First off, I wanna say that I love the fact that Proboards gives you the toolbar for posts! My confessional would be so bland without it because I never would have figured to use any type of coding to change the color to even center what I'm writing! So whoever created that, thank you! I am honestly so excited that I got picked to play! This game looks like it's going to be so much fun!! I think I've talked to about half the cast so far that has checked in. I've talked to: Brenda, Brianna, Jen, Ace, Michael, Yau Man, & Courtney. Everybody has been super nice so far but of course I have my favorites. The two girls I've talked to the most are Brianna and Brenda. Brenda I've learned is a High School student that lives on the west coast somewhere in a town where the majority of her High School is African American. She's also in another All Stars game called Survivor All Stars States or something like that which shows that she must be a good player in order to have been picked for an All Stars game! Kinda intimidating in a way, I'm definitely wondering how I'm going to do with all of these seasoned players. Brianna I know is from Australia, she's currently living in Brazil and she constantly talks about how spoiled she is. I Despite that though, she's super fun to talk to and easy to get along with. I at first wondered if maybe Brianna on the show was like that and that's why she was acting like that to stay in character but I don't remember much of that season of the show. Brianna made a comment to me about how we should be the first lesbian showmance, but I'm definitely more into boys than girls. I can see myself working with Brianna because we get along so well, and snuggling at night to keep warm; but other than that I don't think so. I'm definitely a girl that likes to flirt with boys and, last I checked she definitely was not a boy. Michael is really nice. He's always flirting with me and even admitted that he hopes that we're on the same tribe together. If we are then that could be an advantage to me since he already seems to like me. Other than that he seems to be kinda quiet and doesn't talk a whole lot, but sometimes silence is golden. Especially when guys are really cute to look at but really dumb when they talk. Not that Michael falls into that category but from the amount that I have talked to him I don't know enough yet to make a judgement. My conversations with Jen, Yau Man, and Courtney didn't last long. Jen seemed a bit boring to me and wasn't every talkative but I'm hoping that changes in the future when I talk to her again. Yau Man was a little weird when I talked to him, but maybe that's because he's old! It wouldn't surprise me any, but for now I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just tired and needed to get some sleep. I have a feeling my conversation with Courtney didn't last long because she was putting her son to bed, so that's understandable. I haven't come right out and told anybody that this is my first game ever. I feel like if I do that I'd have a huuge target on my back! I mean they all know what they're doing and how to play the game and how to manipulate people, whereas I'm kinda in the dark on that. While I'd like to believe that somebody would be nice and show me the ropes, but I also know that this is a game and like any other game that people play; they're usually in it to win it. So for now whenever somebody asks me if I've ever played in this series before, my answer is obviously no. Which is the truth, but it's not the whole truth. Another strategy of mine is that whenever somebody mentions something to me about another game they're playing or another game that they're in I ask all the right questions about it for a long enough period of time or comment on what they said and then let them change the subject without ever having to volunteer any information on my past game history. I"m sure it won't always work like that but at least it has so far. I'll probably have to come up with a new way to get around that at some point but for now this is what works for me. I'm really excited for this game to officially start! I'm hoping I get onto a good tribe with some good people that I can work well with and that don't try to vote me out too soon. I've tried to be super nice to everybody even though that can be hard, especially when they make some sort of idiotic comment. But then again, that's probably what I'll use my confessional for; to rant about all the idiotic comments that they do make.

Oh! And I have to say that I hope the person that decided to play as Colton is not as bad as the real one. I can't stand Colton on the show, I tend to have to mute my TV whenever he talks. I just hope this Colton isn't like that! ;D

OMG, ya'll are so nice! Thanks for the encouragement. <3
I do think that being new could help me in the long run. If I've never played with any of 'em before, and I haven't fought with any of 'em and they don't know who I am; then what reason would they have to not like me? Well of course unless I do something to 'em that makes them hate me in this game.

Heidi last season was new to Survivor games and she placed second, and I was new to this series and placed third. Sometimes new blood is much more appreciated

Hey Chelsea!! So happy someone signed up as her! Although you will have to live up to my expectations... she is my favourite castmember on the current season after all no pressure or anything haha I love that you are new! New ppl can have the best of luck (my first ever org i placed second as well haha) I think you will do great. Is there anyone you really like right now? possible allies that you can work with? And how do you feel about the game-start? same beach. one world. must sound a little familiar. or is it? Good Luck!

I'm going to try to do my best to live up to the original Chelsea! She's my favorite too, JP.
My favorites right now are Brenda and Brianna. I love Brianna because when we're talking she always gets my catty sense of humor. Brenda does too, but she has this innocence to her that's nice too. And a plus in their favor is we all find the same people annoying so far.
I like the same beach thing right now! It gives me a chance to get to know some of the people that I haven't had the chance to talk to yet. So far it seems a little bit similar to the current season of Survivor that's on TV, but based on your comment on is it really similar or not makes me think that there's way more to it this time! Either way, I can't wait. I bet it's going to be tons of fun!

The Story of the First Survivor Wedding!
Brianna decided to go to bed early, (silly girl!) so Brenda and Chelsea decided that since they don't like Colton very much that they were going to burn his socks. They soon realized that Colton hides his socks down his pants so that nobody can steal them in the middle of the night. Well, Brenda and Chelsea were most definitely not going to go there so they started talking to Crystal; who they also did not like. They found Crystal kinda boring and desperate and not very fun to be around. So they decided to convince Crystal that by getting Colton's socks out of his pants that that may turn him straight and he'd fall madly in love with her! Well Crystal thinking she may not be able to attract anybody else, she decides to do it.
Chelsea and Brenda instantly begin to plan their wedding. They decide, that they will create Crystal's wedding dress (which would not be very pretty). Chelsea decided that they would get to be the bridesmaids, and they would be the most gorgeous bridesmaids that Kalahari had ever seen! As soon as the rest of the castaways saw Brenda and Chelsea in their gorgeous dresses, they all forgot about the ugly couple of Crystal and Colton. The rest of the night CHelsea and Brenda stole the show with their good looks and charming personalities as they got to catch the bouquet, cut the cake and take over the dance floor until the reception ended.

I am so glad that I actually did the whole theater thing in High School, at least I know how to act like I know what I'm doing around everybody. I never thought that all those school plays would come in handy! I'm closest to Brianna and Brenda. We have like this Three Musketeers thing going on. Brenda called us the Black Widow Alliance at one point. But we'll see if that name actually plays out to mean anything. The funny thing is, Brianna thinks I'm closer to her and Brenda thinks I'm closer to her. I'm not sure which one I'm closer to. Only time will determine that I think, but for now I'll let them both think whatever they want to. Michael also thinks that I have some thing for him. He's been constantly flirting with me and when he messaged me on the board he made the subject line "Hey Goddess." I won't object to all the compliments and the flirting because I love to flirt! But is he my number one ally in this game? Probably not. I mean, I do trust him but he's not somebody that I'm going to go to right away for everything. But having him on the side won't hurt. So far this vote doesn't seem too bad. Last night when I went to bed we were planning on just voting for Angie and Sash since they both had self votes against them. Now that Angie has given her reasoning for not doing the challenge and no longer has the self votes, we're going to vote for Sash and Crystal. As far as I know, the idea for voting for Crystal was Michael's idea. He's the one that messaged me about it. And since Crystal gives me the creeps, I'm totally fine with it. When I told Brenda about it she wasn't originally all for voting for Crystal and wanted to possibly target Penner instead. But that's kinda risky if you ask me. I mean, I saw Penner on AIM once which means he may have been on more often just when we weren't on. So what if he somehow has some secret alliance that we just don't know about? It's not like people are going to come right out and say "I'm aligned with this person!" So rather than put a huge target on our backs we're just going to go for it. It is early yet though, the vote could change before the deadline. And if that happens I'm sure I'll be letting ya'll know all about it! But for right now the vote is for Sash and Crystal. In my opinion Sash is a total waste of space. He needs to just GTFO. And from what I've heard about Crystal, she's been super weird. She told Brenda on the first day that they should play some sort of head game with Michael. And that was before the first treemail was even up! Now who does that? Well, besides Crystal. No normal person would do that. Brenda and I have also decided that if you're going to be Asian, then you're going to have to be a cute Asian. And Kenny doesn't even fit into that category. So I would like to request a paper bag to put over his head. I'll turn him into a cute Asian that way by drawing one on the paper bag! It'll be perfect. Normally I wouldn't hold the cute Asian law against him but he's also socially awkward and hard to talk to so I'll make an exception this time.
