Well, that was quite a night. Let's go over a few things shall we?

1. On Survivor, there usually is one big twist for each season. What would you think the twist is for this season of Stranded? In general, how often do you enjoy these type of big twists you see on TV?
2. Prisoner's Dilemma, a Stranded classic. How do you feel about Lindsey catching that immunity first? Do you wish that someone else grabbed it or waited longer for it, or are you fine with how the challenge went?
3. For a bit of a calmer on the last question, who in this game do you enjoy non-game talks with? To just shoot the shit with and bond personally, or for entertainment.

So here’s my guess re: the twist because this would be my own private hell. 

What if Jeff one worlds us and puts us all on the same camp, but we’re still in the same tribes? And EVERYONE can have an effect on everyone’s game. The amount of chaos would be insane. And I’m not here for it. It seems like all the crazy is on Masulous 2.0 and we just have boring ass Carolyn and Rodney. I’m ok with that. I’m ok with calm. 

I think a lot of people are either expecting a merge or another swap. I don’t see the merge happening because we’ve only gotten one idol clue. Maybe it’s a double tribal council? I just don’t see that happening either because - again - we’ve only had one idol clue for this “new” idol. I’ve just learned not to expect anything because I certainly had no expectations from that last immunity challenge and BOOM Lindsey said fuck y’all to the rest of her tribe faster than anyone could look. Moral of the story: expectations low, and go with the flow.

Also all of the prayer candles I have lit are working - today Tyler approached me with the idea to make a 4 of me/him/Shirin/Genie - which I immediately said yes to. 

But then apparently, Hali was telling Genie information about a blindside that left her out of the vote… and apparently they’re trying to leave her out of this alliance, too. So I’m keeping that in my back pocket, because if Tyler and Shirin get too strong, we’ll need Hali to take them out. 

long story short Genie and I are pulling off the impossible and should be the final 2.
