Was writing this periodically throughout the day, I see Danni is waiting patiently for my promised "fire" confessional haha!
1 - I feel pretty damn good right now in terms of my position on the tribe. What initially looked like a potentially Fenassa Strong situation quickly dissolved with Natalie being Natalie, and I had no problem throwing everything she told me about wanting to take Mike out right into Mike's pm's. Like shit, I plan on making some big moves here but to come at me and suggest we "go deep" by taking out one of my closest allies...what? Should she go home tonight I feel my relationship with Mike will be even more solid than before. Now I don't feel like I'm totally on top, I've obviously had a pretty absent week in terms of challenges, partly expected and partly not, but I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable than Nat, Clay and Ghandia for the time being.
2- As I'm writing this I've already been picked as the nomad, but prior to kellyn picking me I was nervous as hell. It was at a time when I had Natalie telling me that Kellyn promised her Nomad, that they had a plan to go deep, that she wanted me in on it and that we had to take out Mike. I knew I had to do something, and I was already conversing with Seb, so I took a chance and told him and Mike about what Natalie had said. I'm almost positive this is why I got Nomad. Seb was going to talk to Kellyn about it for me as they were OG tribemates, however I asked him to hold off for a bit. I think he ended up talking to her anyways which could have been the reason Kellyn decided against Nat and threw Nomad my way. Even if it wasn't - I couldn't have gotten a bigger break.
3 - I feel the most comfortable with Mike and Gabby. Mike is gonna go deep, I can almost guarantee it. Guy is smart, and he performs. Gabby has seemed genuine from day one, and we get along great. The three of us have a good thing going IMO. Nat was a part of this good thing too but at the moment she doesn't seem too interested in aligning with Mike...this makes her the one I want out the most. That's my alliance, yo.
4- Cha-ching. Ya boy found the nomad idol. I literally jumped outta my chair when I realized I got it right. I didn't realize but I guess Kellyn didn't get to see the 3rd clue. If she comes back to Nomad island she'll know I have it the second she guesses tazagourt. She's not a dumb girl, so I'm not sure I can afford to pick her as Nomad at the moment, but on the other hand I could afford to align with someone like her as well. Time will tell. For now, this idol is mine.
5- Lines are starting to blur, starting with people like Nat. I can only assume it's happening on the other side too. Here's hoping Davie and Pat stay alive over there and feel the Fenassa love more than Nat does...LOL.
Answering this post-nat vote out , will talk about the whole Nat tribal in ep 5!
The idol find changes my plan in the sense that I feel more comfortable in the face of adversity. Where before I had nothing, now I can protect myself, or maybe someone like Mike or Gabby to further us in the game and fully take the numbers on our tribe. Right now if I switch out Kellyn, Donathan or Seb, it's 3-2-2. Should those four target us...we can make some magic happen with an idol and show them why the fuck they don't mess with Fenassa. However that whole plan blows up the second they know I have it. Now the question is - if I swap Ghandia or Clay, will they be too timid or unaware to figure out that I already have the idol? This way, if a 4-3 situation goes down, we just need to know who they're taking out.
Things are picking up, shit is getting real, and I'm just getting started. I'M READY FOR MONDAY.
