Episode 8 - Change of Heart

[dessybella]

In reference to voting out Fabi just to stay with majority, also as to how I've played so far compared to what I said at the beginning. 

I said at the start that I wouldn't trust people, I wouldn't be as nice as I was in Tibet, and yet I've done exactly what I said I wasn't going to do in order to further my game. Fabi's vote broke me, but I have to suck it up and move along with the Amman people. With Fabi most likely not coming back, I have to strengthen my game to beat whoever wishes to take me, or get swallowed up by the jury if I do manage to make finals.

"I should've been on the Emotional Tribe"
- From the FAQ's chat

A random confessional, just because I really don't have much else to say.

- Thoughts on Fabi's vote off, and the reactions behind it

- Having to change my plan around instead of what I had down before, do I stick with the Amman people or possibly flip if I manage to survive to merge?

- Thoughts on Reynolds possibly being friendly to gain my trust and backstab me later. A combination of both my trust issues and attempting to have some sort of intuition.

Again, a random confession that probably provides absolutely nothing, but I'm just following rules yo. I came here to win and I'd rather not get kicked out for not saying anything lol

Coat of Arms Challenge Submission




Hello judges and viewers, introducing.... My Coat of Arms! (cue a silent audience with a few claps)

The red outline represents our two sides being encased together into one tribe, the name of which has yet to be decided.

The black and white represent both Al-Salt and Amman on either side, to both provide a modern twist on a classical colour combination and to see the two sides in the one encasing that is the red.

iSURV1VOR JORDAN LOGO - Obviously to let people know where we are! Lol

Red sash is part of my own personality, adding some flair and more red colour.

I decided to name the tribe NAJI because according to Google Translate, which is the only source I can go to for anything Arabic, the term "Naji" means "Survivor". So as we are playing the game of iSURV1VOR, it would be the most appropriate.

The animal shown on this is the Arabian Oryx, which is the national animal symbol of Jordan. Putting one on each side is just to present more representation, although admittedly it does look weird. But no the actual animal does not have two upper bodies.

And lastly the Jordan flag right at the bottom, so to show off the Jordan references more.

Excuse my lack of design skills, as much as I like NAJI as a tribe name - I know for a fact it's not going to succeed as the winning design. Oh well, was worth a try - hopefully it gave you something to laugh at.

"MANIC!" 

Please excuse the length of this confessional, ALOT HAS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST ROUND OF MERGE!!!

- First merge confessional, so happy to make it back here but am extremely worried to fall AGAIN at the same spot.

- Finished our challenge of making a Coat of Arms, mine was terrible! Lol

- While we were on call in the Merge Tribe, Travis was announced as the winner... You know what happens right after? The whole call goes almost completely silent, and the sound of tap tap tapping is like going off everywhere. Like everyone at that stage just went MANIC to try and figure out what everyone was doing, who was voting where, and who the votes were going to be for.

- Travis tries striking a deal with The Asylum, though he does not know about the name, or the alliance. His deal was to vote for Carlos or Jay, as he "apparently" heard mine and Izzy's names being thrown out by Dylan

- Tried talking to Mandy but she completely avoided any conversation to do with tribal, so I know she's being fishy

- Carlos feels that he could be the one voted out, and so attempts to pitch Mandy as the person to vote out - but acknowledging that he only needed 5 more people, and his desire to align with Amman.

- The Amman chat deciding what to do, whether to stick with the couple (Dylan and Nicole) or the Bros (Carlos and Jay). We then decide that it was best to vote off Jay

- Jay comes to me, pitching for me NOT to vote him out as he feels he could be an easy vote

- My personal thoughts on it. I don't want to vote off either Jay or Carlos because in all honesty, they're more beneficial than Dylan and Nicole. I want the couple out first, but knowing that they are Veterans also, that could alienate more people into working with me. However Jay just got back into the game, it would feel horrible to send him out again for no reason, especially since he has no power.
