Love this board. This game looks amazing. So stoked that I signed up for it! As of right now, I only know one person upon joining, and she's on the other tribe. She plays Kelly Sharbaugh. Love her. I hope she lasts on her tribe and we can sometime soon work together. Until then, I'm going to have to make some connections with the people on my tribe. Todd PMed me last night already, excited that there was another China person in the game, and said that if we ended up on the same tribe, that he'd watch my back, so I agreed to watching his. He seems really nice, so I feel like I can trust him down the line. I'm just nervous about putting my trust in the wrong people. I don't want to be an early boot at all. I atleast want to be on Jury!

I got on AIM and added the people that have given their screennames so far. I talked to Jenn for like two seconds, and she was like, "I'm busy, in another challenge." And I was like, "Okay, i'll talk to you later then," and she just went "ttyl". I don't know. It kind of felt like the cold shoulder, and she definitely didn't make a good first impression. I already don't like her. I just also think it's weird when people play deceased characters, etc. RIP, Jenn Lyon. But that's just me. I'm talking to Joel right now and he, on the other hand, is really ~awesome! I'm definitely liking Joel, and I feel like if him and I just keep on talking and whatnot, then we'll definitely be in some sort of alliance deal eventually in the game.

As of right now, even though I haven't spoken to most of the tribe yet, I definitely want Jenn out right now. Terrible first impression, and I dislike her a good deal.

So this round was pretty great. The tribe won, which meant that I was safe, Todd was safe, and James was safe. I was glad that we managed to pull out the victory. We were all on and ready to go, and that was was just great. It's clear to me that Tortola is the tribe that's going to completely rule the merge at this point. I mean, let's be realistic. Tortola is pretty much the whole package right now. Full of dominance! So, I'm happy with my alliance right now. Todd and James are really cool. I still don't like Jenn. She annoys me now. It's that whole first impression thing, and she'll never be completely liked by me as long as she and I are in this game. Joel, is on the decline. I feel like he's trying to take the leader role on the tribe and it comes across as irritating. It's constant this, constant that, focus now, focus later. It's like, shut up for once. He's really like the Dave (from China).

I got to talking to Eliza, and I like her alot. She and I are both huge Bad Girls Club fans, so we spent like 2 hours today talking about BGC and the new season, as well as all the old ones. It was fun. Definitely one of those conversations that leave a good mark on you for the rest of the game. I like Eliza alot, and I'm sure if she and I keep talking, we'll be in good. The other person I've started speaking to alot is Parvati. I like her so much too. She's a really cool chick, and I can see myself working with her too possibly. We talk about personal stuff, like our day, etc, instead of game stuff sometimes, and when you have someone like that in a game, it keeps you sane sort of. It's not constant "oh my god, oh my god .. panic, who are we voting out," or "We need to post for the challenge right now or else!" etc. Parvati is definitely a breath of fresh air and I'm really glad she's on my tribe.

I haven't gotten to know Ethan yet. I want to, but just haven't had a chance.
