I've been really busy so I haven't been around, but I read up a bit so I figured you deserved an update.
EPISODE 4We'll start with
Rai. I definitely thought they would be a lot better then they are, and I'm kind of happy that they got decimated. I guess I'm not HAPPY about it, but it's just better for the game than the other tribes losing people early. The first three boots we're either inactive, or bad PM'ers, so I didn't get much from them. None of the votes were really surprising. I'm gonna start with
Artis. how SCREWED is this guy, lol. I am still big on the Artis train, even though he isn't as great socially as some others. He's definitely much better than a lot of Rai as far as being social goes. He also is pretty straight with everyone as far as strategy goes, and I like reading his PM's. But anyways, he is almost definitely going home tomorrow night. Rai will more likely than not lose the challenge, and the only reason he didn't go home last vote was because he had immunity due to the swap. His only hope really is to find the HII and play it, which he has three clues but I don't know if he'll be able to. He's trying though, I just don't know.
Ramona Has been doing really well for herself, she's definitely hitting the swap, with some good allies. She went out of her way to save Stacey, which is good because I don't think Stacey will forget that. She is a little slow with the ambassador thing, so I'm excited for a new ambassador at the swap. The only way she doesn't make it is if Artis grabs the HII.
Rich has fizzled a bit for me. He doesn't PM well yet and has taken a backseat role to Ramona ever since that alliance started. He'll pick it up at the swap though, I'm sure. As for
Hayden, I get the love. He isn't doing to much, he's in the majority and will make the swap easy. He's done a good job blending in with the noobs but still riding his returnee status a bit. i really like his confessionals though.
On to
Kirati. These guys are great, I originally pegged them as being the least interesting tribe, but they definitely delivered a lot more, especially for not having to go to Tribal at all.
Lisa Is pretty much running this tribe, she has a good connection with everyone, and I think a lot people are even looking at her for guidance due to the whole ambassador thing. She is the only one to REALLY put out something for
Chris, which I commend her for. Chris, isn't really doing too well, if Kirati loses tomorrow, he will most likely go home. However, I think this might be a common thing for him? In Crashcourse he was a little slow on making alliances, but hit the swap and changed that around really quickly, and I expect to see that over the next few days. The only other person to really try with Chris is
Carter. He also is the second most connected on his tribe, with an alliance with the girls, and a close f2 type thing with Lisa. He's really putting in some work, and I have to admit that I wasn't expecting that and am pleasantly surprised, I think he'll be able to keep this up for a little while but sooner than later it will probably come back to get him.
Angie has fizzled a bit for me. I know she was sick, and kinda disappeared for a round, but she really needs to step it up. She was a target for the "boys" due to her inactivity, and even though obviously nothing came from it, she really needs to step her game up going forward. She's safe till swap though, so I guess she's doing well. I think me expecting more might have to do with the high expectations from pregame. She's still great, don't get me wrong but idk. She's kind of being overshadowed by the other noobs on her tribe.
Denise, for example, is doing great for herself. I wrote her off as an earlier boot but she has put herself in the majority, and even though she is not being great on keeping the people on the outside under wraps (AKA CHRIS) she is in a good spot going forward I think. And then there's
Stacey. I finally get the love. Her confessionals crack me the fuck up sometimes, and asking How BB feels about rich taking his wig? Idk, I'm not gonna add Binch to my vocabulary just yet but if she sticks around, which I think she will because people will see her as less threatening at the swap, I may jump on that train too.
Madhesi has delivered since day 1, and is by FAR the best tribe in this game. You can't talk about this tribe without first mentioning
Papa Bear. He came in playing way too hard, and everyone bought it.. for a few days. Then Lisa saw right through it and told the ENTIRE GAME that he was aligning with everyone, and now he's at the top of everyone on his tribes hit list. Best part is, he THINKS he is in control of the whole game
. I can't wait to watch him crash and burn at the swap, because I am positive his whole team will sell him down the river. After Papa Bear, you HAVE to acknowledge
Jeff for making this tribe the way it is. I wrote him off right away at having no chance because this tribe was chock full of vets, but he is really killing it. He's by far the most connected, and has a good thing going on with Kimmy and Mad Dog. He also is the first person to reach out to the new Tina. I think Jeff has a real winner potential here, and I hope he keeps up what he's doing because right now he is by far my favorite in the game. Plus, I think the farther he gets, the more well see of
Kimmiy, who I'm a huge fan of as well. Really good in character, and it's not even like she's doing much besides typing "anywhoozle" and "like" all the time. Also, is really connected, and with Jeff is completely running her tribe. I think that she is long for this game, and will even outlast Jeff because he seems o be getting a bit paranoid, and that might make him a bigger target? I don't know, I'm on the Kimmi train all the way though. Those two have a close third in
Mad Dog. Mad Dog is playing well enough, sussed out Papa Bear form the fucking beginning, and I expect big things from her as we go forward. I think she would be putting in a much bigger splash on any other tribe, but right now she's in the middle of her crew just sitting waiting for a swap which is fine because when it comes I'm sure she'll bring it. She is definitely long for this game.
NuTina is amazing, she came in late and is already in the majority alliance, and everyone is saying how much they like her. She knows how to write essays, which will make a lot of the noobier players feel like she is really in with them once a swap comes. I think she has a HUGE chance of winning this whole thing. Lastly, there is
Keith. I'm really upset because I TOLD HIM he needed to write bigger PM's, that he needed to like engage people or he would just fall into the background and become irrelevant and honestly that's what happened. He's definitely at the bottom of the tribe, and if it weren't for Papa Bear he would be the first one gone. He needs to step his game up, and fast, or he is gone early in the swap. Lol I'm gonna keep the fact that I wrote Lastly for Keith and Forgot about
Debb completely. She's been kinda funny but really is irrelevant, hopefully she picks it up come swap.
