Not sure if this is really relevant, but I've been re-watching the Wire lately.
Cochran is treating me as a pawn. It's very transparent and annoying. I'm at a Crossroads (by Bone Thugs N' Harmony) on whether or not I should play along for now or attempt to make a bigger move. It's hard to see the bigger picture when your main ally is a condescending asshole.
Hopefully I'll follow up with a tribe overview + voting thoughts tonight.

When I saw your thread topic I thought of D and chicken nuggets. And I thought to myself that I wanna rewatch The Wire again soon. AND SURE ENOUGH

Congratulations! You're the first person to make me actually want to watch the Wire instead of just feeling like I probably should give it a go someday. I'm gonna start it later now I think!

I'm tied down to Cochran and it's certainly not working out. The past day has provided instance after instance of Cochran not only overplaying his hand, but actively promoting the idea that I am his pawn and/or vote. It's clearly not the case, but the perception suggests that it is. I need to somehow figure out a way to distance myself from him before he gets tossed out.
Cochran IMed me today to inform me that he created some sort of clusterfucked alliance -- it's Cochran/Me/Kourtney/Shawn/Colby/Rob + Cochran/Me/Kourtney/Shawn/Alexis/Elyse. If that's not some clusterfucked group than I don't know what is. He's like Phillip Shepherd lite. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't voted out tonight, but I'm hoping that the others indulge him for a little bit while I work to effectively distance myself from that trainwreck. I could easily see myself being booted after him as an easy vote.
On a better note, I've done work in establishing some relationships on this tribe. Aside from Cochran, Kourtney, and Alexis, I feel like I'm on very good terms with Elyse, Shawna, and Colby. Elyse is actually someone I know from Yuku! Which is pretty awesome. Both Shawna and Colby are very, very easy to talk to. My problem is finding time to talk with these people. It seems that a good majority of the strategical decisions that take place on this tribe happen past midnight. I literally had an offline IM from Cochran that I received five minutes before I woke up to go to work this morning. Pretty frustrating.
So, yep, I gotta find a way to subtly distance myself from Cochran and hop onto another alliance. I don't want to actively throw Cochran under the bus, but most seem to understand that he's a huge mess. It's a drastically different situation than on Poseidon, but I still feel pretty confident I can work my way through it.
