⋞Day 9 - Kuuma Kaakao Tribe⋟

A whole new dayyyyyy... A new fantastic confessionalllllll.... no one to tell me "stop"... or what to write... or say I'm a bad playerrrrrr.

Okay I was bored... Today is the day that we go into our tribe cars and I can speak to everyone else. That is actually only in 12 minutes. I'm a few different things. Excited to meet new people, uneasy as I am in a minority, and well... worried that Jaremi and everyone else will go straight for me. I don't know where to start with this one, I might follow the same guidelines I did in my Day 1 confessional since I was meeting new people and such. Definitely will have a trust ranking/thoughts on each express passenger, but I'll most definitely be focusing more on the game over writing this stuff up.

⋞Kuuma Kaakoa⋟

I have yet to come up with a title for this section. I'll probably have one by the time I finish writing it however. But so much has actually happened now. You guys don't even know what has been going through my mind all day before we were able to get into our train cars. Our whole alliance was looking good and then I come back from the movies to see that the whole like.... we swapped tribes. So I'm now in a new tribe, and I wasn't even able to talk to the other members yesterday since we were all like, sent back to our trolly of trusts.

So basically my train of thought is, "Jaremi is going to get the upper hand as he was able to talk to them before I could and now I have to wait until tomorrow before I can even actually speak to the other members of the new tribe." During the time that we were waiting, I was taking everything into consideration as to possible moves I could make. I don't want to be extremely forward and paint a target on my back, but I also don't want to lay back and do absolutely nothing as well. In the time Jaremi had the chance to talk to the others, even though DMs weren't allowed, I didn't know what to think.

The time that we were allowed to talk in the train cars was 2:30pm my time, so I was just biding my time, waiting and thinking of what to do while also talking to Noah up until that point. We had some good conversations but that is irrelevant to this lol. As soon as it hit 2:30, I was immediately in the train car speaking, talking to everyone both in that chat while also approaching and being approached by the three other members of Kuuma Kaakoa that I didn't know yet in DMs.

Everyone was extremely nice, I picked up a conversation with Sinopa immediately in DMs. It wasn't anything to do with survivor or the season, it didn't have to have anything to do with that at all. We just spoke about ourselves, connected over things and just had an enjoyable talk overall. It's the first time I've talked to him, and yeah, I'm a castaway in a season he is co-hosting with a few others in a different ORG LMFAO. It was amusing, but I feel I could definitely work with him in the future if I have to.

Alanna was instantly one of my favorites. Mainly because we are both the only females in this season. Being split apart at the start of the season just to be united together at tribe swap? Hell yeah! We girls need to stick together. Not even 5 minutes into our conversation and we are already planning to host a female only survivor ORG after this season XD. Since we spoke a lot about how most of the cast in every ORG we have played has always been male, leaving us girls at a disadvantage. So yeah, I reckon we will get along great.

Ryan, Alanna, Sinopa and I all went into a voice chat not that long after we ended up in a voice chat. Jaremi was invisible this whole time, really didn't even know he was around. We ended up playing some games using the Hollywood Bot, which I didn't even know existed up until that point, so that was extremely fun. Honestly just talked about random things, nothing game related. However when Alanna and Sinopa left the voice chat, Ryan and I continued to remain in the voice chat and continue talking.

Ryan and I spoke a lot. Not exactly in DMs or tribe chat, but mainly in the voice chat. We went from talking about every day things to actually talking about the game and revealing much more information. I won't lie and say I'm probably the closest with Ryan right now. We gave each other information, he cleared up who was in his trolly and vice versa. I gave away information I knew others would end up learning about sooner or later, so it wasn't necessarily a bad decision on my part. The trolly of trusts really don't phase me, whether I make it with all of my guys, or none of them at all doesn't matter, I'm not in it for the merge idol clue if I even make it that far.

So the news I got is that Ryan is in a trolly with Maple and Lavina. He knows I'm with Harry and David, not that hard to deduct since we are all Australians. But yeah, Ryan and I spoke for a decent amount of time and I have gotten a good feel for him. He is definitely someone that I will work with if given the chance, additionally, I have given Ryan much more information then I have given to anyone else period. Out of all of us within Kuuma, Ryan said he wants to work with me the most, and honestly, I will probably work with him closely in the future.

-----< After Immunity Challenge >-----

I have a few more options in regards to moves I can make. Of course to throw Jaremi under the bus. It seems like the best move. Jaremi has helped me bargain my case as he has barely been active with everyone else in Kuuma Kaakoa. This has allowed me more time to connect to the others easier, and basically show them I'm someone they would like to work with. I've talked to everyone individually, two of them about this season and Sinopa simply just about life and all that.

Ryan wants to continue with me as a duo, and I will probably take him up on that. I don't hold complete trust with Alanna, however in the future she will most likely be the best to continue on with. However I know more about Ryan then I do about Alanna which has me leaning towards him. Alanna spoke to me a few hours ago talking about how if we do end up going to tribal council again after this Jaremi vote, that the next vote would be Sinopa. Her reasoning behind this is that she obviously wants to stick with me, females rule and all that motto, but she also connects with Ryan much better then she does Sinopa. So yeah, I feel satisfied right now.

I was concerned that Ryan, Alanna and Sinopa wanted to go into a three way Angoon alliance, leaving Jaremi and I on the outs and as easy picking. But with my general nature and easy approach, I'm making it easy for them to come to me and want to actually start something long term. So yeah, I'm doing something right at this point in time. Alanna wants me in her side, it was kind of an automatic at this point. I don't know if I will continue with her further into this season if I make it to merge, however I believe she will stick with me if I do decide I want to work with her more.


⋞Trust Ranking⋟

These trust rankings are just so different from the last time. From having 7 people in my list to a full 4, I've had to think a great deal more as to who is positioned where within them. Jaremi is the most obvious one to be at the bottom, my general concern after everything that happened in Galena basically automatically placing him in this position. The others are placed where they are depending on how much I managed to talk to them today and my personal feelings about each of them.

1. RyanP - I'm placing Ryan at the top of my trust ranking for a few different reasons. The first of those reasons as while we didn't speak much at all in DMs or the train car, we all ended up VC'ing apart from Jaremi. During this time, we just played a few games using the Hollywood bot for around an hour. We didn't talk strategy at all, but I think we were all feeling each other. After the others left to head to sleep, Ryan and I spoke a lot more which I have already covered in this confessional, which is great for myself.

2. Alanna - Alanna and I connected over both of us being females. We just like are able to talk without worry. I know she wants to work with me, in fact her first pick from Galena was me, mainly due to well... I'm the only other female in the tribe. We aren't as worried with our trust... as we want to stick together. I can't say exactly she is top as I haven't exactly talked to her about the actual survivor game itself to the degree I have with Ryan. That's the only reason why she is being placed second on my trust ranking.

3. Sinopa - Sinopa and I bonded over our messages in DMs. He is a chill guy, also a host in another season I am apart of that I don't really know how I got casted as I told them I would be inactive lmfao. But anyways. Sinopa and I have only really talked about our personal lives instead of anything to do with the game, not even to the amount I have with Alanna. I also don't think I will be able to work with him in the future if we both make it to merge, as I am closer to both Ryan and Alanna. Nothing against Sinopa either, but my own game comes first and I won't risk holding close ties with someone that others are prepared to take out if we need to go to tribal again.

4. Jaremi - Are you guys really surprised Jaremi is last on my trust rankings? Cause I'm not. I tried to get him out last tribal council while still on Galena, however things happened and obviously I was on the outs of a vote that wasn't actually Jaremi. Factor in that I ended up having to attempt to clear something up... which is hard when I was the only vote on Jaremi you know... I'm pretty sure Jaremi would throw me under the bus at any point if he has to, we aren't sticking with tribal lines after the tribe swap, and I don't believe Jaremi and I would even actually be able to work together if we had to. It has made it hard, but he has made it easier for me to be able to solidify my position within this new tribe.

These trust ranking positions can always change at any given moment. I feel content with basically the whole tribe and I believe I will be fine now compared to how I was feeling when I first came into this tribe. I still want to clarify things with Jaremi, which I know won't happen, however I am feeling like he is more on the outs compared to myself.


⋞Trolly of Trust⋟

I've spoken and thought a decent bit about the trolly's within both this tribe and the season in general. I can't for sure say that I am confident in any of these trolly's apart from my own. I was able to confirm a few different things but not much to make a massive impact. I am not exactly trying to make merge with my trolly for the idol clue, I legitimately don't want to try for it. I feel it is a waste of space, especially with the fact a lot of people will get it in the end. I just want to make merge because I can.

Trolly 1:
- Patrick
- Unconfirmed
- Unconfirmed


Trolly 2:
- Geoff
- TBird
- Unconfirmed


Trolly 3:
- Drew
- Jaremi
- Dallas


Trolly 4:
- Ryan
- Maple
- Lavina


Trolly 5:
- Harry
- David
- Ripple


Trolly 6:
- Xavi
- Unkown
- Unknown

These are the only ones that I actually know. I could guess some but I don't want to risk it. I personally don't really want to focus the game and targeting just because someone is in a trolly with another.


⋞Immunity Challenge⋟

I don't even know this immunity challenge. Everyone was like... not online. Angoon and Galena had around 4-5 on, compared to us with 2. Sinopa and I were the only ones able to actually participate in this immunity challenge. Alanna and Jaremi were heading to work, while Ryan was on his way home. Ryan however was caught in a snow storm and was unable to actually join in. Jaremi said he was heading to work in the point where we were about to lose, so I don't understand why he didn't help up until that point. The time of the challenge wasn't in our favor unfortunately, and for that it kind of sucks but not much we can even do about it now. Complaining won't do much, it won't change results, and won't change us going to tribal council.

It was unlucky that I hit the assassin word. It was a stab in the dark and up until that point, I was second guessing every word I sent because I couldn't confer with other people on what words to use. It was a honest mistake and what happened happened. At this point, what is happening is probably for the best in my eyes, but I won't say that what happened for our tribe in general was good. I have yet to win any challenge this season lol.
