On the last episode, Parrot pulled out a win at the immunity challenge, sending Macaw and Tucan to Tribal Council. As a twist, the Parrot tribe were allowed to give individual immunity to one tribe member from Macaw and Tucan. They chose Mag and Emma.
On Macaw, the vote was united and Samantha was the first tribe member voted out of their tribe. Meanwhile at Tucan, controversy arose as Karen asked to be voted out at Tribal Council. The vote should have been easy, but with Alex’s persuasion (and a little fib to Emma), Aaron was voted out.
What twists are about to happen and how will the tribe members react? Find out in this episode!
Macaw
Mag and Morris…
Mag: So interesting that Sam voted for herself eh? Morris: yeah that's pretty weird, but at least it means we made the right decision (not that i doubted it at all) Mag: absolutely Morris: I just hope we don't have to go to TC again, and we win this immunity challenge Mag: i know! I am prett good at commercial jingles though Mag: and thats what i think it wilk be -- Mag: speed elimination thing? Morris: yeah that's what i think it is too, which I should be good at, but just having them said might not be as good for me Morris: i'm thinking so yes
Laurie confesses…
Oooooooooooh, I don't like the looks of this at ALL. two tribes after tonight eh? I hope I get to stick with some of my current peeps, mainly Matt G and Morris. They're the 2 I definitely trust the most so far.
Ohwell, guess I'll just have to kick some EXTRA ass on this one and hope that I have a say in how the tribes get picked. Or something.
But then again, ya never know what's really going to go down anyway so........ I'll just go into it with an open mind.
Parrot
Ricky Confesses…
So it looks like Samantha and Aaron got the boot; I called both. Samantha just didn’t appear to be that bright of a player, or around that much. She missed one of the challenges. Aaron to me is on the outs of an obvious alliance. One of the reasons I voted Matt out in round one was because he most likely would’ve had an alliance with Luke and Alex. I wasn’t risking that. Saying that, Alex is more of a leader then look and considering Aaron left and Emma had immunity, it can be safe to assume the threat of the younger tribe is Alex. Hopefully we don’t have a tribe switch in a round, cause if we can peg them off one more member and give Emma immunity one more. Alex needs to turn on two allies more then likely. Karen or Luke -- who he is more then likely aligned with. I can’t see Emma making alliances because its early in the game and she has been immune both rounds.
This up coming challenge is really going to be though. We actually have to win this one; and if we don’t, we have to make it look like Erin’s fault. If someone immunes Jack; we won’t have an easy vote off. We absolutely have to win or come second in the next challenge to avoid turning on each-other.
I personally do not want Erin, Shawn or Jenn to go…because they are great lapdogs. They follow my ideas without question, they totally see what I’m thinking. I don’t know if there actually following me blindly or if they have a secret agenda, the fact is in this game; their moves have been reminiscent to my own.
In the next immunity I’m hoping to solely win it once again. I want my tribe to know I’m a power-house so that they can be sure. Knowing that if they stay with me…they can go the distance. I need at least three loyal followers throughout this whole thing to help get from round to one…and I think those three are perfect.
Shawn confesses…
We won immunity the other night!! Yay. Thanks to Ricky. He kicked butt in the challenge. But we all kinda were wondering what the hell Jack was thinking? He all but told everyone that he was outside of our little group and he practically shouted from the rooftops he's unloyal but also knows Luke and Alan... What was he thinking!? I mean he knew he was next to go if we lost, so... maybe that's why but I still dont get why he acted that way.... lol.
Tucan
Emma confesses…
it looks like we're gonna have a tribe switch this round.. the 2 new tribes on the board kinda give it away...
even before i find out who's on my tribe, i'm kinda super relieved. i'm on really good terms with luke and alex, but i'm pretty sure they seem to be closer with karen. i'm not sure how much longer i'd last on that tribe. but thank GOD we booted aaron when we did. he would for sure be a threat now that there's new tribes, i have no doubt in my mind that he'd try to boot us right away. now that there are going to be three new people on the tribe, i'd feel very comfortable if i stayed with alex, luke and karen.
i still haven't talked to karen, so i'm not sure if she's happy about still being here or not. even if she isn't, i dont regret my decision because she'll be an easy boot. hopefully she still wants to play the game though, because in the past she's been a pretty valuable player.
Luke confesses…
Aaron is gone. I don't feel bad at all. I know he tried to screw me over, would try to screw me over again, and wouldn't think twice about it. I'm quite glad he's out of the tribe.
So now there are fourteen left in the game. With four left in our little tribe. It makes me even more nervous.
I'm petrified that we'll lose Immunity once more. And, that once again, Emma will be immune. I don't really have anything against Emma anymore, since she helped with blind-siding Aaron (having him go in a united vote was amazing) ... but I feel a lot closer to Karen and Alex. If we lose, and she's immune, it's going to be tight. I'd be torn as to who to side with, either Karen or Alex would have to go, and I'm not cool with that yet.
So either there will be some sort of switch this round, or we'll stick to what we have and just hope we win Immunity ... that way Emma won't get Individual Immunity and we're forced to make a decision in Tucan that we don't really want to make.
Emma and Luke…
Emma: i just went to the board, and it looks like there's a tribe switch tonight Emma: our normal tribes have been removed, and there's 2 new ones now Luke: boo. Luke: good observation though, lol Emma: yeah:-( hopefully we'll be on the same tribe though Luke: i hope we can be divided up 2-2 ... so that way no one is alone ya know? Emma: yeah, same here. tucan's gotta stick together! haha. Luke: oh for sure, since we've lost the most members hopefully everyone will kinda let us be for a few rounds Luke: lol Emma: hahaha yeah, i hope we're not over-powered Emma: that would suck Luke: i wonder how they're gonna be divided Luke: maybe you'll get to pick, like, maybe the 2 individual immune ppl decide?? Emma: hmm, maybe. that'd be pretty sweet haha Luke: i guess we all knew one would be coming eventually though Luke: like i figured if not this round then the next Emma: yeah, same here. i'm so relieved we got rid of aaron though Emma: that was a really smart move Luke: i know, he would have swapped on us like theres no tomorrow Luke: i really feel you, me, karen and alex wont vote any of us out anytime soon Emma: yeah, me too. or atleast i hope so Emma: i feel like i can trust all of you guys though:-) Luke: same same ... blaaah tonight is gonna be intense Luke: it'd be cool if the 4 of us were still together Luke: lol Emma: i know, i'm hoping we are:-) how many people are left? Luke: 14 Luke: if us 4 were together in a tribe of 7 that'd be sweet Emma: yeah, we'd be so strong:-) Luke: that would be quite kickass, lol

Cobra
Alan, Shawn, Morris, Karen, Alex and Jack…
Alan: So we get to meet and then vote straight away? What fun. Alan: Now we have to vote without even meeting properly LOL Alan: I'll be the frank one then. Who knows about Erin? This isn't the first challenge she missed true? Shawn: that's true Shawn: she hasn't been active Alan: Okay. Since I want to get to know people on my new tribe and I can't get to know her if she's not online. Anyone else think that's a good reason to vote her, or shall we vote me for being so up front about it? Morris: I think erin would be a good idea, just because she wasn't here and i don't know her? And if she's going to be gone a while well, that would only hurt us Karen: yeah Alan: Seems to make sense and I don't like being so blunt about it, but we're forced to make an only partially informed decision here Alex: yeah, that's probably the safest thing to do... Jack: Here's my deal, though, if we're being upfront. Jack: Assuming erin goes,I may make every challenge(not very good though), but otherwise I'm not on as much as the rest of you guys. Will that be a factor if we end up going again, or are challenges enough? Morris: i think so long as you're there for challenges, i mean, it's nice to get to know people a little but not talking to me or karen or alan or alex or erin or shawn doesn't really affect the tribe in a negative way Alan: I'm always around though today was one of my worst ever challenges. Never had being non-American hurt me before LOL Morris: i mean you contribute at challenges, that's good enough for me Morris: and hopefully because of that we won't have to go to a tribal council again Alex: as long as you're online, that's all that matters Morris: but keeping around someone we know won't be there doesn't sound like the best idea, unless someone knows that erin will be present at the next challenge then...i don't know...I think I'm going to vote for her Karen: ditto what he said. Shawn: alright so I guess our vote is for Erin then? Alan: Yeah I'm voting that way. Who was her prior tribemate? Alex: alrighty ill do that Shawn: me and Jack were with her Alex: how was she before she moved? Shawn: pretty active, but none of us were really on at the same time so its hard to judge Alan: Okay so you understand it's not an attack on the "Parrots" - we're a new tribe and the split is so mixed that we can dispense with the old lines. This is just the best option for now. She was active? But this is her second no show Alan: from three challenges? Shawn: she was there for the first but after that, lol ... it was erin who? Jack: I mean, no use fighting the wind. Agreed Shawn: yeah Alan: There's a wind? Dammit no-one tells me anything
Alex and Alan…
Alan: So my bluntness was a necessary tool to get things moving, but people don't seem to be discussing widely. Are you on with the Erin idea? Alex: yeah Alex: why, u have something else in mind? Alex: im all ears Alan: No that's the only idea I had so far. Just ensuring I didn't annoy someone without noticing Alex: you're not annoying me:) Alex: yet Alex: hehe Alan: *notes: must try harder* Alex: so how was macaw tribe? Alan: Pretty good really. Not overly prone to chats because evryone was kinda busy, but all pretty focused on the game. Alex: well that's cool
Alan and Karen…
Alan: Hi Karen. I chose you against instruction cos I really didn't want a testosterone overload. Don't like getting the only other female out, but I'm not seeing any options? Alan: er my choice was in the tribal pick Alan: I mean not now LOL Karen: i assumed Karen: no i mean she's dead weight Karen: so what can you do. Alan: yeah okay. Karen: so what made you choose me against "instruction"? Alan: lol well you know all males erk! lotsa talk about football and stuff round the camp? No thanks. Anyway it prevented someone from dominating this tribe as he tried Karen: i take it by using smartly placed pronouns you're not wanting to say who this was. Alan: It's probably not the best thing to focus on. It was a clever try, but we ended up about as mixed as can be and that's probably a good thing Karen: yeah
Alan and Jack…
Jack: So, Alan. Are we in it to win it or do we see how things turn out? Alan: Of course I wanna win as long as you haven't got some secret blood bond with the freaky Parrots? Jack: I fucking hate one of them, I like the rest, but meh. Jack: What about you and Team Codger? Alan: Not all that keen, but probably have working relationships with most of them for later in the game. Laurie is dangerous of course. Mag seems pretty weak. MattG is a strong strategy player. Morris isn't all that clear, but I'm pretty sure I can carry his vote for us here Jack: Just from what I talked with Matt G after a challenge in the chatroom, he seems like a guy I'd like, but then, I like people who end up backstabbing me, present company excluded. Alan: MattG really reminded me of you actually. I just went straight into the routine I run with you and he played along from the start. But like you I count his as smart - so possibly a danger to you and I in the long term Jack: Just let's cut down on the IC chat chatter between the two of us, seems a bit suspicious. Alan: okay Jack: So are we working with Shawn and Morris here? Alan: Works for me Alan: We are a group of seven or six? Jack: 7 Alan: k so four of us should be able to get through to merge? That thinking almost worked in Tuamotu LOL Jack: Except maybe we'll actually stay in these tribes for a significant amount of time? Jack: It just seems smart for right now anyhow, you have one person from your tribe, I have one from mine. Alan: True - I hate the testosterone of our group though. If you all start talking about football and stuff I'm in trouble LOL Yeah works for me Jack. I'll make the same deal with you as I offerered in Tua since we didn't get to finish it. F2 you and me. Let's see if we have better luck this time Jack: Hopefully. Jack: I hate sports here, don't worry. Jack: Let's get to merge with our four, if we stick in this arrangement, and the schedule doesn't allow for a castaway twist unless we have another two-people-go tc. Alan: okay agreed Alan: k it's a deal. I'll make sure Morris is all cool with it. You handle Shawn. We probably let them both feel we're sticking to old tribal lines and play it like that till merge and a review Jack: Karen and alex are both on the kids table tribe, right? Alan: Yessir. Keep Karen over Alex first up I guess cos we wanna keep the attractive girl longer or we'll look gay Or even better win some fricken challenges Jack: lol, you and your estrogen fixation. Jack: So, what was the idea behind your vote out over there? Alan: Oh she was just the least active. I felt bad cos she was nice and it was her first game, but even she voted for herself in the end LOL Jack: Here it was pretty much because of Matt's rep...apparently he knew a lot of people. Jack: You know Ricky? Alan: just through mini's. He's a loudmouth, but fairly strong mini player Jack: Oh god, I hate the guy. He made all the decisions without asking anyone, assumed he knew what was going to happen because he co-hosted...ugh... Alan: lol - yeah sounds about right. Jack: So, any thoughts on who has the idol? Jack: The earliest time for sending it in was about 45 minutes after it was posted. Jack: that anyone told me, that is. Alan: Well I am very dubious about that idol. I mean how can an immunity be given away so cheaply? Once I looked for it I solved it in less than five minutes Alan: I'm always suspicious of free lunches Jack: Me too Jack: Hopefully, it pops up on the other tribe. Jack: As in, that person goes down. Jack: Lol, what'd happen if Erin had it but self voted? Alan: Yeah - pretty sure Morris doesn't have it Jack: I really, really hope that whoever has it loses it soon on the other tribe, but meh. Jack: I think someone on my tribe has it, but I'm not sure so I won't commit to it. Jack: I'm thinking Ricky, but meh. Alan: hmmm well we'll see. So easy to get, it just seems suspicious to me
Alan confesses…
So that's the sitch. I really hated that methodology of tribal switch and the challenge afterwards. It all seemed too random and chaotic - I don't like it when you have no chance to finesse the game.
Jack and I were allied in a previous game where an outcast twist destroyed our game, so it's been easy to pick up where we left off and resume an alliance. I like him a lot, though I regard him as a strong player, thus quite dangerous - in the balance though it's better to work with someone you like of you can.
Having said that, I did actually damage his attempt to rule the group by choosing the people who joined our tribe during the pick'em - that's just common sense. From now however, I will work with him.
Erin was the no show and basically I dumped her on the table for us all cos this voting as soon as you meet thing is a pain and it makes an easy choice for us. It also neatly balances the prior tribe mix to two each.
We'll see how it goes, but initial impression is that everyone will go along, so we live to fight another day.
Shawn and Alex…
Shawn :so what do you think of jack? Alex : were you on a tribe with him?
Shawn : yeah, we were on parrot together Alex : oh was that like? fun? Shawn : ugh Alex : so im guessing u werent close with em? Shawn : not really Shawn : we all liked each other but i mean... lol Shawn : so who were you with? lol, it's so hard keeping track of three tribes and who was with who Alex : i was with karen Alex : she's cool, she almost quit the game Alex : but decided not to Alex : dont tell her i told u that, she might get angry Shawn : lol, I won't Shawn : it seems alan and jack are kinda taking control, lol Alex : agreed Alex : im thinking if we vote erin now Alex : and IF we lose again, which is high considering the other tribe is filled with challenge whores... Alex : we could get u, me, karen, and morris together Alex : to separate those two Shawn : i would definitely go for that Shawn : i'm guessing karen and morris might go for it but i wonder if morris and alan are close Alex : true.. Alex : im kinda glad we had a switch though Alex : i think we tucan lost again, i wouldve been next Shawn : wow that sucks... i'm glad we switched too, i definitely wasn't feeling too good either Alex : just making sure Alex : your name's Shawn, right? Shawn : at least we know we only need to survive one more tc to make merge Alex : yep yep Alex : morris is having internet troubles, so i dont think i can get a hold of him Shawn confesses…
Well damn!! We switched tribes! I had a feeling it was coming. I wasn't surprised to be picked near last. I'm pretty quiet so I kinda blend in.
I'm working two angles right now. Jack thinks I'm sticking with him and going with Alan, but I'm actually going to be going with Alex and hopefully Karen and Morris to break up Jack and Alan, cause it's obvious they are taking charge and have the potential to join together.
I was all for Parrot sticking together but Erin threw a huge wrench into that by not being active. Granted, life got in the way unfortunately but still... There wasn't much I could do to save her without giving away my alliances. It was hard to ignore she was never around.
My goal is to just survive this vote and survive the next if we lose and rejoin Ricky and Jenn and hope for the best. Unfortunately, it could be the three of us against who knows what the hell... It's gonna start getting messy!
Morris and Alex…
Alex: so who was from your original tribe? Morris: Alan, and that's it I believe Morris: who was on yours? Alex: karen Alex: im sure u know karen, lol Alex: what was alan like? Morris: yeah yeah, i know karen, HAHAHAHA, Alan's pretty strong, and up front, as he demonstrated earlier Alex: yeah Alex: lol, ive noticed :-P Alex: u think jack and alan have something going on? Morris: i don't know, i think they may know eachother Alex: yea Alex: i dunno, maybe it's paranoia, but it kinda worries me Morris: so i didn't really see what people said to voting out Erin, was it generally agreed upon? Alex: yeah Alex: we're all voting for erin Morris: i honestly have no idea if he and Jack know eachother, but i bet they do, i'll ask him

Mamba
Emma confesses…
the tribe switch was okay, I guess. Laurie, Mag and Jenn seem to be incredibly strong players – they’re the only reason why we have immunity right now, and they’re all super nice too. I haven’t had the chance to talk with Matt yet, but I’m hoping to soon. and I’m with Luke, which is awesome. Ricky? uhh. lets just say first impressions aren’t always completely right, and I’m definitely re-thinking picking him to be on Mamba. from the immunity challenge chats I knew that he was an active player and good at the challenges, which is why I picked him. what I didn’t know is that he’s an egotistical bastard who thinks he has the game completely in his power. the even sadder thing? by the looks of it, he totally does. everyone’s scared to even think of plotting against him cause he’s so goddamn controlling, and doesn’t even try and hide it. about 20 minutes after the challenge, even after having won immunity, he approaches me and asks me what I think about voting off Luke first. lmfao what did he think I’d think of it? voting off my ONLY tribe member first? looks like someone’s trying to let me know he has all the power in the game, and won’t have it any other way. theres absolutely no reason that luke has to go first, except to put me in my place. well atleast he offered some kind of lame ass excuse – apparently luke’s aligned with Laurie and Alan? whatever, even if this was true I don’t see how it means he has to go first.
so, now I’m faced with a huge decision. Ricky offered me a Final Four deal if I voted Luke at our first tribal council. I have no idea how loyal he is, but jerks usually aren’t. all I know is that even if it’s a total lie, it’s atleast buying me some time to figure something else out. who knows, maybe the kid will even grow on me. but luke! voting him out is maybe one of the biggest mistakes I’ll make this game, because after he’s gone I’ll basically be alone. I’m trying to find a way to keep him around, but other then winning immunity every round, I don’t really see a way. Ricky seems to have everyone under his control, so each boot after this will probably be based on who he likes the most. suck up time? probably. should I tell luke it looks like he’s the next one? nah. There’s not much we can do, so it’s pretty pointless.
Ricky, Laurie, Mag and Jenn…
Ricky: Mags who was good on the other tribe? Ricky: For us we know Shawn and Jack (the devils pawn), are good at challenges. Mag: Well Laurie and me Mag: HAHAHAHAHA Mag: jk Ricky: aka our immunity whores of the hour. Ricky: So happy to have that win. Jenn: Yeah, thanks a ton Mag. that was amazing Mag: nah... everyone has their strenghts Mag: we just happened to show ours tonight Ricky: So us four, and Matt G... Laurie: well I just have to state the obvious here - why are you excluding Luke? Ricky: I wasn't on Luke's tribe. Ricky: Me and Jenn are from Parrot. Laurie: gotcha Ricky: Emma and Luke are from Tucan I think. Laurie: well Matt and Mag and I were together, but I can't really speak for him tonight til I talk to him, ya know? Ricky: I know that I personally get along with Matt, don't know if Jenn has ever met him. Ricky: But right now, i guess we can talk about us four, then talk to Matt when he comes? Mag: Yeah what if he is buddies with Luke.....? Ricky: I don't think Luke knows Matt G. Ricky: Luke knows alan and jack. Laurie: to be honest with you, this is the 1st time anyone has approached me about strategy or alliances....I'd like to take some time to think things over if that's ok? Ricky: Oh no worries, I just felt it was a time to do it; tribe switch and all. Laurie: oh sure - normally it IS a good time, but everything is going so fast I'm still getting used to the NEW tribe, ya know? Mag: and basking in the glow of immunity! Jenn: LOL exactly, we've got nothing to worry about for now Ricky: That is truth :-P
Ricky and Jenn…
Ricky: We got emma in our new alliance. Ricky: but don't let anyone know. Ricky: On the other side, we have Mags/MattG/Laurie Jenn: so Luke is the other Ricky: luke is boot #1 Ricky: Cause he makes me angry Jenn: yeah he has a lot of enemies it seems Jenn: how'd you get Emma into this alliance so fast? Jenn: that was quick! Ricky: go roll the dice Ricky: just because its our way of saying to mags/laurie Ricky: that we're alligned Ricky: I don't like Laurie. Jenn: she seems suspicious Ricky: this could work. Jenn: yeah I was kind of worried at first seeing how we only had two people over here, but I think we'll be o.k. Ricky: We have emma, we basically only really just need mags Ricky: or matt g Ricky: and we've got majority Jenn: so what did Emma say? Did she promise her allegiance to us haha Ricky: I made her think "I saved her Ricky: with the immunity Ricky: after tomorrow only 3 more rounds. Jenn: Exactly .. it's right around the corner Jenn: that's a shame that someone in our group could go Jenn: but oh well Jenn: better them than us I guess Ricky: Yeah. Jenn: and I think Mag / Laurie will possible join us anyways Ricky: I think I can control this tribe. Jenn: possibly* Ricky: Only problems are luke Ricky: and Laurie, she has her own opinions. Ricky: I don't care; who we knock out, as long as we both make merge. Jenn: exactly Jenn: we will, too Jenn: I feel it Ricky: 3 rounds. Jenn: especially if we keep owning in the ICs Ricky: we need to hope shawn makes it. Jenn: yeah Jenn: he's the one I'm most worried about, but I think he'll pull it off Ricky: We really tried to get him on. Ricky: I knew he could handle himself the best if he was alone, which he basically is. So I made sure to grab you, cause they would've assumed. "Girl, weak, lets get her out." Ricky: which isn't the case. Jenn: aw thanks for looking out for me. I appreciate it
Ricky and Emma…
Ricky: Hey Emma. I was wondering if you thought about the idea of voting Luke out, I can most likely give you F4 in this game... Emma: i like luke, but i'm not sure if i trust him entirely. Ricky: Why not? Emma: i dont know, there's just something about him Emma: why do you want him to be voted out? Ricky: I don't like him, and he knows Alan and Jack -- Jack and Luke have made it too obvious. I also think that he and Laurie have something on the side going on. Not something I entirely like. Emma: alright, fair enough i guess.. i've never made an alliance with him, but i've talked to him a lot and we're on good terms. you can probably guess why i'm kind of on the fence about voting out the only other tucan member first Ricky: Yeah, don't worry about; just trust me on this
Ricky confesses…
Today was going good. We were ready to win the challenge; and we were well aware a tribe switch was upon us, but for some reason we didn’t actually think it was going to happen this round. Right when he noticed the tree mail meant it was today, I pulled in our tribe to a chat and made them vow to stick together. Jack didn’t vow to shit. He is a shady idiot, who is going to backstab whoever is on his tribe in the switch, which is his prerogative. Come on jack, and show your true colors -- cause when we meet up against, I’ll exploit them for all its worth.
So the Tribe’s were made, and me and Jenn are now on Mamba with Emma, Luke, Matt G, Laurie and Mags. Immediately I messaged Mags and told her I was a huge fan of her in a game she played a few months back. I also told her that I gave her immunity to make sure she stayed around. I think Mags is honest, and we aligned. I’m not quite sure if she’ll stick with me, but I need to give her the benefit of the doubt. We decided to include Laurie, Jenn and Matt G in on this.
However; it seems Laurie might be aligned with Luke; she didn’t seem to optimistic about an alliance. Which will be her downfall, because not only do I have Jenn, Mags, Matt G and her; but I have Emma on the side. Everyone but Luke, and I’m going to work it.
Laurie and Mag…
Mag: ok so this is good -- "good" lol Laurie: yeah I'm pretty ok now, this seems like another kickass group Mag: hmmm Laurie: hmmm? Mag: Ricky: Do you think you can talk to Laurie about a alliance, you mattg, with me and jenn?
Laurie: hmmm indeed Mag: INteresting....... since it would the 3 of us (you me and matt) and then the 2 of them....... Mag: leaving Luke the odd man out
Laurie: yeah i'm not comfy with that just yet Mag: INTERESTING....... says a lot thoguh you know? Laurie: yeah I know....... Mag: kinda read between the lines stuff Laurie: well, they DID blindside Matt in a similar way from what he told me Mag: I have to say... i trust you more than anyone here Laurie: oh wow thanks! Mag: yeah he told me too AND matt and i were in BBs3 together with I love you I love you Tina! You're the greatest host in the world!! You're the greatest host in the world! Laurie: I get a good feeling about you too Laurie: oh ok, so there's that whole "six degrees of separation thing" haha Mag: Right... and Ricky plain ole told me that he voted Matt out cuz of BBS Laurie: see, I don't think things should carry over from game to game Mag: i agree Mag: ESP cuz ricky wasnt in it Mag: he is just readingepps Laurie: wow! then that's double dirty Mag: yes Mag: although he did tell me he is a 'fan' of me lol Laurie: well, I'm going to keep my eyes open.... Mag: I would really like the 2 of us to work together... i think we are similar and i like that! So I promise i will tell you anything qand everything i hear..... and share my 'gossip' lol that is gleaned
Luke confesses…
Did I mention I feel very uncomfortable in my new tribe? And it all has to do with a certian man called Ricky.
Ricky is power hungry and immature. He'll step on whoever and take down whoever is in his way. He's really a great Survivor player, which is bad news for me. I get negative vibes from him, I feel like he's out to get me.
Within 5 seconds of me joining Mamba he goes "Pick Shawn, he's strong." I can easily see Shawn is a member of Ricky's former tribe, and not wanting to give Ricky any more power then he needs, I say "No". Then he goes "The whole tribe has already decided, you're dumb if you don't pick him". So I already feel kind of on the outside because of that.
I don't remember what old tribes my new tribemates are from, but I want to stay on guard. I think Emma and Ricky are going to be working together, along with Jenn, because Emma picked Ricky first and Ricky tried to recruit Jenn but couldnt cuz they were from same tribe.
We'll see what develops in the next few days.
I'm SO glad we won Immunity, I think Ricky would have lobbied hard for me to go. This buys me a few more days to bond with some tribemates, hopefully garanteeing me some safety until we merge or something.
MattG and Ricky…
MattG: anything exciting happen with our tribe yet?
Ricky: Not really. Ricky: I think Luke and Laurie know each-other. Ricky: Which makes my idea of me you, jenn, mags and laurie crap lol MattG: I just read that as we were talking. I will talk to laurie and see what the deal is with her and luke....we really dont have an alliance though, so methinks things are still up in the air Ricky: Talked to her a bit today; she seems edy, most likely cause she was friends with the Matt my tribe booted. Ricky: We got the good tribe compared to the other one. The immunity win was a landslide 12-1 MattG: yeah I heard that, thats ridiculous. But yeah I think from our tribe Laurie and Mags are the best at challenges, and obviously you're good too, so i think we're pretty set Ricky: I think Laurie is a challenge whore for sure. MattG: haha, and that can only be good...until the merge anyways Ricky: Yup. lol Ricky: I noticed alot of people who are close with Matt joined this game. Ricky: I am beginning to think it was done purposely on Matts case. Ricky: But it just makes me more glad that he is out. MattG: yeah i hear that, it's gonna be interesting to see where the game goes from here, cause I dont think theres any huge players that have emerged quite yet Ricky: I'm sooo fustraited that Jack is obviously in control of the other tribe. Drives me insane. MattG: dont like him? Ricky: Not at all. Who would backstab on their tribe in a snap of a second. Ricky: At least find a reason to do so, or do it eventually. Ricky: Not just when the opportunity is given to you. MattG: yeah I suppose, it'll come back and bite him in the butt though. any idea who he's running with? Ricky: Alan more then likely. Ricky: Jack made it clear prior to the switch he knew alan and luke. MattG: well shit...let's hope we're a tribe united when we merge Ricky: I think we will be, if Luke is our only casulty and we win the other immunities. MattG: yeah I suppose if luke turns that would just be no good Ricky: He will. I think Alan is starting to play for keeps, and knows Jack will take the fall for the moves. Ricky: Those two are the power duo for sure over there. MattG: yeah i hear that oh well, the next day or so and I'll have a better idea on whats going on over on this side of things Ricky: No one has really talked, so you haven't missed much. Ricky: An alliance was formed though, me, mags, jenn, hopefully you if your up for it. Ricky: Laurie is on the fence, which I don't understand, its a really fast paced game lol MattG: yeah really...not a lot of time to scheme and what not. well I can say assuredly that if the alliance is the majority, obviously I'm with it. I dont know anyone in the game and I have no intention on scheming some sort of huge plot, I just want to get through Ricky: Yeah with you, you make it the majority. Ricky: Me, Jenn, Mags and you, two from each tribe, minus tucan. MattG: it's a smart idea for sure. I think the sooner we can get together us 4 and talk about specifics the better, I'd be all for it Ricky: Thats good then, probably around the next challenge then. Ricky: So sunday, we'd all probably be on. MattG: yep, that sounds good. as of now though let's refrains telling everyone "Matt's with us for sure" I want to get a feeling for what everyone's thinking first. but rest assured, if it's us 4, and we talk and we're all straight, I'm in Ricky: Good stuff. Ricky: Hopefully we just keep on trucking, and win these things though. Ricky: Going on with the majority is everything, especially when the sneaky players are on the other tribe. MattG: yeah i think our tribe is pretty straightforward which is awesome
MattG confesses…
{Ricky is just being too pushy for this whole alliance thing right now. I think he's a good guy and all, but if he keeps rubbing people the wrong way there not much I can do. As of right now I'm in a good spot, as is Laurie and Mag, I think we're in a position of power here, if we want Ricky gone I'm sure we can facilitate it. All the same, I'm not going to pass judgement right now, it's much too early. It might make the most sense to align with him and Jen, who knows.}
MattG and Laurie…
Laurie: it would appear that Ricky is trying to get the 3 of us with him to be a 5 alliance or something Laurie: and he's being REALLY pushy about it MattG: I already know that ;-) MattG: and get this MattG: granted, I know this isnt true MattG: he's telling me that Himself, Jenn and Mag are an alliance, and they want me to join....but I figured that there was no way you and Mag would split so fast....so I told him I wasnt committing to shit. anyways, continue sorry hun ;-) Laurie: no no that would seem like something he would do already Laurie: we were all in a big tribe chat with the 6 of us minus Emma, and and then he started a different one with EVERYONE..... minus Luke, so I saw where that was going in a hurry MattG: yes indeed Laurie: and he was immediately all "so how about the 5 of us" and I said "well, I'll state the obvious here, where's Luke" Laurie: and he said he decided that he thinks that the 3 of us should hook up with the 2 ex-parrots and form a 5 Laurie: and Mag and I kinda talked in circles for a while, but didn't give an answer, and I even SAID......... I can't make this decision, because I won't speak for Matt in his absence MattG: you're a darling Laurie: LOL no I just don't like pushy people, and Mag agreed MattG: yeah me neither, the guy is just all over my nuts already MattG: he's totally trying to butter me up telling me how he thinks I could win the game....I'm like......" I dont even know you AT ALL" Laurie: oh yeah he's been kissing my ass bigtime as well Laurie: so I immediately think....... let's get rid of HIM! hahaha sorry but I can't stand players like that MattG: no no, I agree. I don't like it either. So...for the record though, me you and mag, are we gonna stick together? MattG: cause I would enjoy that thoroughly Laurie: oh so would I totally Laurie: I tried to talk to her about it today but I didn't catch her on at all when I was here MattG: ok, well, obviously you know my feelings, I trust both of you a lot more than I do a bunch of randoms like Ricky Laurie: and the thing is, in the initial hellos, I found Luke to be really nice and approachable, and then Ricky excluded him, so that made me suspicious as well Laurie: but of course this is just my own perception MattG: ah, and see one of the first thing ricky tells me is "I think Laurie knows Luke, and I want him out" Laurie: LOL I don't know him at ALL before last night - oh that's rich MattG: yeah i know...trust me I'm not taking anything he says seriously. But anyways, it sounds like he's "with" jenn voting wise, and Luke and Emma together. so we really do hold a position of power right now. unless the 2 groups of 2 decide to ge together, but it doesent sound like it Laurie: yeah I was thinking along those same lines... that we need ONE of the groups of 2 to not get voted out...... MattG: yeah exactly, and from my limited convo with ricky it seems like the idea him and jenn teaming up with luke and emma is the furthest thing from his mind Laurie: yeah - which makes him not exactly a brilliant strategist LOL Laurie: sorry that was rude MattG: haha, exactly. but it's true. it's just a matter of talking to luke about it I'm sure MattG: hell we'd only need one person Laurie: yeah I'm pretty sure too, and especially once we tell him of Ricky's plan, I'm sure he would join us MattG: yeah I think so for sure. Laurie: but again...... we need Mag's approval on this, but she and I think very similarly on these things, so I think she'd be ok with it. MattG: yeah dont worry, I'm not all for rushing these things, and I know that you've got deeper alliances with Mag, whatever works for you guys Laurie: oh I never said that, we've never said the official A word ;-) she just happened to be there when all this shit went down last night, so we got to talk about it
Mag and Laurie…
Mag: ok so.... whats with ricky??!?
Laurie: well, I don't think any of us like him Mag: LOL its not that i dont like him... its that he is really really REALLYeager for this alliance?!? Laurie: so anyway......... have you talked to Luke yet much? Mag: Only a bit last night... very little Laurie: yeah me too..... but he seems ok...... Laurie: so......... Matt had said, strategically, if we're a 3 we NEED a group of 2 to survive this round Mag: right.... personally -- Emma is on our tribe too right??? have not seen or heard ANYTHING from her - she would be my thought before anyone -- Mag: ok but who was his alliance?? it wasnt her -? Laurie: well the other one is Jenn
Laurie: but......... and maybe you'll disagree.........I think Ricky has potential to be a snake, and so for that........... I may consider him as anearly option Mag: I do think he has the potential to be the snake (ex: Matt going home) Laurie: yes Laurie: and I'm not saying Im' avenging Matt or anything, but Ricky's own behavior is making me suspicious.... Mag: I agree and well i did promise matt i would avenge his death Laurie: you haven't made any deals with him or anything have you? Ricky I mean? Laurie: according to Matt, ricky told him you are voting with him Mag: I told him that i thought sticking together is a good idea, which i do -- a GROUP sticking together but that i felt close to you and that i would not (1) force you into anything (which is kinda what it seemed he wanted me to do which is insane) and (2) speak for anyone else but myself -- Mag: I let him think i was interested - yes -- MAINLY becasue i want to hear what he says to say " Laurie: right ok, thank you........ Mag: and like i said last night, the only person i fullly trust (esp now that matt is gone) is you Laurie: and I don't speak for anyone either, which is why when he was pressing the issue last night, and Matt wasn't even THERE......... I was like "whoa, step back, kid!" haha Mag: right --!!!!!!!! Laurie: I would hope....... in a perfect Survivor world Laurie: that we win immunity again, and get to know the other 2 a little better before we have to make any other decisions..... Mag: anyway..... right now? I am keepign him close.. you know that old adage? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Tribal Council Welcome to Tribal Council Cobra Tribe! New tribe, new tribe members. How will this effect the vote? Alex, you were the first to choose a member of your new tribe. Looking around, are you pretty confident that this tribe will be stronger than your original tribe?Well, since my first tribe never won an immunity, nothing can be worst than that, So yes, I believe this tribe is stronger than my original tribe. Go Cobra! Jack, what are you basing you vote on tonight? Is Parrot loyalty out the window?Well, what we have here is a TC where you have loyalty and intelligence opposing each other. That's all I have to say. Alan, in choosing tribe members, did you all have a say in who each chose?To be honest the whole meet seemed little more than chaos to me, so I don't believe, there was much in the way of organising choosing. Anyway having now seen Karen, I know I made a good choice. Karen, How well do you think you'll fit in with your new tribe?I think that I will fit in with this tribe, since a lot of the people on it seem cool. I do think I'm a relatively easy person to get along with so unless having boobs puts me in the minority (and thus on the outskirts) on this tribe, I'm not overly worried. Morris, can we expect a united vote or divided sides?::crickets:: Shawn, were you shocked to learn that there would be no more individual immunities until merge?I suppose so, LOL. It was a nice little twist at first, kinda stirred things up. I'm excited for the new tribe and excited to meet new people so... as Alex said, GO COBRA! Erin, you were immune at the first TC, your tribe won the second. How secure do you feel tonight?::crickets:: With that being said, it is time to vote. The survivors go up to the voting booth. The writes down a single name and place it in the voting urn. After all tribe members have again sat back down, the urn is retrieved. Once the votes are read, the decision is final. That person will be asked to leave immediately. I'll read the votes. . . . . . Alex writes down…[ERIN] Sorry Erin, no idea when you'll be back...no talk, no use. Bye! . . . . . Shawn writes down… JACK My vote is for you Jack. You're shady, you cannot be trusted and you and Alan have got to be broken up. Erin is back in the picture and my priority is my alliance of four. I did like you but this is a game and you gotta do what you gotta do to save yourself. . . . . . Erin writes down… I am voteing for Jack. I know he is trying to get me out. Which I can't really blame him...but I am going to try to beat him to it and take him out. . . . . . Alan writes down… My vote is for [ERIN] Sorry I don't know you so I don't have much choice if you don't show up. . . . . . Jack writes down… Erin-I'm really sorry, I am, but everybody says they're voting you, and who am I to argue? . . . . 5th person voted out of Survivor: Jungle Fever . . . . . ErinErin, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Erin’s Final words… I must say I did not do much in this game...things have been CRAZY in my life. I have never been this absent in a game before. Matt, you need to spend a day in my life before you start judgeing people about the game. I have 2 family memebers in the hospital, a good friend of my family died, and I have had to move all of a sudden in the past week and a half. So please get to know people before you are to quick to judge them.
