So uhh, nothing has changed since last episode regarding my thoughts about Ethan. Actually they have. I hate him even more like wtf Ethan. Get your ass in here now and participate in challenges. Idk what is going on in his life right now, but it'd be nice if he'd let us all know. In my last game, my grandpa died and I still kept on trucking and at least let my close allies know why I was becoming a little less invested. I am really hoping the box I chose results in a hidden immunity idol. I will literally jump for joy!

[Erinn]

So this tribe swap is bittersweet. On the good side, I am on a tribe literally filled with original Chencha members and then Bob. Honestly, Bob is a strong competitor, but he is probably the only Gorgora I actually liked. Maybe Artis, but Idk them enough I guess. Anyway, the bad part of all this is that my main two allies who I have alliances with, Brendan and Morgan, are stuck over on the other tribe. The only person I really have a bond with on my tribe is Alina and then I have an alliance with Colby, but Idk how much loyalty I have to that. Obviously I'm gonna use it to my advantage, but like, he's not my favorite person to talk to. The only way our tribe could really flop is if the outcasts Shirin and Ethan decided to team up with Bob and then it'd be a 3-3 tie, but I think I've bonded the most with Shirin even though I haven't bonded with her lol so she should trust me and not flip. I don't care what Ethan does at this point. Honestly I would throw the challenge so Morgan, Brendan, and Ken are safe and then I'd send Ethan packing, but we'll see. I think this could turn out alright, but Gorgora is definitely the stronger tribe physically I am thinking. Morgan, Artis, and Brendan are all challenge beasts. We'll see how this goes down.

Oh and way to get me excited for a possible idol Jeff. Way to go. Like common, it's way overdue for an idol to appear and that's what spices up the game.

My updated bootlist with 1 being the person I want LEAST booted and 5 being the person I want MOST booted.

1.Alina (My girl ain't going nowhere)
2.Colby (We're in an alliance so yah)
3.Shirin(Gotta keep the Chencha alive I guess)
4.Bob (He can honestly help our tribe win challenges)
5.Ethan (I hate you bye!)

[Erinn]

Poor Ethan. He's probably gonna die. No one is gonna help him. He hasn't participated in anything and most of us forgot he was even still here. Frankly, I think he's just faking the illness for attention. Either way, it's time for him to go...one way or another.

[Erinn]

Alright I'll start all the before I leave stuff now!

First off, my bootlist with EVERYONE in the game.

This bootlist is just like my last one. 1 is the person I want gone the LEAST and 11 is the person I want gone the MOST!

() designated alliance

1.Brendan (The Renegade Ripoffs)
2.Alina (The Implied Alliance)
3.Morgan (The Devilish Duo)
4.Colby (The Unnamed Alliance)
5.Kenny (The Hot Girls Alliance-w/Morgan)
6.Shirin (The Chencha Alliance?)
7.Bob (The Out-of-my-ass Alliance)
8.Cassandra
9.Tina
10.Artis
11.Ethan (The Next Boot Alliance because you're so cocky and inactive and I hate you so much!)

This is for my illness for Round/Episode 6. I am getting back Friday the 31st at like 10/11 EST so I'll post a quick confessional when I get back for Round 7. And if you are extending it a day then I'll have lots of time. So I'm just gonna make the sick confessional for Round 6.

So these past few days, I haven't been doing so hot. I've come down with a minor fever and I even threw up a little bit. I think I might be getting the same virus that Ethan had. This is what I get for hating him. Karma is a bi**h. He still haunts my dreams even after he's gone. I think the real cause of this all is not because of eating scorpions, but because I ate too much of that dead carcus. I knew that once the crows were at it, I should have let it be, but I was sooo hungry ya know. And now I'm paying for it...hard. I'm probably gonna be useless in the challenges for the next few days and I'm gonna be really quiet and secluded so I can heal faster. Hopefully my allies trust me enough to keep me around through this. I like to believe I've set myself up pretty well so I should be alright. After this illness is up, I should be ready to rock and roll and bulldoze through the rest of the game. It's just this sickness holding me back. I'm gonna stay optimistic and persistant though!

[Erinn]

ETHAN WAS EVACUATED! I AM OFFICILALLY FEELING AMAZING! My sickness persists, but my soul is healed. This couldn't go any better. Literally all the people I hate or don't have a connection or bond with are all leaving pre-merge. Like I'm obviously thinking very far ahead of time when I say this, but when the jury starts, most of the people on it will be people I have had some form of connection with. Honestly, it would be good if Shirin was the first juror because right now, I have the best connection with her over anyone else in her book I can guarantee because I've actually talked to her so if she goes soon, I'll be the freshest in her mind. Those Gorgora members are the wildcards. Brendan, Morgan, and Ken are all making bonds with them and it sucks because I get to sit here and I can't even talk to them. My allies all got a headstart on me while I have Bob who will likely go pre-merge which doesn't help me. Alright, I gotta stay looking at the short term though because I have to make it through this sickness first and foremost.

[Erinn]

a. Erinn, you haven't spoken much tonight, how are you feeling?

HORRIBLE Jeffrey! Recently, I have been coming down with an illness and it doesn't feel good. Ethan may be gone, but he left his contagious constipation behind here in camp. It's all because of that dead carcass we found the other day. I ate way too much of it and now I'm paying for it...big time.

b. Could this have effects on your game?

Of course it could. I have been really secluded and quiet lately, but I had alerted everyone a couple days ago that I knew I was coming down with something for this week and it was gonna affect my performance for the next couple (2) rounds. Fortunately, most of this tribe consists of former Chencha members so they all know that I do contribute to the tribe both at camp life and in challenges when I am feeling well and on par. As soon as I get better (Friday the 31st at about 11 EST), I will be ready to fight hard for our tribe like I've been doing this whole game.
