Well, it's the beginning of the game, and already things are looking good, even though we didn't win the first Immunity Challenge...darn China women being active...
We're going to be voting out our only inactive, Chad, which means we'll truly be contenders for the next rounds...although with the China girls being like they are...I don't know.
Which is why I am scared of the whole kidnapping twist. If another tribe gets it, then it's certain death for whoever they choose to capture. I definitely don't want it to be one of my alliance members, and ESPECIALLY not me.
Speaking of which, currently I have a 4-way alliance with Rory, Travis, and JP. Which means, considering our alliance stays intact, we control the votes on the tribe.
Now for the OTHER 4 members of the tribe. Of course, the obvious first target is Chad. Chris contacted me wanting to work with me...which would be fine except he sent the exact same e-mail to Rory and probably the others. Brady hasn't contacted me yet and John K. talked to me, but not about any alliance. If necessary, I would say take out Brady first, then Chris, then John K....but we'll see.
So, my current situation with the other people are:
Alliance Members: Rory, Travis, JP
Immediate Target:Chad
Secondary Targets in Order: Brady, Chris, John K., All China Females
Other Targets: All Vanatu Females, All China Males

WEEK 2
Okay, that was supremely awesome! We were down so many times, but the Vanatu men pull it off and win immunity!
John K was definitely the MVP of the challenge. Not only was being from Australia a big help, he was able to stay on until like 7:00 in the morning his time AND got the idol back at the end to win the game for us. He's a very big asset to our team. I would even consider keeping him over one of our alliance members or even trying to get him to join our alliance. That's how good he is. Of course, there's one alliance person I would NEVER want to vote out...
And with that victory, we have become even with the China girls in terms of the number of members we each have, 7 a piece. If we go into a merge, (which we're probably not at this point) then we have the advantage against whoever we merge with, or, worst case scenario, tie if we merge with China girls. If we don't merge, if we win this next immunity challenge, we should have a huge advantage no matter what.
I also like the choices we made for the kidnapping twist, which, despite what I thought before, turns out to NOT be permanent. (thank goodness) Although, I sometimes wonder who it was that voted them. Because I didn't. Anyway, Ami definitely deserves to have immunity, based on how many times she stole the idol with her "invisible" text. Amanda was also very good in the challenge. And despite no one picking him, David was also a very good choice. Maybe not in other people's view, but in my view.
It turns out that I actually know David. I'm not going to talk to any of the kidnapped tribemates (yet), because info might slip out. But right now, it was good to keep him safe for a future alliance member some day...
With that, the Priorities Board has changed slightly.
Alliance Members: Rory, Travis, JP
Honorary Allaince Member (for now): John K.
Immediate Targets: Brady, Chris
Secondary Targets: All China Females
Other Targets (David last): All Vanatu Females, Most China Males, David

WEEK 3Well, it's the start of the challenge...and it turns out I'm sitting out for my tribe. On the one hand, I was chosen to be the unlucky "loser" and are currently no longer in control of my own destiny...like that's any shock, but that's a story for another time... But, on the other hand, this gives me a much-needed break from the challenges. Since our alliance is the dominant one in the tribe, it wouldn't really matter if we lost or not. Well, it does, but not so much. To me, anyway. Just hope the rest of Lopevi can win. And if the China women win against Vanatu women and we don't win, we as a group will be in trouble. I'll certainly post when the challenge ends, I just wanted to get this off my chest. I mean, come on, it was a 1 and 7 chance, and I get picked...(sighs) P.S. I'm not really angry, I tend to highly exaggerate things, sometimes for no reason  But then again, that's probably nothing to smile about... P.P.S. What is UP with girls like Mia and Jamie using like 20 posts in their confessionals and they haven't even started this challenge yet?? It's crazy...Guess they have a lot to say in their confessionals lol.

Continuation...
Haha, yes! The Vanatu people win at their own game. Which, can not work out any better for Lopevi. China women will lose another member and we will be up by at least 1 member against all of the other tribes. If we merge, and if we all stick together as Lopevi, then we have a good chance of staying alive.
We also have figured out the game strategy for kidnapping. We decided to take the inactives so that the other tribe has to knock out one of the active people, making them even weaker.
Now for something that concerns me. The announcement about a hidden Immunity Idol somewhere. It says it is somewhere in the camp. I've looked for it, and I can't find it whatsoever. That makes me wonder something. Are there 4 seperate hidden immunities and someone from our tribe has already found it? Or is there only 1 hidden immunity and one of the other tribes has it? It just means that we should be more cautious with voting.
But for right now, some slight changes in the Priorities Board. I consider John K more of an alliance member than John P. now, especially since Travis suggests me, Rory, Travis, and John K. I agree for right now, but I need to be cautious. With that immunity idol out there, anything could happen.
CONSIDERING NO MERGE
Alliance Members: Rory, Travis, John K.
Somewhat Alliance Member: JP
Immediate Targets: Brady, Chris
Secondary Targets: All China Females, All Vanatu Females

What? No, I am. In fact, the only reason they're bigger targets at the moment is because they're doing better than the men lol. Well, the China men anyway. |

WEEK 4
Wow! Despite having 7 people on our tribe, we STILL pull off a better average than those with less people and win the challenge! There's just no stopping us!!
Well, actually, there might be. The fact that the 4 tribes will soon become 3. Also, the poll scares me. Who knows what it could be? But one thing's for sure. We decided on Chris for that. He's definitely not the strongest. But...whether it's chosen that he will swap to another tribe, be chosen for the new tribe captains, or not allowed to compete for the next challenge, we'll be golden. Personally, I think he will be the only one to compete in this next challenge. Which is bad, but I think we should still be good.
On another note, 4 karma? How? Who did that? Could it be...hmm...
And also, almost no new changes...although, Chris has moved up in targets. But I'm sure that will change after this challenge...
GO LOPEVI!
Alliance Members: Rory, Travis, John K.
Somewhat Alliance Member: JP
Immediate Targets: Chris, Brady
Secondary Targets: All China Females, All Vanatu Females (because they have more)
Other Targets (David last): Most China Males, David
P.S. I'm not wanting to take out the females first because I'm a sexist, Parvati...they have more people. I would put China Males first if they had more.

WEEK 5
(After he's been picked to go to Zhan Hu)
(sighs) This cannot possibly get any worse...I get on the one tribe where I have absolutely no alliance friends whatsoever. What's even worse is that the people on the other tribe all have their own alliances. The alliance of the ORIGINAL tribes. That means there's a mini Zhan Hu alliance, a mini Yasur alliance...hell, even, heaven forbid, a mini Fei Long alliance! But no. No Lopevi people whatsoever. None. I'm the only one. I'm the odd one out. Period.
I'm chosen to be the "unlucky" loser. Again. Like that's any shock...again...
So, new battle strategy. Win every single immunity challenge from now until the next merge. That's it. Nothing simpler than that. Win, and I live to fight another day. Lose just once...and I die.
I'll update once the challenge ends. Right now, I don't really feel like talking any more...

How do you like that? A drawing / posting challenge.......I can't draw to save my life, and as far as posting goes, if one person doesn't do it, then we lose. What's worse is that that one person could not do the challenge to take me out of the challenge. (sighs) Okay, Brook, breathe, focus...
And WHO smited me?! Oh when I find them, they are so dead!
(sighs) Okay, Brook, breathe, focus...
(BTW, I'm not all THAT mad, but being excessively mad helps me blow off some steam)

Continuation
...wow...just wow...I completely misread my position on the tribe...I thought that since I was outnumbered in many ways (only Lopevi member, one of few males, one of few Vanatu people) that I would be an easy target to get out. Actually, it's quite the opposite! I was offered an alliance by both Frosti AND Mia.
First, Frosti wanted me to join the Zhan Hu male alliance, which I agreed to immediately, because, well, I was desperate. He had a feeling that the girls were going to come after us. But, that still didn't make me feel any better. I could still easily be eliminated if we lose the challenge.
And THEN came the buff making. I thought my life here was over. No one else could be able to make it and apparently it was all up to me. Great. Luckily, Frosti was able to do it himself after all...which turns out, didn't even matter anyway, because we would have won the challenge either way.
Then Mia came to me saying that the Vanatu people should stick together. When asked, she said that Frosti told her that he wants to go after either Courtney or Denise. I also heard that Courtney and Denise wants to go after Mia. So it looks like Frosti, Chicken, Mia, and Ami are working together with me for right now. Works for me, lol...
Of course, I have no idea whether either side is planning to backstab me...especially since I found out afterwords that Frosti is (WHOAMG SPOILERS!) and Chicken is (HOLY CRUD, WHAT IS THIS?!). And since I found out that they are (DON'T SPOIL, JERK HOLE!) and I found I hate them...I want to destroy them as soon as possible. They are NOT getting Final 2...but, I'll have to work with them for now.
It's go time!
Immediate Alliance Members:
---Zhan Hu Vanatu Alliance: Mia, Ami
---Temporary Zhan Hu Men Alliance: Frosti, Chicken
Main Alliance Members (for now): All Former Lopevi Members
Immediate Targets: Denise, Courtney
Secondary Targets: Some Yasur Members (Erik, Amanda, Jamie), Some New Lopevi Members (Scout, Peih Gee) (Due to hearing from Rory that they don't have any they want to get rid of now)
Other Targets: Leann, Dave, Eliza
