Fitting that, so far, this is my only confessional with a title. That means I really mean it. 
As soon as I saw the challenge title: Venganza...I knew someone from pre-jury (you know, the people who already got voted off fair & square) was coming back. Just didn't know it'd be more than one.
As usual, luck fails me and I get on a tribe without any of my closest allies. What is up with random.org that it hates me so much?
But, I have to take this opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade. I'll grow as a person through adversity right? This will test my Survivor skills and yada yada yada.
So, my first thought, while everyone else is crying over how unfair it is that we are F14 and now someone who is undeserving may take one or two of our spots, is I need to protect myself. I have 3 Baci on this tribe. Sean is always preaching the Baci allliance to me, and Kourtney will vote with me. We just need two more to have a majority. Kourtney suggested Sean, Kourtney, me, Miki and Alex. I'm fine with whatever gets me through another round or two. Although Alex is someone I have never worked with and he's not a great asset in challenges. But, I'm agreeable and the four of us sans probably-drunk-Alex chat a bit.
Then Chase reminds me of his power and he is talking about using it. Okay, this could be good. Four Baci would be better than three. We can pull someone in who won't want to chance getting voted off, like Wanda. He is talking about switching with Alex. That would work for me. Except he wants to keep Elyse, if she gets on our tribe. And he wants to vote off Kourtney. Well, in many other circumstances I wouldn't mind if Kourtney got voted off, but not under these circumstances. Plus....I don't want to keep Elyse. Chase points out she has no one...which is true. But she also offers no security for me and, as I said previously, she would cut my throat without a thought.
I would be happy if Chase swapped over to this tribe but I need to keep numbers who would keep me.
So, now we wait to see who comes back. I think Elyse and Kim. I'd take Ellyse over Kim any day. Even though I helped blindside them both.
This sucks. YOU suck. (Yes, you know who YOU are!) But, I'm going to persevere.
