Hey Jeff
.........Dammit. Short-lived roller coaster man. Definitely not how I thought tribal was going to go. A lot happened in the past 24 hours to make me think otherwise. I enjoyed the experience and would definitely want to do it again, albeit completely differently.
Within the first hour, I was invited into an alliance, which ended up being a total scam. It is really difficult getting a read on people when you're separated by screens. Being the first time in the game, naively I wanted to buddy up and took the bait when the branch was extended my way. Over the past day, this "alliance" and I talked strategy, worked through things with other tribe members. At the start of today, we had planned on going four strong, hopefully winning the challenge. If that failed, we were going to originally vote Don. After we lost the challenge, I said Don had done well with his puzzle and assisted other tribe members with posting their results, so I suggested we go for someone else.
First person I recommended was Angela. They said they were cool with that. When I saw the votes cast, it looked like everyone had actually developed some sort of rapport with her and possibly turned on my because of it. I mean damn man, I was just throwing her name out, I would've gone with anyone else.
It looked the tribe wouldn't have been a good fit. Saying this because a good number of them mentioned in their votes that if they didn't vote me out now, they'd regret it. I'm pretty sure you want to be further along in the game winning challenges before you start worrying about that.
They still have 20 people left in the game, haven't won a challenge, and voted one of their strongest out for someone whose company they enjoyed...whatever dude.
Anyways, thank you so much to yourself and the other hosts for getting me in the game. If you're ever looking, I would definitely play again, but i'd approach it significantly differently.
