Hayden's Confessionals

[Hayden Moss]

EDIT: So, I guess here's probably the best place to put this. I just want people to know when they read these, assuming they become open to everyone after the game, that I make a lot of my confessionals very cocky and arrogant on purpose. I don't want people to think I'm really this huge dick, when really, I just wrote these like that for entertainments sake


I'm just gonna make this thread so I have all my confessionals in one spot.
So JT asked me if I wanted to work together with him. I said yes, because I obviously don't want to seem reluctant, but we'll see how things play out

[Hayden Moss]

Unfortunately I'm going to be busy most of the day, so I can't do much in terms of getting to know my tribemates. I'm gonna ask JT to talk to them and get a read on them. I feel like I can trust him.

[Hayden Moss]

So as of right now its strictly getting to know people, playing the social game. I've talked to Amanda and Bubba, who both seem pretty cool. My closest ally right now is by far JT. He's only played one ORG before this, so we're bonded by our inexperience. He's talked to Mary, so we're spreading ourselves out.

Jim hasn't signed in yet, so that means if we have to vote someone off, it'll probably be him. No worries from me, cause that makes our numbers odd, and that's where a majority is made. If I can put myself in a 4 person alliance, I'm set. JT and I are one obvious half, so we'll just have to feel out who else to bring in. Amanda seems nice, and not hard to sway, so she's definitely my top option.

[Hayden Moss]

It's so tough to get a read on people from these small conversations. It's tough cause you want people you know you can trust, but you know you can beat. You want stupid people basically. I want stupid people. I need stupid people. And I can't tell if these people are stupid or not.

^That run of sentences made me think of this classic scene -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTJmPRt7oOE. Loving the confessionals, keep them up!

[Hayden Moss]

HAHAHA I remember that scene so well! Classic!

[Hayden Moss]

I'm trying to come off as a really happy-go-lucky kind of guy in my conversations with people. I want them to really think that I'm not thinking too much coming into this game, and that I'm just excited to be here. Basically, I want them to think I'm the idiot.

[Hayden Moss]

HELL YEAH BABY! IMMUNITY! We just won a crazy challenge! Well, crazy for me, since its my first. We had to find pictures that were hidden throughout the forum. And when I say hidden, I don’t mean the kind of hidden you do for your family easter egg hunt. I mean HIDDEN. You had to click on specific letter of specific words, or periods next to pictures that were impossible to see, it was nuts.

Like half our tribe wasn’t there, which sucked. It was me, JT, Bubba, and Mary doing all the work. Well… kinda.

Mary found a couple of them by clicking the TAB key until the link showed up, but then she couldn’t tell where the link came from, so that wasn’t too helpful. She found maybe two or three, so not bad, I guess.

JT…. Well, he made the thread that we posted them in. and he made most of the actual post. So that’s good….. I guess.

Bubba showed up like half way through, and was like “whats going on, what do we do, what have we found, can I help, OH LOOK HERES THE FIRST LINK YOU GUYS FOUND, IM HELPFUL” so…… yeah.

I found most of the pictures, I think I can say that without being overly confident. Im being just the right amount of confident, we would have lost the initial round without me.

Then came the tie breaker, and as hard as Im being on everyone for how they were initially…. I was fucking useless in this portion. Bubba absolutely dominated, and gave us most if not all of our right guess, while I literally had no idea who was who from looking at the pics. So… yeah. B

I did have on moment after all that though. JT, being a little stupid, saw the other tribe post their results in the challenge post. For whatever reason, he was like, “OH, IMMA DO DA SAME THING EVEN THOU WE ALREADY POSTED”, and it made it look like we posted late. Luckily, I said we decided to post our guesses there so everyone had a chance to look at everyones guesses. So now we look like we were being nice to the other tribe, and im the one who said it, giving me brownie points, haha.

Overall, im wicked happy with where I am right now. The tribe thinks Im useful in challenges, they must after that, there are some clear picks to vote out if we go to tribal, namely Jim who hasn’t even given us his AIM, and Im in a tight alliance with JT.

So overall, Im feeling good. Real good. And it can only get better from here.

[Hayden Moss]

So the challenge starts, and right off the bat, who figures out the password. THIS GUY BABY! WOO! So I'm feeling really good right off the bat. Then I get handed the easiest challenge, the balance one. HA! I stay up late every night, so being up until 3 AM to get this challenge done as soon as possible is no problem. Things are looking good for old Hayden. Now I just have to hope the rest of my tribe doesn't screw it up.

[Hayden Moss]

So JT messages me and is like "don't forget to post!" In the immortal words of Clay Jordan "No shit, Sherlock."

[Hayden Moss]

So things are looking pretty good over at Rheali. With two immunity wins under our belts, we're all feeling pretty secure. Not that it would matter if we lost, since Jim is unanimously going to be the first one to go. And there's a pretty decent pecking order after that. Because then there's Teresa. Honestly, I've barely spoken a single word to Teresa. None of us have. And she's not even there for challenges, so she's next. And after that, probably Amanda, who isn't all that active.

It's a pretty decent pecking order, and it makes sense because of who contributes the most to the tribe.
So the chances of things actually going like that?
Probably zero.

[Hayden Moss]

JT and I are solid. And I really think we can pull in Mary to make a final three. With that, things can be smooth sailing from here to Final Tribal Council. They CAN, anyway...

[Hayden Moss]

So individual immunity. It's such a enticing idea. Not only because it means your safe, but because of the pride that comes with winning it. Think about it! Winning that means you did the best out of your entire tribe! That's bragging rights right there. The only problem with it? It paints a target on your back. Now, if you think your in danger, it might be a good idea to win, make sure you're safe. But come on, we all know it's Jim going home tonight, the tribe is basically in agreement upon it. So I've got no reason to worry. And if I've got no reason to worry, why on earth would I paint a target on my back? That's just stupid! So I'm gonna sit this one out. Let someone else appear as a challenge beast, I'll gladly take the role as the hunter. It sucks, because I want that immunity so so sooooo bad, but this is probably best for me overall.

[Hayden Moss]

The merge is coming. I can just feel it. And its gonna be interesting. If we can just win this next challenge, we can go into the merge with a huge advantage. If not, it'll only take one person to flip, and we're in trouble. I just hope things can go smoothly for a while. I need to start thinking of what my next move is. Because at one point, whether it be at the start of the merge or when Tocola is decimated, we're gonna have to start taking out each other. And I need to think of who I want to be at the end with.

JT is an obvious choice. Apart from our current alliance, he can be very abrasive at times. I feel confident that people will want to vote for me instead of him. But who else?

Trish? She did very well in the challenge today, which concerns me. If she's a strong immunity contender, that could be a big reason people will want to vote for her.

Mary? Maybe, but if she talks to enough people, they'll like her, and want to vote for her?

Amanda? Her and JT have played before, and apparently she doesn't like him, from what he says.

Bubba? Again, might be too good at challenges.

We'll see. I've got a lot of thinking to do.

[Hayden Moss]

So this game went from easy to full throttle like THAT!

Right before the challenge has started, Mary, JT, and myself make an official final 3 alliance. With that settled, everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, wanted to have Trish as the leader, because we all wanted any target to be painted on her. Low and behold, she ends up having to pick new tribes in a tribe swap. WHAT A TWIST! And of course, my new alliance is now on the other tribe. Great..

So Teresa is a problem on everyones minds, because if she self-votes again, suddenly however from is on her current tribe from Old Rheali is in the minority. Because of this, the best course of action would be to throw the challenge, so the other tribe can just vote off Tocola members.

Because I want to protect the people in my alliance, I had to push HARD for a throw. Trish and Bubba really were considering playing the challenge to win. And I can't let that happen, because I need to protect my people. So now I have to put myself against Bubba and Trish, which can only hurt me, because now it's me vs. them. I managed to convince them to throw this one and play the next one. That way, we vote out Tocola this round, Teresa goes out next round, then hopefully a merge.

With that all taken care of, suddenly Bubba starts talking to Sarita. And Im just like "REALLY!?!" Do we really need to get to know the enemy? C'mon, thats just stupid. But no, Bubba starts talking to her, and apparently, Austin, Eliza, and NaOnka are all close on the other tribe, and Sarita was on the outs. Which is good information..... if its true. Why would you trust the enemy? That's just stupid! She could be lying for all we know! Frankly, until I get a chance to talk to her and see where her head is at, I'm not buying it.

Either way, it looks like it's Erik going home tonight. Sucks for him, but that's the way the numbers add up.
