Welcome to the swap! And to the weekend, having a good 2 day break. Try not to take too much time off though, talk to your new tribemates as much as you can. Also, be sure to check out the board tomorrow for further news about the individual immunity challenge that is non-live!

1. Tell us of your first impressions of the new tribe. Who do you hate, who do you like, who do you wish swapped with you, who do you wish didn't swap with you, etc. Give us the lowdown. Do you like this tribe better than the one you were just on, or not? How do you see your position on this new tribe?
2. This past week, there was a game merge followed by a swap after just two rounds, meeting people you've only just met. With the weekend coming around, do you think things will stabilize in time for Sunday?
3. To be blunt, what's your new short term and long term strategy?
4. How did your old tribe do during last challenge? Was there anything you would have done differently?
5. Jeff revealed that on Sunday, you will start to receive new idol clues for your new tribes. Are you going to jump on that opportunity to search for the idol right away, or not? Would you work on it solo, or do you plan to work on it with anyone else? Are you worried of other idols in play currently?
6. How do you feel about Sunday being the final double Tribal Council of the season? Is there anyone on your tribe that you'd be okay with voting out?
7. Have you played Cars 2 on PSP?

I really like my tribe. I am trying my best to get to know all the new people! I do not know why it's been so hard for me to connect with people this game. I think I have been having a low episode since the game started... it's frustrating. I hope things are stabilizing. I am quite nervous that it is me tonight. I am going to try my best to switch the vote. I was so glad we won last immunity because I was high during the counting challenge! I was so nervous on the counting. Lol.

I have been struggling with the idol search. I might try to pair up with someone to tag team this search. Two brains are better than one, hopefully. With this being the final double tribal of the season, I need to survive! It would suck to leave on the VERY last tribal of this kind. This is my make-or-break moment; my Michelle Dougan moment.

Unfortunately, I have not played Cars 2 on PSP. I am currently playing the redux of Volt White 2. So, in terms of games, I love Pokemon. I will geek out over Pokemon with anyone!

Apparently, it is Stephanie. I see. I will try to steer it on her. I mean, I like her and if we could keep her safe, I would appreciate extending my hand to her. If only. Hmmm...

Good taste with Volt White

Thank you! The Redux came out this past week, I think?? I currently have a Snivy and Purrloin. Who wants a Pokemon named after them? Sponsor my team :P I'll send updates.

Also, when Tyler won immunity, I suggested to him to pick Taylor. Not only does he have the excuse of "I will share it with the person who was closest to winning," but it hides our relationship (if he chooses me), it hides the tribal tines (or at least, blurs them, if he chooses Hali/Shirin), and it fosters a cross-tribal alliance bond with Taylor, who, alongside Jessica, is playing a major role in saving me. At least, that is the story with which I have been presented, so I suggested this choice to Tyler to help us.
