4/16 I guess I'll post all of my thoughts here... I'm really excited to be here and be a part of the game. I have not played Survivor in forever, so I hope I'm not too rusty... it's really exciting to be able to give it another go I'm a little apprehensive that my tribe is me and 3 younger guys... that will either work in my favor or against me pretty much from the start, I think. I'll either be the cool "mom" they want to have around, or I'll be the crazy old lady who none of them want to talk to... in my experience in games it has gone both ways. So, even before I meet anyone I know that I am going to have an uphill battle. But I have faith that I can pull something off and hopefully make some new friends from this... age is only a number after all.

4/18 (or 4/19 I guess, it's late... LOL) I've been able to meet 2/3 of my tribe, and so far so good I have to say, it's still early yet, but I really like Clayton. He's good conversation and brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the game. We were able to chat for so long but it felt like we'd barely gotten started. Syd I like as well, though he's been a little quiet, I am convinced that he is he a nice guy and someone I would like to get to know better. Still no sign of Kyle yet, but I'm trying... I really want to form a tight bond with my tribemates just in case this challenge doesn't go the way we want it to.

4/20
Hooray for immunity! I'm so excited that we did as well as I had hoped for, and that everyone on the tribe is active and a strong contributor. I feel like I got to be a large part of our win, because I found the two answers my tribemates were unable to get a hold of, so it's always nice to feel like a help. I was a little worried when I found out the other three made a lot of progress when I wasn't able to be there, but in the end we were all an equal and important part of our success.
Right now the alliance situation on our tribe is unique...Syd has asked me for one and I accepted, believing that it's really poor form to say no to an alliance (especially on such a small tribe.) However, I have to say that I have bonded more on a personal level with Kyle and Clayton, so if we were to lose, everything would be up in the air. I could be safe, I could be in trouble, it all depends... I really hope that we can keep up this winning streak until we get placed into bigger tribes. I'm losing my mind over here. LOL.

4/24 Tribe switch....aaaah! Crazy! I'm sad to be separated from my Heqet boys... I really grew to like them a lot But the game goes on, and if I don't start making friends over here, my butt could be on the line. I'm worried that I'm the only one from my tribe here, if we lose...they might think of me as likely to switch back at a merge and vote for me. So I really need to get hopping on the alliance train and bust my tail to win immunity for us. I'd be really sad to go home this early because I really love this game.

4/26
So despite all of our hard work, we lost immunity before the challenge was really even out of the gate ::sigh:: I really wish that wasn't the case, but like Sandros said...someone always has to lose, and although it's a first for me in this game, I have to deal with it accordingly.
I'm a little disappointed that my old Heqet boys tried so hard on the challenge even after they told me that they wanted to throw it to keep me safe. I never conspired with them to do that and I certainly never asked them to...but once they told me they were going to try and keep me around, but then totally do the opposite, I don't know exactly how much I trust them anymore. I'm sad to say it, but it really did make me think that maybe I am not as important to them as they made it seem to start. I'm thinking I need to start taking any alliances I make over here more seriously and not so much as "backup plans" anymore.
But, I am at least optimistically hoping that I'll be safe on my own over here... I have an alliance with Andrew and what seems to be a strong budding friendship with Sammy and Jon. Conny and I also discussed wanting to keep the girls together for the time being, so I am hoping she will not vote for me, either. As for Michael, I don't know him at all, and even though he seems really nice, I just don't know anything about him and he has been the least communicative with me thus far in the game. So, when I have to write a name down tomorrow, his will probably be easiest for me, I think.

4/30 Gahhhhhh I hate losing We're 0/2 in challenges and it always seems to be because of one dumb mistake. I really hate going to tribal because it brings out the worst in people, and that's definitely what has happened since we found out we'd be voting. Andrew is really paranoid and is stressing me out to the max. I love the guy, but first he pushes for Jon, and now I hear he wants to vote Conny or Sammy? I'm so confused. LOL. I really don't think he knows what he wants half the time, and I'm hoping he doesn't say the wrong thing to the wrong person and watch himself get voted out instead. Right now I think the group is leaning towards voting off Morgan. She's a nice girl and I enjoyed the chat I had with her the other day, but the timing of our loss did kind of fall on her, unfortunately. I'm a little more tight with the others since we all voted together last round, too, so it just seems like the easiest thing to do. I feel bad though. I really hate voting people off.

5/3
I'm really upset with the latest turn of events in the game. I feel like I finally get a footing in my switch tribe, and I get moved to an even worse one. What are the odds? LOL.
I was really happy to be back with Kyle and Syd, but worried to be put with Andrew and Morgan (simply because I voted for Morgan last TC and they both know it.) She's been strange with me lately and I have no idea whether we are on good terms right now or not. But, once we lost the challenge she did tell me that people were campaigning to vote me out, and that my only chance to stay was to ride the majority against my friend Syd.
I can't really explain how I feel about this situation other than crappy. Syd was my first ally in the game and I love him, but I feel like he's going to be voted out no matter what I do. So I guess the question is... do I stick to my word and vote with him to my own detriment, or do I betray my ally because the majority wants me to?
::sigh::

5/7 Sammy's gone and now Kyle's been stolen from the tribe. I feel totally alone. I'm 90% sure that if I go to TC again on this tribe, I will be voted off. Clayton did me no favors by telling everyone in his TC answer that he "has" me and Kyle on the other tribe. Well, he won't have me for long, because thanks to his big mouth I'm probably going home soon.

5/9
There might be some hope left for me, I think. Sean told me he wants to vote Ektor our and that Morgan might, also. I am skeptical that she would go against Andrew but there's always the possibility. I'm crossing my fingers for this challenge because I hate that uncertainty, but I'm not going to bow my head down and give up no matter how bad things may look for me. I'm renergized and ready to fight.

5/10 UGH!! I'm the worst survivor player ever! Voting out Jon was such a boneheaded move, I can't believe I listened to Morgan in thinking that the others were targeting Clayton and not Torah. Now I passed up the chance to get out a threat with no allegiances to me and instead voted out a friend and someone who I cared for a lot. I can't believe how stupid I am. Jon, if you ever read this, I want you to know how sincerely sorry I am for not going with my gut and voting for Torah. I've had no power this entire game and I let it make me complacent, and I think I just shot myself in the foot in the long run. Above all, if I hurt you, I'm SO sorry. You're a great guy and I like you tons. I hope when this is over you will forgive me. No more bad decisions, no matter what. It's time to stop being a follower and start getting stuff done.

thanks hun <3
If anything, this will be a wake-up call for me. If I want to perform better, I need to start taking control and not letting others make me feel powerless.

5/15
I made jury! Whoohoo!! LOL.
I'm really excited and honored to have made it this far. I never thought I'd make it here with two of my original alliance members, especially when everyone was so insistent that we go for being threats. Right now, I think I'm in a good position to make it near the end, but probably not to win. Due to necessity I have had to double deal much more this game than I usually like to... I prefer to be more honest, but I think if I had been, I might not have made it this far. I'm torn between my alliance with Kyle and Clay and my alliance with Sean and Andrew... I feel like the later two would be much easier to beat in the end, but I don't know if I could live with myself if I played the kind of game it would take to get me there. So, it's a tossup, but I'm just so excited about making it this far that I'm willing to deal with all of that as it comes.

6/18 Final 6 Wow, I never thought I'd get this far. I'm also glad to be here with the people I'm here with... everyone left is a good person and a good player and I'm proud of all of us. I liked Ektor but he had lied to me so much in the past that I really had no choice but to vote him off. With the other option being Kyle there was really no other option for me at all. I'm not sure what my chances are at making the F2, though, and I'm getting worried. I can't help but think that Kyle and Clayton would take each other to the end over me, and that I'd be better off voting with Sean and Andrew to take one of them out this time. However, there's still Torah, and unless I want to cause a tie (which I totally don't) then I think I need to stay loyal to our F4 and hope for the best. I don't quite know, things in this game are always ambiguous.
