Round #1

[John Cochran]

Hello, hosts Jeff and Adam! My name is John Cochran and welcome to my confessional area. I'll be sure to keep this updated almost every single day to tell to you guys what the hell is going on with my strategic and social game.

I have to say that I'm really excited to play this game and I hope that, this time around, I can show my true potential and leave a huge mark in this series. I'm bringing my A-game and I'm sure no one, NO ONE, is going to come between me and the title of Sole Survivor.

Also, I'm not going to be a hero and play for the good guys to win at the end. NOT AT ALL. I'm here to be a bitch and own this game like I'm the star of the show and the other 17 players are just the extras.

So, you better better write JOHN COCHRAN on the 1 million dollar check, because I will outwit, outplay and outlast all of my opponents!

Thank you, Adam! ;D

I don't know if I'm all that confident, but I have to always be positive and put my best foot forward because I have a goal, which is to win this game.

[John Cochran]

The beginning of this game has been going quite smoothly for me, in my honest opinion. From the two tribes, Magnetic seems to be way much more stronger than Lindquist in terms of activity and challenge skills, which was obviously proved at the first Immunity Challenge of the season.

I know some people are just plain bad at puzzles, but even the ones who were not so great in out tribe really worked their butts off to get an average or good score and, guess what, they did. Pete and Stephen, for example, really struggled with this competition, but both of them they got times that beat their rivals.

I think the only person in the whole tribe who didn't win their own one-on-one battle was Natalie, right? She really seems to be the only weakest link in this tribe so far, not only based on her strenght at puzzles, but as a whole, since she's never pulling an effort to try an talk with the rest of the tribemates, which is another huge aspect of this game. I really think I never saw her online on AIM and I'm sure that we never even shared a word each other so far, but that's not my fault, because I'm really trying to talk to all of my tribemates as much as I can.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the best job at getting to know each and every one of them, but I'm definitely trying and I think having the benefit of being on a great tribe, so I will probably have time enough to create personal bonds with my tribemates in a more natural way, and not so much forced by having to vote someone out every couple of days. But, at least, I think I'm in very good terms with both Brett and Stephen.

Actually, Stephen already is trying to get me to allign with him and create some sort of Revenge Of The Nerds alliance. I don't know if I can trust him completely or not because he seems to be going too much too fast, but of course I'm not gonna say no to him, because I'm not stupid at all to deny someone having my back, but I need to focus on forming alliances with people that I want to be playing with, not everyone that proposes something to me.
