1. Have you read and acknowledged the Confessional Guidelines?



2. How did you hear about this game?



3. Why did you select your survivor contestant?



4. Do you know anyone else that is playing in this game?



5. What type of strategy will you have coming into a new game in a new series?

[Teresa Cooper]

1. Read them, yes. I didn't see anywhere where I needed to "acknowledge" them though. I guess I'll do that now.

2. Shoot the same way anyone hears about anything I guess. Word has way of travelling through people you know; that's something you learn in this game right?

3. Well ... I try to cast a wide net with the demographics I like to play as, and middle-aged Southern lady is new ground for me. I was raised to always take the road less traveled.

4. Probably not! Although that could change. I have a knack for recognizing friendly faces even when they're tryin to hide.

5. Be as likable as possible and try not to let people realize that everybody loves T-Bird until it's too late. Is it snake-like? Maybe, but snakes are dangerous creatures.

Using this thread for my confessional since it's already called "Round 1".

Anyway, this tribe is ... enthusiastic? Me, Brian, Ken, and LJ did a bunch of strategizing in tribe chat about the best way to approach this challenge. We were gonna have two people use the super poison and paralysis on two active people on their team, then those two would get the antidotes. We executed one of those ... and Stephanie antidoted me for no reason. Who knows, maybe she'll get lucky and that will look smart, but right now she blew up our strategy. Everyone is pretty much active though which is nice, except for John, so John's on the chopping block as far as I know. Can't wait for the game to actually develop a little bit ...

First impressions of tribemates:

Brian - Smart guy. Likes to lead. Hopefully I can be second in command and we can run things until people decide to get rid of him.
LJ - Doesn't strike me as somebody who's going to make waves, but interesting in his own right.
Ken - Very sharp. Watch out for him.
Brenda - Brenda's preaching some girl power shenanigans, which I am 100% okay with. That puts me in the majority right? Plus, since it's her idea, the target will be on her more than anyone else.
Katie - Such a sweetheart. Valuable addition to the girl power group.
Sabrina - Not much to go off yet, but she seemed at least aware of the strategy enough not to blow it up.
Stephanie - *sigh* Haven't talked to her either. Only interaction is watching her mess things up.
John - Who?

[Teresa Cooper]

So Brenda has made the Girl Power Alliance (aka Team Estrogen) official. She's super eager about the whole thing, which is great. Katie and Sabrina have both expressed skepticism to me about the situation, but the three of us are being cautiously optimistic. I have a great relationship with all of the girls right now, so if this foursome turns out to be a valuable group, then I'm in a valuable place. If it turns out to go nowhere ... Well Brian and Ken and LJ all like me. I think I've set myself up well. Look out for T-Bird to be around for a while in this game.

Stephanie is pretty great too. I think she likes me enough to join the GPA and make us five strong.

Meanwhile Brian comes up to me and says he wants me to be his closest ally. He wants to start an alliance of me, him, Ken, LJ, and somebody else TBD. Damn shame the Girl Power Alliance already exists and might have a majority! At the very least, if there's a tribe shakeup, I'll have possible inroads to make.
