RIP KRISTIE THE QUEEN
*cough cough*
Sorry, where was I? Oh right, Round 7 and we're only at Final 17. I mean technically on pace with losing one person per round-ish. But still, the pacing of this game has been quite weird. So Final 17, technically three swaps already, and I've met most of the cast?
Casey, Nova, Sarah, and Sharn = Arumbera 1.0
Ben, Jarrad, Michelle = Arumbera 2.0 (plus Casey again of course)
Mark = Arumbera 2.5
Baden, David, Tessa = Papunya 3.0 (kept Ben and Mark, got back Nova and Sharn)
That leaves Daisy, Mat, Ross, Kylie, and Tegan! Honestly I should bring back my tribe mapping thing I used to do for more orgs because I don't know who's been where at this point. I might be the most connected on the tribe? Theoretically, it could've been Mark if he was better at the game lol.
I like this Papunya 3.0 luckily, and we have Mark as an easy boot thank god. I'm glad I got Sharn and Nova out of all the old Arumberas, since I think I liked them two the most. Sharn has been really sweet and she straight up told me she used the power, so the girl has some brains on her. I don't mind it, although I preferred where I had just six people on my tribe. Plus an easy option to boot either Casey or Mark if needed. Oh well, you win some you lose some. And this isn't a loss per se?
Got to "officially" meet Tessa and that makes me happy. She's a sweet girl and I love her. I knew from the moment she whispered me a meme that we'd have a connection, and our IMs are already proving that. Here's a list of people I would say I have solid connections with;
- Casey
- Nova
- Sharn
- Ben
- Jarrad
- Michelle
- Tessa
I know that's kind of early on Tessa, but we've been vibing and describing our games in memes. I have begun talking to David and Baden, who both seem nice enough, and so this leaves Mark. I want Mark gone as soon as humanly possible, even though I know that probably puts Sharn's head on the chopping block.
Mark is just absolutely bizarre, one of the weirdest players I have ever encountered. Showing up on a tribe and not even trying to make pleasantries but then dominating the conversation around this past challenge? Absolutely bizarre. I can't say I recommend that for any future Stranded players, that's for sure! If we went to tribal right now, I would push hard for him to go. He's made no intention to learn or grow from getting voted out, and I don't think he should make the merge if he can't seem to put the effort in.
Hoping we merge at like 14/13 or something so I can make it through this week and then get to the individual game. I want to get to that point again and prove I have what it takes to go deep, but we'll see. I am shocked I'm still here in some senses, but also I think I've charmed some people without trying so who knows. Let's just see where this goes!
