ROUND 3: Puzzling Inactivity

I will try not to say anything witty so you can let someone else get an episode title this round. We won immunity again but there are a lot of people who are going inactive. As a person who wants a unified tribe and strong competition this is very disheartening. If Natalie does go inactive we will be letting a snake slither one more round before we make snake soup.

I hope if tree mail is posted sooner after tribal people will come back for the next challenge. Parvati is still incredibly ill and I don't think she is going to make it. She doesn't move and doesn't whine. She is basically the blow up doll my uncle used to use after he beat his wife. I'm not really sure what he did with it but I remember it did not move or whine.

[breakscharacter]Sorry for the short confessional tonight I am on my way home and I stopped at my friends house and he's taking a shower so I thought i would confess.[/breakscharacter]

Dear God, thank you for giving us another challenge win. Please make sure that everyone is active and that Natalie will come back. Please help me to socialize with everyone and not get too annoyed with Mike.

Amen

This is a quick post because my post count is a satanic number

Forgive me Father...

ROUND 4: Greatly Unappreciated

I'm not sure why i do these anymore because its clear that the hosts underappreciate my way with words [/pout].

So we lost Parvati do to her sickness. I pray she heals from it 100 percent. I feel we have unified as a tribe because of this great tragedy. Natalie is under the weather but we hope John's voodoo soup potion will win her health (though I think if anything is going to do it is going to be the Grace of God).

We have a challenge tonight and I hope we can reign supreme. Unfortunately the other tribe has been a lot more successful at the fast paced challenges. It worries me what will happen if our tribe were to lose because Parvati was always a sure boot.

Once again my tribe left me in the dust after I told them Parvati was the smarter move and not listen to Mike because she is playing like a snake. My thought is that Mike was trying to nurse Parvati back to health so that Parv would vote with him later on.

"You sneaky mom"

Alex has seemed to have taken the role left by Osten, he has been saying annoying and stupid things. Alex to me still seems like a nice guy. But I like my nice guys quiet and respectful and only saying things when it matters not doing... what he is doing.

Alex is Mike's second hand man, there is no denying that. The key to Alex is when we get rid of the snake we want his little buddy to not hate the tribe. It is an interesting perdicament.

To me John is the key for the next tribal council, especially if Natalie returns. I have talked to him a great deal and I hope he realizes that I have his back and want to be his friend. I think Mike would use him until the merge and gobble him up like an innocent mouse... Gosh I dislike Mike.

Dear God, thank you for talking Parvati out of the game before she got seriously ill. Please help the hosts not to hate me and to give me my well deserved episode titles. Please help us do well in the challenge tonight and help us win.

Amen

On a side note... when I get back home I'm going to live up to my namesake and start looking for an idol!

ROUND 5: CODE RED

I am on a new tribe. A new tribe is like a fresh start and I am pleased to see for the first time this game I am snake free. However I have a much greater danger on my tribe now.

It is needless to say that I am going to have much more difficult time falling asleep at night knowing a potential suicide bomber is only John's body away. I guess I will have to get used to it for now but it is probably going to be him I vote for if we end up losing this challenge.

I really hope we don't use his name because it probably means "Fuck Jesus" in terrorist language. I don't know what the others see in him but hopefully they realize how dangerous he is.

He talks to Mike which is a bad thing... we have a possible snake and a terrorist on this tribe. Atleast they are the enemies so I won't have to decieve anyone to vote them off. Supposedly though he talked to Judd too so that might be good? I'm not really sure

She is a lot cooler then I orginally thought. I've never found Candice to be that attractive so that is another perk. She seems pretty honest and is my favourite out of my new tribe mates. I don't think she likes Brandon but I will deal with that. I hope she decides to play honest with me because I want to work with her for a while.

Hopefully John will stick with us or we could be in serious trouble. John is a nice guy and I hope no one on this new tribe will pick on him because if they do... they will feel the Hantz wrath.

My right hand man! He has unfortunately been busy lately (just like me) so we haven't talked for a bit. I trust him though and think God will lead us to the finale together.

Dear God, thank you for this new oppurtunity and new tribe to work with. Please keep me safe from the terrorist and maybe let me lead him to the path of righteousness.
Amen

[Brandon Johnson]

So Me and Ibrehem talked (I unfortunately do not have the log) but he told me he was a christian. This was incredibly good news for me because now I don't have to worry about him blowing me up. Unfortunately, if we lose it will either be him or Colby on the chopping block. I don't have much faith in our tribe because frankly we have gone nowhere fast.

Hopefully we can pull it out but frankly I am not expecting much. I think John will get votes from their side and it is going to be tough to argue keeping him because his performance this challenge has been active but not really unified with the tribe.

I'm not really sure what I'll do if we lose. I want this tribe to be unified like Mahtava (minus Mike) was but I don't want to stab my fellow Mahtava members in the back.

[Brandon Johnson]

I recently stated in a previous confessional that I think Candice is a cool and interesting person and that I would have interest in working with her in the future of the game.

That was a lie

She is a manipulative women and I almost fell into her web of deciet. Luckily I am smarter then the average fly and made it out unharmed. I don't think she is good for this tribe and is more cancerous then my old friend Mike. She acts all innocent but it is clear to see that she is trying to gain control of this game.

"Stand behind me Satan." This is a famous quote that Jesus said to one of his disciples, Peter to be exact. I feel like saying this to my past self because I almost let my feelings get the most of me. I am sorry my beautiful wife, I will not beat you as much when I get back because I made this mistake.

Candice needs to be exposed for being the she-devil that she is. She must go home at the next tribal council, there are no if ands or buts.

[Brandon Johnson]

So I found the idol...

Now what?

[Kim Powers]

I don't know, you tell us Brandon!

[Brandon Johnson]

ROUND 6: The Dilemma

First off I'm kind of disapointed that it is not hand-made. But it is not a huge deal.

However what is a huge deal is the fact that I have found the most powerful weapon in this game. The last person to find this idol was an immunity challenge away from winning the game.

The thing is it kind of interferes with my honest strategy. The idol is not as powerful if it is known by everyone that I have it. I think because I am incredibly underestimated that people will not even consider me someone who cotains the idol.

Especially since my last name is still a secret they would never guess little old Brandon found the idol.

I really don't know what to do. As of now no one has brought it up to me and I will not talk about it to anyone. It's eating me on the inside because I feel leaving out details is lying... and I don't want to lie.


Dear God, thank you for this sacred immunity idol! I give you the glory for allowing to find it. Please allow me to do your will with it.

Amen

[Brandon Johnson]

This game is taking its toll on me. I just want to be an honest player with everyone but this game is too much. You can't play an honest game and be successful. I want this so bad but I also don't want to be a liar. That is not what God wants me to be. All this strategy talk... it is not good.

What happened to back in the day when people based their votes on loyalty and not make hidden agendas. Why can't we be up front with people and lot lie and back stab them. This game turns good men bad... and make bad men look good. It is not fair at all.

I want to go to Redemption so I can play this game with honor and not have to worry about hidden agendas and people lying. People like Candice and Mike who try to manipulate people into doing what is good for them... its not fair.

[Brandon Johnson]

I really want to go to Redemption because I am really curious on what is happening next. i think this duel will be an important but I am not really sure why. I could see either a merge or another tribe swap. In a game that is not simple I think a merge would be too simple. I am not ready for a merge, I am much more suited for the tribal part of this game.

[Brandon Johnson]

I had to talk my way into going to Redemption Island to view the duel and so far it has been pretty disapointing. I am guessing that after the duel there will be a merge and me and Mikayla will get to talk about what the tribe name should be and all that stuff.

Overall I think God sent me here for a reason but I am not really sure what that reason is. Judd seems to think that if Christa comes back she will be a great asset to use but I'm wanting Mahtava to stay strong and make it to the end.

No one has really been talking about the idol at all so I am not sure what is going on with that. I figure the less I bring it up the less people will be pointing fingers that I have found it.

I am still battling with what to reveal to my tribemates. I want to play this game with honor and integrity but I also want to do well in this game. My game is a battlefield between good and evil... I want good to win but I am trying to find a way I can play good and still win the game.

Candice still annoys me with her fakeness. I dislike her strongly. I also still dislike Ibrehem because of his muslimness. Yes he claims to be a christian but I don't buy it.

I am extremely happy with the group of 6 on Mahtava because the people on Calua make Mike look like a Saint.

[Brandon Johnson]

Hopefully this round starts before Jesus comes back because then I'd unfortunately leave the game (due to the rapture). Not sure how many people would actually leave with me... maybe Judd.

[Brandon Johnson]

ROUND 7: Trials and Tribulations

I messed up big time with this tribe swap. I really hope Judd forgives me beause I feel like I betrayed him. I feel so bad and hope he isn't screwed over because of it. I would feel really bad if I was the reason he didn't make the merge. I made sure to pick someone on our tribe to vote off if we lose (Ibrehem).

Besides the fact that Judd is not on the team I am pretty happy with how my tribe turned out. I think the game is still a lot Mahtava versus Calau which is bad news for Mike, Judd, and Ibrehem (and kind of Christa).

I never thought I would consider throwing a chalelnge but it is a strong possibility because I need to make sure Mahtave stays strong. The only problem is I don't think this swap will only last one round and I don't really want to go to tribal council twice.

I am happy to find out that he is a christian man but unfortuantely he's not Mahtava and I picked him for the specific purpose to have someone to vote off if we lose. I am a Mahtava man by heart and those are the people I want to work with.

I am happy to get Alex on a tribe without Mike. I think him and Mike are close and I'm still not a huge fan of Michael. I hope if Alex can be convinced that Mahtava has to stay strong, if Mike tries to pull something later on maybe he would be less likely. If we win a challenge and Mike leaves that would be perfect because I think Alex likes Mike more then Mahtava.

Elyse is my second closest ally behind Judd. If Judd gets voted off then she will be all I have. I trust her a lot though and I hope she trusts me as well. As much as I want to save Judd I do not believe in throwing chalelnges so hopefully he can survive or Elyse will become my number one ally. This might not be as good because Judd helps me strategically in my falters but I don't know if Elyse can be as helpful.

John is a really nice guy and I want to bering him farther. I think he is on my side more then Mike which is really cool because he is a useful vote. I really like John, unfortunately I think his lack of aim conversations will cost him in the end. I kind of see him as an Edna in this situation.

Christa is in a really interesting situation. Having earned her way back into the game via Redemption Island she returns to the game with no tribal loyalties. I talked to her a lot about Jesus and we created a good connection. I really like Christa and want to work with her especially if Judd doesn't last long.

Despite everything I think we just need to focus on winning this challenge. I have only lost one tribe challenge so far in this game and I don't want to lose another one. I am confident if Jesus wills it Judd will survive and if he doesn't I feel I am in a good position.


Dear God,

Thank you for my new tribe. Thank you allowing your daughter Christa to dominate on redemption island and meet me. Please help us do well in this challenge. If it is your will let us win. In your precious son's name I pray...
Amen

BRANDON'S BI-POLAR ADVENTURES

We are truly a force to reckon with! I have only lost one tribal immunity challenge since the game has begun and I think only myself and John can say that. The Moral on my tribe is good and I am enjoying reconnecting with Elyse and Alex and getting to know Christa.


As worried as I am that Judd won't make it out of this tribal council alive, I am confident that I am well liked and people like me in this game. On a side note I have an idol and have not had to lie about having it because nobody has talked to me about it. I feel a little guilty about not telling anyone but not as guilty as if I lied to someones face.


In the word's of the great Alfred Hitchcock, "It is only a lie, if false words come out of your mouth." While this is a very moving quote it is just really difficult because that is not what the Son says. Looking at a women with lustful intentions is commiting adultery. Hating someone is commiting murder. What is not telling people about a special power? It has to be some sort of lie.


This controversy is eating my soul I have no idea what to do. I need to tell someone which is why I tell you confessional readers. For I know I must win this game for my Savior and to reveal my power to the common man will only hinder my ability to win this game.


I don't know what my Lord would rather me do. Win this game and give him the glory or be 100% honest in everything I do. This is tearing my apart. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "What you go through makes you stronger." While I may not be a black... I have gone through just as many difficult things in my life. I am 19 and I have a kid. I abandoned them for this game... I need to win this game. But I need to prove to my kid that you can be honest and win this game.


I don't want him to make the same mistakes I did. I've made so many mistakes. I want a better life for my son... a better life for my wife. Through God that can become a reality... The Bible States, "Through Jesus, all things are possible."
