Bitches and Hos

[Alex "Graham Cracker" Bell]

Every so often, i.e. when I remember, I will rank my tribesmates.

Before IC 1

1. Judd- I wanted to talk to him before I knew who he was. I found out that I knew him and that just cemented it. I think that he's a great guy and I know that we are going to go far together.

2. Michael- Hilarious. He's just so funny and I could tell within 5 minutes of talking to him that he was someone that I wanted in my alliance. I haven't made anything formal yet, but I know that I will.

3. Elyse- She brings out the gay in me, and I'm okay with that. She's pretty easy to talk to and if I were straight, I'd call her "easy on the eyes".

4. Brandon- I've talked to him a lot, but it always seems to go nowhere. However, if I think that I *may* have gotten to know him enough that to use him, but he's kind of a wild card.

5. Parvati- At this point, I've barely talked to these people. Parvati is really nice though and I think I can use that to my advantage.

6. Natalie- Anyone who plays as Natalie is always fierce and this is no exception. We've only PM'ed but I know that she'll be a force to be reckoned with. Plus, she was Sherea last season, and I haven't forgotten what she did....

8. Osten/John- They're tied for last. I don't care for either of them. They can GTFO.

After IC 3

1. Judd- Though lately he has been irritating me just a little bit, he is still my #1. I know that I personally can trust him, it's just I'm wondering if my alliance can trust him as he seems to be a little bit of a chatterbox in this game.

2. Michael- Now that I know who he is, I was hesitant to re-allign with him but ultimately, we will control this game. He's smart and I can trust him and for now, that's all we need.

3. Elyse- She's not the most amazing person in challenges, but if I hadn't given my word to Judd, she would be higher up on the list. She's really friendly and one person who doesn't irritate the hell out of me.

4. Natalie- Even though she hasn't been around b/c of her play and idk why she signed up, I think that because she's so inactive, I can use her for a couple rounds to get what I want.

5. John- Now that Osten is gone, the John that I am familiar with is starting to resurface and I don't like it. He can be extremely irritating and I can tell that it's starting to come back.

6. Brandon- The reason why he is so low is simple. I am soooooooo sick of the Jesus crap. It's a completely tired routine and he is alienating his tribe because I know other people are sick of it. On top of that, we had that lovely outburst at TC which made things that much better. So, do I trust him? Kind of. I think he will do what I want him to do, but I have to tell him really late or he'll go tell everyone my plans.

7. Parvati- Oh yeah, she's on our tribe... I forgot.

During IC 5 (New Tribes)

1. Michael- If there's anyone I want on my tribe, it's him. We are on the same page and I don't even feel the need to manipulate him. We can work together to get what we want and I love it.

2. Elyse- Elyse is a rock star. She's got some smart plans, and I'm glad she is with myself and Michael. If I didn't already have plans with Judd, I would go to the F3 with her and Michael for sure. I can't wait to really see what she has in store.

3. Jenna- This one was hard. Both her and Mikayla have their pros and cons, but I like Jenna's tenacity. She came right at me and dug for information and I gave her basic stuff that she could have figured out on her own. She's got an ear for things and that's both to be admired and to be scared of.

4. Mikayla- I haven't talked to her too much, but she seems entertaining. My main problem? She seems to be a bit of an airhead. I enjoy her company, but it's hard to get a gauge of where her head is at.

5. Ashley- I have no idea where to begin with her b/c I don't know her.

During IC 7 (New Tribes AGAIN)

1. Elyse- She's still fabulous. I'm a little concerned b/c this challenge is going to be a nightmare, but I will probably be very far in the game with her.

2. Christa- The Redemption Island Rock Star. I have no clue why her tribe voted her out, she's fantastic! I get along with her better than almost anyone in the game and I'm super relieved that she made it back to the game. She's going to be a valuable asset in the game and I can see the 4 of us (me, her, Elyse and Michael) doing some massive damage in this game.

3. Brandon- Based on my current tribe, I feel that Brandon won't backstab me. He's not my top ally by any means, but he is useful for now. I need to have a few branches of people to keep myself safe, and he's doing exactly that.

4. John- I am personally not close to him. However, Elyse is very close to him and she can use him to get us farther in the game for a couple rounds. If that's what it takes, I'm fine with it.

5. Ibrehem- I have yet to talk to him.

[Alex "Graham Cracker" Bell]

IC 9- MERGE

1. Michael- He's my main ally. I can bitch with him about other people and I love it.

2. Elyse- Though I haven't talked to her recently, she's still very high on my list.

3. Christa- If she were on my tribe from the beginning, I would have alligned with her, for sure. The fact that she came back into the game DOES concern me, but for now, she's pretty legit.

4. Brandon- His religious-ness has pros and cons. I really do trust him but I also think that if I'm not careful, he will spill the beans about things.

5. Mikayala- I kinda trust her, but I kinda don't. I think she's really nice and she was helpful on Lifou V 1.0, but I don't think our games are on the same page. However, I can use her for a few rounds.

6. Candice- I like Candice a lot, but this is the first time we have been on the same tribe so it's hard to trust someone that I haven't built a relationship with...

7. John- I still haven't talked to him, this is a problem. However, he likes Elyse, so that should be fine.

8. Ibrehem- Yeah... he should be going this week.

Pre Round 10

1. Michael- Still my main ally. For now, he's staying here.

2. Christa- She's moving up in the ranks. She's helping me see things in new ways, and I like it. She's a strong competitor and a fun person, and we can use both of those things right now.

3. Elyse- I still like and trust Elyse, but since she's barely been around, it's hard to know if we are still on the same page.

4. John- I can't believe I'm putting someone I've never talked to this high on the list, but he's currently the most trustworthy person left lol.

5. Brandon- The ONLY reason that he is above Mikayla and Candice is b/c I know he won't vote me out right now and that's b/c he thinks I'm under his control. I've got news for you Brandon, I am NOT under your control and you will shortly find this out.

6. Mikayla- Super nice and super fun but I don't trust her, especially after this round. It's clear that her and Candice are sticking together and if the two of them are sticking together, then that means we aren't. The two are mutually exclusive, sorry Mikayla.

7. Candice- On a social level, I'd actually rank her pretty highly. I get along with her great and if she were ever on my tribe, I would strongly consider working with her. She's smart and subtle and those are two things I very much respect. However, we never talked until merge and b/c of that, I just can't trust her. By this point, our agendas are just so conflicting that I honestly don't think it's possible to work together.

After IC 11

1. Michael- Right now, still my main ally. He's been extremely helpful to me and I honestly wouldn't have made it with out an ally like him. However, as we get closer to the end, I have to start thinking about what will get me to win this game, and I'm not sure if I sit next to him, I will win...

2. Elyse- I still like and trust her, but she still hasn't been around much... it's not good...

3. Christa- I'm a little disappointed in my relationship with Christa because I haven't been talking to her as much. I still think she's awesome and if she were on our tribe to begin with, this game would have been VERY different. However, she didn't so it is how it is lol. I still totally trust her, but I need to touch base with her to make sure we are still on the same page.

4. Candice- I think she's really easy to talk to and she's another person I could have seen myself working with. However, one cannot work with everyone and Candice is just on the wrong side of the numbers. I honestly think though, next round I may use her to make a power play, and she'd likely do it since she'll be alone.

5. John- I don't like that he's questioning my logic. I forgot to post about it (but I will, don't worry) but I actually think that after this challenge, I rank pretty lowly with him. This does not work for me, and he's gotta go.

6. Mikayla- Again, if it were a completely personal game, she'd be much higher. I really enjoy talking to her and she's really fun. However, game-wise, she's been making a lot of deals and that doesn't sit well with me. Also, she's made it clear that she is playing for 5th which makes me think that she has some sort of plan at F5 and I'm totally suspicious of that...
