Confessional

[Eliza Orlins]

I am oh so very happy that my BFF Carolina is on my tribe! It's going to be so much fun playing with her again. So last night we were talking and she told me she got an idol as her prize, which I found weird because I did too. I actually wasn't going to tell her at first, but when she told me I felt like I had to. So we got to talking and realized that either we're really lucky or that everyone got an idol as their prize. As much as I'd rather it just be Carolina and I that have them, I'm leaning toward everyone having one which is going to make the game pretty complex.

As for my other tribe members:
- I haven't talked to Jed or Ruth Marie yet, but they seem to be dedicated to the game based off their posting in the challenge so far.
- I haven't seen or heard much from Jenna or Kelly, but Kelly got online after I left last night and she's here now so I think she'll be a dedicated tribe member.
- Shannon messaged me last night but he only replied to me once or twice. I wish he would have gotten on AIM so I could have flirted with him more.
- Boston Rob seemed pretty nice when we were talking, but the conversation quickly stopped when I brought up the challenge. He was online but not posting at all. Slacker. I want him gone.

I also got to talk to Fabio and Grant before the tribes were formed. Fabio is even more boring than Rob, and I found out that I know Grant from previous games. I tried to keep my identity secret, but I have a feeling he knows who I am. We have an interesting relationship to say the least, so I'm glad that we're not on the same tribe. I just hope he gets booted early.

And hopefully we'll win immunity

I don't like Boston Rob. He said "Bravo" to Jed in his thread from the last challenge for getting a time of 6 minutes, but I did the exact same thing as Jed 2 minutes faster... And I don't get any praise from BR for it. He's also impossible to talk to (for me at least) and a liar. Carolina told me that she heard from him that everyone voted for Paloma at the first TC but since Paloma played an idol, the person she voted for (Fran) went. Okay, so that just confirms my belief that everyone has an idol. Well, Rob told Carolina that his prize was an idol that is only good at the first TC he attends, so "obviously" he will be playing it the first time we lose a challenge. I don't think this is true at all, but if he says it's only good for his first trip to TC and doesn't play it we'll all know he was lying. I wanted him gone first, too, so now that won't be able to happen. Maybe we can throw a few votes his way, we'll have to see... I'm just glad Carolina talks to him because I'm sure he'd want me gone as well so if Carolina hears anything of that nature she can just report back to me

[Eliza Orlins]

Ugh I hate Boston Rob. Who the fuck does he think he is, seriously? I said I wasn't good at distorted images, yet he refuses to sit me out. Does he want me to fail?? And then he confirms my first picture, which I already knew because it was obvious. Thanks for nothing, Rob.

[Eliza Orlins]

Sorry I haven't been updating my confessional... Don't have much time but as you might know there was a huge girls alliance on Andes but now that we have merged things will get way more complex because we don't know who has idols from the old Atacama tribe. I'm sure Andes will stick together, but there aren't enough of us to split the vote efficiently assuming the former Atacama members all vote together.... I'm not really sure because I have yet to talk to any of them but it just seems obvious that they would stick together. It would really help our cause if one of them left in this elimination challenge. I'm glad we only had to attend two tribals as Andes because the only two people I really wanted gone from that tribe are gone and I think that now we can work as a tribe since we've merged

[Eliza Orlins]

So Jed left. Did I want this to happen? Yes and no. I knew it would have to have happened at some point, and since Fabio lost the elimination challenge and John won immunity it just forced us Andes members to start playing the game sooner (aka turn on each other sooner.) The plan to split between Jed and Grant was devised by mainly myself and Kelly, with a little bit of Ruth Marie. I pretty much just tell Carolina who to vote, and Jenna actually got on my nerves last night. What we wanted to happen, and what did happen, was for Grant to play his idol and have Jed go... We wanted to put more votes on Jed. Jenna simply could not understand this. She kept asking me why we wanted Grant to play his idol when we wanted him gone. I know Grant, he would not be so stupid to hang onto his idol when he knows he is only one of two people in the minority that could receive votes. Jenna actually got on my nerves to the point that I was ready to vote her ass out instead, but it will have to wait. Plan for next round is to split pretty evenly between John and Grant so hopefully neither of them win immunity. I haven't told anyone this plan yet but we shouldn't put all our votes on Grant just in case John decides to use his idol on Grant... It'd be a risky move but when you're in the minority you have to do risky things like that. I thought this game was going to be way more complicated due to the fact that everyone had an idol, but up until now everything has gone the way I'd hoped... So hopefully it continues

[Eliza Orlins]

This round sucks. I worked all weekend so I didn't have the time to win immunity, and once I got home from work Kelly was so far ahead I would have had to catch every ball but two until the deadline just to tie her so I told her I would let her win because we have an alliance and what would the point of fighting it out be when it really didn't matter which one of us won? We just needed Natalie to lose, because the plan was to split with her and John. Well now I find out from Kelly that Natalie is using her idol... Which is smart of her, cause I wanted to put 4 votes on her... And now that John is getting removed tomorrow it is absolutely pointless to vote him out... So I have been thinking about it a lot today and I think I might play my idol just to be safe. Kelly told me that Jenna thinks I'm bossing and I noticed my karma has gone from 0 to -3 in a day so I wonder who did that... Jenna, you're a dumb ass and the only reason I'm bossy is because I wanna make sure all of our plans go accordingly and you don't fuck them up. And then there's Carolina who doesn't give a shit about this game and doesn't even vote when I tell her to. She does not deserve to last longer than I do in this game and she probably will. I have barely talked to anyone this round and no one's here now either, so if it stays that way in the next hour it's a pretty sure thing that I'm playing my idol. I don't wanna waste it but it's getting down to the wire here and us girls are gonna have to start turning on each other and if Natalie is playing her idol tonight and John is getting removed tomorrow it's stupid to vote for one of them... I can't be the only one to notice this. Fuck, I wanted to make a move with Carolina this round and she wouldn't do it. So fuck it. I'm playing my idol and I'll make sure I will all the challenges I need to in order to make the finals. Pissed off Eliza is not someone you want to mess with... Maybe you'll remember that for next time!

[Eliza Orlins]

So now it's time to deal with the consequences of my "epic" move from last round. Win immunity or go home. I'm happy because this is a challenge I have a good chance of winning, and if the first challenge we had as a merged tribe is any indication it will come down to myself and Ruth. The only bad part about this challenge is that it can get annoying very quickly, and even though I don't wanna do it anymore I know I have to because 9 minutes isn't a winning time. So I'm gonna try this thing one more time from home and if I haven't significantly improved I'm gonna drive to my school and try it there because the computers are so much faster. Call me crazy, but I NEED this win.

[Eliza Orlins]

So I'm at school and my hand is literally about to fall off. I improved my score here like I knew I would, I even tried to improve it to 5 minutes but I just don't think that's gonna happen. So 6 minutes will have to do. I am trying to get the girls to not try as hard at this challenge and let me win, which is why I wanna know what would happen if I do win and all the girls play their idols. I'm thinking we'd go into a revote with everyone vulnerable but me, and if that is the case I'm sure they girls would be all for getting Natalie out since she is such a jury threat now. The thing is, will they trust me enough after what I did last round? I'm not sure. I think Kelly will, and I've already talked to her about letting me win... But it's Ruth Marie I need to worry about. She is my biggest competition in this challenge... Wait, let me rephrase that. My ONLY competition. So if I can beat her (I don't care if she lets me win or not) I can ONCE AGAIN choose who I want gone. I honestly didn't expect this round to go so smoothly, but if I win immunity I think it just might.

Please get back to me ASAP with what would happen if we all end up immune one way or another.

[Eliza Orlins]

Oh I cannot wait for the episode guide to be updated just to see how many episode titles I have because I RUN SHIT and these people are suchhh dumbasses. I mean COME ON don't tell me you still trusted me after I blindsided Jenna like that. And who throws an immunity challenge at Final Five?? I don't care if you have an idol or not especially when you know idols are gonna cancel out. I'm such a bitch in this game and I love it. Although I do worry about facing the jury when it comes down to it. And yes, I already plan on being in the finals kthx. But Carolina is practically going to tell the jury to vote for me, and even though I have completely betrayed what's going to be like over half of the jury when it comes down to it I'm hoping they respect the game I played and throw a vote my way. Even if they don't, this game just proves how much of an amazing player I am. I'm the HBIC and that's the way it should be.

Plan for this round: Make sure Kelly doesn't win immunity. I won't be doing the challenge til tomorrow, but Carolina said she was actually going to try to win this challenge (shocker, I know) and we decided that it would just be hilarious if she did win because she'll come out of nowhere and it would just be hilarious. But if worst comes to worst and Kelly does win we'll just have to vote out Natalie. That will make the last challenge harder though because Kelly is a better competitor than Natalie, but I'm sorry I'm just not willing to stay up all night and post every minute. I'll do it for a bit when I get home from work tomorrow but that's it. So this one's gonna be up to Carolina. I've done my share so far in this game, it's time for her to step it uppp.

[Eliza Orlins]

I should have known that Carolina wasn't going to do shit. I'm very annoyed, almost to the point where I wanna vote her off. But I think I have Kelly beaten at this point, so I'm gonna stick to the plan cause she's way to big of a threat to take to the Final 3. Especially considering that the Final Immunity Challenge will probably be somewhere around Monday or Tuesday and I'm going to be out of town for part of Tuesday and since I can't rely on Carolina for anything I'm going to have to hope and pray that I'll be able to do enough to beat Natalie. Kelly planted a seed of doubt in my head tonight about Natalie, telling me she never wanted to work with me and was going to vote with her this round and that it would be a tie. I really don't buy it and I think it's Kelly's last effort to stay in this game, but if it is true then there is a flaw in my game and I honestly thought I was playing a perfect game. I guess we won't know until the tribal council results come out, but if it is a tie it there could be a problem for me because Carolina would lose in a tiebreaker challenge to Kelly. Which is why I think that this whole plot was created by Kelly to ensure Carolina and I don't vote for her this round because Carolina would have an easier time beating Natalie in a tiebreaker. Who knows what is really going on, like I said we'll find out at tribal, but there were a lot of holes in Kelly's story which leads me to believe it was a bad lie on her part. I think it's pretty safe to say that I've won immunity again at this point, but for some reason I just can't stop posting. I'm actually really proud of myself for going this long but I am pretty tired and need to be up early tomorrow so I do have to stop soon.
