Confessionals by John

[John Rocker]

Whats up my fellow english speakers, John here to keep you up to date with what's going down in the Colombian Rainforest.

First things first, thank god we won that challenge. I put all my homework off till today to do that shit, so thank god we won. And by we, I mean Heidi and I. I looked at the post counts, we did all the work. Kim, Zane and RC had cute showings, so props to them I guess. Sophie was probably too busy fighting for social justice on tumblr and forgot to do the challenge. She sucks, and needs to get a sense of humor. It looks like Jim smoked a little too much of the natural fauna, and instead of doing the challenge, decided to sit on his couch and watch Planet Earth while eating a bowl of flamin' hot cheetos. Cheetos are gross.

And then there's Spencer. He's my little project. If you weren't aware, Spencer is a good friend of mine. And by friend, I don't mean person I've played lots of ORGs with and have developed a good bond with. No. Like I'm at this guys house nearly 5 days out of the week. I just started my first year of film school last fall, and I met him there. We soon discovered our same love for Big Brother, and that pretty much sealed our fate. My roomies kinda suck so I'm always over at his place. I introduced him to ORGs, and he seemed interested. I quit ORGs because it was a time commitment that I just didn't want to have (the aim notification noise is in my top 5 of least favorite sounds) and the last one I was in kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth. But I said hey, if you wanna try an ORG, I will join one with you and show you the ropes. Hence, here we are.

So Spencer is a newbie. Not only that, but he's a newbie with a potato for a computer, so he wasn't able to do the challenge. Good start for my young protege. He's been active on AIM though, so I'm sure he'll be fine. We have some buffer room with Jim gone missing, so he has time to integrate with the tribe and make some connections. As for me, I've only really talked to Heidi, and we hit it off pretty well. She too is a veteran ORGer returning from a leave of absence, so we have that in common. And she's just easy to talk to. That's 90% of how I choose my allies. Tasha I've talked to a bit too, and she's nice and all, but she is boring as fuck to talk to, so I aint making any alliances with her. At least not any that i'll be true to.

Plus she aint white, and you know, that don't fly with John Rocker (Does he discriminate against blacks? I thought it was just like, non-english speakers. Eh.)

TL;DR - Our tribe won because of me and Heidi and my buddy Spencer lives another day

Also it seems that there is a third tribe, consisting of ghost Grant and Hayden Moss. Strange twist, lets see how it plays out.

Hello again english speakers. I'm tired and have a midterm to fail tomorrow morning, so this'll be a brief recap

So we lost the challenge, which I don't really care about. Jim got so high day one that he ascended above the clouds, and we haven't seen him sense, so it's better to just get rid of him now and move on.

Meanwhile, I've been lazy and shitty about talking to people on AIM, so I solidified an alliance with the one person I do talk to: Heidi! I'm excited to be working with her, because from what she is telling me she is loyal to a fault, which is excellent news for me. I'm not sure if I totally believe her on that, but she'll be good to have around for a while. She's a very strong player who will no doubt eventually draw a huge target on her, so I plan to ride that out until I need to cut her, while making sure she isn't trying to cut me.

My real #1 alliance is still with Spencer, which is more of an unspoken alliance. I see that guy almost every day, so we're always going over whats been happening and what people have been saying. Our plan is for nobody to suspect us being super tight. Our biggest obstacle right now is that we don't want to delve to much into our personal lives with other people, because if people find out that we live in the same area and both go to film school and are gone at the same time doing similar things, people might connect the dots. That's why for now, I'm playing this game like I still live in Washington, where i'm a writing major at EVCC, while Spencer can tell the truth about his life and what he's doing. He's new, so I felt obligated to take on the grunt of the lying. I'm so considerate, I know.

So yeah, that's about it. I talked to Zane and he's alright, but Heidi is sketched out by him. He's kissing her ass hardcore, and he only started talking to people after we lost the challenge. Textbook example of someone trying to save their ass (even though nobody was even remotely in danger besides Jim (RIP)). So I think he could easily be the next boot. Me and Heidi need to figure out who else we want to align with. She likes Kim, who seems cool so I'd be down for that, and hopefully she'll suggest pulling in Spencer too. I don't want to have to bring that idea up, but I want to keep my little buddy safe. We'll see what happens.

TL;DR - Don't smoke weed or you'll end up like poor old Jim

Lol Sophie

[John Rocker]

Ok, so I wrote this Sunday night, but as I was about to post it, my internet crapped out on me and I wasn't able to post it. Luckily I was able to save it and now I can post it today, so forgive me if its a little dated. Tonight I'll have a more updated confessional for ya'll

Until then, here's this



So this weekend kinda sucked for me activity wise. Mommy came down to visit so I have been afk pretty much at all times of day, making communication hard in a situation where I really needed to communicate with people.

It all started with the immunity challenge. We lost, which sucks, especially when Boston Robs corpse still lies useless at the other tribes camp. But hey, I'm still here, so I can't complain. What was more interesting though, is that we got the power to steal on of the other tribes players and put em on our tribe. I wasn't able to contribute at all to the discussion, and by the time I got back, Clay had joined our tribe. I'm pretty indifferent about that. I suspect he'll be out soonish if we lose again, even though he's pretty decent at challenges. I just feel that right now our tribe is pretty tight, so it just makes more sense to get rid of Clay.

Speaking of Clay, I know he's in a pretty sticky situation, and I feel bad for the guy (that was a big part of the reason we saved him over RC, since it would be shitty to not even give him a shot). But he is doing a piss poor job trying to integrate with the tribe. He hasn't talked to me at all, according to most of the tribe he hasn't talked to them either, and then when it comes time for our next challenge (reminder, we picked him because he rocks at challenges) he decides to sit out. I'm no master strategist, but that seems like a good way to make yourself very expendable to a tribe that didn't really want you in the first place. D- Clay, see me after class.

But yeah, so we lost, and my original plan was to target Sophie. I talked about it to Spencer and he was on board, but Kim kept throwing out RCs name, saying she was more useless in challenges. I was going to fight it, but then Sophie decided to start talking to me, and to my surprise, we had an awesome conversation. We talked about how we're both playing characters in this game, and that the drama she is creating with me is just for fun. I reluctantly agreed, not sure if what she was saying was true. But as we talked more and more, I began to believe her more and more. Eventually, she brought up the idea of forming an alliance: the two most unlikely people allies. I agreed, of course, and I'm still debating how long I wanna ride it. I think it would be fun to allign with the person who, on the board, I ridicule and poke fun at, so I'll have my eye out on Sophie for the next couple challenges, see how much I can really trust her.

So with Sophie out of the question, it came down to either RC or Clay. We decided on RC, because she sucks at challenges and is kinda awkward to talk to, and she lost her shit. It was glorious, and I wish I couldve been there to fight back and forth with her and Sophie. Sophie murdered her, and it was hilarious. I think I might like this chick after all.

So now the next challenge is here, and I have to do fucking TAR trivia, which I don't think I will do great on, but hopefully I can at least score some points for stepping up, especially when there is someone on the tribe who really needs to step up right now if they wanna save themselves *cough* CLAY *cough*

So I guess that's pretty much it. Be ready for some fireworks on the board these next few challenges, cause Sophie and I plan to play up our feud even more. Mucho Drama Columbiana coming your way, so stay tuned!
