Confessionals from a yoga instructor :)

[Jaime Huffman]

What were Taj and Mookie fighting about? LOL

[Aras Baskauskas]

They were fighting over the challenge...Taj was being bossy and explaining the challenge over and over again while we were trying to read it and Mookie got mad at her doing that and started shouted at her. It was actually rather humorous at the time, but after a few minutes it calmed down.

[Aras Baskauskas]

Interesting 4 outcasts back in the game? Geez I was in the top 28 and suddenly took a roadblock back to the top 32 and even worst not sure if this hurts my game drastically or helps it lol. Seeing Tom back into the game I don't think is a great thing...he's a strong competitor and he's not on my side in this game and seeing him voted out was very good news. I don't understand his logic behind selecting Frosti first...I mean the guy just voted you out and now your going to side with him LOL. I will laugh if they lost a few challenges and he ended up booted again and by Frosti again that would be poetic justice. Ethan, James, and Paloma coming back is pretty good news for me I think. They don't hate me and I've had a few decent talks with them over the course of the game...Ethan was part of the Egypt F4 and then Paloma and James are allies mixed in there...wasn't sure about James in this game until he started talking to me after he got back in and I genuinely like him now. There is one certainty I'm glad about and that's none of the people that came back in I voted out, so they shouldn't have any revenge and payback on their mind directed at me.

The tribe pick em was hilarious since James/Randy wanted me on their tribe and Taj wanted me on Saboga...didn't think I was actually that popular but I think it's just my challenge ability everyone is interested in but hey that's cool gives me at least some value. I wouldn't have minded being on either tribe and Taj picking me might be better since with me and her together on a tribe it's nearly impossible to beat us and that avoids tribal at all costs. For some odd reason Taj wanted me to pick Rob C and since I hadn't met him in the game I went against that and picked Mookie instead....I've been on good terms with him most the game and wouldn't think he would go against me this early. What didn't want to have happen was have Mookie pick Rob C and he did of course *kicks Mookie* since I knew that this could be old Aitu picked after old Aitu and sure enough it was with Tracy and Danni being selected....then Becky coming in last who was just on a tribe with Danni! This could split our tribe if the 3 old Aitu's picked up Becky and suddenly there would be division and a lot of hell lol. So now gotta either use Becky for a vote and haven't met her so not sure that will actually work or try and get Tracy to possibly go against Becky...not sure how likely that even is. Taj wants Becky or Danni out and I rather keep Danni around as she's someone I've gotten along with well in the past...so right now gotta win most the challenges and make sure Becky is gone first if we do lose and not dig myself that big of a hole.

The swap at least got the lazy bastards Gregg and Corinne off my tribe...those 2 really annoyed me with how lazy they were the entire time where we had to sit out Gregg everytime and Corinne didn't even post any tiles for the reward challenge.

Frosti didn't seem too thrilled with my Mookie pick as he asked why I picked him and I said to get rid of him...I don't care what the dude thinks he's pretty much screwed after this twist where he's got enemies everywhere and I don't want to be associated with him.

[Jaime Huffman]

Love the update Aras! Do you see a leader on this tribe yet?

[Aras Baskauskas]

I don't think it's any mystery that Taj is the leader...I mean she's the one on both Saboga tribes I've been apart of where she's trying to setup and control the challenges. Not to mention during the tribe pick em trying to decide who everyone picked..she wanted me to select Rob C and glad in a way I shot that suggestion down lol. I don't mind her being the leader...better then me being the leader right now. I'll just show up for the challenges and not try and stick out too much.

[Aras Baskauskas]

This is laughable...Tracy trying to fabricate a chat we had to make me look like the bad guy. Even stupider on her part she thinks I'll actually vote Taj when she picked me for the tribe, we were just on Saboga together, and she's like the strongest person on the tribe in terms of challenges. I hate the bitch...never on aim or if she is she's always invisible...does virtually nothing for the tribe and just takes up space.






The real chat where she over course left out her devious plot about wanting Taj out. I was nice enough to spread this chat around to everyone in the tribe as well to others like Randy and Yul. Safe to say I covered my ass on this one and I love how people make these fake chats because it just makes them look like a complete idiot after when people compare notes and what has actually been said.



Santaqquin166 [7:59 P.M.]: Hey Tracy got your message you around?
tratratracy9425 [8:03 P.M.]: heyyy there
tratratracy9425 [8:03 P.M.]: whattsupp
tratratracy9425 [8:04 P.M.]: i wanted to talk to you about the vote
Santaqquin166 [8:05 P.M.]: I just got home from doing a few things...whats upu with you?
tratratracy9425 [8:05 P.M.]: nothing muchh really, just watching some tv
Santaqquin166 [8:06 P.M.]: My thoughts were possibly Becky for the vote what are you thinking?
tratratracy9425 [8:06 P.M.]: lol have you talked to taj?
Santaqquin166 [8:06 P.M.]: I talked to her yesterday not yet today
tratratracy9425 [8:07 P.M.]: kk, sooooo i was thinking something other than that
tratratracy9425 [8:07 P.M.]: but i'd like for it to remain between you and me
Santaqquin166 [8:07 P.M.]: Okies lol
Santaqquin166 [8:07 P.M.]: I'm up for other suggestions and if you want it to stay between us that's fine it will
tratratracy9425 [8:08 P.M.]: ok, so i was thinking someone other than becky
Santaqquin166 [8:09 P.M.]: My whole reasoning on Becky was I just haven't talked to her in the game
tratratracy9425 [8:23 P.M.]: someone named taj. now i know she's been on our tribe and we were sticking together i assume but its something about her that i just dont know...really like she just seems very controlling. like earlier today there was a chat and she was just being very big and all "bad" sort of like she was controlling this vote. but another thing about her is she's a really nice person and that's not good because people won't notice her at all. people will think of her as a nice person and easily over look her. and when that happens she gets down to the end with all the votes because she's charmed the jury members. she doesn't get her hands dirty, but she has us to do her dirty work for her.
tratratracy9425 [8:23 P.M.]: she names the person, we vote. also, she's a good competitor. every single tribe she's been on has won immunity. except for now but even then that wasn't her fault. like really, every tribe? every week? that says something. so when you look at her...
tratratracy9425 [8:23 P.M.]: i like to think of her as being sort of like parvati. parvati was a pretty face who could bat her eyes and charm the hell out of people but behind the scenes, she was running things. and she was great at immunity challenges too. and she won micronesia, and even though she didn't win h vs.v she got super far. soooooo i just want you to at least consider this. but also, since there are 8 people on the tribe. it would be me you danni rob and mookie taj paloma and theres you. now if you were to come with with us, then we would have the majority on our tribe and wouldn't have to worry about a tribal swap for a little while since we just had one. and i really like you and i'd love to stick with our alliance from the beginning i really would. i dont like having to do this, i just think their reasons for voting out becky are a cop out and i think its time to start making big moves. if you were to go with them, them it would be tie and then re vote and most likely tie again and purple rock. that would everyone including yourself and idk if your willing to go for that...idk you might be lol. another thing is, with that whole frosti paloma thing. its like...as you know paloma has been accused of being in that frosti alliance and still is being accused of that. also anyone that paloma has talked to or supposedly talked to was accused or frosti said that she bad mouthed him and all this shit basically targeting her and anyone she was with. now idk about you but as we've seen, many people in that "alliance" went home, even paloma herself. and idk if it would happen but say frosti were to be like paloma was talking with taj mookie and aras about voting me out. that wouldn't put you in a good position would it. so overall im just wanting you to consider this plan and think about what could happen. come with us, and you have a good 5 and with me with you, we can bring in another person of your choice or...it doesn't matter and we have a good solid alliance. go with them, there's the possibility of being eliminated from purple rock and accused of being in some "anti frosti alliance" which may or may not actually be real....sooo...yeahh :-)
Santaqquin166 [8:31 P.M.]: It's something to def consider but there are a few things that I'm a bit uncertain about. First would Rob C actually vote out Taj as she was the person she wanted me to pick for this tribe and since I haven't talked with Rob I decided not to pick him...I mean if she wanted Rob here it's gotta believe they might be close or have some type of deal and would he really vote her?
Santaqquin166 [8:33 P.M.]: I think it would be better to keep Taj since she's good at the challenges and it gives us a much better opportunity to win...given if we lost twice in a row it defeats the purpose of keeping her and we could always vote her then

[Aras Baskauskas]

This is about the biggest bullshit round in any game I've ever played. We have dumb fucks like Tracy trying to take out the strongest member of the tribe to try and gain control...listen bitch I'm not stupid and know that you want control of the tribe and if you want it you'll have to pick a rock. I'm not going to vote out strong members and end up at tc each round where I can easily be gone quickly. Then we had Taj and Mookie wanting to pick Rob C for the tribe...why??? You complete idiots fucked up the tribe royally doing that and little does Taj know that I saved her ass picking Mookie instead of Rob C since can you imagine this scenario of picks: Paloma-Taj-Aras-Rob C-Tracy-Danni-Candice-Becky. Would be pretty fucked in that situation and I couldn't have called it any better when I knew this tribe would be split when I saw the tribe draw.

The plan is to vote Becky this round she's worthless useless and nothing but trash. She deserves to be thrown out of the game just for losing the amount of challenges in a row that she has...how fucking shitty can you possibly be to lose that much pathetic excuse for a human being. When someone never wins a challenge in a game on their 3rd tribe it's not the tribe fault it's the person plain and simple. The other 4 are tight and won't budge with the vote...so I expect rocks unless something weird happens which is a possibility. I'm trying to work out a deal with Danni if we go to rocks that which side has control we'll protect each other and vote out the other 2 first.

If I do happen to leave this rd I'll never play another org again and quit every current one I'm in. Mark my words on that...I wouldn't be deserving of playing anymore and time to go do something else like be playing pro ball overseas like I should be doing anyway.

[Aras Baskauskas]

I'm a bit surprised that the vote didn't tie as I thought this rd was destined for rocks. Danni just didn't want to vote for me and it was perfect when the vote shifted to me and even funnier that everybody in my tribe thinks this whole thing was Mookie's idea...when in reality it was my connection with Danni that pulled this whole thing off and I didn't even have to do much. They all seem to be flying rather high at the moment and getting a little too cocky for my taste...kinda annoying in way where I'm contemplating possibly flipping on them and voting with the other side. I'm about 50/50 set on doing just that since Danni does want me to keep her allies Rob C and Tracy...problem is I'm a little pissed Tracy tried to frame me with a fake chat and also talk very little with Rob C. I'm just a little concerned if I were to flip Taj, Yul, and the groupies will make it a witch hunt to take me out lol. Decisions decisions hmm...I wouldn't vote Taj out if I did jump and it would probably be Paloma. I don't know that I would jump this early as that's like suicide and I may make my mission voting out Tracy next thanks to her trying to pull a fast one on me which obviously failed miserably for her.

Now everybody has gotten into the lets throw challenges mode. I'm not thrilled about that since one of the things I've always liked about playing survivor was doing the challenges with your team and working together. I also think it's wrong and unethical to throw challenges...I consider that cheating and no way in hell I'm going to have any part in throwing anything. If they want to get mad and vote me out later for not throwing...let the bastards do just that but I'll come up with a counter attack by then. Yul is convinced they are going to throw their next challenge and are going to vote out Boston Rob...sucks for that dude but hey I got no part in it. Randy is talking about throwing and wants to oust Coach...it's his tribe but I sure as hell wouldn't do it. The more tribal council visits you make, the more opportunities you have to piss people off and form enemies and I rather form as few enemies as possible. When I've told people like Yul and Mookie I wasn't going to throw they created a fit and seriously pissed me off.



dinkii3: guys post in ur confessionals about me

Not the reason it happened the way it did but sure fly high for the next few days thinking it was, while I keep my secretive connection with Danni well secretive lol.

[Jaime Huffman]

LOL, it seems from that convo Mookie is enjoying the credit.

[Aras Baskauskas]

PalomaIsAnnoying [8:46 P.M.]: I'm not helping I want us to lose so Rob or Tracy go
PalomaIsAnnoying [8:47 P.M.]: just make sure we dont do too good

If we lose and she doesn't do anything, I might highly consider voting her out. I just had my name written down 3 times and no way in hell I'm having that happen again when we can easily win this challenge if we all tried. Bastards throwing challenges how pathetic.

[Erik Huffman]

Aras im really interested in your vote tonight, Are you leaning on staying with your original side or flipping with tracy rob and danni because the others threw it?

[Aras Baskauskas]

I'm undecided at the moment...Danni wants me to vote with her and I want to vote with her since I like her and want to work with her. Problem is not too happy with Tracy over that chat and she could be dangerous down the line. I'm almost damned if I do and damned if I don't with this vote...it's tough and might be one of those votes I make a last minute decision with. One thing I hate and that's people who throw challenges so Paloma should be real worried right now.

[Aras Baskauskas]

I found myself caught right in between the vote at tc...I had to choose who was leaving either Tracy or Paloma. Now there are reasons to vote both of them off and if it was at all possible for both to go, then I would have been all for that. Paloma has this cocky I'm smarter then all of you attitude and I hate it...she thinks she can do whatever she wants and get away with it. She threw the challenge and totally sabotaged our tribe from winning where we lost the damn challenge by 1 freaking pt...seriously I'm asking 4-5 posts is it that difficult? I must have asked her about 10 times to post and I know other people asked her too...what a disgrace. We all know she's here in the game by pure luck anyways...if it wasn't for the outcast twist she would have been old news a long time ago. Then we have Tracy who I don't feel I can trust...she makes a fake chat and then doesn't talk to me about it until after the challenge when she knows darn well that I knew about it and had to spend a good portion of my night fixing things with people who started to distrust me. So when it all came down to the vote...I ended up having to vote Tracy out because I couldn't trust her for one and also we have to keep the numbers in the tribe...now should we lose another challenge then I would be totally up for a Paloma boot and at least have that option to work with. The thing that I'm worried about with the Tracy vote is that Danni probably is very upset and I lost a lot of trust with her. I have told her I would keep her safe and would vote with her and Rob for Paloma next rd 100% if we lost again, so hopefully I did some damage control there. If she still has resentment not much I can really do, I have allies I didn't go against and she has hers she didn't go against. I have a ton more allies in the game then she does and if she does try something for some revenge I'll know about it rather quickly

The game had turned into a lot of drama queens and it's getting annoying. Paloma/Taj are at each others throats with massive disagreements about challenge throwing and keeping everything that happens in our tribe within our tribe. Then there is Randy/Yul jockeying for all the power in the game...I have a feeling this AAA alliance will soon be fractured into something called Yul's alliance vs Randy's alliance. Problem is don't really want to pick a side now...I like working out of both groups where nobody sees me doing much and thinks I'm the guy that will do whatever they say. My strategy may revolve around picking apart pieces of these groups and all that matters is if I can find a way to get away with it.

I won't be throwing any challenges in this game to get rid of anybody or protect any allies...if they can't survive then so long it's been nice playing with you. There could be rewards and idols people have and the last thing I would want to be remembered for is the dude that threw the challenge and left the game...I've see that happen before and those bastards end up looking like nothing more then fools. Plus I want to own most the challenges in the game...you avoid drama and making enemies if you don't have to vote anybody out.

Allies
Yul
Terry
Ethan
Danni
Randy
Taj
Mookie
Paloma
James

Might be allies (Haven't talked to them enough or yet)

Sandra
Todd
Coach
PG
Lex

Damn that enemies list is awfully long but some could become allies who knows...those are just mostly people I haven't been tribed with yet but there are a few on there I just don't like mainly that entire Aitu tribe lol...glad they keep losing and people are leaving there each rd.

[Aras Baskauskas]

Rob C mutinied no surprise there...he took a chance and unfortunately it worked out well for himself as I would have rather seen this break down for him and end up on Casaya where he would have been an easy boot. No biggie it will be fun watching him go down later instead. Danni is probably a little pissed that she didn't also mutinied...I know if I were her I def would have. She asked me earlier this morning if she should mutiny and I told her it was clearly her choice but she would have no idea where she would end up. I don't want to lose any challenges now since I do not want to have to vote out Danni...right now the only way I can save her is by winning the immunities which I will bust my ass with or I try some tricky maneuver trying to get Taj to vote out Paloma but they have seemed to have made up from their little cat fight the past rd.

Randy is worried Taj is playing both sides...well that's obvious and no secret and it's more like she's playing every side instead of just both sides. Every time I hear her say anything she says I've talked to Kelly or I've talked with James and it's almost like who don't you talk with? It's becoming clear she's the biggest threat in the game and I'm going to have to eliminate Taj from this game at some point but I just don't want to make it look like such a devious plot lol.

Thankfully we won the immunity challenge. Challenge was kinda an annoyance with all the posts spamming everywhere and even worst I was half out of it as I was on strong meds after getting a wisdom tooth pulled...can't remember much and was surprised I even spelled my name right when I looked back. I figure Coach will leave on Timbira...I've suggested to Randy that he should leave as he's a threat to us but really prefer him to leave since I never met him and one less person to meet later. Then on Casaya talked to Yul and found out it's either Sandra or Boston Rob leaving...either of them works nicely but I prefer Boston Rob as he's a bigger challenge threat for the next rd and I need to win that challenge to keep Danni in and can also see him against me later in the game. Whatever way these tcs play out it's 2 people I don't talk with and have no ties with leaving and that's what I call a very successful rd.

[Aras Baskauskas]

Once again this tribe pisses me off lol

For the challenge everybody is dragging and I feel like throwing them all over the cliff...I do 90 feet and expect them to do like half and they all are sucking it up.

Paloma and danni only do 30 feet, Taj is mia and not sure how many she did or even if she made her way back and then Mookie does 17. Are you kidding me, I did more then them all combined. If we win immunity I should only get immunity and they should all go to tc themselves lol.
