Episode 01

[Penny Ramsey]

Hello, I'm Penny Ramsey winner of Stranded in Greece!

You'll be seeing a lot of me here, but you'll also see some of the other hosts, Jeff, Brenda, Carl, Mia, Kim, and Holly around as well! My main focus here will be on the Mariche Tribe, so talk to me! Most of us are all-stars of the series who have been through it all, so if you have any questions about how the game is played, feel free to PM us and we'll do our best to answer - that's why we are here. Other than that, our duties will basically be to interview you in your confessional here, trying to get into your head and get some insight as to why you may be making certain moves. We will also be handling challenges, tribal council, and tribal council questioning.

Each round, we'll start by asking some introductory questions, and I just want to ask that you answer in complete statements. Oftentimes, we'll turn the seasons into fanfics using these stories, and we will be actively blogging on each episode, and it's easier to do so if we have real quotes and complete thoughts as opposed to simple yes or no answers. We hope you keep up with your confessionals daily during the week as a way to vent and discuss the events of that day. Just try your best to give us insight into what you're thinking or planning as the game progresses, and right now, as we're about to embark. You'll appreciate being able to go back after the show and really see where your head was at certain points in the game, and so will your fellow cast mates!

So here we go......

How confident are you going into this game that you will win?

What are your opinions of your fellow tribemates?

What is your strategy and approach to the game?

How do you feel the rep of Gabriel fits you? Will you adjust your game to fit the rep, or just play as you would regardless?

What are your thoughts on the upcoming "leader" vote? Is this position something you find yourself interested in, or is leadership not for you? What do you make of who will eventually become leader?

[Gabriel]

How confident are you going into this game that you will win?

I will win this game. Watch and see! I know what I'm doing. At least, I hope so... I'm just ready to get my social as fuck foot in the door!

What are your opinions of your fellow tribemates?

I'LL TALK ABOUT THIS LATER.

What is your strategy and approach to the game?

To be social, smart, and do whatever it takes to get people to like me. If it means to be really gossipy to one person but really nice to another, I'll do it.

How do you feel the rep of Gabriel fits you? Will you adjust your game to fit the rep, or just play as you would regardless?

I don't think it fits me at all! I last longer than 3 boots. ;) And I am here to play! I'm playing as I would regardless.

What are your thoughts on the upcoming "leader" vote? Is this position something you find yourself interested in, or is leadership not for you? What do you make of who will eventually become leader?

I am NOT taking that leader spot. I'll just make sure the leader likes me. I think the person that will be the leader will be a target from early on.

Sorry that this is short! I'm gonna spend time getting to know people. My confessionals will get better! I'm just extremely flustered by all of this right now.

[Gabriel]

OH MY GOD.

I THOUGHT THE RULES WERE PRIVATE.

[Gabriel]

Quickly lying to Sarah and saying that I've never played an ORG. I don't need that experience label. All it'll do is get me that leader title... and I don't want it.

[Gabriel]

IMMUNITY UNTIL THE MERGE?

Oh my god. Ultimate temptation.

AAAH!

[Gabriel]

Am I on the inactive tribe? Hello, where are my tribemates!

[Gabriel]

I think they're all here now? Eighteen seems like a solid cast... I'll do an official confessional later! For now..

I'm happy that Sarah got the leadership role, and Sean's already asking to work with me. Considering that we barely had any conversation at all, I can see where I can assume that he's probably asked every other person that he's talked to as well. So I'm not gonna take that alliance very seriously. But I am not, not, not gonna say no to an alliance, especially in a premerge situation. I'm hoping I'll get to talk to Gina and Patricia soon. I'm glad Sarah got the title! I think she likes me and will feed me information if I'm hungry for it.

[Gabriel]

Hi everyone! Nice to make things official in here...
So Mariche is off to a great start! Already a unanimous vote. There's some people that obviously stick out but that's to be expected. These people are General (because he's obviously foreign), Patricia (because she's got a big personality), Sarah (obviously the leader), Me (Because hello!), and.. Sean I guess. Sean was the one that sparked the alliance talk for me and so that says something to me. He's ready to play and play hard, but so am I! And if he's wanting to play hard against me, than so be it.

Day 1 is great though! Day 1 is a thing for signs to come and for Mariche and mainly me, it's looking fine. This leader twist though has definitely got my brain a twistin'.. I don't know what to make of it. There's obviously going to be some temptation challenges with Sarah and that immunity until merge deal. It can't be as good as it seems. I'm just glad Sarah's on my side! I can usually tell when people are being wishy washy and the only person I feel potentially is that way is Sean. But honestly, it might be me. I don't like Sean as much as I like people like Patricia and John, so we're just gonna have to see what happens. I'm gonna have to keep my mouth shut for these early rounds but I can see things potentially getting messy. The first boot I would go for is probably Peter. Oops! Two times? Might as well call him Francesca.

[Gabriel]

I said against me when I was referring to Sean. I meant to say with me!

[Penny Ramsey]

Gabriel! <3

Why are you looking at Peter as the first boot? Baring in mind that you have the whole weekend, could identifying a target so soon backfire on you at all? Or are you going down the road of making a decision and just sticking with it?
