Meditations 3: Aqua in Action

[Phillip Sheppard]

New tribes! I was figuring they may happen soon.

Aqua

Ashley, Blake, Holly, Lisa, Matthew, Phillip, Shambo

I've spoken to everyone on my tribe at least a little bit pre-merge but I think I have the most intiment connections with Shambo, Holly and Lisa and hopefully we can form an alliance and have control of the tribe. Regardless, it seems pretty clear that Matthew is almost guranteed to be the first person to leave the tribe. He has formed few connections and is totally inactive and will be an easy stress free vote for us if we ever had to go. After that, it could turn into mayhem. Holly mentioned to me how Ashley and Stephanie are hosting the Russian Roulette game, and that may be a reason to get her out. Blake is also not extremely active. So I think I am in a pretty good position on this tribe as long as keep social and active I am sure I am making the merge

Oh Fuck a Monkey!!!!!..... we really blew this challenge. I don't feel like any one person is to blame as everyone us didn't notice that important instruction which caused us to lose the challenge. Its a bummer but it happens sometimes. So now we lose our safety net, our get out of jail free card, which is Matt. Not the end of the world, we are not losing any strength in our tribe, although now the other tribe earns the advantage of being able to sit one member out.

Intel has been coming in regarding some of the players in this game. Lets take a close analysis.


Regarding Ashley and Holly

perfectlyparvati: Ashley asked me to play too
CrazyAssPhillip: me 2
perfectlyparvati: she asked me tonight
perfectlyparvati: so thats no bigggeeee
perfectlyparvati: whats her sn
CrazyAssPhillip: vhauserman
perfectlyparvati: soopadelishes
perfectlyparvati: OH
perfectlyparvati: OMG
perfectlyparvati: thats right
perfectlyparvati: shit
CrazyAssPhillip: lol whys that?!
perfectlyparvati: YES she and Holly are tight
perfectlyparvati: she is also in Hollys game
perfectlyparvati: and she is F5
CrazyAssPhillip: OOOOOOOOO ahhhhhh!!!!!
CrazyAssPhillip: good to know!
perfectlyparvati: they arefriends for sure
perfectlyparvati: I remember because one time I filled in to help her host a VETO
perfectlyparvati: and I remember that sn
perfectlyparvati: I was in a Bb game with holly
CrazyAssPhillip: this game keeps getting more and more interesting all the time!!

Also.. Stephanie and Ashley host a game together and are definitely going to work together. Add in the fact Stephen says Holly is the other person besides myself and Shambo he talks to the most and something I heard from Dave that Stephen and Stephanie are tight... there is almost certainly a 4 person cross tribal alliance. Do I join it... I mean afterall Stephen seems to like me and Shambo... or do i break it apart? Thats a question which will require more meditation.

I broke skull 59 and found nothing inside and Parvati cracked the passcode and found the Idol was already taken. Either Ashley or Shambo possess the idol, which is good to know at least we have that information.

This TC is easy, Matthew is cooked. After that all hell breaks loose

Continuing from yesterday. I have a Final 2 deal made with Parvati, we made it while we were on Devil's Island. Out of all the people in the game she is the person I trust the most and connect to the best. I am sure after being picked to go to DI with her that there will be a target on us at the merge for being in an apparent alliance, but I sincerely hope to be able to work with her if we both can make it.

I am skeptical of working with Ashley:Holly:Stephen:Stephanie in this game. I am sure I could get to the jury with them, but not the end of the game. I may need to work with Holly and Ashley on my tribe though simply for the sake of survival at the time being. Part of this is because I can't be sure who else is involved in that 4 person alliance and I don't want to end up shooting myself in the foot.

However my FBI inutuition and some intel from Holly gave me some clues. Holly wanted an alliance with Me, Shambo and Ashley. Lisa and Blake were not included. Shambo will go with whatever with me, and she likes Lisa better than Holly. I also trust Lisa more... Holly is player you can definitely tell. So the next vote after Matthew could be very interesting, it is not set in stone. Lisa and Blake I think are free agents on our tribe who can be scooped up at any moment, especially Blake since he must feel on the outside, he is the least active under Matthew. Our next Tribal Council could be a time to make a big power play in this game
