HOT DAMN IM EXCITED! I have literally been waiting forever for this. It has been over an entire year since I have last played an ORG and I have to say I'm super excited to get back into them. I might be a little rusty, but I still got the basics down. Right now, I'm ready to get this game going. The hosts are amazing although I still have a personal vendetta against Nikki cause I wanted to be her. She's just as catty as I am, but there's only room for one bitch. Anyway, I just started getting myself oriented into my tribe. I was one of the first people actively talking to my fellow tribemates since I was so excited. This can be considered a positive for my game because usually some of the first people you talk to in these games end up being close allies. I always shoot myself in the foot though because people always end up thinking I'm so fake or something like common people haven't you ever met a naturally born bitch before? Anyways, I think people like me except I'm pretty sure a couple of the people aren't liking my shenanigans and think I'm too out there (aka too fun) for them. They're just jealous of my livelihood and intant draw to people around me. I better start knocking on wood cause I can see this cockiness going downhill faster than you can say "this bitch wish for a kiss." Speaking of kisses, I was really looking forward to a showmance, but all the dudes on our tribe are old men who haven't shaved in awhile. I would kill to have Cody or Dustin on my tribe. Hopefully we meet up in the future because who wouldn't want to date Julia. I'm basically a babe. Regardless (wow my transition game is drawing blank), I am excited to get this game started.

OH AND AS FOR FIRST IMPRESSIONS ON MY TRIBE:
Ricky: TBA cause he never showed up so I hate him. Is he trying to make us lose?
Steuart (or however the fuck you spell it): Also hate cause he's basically as inactive as Ricky. Said he would talk to us on AIM today; liar liar pants on fire.
Burnie: Hot damn, the more I go through the guys on this tribe, the more I realize how much they're lacking. Burnie at least talked to me once, but I found him quite odd...and no, not the good kind of weird. Not yet cringeworthy, but we'll see if my feelings towards him change.
MacKenzie: By far, the best guy on this tribe, but based on the status of the other guys on this tribe and the fact that his name is really a girl name, it's not a very prestigious honor. Anyways, I've talked to him the most, but not even that much. Jeez, I am on the wrong tribe here, but like I've heard...nothing comes easy in EuroSurvivor. So I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.
Daniele: Also someone I haven't talked to a lot. Wow, the social game on this tribe is severely lacking. I'm usually chatting it up with like 80% of the tribe, but this tribe is looking to be a solid 25%. Don't really have a solid opinion on her yet, but seems nice. I feel like she might be a threat to me in the future though because she seems likeable and social. Oh well, too early to judge.
Carrie: Much better at talking than some people. She's probably the most similar to me on the tribe if I HAD to pick. We get along pretty well, but we don't talk that often. We have a lot of things in common so I'm hoping I can capitalize on it. Should be interesting to see where it goes.
Dorothy: DOROTHY HUI MY LADY TO BE. I literally love this woman so much solely because she talks! She talks a lot omg it makes me so happy. She is by far my #1 right now and I definitely want to work with her in the game. We are polar opposites but in a game where no one talks, I'll take what I can get PLUS opposites attract. My only concern is that she talks this much to everyone. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that if someone is talking to you a lot, it usually means you're not the only one. At this point, I need her on my side though and she seems loyal and like she likes me so I'll play dumb and hope for the best right now.
Shout out to Nikki and Katia for actually being active talkers I love you all.

THE HOSTS ARE KILLING ME!
I literally have the most absurd obsession with hidden immunity idols. I love them, I 'idolize' them, I need them. They are honestly the best thing that has graced the game of Survivor since season 11. That's why it makes me so upset when ORGs don't have idols in them. They literally screw people over... INCLUDING ME...and create drama, but I still love them. Anyways, as demonstrated in my previous ORG, I will go above and beyond to get the idol. I might not use the idol correctly, but be sure that I will obtain it. I'm only 300 password attempts in still going strong so I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best.
The upcoming twist on the challenge tonight is scaring the shit out of me. It could be good, but let's be real (this is katia and Nikki's game) so it's gonna be bad. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good twist, but if I get more screwed than I already am...oh well. It probably has something to do with an idol clue, which is why I will be there asap before everyone else. Maybe it will have something to do with people switching tribes or something which would be amazing for me since I could meet some more people. I've thought about it a lot and I honestly don't know. Good job hosts for freaking me out. I'll try to stay sheltered as long as I can so the hype doesn't come creeping on me. Anyways that's that and we'll see what happens.

I FORGOT SHELLI OMG! Shelli's pretty bae as well. Haven't talked a ton to her, but we hit it off with our mutual love of Shelli and Julia. Hopefully I can nurture the friendship and keep us bonded cause I would like for her to be a close ally of mine. Also, I've talked more to Burnie and he's still weird lmao. His awkwardness is sort of likeable though so hopefully it works out. ALSO! Steuart (still don't know how to spell it lol) finally showed up! He's actually pretty talkative so he's got that going for him. I think we could be good friends. ALSO ALSO! My suspicions about Dorothy were correct all thanks to Stu (just gonna call him that from now on). She is a stellar social player. Looks like Dorothy is talking to everyone! Along with Carrie and Burnie. I'm keeping an eye on all of them. Sure they're friendly, but considering Stu just logged on and he's already talked to all of them HOT DAMN!

UPDATE ON PEOPLE!
First of all, thank goodness my ass is not going to tribal council. At this stage in the game, people tend to vote based solely on first impressions and I feel as though I might come across a little strong. At least now I have some time to nurture my friendships with these people and get them to really trust me. As of now, alliances have not been very present and strategy has not been talked much obviously since we are exempt from tribal. IF there's one thing I've learned, it's that I am an aggressive person and need to relax more so what I do now is take a chill pill, talk to people, and let them come to me if they want something to happen...AND BAM! SOMETHING HAPPENED! Dorothy, my #1 girl comes walking up to me on the beach while I'm palm fronding, and says, "Yo Julie, wazzup mah girl, lettuce getta something going whatchu say spice spice?" So I vividly agree because she's my girl and we're gonna go far together (knock on wood for the 20th time this game). Anyway, our duo code names are DJ Hui and GG (for genius girl). It's a beautiful combination and our alliance name is the Bruxelles Babes. How much better could it get than that? Anyways, I know Dorothy's a chatter too, so she's probably got more connections than I do, BUT...I now realize that's actually a plus for me because now she is a bigger target than me for being a social player. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THREATS! It works for real survivor so it should here too right?
Brief intermission from my rant to talk about my tribemates:
Dorothy: #1 closest ally-hopefully sticks loyal through thick and thin. Burnie: Probably #2 ally right now, but that could change. Me and DJ Hui both like him so he would make a good addition to our alliance. Stu: I like his personality a lot, but isn't very active. If he gets on more, I would love to team up. Daniele: This girl omg. She is a beautiful heartful mother. She sucks at challenges thus far, but I don't want her gone. I'm Coach and she's my Edna. Anyways, hopefully we don't lose because I feel like people will want to vote her out as the weakest link, but if we make the merge together, she's a perfect ally since I can beat her at challenges. We'll see what happens. Shelli: Too busy canoodling with her guests visiting to talk to us which will probably hurt her in the long run. Haven't talked much with her, but still like her as a person. Mac: Very likeable and seems to be good at challenges. I'm keeping my eye on him. Ricky: Very good player so far socially and physically, BUT isn't on enough to warrant him a big threat in my eyes yet which is good. Carrie: MY BIGGEST THREAT! I think that we are too similar people. She is very outgoing and sociable. She is also a beast physically at challenges from what I've seen so far. We are playing too similar games and I don't want to be the one cut first. NOW, I'm not going to get tunnel vision and lose sight of the prize just to get her out because that'll ruin my game, but I am definitely watching her VERY closely. Also, she has been to exile which means she's my biggest competition to an immunity idol. I want the exile one and the tribe one so she better watch where she steps. Hopefully that's everyone! If I forgot someone, it means they aren't important enough to remember. I'm sure my reads on my tribemates will change frequently so be sure to check in daily! I'm probably wrong about half of them haha.
ALSO! It was my birthday yesterday in real life; however, in this game, my birthday is on August 11th. I tried to pick a date that I figured I could make it to and then once I get there, I can milk the date for all it's worth. It was hard not talking to Dorothy about my birthday, but whatever. I know it sounds stupid, but maybe people would be less likely to vote me out on my birthday??? It's worth a shot anyway.
The dumb immunity idol still remains password protected on my board to say the least. I've tried every possible thing I can think of no joke and it's killing me inside that someone else may have gotten it. All I can do now is sit back and wait for the next clue and hope no one else was smart enough to decipher it.
Finally, back to alliances. Although we haven't gone to tribal, it's always good to try to get a few people on your side that you can 'trust.' Obviously, Dorothy is my #1 who I trust the most that she won't screw me over when we go to tribal. However, I feel like if she wanted to get me out, there's no way she'd put this much effort into talking to me as much as she has especially considering jury hasn't started. So that's a plus. Another person we both seem to trust is Burnie and we're subtlely trying to gain his trust to join our alliance. On a tribe of 9, we need five to make a majority and that would only be three...so who else? Personally, I think Daniele would make a perfect addition. She is not a threat to any of us. She is motherly and compassionate (as far as I am aware), not very good at challenges (only based on the first one, but still), and seems very loyal. Hopefully, I can talk Dorothy into it. So that would be four...one more...hmm...definitely not Carrie if I can help it. However, she does have the threat of possibly having an idol on her back which would make her targeted before us hopefully. Rickie doesn't talk enough and neither does Shelli. That leaves Mac and Stu. I personally like Stu a lot more, but I just think he needs to get on more if this is gonna happen. Dorothy said she likes him from when she's talked to him as well so hopefully he can fulfill the rest of the alliance. At the first tribal we go to as a tribe though, it would be ideal to try to make the vote as unanimous as possible so a primary target would likely have to be established. That's not my job because I know I would be too aggressive and dig myself in a hole so I'll let other people hash it out and subtlely influence if I'm able.
One thing is true, you better bet this girl is dedicated and motivated to go all the way. I'm hitting the ground running (and I'm a cross country runner, so you know I'm running fast).
