I mean if this really is Frank, what we are doing to him is downright cruel. You know assuming he gets voted out and its not me cause getting kiiiiiiiinda weird vibes from Sierra now.

[Tom]

I think I am gonna be voted out.

[Tom]

Well I'll be damned. Good one Frank. My boy's all grown up :')

[Tom]

FTR. Not gonna reveal who I am. They have probably guessed though. I have certain speech patterns that are hard to hide (hence the shtick) But not gonna reveal alias to get out of a bad spot. Its more fun this way after all.

ETA: Revealing alias might actually get me voted out sooner LOL

I started trying to work my way back into the fold. At this point I think Chelsea is my lifeline. If she wants me here I have a chance. If not. Well. GGWP. I also talked to Varner. I mean at this point I have nothing to hide really. I didn't tell him any outright lies. Just half truths. I mentioned how I went against the alliance that I was a part of (likely it was a hollow one all along) because I liked Varner and Chelsea more. Which I do. But I told him the alliance was offered to me not that I tried putting it together myself. But I laid on him real hard how I enjoyed talking to him and liked him and what not. IDK. I am in a tough spot but maybe it isn't as tough as I thought at first??? I sure hope so and of course I will try to win a challenge. A swap is next, surely. At 16. Gonna have to hit the ground running in a swap. Gonna assume both tribes had fairly easy tribal councils. Which means hopefully that the bonds formed aren't too tight and I can worm my way in somewhere.

Day 6:

Sierra has ignored my message that said I wanted to talk and clear things up. That's disappointing :\
My only viable option right now is to convince Varner and Chelsea that I am more loyal to them than Osten and Sierra will be. Which I think is true but the question is will they want to save me and risk alienating one person with a swap looming? This creative challenge has come at the worst time because its not really my forte whereas both Sierra and Osten are quite good at it. Gonna have to work my ass off to make something happen. And also pray that either Varner or I get an idol. Cause if there is an idol in the hands of Osten I am all but fucked. Will make for a nice self full filling prophecy/foreshadowing tho because I recall mentioning how I was a fan of the twist on Day 1.

[Tom]

Had a little chat with Sierra. First thing of note is that not only did Chelsea tell her she had the idol, Chelsea told Sierra that I knew Chelsea had the idol. That's really weird to me. Well not so much weird as worrying. It looks like Sierra is the one who everyone wants on their side. And that's not surprising. But that also means that my position in this team is the worst right now. Because Osten is firmly under the protection of Sierra. EVEN IF Chelsea wants me to stay over Osten, Varner is smart enough to not want to jeopardize his standing with Sierra with a potential swap looming. Damn it! Its gonna be a tough road ahead. For now winning the damn challenge looks like my only way out of this mess. Curses!

[Tom]

Soooooo I am doing the slogan. And this is my first draft if you will.

"A job worth doing is worth PENEDOing together"

sigh Dear god please let one team suck much much more than us.

Round 2:

A Prosperity and Enjoyment Nirvana, where Everyone Derives Optimism

Jesus KMN. My survival depends on this one stupid line SMH FML.

[Tom]

Oh. Challenge gut feeling prediction thingy #3

We are ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, DEFINITELY and CERTAINLY NOT coming in first place.

Day 7:

Caught up with Varner today and he tells me that last round's vote was very much a case of Varner and Chelsea feeling like they couldn't trust an Osten vote and wanted to survive. I don't really believe him a 100% and some of the things he says are a bit weird and give away the fact that he is in a comfortable spot with people now. I am still really worried that my ass is gonna be in the hot seat if we lose. Especially because I am not gonna be the biggest contributor to this challenge. Varner says the state of the team isn't cut and dry but I think it is. There's Osten and Sierra on one side. Together. There is me on another side. All alone. Of course Sierra likely has a good bond with Chelsea and probably even Varner. I'd like to think I have a good connection with Chelsea. But if push comes to shove, I can't expect her to save me and alienate 2 players, one of whom COULD be voted out and the other will remain in the game - pissed off with a swap on the horizon. Basically I am still hoping for a win or an idol this round because as much as I like these guys and how much I think they like me, my situation and standing in the tribe is pretty screwed up.

[Tom]

A prosperous and effervescent nirvana where each delights in optimism

[Tom]

I really really really really really really don't wanna lose this challenge.

Day 8:

I have a sinking feeling man. I feel like I am toast.

[Tom]

So I guess I "officially" offered Chelsea an F2?? IDK. This part of it has always been a little weird to me. I just say stuff like "I will never write your name down" or "I want to work with you" I almost never throw out explicit numbers. But Chelsea told me "Lets make this F2 happen". I am taking that as a good sign cause I need anything I can get atm.
Had a decent chat with Varner. Gave him my word and said I have wanted to work with him and what not. He agreed and hoped we could continue the same way into a swap. It felt very clunky tbh and not as organic as I thought it would. But the good thing about him is he is a jokester. Funny man. I like that. Humor is so underrated and underutilized imo. So at least I have something going on on that front.
Its disappointing that Osten and Sierra don't even want to talk to me. I mean I guess it is expected of Osten. I wrote his name down. But IDK what I did to Sierra that she doesn't even seem interested in talking. Oh well. Can't keep everyone happy.
