So it's safe to say everyone was blindsided by the swap. Two challenges in and we're already getting mixed up. At first glance, it looked like I really got the shaft, being separated not only form my 2 allies and 3 tribemates, but from the 7 other people in this mega-alliance (Arsenio 4, Penner Alexis and Malcolm, and Mike) that Greg has been proposing. My only real friend of any sort is Stephanie, who I've bonded with a bit and trust, and Lindsey, who i spoke to once but for whatever reason, picked me with one of her first picks according to Sean. So perhaps, instead of being an easy target, I'm the guy who's the most non-threatening person in the game, the lone member from the most short-handed original tribe on this new tribe. I could very well be used as a swing vote between the leno and letterman factions. Or it could be nowhere near that simple and Leno may want to rip each other apart, i have no idea.
So we won immunity which was nice. Now we all have a chance to catch our breath and get our feet under us. The first person i went to was Steph, who i have wanted to work with since pre-game. I straight-up told her that I wanted to vote with her all the way through the merge, whether that was with the other lenos or with danielle and dolly. She agreed to that, and while i can't be sure i can trust her, its looking like a good thing.
Since the swap, danielle and dolly have both approached me, while LJ and Fairplay have not. i was thinking i would just side with the lenos and take out those two and save my own skin, but dolly came to me with a 4-5 person plan of me, her, danielle, steph and maybe lindsey. So I told her I'm definitely down with that plan, and I honestly am. Fairplay and LJ both make me a little nervous. Steph said she was leaning in that direction, too, so I may be set for a while.
Meanwhile, I need to make sure things are still good with my boys Sean and Dave. Ami should be the easy vote tonight, barring an idol play, but after that, when malcolm gets back in the game, the next time they go to tribal will be crazy. I'm actually glad I'm not in that mess. We'll see what happens.
