Confessionals

[Natalie White]

So the first round is underway and the twist off the bat is a "first impressions" vote.  Sandra is giving an interesting first impression.  She is the first reality show contestant to...well not exist.  I need to see the credentials, possibly a birth certificate, because the bitch just isn't on this planet it seems.  So the first "vote" should be easy, but I highly doubt the person with the most votes is actually leaving.  She'll get an advantage but since she's been MIA it shouldn't matter.

[Natalie White]

So the first challenge is underway and these no life LOSERS target me of all people?! I now have these people's number and WILL be getting my revenge. No one is going to punch me without getting spit in their face. Seriously, I understand them attacking Rodney, he is literally online 24/7 but I actually am not on every waking minute so I'm just a little confused as to why they're targeting me.

[Natalie White]

Well it's official. I'm the FIRST out of the challenge. I'm on the side lines spilling truth tea though, only 1 tribe wins immunity and they're ganging up on us, not really the best strategy in my personal opinion. Regardless of that, I have decided to align with Rodney seeing as he's the most active and I think getting in with him now is in my best interest.

[Natalie White]

Also Sierra was the first out of this challenge and she won. History will repeat itself.

[Natalie White]

Alright so the first vote is...well rather easy. The ghost of Sandra has not resurrected from the dead, and I don't think it ever will. Even if it does, unless Jesus himself descends from the heavens and personally hands Sandra an idol, she is damn well going home. I wish I could elaborate on my alliance with Rodney but it hasn't advanced anywhere beyond me saying that me, him, and Erik should team up, but we haven't sat down and had a talk yet. Instead Rodney's telling me to invest in a pizza stone. Forget my bills, student loans, and paying off my credit cards, I should just invest in a pizza stone because it makes the crusts "unreal".

All joking aside, Rodney and Erik are both pretty nice guys and I hope that soon we can strike up a deal. The only thing that concerns me is getting split up if there's a tribal swap. It's probably too early to think about that, but I am going to get annoyed if I spend my time striking an alliance that I actually care about and put effort into, only to be split up from them. Knowing my luck I'll get put on a tribe with the bimbos that targeted me in the first challenge. I don't care if it's petty, I'm still pissed that I was the first damn target!

Round 2

[Natalie White]

So we are in the middle of the challenge right now, I have yet to do my part but I've been elected to do the word search portion of the challenge. I really, really, really wanted to do the puzzle but Shirin INSISTED on doing it. Like I was willing to talk about it but Shirin was basically like "nah I'm doing it". So if she bombs it I'm going to be absolutely livid. I'm contempt with doing the word search, I'm fairly decent at them, but word searches give me vertigo with all the damn letters.

Shirin told me that she's going to do the puzzle in 11 minutes, so hopefully she can pull it off.

[Natalie White]

Okay so the word search was a complete and utter failure on my part. I said I could do 14 and got 8. That's more than half right? I mean I tried my hardest, and that wasn't my first pick for the challenge so they better not target me because of it.

[Natalie White]

Well I approached Erik to be in an alliance with me and Rodney. Rodney's kind of a pussy right now and was nervous to talk to him, so I just jumped in and did it. I don't like being so aggressive but I am not getting voted off because I didn't make moves soon enough. I didn't tell Erik that both me and Rodney wanted to work with him, I wanted to ease him into the idea of me and him working together first. The conversation didn't go as I had hoped. I told Erik I wanted to work with him and his response was "Cool, we'll talk later" (that's paraphrased of course but whatever).

So now I'm a little nervous that I basically let my ass show and Erik didn't seem as receptive as I had hoped.

[Natalie White]

Well we lost the challenge again, which SUCKS. Off the bat I'm planting seeds to get rid of Ken. The past few days I've been feeling people out and they all mention that Ken doesn't really talk to them, and he doesn't talk to me either. So instead of pussyfooting around, I threw his name out there and no one has dejected this yet. If he comes around and tries to talk to me, I might reconsider targeting him, but with very few people on the tribe, and with everyone talking to me, I don't want to target anyone that talks to me.

[Natalie White]

So my plan to target Ken is kind of on the right path. Both Shirin and Ciera are 100% on board with voting him off, and Erik is leaning towards voting for him as well. Rodney's still being kind of iffy on the topic which leads me to believe that he has some side deal with him, which ain't gonna fly. The only other option at this point is to vote off Ciera and me and her have promised to watch each other's backs, so I would prefer to not vote her off, but my main alliance with Rodney and Erik is my main goal as of now. I promised both of them my word first, and I feel like I should invest into that group the entire game because I feel like they could potentially be bigger targets than me. That could be wrong if we're judging based off the first challenge, but I feel like Rodney will be a pretty big target.

The alliance name that Erik came up with for us is "Three Corners". Rodney being from the north, Natalie being from the south, and Erik being from Bumblefuck middle America. It's actually really lame, but oh well, I'll stick with it.

I'm pretty proud of myself for being so aggressive on this first vote. No one wanted to throw out names but I took a risk and it looks like Ken is going home because of me spearheading it.

Round 3

[Natalie White]

So last round went rather well. Unfortunately we lost, but Ken left as planned. I spearheaded the entire thing and I'm proud that it not only went through, but I wasn't targeted at all. My alliance is going well, BUT I do not want to lose again. I really don't have any reasons to vote anyone off and I know Ciera will be the next target and I have a secret deal with her that I don't want to break.

As for the challenge I've taken the reign to do the actual photoshop for the album cover. I'm pretty comfortable with doing it and came up with an idea that I think is fun and creative. I don't think taking a serious route is a good idea this challenge, if I were a judge I would 100% be looking for the cover that makes me laugh the most.

[Natalie White]

Well the challenge is underway and I'm pretty damn proud of myself for what I contributed to the challenge. My photoshop skills aren't master level or anything but I think I put forth a great cover that's funny and has a shit ton of details that will keep people's attention as they look around it and see more ridiculous things scattered throughout it. It may be a bit too busy, but it's supposed to be a parody hip hop album so that doesn't really concern me. Too much is better than too little. I just hope the track listing and our concept are fun enough to get us the win because, as I've stated, I do NOT want to have to vote someone else off.

[Natalie White]

So the final product is finished! My album cover is good and I'm proud of the work I put into it. The track listing...kinda sucks. The concept it...interesting, but I just feel it could be a lot funnier so I am a bit worried. Everyone on the tribe tried their best, but I'm worried the judges just won't find it funny or engaging.
