Ok so at the first tribal my squad member Brittany left like robbed queen. Nathan left too, and that's fine. The Mars vote wasn't a thrill, bad week if Josh or Brittany left. Immunity was a mess. Like we kinda got hammered overall, but OF COURSE it ULTIMATELY had to come down to a mess up on MY behalf. I typed switch instead of snitch because like what the hell is a snitch, unless we're talking about Guigi but that's a different snitch. Hey Guigi when you see this, I'm a fan.
Ahmed also told me after the challenge that because he caught the GOLDEN snitch he got this really ghetto 'advantage'. He got a mutiny pass, but like the way he explained it basically sounded like if there is 3 or more tribes and he uses it, it's RANDOMISED which tribe he goes to. That's so funny but so ghetto. I'm glad he has it though as he is obviously one of my closest allies, and that's some information I'm not gonna tell anyone. Also Ahmed and Chloe are really fond of one another so that is PERFECT.
After we lost, Ess made an alliance chat consisting of Ari, Dao, her and myself. Zach later made the alliance chat of him, Ari, Zay and myself. So Ari and I are in both alliances, Antonio in neither. The vote became established between Antonio and Zach rather fast, and people were mostly wanting to do Antonio, with Antonio doing Zach.
However, later today like Antonio and Zach paired up together and they decided they wanted to vote Dao. That's fine with me, I don't have a relationship with Dao. Nor do I really with Antonio, and my relationship with Zach ain't exactly strong based on our last game or anything.
Throughout the day I've personally flipped back and forth. I feel that I have a better relationship with Antonio, and then later tonight Dao basically offered himself as a free-vote and said that he was fine to go. I talked to Ess if she was fine with it which she WAS, then Dao was like "actually I don't know, I don't want to screw you guys" which then when I thought about it WAS a valid point. Like if Dao leaves tonight, tomorrow there is likely a 3-3 tie between Antonio [Ari, Ess and I] and Ari [Antonio, Zach and Zay]. Whilst we COULD get a revote flip, especially from someone like Zach, I'd rather not need to bother with a risk of a rock draw or any of that, and if Dao will just go tomorrow. Although, and I mentioned it to Chloe, it could be simple lies and he may have an idol, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it. I wasted like an hour searching for it but had no luck.
Right now I am gonna vote and then after 5pm tell Zay and possibly Zach that I voted for Antonio, so that like if they ARE to play an idol or something, it'll just be Dao who leaves, no one else. Although something has felt awry as hell ALL day, and I won't even be shocked if I get 26th at this point. I damn hope not because that's disgusting, and I want to be able to play with my mates.
I think we will swap soon, likely at 24. A 5x5 swap would be quality though I can't lie! ;)
RIGHT NOW I think that Antonio will leave 4-3, with Dao getting 3 votes. I kinda hope so, I'm not ready to go, and if I do, I will literally be haunted by a SNITCH for a very long time. My tribe know I'm a comp-asset, but like in All-Stars in a way it's never too early to take a shot, so they COULD. But I've preached stuff with Ess, same with Zay, same with Zach. Less so but still some with Ari, and like we've discussed the fact we have a mutual mate in Katherine, so like hopefully I'm covered enough, but I'm still nervous as hell. The fact I'm this GONE and it's literally DAY THREE. MY FIRST TRIBAL. Is quite worrying. But he we are. All-Stars baby. =]
I vote for ANTONIO. I like Antonio, I think he can be a big personality, similar to Dao-Ming, and in some ways a problematic player. If I was voting SOLELY based on tonight and not needing to consider the future rounds if we stay on this tribe, I would be voting for Dao. But there's a decent chance we lose again, so I can't take any risks at this point. Ultimately just as long as it's not me. Collapses in paranoid.
