Well luckily Lucas pulled off a victory giving the male team immunity. As for the whole guys vs. girls thing I'm okay with it, I noticed right away that there were exactly 9 guys and 9 girls so I was a bit suspicious. Also it sort of works to my advantage, because Rami and I have formed a pack on I think the second day in saying that we would cover eachothers backs for the first three weeks, I also made this promise to Steven, and a two week promise to Stephanie which is now null and void. However, after making the pact with Rami, we have taken it a step further and have formed an unofficial alliance (hoping that he is not screwing me over) allowing us to discuss our views on the game in complete confidentiality and it also gives us the advantage of being able to pool our resources as far as votes go. I had a discussion with both Lucas and Mitch this evening and they both seem eager to make some sort of strategic move, but I want to pass it by Rami before I do anything. No I'm not letting him control me I just would rather pass it by him to ensure that our trust in one another is strong. A lack of communication is the easiest way for others to break up a strong alliance so I'm meerly trying to prevent that from happening. Until next time... keep fit and have fun

Well this stuff is getting more and more confusing... now I have solidified the alliance with Rami, it's me and him final two or however far we may get. We figured that it would be smart if we could secure a majority early on... so we got lucas and Steve and steven tentatively agreeing to get rid of Tony who has been virtually non-existent these last few days. Then Mitch came to me today and ask about the details of our alliance? I was thinking to myself what alliance... I made an alliance with you? However I played it cool and went along with it (I think he is getting paranoid and is just looking for a little security) so we discussed strategy. He figures that everyone is going to be voting for Tony first, and then Steven second, so he suggested that we form a block of 4 people and that would give us a majority once the two obvious votes were done. This is where it gets complicated... because he suggested that Steve would be in on it and that we would just need to find one other person... so I went over to Rami (my primary ally) and I told him that he should immediately talk to Mitch about game strategy... he did and not a minute later Mitch wrote to me saying that Rami was interested in talking strategy with him... I encouraged Mitch to talk to Rami and possibly pull him into our group of 4 (allowing Mitch to believe that he was in complete control). So all was good... because after all the double ups were sorted out I was in a voting block of 6 and all of them were mildely controlled by Rami and myself. However it wouldn't be Survivor without the drama... apparantely (this is of course all hear say, and what I assume happened from this point on so I'm sure it will make more sense tomorrow) Mitch probably was trying to pull in Steve for our fourth vote of my voting block with Mitch, and Steve said that he couldn't commit to any other voting block because he was already a part of a voting block with lucas rami and myself... which caused Mitch to get angry because now he felt that he had been lied to by me... so how does Mitch decide to take out his anger... well let's tell the girls. This message is then relayed back to Lucas and then from Lucas to Rami and from Rami to me. After talking to both Lucas and Rami I decided that I will talk to Mitch and figure out what is up and explain to him that our voting block is strictly built to get rid of Tony and after that anybody is free game... which is a bit of a lie if he decides to not go along with the group. I hope that this will make more sense tomorrow... but the camera is running out of tape so I should probably be going now.

Well I voted for Lucas and I'm having second thoughts. I'm not going to change my vote, because I think he should be gone. In the immunity challenge I posted almost a third of the posts and over a third of the story that we used. The fact that we already had 336 posts the night before and ended up with that number is annoying. As soon as we lost the challenge I was approached by one of the females (jenne) as she begged me to vote off Mitch because she felt like she was always being cornered. She said she felt unsafe in his presence. I find that very hard to believe seeing as how there is no way that he could even find you... plus if you felt like you were being that badly harassed than you should probably quite the game. Now onto why I chose to vote for Lucas... throughout this entire time a lot of drama has been going around with everyone pointing fingers at Mitch for squeeling to the girls... it may be true but I just find it a little too convenient that Lucas is always the only guy to hear any of this from the girls. I also find it weird that he and Steve were so quick to claim that not only does Mitch cause conflict with the other team he also didn't help us much in the immunity challenge. That was until I pointed out to both of them that Mitch had posted the last 100 posts with Rami and myself. Again this was an attempt to take the focus of Lucas who had been non-existent during the challenge and was concerned that people would notice. I still can't believe that we lost... if they would have stuck to the strategy it would have taken them 2 hours max. out of the 12 hours between the last post and the cut-off time. Oh well, now I just need to hope that Rami and I get a hold of Mitch Steven and Tony in time to get their votes.

Well a lot has happened in the last little bit let me try to summarize. Since the last tc where Rami and myself voted against Lucas people have started to play the game. They realized that everyone may not be as trustworthy as they appear. Apparently the votes against lucas has sparked Kyle to approach me and Ram (who are still denying being the ones to have voted for lucas) asking if we felt that we've been played. We of course said yes and he began hatching a plan to get a group of four guys together to at the very least force a tie breaker where we would win because lucas has the most past votes against him. Kyle had also mentioned that Lucas thinks me and Rami voted for him and that they (taylor and lucas) have discussed getting rid of me. However I have tried to put doubt in Taylors head asking him about the block of six (which he was never informed of) and also telling him that I had formed a final four and hinting that he wasn't included but that lucas (his ally) was. Basically for the next few days I am going to try to be under the radar as to hopefully get them to forget that I am a potential threat, and hopefully lucas' anticts will eventually catch up to him. I am very happy that we are 8 strong at this point as opposed to the womens 6 or soon to be six. I was sad to see Steph go and quite frankly it came as quite a surprise to me. The girls definately have one powerhouse alliance that is taking out anyone that they feel potentially threatened by...(note to self be weary of girls) Anyways thats all for now.

I'm starting to understand how Mitch felt in his last few days... there are several people who are getting right up in my face and trying to catch me in a lie... ok there is actually only one person doing this, that person being Lucas. The worst thing about it is that he screwed over Mitch by making up a bunch of crap and then in this past week I have caught him lying about making a final four with me rami and steve(who was never formely told about the final four block) plus I find out now that lucas also has a block with taylor and kyle which I think I may have already mentioned. The thing that bothers me the most is that if I bring this to the groups attention they will all be to blind to realize that lucas is playing each and every one of them and they will vote me off. He is a trouble maker and for the record if I go next I smelt you coming a mile away lucas. I desperately hope that there will be a switch coming up in the near future because I would much rather taking my chances with a different team... I mean go Tribe Arrow, because I'm your number one supporter. Hope you guys get some sense knocked into your heads and vote out lucas right away!!! Until next time.

Well this game is about to get very interesting, I'm not stupid or anything I realize that Lucas, Taylor and Jenne are alligned. I also can read right through them and they are definately trying to play me. This next tribal council is definately going to be very interesting because as obvious and up front as it should be for everyone to want to get rid of someone that has been very inactive throughout the game everybody seems to just be smiling and nodding pretending that that's what they are going to do. I suspect that tomorrows tribal council is definately going to have some underlying strategy so stayed tuned because it is going to be one heck of a shocker.

The game is starting to get to me. It's just frustrating when we lose, especially when we shouldn't. I hope that I make it to the merge so that I can have some control on the outcome of the immunity challenges. I'm dissapointed that Lucas is still in the game, he is so phony, but everybody is so convinced that he is a good guy and they will keep him around because of that. And because getting rid of him didn't come together at the last challenge as I had hoped it would I am now potentially in the minority on the tribe and could be next to go. With any luck the tribe will do one of two things in the upcoming tribal council: one they will get rid of Tony realizing that he still has not done much to aid the team or two they will get rid of Lucas realizing that he has been playing everyone and telling them exactly how to vote. Although I doubt that either of these will happen because as I said Lucas controls the votes over here, keeping himself safe, and he is in kahoots with Tony I believe, so he will be safe as well. I guess all will be revealed on Monday after the tc.

Well, as the game progress' I feel stupider and stupider. I now know that I shouldn't trust Kyle anymore than I trust Lucas. It's kinda convenient that all Lucas' tribe name got three votes... one was mine, the other kyle and three guess' tells me that the third was from taylor. Now you see normally I would think awesome congrats... but it just so happens that lucas won it. That means that Kyle and taylors big plan to just hide behind him after the merge has fallen through, and just verifies my suspicions that the three of them are real tight (as if i didn't know that already). This will most likely be my last confessional while still in the game, unless some miracle takes place. I'm gonna do my best to play it quiet but don't count me out yet I don't go down without a fight.
