Since Sandy has requested our video confessionals ASAP, here is mine! I will make up for whatever my video confessionals lack by writing more in the future. I'm usually on top of my writing game and I don't normally do video confessionals so I'm a bit out of my element here, But here goes... Summary: I'm in an alliance with Susan. I wanna roll with it, see where it goes. Susan says she thinks Lexi doesn't like her. Lexi seems like a strong player, and I want to work up a relationship with her. I like Alex, and I could see myself working with him. I like Scott as well, and I'd like to work something with him. I lowkey really wanna be in an alliance with Helena for some reason. Because she openly admitted to being an almost accidental murderer. Honestly that's a great conversation starter. Tomorrow is hopefully gonna be my day to get to know people better, but I wanted to give my thoughts before the vets are revealed, since that will probably cloud my current thoughts. I'll get better at this video thing, though. I promise. I hope.

Big update from me, hence why my video is like 12 minutes long. Fuck.
Too long didn't watch version: Allegedly there is a mom alliance, and Sherry is targeting Helena for no reason. Mac is starting a counter alliance against Sherri/Shandy. Sherri also has a bitter alliance that includes Ruben, Lexi, Susan, Shandy, Herself, Me, and a guy named Steven (see the 5 minute mark or so about this >_>). Counter alliance includes Mac, Scott, DJ, Helena, Alex, Me. I'm gonna try to make sure I work closely with Alex. I don't think I'm his number 1 or anything, but I'm gonna try to get there. Mostly cuz I think he seemed more on the fence about the alliance n shit, so if he's wavering, I wanna know. Vote verdict: I dunno. I'll want to vote Sherry. Mac wants to vote Shandy for personal reasons. Scott seems to want to vote Shandy to make a splash. Whatever. Alex wants to vote Sherry. I hope its Sherry.
Tbh I think there's probably a twist involved with this vote out, so I think Shandy is more of a powerful player so I'd rather not include her with this potential twist.
Further update: I'm now included in the other group Shandy/Sherry/Lexi/Ruben/Susan. Hopefully I can get some info about this group and why they're a group. Why they're targeting Helena, etc. My video confessional only reflects what I've learned from Mac and them, and nothing else. My views might completely change after I talk to these guys. Hopefully they could "spill the tea" as Mac would say. Really curious to see what they say about this other group. Ruben already said this: honestly I don't like the fact that five friends are all in this game on the same tribe together, but I'm glad we're all on the same page to split that up tbh
So...that's...interesting.
Edit: Fuckkk I don't know what to think now. Lexi/Ruben are saying that Alex/DJ/Mac/Helena/Scott are all friends n shit. Like, I don't even know what to think. Well, I will learn more I guess? Confessional update pending..once I figure out who is legit. smilesmile I'm in the middle I guess. >_>

I went to bed last night feeling conflicted over the new information I got from "Sherri's Alliance" and the screenshots that Lexi was showing. I lowkey snuck a quick conversation in with Susan to touch base. Susan was prepared to vote out Helena and I didn't have the heart to tell her I was wavering. I went to sleep sad that I would have to basically just drop Susan altogether and not tell her I was gonna vote Sherry.
So then I just decided to contemplate it and reconcile my feelings about being the swing vote this round. Earlier this morning, I talked to Alex quite a bit and we were talking about how we need to make sure the vote gets on Sherry rather than Shandy. So maybe Alex said something to someone and it just spiraled out of control LOL. During lunch today, I get online and Sherry messages me and starts to just word vomit all over about her strategy and how she has plans to just vote out Helena and then play both groups and turn on Lexi/Ruben. I'm sitting over here like shitting my pants with glee because Sherry is already revealing to someone "in her alliance" about how she's gonna eventually turn on her alliance. And I'm thinking, like...ok this is solidifying my vote for Sherry because I don't even need to be worried about it now. The conversation just made me realize I need to just tell people in that group that I want to vote out Sherry. So I was like, "Alright! After work, I'm gonna approach Susan and tell her that I don't trust Sherry. Get it off my chest. Then I'm gonna tell Lexi and Ruben that Sherry is already trying to turn on them and go with the 'Moms alliance' with me as a plus one." So I'm like, all prepared to make my move against Sherry and make sure people voted her out, and also like, let people know that I wasn't voting for Helena.
AND THEN I'M AT WORK, and my phone starts lighting up and its the damn tribe skype chat. Like some bitch is trying to call me at work. The place where I go to slave away to earn money to keep myself alive, and you're gonna try to call me about fuckin Sherry Macpherson? Of course, Mac is all "shit is going down". Shit is ALWAYS going down on this tribe. What else is new? Well...the fuckin Sherry thing blew up in her face, and I'm all pissed because I still have an hour and a half of work and I can't even listen in on them drilling Sherry while she slyly tries to change the subject to deviled fucking eggs. No one wants to hear about how you're making deviled eggs, because people literally want to scream at you. AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN THROW MY GRENADES AT SHERRY, EITHER. Huge boner killer.
So, now the vote will be 10-1, and Sherry will go. And while I'm happy Sherry is going, I'm actually upset that I won't be on the "winning side". LOL. The tribe was kinda split 5-5 with me in the middle (and maybe Alex). And so I was all conflicted. But now EVERYONE is gonna be on the winning side. And now my stock actually went down because now people think I am this peripheral player. People are messaging me like "OK I wanna keep you in the loop, here's the plan ... We're voting Sherry." It's like .. UM THAT HAS BEEN MY PLAN. You're not telling me the plan. I WAS MAKING THE PLAN. So, it's a bit disappointing, but whatever. I made my voice clear that I wanted to vote Sherry, so whatever. I should be glad. I'm getting what I want. But like, now people like Shandy and Lexi and Ruben are all up in everyone's good graces again or something, even though I still think Shandy is shady as fuck. And Lexi too and even Ruben. They were ALL about splitting up Mac/DJ/Scott/Helena/Alex. Which, I still don't even believe is a group of pre-existing friends. And if it is, I guess I don't really care. But anyway, I guess I'm still hoping that people think Shandy is shady, because I still think she is.
I'm also ... actually kinda sad that everyone was against Sherry at the end. After I voted for her I actually felt bad. In the end, I'm a softie and I don't want anyone to have a bad experience. This dramatic tribe kinda made it traumatic for her, and I probably feel like I contributed a little bit to it, or at least got some entertainment out of it. Maybe there's a twist and she's not actually out. Or maybe I'm voted out and everyone can feel bad for me.

Reaction to the vote:
Rookies: I saw the DJ vote and my heart skipped a beat because I wasn't expecting it. The ensuing witchhunt may be interesting to watch. Happy the vote was overwhelming. Little sad for Sherry.
Vets: I saw Britts name come up and I was disappointed then happy because I thought maybe it would ultimately help me get to merge. Then Sharonica came up and was out and I felt completely neutral. But now I had something to talk to Brittany about?
Conclusion: Part of me says we're not done with these women but time will tell smilesmile.

OK time for a much needed update to wrap up Episode 1 so I can move onto Episode 2. Sorry my life has been a bit crazy! As requested by Sandy last night, here is my immediate reaction to winning the challenge (and finding out Brittany was voted out right away >_____>)
Small correction: and by scoring four points, I mean clear four spaces (which were all misses). So I scored zero and got four out of like 80 spaces. And yes, I think that's actually good, even though I was probably one of the worst performing people in the whole challenge. LOL. Idc I did good, okay?
