The tribe makes their way towards camp and Ron takes charge in getting everyone where they need to go and makes a point to not chat with anyone
“On the way to camp it definitely felt like everyone wanted to talk about being on Survivor and how awesome it was that we are all together. Truth be told I just wanted to get away from them all. They wouldn’t stop trying to talk to me, I need food so we have work to do”
As the tribe makes it to camp Ron immediately starts getting the tribe to wrok on shelter and whenever anyone tries to give any suggestions Ron interrupts them and tells them he is Ron Swanson and they need to listen to him. He immediately goes back to work, refusing to socialize with anyone
“I already cannot stand Ron, he seems to think he is this hotshot that we all have to listen to. I’ll be happy when we vote his ass out because I definitely want him gone first”
Rachel asks Pitbull and The Pioneer Woman to talk and they end up taking a walk together. On this walk Rachel mentions that she likes them and would like to work with them going forward. They both agree
“On our trek to camp I could tell immediately that Pitbull and Pioneer Woman would be two people I would like to work with and neither are going to be dead weight. Those who think they are gonna float on through to the end will do no such thing”
Juggalo approaches Lisa and immediately start bonding. He asks her if she’d consider working with him. She tells him that would be great and that they need to put together a small group in order to control the game
“Immediately I knew Lisa would be someone I wanted on my side. I think she will be underrated, exactly how I expect to be treated. Hopefully we can use our deal to get to the end together”
On the trek to camp Jake takes charge of the map and ends up getting the tribe lost. Ace immediately starts mocking him and telling him he is a fool.
“My main goal this game is to make people as uncomfortable as I can. Let’s see how far I can go with this strategy because I think I can easily make it to the end”
Once the tribe finally makes it to camp everyone is too exhausted to do much of anything else and they all decide to just relax and lounge about. Ace continues to mock Jake in front of everyone for making them take so long to get to camp.
“I’m already over this Ace guy, he’s a tool. I hope my tribe will back me up in taking him out sooner than later”
The next morning everyone starts working around camp and Ginger is adamant that they all work together to get the shelter put together. The problem is that Ace and Jake start to clash even more about where everything goes and it makes everyone uncomfortable
“Already we have major drama going on and it is all because Jake had to mess up getting us to camp. I get Ace’s frustration with him as he caused us to be so behind in getting to camp that now on day two we don’t even have our camp together at all”
Maleficent approaches Poot and Wendy to discuss the drama with Ace and Jake constantly being at each others throats. Poot mentions being annoyed over the whole situation and feels if they lose immunity at least they’ll have the option of which of the two of them goes first
“It was interesting to hear Poot’s take on the situation with Ace and Jake. I think the whole thing is rather hilarious and could be a great smokescreen to a powerful alliance, if I can get the two of them to play ball”
During the challenge Furby gets wet and stops working properly. After the challenge medical is able to fix him up so he stays in the game.
The tribe returns to camp all excited to win the first immunity challenge.
“This is just what I needed, to be on a tribe that was strong so it gives me enough time to control these people”
Lara and Lisa are talking about the game and how excited to play this game. They both agree to have one anothers back going forward
“I have made two deals already. One with Juggalo and one with Lara. I plan to stay true to Juggalo but Lara needs to go as soon as possible. I fear that she’ll ruin my game the longer she stays in”
The Pioneer Woman recruits Michael, Juggalo, and Rachel to work on getting the fire going and making food and while doing so the four of them get along great and start to bond strongly
“My main strategy this game is to get in good with everyone and figure out where they all stand so I can get myself into the best position”
Pitbull talks with Ron and Lara about working together as he feels the three of them are among the strongest of their tribe. Ron tells them that their only choice to make it far is to stick together because they need one another in order to make sure they aren’t taken out for being too big of threats later on
“I’m not sure who I can trust yet but I am hoping to find one person that I can align with for the majority of the game. Thing is I thought maybe there was a possibility with Lisa but something tells me to be wary of her. Same with Pitbull, and I cannot read how trustworthy Ron will be so I am hesitant to commit to anything with them as of now
The tribe returns to camp and Furby apologizes for his issues during the challenge but promises them they will bounce back going forward
“Tonight we are headed to Tribal Council and I am the main reason that we are going. I hope that I can convince enough people that I deserve to be here over someone like Jake who messed up our tribe on Day one”
Maleficent approaches Jake, Wendy, and Ace. She tells them that if Ace and Jake can get past their differences they have the power to surprise everyone and become a powerful alliance. Jake agrees quickly, and Ace mentions that he’ll go along with it as well after thinking about it for a moment. Maleficent tells them their best bet is to get rid of Furby as he is clearly their weakest member. They all agree to that plan
“After the first couple days I was worried with how I’d get a foothold in this tribe but it seems hitching my wagon to Maleficent might be just what I need to get far in this game.”
Poot, Ginger, and Furby are talking about who they want to vote out. They all agree that the drama between Jake and Ace needs to be broken up. Furby says that he worries the others will try and take him out. Poot starts to tell him that she thinks they can gain the upper hand here due to the drama. Ace joins them in the middle of this conversation and Poot immediately asks him if he’d vote out Jake. He tells her quickly that he absolutely would and cannot wait til he is gone
“I went back and forth over whether I’d want to align with Ace or Jake but I feel like Ace is going to be a cutthroat player and someone I can manipulate a lot better than Jake will be”
Edna approaches Jake and tells him she has no idea what to do at Tribal. He tells her that they need Furby to go cause he is easily the weakest person here.
“Oh Jake darling, he really should be worried about targeting those who are the weakest, as he isn’t necessarily the strongest person here. I do agree taking out Furby is probably the smartest move but I wonder if others will actually follow through with that plan”
~FINAL WORDS~“I knew I’d struggle after I messed up with that map. I’m rooting for the other tribe to destroy my tribe because I don’t want any of them to win”
