I'm feeling better at least...
1. Tonight's challenge was a ranking-based one. Were you shocked or surprised at where the averages were? How do you feel about your place on the overall social ranking, do you agree with it? How about your reaction for the other tribe's ranking?
No, I wasn't shocked or surprised. I knew Dom was up top, so was Jacob. Dom's ego had to be constantly stroked. I also voted him number one. I'm fine with where I was at 5, a little below average. I know my place, and I know the game I'm playing. I'm not useless but I'm not a star and I'm totally fucking fine with that. Can I just say I also didn't do terrible with my guesses for how the tribe guessed lol. I was the closest. Which also tells me something, that I have an idea who sits where socially in our tribe which make me feel better like ok... at least I do have a general idea what's going on, lol.
2. What is the best moment of your game so far? Whether it be a move, a strategy, a bond, etc.
The best moment in my game so far was the night of the prisoners dilemma individual immunity challenge. I slayed. I got individual immunity and was able to pull off a pretty sick blindside on the Kam 4. That night gave me goosebumps.
3. Most people look at 3 main pillars for Survivor: Strategic, Physical, and Social game. As of right now, which one is your strongest and which one is your weakest, and why?
I have no idea. I am always thinking strategically but I am getting better at making social bonds now... I can't tell honestly. I feel like they are intertwined. I'm also socially awkward in general so me bringing up strategy talks is difficult sometimes, but I think I'm getting better? Idk sometimes I'm so awkward I can't tell.
4. Who has overstayed their welcome the most in this game? Who do you think went home too early?
Whoever got out Hali is overstaying their welcome. Hali went home too early. I feel like a broken record.
Anyway, I need to figure out who did it and get on that ASAP. Pretty sure it's a merge tomorrow night, not a swap. Otherwise it's five swaps which seems like a lot to me.
5. How does tonight's boot affect you and your game going forward?
I needed Dom out because he was talking too much about the idol. With him gone, the idol conspiracy theories are gone and people stop talking about it. It's out. He's out. Big weight off my shoulder and I can focus back on my game and making better bonds with people.
Random thoughts...
Last night was rough and today was hard too but I think I'm feeling better. I liked seeing Hali in tribal tonight, at least I know she's watching. I wish we could still play together. I tried to find the youtube video of the confessional where Natalie talks about avenging Jeremy after he gets blindsided and that's how I feel now. I'm glad I was able to pull off this move tonight.
Oh and I was also going to mention that Genie mentioned she told Rachel about the Dom vote and she told Rachel to keep it between them; however, literally like seconds before tribal Rachel messaged me that Genie told her about the vote... so okay (1) that's good because I didn't have to spill the beans in case the plan goes sour (idk that it would 2 seconds before tribal anyway lol); and (2) because I know because of what Genie said that Rachel trusts me. So I know I have to be up there with Rachel somehow. I've been working on talking to her since we swapped, so at least I know I'm doing something right.
But yeah, idk that's it. I'm sure I'll have an emotional rant soon. Something's bound to flip again.
