First off, I'd like to say that I LOVE my tribe. We're a smart group, and I'm on good terms with all of them. It's great! Here's what I think of each one individually:
Bitch - Ya I didn't make a typo. This guy is great, he's funny nice and I hope he lasts long in this game.
Jaime - Jaime is really friendly and we talked and it was nice, but I have no problems voting her out at anytime.
JR - JR and I had a long conversation and I must say he's a real stand up guy, but he's a little arrogant, I wouldn't mind blindsiding him at some point.
Kelly - Kelly is a total bitch and I hate her, just kidding. She's probably my closest ally in the game and one person I will most likely stick with all the way to the finals.
Shawn - Shawn and I have become really close and I consider him a good friend. I really hope to go a long way in this game with him.
Sugar - Sugar seems really sweet, but honestly I haven't really talked to her and at this moment would have no problem ousting her at a Tribal Council.
Taj - Similar to Sugar I haven't really talked to her, so nothing really happening there.
So we've won the first Immunity and we've won the second Immunity so we're pretty much on a roll. I'd love to pull a Koror and completly demolish the other tribe but odds are that won't happen, but in case we do end up losing, I feel pretty safe and I don't think I'll be getting voted off from this tribe.

Ok so last TC I got my way and Taj got voted off. Awesome. Hated her, she never talked to me, and she rolled her eyes when she got off. I mean she didn't even try to stay so she got what she had comming to her for sure.
Now onto this challenge. I got lucky, really lucky. I went in knowing I would pick #11, since my birthday is on the 11th and I was born in the 11th hours of that day, and I was gonna pick #13 cause it's "unlucky" ann then I decided to go with 12 cause it was just in between those. And I got the idol which was on #11. AWESOME!
I debated whether to keep it or not, but in the end I was like SCREW IT! I want the idol.
Before I decided though I talked to both Kelly and Shawn about it. I trust them the most in this game so they know I have it. We're gonna try to plant seeds that JR is the one who has it, but really it doesn't matter. I feel as though I'm in a good spot in this game. I have a lot of friends and now an idol.
So now onto this TC. Two people I have felt like I'm bonding with in this game is Jaime and Butch and now Kelly and Shawn want to vote off Butch this round. I really trust Butch so I don't want him gone. I'd much rather see Sugar go, but I really have no power cause Kelly and Shawn are voting with JR and Sugar, which over powers us 3. So I need to figure out a way to try and save Butch.

Ok so I want to start of with explaining why I didn't vote for Butch. It's not because I couldn't bring myself to vote for him. Honestly, him leaving isn't that bad. Sure I would have liked to have him in the game longer, but it really didn't matter. I just wanted to kind of have something to go with my persona as the good guy, yet massive strategist, so I wanted to come of as a good friend, and also kinda seperate myself from the tribe and Kelly and Shawn my allies.
Now for the tribe switch. I LOVE it! My new tribe rocks. Really this worked out perfectly for me. I really want to work of my social game and this was perfect. I got to build up my social game with JR, strengthen my alliance with Jaime, and meet Sydney, Brendan, and Colby.
Basically my strategy is to let Shawn and Kelly play there game and let me play mine. Right now I'm alligned with Jaime and Sydney, yes Sydney aka the reason we lost the challenge, and I've started talking to JR and even Brendan and Colby a little. You see, I know that no matter what Kelly and Shawn have my back, so they won't target me.
Basically each of my allies won't make the end game. It just won't happen, they don't have the majority. But although they won't make it I will, and I'll be making the finals, hopefully, with Shawn and Kelly. Shawn and Kelly by that point will come off as villains in the eyes of the jury, and I will come off as the underdog with a jury of friends, or enemies that hopefully respect my game.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, just for this Tribal Council, hopefully there will be a blindside and Colby will be leaving. Ya, shocking, I know, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This should be an exciting round.

That was very shocking to me that you were the one who told JR to use the idle ,too, Coach. And that enabled me and erins backup plan for if JR used the idle, to take place. Im curious about that too! I Do know you had a strong loyalty to JR though cause besides just this,you also refused to vote for him when he was voted off, so i think it was a loyalty think but you know best.

Basically that whole round was me trying to take Matty out, but it completly backfired and sucked.
