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 Patricia 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?

Once I've caught up I'll post a big long thingamajig but lol. I'm one ugly motherfucker.

G'day BRENDA! :o

But nah, I'm really REALLY excited to be here Penny and the rest of you hosts :) I think I know most of you except Carl, but Carl's one of my favourite Survivor Contestants so you're cool in my book :) Kim ignfi though.

I'm fairly confident I can win. I've finally won a game and I think i'm getting a good grasp of what is necessary to do so. However I also know there are a lot of newb players, or at least potentially a lot of newb players here so a gentle hand is going to be paramount. I'm just going to be as gorram helpful as possible and not take charge of anything. I'm hoping my experience as a player and host will be able to give me an edge in challenges, and be able to help my tribe pre-merge.

Taking from my AusStranded experience I'm hoping I can once again keep my undefeated pre-merge streak intact :P But I'm all the better now for knowing why people make the decisions they do.

Gina immediately stood out to me as someone solid who I can confide in. She's the only person who really wanted to talk game and I respect that. A lot of these players are a bit reluctant to make the leap and that's fine, I've been there i get it. It's a good thing I love chit-chat and small talk so hopefully I can foster some real relationships, and I think being an old lady will diminish any "power player" preconceptions.

Gabriel is someone I want to bring under my wing as well, I just get a really good vibe from him. Haven't really gotten to talk to everyone else too much, mostly just "hope we win" "our tribe rocks" etc. Boring old stuff.

I love Peterspam <3 reminds me of Papz in RavenDBZ.

My strategy is to just be friendly and helpful for as long as possible. I want to be in the decision making process without actually making the decisions. The less fingers that point blame to me the better. Of course, I do want SOME enemies because it's never a bad thing, so I may taunt the other tribe somewhat. Single a few people out if I can, maybe even get my hands a little dirty with some tribe mates early on, but that's all theoretical. I've just got to take this round by round and play with these other players at their speed.

I'll play as me, but fuck if I'm not going to reference being an old woman and play it up to my advantage. I've never been a female rep (apart from a duck) so this is all new territory :D

Btw, my inbox has a 50 pm limit. I'm already half full so if that could be fixed(?)

Otherwise i'll have to start deleting stuff which I know is a no-no.

This should be fixed. Thank you for bringing it up.

[Penny Ramsey]

Ill have a look at the PM thing Patricia.

Rooting for you hard here btw!

[Patricia]

Me too!

As long as I don't go into my overplaying ways I don't see why I shouldn't win tbh :P

[Patricia]

Also, what's the deal with Vecepia not showing in the members list?

[Penny Ramsey]

Nvm Mama HoHo sorted it out <3

Ok so given you werent here for the leader discussions, is that something you would have considered? Or did arriving late make no difference?

What do you think of Sarah as a leader? Has she stood out to you yet?

Also, would love a good cast breakdown when you get the chance. Who stands out? Who doesnt? Anybody you have in mind as a potential target? And of course, I love hearing about the development of alliances.

[Patricia]

Thanks guys :D

I don't think I would've advocated for any other leader too much. Sarah wanted it and she seems pleasant enough. I don't think I'd want her out pre-merge anyway and this makes her an automatic target come the merge. There's pros and cons of that but for now i'm happy about it.

Sean - quiet and a bit of a nothing character
Vecepia - See Sean, but female
John - Haven't gotten to talk much but he seems pretty with it from the one pm he sent me.
General - See General but a little better
Gina - Easily the best person on the tribe. We were both late and quickly formed The Tardy Twosome. We've talked strategy and are bonding over E3 news and love of Wii Fit Trainer for new Smash Bros.
Gabriel - Love this kid. Enthusiastic as anything and I think he really digs my enthusiasm as well so here's hoping we stick together.
Sarah - The leader and a bit on the bland side but she's far better than the first 4 people in this list. It may just have been because we actually talked a bit but yeah, I'd put her as just a cool 'nother person. Nothing like Sare-bear though.
Peter - I forgot to message him until this ranking :o But like I said I love his gokuspam style so far :P
