Episode One

So, first of all, let me apologize for being inactive in my confessional. I have been at a work conference since the beginning of the game, and will be here until Wednesday. So in all honesty, it was a miracle that I made it to the challenge.

As far as I know, things have been pretty quiet around camp. Now, granted, my judgement is probably severely misguided at this point since I haven't been around too much. At the beginning of the game, Malcolm instantly suggested that we work together. He also said that he really likes Ian and thinks that we should get a foursome with him and either Silas or RC (whoever we like more) to control the votes. I, personally, thought Malcolm was coming on a bit strong. But, hell, if he wants to take the reigns and be the power player right now, then I'll let him have it. He just better watch his back in the future because it's All-Stars and I am ONLY looking out for myself this game. He can be the big bad leader over here on Escambia, and I'll take a back seat until I need to put a knife in his back. Malcolm also told me that he's been warned not to trust Heidi and that Jamie and Ian don't get along. Well, I obviously am well aware of Jamie and Ian's relationship (shout out to Ghandia). I am also well aware that Jamie is a narcissistic asshole in these games, and Ian is a bumbling buffoon who goes to the F4 with an alliance of 3 who have been working together since Day One. So, Malcolm's original plan was to target Jamie right off the bat.

Fortunately for us, Jamie is also the reason we lost the challenge. I mean, I know life gets in the way, but I'm working my ass off at a professional conference trying to get a damn job and I hopped online for an hour to help with this challenge. Sheesh. So, if all goes to plan, Jamie should be an easy first boot. The ONLY thing that truly concerns me is that I haven't been able to chat on AIM much with anyone. Therefore, I have no idea where anyone's head is at besides Malcolm's. I would like to think that they see that Jamie is useless and Ian spills all the beans about his performance in Gobi, but I can never be too sure. Unfortunately, that means that I don't feel safe at all this first vote. I think it could easily be me going home, but I'm going to fight my ass off to make sure it isn't.

Well, apparently a lot has happened while I went to go kiss ass at this conference. RC has brought my name up since she hasn't talked to me, which is completely fair, so I can't blame her at all. But I will come back to cut her eventually. My boy Malcolm has had my back though, and so has Heidi (?) and I think they've turned the vote around to Silas since we don't want him and Ethan working together when Ethan joins our tribe. They both told me the same story, so I think they're telling the truth. And Jamie told me that it was either going to be Jamie or Silas, so I'm feeling slightly more comfortable that they aren't voting for me, though I could be completely fooled. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ian apparently knows I was Ghandia in Gobi, so I need to come clean with him before he tells me he knows to try to gain some of his trust. He doesn't really have any reason to hate me from Gobi besides the fact that was stupid and went to the Final 4 with the Pearl Thailands, but it's whatever. So, for now, I'll be voting for Silas and hoping for the best. Honestly, having Silas go first is no sweat off my back. This is also PERFECT for me, because I'm starting this game out as a non-threat. If I come out of this vote alive, I think I've put myself in a good spot. Nobody's going to view me as a threat, and I have my boy Malcolm making himself out to be a huge social threat but still having my back. here's to hoping all goes according to plan.
