I am SO glad to have won immunity this round!! I worked my butt off for it. Well, not as hard as Anthony. He's a nice guy, and I can see myself working with him, but I can't help but wonder why he's going all out with these first two challenges. He can say all he wants that the odds of winning immunity are so different in one big tribe than if we were on two separate tribes, but he's putting a huge target on his back already. And people are noticing it. I am also slightly worried that I will be perceived as a threat going forward due to my performance in the immunity challenge, but thankfully I have him to overshadow me. Part of the reason for keeping my immunity necklace and giving up a chance at my second HII shard was for that same reason. Without immunity, people might see me as a threat for having two shards already and use that information to get me voted out. So in that regard, I think I made the right decision. I was also not as social as I would have liked over the weekend due to business in my real life, and then when I sat down to do the challenge I did not go on AIM so that I could fully concentrate on the tast at hand. While I do believe that I have formed some solid bonds, I wasn't comfortable enough to go to tribal without the immunity that I had worked so hard for.
When I left last night, people were saying that the two names they'd been hearing were Alicia and Angie, with people leaning toward Alicia. Between those two I would have preferred Angie, but I guess the vote has now switched to Michael due to his insistance on changing the vote to Shawna. While I have talked to Michael quite a bit and even thought about possibly aligning with him, I can tell he is sneaky and apparently so can everyone else. It is peculiar why he wants to save the people who everyone wants to vote off for being inactive. Penner even mentioned the possibility of a pre-game alliance, because he could think of no other reason why Angie was saved last time. I was part of that decision, so I kinda brushed off the pre-game alliance thought, although it is possible that if there really is a pre-game alliance the members of it could be doing a really good job at covering it up. Regardless, people have caught on to Michael and Jen told me via PM that there was a group chat last night after I left with many people now wanting to vote off Michael. I am still getting that vibe from people today while talking to them on AIM, so although Michael is not my ideal vote at this time I do believe he will be getting the majority of the votes so I plan to go along with the majority. He is not someone I expected to last in this game anyway, so the placement of him and some of these other girls really does not matter that much to me. If I had the final say, they'd all be getting the boot over the next few rounds and I don't particularly care in what order.
