Ok, so let's start this game off. So IDK who this mystery co-host is and I'm hoping it's not the same one as I've had before, because well, I've played a previous game as someone else and they didn't like me all that much. Hopefully I fair better in The Amazon as I did last time. That being said. It's still really early in the game so I'm not quite sure how things are going just yet. I do know that we have a lot of really active people on our tribe so that can definitely be a benefit, however it can also be a bad thing for me since I know I'm really busy and I work a lot and I'm afraid my tribe is going to find me weak because I'm not as social as I normally could be. The only thing I know for sure, I'm determined to not get sick this time. I learned from my first time in The Amazon that dehydration is extremely likely so you'll see me with a canteen every second of the day out here.

YES! We won the first challenge, seems like history is repeating itself here in the Amazon!
I do notice that some of those guys are pretty cute, I hope that I make it to the merge so I can get to know them a little better...

oops, I forgot to write a confessional last round so let's catch up a bit. So we lost the second challenge. I had to sit out unfortunately because I wasn't sure how much i'd be able to do while I was working but I regret that decision since 2 of our girls decided to flake out on us.
I did create an alliance though. I have myself/Jenna/Joanna/Jeanne/Heidi right now all working together. We may not have all voted the same at tribal, but we're in agreement that we are going to stick together until the merge at least. I feel bad for Deena, but she didn't prove herself in the first challenge or second so unfortunately she's on the bottom.
Now, for this third challenge. Sundays are the worst for me, long ass days at work and I felt horrible that I couldn't participate but fortunately, my girls kicked ass and were able to hold their own. We seem to be doing great so far so I don't see how we can continue to lose. These boys are going to see how easy it is for girls to win in the Amazon ;-)

So, I officially have a F2 with Jenna. I think that it'll be a great match since right now I'm trying to be really social and if I'm seen as not that strong or strategic, it could be a great way to get far and use my sociability to get ahead.
I don't want to think too far ahead though as I've had that experience of being over-confident in other games, so we'll just see how this goes.

OMG! yay we won again!
I mean, I like that we won, but at this point, we might be better off losing just to get rid of Christy, has she even logged on since the first day?
I do want to say that I think you messed up my final result. I could have sworn I posted that last screenshot of my 440 score? I mean, it didn't affect much, but still.

so you separated me from my #1 ally.... that's really cool I guess. I'm just happy that I wasn't swapped because I have a feeling I'd have been killed over on Tambaqui beach. At least I have a sense of hope for Jenna lasting until the merge when we can meet up again.

This has been a boring week. I guess individual rewards are good but I want to get back into immunity and getting rid of people, the sooner I get rid of people, the sooner I can win.....

yay merge!
I;m actually glad we had a round with no immunity. It would have been fun to have had to work with my "new" tribe but at the same point, I would have been afraid of having to get rid of someone, so positive thoughts on this merge. Now let's see how this auction goes, right off the bat, Ryan is being very aggressive, I know he's a cutie but that could be a problem for me. I think he's going to be gone early if he keeps this attitude up.

Merges are tricky. It's an individual game now, I can't necessarily tell the girls everything anymore because they can use that information against me. I'm trying to befriend the boys I haven't talked to yet and right off the bat, Ryan asks if I want to flip. He's obviously a very strategic player and I have a feeling that if I can win this immunity necklace in the auction, he should be the first to go. The girls want Butch but Butch is nice, I don't see him being nearly as much of a challenge threat right now which means we can get him out later on. These girls are going to have to be watched. Only one of us can win and I do want it to be the ginger :-P

I just want to say that I understood the challenge and I put my bids accordingly. The idea is to make the items go up with a higher bid, by voiding my bid, that's counteracting my strategy in this challenge. I didn't plan to win any of the items I bid for, I just planned on forcing people to outbid me for them, but I'm not the one running this game so I have to accept the unspoken rules and go with it.

Ok, so I won immunity!!! YAY!
I like that, it means that at least this time I'm destined to be on the jury, one step in the right direction so far, however Jenna said something very interesting to me earlier, she said she was surprised that I won immunity. Am I being seen as a non-threat? I guess that's a positive thing because it means that I'll stick around longer. I just hope I didn't screw this up. I can only take what she said positively, I don't want to start thinking that she's playing me this early.

So... Ryan is a weasel. He's apparently talking to Jeanne about voting out the girls. For one thing, IDK if she's going to fall for it, which makes her threatening, for another, I don't like that he's talking to her and not to me. But I'm not going to confront him because I don't want to be the target. Ryan has GOT TO GO, and as it's looking, I may have to get Jeanne out soon after.

Jeanne is really annoying me. I personally would rather keep Butch over her so my only hope is that after we get Ryan out, I can convince Jenna of this. She seems to be on board with me so far and I'm hoping that this can secure me a better spot later on. For some reason I'd rather have Deena and Heidi stick around when they haven't proven to be such big threats, than Jeanne with her dominating attitude.

these girls are fucking paranoid as all hell. Now Jenna, who's supposed to trust me, is all paranoid and wants to vote out Butch, who is under my wing. I'm starting to second guess my long-term plans in this game, next round might be VERY interesting.
