Brenda is G-O-N-E. Great. A quick note is that Stephanie took Brenda's comments somewhat personally, then got mad at her and had a few jabs here and there. I don't respect that much, and I think by doing so Stephanie made herself a target. The only other thing I can think of is if Stephanie is trying to be a goat so she can go deep into the game. If we were to lose another challenge, I'd probably turn on Stephanie, because of her lack of cooperation in the first challenge, not helping us at all the second time around, and her abrasiveness. Teresa is a smart player, but I don't want to go against her just yet. If there is a swap, and I think it's more likely every day, then that's the time to take her out. She and I don't really trust each other, because we're both smart, calculating players. From our conversations, she tells me information that I might not have known that isn't if any value to her, which makes me "trust" her more and doesn't seem to harm her. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I have a feeling if the tribes stay the same and we lose a few more challenges, it'll be T-Bird versus Brian, payperview.

I spelled Hephaestus wrong in my copypaste and I HAD THE RIGHT COMBO AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I made a careless error and lost an idol because of it. So far, LJ, Ken, Sabrina, Stephanie, and T-Bird can all have it, even though T-Bird says she doesn't. I compared clues with her, and opened the door "first" I think, but I'm worried about it. The idol is in play, so I hope whoever has it tells me so we can work with it.

Heh. My confessional title is way more applicable to my new tribe than than the old one.
New Athena represent! I still have LJ, and Teresa who is my uneasy ally in this game, with newcomers Todd and Ciera, which is amazing. Brian, why is this amazing? Because they're gonna get fucked if we lose, and I'm not fond of either of them. Ciera threw shade my way and told LJ that I was making tons of F2s and alliances and that I was a rat after Karmagate, while Todd talked shit in the challenge towards T-Bird, so I'm sure there's some animosity there. I'm hoping Old Athena can stick together on this tribe and remove those two players, because if Athena has the majority, it gives me way more options. I'm hoping Kass, Austin, Yul, and Ken stay safe on their new tribes, and that New Athena can chalk out some wins so we dwindle the other tribe's numbers. If we lose...awesome!

Oh and Teresa is the smart, Todd is the stupid, and Ciera is the just plain terrible.

I have a problem...I'll be missing all of Tuesday, so I need to ensure I do my portion on Wednesday, and that if we do lose, Athena sticks together. I don't want to go for poor challenge performance, and I don't think I would. However, those have contributed to the first two boots.

Ciera is batshit insane. After her account glitching, she asked LJ to make her one, which he declined. After that, she cussed him out, told him she was voting for him every round, and that she had an idol. Well, if it's true, crap. I do NOT want her around, and her insulting LJ wasn't okay. Being respectful is part of it, because these are people behind the castaways, and some players forget that or just don't give a shit.

A bigger update for sure. So, Ciera the Loon was messaging everyone on Old Area for an idol, which doesn't really work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't just give someone on a different tribe an idol unless you're JT, but we all know how that turned out. Ciera also believes that I have the Athena idol, 100% and that I'm hiding it from people. Girl, I WISH I had that thing because it would kick ass, but I have the next best thing...an ally with the idol. Austin, now on Hades, was able to collect the idol. He promised me a F2, and I do think I'm pretty solid on that end with him, but I need to burn his idol before he can turn on me, just to be careful. I like him a lot, but putting too much trust into others has lost me the game before, so I'm going to be cautious. I do trust him, but an idol is a powerful tool and I want to make sure it's used before it comes down to fewer numbers.
Meanwhile on the flip side, I promised Teresa if we stuck together to the F5, she has my jury vote, and then she revealed she had the Athena idol. What does that mean? Two allies have idols! It's like fucking Oprah up in here, except Oprah in this case is a male model and a whatever Aras does. I don't plan on making the jury, I plan on making the finals, so I my deal looks like a big one on paper, but it doesn't hold that much weight. The only people I'd probably vote for over Teresa are Austin and Kass, and I don't expect to see them making the end if I'm on the jury.
Round 3 has been huge for me, because it shored up my position with Teresa, revealed two idols, and it also means Ciera doesn't have one so I can vote her out myself and don't have to use my 3-1-1 plan, which I'm going to tell you about anyways because I thought it was cool.
Todd and Ciera aren't fond of each other, and Todd threw her under the bus immediately. If we lose the challenge, he said he's voting Ciera. Sweet. Now, we don't know if she had the idol (later confirmed she doesn't), so putting 4 votes on her could be risky because she'd most likely vote me and then bam, I'm I got idoled out. My plan was this: Teresa, LJ, and Todd all vote Ciera, and then I vote Todd. That way, if an idol is played on Ciera and Todd votes the way he said he would, it becomes a 1-1 tie between Todd and whoever Ciera voted for. Then in the tiebreaker, LJ and Teresa vote Todd, and then he's gone and any possible idol they would have gets flushed. It was my #CirieMoment and it got ruined, but oh well. Lots of unpredictability there.

I like him a lot, but putting too much trust into others has lost me the game before #whoops |

IMMUNITY!!!!!!! It feels so good. Ciera carried us, which countered my believe she was completely and utterly useless, which means she's almost completely and utterly useless. Oh and Ares is a mess because Stephanie got their idol, which could be problematic for my friends there. I can, for now, not worry about being voted out and worry about someone else being voted out.

I tried to get my grubby little puppetmaster fingers in the Ares Tribal Council. Hopefully, if it all goes according to plan, Kass will have implemented my 3-1-1 strategy and an idol gets burned. Losing Steph or Ken doesn't matter that much, because Stephanie is so eccentric and revealing and then Ken is still a mystery, and I would much rather know where his loyalty lies. Ideally, Stephanie leaves, but as long as it isn't Kass, I'm good with that.
I've found a problem, and it's that I have too many people who consider me their ally: Austin, LJ, Teresa, Stephanie, Kass, Yul, and then to an extent Katie, Ken, and Candice. I need to ensure my web of lies doesn't grow too big, or hope some people get axed because I'm probably gonna have to get a lot of blood on my hands. Also, I want to throw when my tribe reaches 13 if we haven't lost by then, because I do not want Ciera touching the jury at all. Her irrational hatred for me is bad, and I don't want any votes against me this early in the game.
