I didn't expect this game to start off with such a hellish, crazy challenge.
Get ready for sleep deprivation!!!
In other news, our tribe is awesome. We ended up with a bunch of really lively, really active people. The other tribes have some people who haven't been online a lot, which is definitely going to be a hindrance in this challenge. I don't like to knock on wood though, so I'm not going to say anything about our challenge prowess going forward. I just hope by the end of this first round, we're still still conscious and cognoscente enough to move on to the second. I like sleep. Sleep is good. I also like eating.
Now..guess who I don't like?
No offense to Eliza. From our conversations, she seems like a really cool person - but in my last game, I learned that if you don't separate the game from "real life" (real life, what is this mystical place and how do I get there?) your emotions are going to get the better of you. Eliza's issue is that she's put herself into a position of authority. She's been really vocal and assertive about preparing for this challenge and I think it's rubbed a few people the wrong way. Dave and I have already talked a little about how she's been a bit micro-managing. She also doesn't seem to like Erik - which puts Dave and I into a really good position. If Eliza fractures the tribe, we could pull in Erik and probably Greg or Sean to vote her out. Alternatively, if we decide to keep Eliza, it wouldn't be hard to turn the others against Erik.
Still, I'd rather boot Eliza. I think she has some close friends on other tribes and I wouldn't want her to get to the merge. From the way Erik's spoken, he seems a little green to Survivor ORGS in general. I'd rather take him forward than somebody, like Eliza, who seems like she's been through this kind of stuff before.
Oh yeah, I'm in an alliance with Dave. We talked about it briefly before the challenge and decided it would be good to have each other's backs, even if we hopefully won't go to Tribal in the near future. I tried to open myself up socially in my tribe and tried to strike up conversations with everyone. I feel all right with Greg, Dave, and Erik. I'm a little shady with Sean (don't entirely trust him, plz,, I'm not a racist, I swear) and Eliza's just rubbing me the wrong way in general. I don't know. I feel like if we did go to Council, there'd probably be a pretty mutual decision to send home Eliza.
Well, here's to a sleepless night tomorrow. Curse you, hosts. Curse you.
