A TRIBE SWAP! AHHH!

Yeah, yeah. You're telling me! icon_laugh

First of all, Welcome to Mariche! I'm Holly, from Stranded in Patagonia! And I'm running confessionals over here!

Hey Holly. ;) Ssshh, don't tell Mia, but I think you're prettier than she is so I'm glad to see your face. That picture is glamorous as fuck.

Anyways, how do you feel about this swap? Are you happy about who you ended up with? What's the plan moving forward?

This was an absolute total game changer for me. It's the kick in the pants I needed to start playing harder. I feel like the hosts were probably a bit frustrated with me because I was all talk and no ~game changers~ at Tamanaco. But I think I was kinda at the bottom of the alliance (Frank/Kim squared being the core). I really like these Mariche people and I get the feeling they like me too. Plus, Clarence and I compared notes and basically Frank/Mama Kim have been maintaining two separate alliances and telling everyone different things. This leads to my decision that I am going to throw Lil Kim under a million and a half buses as soon as we lose. I gotta worm my way in here. I think this is a new start for me. Actions speak louder than words and I see I'm expendable to you, Mama Kim.

Also, what do you think of Sarah's choices to send away?

Lol @ Vecepia being as wishy-washy as the real Vecepia
Lol @ the General being really weird??
They've made it obvious to me in PMs already that those two were outsiders and they were upset about having to let Sean go. Interesting.

And what do you make of Kim J's choice to send over who she did?

I'm SHOCKED she sent Lil Kim and not Lex or Linda. Other than that, nothing too jarring.

As always, fill us in on any new developments!

With 3 days, there will be many, I assure you...

QUESTION: Do the idol clues I received before still apply to the Mariche idol?

[Jeff Probst]

yes.

[Lindsey]

Well, this round is certainly proving to be tumultuous. I have another idol clue, yay! The wording is somewhat confusing but if I can figure it out I think it'll narrow down my options a lot and I could possibly be able to find it. I hope.

However, this actually puts me in a bit of a weird place because that means Mama Kim still gives a shit about me, which I was not expecting. I'm actually shocked she didn't pass the clue to Lil Kim? Maybe they're more afraid of having to keep me reeled in. IDK.

Either I am actually making a really good impression on this tribe or they're amazing at being fake to me. I've really hit it off with Gina, Gabe AND Patricia, and I can say I wasn't expecting to really hit it off with anyone. It's a pleasant surprise. I actually enjoy talking to them more than I enjoyed talking to most of my old tribe mates. :X I think I have more in common with these people. This whole tribe swap was actually great... This new tribe has such an overall positive attitude, I seriously love it.

Clarence and I have been talking a lot more. I trust him a lot. I think Kim squared/Frank were really stringing us both along and we're in a pretty similar position.

I threw Lil Kim under the bus to Sarah. She tried telling Sarah she was on the outs on original Tamanco and I shot that down because *I* need to be the one that benefits from outsider status here. Lil Kim can't steal my thunder. Get under the wheels of the bus gurl.

I need to make sure I don't tell ANYONE about the new idol clue because that's pretty much a dead giveaway that Mama Kim gives enough of a fuck about me to bother trying to save me with an idol. Once again, we'll see what happens. This swap was such a game changer. Even if it ends up being the death of me, I'm having more fun now than I did in a comfortable majority lol. I like playing the best when I'm on my toes. It's more fun.

[Lindsey]

Things are quieter today. But damn, I definitely prefer the red avatar to the yellow one. Nice work Jeffy.

All in all I'm feeling okay about my position... Not overwhelmed with worry or security. Gina & Patricia are really close allies and they both already said they would rather boot Lil KIm and Clarence before me just because we hit it off better. And I'm cool with that - as long as it ain't me, I'm fine with however the vote falls.
