I Wish I Didn't Hate Everyone: A Confessional

[Keith Tollefson]

Let the Games Begin!

Well, I figured I should get started with my first confessional. First off I would like to apologize for being offensive and using derogatory language in this. When my mom dropped me on my head as a child she broke my censor, so I have a tendency to word vomit. Oh Well.

First can we address the issue of me being picked LAST. Like really, what the actual fuck. The girls who did not do the first challenge AT ALL got picked before me. I thought I was passed the point in my life where I got picked last for things. Sure I was that kid in gym class that got a bloody nose playing soccer, but they don't know that!!! I would even understand a little more if my score was bad, but it wasn't! I didn't even place in the bottom half. Let's just say Tarzan and Julia will eventually feel my wrath for that one. I have a grudge holding problem in some games.

My first thought when I saw that was honestly that there are a lot of pre-game alliances. I haven't been around in awhile, I don't know who has friends here and who doesn't. But it would make sense for people to pick their friends to be on their tribe. But these aren't the things I can get paranoid with because they are just out of my control.

So I started talking to a few people early on and they all seemed alright. Zane is really strange and was kinda boring when I tried to talk to him. Given I probably wasn't all that interesting either. All of the girls on my tribe seem pretty cool, except Heidi, I don't think she is ever coming back. Laura and I hit it off pretty quick; I could definitely see myself working with her eventually. Allie is cool, but I can almost guarantee she is going to be one of my biggest threats. I need to get to jail soon to see if she got an idol, or if I can get one, because if she has one that is going to be dangerous.

Alex is currently my favorite person to talk to just because of his English struggles. Before the challenge he told Pete and I to, "Lick Ass." So that's good. My roommate is from Peru so I am so used to the Spanish to English problems I think he and I will get along.

Now my one big thing right now is Ashley. I swear she knows who I am. She is obviously playing alias but she won't admit to knowing me. She just seems to familiar. Anyways! Her and I made an alliance already. We want to try and go for the failed Tocantins plan of a cross-tribe alliance. So each of us will get one person from our tribe and make a 4 person alliance. I really want that to work, but as of right now something is just weird about her. I will just have to watch her closely.

That's all for now. I am sure these will be much more enjoyable to read once I actually have to do something!

It's Not Like We Are Playing Survivor Or Anything.

Just an FYI. If you feel like naming all of the episodes after my confessionals that is perfectly acceptable.

So this round things started to pick up a little bit. Not enough to really be that exciting, but enough that I am starting to actually have relationships to write about.

Ashley and I have solidified the fact that we are going to go ahead and make a secret cross tribal alliance. I am still on the fence about her, but at this point I am willing to go all out. She seems to want to bring in Eddie where I am leaning towards bringing in Laura.

My plan was then to do a 4 person alliance with the cross tribe, as well as doing a 4 person alliance within our tribe, just to have options. I wanted to include Laura in both just because I think I trust her most right now. She seems to know what she is doing in these games too.

I wanted my 4 person alliance on this tribe to be with Laura, Pete and Allie because I believe they are the strongest. I know Allie and Pete are going to be huge threats later on, so I am going with the approach of keeping my enemies close.

I approached Pete to try and bring up an alliance but his response was,

"I just don't want to think about things like that yet. I'd rather just keep winning."

Like what? (Thus the title to this post) Aren't you supposed to make alliances? Am I playing the wrong game? I know it has been a year since I have played but usually when people approach you for an alliance you don't say you'd rather not think about it.

I did manage to get something out of that though. He specifically said that if we lost twice (So after Heidi goes) he would want Alex gone. He said he is offensive and has said offensive stuff to Brenda and indirectly to him. He is also questioning if Alex is even from Spain. I am not positive either way, but him being so dead set on Alex could be interesting. The other thing that was interesting was how much he revealed about talking to Brenda. I have a feeling those 2 are tight. I am going to have to break that up sooner rather than later.

One final thought for this round. WHO THE FUCK KEEPS GIVING ME NEGATIVE KARMA. Someone here knows me and is pissed for some reason. The only person I know it is not is Laura and that's because she keeps bumping me back up, then all of a sudden I go back down. Ugh. I'm going to be really pissed if I find out it is Ashley and my whole cross-tribal alliance is a fraud who is out to get me.

A Tale of Two Dumbasses

Well I figured I would just answer all of your questions in one confessional, even though this may very well be my last.

Alex taking to mutiny literally fucked my entire plan up. Laura and I are so tried of Pete and were going to use Alex and Sierra to blindside him at the next tribal we went to, but then he left, and now we are at tribal. Given, we didn't tell him about our plan, but that was just because we didn't want anything getting leaked to early.

Now he is going to get voted out of their tribe instead of helping us get Pete out.

Once I saw we were both going to tribal I knew I was in deep shit. I am super close with Laura at this point and her and I have a final 2 deal. But we also know that Allie and Pete are close. Pete has determined that he is hot shit and runs the tribe and will decide who stays and who goes. Unfortunately, I think people are going to listen to him.

Last night I really wanted to win that immunity but fucking Tarzan was being difficult. I tried to work numerous deals with him but the best he would offer was,

"Give it to me, and if I hear you're in danger I will give you the immunity"

Hell no. I was going to play all out. I even had the other tribe helping me try and get him out! Then of course he realizes this and calls Chris out on it. The other tribe is realizing my pain of dealing with these people, because they are just mind numbing.

Talking to Tarzan has to be one of the most painful things in the entire world. He talks in questions and you never actually know what he is saying. Like I know you aren't writing in your confessional that way. I know it is possible for you to carry on an actual conversation, but no.

So if I can make it past this vote I will be fine because most likely Pete will be gone. Sierra, Laura and myself will all be voting him, so we only need one more. We are relying heavily on Brenda. No one really knows where she stands, so relying on her kind of sucks but it is all I have. Tarzan claims he wants Pete out, but I don't believe it for a second. I think he is a Pete minion and is just trying to find out who is against his all mighty ruler.

In good news, Laura, Ashley, Jeff and myself have a nice cross-tribal alliance that could work out if I hang on until merge. I don't know if they would actually take Laura and I far, but I much prefer talking to them then people like Pete and Tarzan so whatever.

Hope this isn't my last one, because that would just be sad. I don't know if I have ever been voted out this early.

BOOM!

Wait. Wait. Did that just happen? Am I still here?

I spent the whole day convinced I was going home. I honestly think my one little lie managed to do a whole lot of damage. All I told Tarzan was that Pete made a final 2 with me and that it hurt me to think he was gunning for me.

So I lied about that. Sue me. BUT, Tarzan bought it (I think) and agreed to vote Pete out. Then I come to find out after the vote that Pete, Allie, Laura, Brenda and Tarzan were all in an alliance. So I managed to overcome the odds and crack Prestige Worldwide (Awful name BTW).

I really do think I owe a lot of this to Laura and Sierra. They went to bat hard for me this week, not only convincing Brenda to vote Pete, but also getting Pete's closest ally Allie to vote him as well.

This is why you shouldn't be a huge douche bag ladies and gentlemen. Pete was the epitome of most frat boys I know: Cocky, Arrogant, Controlling, and Annoying.

The good news is the tribe really seems to like me now and I am not so nervous anymore. I still want to get rid of Tarzan because he makes me nervous, but other than that I am alright. Not to mention I have my alliance with Ashley and Jeff.

I am a little worried about them though. Their tribe seems really close. I don't know where I really fit into their priority list and think I am going to have to adjust some alliances when I get to merge. I would rather go in with numbers so they don't have a choice but to rely on me.

On one last note, I still have no clue why I have -6 karma. Really. WTF. No one seems to hate me that is left so I am super confused. Whatever, I am just going to assume it is a PW and move on with my life.

It's not me. I like you.
