The game has apparently started, but I don't have a tribe yet. Not sure what to expect for this challenge tonight. I am definitely nervous, but I'm hoping I can take care of business and beat out the other puzzlers.
I guess the real gameplay hasn't started yet. I gotta survive this challenge first.

Whooo! I survived the first challenge! It was very nerve wracking, but I am relieved to be in the actual game phase. I didn't think I would be here for the challenge, but I managed to do my part, now I hope the rest of my tribe can pull through, so we can win this!
My tribe seems cool. I've only really talked to Yau-Man though. Seems like a nice guy. I'm not sure how important alliances will be early, since there seems to be a fair amount of more inactive people. I hope that will buy me some time to get to know the tribe, and make some friends.

What do you think of your tribe Shane?

My tribe has been really cool so far. We all pulled through at the challenge, which required everyone, so it was awesome to see us win. However, my tribe seems pretty quiet. Not a lot of talking going on. I'm hoping that's the case for everyone at least. No one has made themselves a target early. So our first tribal will be interesting. Even though everyone seems cool, someone will have to go eventually.

Immunity callenge number three under way. I'm a little worried about losing actually. I feel like our tribe is more active than the other tribe, but it seems like we are moving slowly.
If we lose, I am also worried about going home. I haven't established an alliance yet. Not a lot of people are talking, and not a lot of people stay online for very long. Hope I can survive!

When I said I was worried about winning this challenge, I was apparently lying because we are waaaaaaaaaaay ahead. Whooo!

Well, we just keep winning challenges, which is totally awesome. However, I worry about a tribal switch coming up, or perhaps a double tribal. Either way, I'm sure I won't avoid tribal for much longer. I'm starting to feel a little safer because everybody has been saying that no one is really talking. Not sure what else to say because not a lot is going on. Just cruising through the game right now with Zeapore dominating.

Zeapore is going to have to face its first tribal soon. Right now I stand solid with Stephen and Corinne. We aren't sure on who to target. Eliza has been helpful in the challenges, so she is valuable. Yau has been reasonably active, around the same amount as Sierra. Jonathon has been kind of a mystery, he helps in the challenges, but doesn't talk a lot. Jonathon might have to be our target because we don't know anything about him. For all we know, he could be working the game without Stephen, Corinne, or I knowing. For now, he seems like the target. The problem though, is that We only have three. I think I have a good rapport with Yau, so I think either I can pull him into our alliance, or maybe convince him to vote with us without having to commit with him to a four person alliance. I am apprehensive about tribal. I feel reasonably safe, but some things have to go right to survive. First things first though, I want to win immunity, but I suck at that game.

How do you think the merge will go at this rate? Zeapore domination or will it be every man for himself?

At this point it is tough to say. After we face tribal it will become clearer. Right now I'm not sure if there is an alliance that opposes Corinne, Stephen, and me within Zeapore. If there is such an alliance, then the merge may bring trouble for us. If the other members of Zeapore haven't organized, then I think Zeapore can dominate pretty well.
Either way, I won't feel entirely safe even if Zeapore has the majority at the merge.

The game has been thrown for a loop a little bit. I was fortunate enough to end up with a majority in terms of old Zeapore against old Singand.
Eliza sent me a PM pretty much as soon as the switch happened ensuring that old Zeapore would stick together. This makes me think that maybe she started panicking when the switched happened. She could have has an alliance with SIerra or Jonathon or something that she lost with the switch. She seems to be on board with sticking to old Zeapore. At least I hope so.
Yau-man is currently MIA. I am kind of worried that he will not vote and therefore receive a self vote, which would hurt old Zeapore when the vote comes out, possible creating a 3-3 scenario. Yau-man has no past votes, which might help save him in a tie, but it is still worrisome that he hasn't been responding to PMs.
Corinne has been supporting sticking with old Zeapore this whole time. I have no reason to doubt that she is on my side.
Eliza, Corinne, and I have decided to vote for Rob. I really hope Eliza is sticking to that at least. We need her on our side in case Yau-man does in fact receive a self vote. Rob has PM'd me a few times. He says he was on the outs over at Singand, and that he was the next to go. My gut tells me that he is lying, and he is trying to get us to spare him. I told him I was gonna protect him. I also hinted that he should vote for Eliza, hoping that he doesn't vote for Yau, or me for that matter.
I am actually quite worried about this vote, even with having a majority in favor of old Zeapore.

Yau-man has shown up. Very good news. He says he has voted for Rob, so if no one is lying we have four votes for Rob. If he doesn't have an HII, then he will go home, and we will be fine.
I also just realized that Stephen won immunity over at Singand, which is also good because for now, the alliance of Stephen, Corinne, and I is still alive.

Part of me wishes I never got see Rob's confessional now because this HII clue is driving me crazy! The worst part of it is, someone else might already have it...
New Zealand, Tribal Council, talking, Kelly...
I figure it's the first eSurvivor season, New Zealand, something to do with a tribal involving Kelly...
ugh...

SO Jonathon and Eliza both fail pretty hard. Hopefully Jonathon voted this time around. If he does, we should be okay. I'm pretty sure at least Ozzy has at least one clue to the HII, which is why I shared the clue with Corinne. Hopefully she will be able to figure something out. As long as we have control of the idol, we should be okay.

The target could be Jonathon this time around. Stephen told me he got a special power during the auction that allows him to nominate two people at tribal. I hope he isn't BSing me. Either way, he wants to get rid of Jonathon this week cause he's useless, then he will use his power next week to get rid of a Singand. I kinda don't want to go along with this. It might open up opportunities to work with Amanda, but Stephen could be working on the same thing. Right now Corinne, Stephen, and I could make a smooth run to the final 3, but Amanda is fighting hard to get in the way. I kinda want her gone now so that we don't have to worry about her anymore. I hope Stephen isn't under Amanda's influence in this plan. Also, I don't think Corinne is going to go along with it because Stephen already told her that he got nothing in his box from the auction. He told me not to tell her about it, but I don't see a way for her to go along with this without knowing that.
