Ok so I was gonna TRY be quiet for a day, but tribe swap so ... nope. Before hand, I spoke to Zay as he was mad about me not telling him the vote was Antonio, and to be fair I like took it from the alternative approach and I totally saw where he was coming from, I just didn't consider it in the moment really. Bad move on my part. But we moved on, we're still chill, so that's all I really wanted to get out of that conversation really.
Chris got voted off which was unfortunate, Mike was in the minority, like that's the best minority two ever. The tribe swap went SOOOOO good. Daniel got SO screwed so I feel bad for him, but overall went well. I hope Daniel makes it out alive, he's in my top few people in this game totally, like he's 100% up there with like Ahmed and Chloe. That's my top 3, as of now anyway. I hope Chloe is fine, her and Ess are together so hopefully they dominate together.
Ahmed C. // FighterMan - Ok Ahmed is like one of my closest mates in the game, obviously very strong at challenges too, so I'm glad to be here with him.
Britt B. // BrittBritt - Queen, another great mate of mine, no doubts over her.
Dao-Ming N. // Jinxh - Initially I wasn't gonna work with Hunter but like on Apollo we DID work together, so I know we're fine.
James R. // J2999
Kelly K.// Kelly2722 - Well I've not played a game with Kelly since Mozambique, and I know he finds me shady in games, but like we'll see.
Layla J. // LaylaLove - Layla's my ... least-connected person on the tribe. I don't really know her, but like Chloe likes her so I'm fine to work with her ... later in the game, also a fellow winner.
Mike E. // Survivor8 - Mike's a REALLY good social player and someone I deem a decent mate yeah, he wants Layla gone, and I definitely have his back.
Sydney D. // Guigi - Glad I'm with the production plant himself now! He's really had the easiest ride, like he benefited MOST from the original tribes, and does again here, good on you Guigzzzzzzz.
Wes K. // Bluejay7622 - Wes king. Another good mate! I 100% have Wes' back, and he has mine, so smiles.
For me it's the fact I've got THREE people on this tribe on my front page, and Britt is at like the very top of page 2. I've also got Mike on my friends list, so we're literally chilling.
I know Dao and Sydney are close, like Sydney told Dao to work with me in OG tribes. Sydney and Wes are also close, and Dao wants to work with Wes. Ahmed kinda wants Dao out, which we'll see, but like Mike is targeting Layla. Ahmed ALSO told me that Britt is targeting Layla [makes sense, they didn't work together last season], so right now Layla is the likely boot if we lose, but like there's still so much time, that's just the first vibes.
My game for now is gonna consist of going to the 5 people I'm mates with and being like "yoooo! so glad we're together! I got your back" which like isn't a lie and it's stuff I can say with room to spare, then I'm also gonna talk to the others.
Unsure if any idols have been found, and if yes who by, but I know I feel set at least. The only thing that would screw me over this swap, unless I'm literally dense as hell and all my mates want me gone, is getting idoled out. I'm also hoping that like Chloe, Daniel and Ess are fine. Like Chloe/Daniel because I've got full loyalty, and Ess was my closest ally on Apollo 100% so I hope to get the chance to play with them all [again]!
Enjoy a gif of the literal two best Australian Survivor players [except perhaps Miss Shonee Fairfax] to reflect the mood of this swap and all right now.
TL;DR - this swap really went pretty damn amazing. Good week.
