tribe to victory regardless (based on how the point scoring would work back and forth etc.).

But then... Zulu blatantly try to take advantage of this by having Kolby stop talking, and Tim is now the only one giving us replies, so naturally he expects Christian will say "Kolby can go, and Tim can be the sole competitor for Zulu". This is a tactic a lot of people try and use in these types of challenges, and I honestly thought it would work. But then I'm reminded that the rules stated there must be alternating people competing, and that only one person may compete if they're the sole person online essentially. I think Tim thought they had cheated this system, but foolishly with Kolby still online... Christian called their bluff, and they lost the second point by default. Now, if Tim kept on competing it seems very likely he'd have won the challenge even if Kolby wasn't going to post because he was on mobile. For example

Tim vs Christian - Zulu score
Kolby vs JD - Tswana score
Tim vs me - Zulu score
Kolby vs me - Tswana score
Tim vs JD - Zulu score

etc. etc. etc. ... in that sense Zulu actually reach 5 before us, and we know none of us would be fasted than Tim because he dominated the last speed challenge, and the only two people for Tswana were on poor internet or mobile and pretty much willing to lose if need be. But alas, Tim threw a hissy fit and threatened to quit ... now I hate this kind of behaviour and it seems hypocritical because I defended a tribe member who said this last challenge. However, I think the circumstances were different and the tribe member who I defended said it to me privately, rather than an in challenge I QUIT LIFE HATES ME type thing.

Zulu really screwed it for themselves here. After last challenge which was noted as being sketchy, we took the hosts decision and somehow won. The other tribe told us to suck it up and got all condescending as usual. Now the tables have turned and their own tribe is admitting that they screwed up today, yet some are now trying to play victim and turn it on Tswana or Christian.

I stopped writing this confessional midway so I've slightly lost track of what the fuck I was even on about, so I'll just cut it here and if I remember anything I'll send another.

Overall, I do often think that Ben must be hating this season because it's a fucking mess, we all whine and complain (although I stand by my Challenge #3 complaints and will take that to my grave x), half the cast is kinda boring, Johnny tried voting out someone not on his tribe, we've had a quit and a medevac. I am prepared for Ben to drag us through the mud at the reunion. But I just want to say I'm really having a good time despite all this, it makes the season hilarious to play in... plus I love my Tswana tribe they're a scream. GP is lovely. JD is lovely. JP is lovely. Christian is Norwegian and Norwegians are lovely. Mike talks a bit and seems nice even though I'm still not feeling his cross tribal chat. But yeah they're great fun to socialise with, and if they backstab me then at least they gave me good content up until that point.

Jared (NewNightmare7) Confessional EP:4

So...Amanda went which was pretty cool for me because the one time I talked to her she was pretty damn rude and im like "no gurl, bye bitch" and she went bye...so good.

Then another controversial challenge happened...of course.

So Christian underscore is brought into host which was fine he seemed chill. Check in starts and me, james and other chtistian check in for Tswana...Tim and Kolby check in for Zulu. Cool whatevs I just think we have to beat Zulu if one of we want one of our plans to work out.

Christian plays a round against Tim and loses...he then leaves because he lives in UK and was probably tired or something I think so he goes. Me and James can still swap and stuff. Its my turn against Kolby and...Kolby logs off (to which he told me he is currently at a friends house and would have had a hard time participating) however, he technically still checked into the challenge and therefore was at least obligated to be put in for rounds because it was only him and Tim. Tim did not like it and got very offended at Christian (who Tim btw, already complained about the challenge...he hates every challenge. Like if you hate every challenge why play? For your social game you dont have?) saying its rigged in our favour...which isnt true and i feel bad for Christian because hes just here to guest host and he doesnt know what to do.

Anyways, Tim leaves the game too so me and James continue the rounds and win the challenge. From what I have heard Tim is now threatening to quit the game. I cant comment on this because I did do the same thing last challenge however I believe there is a difference in our threats and the overall technicality of last challenge (which we did accept that nothing really change...). Theres a thing that says Tim was trying to get Kolby to leave the challenge so he can carry the win because he has god speed. I swear he must have had to bribe his internet provider for that.

So now the host after his work is going to have a chat to which I am mentally preparing myself for.

Aside from that, I am trying to get Kolby to hopefully flip and vote out Tim come the merge (if he doesnt quit) because he really needs to go and if I want someone to go far with on that side I want it to be Kolby because he is a really cool person...

Im still loyal to my choir and that comes first I love talking to them they are fun and are making this season enjoyable for me.

However,  I feel like bigben is just hating on this season because of all of this drama which I do apologise for. I dont mean to cause anything or hurt the host because he really is trying his best to be concise and fair in these situations. I wouldnt be surprised if he puts this season last in his rankings lmao. I would too for all of this and with a medevac, a quit (possibly another) and all these self votes...like damn.

Until the chat, I listen to Lady Gaga "YASSSS GAGAAAA"

GP (Survivorgame1) Confessional EP:4

*sits on a rock*
Well, well, well. While you might be thinking I would join the likes of Chelsea Townsend, Natalie Tenerelli, Purple Kelly, and other wildly unforgettable COASTERS [Yes Coasters, not Floaters]... I have a different plan!
Now you making be thinking, what has GP done in this game beside voting with their alliance..well, I haven't done shit! But thats all going to change now.
Now before you get annoyed or hyped for a messy next boot... No I will not be trying to pull off the biggest blindside ever this next tribal. I understand I dont have the social power to do so yet.
Im sitting pretty fucking comfy in my 'All Sinners Choir' alliance that consists of: Me, JD, Ben, and JP! I need to make connections with these people though. I know JD & Ben will be the big players of this alliance, figure heads would you will.
I need a tight relationship with one of them, and my mans of choice is Ben! We really get along, i know hes a smart player so I have to latch on and make sure he trusts me.
then we have JP... JP and I (in my eyes) are outshone by the other two. I need JP as a resource when we inevitably have to break from this alliance and make a move. But overall, I think im in an amazing position so far!
Just a confessional to let you know, I may just be there and going through the motions, but im always thinking ;)

So Zulu didn't vote out one of the two people we want gone from that group - very sad. Right now JD and Kolby seem to have an alright connection going on, and we know JP and Kolby will want to work together too so hopefully he can join the All Sinners Choir at the merge. Additionally, I've been talking to Eoin thanks to another group game we've just both been cast in, and he and I have the opportunity to work together now. It's interesting because Eoin was actually one of the first friends I had on this site way back in 2010, and we stayed friendly up until 2011 I think? When we MAJORLY fell out and yeah... it wasn't pretty, and I don't remember a large chunk of our arguments and hate blogs but it was very petty childish stuff. We were both young so it's in the past. I left the site for about a year and a half I believe and when I returned in 2015, he joined my series and we were civil. We didn't speak much but things were and have been cool between us since.

So after my 2.5 year break he actually did message me and we talked a bit about random stuff, I think he made a reference to something that must've annoyed me in 2012 but ... that was ages ago and I really can't remember Tengaged stuff that much. But yeah, hopefully that's good because then we can have a working relationship in this game and avoid any drama, as I don't think either of us have any ill feelings there.

So for this next challenge, I believe we'll be sitting out GP. That's fine with me even though myself and JD have been saying for daysssss (apparently we both said it in our confessionals too so yay) that we want to return to tribal to collect a souvenir to give to someone on the other tribe. Our biggest worry was how can we throw a challenge without obviously looking like we threw a challenge ... which brought us beautifully onto the next portion of life where JP mailed JD and said "we could throw the next challenge to get out (insert name)". Delicious. So now JP wants to do it, JD and I can be like wow good idea and go along for that ride. We attend tribal, do some dirty deeds and we hopefully merge at ten.

Howevahhhh ... there's always the risk we don't merge at ten, and the person we're going to potentially vote out might be useful for us at the first merge vote. But I don't like question marks... and this person is a question mark and always will be to me in this game. Expect us at tribal, if we don't go then so

JD (NewNightmare7) Confessional EP:5

Well, here we go...the final tribal challenge before the merge (allegedly...) and im excited to see how its gonna go down...considering 4 of us are actually not gonna compete in this challenge.

GP cant because hes sitting out obviously. Me and Benji however, have made a plan a few days ago after the check in challenge that if we win the final 12 immunity, we would throw the 11 challenge in order to get out a big threat before the merge and has a high chance of flipping to the other side...I was gonna be like "can you guess who?" But probably everyone knows who this target is and Benjamin probably said it in a confessional...

Its Mike. I like him alot hes really nice he just cant make it far in this game because he will win. In the first Gen in Maldives, him and Newz cut me the vote before merge because AJ framed me as the one who threw away a vote...so this is also a bit of revenge but not really that was a long ass time ago.

So we had us two for sure so over the course of these 2 days we were trying to entertain getting rid of Mike to JP, then today I beat around the bush of "I dont know if having Mike at the merge would be good for us" and he comes in like "Maybe, we can put a stop to it if you know what I mean" and winks and what I really want to say was "of course I know what you mean Im the one bringing it up to you" but no I have to be like "good idea im in" so yeah.

Now regarding the challenge, me, JP and Benjamin are also not playing the challenge and using the excuse of mobile activity/cant really screenshot the way the host wants it on a mobile. This is actually true for me though cause I dont have a computer. But I can still play the challenge on my phone if I really wanted to...I dont want to.

Talking to Kolby earlier, he says he feels excluded from his tribe and especially does not like Tim which im like "oh yas queen come join our cult and we will make sure your sacrifice is painless" but what I wanted to do was like make sureee that he felt unsafe next vote if his tribe lost because then I can show him I want to work with him by going like "I dont mind helping you if you need it"...he then stopped replying a little while afterward so im like...shit but oh well.

So, talking with JP some more and our conversation moves on to RuPauls Drag Race (which is amazing) and we were talking about the All Stars 4 cast...hes like "im rooting for Monet X Change" and im like "Im rooting for Manila Luzon" because I love her...like shes hot in and out of drag lmao. And then he goes "Ngl, Kim Chi >>>>>>>>>>>>> Manila" and...."bitch you better take that back" and he goes "Manila is overrated" and I almost had a heart attack...whatever showmance we possibly could have had is now over because he thinks improperly...I will calm down from this but I will not forget this...he must pay whether or not that means his life in the game :p

Im so petty like fuck.

UPDATE
----------

Wow, this is extremely interesting.  It looks like Tswana is going to throw the challenge to take out Mike due to the fact they're worried he'll flip to Zulu.  Tswana hopes they'll be able to swing Kolby over due to his relationship with JD and JP.  I don't like this move mainly due to the numbers evening up and there goes some of Tswana's leverage.  Plus, I haven't gotten anything from Kolby inclined he's planning to flip right away.

Also, I have to say Tim definitely needs to win this first individual immunity challenge come the merge or he's toasted.  My guess is if Tim won immunity they'll end up targeting Andrew.

**Regarding Mike**

We decided on this a while back, and we are now going to be going forward with it. On a personal level I like you and have respect for you, but you've made it difficult for nay of us to see a future for you alongside our alliance. Your pitch to me was a cross-tribal with Turney, and that isn't appealing to me, and just suggests that you'll be eager to switch on us at the merge. You could have been apart of our alliance, but a few people have said you weren't easy to get a read on, nor did you approach too many of us until we'd already lost challenges. I could relate to this as you didn't reply to my initial mail after you replaced the multi, and when you approached me on Skype you admitted you didn't fully even clock it was me at first you were talking to. Does that mean you had no real intention of talking or working with me? Perhaps. Either way, by that stage we already had our alliance...

I feel as though this decision really makes us out to be the bastards of this season... it's scummy as hell but we're looking out for our own, and ensuring the people we want out on the other tribe has no wiggle room when it comes to a merge.

JD (NewNightmare7) Confessional EP:5

Sorry I didnt write one last night, I should have but I got very tired...

This challenge was a beautiful mess. Mike was the only one to actually submit a score and that will probably send a huge message to the other tribe...I didnt want to/couldnt send in anything, JP felt the same and Benji had no accident in sending his score.

Mike just has to go. He feels alienated, is a huge threat, and a potential flipper come merge and thats not good for my choir. I know Me, Benji, and JP are all voting him, GP will once he sees the messages (if he doesnt, I made sure to write him a mail here) and Christian...i dont know man, he wants to work with Mike and rather vote out GP or JP and im like "ok, lets work on another project ok?" So now we either have to get him to join our cult or leave him hanging on the upside down cross.

I hope this works out, if it doesnt, oh well whatever. If it does "Halleloo, im back bitchesssss" (Sorry, I have alot of Shangela in my head lol)...lets go
