I was not the first boot of Sausage Island: All-Stars.
And thank goodness I wasn't! Really though, if I had left last round I would have been devastated. I wasn't even going to risk it, so I had to pretend to Jonas that I was on the fence. It wasn't like he was going to be on the jury anyway. So yeah, sorry Jonas if you ever read this! I really like you, but I couldn't risk it being me.
Moving forward, I feel like I'm in a great spot. I'm on a strong tribe, which is stronger now because Jonas left Feroca, rendering them much weaker. They will probably need all 6 members here tonight, and it doesn't look like that is going to happen for them because of, at the very least, Phillip. However, in terms of the challenge, I am worried about Chase. Neleh already wants to sit out, and if Chase can't make it either, there may be nothing we can do. I'm not ready to face tribal council, and I certainly don't want to lose Neleh just yet. So, I'm hoping that Chase will be able to be here. He's an active player so I think he will be.
Lately in my tribe, Sydney has expressed concern about Shawna and Chase. However, Shawna has been telling me she thinks the core of our tribe is herself, Sydney and me. I told this to Sydney, and now Sydney is more comfortable working with Shawna. Overall, this is great because Shawna and Sydney both trust me the most on this tribe, as does Neleh. I feel like I'm truly at the core of my tribe, and I will be pulling the necessary strings to make sure Dr. Sean leaves if we go to tribal council. This is All-Stars and every move is going to count. I don't think I can get rid of Neleh quite yet, and she'll be back from vacation soon. Oh so soon.
relationships
Beyond the connections I've started with, and the connections I'm making on my tribe, I have been trying to foster new relationships. I just want people in random pockets. Just in case. You never know when they may come in handy. Plus a good social game is always good for the winning resume. Anyway, here they are.
Coming into this game, Eliza was not someone I was expecting I'd work with. But she's on a tribe that I predominantly hate, especially now that Jonas is gone, and I want her to survive. Especially over Wanda and Alexis. I gave Eliza some information on the friendships within her tribe, and she seemed very appreciative. Hopefully she can survive over there, because I think we'd be allies if we ended up together. She trusts me.
Coming into this game, Carter was someone I wanted to work with! I loved him in season 5 and I was really excited to see him here. I've had a few good conversations with him, and he said that he would love to work with me at some point in this game. Definitely going to make an alliance with him if I can. He's a super nice kid.
You all saw the boobs coming. Love this girl! We've had some really great conversations and I would also love to form an alliance with her down the road. I think if we end up on the same tribe, could really trust her in this game. I hope.
This is kind of a cool trio, because the three of us played all together for the first time in Manchuria! (I actually think we were in Namibia together, but we were allies in Manchuria.) Over the years, we've all kept in touch and we're excited to be back in this game together. I think there's a lot of potential for a trio here, and that's good because that's another person in this cast who is loyal to the pentagon. Alex also told me he couldn't lie to me, and I said the same thing... but I was lying! Sorry Alex, but you're not really in my end game plans. Can't wait to work with you for a bit though!
We know each other from a few years back, and I think we're reconnecting well. I do feel like I'd be able to work with him if we were in a tribe together, should I need him down the road. He's not a huge player, but he's a number. And that's what I'm looking for.

Best of luck in the game and hopefully you find a way to control that stress! You got this!
