Hey hey, what do you know, I'm actually back from Exile empty handed this time. It's a bit of a disappointment after the previous time and after having three clues there to work from. Like, I think the password has to be somewhere on this board, but I don't really know where the heck it was or what it would be. Oh well, I came back and found awesome news. We're swapped! I now have some sort of new life in this game and can possibly get myself in a good position. Yeah, I'm on a tribe with Naonka who had me blocked from like day 1 of the game before anybody even talked to anybody, but it doesn't matter. After all, apparently Naonka's been inactive and wanting to go and stuff like that, so it might not be as bad as I thought. Add in that being down 3-4 isn't anywhere near as bad as being down 2-5.
There's even a bunch of new developments that went down since we got swapped too. Supposedly Candice is feeling all worried about her place in her tribe (as she probably should since I'd be willing to bet that the former Singregla, however it's spelled, tribe members probably overall don't like her because of what she did to Coach. I'd imagine that the merge is coming up pretty soon, but what seems to be the real question is whether the merge happens at 12 or whether it happens at 10. Personally, I'd rather these next couple of rounds be single boots and we merge at 12 because with the whole Exile Island system and the way the numbers on the tribe are, it's gonna be really tough to get by if we have to vote out two people from here at any time. If we lose, the first one could most likely be Naonka and in a single elimination round that could buy us some time. In a double elimination round though? Yeah...that second vote stirs up a hell of a lot of trouble.
Oh, of course I still have my Idol if I get into trouble but I'd REALLY rather save it until post-merge if I can at all help it, especially since nobody really knows that I have it. I'd much rather we win the next challenge and get to not be the tribe that gets ultimately affected by people going to Exile Island. That, and I just want to win a freaking Immunity Challenge because it's really overdue at this point. Also, I've pretty much come to realize that as things are, the chances of the 5 remaining Midori members becoming the final 5 is pretty much slim to none as Candice seems to very much be doing her own thing with inroads to the other tribe in the form of Corinne and Ken, and Joel seems like he might well be voted out the first chance the other tribe would get. Oh, and not to mention I really don't trust Candice. I may have had an alliance with Joel on the original tribe, but I'm not going to let my head get chopped off trying to work things over there. I need to convince my new tribe mates that not only am I not a threat to them, but that Russell and Greg aren't either. Of course, Russell says he heard some stuff, but right now I just have to keep my eyes and ears open...and win that next Immunity Challenge just in case.
