First of all....what does my episode title mean?!!? I still have no idea . But anyway.....the game has begun and WOW. After seeing the cast list, I was just in absolute utter shock! I COULD NOT believe Sandy cast 5 Peru people. Not only did he cast these 5 Peru people, but they are *ALL* pretty good friends of mine. Like WTF! That is tortuous Sandy. By my nature, I HATE pregame alliances from previous games and facebook and shit like that *cough*Arabia facebook alliance and Canada alliance*cough* but now I'm stuck with all these people that I mean, how am I even supposed to backstab them?? Lol. I love Britt, Kirin just makes me laugh all the time haha...she is amazing. And then Alyssa and Zack I actually really like. I guess I'll give more thoughts on these peeps later when I do the whole favorites evaluation. But anyway....I saw all these people in the game, and pretty much just died. I actually hated it to be perfectly honest because I don't WANT to align with the same people but at the same time I don't want to backstab them because they are my friends! I think we all ended Peru on a really good note and I don't want to ruin that with this game, but we are pretty much going to be forced to do that. Either we all stick together and be the really boring Peru clique that gives no one else a shot, or we have to tear each other apart and then might not be friends after. It's kinda a Lose/Lose, but I guess that's what I signed up for and it is certainly going to make this game intense. I think I need to develop a strategy actually....I can't just stick with the Peru people because I KNOW I'll have to vote them all out eventually (I'll get to that later ), so I think my strategy is going to be to very fairly try to turn all of the Peru people against each other! I don't want them to be a solid block so I have to convince them not to trust each other, and if that happens, they will target each other without me having to do anything and I can sit on the sidelines and remain friends with them while they exit the game . Yay, that would be fun!
Bah. But anyway....as soon as the cast was released the game began. I wasn't spammed with AS MANY IMs as I thought I would be. I was actually probably spammed more by people who didn't make the cast (Tim/Tyler/..Cole?/people I have never even talked to) than actual cast members, but I will try to outline what went down on Night 1. I don't know if I want to post conversations because last time that just got messy and I don't want to make people read through a bazillion conversations to get to my meaty, juicy confessionals. Maybe I'll make a seperate conversations thread! That's not a bad idea. I could still copy really important stuff here. But anyway *ahem*...onto Night 1....
I started off talking to MY FINAL TWO IN THIS GAME! Yes, that's right, it's already decided. During Arabia, I got to talking to someone a lot. This person and I have grown very close, we're like exactly the same, and I just trust him completely and would never vote him out. Our friendship definitely goes beyond the game because we became friends way before the game even started =P. That person is...............
ALEXANDER!!!! I love Alex and I could never vote him out hehe. Him and I have agreed to go to the end together and I of course am all about that. I think it will be perfect actually....Alex and I are both sexy and awesome and we plan to completely SLUT up the competition and flirt with as many people as possible because who doesn't like being a giant whore? We're gonna flirt with as many guys and girls as possible and hopefully make everyone fall in love with us so that no one ever wants to vote us out. The best part is...No one really knows that Alex and I are this close. They may suspect we like each other from some stuff in Arabia, but no one has a clue that we trust each other enough to know that we are going to end together already. This is perfect, and Alex and I plan to keep it as secretive as possible. He is going to align himself with certain people, and I am going to do the same. I already have the who Peru cast connection and I know he's friends with Lorii, Robbie, Allan, etc. So it's like perfect. We can watch out for each other, steer others away from targeting us, and really reap all the benefits that a super tight secret (I hope) alliance has to offer!
Alex and I are already putting our plan into motion. He has been flirting it up big time with Alyssa and trying to make himself seem as stupid and in love with her as possible. It's absolutely hilarious because I've been pushing it the whole time. "Alyssa, that Alex kid is totally in love with you. He loves hot southern blondes, he could totally be your pawn and the extra person we need for our alliance!" And then separately, Alex is acting dumb, telling Zack things like "UM DOES ALYSSA HAVE A BOYFRIEND?" and just making it seem totally like he's in love. He has even skype chatted with Alyssa in which they brought me into the conversation where I "met Alex for the first time." rofl. It was hilarious. I just keep telling Alyssa she can use him and apparently her and Zack are eating it up! Zack and Alyssa mentioned a Peru alliance plus Jeffrey (who aparently Zack is really close with REDFLAG ) and Alex as the other favorites that would stick with us. That's just what I wanted....if Alex ever ends up with Peru on a tribe, they will hopefully have his back and be able to stay in the game . And then obviously I have my connection.
Okay, wow, this is effing long already and I have just started LOL. Sorry Sandy and Corey, it's been a while and I believe it or not I can write even longer novellas these days . Anyway, between speaking with Alex I also talked to Brittany, my HATER! I actually do love Brittany, she (and kinda Kirin) were like the only Peru people that made a point to keep in touch after the game and that rings very importantly. It's weird to be here a year later because now I sorta know how people act towards you outside the game....how much those feelings were real ya know? And I know what Britt and I have is real, we are friends plain and simple . Anyway, we're going to keep pretending we hate each other. In Peru it was just a joke but people seem to ACTUALLY BELIEVE we cannot stand each other!!! It's so funny, and um fuck, why not let them keep believing it? Everyone that asks...I will say "fuck that bitch I hate Brittany" and hopefully others will do the same and never see our close alliance coming. Muahahaha.
Anyway, enough with the old people. As the night progressed I did meet some new people as well. I only seeked out one person and that was LORII the drunken Newf Goddess who I have been dying to meet for a while. I knew coming into this game that if Lorii was in it, I was going to force her to be in an alliance with me so right away I got her AIM, struck up a conversation, and tried to let her know this =P. I think it worked nicely, Lorii and I actually talked for like 4 hours. I probably talked to her more than anyone else BY FAR and the conversation just flowed really nicely. She is hilarious and all of the drunken newf I thought she was and I LOVE it. I would really like to go far with Lorii and that is why I had to get on her good side early. We didn't really talk game except how I briefly mentioned I was going to force her to be in an alliance with me (and it's true, lol). We mostly just talked about nothing and got progressively more tired until the conversation devolved into madness and a complete stupor. It was funny though . I love my NEWFriend Lorii!!
Then, concluding the favorites I got to really meet, there was um.....what his name?....I can't remember. Um OH. Joey! Yes Joey....he's the one that when everyone saw the cast was like "WHAT? Who the eff is this fucker" I know I was. I so expected Tom or Torah over someone like that, buuuuut he did only place once so I guess I wasn't too surprised. I didn't expect much from Joey, he just didn't look or seem all that interesting or like he would be a contender, but god dammit the dude started talking to me and I will admit I underestimated him. He's DEFINITELY a contender but him being such a "Who?!?" could surely hurt him. Don't get me wrong, I did like him and the conversation certainly flowed, but I like everyone in the favorites . Literally....everyone. So anyway, Joey and I talked for a while and he actually like wouldn't shutup. He was SO talkative and that was just surprising. I give him props.
That was it for the favorites....first impressions and all. I still have yet to meet Jeffrey and Allan, and then there's Robbie who I already know.
As for the fans, they were lackluster. The only one I really really got along with was Cole (who isn't even in the game but a possible replacement), who turned out to be an alias of someone I know. LAME! I hate aliases in a game like this that basically revolves around playing as yourself to give it the special iSurv1vor feel!
Then there's Taylor and RB. Now Taylor actually seemed okay and cool, she said I was hot both to myself and to Zack which is good....maybe I can flirt with her? But um idk she is just WEIRD haha. I don't dislike her, but we certainly aren't BFFs yet. I will have to get to know Taylor more. Then there's RB who I really didn't speak with last night (he wasn't in the speaking mood anyway) BUT who I have a big connection with from the past. We are ooolllld allies, and I love RB! He is such a cool guy. I am used to calling him Matt, but I will try to avoid it =P. I don't know how I will handle RB in a game like this with so many close friends, but I did encourage him to apply in the first place, and I'm sure we'll watch out for each other.
All in all, this is an AMAZING cast. Every single favorite is a fucking contender, and there are definitely some good fans too. I think the fans are COMPLETELY outmatched which definitely works for me. I want to knock out the inactive and lame people I don't know before I have to start offing friends -_-. If they beat us though, they deserve it and I will just have to stop underestimating them. Thoughts on all the Faves coming up later...
