So for this round, I essentially am continuing what has been going on here with my fellow tribemates. We all know the deal here, because of what we set up, and I feel confident we're gonna keep it going.
Burton....straight up, is an annoying dude. There really is no other way to describe it. He puts all these weird faces when you're having a conversation to him. And he's one of those lurking ass types. The type where you sign onto AIM, and within ten seconds there is a "Hey Adam!" message from him right on your screen. Honestly, I find that so annoying, and it makes me not want to talk to you at all. I don't know why, but it's a pet peeve to me, to breach social norms like that, and not even have a period to let me get situated. You just friggin RUN up, with your paranoid fears that you are being voted, and try to get information out of me. He doesn't even get that his behavior comes so close to getting him voted out sooner rather than later.
However, at least he talks. And I think he has to know that he is a paranoid mess. Kelly on the other hand is outside of the group of six that has been forged, and furthermore isn't as paranoid. I think she knows she is on the outside, and isn't paranoid about it. At least Burton can just think this tribe is this way or that, or feel like people just get annoyed with him. But I think Burton feels way more entitled to stay, and perhaps will be less likely to flip. It just seems like he should be fine being on the outside of us, and hoping he can wedge his way in with us, rather than running off to another group in where he will just be a more messy paranoid mess. Kelly on the other hand I think just KNOWS what she has to do, and knows she has had long enough to work here way in this tribe, and that it just isn't working. For that reason, she is much more dangerous to me than Burton.
It is sucky that she just didn't get into the dominating group, but that is how survivor works, and she also simply doesn't talk much to me. I have no reason beyond her being a decent challenge player to keep her around, but Burton has a lot of passion in this game himself. It just feels more right to keep him around, even if he bugs the hell out of me. He's kind of like a bratty little kid. Like, yeah, I'd definitely murder him, or at least I want to kill him with my hands. But...he's like a child, so I can't do that. He's innocent and so full of life....he doesn't know any better...That's how I see it at this point.
