Captain's Log

[Rodney]

Burton just voted out of other tribe, waiting for Challenge results. Julie on the disabled list.


Camp is very quiet. I don't like it. I don't have an Erik on this tribe so I have nobody I feel safe bouncing ideas off of. Here is the makeup from my point of view though-

Me, Natalie, and Shirin are hopefully gonna vote together

Parvati and Andrea are gonna vote together

Rob has no loyalties

Colby is with Courtney and Colby is trying to real in everyone to vote out Rob with him. The problem is someone else has to go after that and I'm sure my allies are on his short list.

Natalie and Shirin have not been very active so while Colby (the guy calling the shots) likes me, he probably has a better relationship with Parv and Andrea than he does with Shirin and Nat. I did say I would go with the flow and stick with the bigger alliance in this round so if it means jumping ship from the brain girls I am prepared to do that. They need to save themselves and be a little more active. I like Parv, even though she's pretty weird, she's fun to talk to. Courtney, I have finally gotten the chance to bullshit with a little tonight and she seems a little green and trusting but honest. If Colby is playing me, I don't think she is. They need the numbers and I am willing to provide them. Andrea on the other hand I have tanked like a lead balloon when it comes to conversations. Every time she messages me I'm busy and it doesn't get past pleasantries, kinda awkward and she probably thinks I'm the lamest mofo ever. Gonna have to work on that.

So I'm keeping my options open. Natalie has informed me she already ratted out Colby to Rob. I thought that was a boneheaded move, she should know we need to keep our options open. I should be able to convince my girls to vote out Rob first, I think he is a dead man walking, but after that I really don't know whats going to happen yet. All I can tell you is I plan on staying alive. One more note on that Natalie move, it was concerning that she was willing to throw someone under the bus like that. Makes me think twice about confiding in her...

Lastly, I'm proud to say with Burton's departure I have surpassed my pathetic landmark. Both previous games I have played I was ousted 6th. Not this time. Better, Stronger, faster, smarter. Next step jury.

Deuces!

[Rodney]

Decided against this one. Colby's a little sensitive. Trying my hardest to keep my sarcasm in check

[Rodney]

This game just got interesting. Someone has the mystery idol

My first thought:





PARVATI

[Rodney]

What I want to do:


Unite the brains and brawn to flush the idol. This plan would include me shirin, Natalie, Colby, Courtney, and ROB splitting our vote between either Parvati and Andrea or secretly Parvati and Rob. The problem is how little I trust everyone on this tribe. This is a risky move that could get my torch snuffed real quick, although it could be a signature move if we're thinking way down the line to FTC.

What I should do:


My better judgment tells me to simply alert the girls, see if they know anything, and leave it alone. Hell Xipapi may not even lose a challenge. I've never been able to pull off a big move before. This is the kind of thing that has "stay the fuck out of it" written all over it. I should listen to my conscience... But my mind is racing. We'll see how this plays out.

The game has officially begun.

[Rodney]

Brought it up to Colby, he sounds guilty af

My suspect list includes:
Parvati- seems to be a pro
Colby- active and a veteran of the game
Natalie- good with computers
Shirin- on the board a ton but never on AIM

I'll get to the bottom of this

[Rodney]

Colby, I'm wise to you.
-I'm wise to you trying to align with everyone.
-I'm wise to you pointing out Candice's inactivity in the first challenge as justification to giving her the clue
-I'm wise to you trying to blow the challenge to save your buddies
-and bro, I am wise to you holding that idol

I'm gonna make sure he and I stay friends. Best friends.

[Host Pete]

wooo! love the confessionals, Rodney. <3

keep it up and good luck

[Rodney]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKKKKKK! why didn't I write down the idol password?? It was the same damn one. I was just about to get in. Good news is Courtney is stupid enough to trust me with the information that she has it. Bad news is I'm aligned with someone that naive.

Omg I did all the legwork for that thing and she stumbles upon it cuz I casually mentioned the BB character to her last night. Bout to go inactive I'm so heated


It was the same lyrics?!!! I could die. This hurts




PS just swapped again...

[Rodney]

K now that I've cooled down a bit, time to assess the situation. I landed in a very very good spot. I just received my "Sexbang Gang" membership card in the mail. They are the brawn alliance. It's Alex, Colby, Courtney, and Myself. I'm not just getting played, I am a part of this and they need me. Out of what is left, Angie and Rob are on the outs big time and Andrea is what's left. I got pretty close with Andrea the last day of New Xipapi, she's my girl. If those 3 unite and ask me to join them it'd consider it just because blindsiding an idol out of this game would be nice but I'm not going to initiate it, too risky and I'm in to good of a position. I am set to make a deep run but my path into the finals is much much more foggy at this point. I'm the only non-brawn in my gangbang (whatever) alliance and I'm not gonna be anyone's favorite with the brains now that their all together without me. I'm going to have to really work on relationships now because while I'm not in danger right now, I will be once it's only my allies left. For now though things couldn't be better!

[Rodney]

Here's my long term plan (signature move included)

Gonna depend on circumstances but hopefully the brains can flush that idol. I relayed to Shirin before the swap that I think Parvati has it. Really don't know but its my best guess. Once we merge hopefully the alliance that includes most of the brains will be bigger. I will tell the brawns that I'm going to get the brains to vote Courtney so we can idol out a brain and make the alliances equal in size. In reality this will flush her idol and we can get rid of Colby who may or may not have the other idol. I then slip back into the brain alliances and use my connections with Erik, Shirin, and Nat to get myself into the finals. For now though I am biding my time.

[Rodney]

I love Andrea, she's a total sweetheart. I trust her and she trusts me. Probably more than anyone in the game. We have been talking all night again and got close on a personal level. I really want to find a way to work with her but right now all we can do is wait til the merge, if Rob and Angie go and we get another TC then it's gonna be her because I'm not going to let it be me. Hope I can keep her around. An ally like this is worth saving.

Also doing my best to strengthen my relationship with Courtney. She's a total geek and I love it. We've bonded over Spongebob references so I instantly like her. I dubbed her Pinhead Larry (because I want to be Dirty Dan) hopefully I can pull her away from the brawns and closer to me as a bugout plan

[Host Julie]

Good read

[Rodney]

Y'all got the sense of humor of a middle school prepubescent boy with these episode titles. I been here for 2 weeks and got nothing AND it's my Birthday, yo! 

[Rodney]

Uhg I hope Courtney believes me. If I'm getting played by this band geek I'm gonna be butthurt

[Rodney]

We just merged!


So, pretty sure I have a #1 from each original tribe. Erik and Andrea are in the tank for me and I think Colby is genuine when he says he wants to go all the way with me (Not sure yet on that one)

I am in a very good position right now. The only thing in my way is Courtney's idol (which I will handle but not just yet) and this damn auction. I knew this thing would come and it's gonna throw a major wrench in things. Some bullshit vote reversal or redo button is gonna fuck me hard.

So The Sex bang alliance has joined forces with the Brains. We are hopefully at peace for now. We'll try to take out a few beauties before we make any serous moves. I'd like to see Parvati out of here but of course Erik has a problem with that. She's obviously a huge challenge / social threat and she needs dealt with. I am fine settling with Mike for now.

Some juicy occurrences have already begun. This gangsexbang alliance is already scheming hard and they planned out our whole finish down to final 4 then Colby started talking with me privately about after that. Erik comes to me and tells me Alex informed him off all this and our (me and Colby's) plan on when we will be getting rid of Erik. Luckily Erik knows better. He is completely aware of my mole status in this gangbang alliance. So moral of the story is Alex is not to be trusted. He's already becoming a liability to my infiltration.

Alex,
Use your head or I'll take it off your shoulders.
