It looks like my predictions couldn't be more wrong, right? Magnetic is still the most active and strong tribe in this game for me, but we found our biggest weakness and her name is Natalie.
Last week, the Immunity Challenge was a series of one-on-one battles and, since she was the only person in the whole tribe to lose against a member of Lindquist, we still found a way to win and be safe from Tribal Council. But she got us this round because this quest for immunity was all about teamwork. I have to say that Magnetic is a very united tribe because six people from very different places of the world still found a way to get online at 3 AM EST to compete in a challenge, but we needed seven people to finish, not six.
It sucks in a major way that we only another chance to miss a date at Tribal Council just due to her, because I think we would definitely complete this whole marathon way ahead of Lindquist, since the six players that actually competed worked very quickly, so we would probably win by a landslide all over again.
Actually, I'm pissed about this whole situation. Not because of Natalie leaving, because she was useless anyway and I saw her boot coming from a thousand miles away, but now I don't have a safety net if we lost yet another Immunity Challenge. Having Natalie still in the competition made sure we, the members of the Magnetic tribe, had an obvious vote, but now I will have to work twice as hard to save my own ass and make personal connections with the rest of my tribemates as soon as possible;
Also, I'd like to throw a punch at her face because she made me stay awake until freaking 3 A.M. (that's even later here because I live in a different timezone) for nothing. I'm not saying that I don't care about this game, because I would be lying if I did, since I do really want to be in this competition and, of course, win, but, without her, we were gonna lose one way or another.
Oh, well, it looks like I'll have to use Natalie to my advantadge and try to work on my personal skills by making sure everybody's on page about kicking that girl's ass completely out of this game, which seems like the obvious and right thing to do for me right now. And sure as hell hope everything thinks the same way, otherwise they are the most stupid group of people I've ever met in my entire life. |

Tonight, when I entered the board, I saw Parvati's personal message to me and I was happy because she's coming to me for information about the vote, which is always a good sign because it definitely shows I'm not out of the loop of everything that's going on in our tribe. So far, this vote seems to be pretty quiet and obvious, which is probably a good thing because I don't want our tribe to be divided and chaotic this soon into the competition, but I expect this one to be the last easy Tribal Council for us at the Magnetic tribe because everyone that's going to be left into the game is very active and strong in challenges, so I fully expect people to focus on building strong alliances with solid numbers to make sure they're not the next ones going home. And if they are going to start doing that after she leaves, I need to be just as fast and make all of those alliances myself because I can't, in any way possible, be on the outs of my tribe. I need to be on top of everything as much as possible, but at the same time not putting a big target on my back from all the attention, so I guess NaOnka is definitely someone I need to play this game with, because even if she's playing her character perfectly, I don't expect her to copy NaOnka's wishy-washy gameplay. Well, what I need to take from this round is that I have a lot of work to do in the way ahead, but in the meantime, I'll enjoy that inactive piece of garbage called Natalie join another useless Natalie on the Loser's Lodge. Bye, girl. See you never!  |
