1. What do you think of your tribe? I'm actually pretty happy with my tribe. I have had good conversations with Kel, Jeff and Julia and also ok convos with Chris, Eddie and Zane. I'm finding Eddie and Zane a bit more difficult to talk to, but hopefully now that we are on the same tribe (common goal/enemy and all that) things will go a little smoother. I also had the chance to talk to Brianna last night and she seems really nice. I know a bit about that person, but need to do a little more research as far as loyalty, I seem to remember Klein being pretty loyal if he finds someone he wants to work with, but I'm going to have to do some searching to make sure. 2. Were you surprised to be on the tribe you are currently on? A little bit, but I did think after my chat with Julia the other night I could end up as a fairly decent pick for her as well. I know Tarzan said he was planning to pick me, but obviously his loyalties are truly with Allie and several others. If I had to guess I'd say Tarzan got first pick based on times, which means he holds Allie and Laura as pretty close allies. He did tell me his plan was that he hoped Julia would pick a bunch of the guys and he planned to get some of the stronger players and girls hoping to dominate challenges. Either way, being picked 4th in a game of 18 isn't bad at all. I'm never going to just sit back and think I'm safe though, I will continue to work and try to gain trust within the tribe and maintain some trust with the other tribe as well. 3. Will you consider mutiny? Why? No, I'm not interested in the mutiny option. I've already had 2 come to me about keeping that first core that were picked early together. So basically I'm already in a loose alliance with about 4-5 others, walking away from that would do several things. I would be seen poorly by the other tribe. I don't have that kind of connections with anyone over there. Also, to those who have asked about working together, if they are now planning on me for their group it would be abandoning them and possibly leaving them at risk. That would not be good meeting back up with them at a swap or merge. I really am happy where I am. 4. Who do you think would mutiny? I don't know if Alex would consider it or not. I guess it's going to depend how he feels with his tribe. Heidi may only because she may feel Alicia may be an earlier boot than herself and she may have more chance to establish herself here before another tc. Keith being last pick should consider it, but he says he isn't going to. I feel that one may be a mistake and he could be in early trouble over there but who knows. He was picked after some relatively inactive people, that's not a good sign for him at all. 5. Who are you the closest to on your tribe and why? Julia and Jeff probably. Only because we have had the chance to talk some. I have also talked to Kel quite a bit but I'll admit the potential of who he could be (non-alias) is making me a bit sketchy about trusting him very much. Same with Chris. I really need to work on talking with Eddie and Zane today.6. Who do you like the least on your tribe and why? I don't "not" like anyone really. I've enjoyed talking to them all and it's still really early to find anything that's really an issue with anyone. Then again, I didn't have anyone on the other tribe I didn't like either lol I tend to get along pretty well with most people. Unless someone is dragging baggage from previous games, I don't think I have issues with many people in the org community. 7. How do you think the other players are perceiving you? Nice. Hopefully they seem me that way, and maybe even a little naive. Someone they can align with and trust to be loyal to them and who may not have lots of other deals going on.
Unfortunately I'm probably also feeling a bit boring for a few of the chats. I do feel like I need my social game to step up a little bit, things have been a little too surface so far and my personality tends to be much more low key when I am trying to be alias. I need to work on that and maybe not worry about it quite so much.

1. What impact does Alex switching tribes have on the game? I guess on first appearances it looks like it gives us someone to vote out if we go back to tribal council. But, looking forward it also shows that he absolutely wouldn't go to the other tribe in the event of a swap or merge. He and I have continued to talk since the start of the game and I actually feel he would be an ally in my corner if we were at tc. I guess that's a good thing. The bad part to that is if he's the one to leave, I have to vote out yet another person I've been talking to. lol I'm definitely not winning any points with the pre-jury. 2. Who are your allies at this point? I would say my closest allies are Julia, Jeff and Chris on this tribe and Keith on the other tribe. I don't get to talk to Julia quite as much as I would like, hopefully we get a chance to talk again soon. Spent most of the morning kind of missing each other on aim and she replied tonight but then seemed to disappear again. She said it was her wifi, but hopefully it's just that and not me. I talk to Chris pretty often and through the Kel/Eddie vote feel we got a bit closer. I think my sharing info pretty openly with him helped with that some. I didn't mind sharing what I was hearing, it was an important enough vote that I did feel it was info I wanted to discuss with someone on the tribe before we voted one or the other out. Jeff and I talk pretty often as well and between him and Chris I feel like I usually have someone around to discuss things with. Keith has approached me about a cross tribal alliance. I won't say no to that option, but not sure exactly where this will go or how well that will work out. I guess time will tell. 3. Who do you want out soon? Anyone other than Keith and maybe Laura on the other tribe. Probably not the question you were asking but I really don't have an issue with anyone on my tribe and get along with them pretty well. As far as the other tribe, somehow Allie has managed to build herself into a pretty safe place and I think getting her out asap will be the best overall. Or at least get someone out to help fracture that group some. 4. How safe do you feel going forward? For the moment I feel ok, but never completely safe. That's just not something I ever really feel when I'm in a game. This is survivor, and you never know when someone will decide they want to make a move against their alliance.

I like having the interview questions posted randomly. Don't think I've regularly had that in a game before, usually just pre-game and merge questions. Just thought I'd let you know.
