Who on Earth would imagine that this week would be such so freaking confusing, stressful and full of strategy? Not me! First, I have to say congratulations to all the hosts, because you had such an amazing cast that even deciding the first person to go home was such a hard task. Pretty much everyone in our tribe, Gnas Ri, is active and sociable. Seriously, I always see one or two inactive per season in a game, but this game has none. Zero! Well, at least in my tribe... The game started with a HUGE opening. Both tribes went to Tribal Council after a individual immunity challenge. It was a pretty simple challenge, but it definately changed a lot of the dynamics of the whol game. People had to just give each other some flowers (very romantic! <3) and whoever had the biggest amount of flowers at the end of the day, won.

I probably had the worst track record in those kind of challenges, because in another game, one similiar challenge (we had to give coconuts instead of flowers) was eliminatory and I, due to my lovely and not-bitchy-at-all behavior, got screwed up and sent home.
Actually, destiny is always playing with me, because I failed at this challenge... Seriously, luck is really not on my side. I got the least amount of flowers for Gnas Ri, only 6 of them, and I got a penalty vote. Seriously, I thought I was completely doomed at that very same second, but things turned out to be very, very different and messed up...

After the results from the first Immunity Challenge were revealed, almost the whole tribe got invited into a group chat and that was 100% the turning point of the whole season for me. That was the moment I just went from being the first boot to being part of a good and solid alliance.
I'm not so sure right now, but I think that Adam, Andrea, Burton, Chase, Kelly and myself were in that chat. And then I started talking to them in that group chat and then individually. I started saying why they should keep me in the game and that was up for anything... Seriously ANYTHING to stay in this game for another week and prove to everyone that I'm worthy of playing this game.
Minutes after we started talking, Burton proposed a vote idea: Getting rid of Julie right away. At first, I said that it was a good idea, but then when I said that to a lot of people (especially Adam, Chase and Andrea), they decided to talk with Julie herself about that.

So, after Julie found out about Burton trying to throw her under the bus, we created another group chat (Yes! This people LOVE to chat! ) to see what the hell we were going to do right now, since Andrea and Chase found out that Kelly, Coach, Burton and Rory were part of the same alliance. I was shocked that even getting that freaking penalty vote, nobody even remembered that I was a possible target. Actually, I was pretty excited. I just love when people create huge targets on the backs and let me float around and stab them in the back, especially when it's someone so cocky like Burton. Since we were very close in terms of numbers (Andrea/Adam/Dolly/Chase/Julie against Kelly/Coach/Burton/Rory), we had to conquer the swing vote (Misty) and we did. That was our biggest advantadge because Misty had the Double Vote.

Hey Dolly, with the first tribal council being so close as it is do you think its possible to unify everyone for the next TC or do you think there'll be a power struggle early on?
Also, do you think your alliance has what it takes to move forward and take control of the tribe?

Then we decided to vote Rory out. I think we all wished that we could vote Burton out, but since he had that freaking individual immunity on his neck, he had to do the next best thing: getting rid of Rory.
I'm really glad that our plan worked and that the I'm part of the majority alliance right now, because I really don't want to struggle for power this early into this competition. I just want to create some strong bonds and make sure that everyone loves me so they can take me to the end with them and never see when I stab them in the back to survive a couple more days.

Nice to finally meet you! ;D I think the power struggle already happened this week, even with one of the sides of the fight never imagining that was happening, but I think things are going to get pretty damn wild in the future because Burton, Kelly and Coach are running to stand still in this game and they're probably gonna do whatever they can to survive. My alliance is pretty strong and I think can definately dominate this whole tribe if we stick together. We have the numbers on our side, so I just hope we don't screw everything up by making some game-changing mistakes.

Hey Dolly! So I think you have potential to make it far in this game, but if you want to make AS, you should try and make your recent confesionals (since there are none) more like this. If you don't want to make AS, then by all means, you don't have to write anything. But it's just some friendly advice to help you get where you probably wanna be. I of course understand if you're busy. Again, just constructive criticism.
