Welcome to your Confessional!

1. Who is your favorite Survivor player?

Ah well, that's easy. It's Mr Tony Vlachos. He's a beast who came to play hard in Cagayan, won the whole thing, then came back and making an entertaining first episode got the better of him, sending him out of the door right away. Third time round, he beat a group of winners - he's undoubtedly the single best Survivor player there is.

2. What is your strategy coming into this season?

I've decided to take things a little slower out of the gates than I would usually, just because a cast of 20 is gonna have some leaks if you're making deals left, right and center. I plan to be friends with everybody, before hopefully being pulled into a majority alliance from the moment we're split into tribes. If that's not the case, then... I guess I gotta go idol hunting!

3. Would you rather lose and be loved or win and be hated?

I'd rather win and be hated! At least I'd be hated with that cash prize in my pocket!

4. Scenario: You find out your closest ally might end up getting the votes to leave. You have an idol in your possession, but if you play it, you expose your game and you no longer have an idol. How do you proceed with the round?

It really depends at what stage of the game we're at. If it's early on, I'd let them go and rebuild connections elsewhere. Halfway or further into the game though? I play the idol on them and we work hard to get people to start working with us, using the threat of fear of other advantages and idols to do so if necessary.

Thank you Gale; I appreciate the quick response! Best of luck

You're very welcome, Theo!

I'm already freaking out as Jack Black just DM'd me and... I've not DM'd a single person! Should I be messaging them this early? I was gonna wait until the tribal splits but then maybe I'm not being as forward as I should be - argghhhhh!

That usually depends on the host on communicating with anyone before the tribes are revealed. There is no strict rule against that this season and we encourage you to use this time to familiarize yourself with the forum and everyone else.

Got it. Time to slip into a few inboxes, then...

Okay so I went from messaging nobody to messaging every single person who has picked a number. Just pleasantries! I hope it doesn't sink me early... Damn the paranoia is seeping in already!

I'm gonna use this as my main place to vent and shit so I don't get my confessional all crowded, hope that's okay!

Looks like Lucifer is going for the copy-and-paste job in DMs, or he's just... super random. Why did he start a new conversation with me when we had one ongoing lmaoooo.

Not the mute sign being over my screenshot LMAO

If something's in my Outbox does it mean it's not yet been read? I *love* being a noob.

Correct.

Outbox means it hasn’t been opened.

Sentbox means it’s been opened.

Thanks gorgeous

So, how long do the tribal councils last? Am I able to put pre-votes in here ahead of time if I'm gonna be asleep etc?

OKAY so some thoughts. I really wanted to get Russell out this round if we went to tribal but he went and turned up last minute. I don't trust a person for one second that chooses to play as that man. He's gotta be nefarious and I need him out sooner rather than later, as I will never trust him. I just don't get the logic behind picking to play as him!

Due to Desi failing to actually turn up to the challenge though, it's looking like we're going to be taking them out so as not to rock the boat this early on. Annoying for sure but, it's the right move for now.

I'll bide my time and if we're unlucky enough to go to tribal again tomorrow night, I'm sure we'll be able to get the votes for Russell then.

If everyone votes and you need my vote to get on with things - it's for Desi  

See you soon! Zzz...

A swap! Already! You guys are e-v-i-l! I'm hoping to get onto a majority with some of the other 10 but honestly, I also need SpongeBob there. That guy is crafty.

Where the actual FUCK is everybody tonight?! Did they all lose their logins?

A double Tribal Council and I'm feeling 99.9999999% sure that my ass is safe. I love that for me. For the first real time, I think I've got a major shot at going all the way. I always say with Survivor, if you can survive the first three TCs you attend, you're gucci.

SpongeBob and Lucifer are doing a great job of making themselves meaty shields. Jack too. They don't realise that the ladies will likely come together and cut their throats when necessary, which I just love.

Of course, there's also the chance that they all turn on me and cut MY throat, so I just gotta keep going along with everything for now, enjoying the chill vibe when we get the opportunity to relax and HOPEFULLY now get a challenge win so I can have a night off tribal!

Ugh SpongeBob is getting ahead of himself and showing his hand way too early. I also don’t wanna take out Beth. Of course she’s not telling you everything sweetie, neither am I! And if you think that about her, you may also think it about me - which makes you dangerous!
