 Well hello world! It's your handsome, dashing, charming, and most importantly humble, Jeremiah Wood. I am here to slay, and play this game to the best of my ability. I am ready to rumble, and not crumble, I am ready to rock this jungle. Get ready viewers, cause this game is gonna knock your socks off! (I will also stop rhyming so much as I will annoy my ole little southern self.) To translate the above.... #pumped! |

Let the fake smiles & obligatory hello's begin!  Let the games begin! It's time to say hello, how are you, nice to meet you, yada yada, and try to feel each other out. So far I have had a chance to talk to everyone on my tribe but Jaclyn & Cirie, although I dont think anyone has spoken to Cirie yet. She hasn't been on to talk to. I think she may have gotten lost on the way to camp, which is alarming... Maybe shes out looking for an idol already? Who knows. Easy vote unless she shows. The people I like so far are Aras, Kelly & Tyson. They are just people who are easy to talk to. Rudy is outgoing in the group chat, but I am having a hard time connecting with him, so I will have to work on that. Nick is someone as well who I can talk with, so moving closer to him will be necessary for my social game as well. When Jaclyn & Cirie show I will also be speaking with them. My social game needs to be on point. I don't want to be super in your face and become a threat, but I want to be in people's minds as a nice guy and someone they want around. The mole twist might screw me over as I dont know who it is. I hope they screw up and out themselves somehow, but my game is to play on, see who I can trust, but trust no one until proven. This way I can see where I sit with people. It may be a bit more difficult now, but I will take it one step at a time. I really enjoy getting to know people, and before this challenge I want to get to know people on a personal level and then talk game. Talking game too quickly can get you taken out as a threat. People want to be seen as people first, and then you can use that to move them around the board as a piece in your game. Not too quickly as they will despise you when they see it, but not too late or someone will grab them first. I want to be the chess master, not the game piece. Although I don't want to jump into game mode too quickly, I do want to gain some safety. Unless Aras is trying too hard to cover being the mole, he seems like a good guy who wants to play the game. I asked him for an alliance, to partner up, and form an dynamic duo. Am I going to bet on this the whole game, yes, IF he can be loyal to me. If I get any doubts I won't feel too bad giving it up to move into a more powerful alliance. I need to position myself in a place where I can move forward, and not have anyone drag me down. I will remain loyal, but I need to know I am doing it for people who are in it with me, and not someone who will screw me over, especially with the twist. I am going to still scope people out, pick up the personal stuff, talk game, and move on. Lets get this show on the road! |

 So, with this challenge, I was able to catch someone... It was kind of pure luck to be honest as I has just happened to check and Alec was going. Before the challenge I whispered into Aras' ear about adding some more people to the alliance. I told him I liked Kelly & Tyson, he mentioned Nick, and then he went and asked them if they wanted to join forces and make an alliance of 5. Now, why do this? Well, if any other the 3 who just joined us are the mole, I don't want to look like the one who planned it and put it all together. I don't want to look like the one running the show. I want to be seen and known but not heard right now. There is a time and place for everything. I also want to look approachable in case anyone else has ideas for an alliance, and they can now include me in them if they swap because I am not the "leader" of one, but Aras is. Worst situation in this is scrambling happens and Aras is left out, but I am included which isn't bad for me. I still want to have my hand in things, but I don't want to be caught doing it. I am playing slowly, cautiously and leaving as many options open as I can. I dont want to shut doors. I am staying social and seeing where it takes me. Rudy also mentioned wanting to work with me, so I will use that as another branch if necessary. I have been getting to know people on a personal level, but now it is starting to switch to game. Let the fun begin! It looks like a tribal is in my future, which would suck right out of the gate. |

There isn't too much to really relate here. I don't truly trust anyone, but I am going to be working with them. I also am agreeing with every stupid mole theory to make people feel better. It also helps them to think I am just all looks and no brains as I nod and agree. To the mole, I am not onto you yet, but I don't believe anything you say.
I am just trying to gain actual connections with these people, but it is sometimes tough. Rudys old man character is getting old, and I cant have an actual conversation with him. Entertaining? yes. Useful for me? no. He needs to snap out of it.
It's now off to Tribal Council where I hope this is an easy vote. I guess we will see. |
