So I figured I would write up a confessional before I find out who is on my tribe.
Im looking forward to the game. So far people seem very....interesting to say the least. For week 1 I have a pretty simple gameplan which is just to play it cool. There is typically always one idiot who over plays week 1 and gets taken out that week or the next week after. Instead im just going to start building on relationships with others and not make any crazy moves. Although I will admit I struggle to build relationships up with stupid people. Im not sure why fully but I more start to talk down to them automatically. For example I can clearly tell that Ibrehem is a moron already or somebody who struggles with english. That is somebody who I just wont ever click with so they are useless to me.
Im also looking for my main partner in crime. While im a huge flirt I tend to pick bro's before ho's. Because Michael Scott says it best.
Also im hoping there is going to be a giant chat at some point. I love those giant chats because people tend to give away a ton of info of who they are with in those. I love it!
Soooooo *fingers crossed* hopefully I get into a solid tribe.

Ok so I have spoken to the majority of people in my tribe except for Taj and clearly Ibrehem cause he is too stupid to make a aim sn.
Dave is boring as hell. Our convo pretty much went like this. I asked a question and he answered it and I asked another question and he answered it. Once I ran out of questions the convo died.
Sophie seemed like she had a stick up her ass last night so I did the natural smart thing to do in that situation.....I made fun of her being old. I know she is good at challenges though and we said we would work together or atleast not try to kill each other right off the bat.
Eliza was pretty ok. I can see me semi working with her. But it might just be a patty-cake alliance.
Bubba is amazing and is my number 1 as of right now. We both agree on everything and have a good time so far of just trashing the rest of the cast. We also think it might be funny to keep Ibrehem around just for laughs. I would like to think im the Forrest to his Bubba.
I dont see me really getting voted out of this tribe so if tribes stay this way im feeling pretty good about it. Just wish people were a little more interesting. Like if I tell you I wrestle bears for a living atleast try to one up me and say you wrestle tigers...idk.
Im pumped for the first challenge and would like to come out swinging.

Me and Taj create an alliance and will drag Bubba into it.
Taj (7:42:34 AM): I would love to create a solid 4 on our tribe, and I would love to work with you. *very forward gameplay*
Erik Huffman (7:42:59 AM): ya i want to create a solid 4 also
Erik Huffman (7:43:09 AM): i just didnt want to be the guy that started it
Taj (7:43:16 AM): haha
Taj (7:43:16 AM): well
Taj (7:43:22 AM): i didn't start it if you didn't!
Taj (7:43:24 AM): :-)
Erik Huffman (7:43:53 AM): haha we will just say ibrehem started it and we decide to exclude him
Taj (7:44:04 AM): hahaha yes.
Taj (7:44:46 AM): is there anyone you'd like to include? I have talked to you and Bubba the most, but I'm pretty indifferent. Sophie and Dave both seem cool... Haven't really talked to Eliza, but she's better than Ibe
Erik Huffman (7:45:04 AM): i have talked to everybody so far and i love bubba
Erik Huffman (7:45:09 AM): so he is a for sure
Taj (7:45:14 AM): all right, awesome.
Erik Huffman (7:45:25 AM): umm im a toss up between sophie and eliza
Taj (7:45:32 AM): not a dave fan?
Erik Huffman (7:45:40 AM): when i talked to him he didnt really talk back
Erik Huffman (7:45:53 AM): it was pretty much me asking questions to start a convo and he just answered the questions
Taj (7:45:59 AM): oh that's awful!
Taj (7:46:03 AM): okay, well he's out
Erik Huffman (7:46:21 AM): sophie seems like she is going to be a badass at challenges
Taj (7:46:28 AM): yeah, i agree.
Taj (7:46:54 AM): I just don't think I've talked to her to the level of... hey, "do you want to join a nice alliance of 3 as our fourth" in a better-put way lol
Erik Huffman (7:47:18 AM): ya well we can always just pick eliza and save sophie for the last vote off if it comes down to that
Erik Huffman (7:47:37 AM): or just make a non sexual 3 way between me you and bubba
Taj (7:47:49 AM): :-(
Taj (7:47:55 AM): (@ nonsexual)
Taj (7:47:58 AM): but uhm
Erik Huffman (7:48:02 AM): haha
Taj (7:48:13 AM): I honestly don't know how much it matters
Taj (7:48:23 AM): there are benefits to keeping it at 3 or 4, and I don't think we'd be at a numbers loss.
Taj (7:48:47 AM): we could probably get hte votes for Ibe and then Dave without needing a 4 block either time.
Taj (7:48:56 AM): I think Sophie and Eliza would just vote wiht the majority
Erik Huffman (7:49:02 AM): probably
Erik Huffman (7:49:09 AM): eliza told me she isnt a huge social player
Taj (7:49:23 AM): Do you know Miss Imaginary?
Erik Huffman (7:49:31 AM): no idea who that is
Erik Huffman (7:49:36 AM): is that like an sn
Taj (7:49:41 AM): yeah
Erik Huffman (7:49:44 AM): ya no idea
Taj (7:49:45 AM): or MIchael Jacques?
Taj (7:49:48 AM): (his name)
Erik Huffman (7:49:55 AM): lol no never heard of him
Taj (7:49:59 AM): oh okay
Taj (7:50:05 AM): well he's a psycho-crazy-bitch
Taj (7:50:15 AM): and i have a sligh suspicion he's eliza
Taj (7:50:17 AM): but i can't confirm that.
Taj (7:50:19 AM): so
Erik Huffman (7:50:28 AM): hahaha
Taj (7:50:39 AM): it's really the way he uses an inordinate amount of :-P
Taj (7:50:44 AM): that brings me back
Taj (7:50:45 AM): lol
Erik Huffman (7:50:52 AM): he didnt use any smileys in our convo
Taj (7:50:57 AM): o.o
Erik Huffman (7:51:02 AM): so maybe he just likes to smile at you?
Taj (7:51:12 AM): hahahahah
Taj (7:51:13 AM): maybe!
Erik Huffman (7:51:19 AM): :-P
Taj (7:51:42 AM): i mean, i'm not super owrried about it. I just think it's weird for people to straight up say they're not a good social player.
Erik Huffman (7:51:54 AM): its cause i called dave boring
Erik Huffman (7:52:09 AM): so she said she isnt a good social player but she atleast tries to be interesting
Taj (7:52:16 AM): ohh
Erik Huffman (7:52:18 AM): so it wasnt like a random ass thing
Taj (7:52:20 AM): well that's better haha
Erik Huffman (7:53:43 AM): so we are just going to keep it as us 3 then?
Taj (7:55:54 AM): I would be okay with either. Perhaps we could see if Bubba has any insight?
Erik Huffman (7:56:31 AM): ya that works for me
Erik Huffman (7:56:43 AM): we would just need a cool alliance nickname
Taj (7:56:57 AM): 1 hottie 2 notties!
Erik Huffman (7:57:15 AM): haha i like it
Taj (7:57:18 AM): Because obviously... we all know which Bubba is!
Taj (7:57:20 AM): ;-)
Erik Huffman (7:57:30 AM): ya he is the clear cut hottie
Erik Huffman (7:57:49 AM): he was telling me about how all the ladies flock to his beer belly
Erik Huffman (7:58:37 AM): lol if we added one more person we could become The A-Team
Erik Huffman (7:58:50 AM): *plays a-team theme music*
Taj (7:58:55 AM): hahahha

So far the challenge is not over.....but our tribe is pretty much out of it unless all of my tribe comes on at once and dominates randomly. So I have the option to keep posting and trying to gain more points to get into Ubirr or shrug off the rest of the challenge.
I think I have decided to shrug off the rest of the challenge. I do want to go into Ubirr mostly because im betting thats were the idol is at. But at the same time I would rather somebody else on my tribe get that sort of attention.
Ibrehem is for sure the first one going though. ...Ya I know huge stunner. So I need to just focus and make my relationships very solid with Taj and Eliza. Im not worried about Bubba or Sophie cause I dont think either one of them will take me out this early in the game. I would focus on Dave more but he is who I want gone next on our tribal.
Also I love that everybody is going to tribal except for one tribe. I was kind of hoping that would happen. I know everybody thinks going to tribal is a bummer but I dont mind it. I hate sitting on the sidelines just dicking around. So I will act up my disapointed face and start saying "Dag nabbit". But really im happy we are going.

Eliza wants to allign with me also.....Geez who doesnt want to team up with me?
Erik Huffman (12:18:16 PM): :-\ im pretty positive we lost the challenge
Erik Huffman (12:18:39 PM): i just wanted to see if your still down with taking out ibrehem
Eliza (1:26:56 PM): yeah i know :-(
Eliza (1:27:06 PM): i'm cool with that, has he been there?
Erik Huffman (1:27:17 PM): not really
Erik Huffman (1:27:25 PM): i think he tried to post a couple times on the challenge
Erik Huffman (1:27:32 PM): but it was 7 mins after the mark point
Eliza (1:27:38 PM): lol
Erik Huffman (1:27:41 PM): i think he got confused and went and cried afterwords
Eliza (1:28:04 PM): btw, we were talking about alliances yesterday
Eliza (1:28:10 PM): and i think we should make one
Erik Huffman (1:28:34 PM): like a group? or just me and you
Eliza (1:28:45 PM): well, me and you first
Eliza (1:28:53 PM): but if we can have 4, that would be good
Erik Huffman (1:29:25 PM): well im good with sophie, taj and bubba so one of those 2 joining with us would not be a big deal to me
Erik Huffman (1:29:46 PM): i meant 2 of those 3
Erik Huffman (1:29:57 PM): lol gah im worse then sophie at counting
Erik Huffman (1:30:13 PM): so who do you feel most comfortable with?
Eliza (1:30:24 PM): lol
Eliza (1:30:30 PM): i have talked to them the same amount of time i think
Eliza (1:30:33 PM): so im not really sure
Eliza (1:30:36 PM): yay i was second
Erik Huffman (1:32:30 PM): lol are you just shooting for the top score for the team?
Eliza (1:33:38 PM): i'm just participating
In the end we decided to work with Sophie. So I have an alliance with Bubba/Taj and then one with Sophie/Eliza.
