Day 1: Ellie M. // Idols
Okay, I'm ready!
Confessional #1
Wooo! I've been casted for V&W's Survivor! So far, I haven't had much of a chance to see who is on the other tribe, but I have gotten a good chance to talk to the people on my tribe!
I woke up this morning to hear that Jacob was on the bottom unanimously, with the tribe deciding to vote him out 7-1. As Jacob is one of the only players to talk to me, around 4 hours before tribal, I did a little bit of work to get Jacob to scramble (as he wasn't aware he was the name) and tried to rally up three other votes for him.
I'll start my summary in order from least conversation to most conversation:
Dao-Ming: The only conversation I have from Dao is this morning when she wanted me to vote for Jacob. Dao wasn't open to other conversation & comes across as a sheep. I have determined that Colin does have a prior relationship with Dao-Ming that may be a little dangerous later on in the game.
I believe Dao-Ming is voting for Jacob.
Brad: I've had minimal conversation with Brad, but with some of the others being solid in their votes, Brad was one of the numbers that was essential to flipping this vote. Luckily, Jacob and I were able to get to Brad and convince him that it's a better idea to keep Jacob around for the strength of the tribe. I believe that Brad is going to float as far as he can until he runs out of relationships because he will find his lack of communication as a downfall.
I believe Brad is voting for Luis.
David: David takes FOREVER to reply lol. Kind of the same deal with Brad, their conversational skills lack in detail and they both seem to go with whatever idea comes to them last, and that may be an issue later on in the game. David seems like he is easily influenced and if you come to him saying you have the numbers, he will flip on a dime.
I believe David is voting for Luis.
Bob: Bob is very nice, but he's also very hard to talk to. I did go to Bob and tried to get him to change his vote, but he was very stubborn and insisted that nobody try to rock the vote and to keep everything the same. Coming in as a noobie, I would like to agree with him, but I also do not want to be labeled as a floater. I want to build a RESUME in this game, and unfortunately I don't see myself making it very far with Bob as of right now.
I believe Bob is voting for Jacob.
Luis: I love Luis tbh. He's very friendly, he lives in California close to where I was born. If it wasn't for Jacob being so friendly to me and reaching out to me with open arms, I would be thinking twice about this vote, but unfortunately I don't see Luis as the type of person to stand up for you.
I believe Luis is voting for Jacob.
Colin: Colin is my #2 right now. Luckily he also likes to root for the underdog and I was able to get Colin to do most of the pushing to David in an attempt to keep my name clean. However, I think Colin is very cautious and doesn't want to rock the boat. I don't think Colin wants to be caught on the wrong side of the numbers, and I think his paranoia about David and Brad will cause him to vote for Jacob tonight.
I believe Colin is voting for Jacob.
Jacob: Jacob is honestly the type of player I aspire to be. He's a threat, he knows he's a threat and he owns it, but he's also a very sociable player. I love people that don't let their arrogance get to them and shut people out. I knew when I heard his name, I had to light the fire under him because I knew that he would be able to woo people enough to get the votes.
I believe Jacob is voting for Luis.
Okay so - in the process of all of this, I'm getting a lot of messages about the vote from Luis and Bob. I really do believe Colin is voting with them against Jacob, and I'm worried this plan may not go through, but I am sticking strong.
My vote is to evict LUIS.
