Natalia Gold 11:07 am
ethan
abi msged me saying she will be late

SunshineEthan 11:07 am
Yes?

Natalia Gold 11:08 am
she is not going to be on back till about 5:30pm.
which reminds me I wouldn't be on until late tonight also.

SunshineEthan 11:09 am
ah

Natalia Gold 11:09 am
I have other obligations tonight work

SunshineEthan 11:10 am
that makes sense

Natalia Gold 11:10 am
But, since it's 24 hours I don't mind being on late during night/ tomorrow till it's due.
depending on what it is.

Natalia Gold 11:15 am
ethan
i found something intersting

SunshineEthan 11:15 am
hmm ok shoot

Natalia Gold 11:15 am
Naonka
it seems like she is the bigger charater from the other tribe.

SunshineEthan 11:16 am
I agree

Natalia Gold 11:16 am
might have a good alliance established also

SunshineEthan 11:16 am
that wouldn't surprise me

Natalia Gold 11:16 am
in the case of a tribal swap
she has to go

SunshineEthan 11:17 am
well thats if we have the #'s

Natalia Gold 11:17 am
true lol
I'm honestly seeing a vibe just do to the posting/
alliance between parvati, stephen and them.
it's a theory but we might have to watch out for that in the future.

Natalia Gold 11:20 am
what do you think about the other tribe?

SunshineEthan 11:21 am
yea its a good theory, I'm still trying to figure them out

Natalia Gold 11:21 am
same
we could work on that together

Natalia Gold 11:23 am
figure them out

SunshineEthan 11:23 am
yea we could try

Natalia Gold 11:24 am
they voted off natalie b

SunshineEthan 11:26 am
hmm interesting move

Natalia Gold 11:26 am
not surpisng everyone figured that out .

Natalia Gold 11:31 am
I wanna see the next challenge

Natalia Gold 11:55 am
time to kick some ass

Natalia Gold 12:52 pm
we should get our tribe to vote for tomorrow.

Reynold Toepfer 11:43 am
Hey Ethan

SunshineEthan 11:44 am
Hey Reynold!

Reynold Toepfer 11:44 am
How are you doing?

SunshineEthan 11:44 am
doing ok, stomach is bothering me, but other than that good, you?

Reynold Toepfer 11:45 am
Yeah my stomach has been really bothering me over the past few days too

SunshineEthan 11:45 am
strange like everyone is saying that

Reynold Toepfer 11:46 am
Something must be going around

SunshineEthan 11:46 am
probably

Reynold Toepfer 11:47 am
It sucks that we lost this challenge. Have you heard any names from people

SunshineEthan 11:47 am
Colby said that Abi brought up Jerri, Abi also brought up Colby at the end of the challenge (2nd challenge)

Reynold Toepfer 11:49 am
I said a PM from Abi that she mentioned Jerri.
I wonder what Penner is thinking.

SunshineEthan 11:49 am
said = got?

Reynold Toepfer 11:49 am
lol yes sorry

SunshineEthan 11:49 am
well what are you thinking?

Reynold Toepfer 11:51 am
I'm shocked that Abi brought up Jerri. I dont see the logic in that

SunshineEthan 11:51 am
yea threw me for a loop, makes me question if Abi is trying to make sure the vote isn't her?

Reynold Toepfer 11:53 am
Mhmm maybe. I want to ask around and see what other people are thinking. Cause I never heard Jerri's name before that

SunshineEthan 11:53 am
I was very surprised, and I feel like I'm on the chopping block :-\

Reynold Toepfer 11:54 am
Youre the first person I have talked to about the Vote besides Abi. I haven't heard your name yet. You did do good in the challenge for us

SunshineEthan 11:55 am
yea not many people are on right now, but I really hope we all can find someone who is strong and loyal to the tribe

Reynold Toepfer 11:57 am
Yeah I'll let you know what I am hearing when I ask around.

SunshineEthan 11:57 am
lol I just read that and how it came out

Reynold Toepfer 11:57 am
Lol I know what you meant

SunshineEthan 11:57 am
what do you think of Kat?

Reynold Toepfer 11:58 am
She is nice. Just very quiet. Haven't really talk to her much

SunshineEthan 11:59 am
yea which makes me wonder about her

Reynold Toepfer 12:00 pm
Yeah. I don't know if she is close with anyone

SunshineEthan 12:01 pm
guess we'll find out

Reynold Toepfer (reynold_toepfer) is available 6:11 pm
SunshineEthan 7:17 pm
so guess the winds have swayed in my direction? :-\

Reynold Toepfer 7:18 pm
This was crazy. penner wanted to split the votes and then something else.

SunshineEthan 7:18 pm
yea I know and now I'm thrown for a loop based on my communication
I thought I was doing ok in this area

Reynold Toepfer 7:20 pm
Yeah I think you are a really nice guy.
Have you played in many of these games?

SunshineEthan 7:21 pm
yea

Reynold Toepfer 7:21 pm
Yeah I just like to talk to everyone as much as possible. I know its hard because you have an outside life too

SunshineEthan 7:22 pm
Everytime I try to talk to someone they view it as me trying to kiss ass or be on their friendly side so I back off and talk when it comes around to challenges, etc.

Reynold Toepfer 7:23 pm
Also people love te strategy talk so getting into a good alliance and finding that one person you can trust and hook onto

SunshineEthan 7:24 pm
yea I like to do that, I dont know I guess I try to analyze what people are really thinking

Reynold Toepfer 7:25 pm
Yeah like my reasoning was that I just talk to everyone else so I trust you the least because we just haven't talk ed about strategy a whole bunch

SunshineEthan 7:26 pm
Well I realize that if I do discuss strategy I tend to be aggressive wanting to know your true intentions and that damages my reputation for some reaosn

SunshineEthan 7:47 pm
you understand where I'm coming from on this?

Reynold Toepfer 7:47 pm
Yeah I understand

SunshineEthan 7:48 pm
so if you want to know where I stand, at this moment, I'm on my own and not with anyone alliance wise

Reynold Toepfer 7:50 pm
Yeah

SunshineEthan 7:50 pm
don't know if this helps you in the decision making process

Reynold Toepfer 7:50 pm
I'm going to think about it. Its a big vote

SunshineEthan 7:51 pm
this is going to be a bold question: what does Abi have that makes her more valuable than me?

Reynold Toepfer 7:56 pm
well the thing for me is that I am more close to Abi then I am with you. So I wouldn't see your less vaulable at all. I just made a promise that i wouldnt vote her off this rounds and I want to hold true to it

[Ethan Zohn]

outlasttheoutcast 6:21 pm
Hey Ethan, the 3rd challenge is on, and we're trying to figure out who's in each picture.

outlasttheoutcast 7:38 pm
We did it! Copy the list and send it to Jeff :-)

SunshineEthan 7:39 pm
we double checked all of them?

outlasttheoutcast 7:40 pm
Yeah, they're all right, I think the only one people were iffy on was # 17, but we all agreed it was Richard in the end.

SunshineEthan 7:44 pm
ah resources.survivorphoenix.com/graphics/albums/ButchLockley/E12Butch01.jpg
Butch Lockley for #17

outlasttheoutcast 7:45 pm
Crap, most already sent it in, send yours in with # 17 as Butch. Sorry :-(

SunshineEthan 7:45 pm
nah wish I was on sooner to find this

outlasttheoutcast 7:45 pm
Have you sent yours in yet?

SunshineEthan 7:45 pm
nope about to

outlasttheoutcast 7:46 pm
OK change # 17 to Butch, that will give us an extra point

outlasttheoutcast is available 12:09 pm
outlasttheoutcast 1:31 pm
Hey Ethan, are you okay with voting Abi?

SunshineEthan 1:32 pm
definitely good if the majority is on board

outlasttheoutcast 1:35 pm
Yeah, it should be Abi tonight.

SunshineEthan 1:36 pm
you think she will have the hii?

outlasttheoutcast 1:38 pm
I think we may split it.
but still vote Abi

SunshineEthan 1:39 pm
who do you think we'll split it to?

outlasttheoutcast 1:39 pm
Colby most likely: Abi (Me,you,Reynold,Colby), Colby (Jerri,Chelsea,Kat)

SunshineEthan 1:41 pm
sounds like a plan

outlasttheoutcast 1:42 pm
Sweet :-)

SunshineEthan 5:50 pm
hey so does everyone know the vote?

outlasttheoutcast 5:51 pm
Yeah, I think everybody knows, except for Abi of course, and Jerri, I think she's still out of town.

SunshineEthan 6:01 pm
ah ok

outlasttheoutcast is available 6:30 pm
SunshineEthan 7:13 pm
so its...me now?

outlasttheoutcast 7:13 pm
Just like last time, conversations happened, it was Abi, then you, then not you, then you again. Its been crazy just like the last vote.

SunshineEthan 7:15 pm
I like to think that I'm more reliable than Abi since she wants to throw Colby, Jerri to the vote, etc...

outlasttheoutcast 7:17 pm
I know, in all honest man, I'm not afraid to switch, Jerri and Reynold are probably the people that you'd have to get to budge.

SunshineEthan 7:20 pm
May I ask what caused this "chaos" when we all had a plan?

outlasttheoutcast 7:21 pm
I got on and others were scrambling and telling me everyone thought voting you out was the better choice, then there was more scrambling to voting someone else out, then we scrapped that and it came back to you.

SunshineEthan 7:23 pm
Well to bring it up, what other options are you open to voting?

outlasttheoutcast 7:24 pm
Abi
but only me switching would be useless

outlasttheoutcast 7:28 pm
Go to go, I'll be back on later, like I said, if you wanna stay, you're gonna have to convince Jerri and Reynold most likely.

SunshineEthan 7:29 pm
ok will do, ttyl

[Ethan Zohn]

SunshineEthan 9:35 am
hey Colby

OutbackColby101 is available 9:44 am
Gone for a walk bbs 3d and 23h ago Comment
OutbackColby101 9:44 am
Hey Ethan , how are you?

SunshineEthan 9:44 am
doing good, how about you?

OutbackColby101 9:45 am
I'm good, tired but good

SunshineEthan 9:45 am
thats good to hear, did you see the results?

OutbackColby101 9:46 am
yea :-( stupid kim spraldin lol

SunshineEthan 9:49 am
what # was she again? lol

OutbackColby101 9:50 am
1
we said erinn
they wore the same bikini top lol

SunshineEthan 9:51 am
lol damn

SunshineEthan 9:53 am
so what do you think for hte vote?

OutbackColby101 9:54 am
no clue, who are you thinking?
it's such a shame that we lost because i think we all rocked last night

SunshineEthan 9:55 am
well I'll let you know Abi threw your name out before the challenge

OutbackColby101 9:55 am
really? wtf? why?

SunshineEthan 9:56 am
my mistake, after we finished challenge #2

OutbackColby101 9:56 am
:-( i still don't get it, i thought i proved myself after challenge 2 lol
probably because she was the last to finish up and didn't want to go? lol
but still, man that sucks

SunshineEthan 9:57 am
I thought letting you know because I think I might be the low man on the totem pole this time

OutbackColby101 9:57 am
awwwwwwwww well she mentioned Jerri last night, to me anyway
and she voted penner last time, cuz she wanted him gone

SunshineEthan 9:58 am
so Abi is a loose cannon

OutbackColby101 9:58 am
probably

SunshineEthan 9:59 am
thoughts on potential people?

OutbackColby101 10:00 am
not really although Chelsea's sudden urge to send Parvati to exile after agreeing to Malcolm kind of left me feeling ........... not sure how to put it, but just the sudden turnabout was weird

SunshineEthan 10:02 am
yea I can see where you feel that

OutbackColby101 10:03 am
i hate that we lost over #1 lol with you and jerri submitting the right one for butch, we'd have won if we'd gotten 1 right

SunshineEthan 10:03 am
yea I feel bad that I wasn't able to catch that sooner :-\

OutbackColby101 10:04 am
i coulnd't find the picture of either of them today that looked like that
but i saw they both wore the same bikini top so i see how it was mistaken

SunshineEthan 10:05 am
yea its easy to see where the mistaken was made

OutbackColby101 canceled the Real-Time IM invitation. 12:13 pm
SunshineEthan 7:24 pm
hey Colby

OutbackColby101 7:25 pm
Hey man how ar eyou

SunshineEthan 7:25 pm
I was doing pretty good til I saw a recent post of the vote switching to me :-\ , houw about you?

OutbackColby101 7:26 pm
i'm ok dude, i didn't see that but i was told it was you

SunshineEthan 7:27 pm
Hate that this game somehow turns so fast

OutbackColby101 7:28 pm
just a minute hun, i'm a bit emotional at the moment, causing an anxiety attack

SunshineEthan 7:28 pm
No rush, take your time.

OutbackColby101 7:29 pm
sorry, this is just really hard on me, Jerri said you're really upset and hurt and it bothers me, i'm a mother and it hurts me deep down

SunshineEthan 7:31 pm
I'm not upset, just irritated that I try to be respectful and not overly aggressive in gameplay to keep a decent image intact.

OutbackColby101 7:32 pm
i know. and everyone likes you. i dont' even know, penner changed his mind a million and one times in an hour.

SunshineEthan 7:33 pm
sounds like we have a few loose cannons

OutbackColby101 7:34 pm
who all have you talked to?

SunshineEthan 7:34 pm
within the past hour: you, Jerri, Chelsea, Penner, & Reynold

OutbackColby101 7:35 pm
what did they all say? any names anyone else has said?

SunshineEthan 7:37 pm
They all talk about how I don't discuss strategy that much...they wouldn't really give names, but everyone still seems on the fence with voting Abi/myself

OutbackColby101 7:37 pm
yea that's what penner mentioned earlier

SunshineEthan 7:38 pm
I really think that to a degree I'm somewhat more reliable than Abi is in challenges, if anything we lose the next challenge and I go since I'm a "floater"

OutbackColby101 7:39 pm
you're not a floater............i htink it's just this is the most vocal you've been

SunshineEthan 7:40 pm
a lot of them seem to want to figure out where I stand in terms of strategy and where my head is at

OutbackColby101 7:40 pm
yea i heard that
and where do you stand?

SunshineEthan 7:41 pm
as of this moment, I'm on my own, I haven't committed to anyone, but I keep my cards close to me (defense mechanism)...I admit I'm a reserved individual which is part of the reason I'm in this situation

OutbackColby101 7:42 pm
yea

SunshineEthan 7:43 pm
so the strategy talk is somehow a form of trust

OutbackColby101 7:44 pm
i agree, i totally agree, but when we're heading to tribal it's kind of necessary, it's a hard game for sur

SunshineEthan 7:44 pm
so I guess now, I try to push to get Abi out?

OutbackColby101 7:45 pm
that's your best bet since she was the other option

SunshineEthan 7:45 pm
so are you open to voting for her?

OutbackColby101 7:46 pm
if you can get majority

SunshineEthan 7:47 pm
well guess I gotta try my best

OutbackColby101 7:47 pm
it's all you can do hun

SunshineEthan 11:16 am

Natalia Gold 11:16 am

SunshineEthan 11:17 am

SunshineEthan 7:13 pm
Jerri just said it in tribal :-\

Natalia Gold 7:14 pm
damn

massivly sad

SunshineEthan 7:27 pm
I'm trying to spin this

Natalia Gold 7:30 pm
who are you trying to get voted out , you can tell me

SunshineEthan 7:30 pm
either Kat or Abi
Abi moreso

Natalia Gold 7:32 pm
i see

SunshineEthan 7:33 pm
...?

Natalia Gold 7:33 pm
i agree that abi is huge threat
she is likely to get taken out

SunshineEthan 7:39 pm
yea, hopefully she does before me

Natalia Gold 7:39 pm
mhmm

[Ethan Zohn]

ExpressiveArcher 3:01 pm
Hey Ethan.

SunshineEthan 6:00 pm
Hey Jerri, sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was napping

ExpressiveArcher is available 6:40 pm
ExpressiveArcher 6:41 pm
Oh, that's fine. I was just messaging you to chat; nothing important.

SunshineEthan 6:42 pm
ah ok lol :-)

ExpressiveArcher is available 12:16 am
ExpressiveArcher 12:16 am
Hey Ethan.

SunshineEthan 12:16 am
heyhey Jerri

ExpressiveArcher 12:16 am
Omg.
I looked up Ramona for that last picture, and I couldn't find her.
I feel so bad.
:/

SunshineEthan 12:17 am
don't worry about it

ExpressiveArcher 12:17 am
I wish I could have helped out more.

SunshineEthan 12:20 am
it was dominated by a good 3 of them lol

ExpressiveArcher 12:22 am
Yea, I was able to help out a little in the beginning… But then I couldn't find anymore. Ahh...
I hope we win.
I want results now.

SunshineEthan 12:24 am
hah well I'm sure our tribe is anxious, the other tribe is probably trying to make sure they have all answers correct

ExpressiveArcher 12:24 am
Ya.
Ahhh

ExpressiveArcher 12:24 am
Did you submit with Butch, or with Richard?

SunshineEthan 12:30 am
Butch

ExpressiveArcher 12:31 am
Awesome. Me too.
<
<3**

SunshineEthan 12:31 am
yea I caught it too late when everyone else had already submitted

ExpressiveArcher 12:33 am
Oh, you were the one to catch it?
*High Fives*
Awesome job.

SunshineEthan 12:36 am
yea it just didn't look like Richard Hatch's chest lol

ExpressiveArcher 12:41 am
You're amazing.
<3
Haha

ExpressiveArcher is available 6:10 pm
SunshineEthan 6:28 pm
Heyhey Jerri

ExpressiveArcher 6:28 pm
Hi Ethan. How's it going?

SunshineEthan 6:29 pm
going well, yourself?

ExpressiveArcher 6:29 pm
It's going well. I can't really complain. I'm just figuring out this vote.

SunshineEthan 6:54 pm
yea

ExpressiveArcher 7:10 pm
*Hugs*
Sorry Ethan, but I'm voting you out this week.

SunshineEthan 7:11 pm
:-(
why?

ExpressiveArcher 7:12 pm
Sorry Ethan. It just seems that the majority wants you gone, and I've tried a little to get the vote switched… But no one is willing to risk it. So I need to go with the flow.

SunshineEthan 7:12 pm
I thought our social interactions was decent

ExpressiveArcher 7:13 pm
I agree, I like you… I really do. It just seems that I have much better relationships with a few of the others.
And the other people on our tribe are not connecting with you.

SunshineEthan 7:14 pm
I think I've tried to be myself

ExpressiveArcher 7:14 pm
*Hugs* I know… Don't feel bad.

SunshineEthan 7:15 pm
I think I've been on AIM more than Abi or Kat

SunshineEthan 7:16 pm
so I'm surprised that my communication is an issue

ExpressiveArcher 7:16 pm
Yea, everyone is telling me they've hardly spoken with you.
I tried to fight for you, I even tried changing the vote. But no one is wanting to take that risk. :/
Talk to Reynold about voting Chels maybe.

SunshineEthan 7:17 pm
I'm really just surprised that everyone is saying this since I've had a good amount of convos with Penner, you, Chelsea

SunshineEthan 7:19 pm
Reynold and even Colby a bit.

ExpressiveArcher 7:25 pm
Yea, I'm sorry.

SunshineEthan 7:25 pm
So you're not open to possibly switching?

ExpressiveArcher 7:25 pm
Not unless there's a majority, or even a tie.

SunshineEthan 7:27 pm
I'm curious how often do you talk to the rest of the tribe?

ExpressiveArcher 7:27 pm
Often.

SunshineEthan 7:27 pm
every single person?

ExpressiveArcher 7:28 pm
No.
Not every person.
I don't talk to Chels often. But I need to stay in the majority also

ExpressiveArcher 7:29 pm
Wel Ethan, I'm off of here.
*Hugs*

SunshineEthan 7:29 pm
hmm ok

ExpressiveArcher 7:29 pm
Have a good night.

SunshineEthan 7:29 pm
:-\

ExpressiveArcher 7:29 pm
Put a smile on!

SunshineEthan 7:30 pm
are you done for the night?

ExpressiveArcher 7:30 pm
But I really have to get going. :/
I'll probably be on later. I'm doing some car shopping and dinner right now.
Talk to the others.

SunshineEthan 7:30 pm
kk I will try

ExpressiveArcher 7:30 pm
Okay, good luck.
