Episode 5

[Shawna Mitchell]

I'm just going to skip over talking about the challenge cause.....so lame. (for you guys probably)

But what I'm more interested in are the possibilities of HII answers. Sydney gave me this before Ibe & Kim entered the volcano:

Alex's Confessional 4 33
- Alexis's Confessional 9 44
- Boston Rob's Confessional 13 84
- Candice's Confessional 4 38
- Carter's Confessional 13 49
- Chase's Confessional 8 32
- Coach's Confessional 15 33
- Colby's Confessional 13 65
- Danielle's Confessional 12 73
- Eliza's Confessional 8 46
- Ibe's Confessional 13 37
- Judd's Confessional 12 211
- Kim's Confessional 9 30
- Kourtney's Confessional 11 68
- Mary's Confessional 6 72
- Miki's Confessional 5 26
- Rob C's Confessional 5 19
- Sean's Confessional 8 37
- Shawna's Confessional 11 64
- Sydney's Confessional 6 85
- Ted's Confessional 8 77
- Vee's Confessional 7 64
- Wanda's Confessional 3 41

Ibe's threads didn't increase but Kim's did. DD said she didn't get it but I think she may have. She guessed "War is Brewing." I keep thinking "Illustrate My Power." and I kind of want to guess right now.

I don't believe DD at all. I think if Kim got it she would lie.

Should I go into the volcano?

[Shawna Mitchell]

Shawna Mitchell
so i feel like maybe i should just guess...what do you think?

DDanielle
i don't think it'd hurt reallye
enough people are guessing where it may be a mistake to wait
but i guess i am not sure i'm gonna go so we'll see

If Kim didn't get it, she would say to wait... I think Kim has it.

[Shawna Mitchell]

I should've gone earlier. I thought Kim had the HII and then found out she did.

After she came out and I saw her confessional count increased by one and her post count increased by 2 I thought she probably got it. And I know she told DD and Syd ... and whoever else. Probably Miki.

But DD lied to me and said she didn't think she got it. She wasn't convincing.

DDanielle
oh she said she didn't get it
she guessed War is Brewing

Shawna Mitchell
well
she has a new confessional thread...

DDanielle
o god
that's awkward
maybe she did get it then

Yes maybe she did!



then...


Kim Powers
ugh
haha
I made sure I posted a new confessional
as soon as I guessed
to throw people off haha

Shawna Mitchell
lol good call

And good timing that you told me right after I told DD I noticed this.



then...


Shawna Mitchell
well i feel like if pool our resources
but I think Kim may have it

DDanielle
yeah i can understand her not telling anyone though

Shawna Mitchell
and im sure if she did you would know lol

DDanielle
like at least not right away
we're unfortunatley not as close
as everyone says we are

DDanielle
i mean i do trust her for the time being but i understand she is playing her own game

Shawna Mitchell
i get it, and sorry i didn't mean you do know and you weren't honest. I feel like if she got it she would tell you but that's total conjecture so if you say she wouldn't i believe you.

Yes, I did mean that. I'm trying to gauge a reaction because you're not a great liar.

DDanielle
i mean i think she would but
the thread thing

Shawna Mitchell
seriously, I don't care

DDanielle
is just making me doubt
a lot
haha

Shawna Mitchell
i don't care who else you're close to in this game, I still trust our alliance we made

Or at least I want you to think I do.

well idk, i just made a new thread for this round so who knows

DDanielle
haha
true

Shawna Mitchell
but she didnt have that many

DDanielle
how many did she have?

Shawna Mitchell
9

DDanielle
i suppose that's enough for each round though
llike if she just created for this round

Shawna Mitchell
so i feel like maybe i should just guess...what do you think?

DDanielle
i don't think it'd hurt reallye
enough people are guessing where it may be a mistake to wait
but i guess i am not sure i'm gonna go so we'll see




then...


Kim Powers
alright so…I kind of freaked out a little earlier and didn't know what to do and everyone was bombarding me
I do have the idol
DD and Syd asked as well
and I told them the same

Shawna Mitchell
haha i figured

Kim Powers
that I don't have it
but I do want you to know

Shawna Mitchell
why me?

Kim Powers
well I told them too
but like
honestly
like we said the other night
I do like you a lot
and didn't feel right lying to you

Shawna Mitchell
it's fine, I totally understand and thanks for telling me
I like you a lot too

I like you just fine, I just don't believe much of what you say.

Kim Powers
as soon as I saw you wanted to enter
I realized I needed to tell you

Shawna Mitchell
well i figured it was so narrowed down
thanks!

Kim Powers
of course
again I'm sorry…I'm not a liar I promise

Yes you are but don't worry, so am I.

Shawna Mitchell
don't worry at all
I don't have any qualms about it
you found it, you don't want to shout it to the rooftops!
congrats!

Kim Powers
thank you :-)

Shawna Mitchell
omg why would i expect you to tell me? (but thank you for telling me!)

Kim Powers
I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to try working together haha

Shawna Mitchell
me either
I am totally serious

Kim Powers
it seems like we have the same friends so it might not be so hard

Yes, so it seems. What a coincidence!



then...


DDanielle
...
are you talking to kim?

Shawna Mitchell
mhm

DDanielle
she just told me she has it

Shawna Mitchell
she said she has it
lol ^^

DDanielle
she told me she was just like
supre paranoid at first

Shawna Mitchell
well im glad we know!

DDanielle
yes!

And I'm so glad you know I know so you had to tell me you know now, too.

DDanielle
good to know
where the idol is

Shawna Mitchell
mhm

DDanielle
are you worried that she didn't tell us right at first?

Shawna Mitchell
no
I mean, i kind of thought she might have it but you really can't blame someone for not telling can you? it depends on who she trust i guess

No because she did tell you at first.

DDanielle
but yeah i feel like if she told us
this night
we are high up on her trust list

Oh are we really?

So I told Chase I think Kim has it. AND I told him what she guessed. Maybe I shouldn't have because I think people will figure out who told him. What are the chances he just picks the same one?

Anyway, he goes in and finds out the HII is gone and Kim does, in fact, have it. Then he tells me he got some consolation prize where he can switch places with any person on another tribe sometime before an IC. So, of course, I want a prize, too! But Miki gets to Chase, finds out his guess (I wish he would've made up another episode title), runs in and I guess also gets a prize. Well, he thinks she did - probably.

Since they all know Chase knows, Kim tells him she has it.

Sean goes in but apparently guesses "Fingers Crossed."

Sydney goes in and gets a song.

So, I am a bit late in this. I go in and just find an empty hole. I first told Sydney I was going to guess something else and she encouraged that. I told her after that I decided to just guess what Kim guessed in case there was anything else.

Kim is obviously told I know she has the HII so she comes to me and admits she does.

Results of last night are that I trust DD and Sydney less than I did yesterday. They didn't want me to know Kim had the idol and they probably know I was the one who told Chase she did and what her guess was. I also notice I constantly lump DD/Sydney together when I talk about them/think about them. I guess I'll start lumping Kim in there, too.

[Shawna Mitchell]

Interestingly enough, Sean came to me today about his concerns with this "Big Alliance" on Gwad and how he feels like we're being used and will just be picked off. I'm glad he spoke up because I really thought he was all into the big family idea. Well, I guess he thought original Baci was going to stick together - but Chase told him it wasn't.

Anyway, it gives me another person I could possibly work with. Too bad I didn't know this last round because now that I am hearing Coach is basically quitting, it really does make me wish we had kept Elyse. Oh well, no looking back.

I have Colby on the side. He suggested an alliance with him, Kim and Boston Rob. I said I wasn't sure this was a good idea because I don't really want Kim thinking we're close, then telling her pre-game friends. (He had talked about the pre-game rumors previously and we both agree there is some truth - probably a lot of truth to them.)

And Chase of course. Always Chase...except he scares me a little this game, lol. Scares me and at the same time, pulls me in with all his anarchist ideas. <3
