Round #004 ~ Journal Entries!

[Ashley Massaro]

Oh my god. It actually happened right now. Tortola actually lost to Anagana this round. I can't even believe it. I mean, congratulations to them for pulling out the victory, it was a real underdog win .. but I'm honestly in panic mode right now. Now it's going to be big time scrambling mode, trying to figure out to vote out int his tribe of 8. It's going to be insane to have to vote somebody out of this tribe, and I'm not looking forward to it. Also, with my alliance with Parvati? I have to find a way to get a name from her, run with it, take it to Todd and James, see if their cool with it, then go back to Parvati and be like, I spoke to so and so today, and they seem good with voting out so and so. That way it's not like she's in the alliance with James, Todd, and I really; we're all just using each other for a vote, because I honestly don't know how to incorporate her into the alliance. Ugh, I hate this.

I feel like my head is about to explode right now! I messaged Todd and James and asked them what we should do, what we should work with, who we should goto, etc. I also messaged Parvati separately and asked the same things. All I know, is at this point, I feel like I can only rely on those three. Maybe this vote will be easy and we can all just vote out Eliza for not being so active and being busy with midterms and everything. I really would feel bad about that though, because I genuinely like Eliza and she's a super cool person. Plus, it's not her fault she's stuck with horrid exams. If I had my way with this vote, I'd get Jenn out. I honestly can't stand her at all. Today in the challenge, she's all, "Oh, guess Parvati, Joel, and I aren't taking a tile then," like it was full of attitude. Like, slow your role. Don't even go there. I'm just going to have to dig around for some information and work some magic around this tribe and see if I can keep myself, Parvati, James, and Todd safe from the vote.

Love it. Keep up the amazing work.

Thanks, Luis. <33 But, I'm so happy that everything went according to plan and Eliza's gone. I mean, I'm not happy she's gone, I'm happy that it was no one I'm aligned with. We just have to win tonight's challenge, and I won't have to worry about anything. Because after Eliza going, it could be anyone going this time around. But then again, I could definitely push for a Joel vote, because he's been pretty MIA the past couple rounds on AIM, and everything. Hopefully he's okay, but he's been pretty distant from the tribe .. to the point where he should actually go.

I've also been trying to analyze and look into a few things here on Tortola. There are definitely other alliances on this tribe, but obviously, I'm just trying to figure out what they are. I actually think Ethan/Eliza maybe had some sort of friendship or alliance. My gut's telling me that they did, but at the end of the day, Ethan didn't want to risk anything so he just went and voted her out, and I'm sure she knew she was going home. As much as I hate to say this next one, I do feel like Parvati's aligned with some other people. Something just tells me that she's not only aligned with me, but one or two other people. I hate that, but again, it's just speculation.

I'm still going to trust her in addition to my China alliance, though. I feel like she may rank me higher than whatever other alliances she may have. But we'll just have to see. Other than that, just some floaters, and that's about it.
