Allan's Confessional - Keep Out!

[a11an]

We arrived at the challenge beach and there was a giant map of the world. We were told that a bit of trivia would be revealed, hinting at a city on the map. We each had to use a bow and arrow with a soft arrowhead dipped in paint, and fire the arrow to the city we thought was the answer.

Whoever was closest got to eliminate someone from the challenge on the other tribe.

I did very well, but not because I was smart. I mean, I knew a LOT of the answers but didn't want to be seen as a threat, so I threw a lot of rounds, and only won one toward the end. Our tribe came down to myself and Kieran, and the other tribe had Tom. In that round Tom won, and scratched his head while deciding whether to eliminate me or Kieran. He eventually chose to eliminate me, and I hung my head in sadness and slowly walked to the makeshift bench.

Kieran ended up losing to Tom in the final which means our tribe has to go to tribal council. Bollocks. As IF Kieran didn't know that Colonia was in Yap.

The other tribe whooped with joy and trotted off to the other side of the island, which is essentially right over there.

When we got back to camp, Britti pulled me aside and said we had to make use of Stephen's journal. I waved Joe over to talk to us, and pointed to Stephen's bag, which lay open partly. He immediately knew what we were asking, so he nonchalantly walked by it and when other people were around, pulled it out and leafed through it.

Ricky and Kieran asked what it was and went over to look. Britti and I smiled at each other.

[a11an]

So there was a lot of stuff written about all of us in Stephen's journal. We all felt guilty for looking when Stephen was away, but we did it anyway. Actually, I didn't feel that badly, but went along with the fakeness.

Kieran in particular was angry because Stephen went on and on about how boring he was after Purcell left. He explained to us that he was just down from everything in the game, and not Joe Purcell. We all got angry at the few things he said about each of us.

Now my thinking was that I didn't want to actually get rid of Stephen yet because him being so disliked is a good reason to actually keep him. Also, I like finding out all his stuff he writes. I was about to suggest this, but Joe G did it first. Once a few people dispersed, he said to Jermaine and I that we should act to Stephen like we wanna work with him since we all think we're merging soon. I silently got really excited, but nodded as though HIS plan made sense.

I ducked out and met up with Britti, and asked for her opinion...

[5:32:55 PM] Allan: We have to get rid of someone in my game. And then after this is merge. You and jermaine are in my allaince (for now) so who should it be?
[5:34:12 PM] Britti : Who is around still?!? Lol
[5:34:58 PM] Allan: Hmm Ricky, Kieran, Joe G, Jared, Stephen, and Adrian
[5:36:11 PM] Britti : hmm kieran?
[5:36:27 PM] Allan: Okay.
[5:36:37 PM] Allan: Yahoo. Kick out the foreigners
[5:36:48 PM] Britti : Lol oops
[5:37:11 PM] Allan: WHatever. You're racist to Australians
[5:37:15 PM] Allan: It's all good
[5:37:37 PM] Britti : I love Aussies just not ones that are too young for me
[5:37:48 PM] Allan: I will have Stephen have written something abou him in the journal. Hahaha. Is Kieran young? I don't even know
[5:38:44 PM] Britti : I think so? Idk lll
[5:38:46 PM] Britti : Lol
[5:39:29 PM] Allan: I need to find a good target photo of him. Bahaha.

EPISODE NINE

[11:08:51 PM] Allan: OMG!! It looks like we are merging right away. We need to form a little trustworthy circle before that happens!
[11:09:16 PM] Stephen: yeah, i'm already terrified of tom over there. he's a force to be reckoned with.
[11:09:25 PM] Stephen: and allan, i have been meaning to ask you about something
[11:09:44 PM] Allan: It wasn't me! I swear it was Joe G who farted in his sleep!
[11:10:19 PM] Stephen: ugh i hate when that happens! it's almost as bad as the times kirin would be walking around and she didn't notice the squirts were running all the way down her leg
[11:10:22 PM] Stephen: it stunk so bad
[11:11:19 PM] Allan: Hahahaa, she was nasty!! Anyway, what is it? You wanted to say something?
[11:12:03 PM] Stephen: yeah... i heard ricky has been going around to people talking about me. britti and jermaine both warned me about him. i think it's because of what happened in the shelter last night. have you heard anything?
[11:12:20 PM] Stephen: i think he's trying to turn everyone against adrian and me
[11:15:05 PM] Stephen: apparently he is calling us "stedrian" and thinks we're a thing. and i'll admit that we have been playing footsie a lot in the shelter at night lately... but that's what caused this. adrian thought he had my leg, but he was getting ricky's leg and it woke him up. adrian said "i thought you were stephen," so now he's all paranoid that we're super dangerous
[11:15:19 PM] Stephen: i just wanted to come clean with you before you heard it from him and assure you that we are solid!
[11:17:03 PM] Allan: Well, Ricjy is Ricky. I do know about the Stedrian thing, and it made me chuckle. OMG that's hilarious about playing footsie. Hahaha. I have heard Ricky say he doesn't trust you because of something you had written about him!? If that makes sense...
[11:17:19 PM] Allan: I am hoping that this tribe can work together after we merge
[11:17:26 PM] Stephen: yeah... well between us, i caught you reading my journal a while ago
[11:17:57 PM] Allan: .......
[11:17:58 PM] Stephen: after that, i knew you would keep doing it so i was writing a bunch of fake stuff. i didn't want you thinking i was a loose cannon once we hit the merge!
[11:19:19 PM] Allan: Well...it wasn't just me, to be honest, but I don't wanna throw them under the bus. Hahaha. At least not yet. I dont know if I feel like a lot of what you said was fake or not...a lot of it seems like it could be real, and I think that's why people are getting paranoid about you.
[11:21:03 PM] Stephen: well, i was mostly writing what i think you wanted to hear. i want to put that past us. i feel bad about being shady. don't say anything, but i found this flask that keeps mysteriously getting filled! it's behind the palm tree over by the rock. i hope that makes it up to you. i'm sure that NO ONE has any idea about it.
[11:21:59 PM] Allan: Oh really?! I had NO idea!! I wonder if it has some hidden meaning? Is it an idol of some sort I wonder...
[11:22:15 PM] Stephen: it may but i don't really give a shit. i have been wasted this whole time!
[11:22:55 PM] Stephen: we better split up before they start getting suspicious. ricky has been staring at us for a while now. he looks pissed. you should talk to adrian too, i promise that we're with you 100%.
[11:24:20 PM] Allan: Well, I am completely loyal to our tribe as a whole. We need to decimate the otehrs once we merge and then regroup to figure out the rest of it all. I am gonna go find Adrian and then go get some food! See ya...
[11:24:29 PM] Stephen: later...


Hmmmm.....

[Adrian]

I am an old man now, so footsie is the only way I know how to flirt. I just threw Stephen's name in there to distract from the fact that I was trying to administer a sweet, sweet Cassanova-style footsie-ing to Britti.

The game is afoot, right? Well, it helps to keep one's foot smooth, sensual and limber in a game like this.

[Jared Merrell]

Goal of the season: Do not give Tom the Glory spot!

[a11an]

We have merged!! I am very excited!! I feel like that means soon there will be a tribal council with more than one person leaving. I am probably just very paranoid though.

Jared has been designated the official 'welcome to our beach' person, since the other tribe is moving over here. We all got food and drinks as a celebration, and with no tree mail it seems we have the first night off.

I chatted with Tom a little, and Zack a little. They were the most significant challenge threats during the competitions, so getting on their good sides is probably going to help my game in the long run.

Stephen is going to write some fake things about me and if someone happens to find it we are going to fake an argument, so no one suspects we might have the same plan in mind. We are up in numbers, so it's not like we even need a plan yet, but things always have a way of not working out smoothly...

Joe G and Britti are sitting with Nax and Lorii, talking about the challenges and life at camp so far. I hope they can get some useful information out of them.

A lot of people are just dancing around the more important points of the merge and letting loose. I can see the fun in that, and may let loose after a while myself. I just know that if I get tipsy I start to talk way too much and flirt with way too many people.

[a11an]

So it's the second day after the merge, and there is a lot of talk with a lot of people.

Lorii is awesome. She and I drank a little together, and I discovered that she was on the outs of her tribe and is willing to work with me. I told her that a few people were on the outs of my tribe and that I was open to possibilities.

Britti joined us and we asked Lorii which member of her tribe she would most like to vote out.

She chose Tom.

I was very surprised. I mean, we all knew he was a challenge threat, but not that much. Britti and I told Lorii that we would totally go along with that, and unless he wins another challenge he will be gone.

After parting ways with Lorii, I chatted a bit with Nax, and I feel like he is the leader of the other tribe. I am surprised that Lorii didn't suggest him first. Maybe there is something to explore there.

The tree mail came and it is an endurance challenge, of course. Something about hanging above water. Terrific. I know I can't win that, but maybe there will be a food reward if I drop out early.

Tom had better fall.

[a11an]

We had to hug a log that hung across a little gorge above the water. It was horizontal, so I was a little happier about that; less worry of getting splinters in our legs.

We dangled and every fifteen minutes we were tempted with treats to let go and make the challenge go faster. Nobody let go after the first fifteen minutes. At the half hour mark Lorii let go for a peanut butter cookie. I was surprised. Does she really feel that safe with Britti and I or was there something else going on?

I dropped at the one hour mark, after already making a show of how my hands were cramping up. The offering was a burger and fries with some iced tea. It sounded like a banquet with me being as hungry as I was.

The winner ended up being Jared, which came out of nowhere, but nobody seemed to be upset by that so it's a good time for him to win. I think people are all more focused on who they do not want to win.

Lorii grabbed Britti and I again, and seemed paranoid about wanting to get Tom out, and we were a little put off this time. Why is she so insistent, when it doesn't even seem like he is in charge at all? The immunity thing? He didn't win today.

Our original tribe has the numbers. I gotta talk to a few more people and see what most people want. I feel like right now is a time to pursue the greater good, and not just what I want. Yet.

[Jared Merrell]

Oh here is your food platter

[a11an]

OMG delicious!!

[a11an]

So Britti and I decided to follow Lorii's suggestion of voting out Tom. We talked to Joe G and Jermaine about it as well as Stephen and Adrian. We figured we were golden.

We were wrong.

Lorii lied to us AND persuaded Jared and Ricky to 'sort-of' flip and even though we were up in numbers, we still lost a member this round. I cannot believe it, although I do have to tip my hat to her and the crew for throwing one over on us.

From here on in it's a struggle...

Oh, and the person we lost? Please hold...

[Jared Merrell]

Lori is a pretty lady but is fully pure of evilness! And a11an I was busy making that food!
