Options, options, options. I love having options.
I still cant believe how rusty I really am, have overplayed this first round so spectacularly and even with immunity dont exaclty feel like I am in a great spot right now, even though have been chatting with everyone and am open to working with everyone. I wish had a better read on: Xena, Claire, Trinity & Mother. I really like Storm, Kaylee, Babydoll. Noxy is someone who is a real force to be reckoned with in this game. Perhaps the real power i this game, and with s/he forming such a tight bond with Cherry it raises some red flags.
Noxy has offered to work with Storm, Kaylee and I so long as Cherry can be included also. But Kaylee & Cherry really dont like each other - how on earth anyone can not like Kaylee is beyond me - she is such a sweetheart
, but whatever. From what I have gathered seems that her schtick was laid on pretty thick early on, but hopefully taking the edge off and relaxing into the game, can bring more of herself out and hopefully ythis can right those wrongs.
The other thing is, Noxy seems to level headed to want to build a coalition that s/he is all too aware of has 2 people at odds with one another. Because any group like that is vey likely to fracture. This is not good for any of us. I just dont see how this would work, especially after Cherry came to me to shop the ida of a Babydoll/Claire/Xena/Noxy/myself group, to the enxt day wanting to sign on with 2 people that she had excluded from that - Storm and Kaylee. 2 people I like.
Noxy also is suss of Babydoll and Claire being together. Claire is giving me just the one liner messages, Babydoll has flat out said she hates dealing with people that just write in 1 line messages. So unless the pair f them are playing me but doing a long/short to hide the fact they are working together, I cant see how they could be as tight as Noxy is suggesting.
Trinity seems to be on the outs at the moment, which I think is a bit of a shame. Seems some pople have already earmarked her for the first boot, but Kaylee has said she has connected with her, and Trinity likewise has admitted the same to me, and think if we could rope her in she would be loyal. The trouble is, Trinity is not around as much, neither is Mother, and reall,it is this I thin more than anything that people are looking at and thinking they may be expendible. (Sorry, forgot the
TM ... and if
Ripley thinks she is getting royalties out of me, she had better think again... Get away from my handbag, you bitch!)
The only thing stopping me from flipping the script entirely and booting Cherry is her connection to Noxy. Although I wouldn't lose any sleep over Cherry, I think a pissed off Noxy is a much more dangerous proposition than a nice friendly one. Noxy is by far the biggest threat on this tribe at this stage.
But all that aside, the line I have been predominantly taking is that it is far too early to looking at burning bridges. Which brings me back to the start of this post. Options. I like having options. Burning bridges limits options. This I dont like.
I eeally hope we can keep on winning challenges, wouldnt it be ironic after the first weekend that as relativelt random as things go we had a stak of challenge dominatrix bitches on here and the other tribe was top heavy with the social butterflies. Am surprised Ma-Ma got pinned though, based onthe few chats I had with her. But whatever, Just hope w can keep on winning challenges.
The point being, at some point there is going to be a reshuffle of some type. This I am looking at as almost n inevitiblity. There are 10 people on this tribe. That is a large tribe, with the potential to burn bridges by trying to set things up too soon and risk osrtracizing people that you may well need to work with after a tribe swap. And from my personal perspective, after that opening challenge although it won me an immunity, cant help but feel it put something of a target on my back.
And to that point, again the rust in me going too hard, and maybe missing some subtle cues that normally I would pick up on. I knowI have already done a few of these, lol.
Ok, that all said, will be AWOL tonight (fame time), as I will be across in Glasgow for a parent teacher meeting, so I am really hope we win this challenge, so when I do get home am not walking into an absolute sh*tstorm.
