EPISODE 1 - BACIHi I'm Sydney. So I came into this game with the lowest of expectations for my chances. It is a miracle for anyone to even make the Jury stage and making the Final Tribal Council? That would be like winning the lottery. Regardless, I played on a whim and we'll see where it takes me. I'm here to try and enjoy the ride, regardless of where it takes me.
The first challenge was one I wasn't even sure I wanted to win. But knowing being a Captain was at stake, as well as the chance for power or prizes, I thought what do I have to lose? When I made it to the final six, I knew for sure I should try and get in the top 5 as I was lucky enough to have survived until that point - so Wanda granted me the opportunity and HERE I AM CAPTAIN.
I was suspicious of the twist and picks and had a feeling it would be tricky. I was pleasantly surprised by the way it was done. It was also INCREDIBLY revealing as to who wanted or did not want someone. The only thing I really regret was saying I did not particularly want Chase. I Don't know if that chat will be shown, but I only said that because I wanted Judd or even Vecepia on my tribe. I didn't want Chase because I don't know if he is pre-gamed with Shawna? I want to work with Shawna on my own. It was the same reason I as happy to not have Sandra on my tribe. (although I really have a blast talking with her) I wanted to start fresh and work with some new people. Shawna fits that bill and I like her a lot.
Anyways, Danielle-Myself-Shawna wanted to get on a tribe together. Then I asked for Kourtney and Sean because I felt I could work with them. Chase, I feel was a potential ally coming into this game - and Neleh was the token inactive. (Though I fear she may be liked by Danielle) The problem with this tribe is almost everyone on it was a "potential" ally I could see a future with from the initial cast. It makes it very bad, because some people will feel on the bottom or question their position with perhaps myself, when I never wanted any of these guys out. It was another reason I didn't want Chase and I am concerned he may think some of that.
Right away myself, Danielle, Shawna, and Kourtney got into a chat and it was sort of like an unspoken alliance. I also told Sean I would have his back on the sides. I really don't see that group official though because I expect Danielle-Neleh and Chase-Shawna to also be a 'thing'. I really can't complain about the tribe I am on because if I get voted off by the people I wanted to work with, then I really stood no chance anyway lmao.
I would love to be on the winning tribe obviously, but what I do like is that apparently Rory, Sekou, and Elyse are in the minority of their respective tribes. Nothing personal against any of them, but I don't see myself working alongside any.

Holy balls
A 35 PEOPLE TRIBAL COUNCIL LMAO
Yuck Elyse is immune. I would have loved to vote her out. Although she could be on the bottom of her tribe anyways and I want Judd to have some room to breathe. So I don't think I would have preferred her.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IMMUNITY LEXRETT - I'm officially in the final 34 and I can sleep at ease. LOL That was my one worry coming in.
Also, bravo - this twist will cause mayhem
I MADE FINAL 34~!!!!!!! Way to excited about this

This was madness.
We were at risk of losing Neleh. Sekou's name got thrown around. Rory was an option. And after all that....Jonas is getting voted off.
Jonas originally targeted Neleh and Danielle and I did not want to lose a member. Suddenly we were pulled into a blast group with Wanda's tribe. 2 seconds later, I get an invite to an all captain's blast chat. WITHOUT Wanda.
Clearly the Sydney tribe is in an awkward pickle where we lie to someone. But because Brandon/Kim/Jason have all come together we are forced to go along. We have to continue like we're being open to the possibility of voting Sekou so that it is not turned against us and our tribe is the one with 6 people.
To ensure that doesn't happen, I told Brandon and Kim each that Wanda's tribe thinks we want Sekou out. So if they hear that, I told them in advance it was what we originally wanted.
So the captains chat.....Brandon wants to target Wanda's tribe obviously. He says Alexis-Wanda-Vecepia-Jonas are a foursome. "They need to be split up." He then proceeded to target Vecepia. (Who btw I had a loooong and good conversation with last night) What in the actual fuc*? All of a sudden I am defending Vecepia...the one person I was hating on in season 5. lmao. Kim also disagreed awell, and liked Vecepia - SO then pushed Jonas. Brandon supported that and Jason said his tribe would as well. Jonas is a "threat" and "has many friends." Here I am thinking we are all just as threatening. These people are cut throat.
It sucks because Jonas is someone I think is workable for the future, but I'm in no position to do anything. Nor should I. Who decided the captains would decide everything? I had to remind them that we are only one vote and that our tribes can think for themselves, so they had to be sure. They all said that they could get people to agree and they were agreeing so I said the people on mine would as well.
Meanwhile they are bonding hardcore with Wanda's tribe. Poor Jonas. If he is even going cuz idek these people are crazy. I know it's not me though woot.

outspokenenlife (11:01:54 PM): SEE, YOU ACTUALLY MADE F34 AND YOU WERE SO SCARED. I am actually a bit worried about a surprise since the Wanda tribe is so damn calm. Did they even talk to another tribe?

BOOT LIST 1. Jonas :\
If my tribe was voting personally we'd be keeping him, but all the strategic signs point to going with the flow. Upsetting the many people who want this, all for one person, is too risky. Not to mention that I don't think the votes will be there. Definitely a huge player on the verge of leaving.

Just put in my vote for Jonas. I anticipate a majority for him.....the next highest majority being Phillip and probably a bunch of randoms and hinky votes. But who knows, it's been super quiet since this was all decided. I'd probably be really nervous right now if not for immunity lmao. But I spoke to Brandon today, who I think is a HUGE factor in this move, and I think Jonas will be walking out the door.
Last night I spoke with Shawna and she voiced the same beliefs that the season 2 tribe looks like the strongest group. We definitely feel they are the reason behind this vote and they have the most connections that spread out in all the tribes.
I am, as always, suspicious of my position. I know that Chase-Shawna are a thing and we made that little girls thing without Chase originally. I've been speaking to Sean and I find it odd that he isn't trying to get a majority. I do wonder if he's been informed of anything. Danielle, I feel, thinks Sean is on the bottom. But I'm hoping Neleh is. gvgvgrgrghrhb I just want to win immunity until a swap. Having so much people you hoped to work with on one tribe leaves me no room to breathe and I don't want these potential allies turning into fast enemies.
I don't see Danielle or Kourtney voting me out. Shawna is the person I hoped to get closest too as we had super long conversations, and then I've been trying to talk with Sean. Chase and I have talked but not about alliances so that is also a little concerning. IDK maybe people feel it's too soon. Butprobablynot
I spoke to Danielle who thinks that Chase-Sean-Shawna might be a possible thing too. I am hoping not and that Shawna will be with us so long as Chase is kept alone. And damn I wanted to work with each of those people individually. Worst case scenario is Danielle thinks she has Neleh, I think I have Kourtney. Hope it don't have to come to that though! I'll see how my conversation with Chase and Shawna go. I am going to feel Shawna out for who she likes to work with. Danielle feels that it's probably not a huge concern. So we will see.

30-2-1-1-1? I think that is it? OUCH. Everyone is right. That was really racist. I think of all 35 votes, only one vote was for a white person.
Au revoir
TO THE FINAL 34 ROUND.
Also spoke with Shawna and feel much better! Myself, her, and Danielle are together and Chase/Kourtney are also valuable allies. The whole tribe can be.

EPISODE 2 - BACIJust came back from the challenge.... Baci won immunity <3 second place! Coming into the challenge, we figured that either 2 or 3 tribes would be going to Tribal Council. Our efforts would make us safe regardless of which way. Final 32 baby!!!!
So we will be getting one clue to the idol. I don't see anyone taking a guess at it with just the one opportunity. That is a bit scary. You only get one chance to potentially have one, and those things could come in handy. I spent the duration of my time in sausage 3 in possession or potential possession of like 2 or 3 idols, and never once needed to use it. Here, I feel there could definitely come a time where having one could be essential. But you really can't play that way, and rely on idols.
I'm glad our 7 remains intact and we don't have to deal with the stress of Tribal Council. Especially since tomorrows Friday woot. Day off.
Apologies for a very MOR confessional. There really isn't much to say. The challenge went very well for us for only having 4 members helping. Chase sat out, Neleh didn't show, and Danielle came late just as we were finishing. Sean did a great job at getting us into board #1 and I helped a lot with getting us into board # 2. Perhaps Sean's efforts can spare him over Neleh should we face a loss. But people really like Neleh so IDEK ya'll.
Okay that's all for now. I hope Rory/Sekou or Cochran/Rob C get the boot! Really anyone from Tribe E seems kind of big. Cept Carter...leave Baby Lex alone. Nobody put's Baby Lex in a corner.

Already an impromptu Tribal Council? Insanity. This season is going to make history people.
I am quite pleased I will never have to talk to this guy in this game at all, or be at his mercy at any point.
Peace! Seemed more of an annoyance than entertainment. Also he can not pull off Natalie White in his avatar.

This is some bs! Two tribes go to Tribal Council, and nobody votes anyone out? Word through the grapevine is Kelly dropped out of the game. That bites because her leaving does nothing to help me whatsoever. I'd of preferred legit any1 else leaving on that tribe over her.
Damn you and your reality show! Jk. But have fun. The thing that bugs me the most is both of these tribes lose and go to Tribal Council, and don't have to clash on the vote at all or worry in any sense. They don't have to sweat a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! But they might suck in challenges? So please be Matsing.

Ugh next immunity is tribe averages? We have more odds for failure then. Shawna and Sean are not good at puzzles and who can count on Neleh to submit? Also Kourtney isn't the best at them either. I'm smelling a Tribal Council. BOO.
I am also talking to Neleh right now and I am liking her! I don't want to go to TC. DAMN YOUR PUZZLES.
The tribe's with 6 people have better odds for a better average, so I hope it's just a massive 5 person Tribal Council. Fast forward to Final 27 please! We are inching our way. Inch inch.

Awk, averages challenge confirmed. Probably another 2 losers. While my tribe sucks at puzzles, perhaps the other tribe's suck just as bad if not worse? KEEP HOPE ALIVE.
e = Mc^2
I think the other tribes have noticeable bad puzzle people. Sandra isn't good..Phillip prob wont even do it. Sekou prob will be bad. I am starting to get more faith in us. Season 2 tribe will prob easily win. Tribe E looks weak. ALSO WHY AM I EVEN TELLING YOU ALL THIS, THIS IS NOT INTERESTING FOR YOU TO READ. I'm just using this as a journal though. scuse me.
