Episode 2

[Jeff Probst]

This is where you will post for Episode 2 : Confessionals, Chats, and Pre-Votes.

We just got back from camp and... That was rough. I definitely didn't want to lose the first immunity challenge because being down in numbers is a big disadvantage when you think about the long game. Keith was a decent guy but he just didn't step up to the plate in these first three days and he did have to go, but if we lose again it's going to be a much tougher vote.

I think Russell is going to be the next to go. He's kind of crude, and is a little socially awkward towards people. Just tonight he was telling everyone to dance with him, and nobody was into it at all. He also does this thing where he's like "Don't be afraid to come and talk to me ladies, I don't bite. Hueheueheheheh. I'mma go find an idol." That's Russell.

[Artis]

We lost yet another challenge, and it's starting to get frustrating. I know that it was only the reward, but I really don't want to lose so early in the game. This morning we got treemail for the upcoming immunity challenge, and I'm ready to go. It said something about endurance, and I am just ready to give it all I got. I may end up wearing myself out or breaking something, but I am so invested in fighting for this tribe.

[Artis]

The living conditions out here are crazy, man. We got a whole bunch of bugs just passing by all the time, and big giant animals, I don't even know what they are, making strange sounds at night. It really puts things into perspective that we have things good back at home. I couldn't imagine being a native out here, living off the land like we've been trying to do.

Bob's iconBob
Ah! LOL
Jul 14, 2015 6:50 PM
Bob's iconBob
Yeah I just got so tired after yesterday, I just pre-voted and went to bed.
Artis Silvester's icon
makes sense
Hopefully we won't go to anymore tribal councils until merge...
Jul 14, 2015 6:50 PM
Bob's iconBob
Yeah, definitely

Cassandra's iconCassandra
Hey!! How was your day?
Artis Silvester's icon
Not bad. I babysat small children.
Jul 13, 2015 6:34 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
What about you?
Jul 13, 2015 6:36 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Omg that sounds so fun!! Haha. I love kids.
Jul 13, 2015 6:37 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Mine was alright, first day back at work after my vacation and I had like 10 emails from my supervisor waiting for me lol but the day was overall pretty boring.
Jul 13, 2015 6:37 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Hahaha, he knew you were going, right?
Jul 13, 2015 6:40 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Hahah yeah but actually she is taking her vacation this week
Jul 13, 2015 6:41 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
So we couldn't really talk in person so I guess she was just making sure I knew what all I have to do lol
Jul 13, 2015 6:42 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
A week without the boss sounds nice... Until something goes wrong.
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Hahaha yeah...I thought it would be nice but instead I had all these questions and I know she's not checking email on vacation lol -__-
Jul 13, 2015 6:42 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Although it's definitely easier to not actually do work...
I spent a good 30 minutes looking at pasta recipes lol
Artis Silvester's icon
You weren't kidding when you said you love pasta hahaha
Cassandra's iconCassandra
LOLOLOL
Jul 13, 2015 6:43 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
i found this basil thai noodles that looked really good but i couldn't find any sesame oil at Target
Jul 13, 2015 6:44 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Basil thai noodles sounds good
I like thai food... I think.
Cassandra's iconCassandra
I love it!! Although I don't know if I could cook it well...
Jul 13, 2015 6:45 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
But it's worth a shot I guess?
Jul 13, 2015 6:46 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Someone famous once said you miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Jul 13, 2015 6:46 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Hahaha so true
Do you like to cook?
Artis Silvester's icon
I'm terrible at it, but yeah I guess so
Jul 13, 2015 6:47 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
I'm oddly better at cooking than baking...Somehow every time I attempt a dessert that's not a box mix, I mess it up lol
Jul 13, 2015 6:48 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Desserts are so delicate. With cooking sometimes you get the beat and whisk and knead
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Yeah that's very true!
Jul 13, 2015 6:49 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Much easier to mess up a dessert
What's your favorite food?
Jul 13, 2015 6:50 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
I'm going to use a cheaty answer and say sandwiches
because there are a lot of sandwiches in the world and a lot of them are delicious
Jul 13, 2015 6:51 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Haha not a cheaty answer!!!
Yeah that's so true, so many different kinds
And you can eat it for any meal
Jul 13, 2015 6:52 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Are there dessert sandwiches?
Jul 13, 2015 6:54 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
Ice cream sandwiches?!
Artis Silvester's icon
aha!
Jul 13, 2015 6:54 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
And smores!!
Jul 13, 2015 6:56 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
oh yeah
Jul 13, 2015 6:57 PM
Cassandra's iconCassandra
hahahah

BOOTLIST


Russell
Twila
Wendy
Cassandra
Tina
Bob

[Artis]

So I finally get a chance to talk to Wendy. She seems like a nice person, and she's been decent at the recent challenges, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be in her good books. Anyways, Wendy mentions that she isn't feeling very secure within the tribe due to receiving a vote at the last tribal council and doesn't have strong connections to anyone. I think 'great, I can butter her up and be her best friend' and I ask if she's talked to Cassandra. Wendy lights up and sings praises about Cassandra and how they talked and talked, which struck me as odd because Cassandra had told me that she doesn't talk to anyone! I'm going to have to keep an eye on my girl Cass, because she easily has the best social game here and if she's been sneaking around and gaining everyone's trust without being obvious about it, then she's going to be in a dangerous position.

Artis Silvester's icon
How are you?
4:24 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
Im good and you?
Artis Silvester's icon
Not bad. I just realized we haven't talked a lot lol
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
i know right! sorry about that
4:25 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
hows everything going?
Artis Silvester's icon
Haha, it's my fault
4:26 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
A little slow, but nothing to complain about. What about you?
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
a little worried.. i got a vote last tc so things are not good to me as you can see
4:27 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Yeah! I was wondering about that. It was probably Keith but then Russell got a vote too
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
exactly.. and honestly i really thing keith self voted anyway
4:29 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
I think it said in the rules that there are no self votes. I think you were just on his bootlist
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
oh yeah! you are right
4:31 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
I wouldn't worry about it too much
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
but honestly i feel like im not being good enough
4:32 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
like.. for the tribe
Artis Silvester's icon
How so
?
I've noticed you help out around camp often and you were good at the last two challenges
4:34 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
its hard to say but i feel like im not close to anyone and i will be easily voted out for this reason
Artis Silvester's icon
Well do you talk to a lot of people?
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
not really.. i try to but most of them never answer me :X
4:35 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Aww, really?
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
yea.. i dont know why..
Artis Silvester's icon
Have you tried Cassandra? She's pretty nice,
4:36 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
oh cassandra is amazing. we talked a lot after the first challenge
really liked her.. we have many things in common
but we never talked game
Artis Silvester's icon
same
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
actually i never talked game to anyone thats bad for me
4:38 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
There's still a lot of time left. And I don't think much is happening right now
the Keith vote was pretty unanimous
I'll be right back in like 10-15 minutes
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
ok ok
4:51 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
I'm back
sorry, had to walk the dog
4:53 PM
Wendy LoLo's iconWendy LoLo
thats ok

[Artis]

I've been waiting around all day, mentally and psychically prepping myself for this challenge. I was focused, I was disciplined, I hung on so hard. Bob dropped out after like five minutes and left me to carry all the weight, and I was so ready to go for so long, but I let my team down. I had so much contempt for the green tribe as they patted themselves on the back and took the immunity idol away.

[Artis]

I think that I will be safe from the vote tonight because I am friendly with everyone and I am one of this tribe's strongest competitors. Unfortunately, I know that also puts a target on my back, but that's something that I should worry for when the merge comes. They would be absolutely stupid to get rid of me now.

[Artis]

As soon as we get back to camp, I begin talking to everyone. First was Bob, who came up with the idea of getting Russell out. It makes sense, because he has really sucked during challenges and isn't that fun to be around. I went over to Twila and Cassandra and they agreed to climb aboard. It looks like Russell is going home.

[Artis]

8:59 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Do you have any thoughts about tribal council?
9:01 PM
Twila Tanner's iconTwila Tanner
As long as it's not my name being written down, I'm fine with whoever
Artis Silvester's icon

I think it's going to be Russell, that's what people are saying.
9:02 PM
Twila Tanner's iconTwila Tanner
Fine with me

[Artis]

8:53 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Okay, so what's the plan?
Bob's iconBob
I think it'll be Russell
He's been the biggest hinderance so far
Artis Silvester's icon
That's what I was thinking.
He threw a coconut at me!
Bob's iconBob
He tried throwing one at me though I was already out
8:56 PM
Artis Silvester's icon
Hahaha
Bob's iconBob
So yeah, hopefully we can start winning after this
Artis Silvester's icon
I hope so too. Nobody else on our tribe is terrible.
Bob's iconBob
Exactly
