Alright so I've barely confessed this episode because nothing has been happening. I've been calling it somewhat of a lovefest but the rest of you it's probably more of a snoozefest
So what I'll do is just go through the girls and how I'm feeling about them so far.
NoxeemaSocially, I like Noxeema probably the most. We can like poke fun together and just laugh about how crazy and weird these girls can be. On the other hand, Noxeema has the damn biggest mouth I've ever seen so anything you communicate with her is probably going to end up with the rest of the tribe. Do I trust her less because of it? Yes. Do I think she's capable of keeping secrets? Yes. But right now I think she's a bit like me, and is keeping her options very much open just in case a majority alliance does come together, and at this point it could be started by anyone. Another thing about Noxeema, is that she'll present others jokes or thoughts as fact. Like Claire was apparently thinking about creating some big alliance with six or seven girls, and Nox told me. I thought she'd already started "recruiting" but then Nox was like "oh I feel bad pinning it on Claire, she's backing away from that plan now" so Nox is a mess. I still love her as a friend but strategically and socially she just kind of tells everyone everything and I hope I'm not the only one picking up on this. Also she's attached at the hip with Cherry, which is her own fault because she wont join an alliance without her, and while people like Nox, not everyone likes Cherry. So that could definitely hurt her.
CherryI hadn't had much communication with Cherry honestly before the tribes formed, but I reached out and we've talked a little but not enough that I've got a massive vibe of who she really is. I think she has a similar sense of humor to me, and she has a directness which I enjoy. Like I was kind of tip toeing around the subject that Trinity would most likely go first and she was just like "I thought we all agreed that Trinity would go first." Lmao, so I like that about her. On the other hand, I'm not sure if she's completely sure of me. I feel a sort of apprehensiveness when we speak. She's stated that she doesn't like Kaylee which kind of cockblocked a Kaylee/Nox/Cherry/Selene and I alliance forming. I'm sure Nox has told her about me/Kaylee and Selene being in an alliance so she's probably a bit wary of me.
KayleeKaylee's personality really rubbed me the wrong way but she's get a little more ballsy and straight up which I enjoy. She's on the same page as me where we both kind of feel like, we love everyone on the tribe but at the same time one of us just needs to put our foot down and create an alliance before the game starts happening around us. I must admit though it's a bit of a hassle that I've been roped into an alliance with her and Selene because I do not want to get dragged down with those two as I don't think many of the tribe is really feeling Kaylee.
SeleneSelene is arguably my closest ally in the game, I'm not really sure where she stands in my mind. Because half the time, I'm like I love Selene. Y'know, we communicate all the time, she leaves me such big freaking messages, she's very open to me about what's going on and who wants to align with the both of us and that "you/me come first" but then after that it's like...we have to look out for Kaylee. I will tell you what, I am not going down with that ship. Just like Nox is kind of dragged down by Cherry, I sort of feel like Selene is dragged down by Kaylee and I will not let that happen to myself. I like the three way alliance that we have but I feel like with the way the game is moving that the girls are growing further apart from Selene just purely due to the fact that she's so connected with Kaylee. Could I defend her? probably, I should probably let Selene know what's going on. Especially in the long run I believe Selene will be target number one for a lot of people over me. On the other hand, I think it's a bit too late. I feel like the other girls have already bonded and if I start defending Selene then that connects me to her, and she's connected to Kaylee and I'm not going down with those girls. I'm pretty sure Nox has probably told everyone that Kaylee, Selene and I are all aligned anyway so I need to try and distance myself from them.
TrinityTrinity is going to be the first to go, first and foremost. Like Selene has said we should give her a chance because she's a goody two shoes, but it's like, lets just be honest. She barely communicates, she's barely here, and she's not much of an interesting character. My only worry with Trinity is that if we swap with her still around I'm not sure if she's stupid enough to stick around, which could be trouble...and would be the greatest irony in the world if Trinity became the downfall of our tribe.
Mother RussiaI like her character, and I like her shtick. After that, I don't have much? She said that she considered me a close ally or something but I'm pretty sure I've heard that from almost every girl here and we're all just sort of playing eachother at the moment because no lines have been drawn. The next in line to go after Trinity would be Mother Russia though just because she barely communicates.
BabydollBabydoll has really grown on me I have to say, she's obviously a very large immunity threat, unless the real immunity threat is just taking these immunity idol clues. I will die if Trinity turns out to be the best one here at challenges
Anyway, Babydoll is a bit like me I feel which, call me vain, but is probably why we get along so well. I think she's floating a little bit right now in the middle, but is doing a better job at it than most. She's not really paired with anyone but from what Selene is telling me, she wants to work with me and her so I think she could definitely be an asset there. While I do kind of want to distance myself from Selene because I do believe that a core could be forming between Claire, Nox, Cherry, Baby and maybe Xena...at the same time if Selene can rope together a majority I'm all for it. I think in the longterm Selene is going to be looked at as a threat socially whilst Babydoll is going to be looked at as a threat physically. So that leaves me behind too big shields. I'm just a bit wary of where Baby stands, but only time will tell.
ClaireI find Claire to be a bit dry, somewhat like Cherry in a sense where I'm not sure if she's wary of me or not but it's definitely possible. She's told me she gets along with Nox, and I mean clearly, because she told Nox about wanting to form some big alliance with her. Which apparently was supposed to consist of me, Cherry, Nox, her and Babydoll as a core and Xena + Selene. Not sure what's happening with that, I think Claire backed off. What worries me though is that she hasn't expressed this with me and I'm not all the way sure where she stands either. But I'm working on it, she's not a fan of Kaylee I know that much but I think it's because she's probably influenced by Nox who I'd assume feels like Kaylee vs Cherry could be an ongoing thing and is making sure that Cherry is going to come out on top.
XenaNot many girls know where Xena stands and I'd like to think she's close with me. I'm not sure how much I value her as an ally but I think she has a direct and pretty good outlook on things. People are unsure of her, but she's always sort of included in these bigger alliances I'm hearing about. Like Xena usually comes up as an option, but not really someone people care about, so I think Xena could easily slide into somewhere or just slide through to a swap or something. I'm keeping her close though for that reason because I don't see Xena going anywhere soon and it's the people that glide through that probably will turn into the biggest threats. I'm not entirely sure if Xena will fulfill that, but I'm keeping her close just in case she finds herself in a position of power.
So yeah, my tribe is complicated somewhat. It's not very clear cut at all which kind of bothers me but I think I also kind of have a good map of things so far. So we'll see if anyone actually steps up and creates and alliance soon
