I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS...... Thought we could get a season as unpredictable and as crazy as Russia ESPECIALLY NOT THE NEXT FUCKING SEASON! But Tibet has 10000% lived up to last season so far! So many twists and turns so far people quitting people getting blindsided and someone getting evacuated!!!! Can't say i'm sad to see Katie go, I'm sure she is a really nice and sweet person BUT as a PW we only have their journals to go off and she was extremely boring to me and really a non-factor to the game! I'm going to start calling Ginny 9-LIVES GINNY cause the bitch keeps getting lucky and buys herself more time! SHE NEEDS TO BE THANKING THE iS GODS ! I'm interested to see how she plays the game with this new life she's been given and who will be targeted if the girls lose again, BUT CROSSING MY FINGERS THAT THE GUYS LOSE! I really want to see who they'd vote out! HOPEFULLY SOMEONE FROM OHIO or the douche Zak!!!! I'M ADDICTED TO iS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lessgooooo

OMG I have a new appreciation for Tierra. I was finding her rather one-dimensional and boring, and I was annoyed at her inability to make continuing threads in her confessionals but her Ep 4 videos were great. I loved how she talked about not giving too much away, and how she wasn't going to make it seem like she was close with the boys, but was sitting and listening to everyone else be honest and open, and gaining intel on their dynamics... especially when she talked about Lilly and Tanya knowing something about Eric that they probaby shouldn't know.... hmm.

I do see her doing well, she's very UTR and could be seen as a non-threat, ala Whitney last season, or Shaily/Mary in my own Venezula season, however unlike them, she could have a shot to win depending on if she does anything on her own. She seems to be following the pack right now which can get her far, but might not be seen as a gameplaying strategy by the jury so she has to be careful that she doesn't end up being seen as a goat and a follower, and makes her own moves throughout the rest of the game.

I was also kinda put off by Tierra but now I see her as someone who's just trying to been seen but not too much. I love that she get's that everyone is giving to much away and it will be interesting to see if she will use that to her advantage later on. I can't wait to see if she will make key moves or continue to be like hey I am here to listen . I also and kinda wanting the guys to go to tribal to see how it would shake down . It would be interesting to see if they would do like Justin originally wanted and flush out the idol to get rid of Zac or what other plan they would come up with. I think if it's the girls again I think a original Dontok girl maybe in trouble cause Tanya had a point they BS Ginny and Ginny might stick with Tanya and Kay despite Kay voting for her . If that happens
Ginny might get her way and Kim could go which would be shocking .

"If it was a FB relationship, it would be complicated"-Lilly talking about her relationship with Tanya.

I love this girl. I love how she talked about Ginny, like girl, if you really want to be seen as the swing, don't start spreading shit... however, I know that if I was a swing vote, and someone wasn't trying to talk to me right away, like Lilly apparently made Ginny wait while she talked to Kim... I wouldn't want to work with that person, because if my vote is the one you need, then you'll come to me, and if you don't come to me, then clearly you don't need me so I'll go work with those that do need me... I don't think it'll hurt her, because like Kim said, if any of the "strength" go, that'll just be bad news bears.

[stephkatz]

so I hadn't really brought this up, but another girl talked about it so I feel like I have to. I love when people think they know what is going through another contestant's head, but they are totally off base.

We had Eric spell out for us exactly why Dustyn gave Tanya the black pearl and Adam the white one... Tanya KNEW Dustyn was going, but didn't vote for him... I think every other tribemate besides Adam has felt that Dustyn was A. An idiot and did it backwards. B. Eric is dumb and thought Tanya voted him. C. All of the above.

it's hilarious how the girls, like Kay/Martyna/Tanya thought Eric/Dustyn were dumb and didn't see how things played out correctly with the pearl situation, yet Eric knew exactly what he was doing and it conceptualized correctly for him.

That was always my biggest problem when I play, I read people wrong and make wrong assumptions about relationships and who is doing what where. It ends up costing me and I can see it costing a lot of the players in this game if they're not careful.

eh I think Eric was smart as hell about it, but for Dustyn, no.  Like why did he just take Eric at his word (about Tanya knowing about it and just not caring) for what he was telling him? It makes no sense to me at least, unless I missed something.

Sure it's TRUE but for him to turn his back on them bc of something Eric said is just weird to me, especially when Eric had a great reason to be lying to him.

did the guys throw the challenge?

No they legit just SUCKED

[Deleted]

Just got caught up on journals, and the A+ goes to Miller for trying to get out Eric! If this plan goes through, it would be epic, and would only hinder Adam, my least favorite player in the game, even more.

Kudos to you Miller, and good luck to the Dontok men.

[Host Sandy]

Miller would be MVP material if this goes through.... Eric is aware of Miller's plan... but no footage yet on what Eric is/has done to counteract it

PW SKYPE CHAT HIGHLIGHTS

Sandy: For TC purposes, this is what you need to know right now.
(Miller's plan to blindside Eric)

Jermaine: welp

Jermaine: I won't cry if that happens

Jermaine: ex Ganden and Palpung are idiots for not taking out a Dontok

Sandy: Eric and Adam suck at playing the middle men obvi

Sandy: GO MILLER

Sandy: MVP

Sandy: STAY THE FAVES BITCH SLAY

Jermaine: lmao srsly

Sandy: like ginny & eric

Sandy: middle men on both tribes

Sandy: both fucking up

Sandy: just stop japan, stop

Jermaine: and somehow ended up targets

Jermaine: like wtf

Jermaine: they are complete idiots to think that Dontok won't be solid

Jermaine: but you know who else has basically screwed themselves in this

Jermaine: Gray

Sandy: his drama with Zac?

Jermainey: mhm

Sandy: yep

Jermaine: not to mention he came to Dontok

Jermaine: like "I HATE GANDEN"

Sandy: lmfao right.

Jermaine: girl, put on an act and work with them bitches

Jermaine: just until you have numbers

Sandy: then he realized he didn’t like dontok either

Sandy: well, zac

Jermaine: the fans are owning the favs

Andii: glad to hear Miller is doing good! That kid is a goof, but I love it.
 Eric & Adam do need to be split asap.

           Palpung:
I am rooting for the Tanya, Kay, Lilly, Martyna alliance to work, however I doubt Lilly will stay loyal to that for long. Lilly is still being underestimated and people need to wake up quickly to her! Tanya is emerging as a leader along with Kim, I am HOPEFUL that they both work together but I can't see it lasting long at this point. Martyna and Kay are playing their cards well at this point, neither should be a target for a couple rounds. Ginny has 9 lives and honestly she is playing horrible without Daniel here to help her. Tierra is starting to play a bit more strategic but nothing big yet. Desiree continues to give off bad vibes and I still think she won't be lasting too much longer.

Rankings:
1) Tanya 2) Lilly 3) Kay 4) Kim 5) Martyna 6) Tierra 7) Ginny 8) Desiree

           Dontok:
Finally the guys lose, and I am excited to see how it plays out. Daniel has a huge targets as usual, but I think he's going to be safe this round so hopefully he doesn't waste his idol. Chris is someone who knows his surroundings very well and can see through the bullshit which is going to help his game. Gray is trying his best to fit in with either the old dontok or old palpung guys but it isn't going to well. I think Gray will side with Eric and Adam but who knows. Eric is still a huge threat in this game, despite him not really doing too much to deserve that label. Adam needs to seriously work on his game because he was voted for a bunch of negative shit in that challenge which just reaffirms to me his position in the game as a sheep. Zac had been annoying me the last episode with some of his remarks, but once again he has made me like him and he just seems so happy to be here. Stewart is continuing on his path to the merge, he is staying in good with everyone and somehow still doesn't have a target on his back. Justin is playing this game hardcore whether people see it or not yet, but hopefully he doesn't make a move JUST to make a move. It needs to be a GOOD move. Miller is busting out and blowing shit up in here, I fucking love it. I knew Miller would breakout and it's happening!
I literally like 8 out of the 9 guys so this rankings is super hard to do compared to the womens tribe where I only liked 4 or 5 of them.

Rankings:
1) Stewart 2) Daniel 3) Justin 4) Miller 5) Zac 6) Eric 7) Gray 8) Chris 9) Adam
