Dead Man's Island~

[Andrea Boehlke]

So I'm here on Dead Man's Island and I'm actually not as upset about it as I thought I would be. I've always tried to see the positive side to every negative situation that occurs in your life. I feel like the positive right now for me is that I have another shot at entering into this game. I also feel like good knowing that I don't have to rely on other people to keep myself in the game. Now I can really only blame myself if I lose out here on Dead Man's Island. So this game right now is all about me and if I can be strong enough to get myself further. Its a pretty empowering feeling that I want to keep constantly in my mind.

I think the worst thing that you can lose on Dead Man's Island is your desire to reenter the game. I think its very easy to get voted off right now and have that burning feeling to want to get back in! However, as time goes by and you stay here longer I'm sure that desire can start to fade away. I want to make sure that doesn't happen to me! I want to constantly remind myself that they're people in the game that I feel don't deserve to be there over myself. They're also people in the game who have chose to play the game of Survivor with Machiavellian tactics to get ahead. Those people in my mind deserve a day of reckoning and if I come back that's what they'll receive.

I played it the nice way and it got me half way through this game so now I need to play the next half by being strategic and utilizing every resource available to me.

I was prepared for what Dead Man's Island had in store for me. When we were told that the challenge would be a series of competitions I felt pretty confident. I would much rather have different challenges then it all come down to only one challenge. So I was hoping that this would play in my benefit and keep me here on Dead Man's Island a lot longer.

After completing the challenge I have to say I'm not that confident. I know that I certainly didn't finish in the Top 3 and so that concerns me that I'm either just going to make it in or maybe not even be close to staying alive.

I really hope the results come back in my favor, but after my performance I think I could be looking at leaving this game indefinitely.

It was between Silas and I for the last spot to stay on Dead Man's Island and it was a mistake that took me out of the game. It pretty much has been the story of my journey here. I was constantly making these small mistakes and this was the one that I wasn't able to overcome. It has been a great experience though and I'm only sad that I couldn't fight my way back into the game.

I wanted to get a lot further then this, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards for it to happen this time! Maybe next time
