Cody's Point ~ Round #2

[Cody Calafiore]

Hello

[Cody Calafiore]

This challenge is going to be a fucking disaster. We started out with a pretty simple idea -- either doing the hunger game or some sort of like murder mystery shit. The murder mystery bit was Dustin's idea, and it was honestly a pretty decent idea. But like...Tim man. Tim decided to just take control of the creative direction we went in the challenge and it was just fucking AWFUL.

Him and Tiff suggested that we do a like Mario Kart theme? Like, the entire story was just doing races and I was like...NOO!! That would've been TERRIBLE!! Like, we would've been guaranteed a loss if we did that. We eventually came up with this story about how we're going to be transporting through different TV shows and getting eliminated that way. I dunno...it can be cute but I'm not too sure how it'll come out.

The silver lining though is that Tim is starting to get on people's nerves with how he's acting. He's pretty set on the story going his way, and he was pretty much ignoring everyone else's ideas. Which like is NOT the way to go about challenges. It's bad enough that someone feels the need to take the controlling role. It's even worse when someone takes that controlling role and does a BAD job.

And while this is normally a bad thing...SURPRISE, I really want Tim out of this game. So if he starts pissing people off, then that'll just be great for me. Dustin was fucking PISSED at how Tim was acting, and I could tell it was genuinely stressing him out. Holly was pretty confused and frustrated with Tim's direction of things as well.

And of course, the reunion with DUSTIN was sweet. I do really enjoy talking to hi, and I've definitely missed our conversations a bit. He told me about the idol clue -- it's very specific and it means that I could probably end up finding it. I'd love to have an idol this early on because I am going to be a bit AWOL next week, so it'd be cool to have a layer of safety if I need it. But the fact that Dustin told me about it and was super transparent about his time at exile was nice and reassuring. I do trust him 100% right now, and I'm pretty sure he eels the same way about me.

After that, the whole charade about getting him into my alliance with austin/nat happened. I told Dustin right away that the alliance was a thing and that I wanted Dustin in it as a fourth. But Dustin was like INSISTENT on Austin and Nat being the ones to ask him about the alliance, and not have me the one to just get it over with. I think a lot of this played into how stressed Dustin was during the whole round. Anyway I got fed up waiting for Natalie and Austin to tell him, so I just told Natalie to ask him about the alliance and...boom, the rest was history. We're now an alliance of four, we have an alliance chat. Assuming none of us go to exile, us four will have majority.

That's a big assumption though. There's a 50% chance one of us will go to exile and tbh I would not MIND if it was me. I'd like to be able to get a clue to either the exile idol or get another clue to our idol. For now though, I'm gonna try to crack our idol with the clue I have, and probably ignore this challenge until late when we figure out what the fuck we're doing.

Tim is literally so infuriating. I'm doing the last part of this story and I need everyone's parts done before I can really start. So I tell the tribe I have work until 6 and he complains that I'm "cutting it close"

Like I can't just skip work bitch! What did he expect me to say "oh yeah you're right, sorry I'll just call out sick to write because you fucking assholes can't coordinate a story before this" Fuck no.

I want to vote him out but I don't think that'll happen. I'll write about the events of yesterday later today.

Sooo....wrap up of yesterday (now two days ago oops)

BASICALLY it was a pretty quiet day of just general challenge procrastination. I was at the mall, and then I came back from a bunch of messages from Dustin and Holly. Basically, the two of them had some tuffle that resulted in Holly revealing to Tiffany about the "model alliance" that Holly made.

Now, this should totally be a problem right? One, it creates a solid tangible connection between Dustin and me. It's hard for me to make the claim that I'm not really close with Dustin when we were literally in a D1 alliance. Furthermore, it creates a reason to pin me as sketchy. Being in an exposed alliance is always bad news.

But I'm not...too worried? Dustin and I did the smart thing and told Austin and Natalie about the alliance after the blow up happened. Now, if it gets back to them...surprise, they already heard about it. It can't bite us in the ass.

It does give me a great excuse to vote Holly out too. She is totally a liability, and I can't trust her with any information now. That much is for certain. I also know that she told Dustin that she felt I wasn't very "genuine" whatever the fuck that means lmao. She also said that she felt that I was a "play dumb, play silent" type of player which is...surprisingly perceptive. That's something that scares me about Holly -- she KNOWS what's going on, and she's pretty good at reading people. She's a lot like Da'Vonne. Great at gathering intel, but not good at taking action.

So yeah, my target has shifted to holly. If I had to do a trust ranking right now it would be

Least
7. Holly
6. Tim
5. Vanessa
4. Austin
3. Natalie
2. Hot dogs
1. Dustin
Most

The reason why I have hot dogs pretty high up is mostly because I think he trusts me. He told me he doesn't really connect with anyone else and while it could all be a ruse...I dunno. I'm willing to believe him. He had the balls to tell me that he thought dustin and I were "secretly close" which really scared me. But on the bright side, it's cool that he felt comfortable enough to tell me altho he was probably on drugs.

Anyway idk. gonna chill for a day.

A note that I will be leaving to go to the beautiful WASHINGTON D.C over this next week and probably won't post a lot of confessionals. I'll try to get mini updates in throughout the week but unfortunately won't post anything too in depth
