Well now that another day has passed, and since I know you hoes love rankings, let me rank my current tribe-mates by how much I trust them/want to work closely with them:
Nathan/Bodhi: Obviously had a special bond with this kid right off the bat. We haven’t had too much conversation today since him and I both worked and had a 6-hour span of birdwatching (wut). He is also strategic and smart, so I trust that we can work different sides of the tribes without either of us needing to talk to everyone.
That said, it is not lost on me that this guy has done well in his previous two seasons, is an experienced ORG player, and is probably one of the most charismatic people playing the game. How many people in these have stated they like this guy? And, given my own propensity for falling for charismatic experienced org players, only to then be betrayed, I should probably have some guard up, or at least a plan B.
Logan: Okay, 24 hours ago I would NOT have thought he’d be high up on my list, mostly because I had no idea where this guy’s head was at. But he reached out to me this morning and we’ve had great conversations today. I get good vibes from Logan – I think he’s very genuine and could see him being very loyal.
Anyone else getting JT vibes from him? The Southern twang and awkward head turns? Anyone??? Well I’ll be the Stephen to your JT Logan, sign me up daddy!
In the meantime, can one of you turn his awkward head-turn from the intro video into a gif? I need that in my life ASAP. If someone could send me that it would be great thx.
April: April and I have a bond, although I have not had any real in-depth conversations with her. She did, however, drop the hint that she likes talking to me, Logan, and Nathan. Sogreat, thanks for building a foursome! I have a feeling Nathan is doing a good job of talking me up. Or you know maybe he’s convinced everyone to vote me out and be nice to me. Which in that case, kudos!
Jenn: So I’ve reached out to Jenn and I like her a lot, but overall she’s laying low. Is that the vet ORGer thing to do? Lay low, amp up the volume in the middle, cut throats at the end? Yawn, you all have become predictable, which is why I’m telling the newbies to beware of those EXACT qualities.
My incentive to keep Jenn around, though, is that I don’t want the inexperienced ORG players to get the idea of just picking off all of the experienced ones (Given Jenn’s experience, she might as well be considered a Vet). Plus, I have zero reason to think she’s targeting me.
Jenn is also a two-time winner. Girl, that is a shield if I ever saw one. And let me say that Jake Stewart is entering this game with a lot of baggage and could use as many shields as possible.
Other Jake: I have nothing against Jake, I just have talked zero strategy with him. He is the first one, from what I hear, to start the grumblings of a target. And I’m aware that he pulled people into a side group that I’m very much not a part of. All that's to say: he’s playing a little too hard and may dig himself a hole. Also, of all the people to pull a “Let’s take out the vets” strategy, I could see him being the one.
My strategy right now is to play up the “Helpful Vet” role and hopefully be seen as transparent & trustworthy. No need to set targets, just going to make sure I'm not the target. I’m also trying to distance myself from being an "experienced" ORGer; remember, I’m the guy that’s only played a single ORG and didn’t do all that well. For all intents and purposes, I can straddle the newbie/vet line and ideally ride the middle later in the game.
I’m in a tough spot though because I KNOW Jordan is probably soiling the good name of Jake Stewart, possibly David too, so I sort of had to lay it all out there and let people know our history ahead of time before moving forward. Ideally, I can repair those relationships (with Jordan and David) so that I'm not a huge target for most of the game.
Alright peace xx

in me, her, and Logan. They're like the Taylor and Eddie from my last season, if Eddie was a sexy Floridian lesbian and Taylor was a bearded Southern man, which at times I thought they were.
