Episode # 2 - Reading while on the Sake!

[Ju1ce]

Defend him if you want, Jared. We know he's your boy!


I have a few questions about Sassy though... I read this and I was just like wtf?

I know the mind of the average girl and how they think and I want to push that on Debbie and have her feel like she needs me in this game. I know that girls can become very territorial, and catty, and bitches. "If you're not with me you're against me and I will do anything in my power to get you out of this game" or the "I want to be the only girl getting all the attention from all the boys" attitude and then sooner or later you realize that you're the only girl and become the easiest target in the game. I don't want a repeat of Mexico. That being said I know that I've worked Debbie up to be a little scared of Ginny and Nicole, but Ginny being predictable and running her mouth about not working with people who are friends with Emily, basically confirms she will be falling into that category alongside Nicole (which again is unfortunate cuz I do think prior to the game I wanted to work with her). You kind of start to become like the person you are close to in the game, I did it with Jacob, I know this. Anyways so my goal is to have Debbie not want to get rid of me under any circumstances and have her feel like she needs me because we have "bonded" very well and hope that it will at least get me to merge and have my name clear from any tribal councils with this tribe since I know we are not the strongest at challenges.

So is she saying that she doesn't want Debbie to be catty or territorial Or even wanting all the attention from the boys? But Debbie is 52! I'm pretty sure she is well passed those immature stages lol This kind of makes me think Sassy doesn't really know what she's talking about. I don't agree with what she said about becoming like the person you're close with either. Sure you have your own bond and maybe think alike but if she's saying you act like that person, then that's just stupid. She also put quotations around bonded. So that kind of tells me she's being fake as fuck. Maybe I'm reading into it the wrong way. But all of those thoughts seem very erratic to me. What say you guys?

Who's Emily?

[Sandy]

I say she might still be sleep deprived from the last challenge but I agree. Sassy is like me, sorta immature and young-minded for a 27/28/29 year old and the whole Debbie boy attention thing made me laugh. Maybe strategic attention? And I sorta see Sassy having this personality of like picking up personality traits of friends and people she hangs around with alot, maybe? Like if someone loves to wear pink, she loooove to wear pink. If they don't eat carbs, she is so not eating carbs. If Debbie acts like a 52 year old, maybe Sassy is gonna turn into a 52 year old?

Oh and lol bye Jose.

[Ju1ce]

No clue who Emily is.

Billy

I would LOVE to blindside Jose.

Awww shiiiit.

[Ju1ce]

Sandy

Billy gets the herb for Yuubu!

He would.

[Jared Merrell]

Nah, Vart is on his own.

[Jared Merrell]

Daniel trying to win a record with the longest video ever at 77 minutes? He must love this game enough to talk about it for that long!

[Ju1ce]

77 minutes?? Sorry but TL;DW. I really wish he'd summarize his convos too. It's easier to c/p for sure but dang, ain't nobody got time to read all that!

[Jared Merrell]

I'm just trying to read the dam paragraphs, the convo chats are getting boring to read....

[Deleted]

Loving that Yuubu is getting ripped apart, my boy Billy loves Tribal Councils

[alex]

Even though Jose made one of the biggest blunders in the game so far, him leaving before Jamie would be an insult to the game. Would it be a consequence of his sloppy gameplay? Absolutely, but I adore the kid AND him going over people who truly have no time for the game [like Jamie, or Sherri] and super dull people [Dud/Aaron] and even people who never update us with their journal [GINNY] would be tragic. So I pray that even if Yuubu loses [most likely] he will find some saving grace because Gabe and Jose leaving back to back would be tragic as they are two of the most enthusiastic people in the game.

Also, wtf is Daniel talking about cutting his relationships with Jeffrey/Jose because it looks like purple and pink are against teal and blue? Um... what kind of shitty strategy is that? You can still end in a tribe with purple and pink you moron! God, he is RUSHING and needs to take a step back and think of the future of the game [because lets be real, no way he won't make it to that stage with the two most boring players of the game stuck on his tribe as easy boots].

[Ju1ce]

lols Dudds. It's official, that's his nickname. Credit to Alex!


I thought that was rather stupid of Daniel too.

Daniel doesn't know how to slow down.... that's going to bite him hard before he realizes it. No wonder the Alaskan weather makes people go crazy!

#YuubuThoughts

I think Jose leaving would be justified, unfortunately. Jamie won the game before and is known to be a sweetheart and she knows that and is downplaying her game and even though I do think Jose has more spirit than her currently, Jose played pretty sloppy in the first round and into this round. Contemplating voting out Billy, senselessly throwing Craig under the bus, and forcing Samantha to be the "bad guy" by saying he would keep Matt if she did, he didn't set himself up well. Furthermore, he is unaware of the Dog Pac that compares notes to find out he only tells people what they want to hear, which I don't think is intention - I legitimately think it's just because Jose is such a nice guy. But Jose played sloppy, and Jamie played under the radar enough to not be seen. If he goes before her, it'll be justified. However, I'm hoping they keep him around for challenge prowess, since I think he would be stronger.

… then again, his flag doe….

Also on the subject of Daniel and his 77 minute video- what they flying shit? lol I hope there's a summary or something. I remember when I did video confessionals, I tried to provide a summary or a rubric so my viewer can skip/read along/whatever. I hate how watching videos commands so much attention, yet reading it's easy to multi-task. But 77 minutes? Shit, I could go to the movie theater in that time.

AHMAHGAWD FINALLY. I've been preoccupied with the first week of the semester that I've not had a chance to look at the confessionals. So, for whatever reason, I picked 4 in the morning when I'm exhausted to do so. I guess some minor thoughts...

Jose: I feel bad because I truly want to root for him, given that he was my #1 supporter (I think) during Bali. But it's just... impossible. He's doing really poorly. I won't be surprised if they do vote him out over Jamie, who seems to be contributing less, but at least she is temporarily useful to the Dog Pac (unless she meets up with Vartevar down the line, which it doesn't seem likely).

Craig: Having actually seen his video confessional for this episode (I didn't see his first one), I now think he is the second most entertaining member of the Dog Pac. Although I sorta laughed at him thinking he has as much control as he does? He doesn't seem that aware of Sami's and Billy's relationship...

Sami: I might have missed it but it doesn't really seem like she's on anyone's radar in a negative way. I see mostly positive things about her. Love.

Dylan: I want him to step it up with confessionals. While I do enjoy his one-liners, I would like some more extensive thoughts from him. I don't know if it's because he wants to make every confessional fancy and therefore he can't be arsed or what, but I want moar.

Eric: Lolfail.

Sheri: Major disappointment. Especially with that screen cap.

Daniel: He has the most excruciatingly dense confessional. I get that he's in Alaska and there can't be much to do there other than look at Russia and go whale hunting and date the indigenous population, but my God, slow it down and trim the fucking fat. His conversations with Dylan are so boring.

Vartevar: I see both sides of what Alex and Juice have said on his confessional. I guess it's nice that he's being vulnerable, but attributing it to his race was kinda off-putting... although it may also have been a joke. Who knows.

Debbie: Her confessional is disappointingly bland. She has so much personality, and she needs to show it (her video confessionals she tried to post last round never worked for me, I don't know about anyone else).

Aaron and Dodds: Boring. I can't imagine how uninteresting whoever the other potential castaways were that you didn't pick for this season.

THAT IS ALL.
