So we had a merge/swap, something that is to be expected in such a large game. 5 original gunlom, 4 purple, and 2 yellow. My initial reaction was "Oh no". If we lose and all of the non gunlom stick together, my original tribe is toast. If I was in their shoes I would do the exact same thing since gunlom is the only tribe not to lose a player thus far.
As far as the new tribe is concerned. I am very happy with the original Gunlom members I ended up with. I would have prefered to have Richard over Greg, but besides that I am very pleased.
The strategic player in me knew that the original gunlom members would only need one person to keep the majority. I also realized our best bet of that was to snatch one of the yellows quickly (ethan and/or Ralph). I immediately decided to direct my attention to those two players ( I will worry about purple later). Grabbing one of these players will give myself a number of weeks in this game (if we don't win any immunity and there is not twist/switch for a while).
Ethan- he came off overly worried about his position in the game. Honestly, this made no sense to me at all. he has the potential to be THE swing vote and can save himself easily if he sided with the 5 original gunlom. I have to watch out for him because he may be a snake.
Ralph- I trust Ralph a whole hell of a lot more than ethan. He already hinted at siding with gunlom to keep himself safe, I would just like to nail that deal down tonight if possible.
As far as the other members, I am going to talk to all of them tonight before and after the challenge.
more to come tonight...
