The Spirit Speaks Through Me

[Brandon Johnson]

Where I will post my conversations with other people and discuss what they mean to my game.

[Brandon Johnson]

(8:21:37 PM) ishaltnotlie: Hi Osten
(8:21:49 PM) Osten (SI): Hello Brandon
(8:21:53 PM) ishaltnotlie: how is it going dude?
(8:21:56 PM) ishaltnotlie: don't worry i
(8:22:00 PM) ishaltnotlie: will protect you
(8:22:02 PM) ishaltnotlie: from any pelicans
(8:22:38 PM) Osten (SI): fuck pelicans
(8:22:51 PM) ishaltnotlie: they are dangerous birds of prey
(8:22:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: i understand the fear
(8:24:00 PM) Osten (SI): so
(8:24:01 PM) Osten (SI): final 2?
(8:24:14 PM) ishaltnotlie: Well i mean that is quite a bit up front
(8:24:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: but i accept your offer sir
(8:24:31 PM) Osten (SI): YES!!!
(8:24:39 PM) Osten (SI): i won't let you down man
(8:24:41 PM) Osten (SI): i'm no quitter
(8:24:44 PM) ishaltnotlie: thats good
(8:24:50 PM) ishaltnotlie: if i find out you have any other final 2 deals...
(8:24:58 PM) ishaltnotlie: i'll talk to God about what to do with you
(8:25:27 PM) Osten (SI): oh boy
(8:25:32 PM) Osten (SI): i'll still faithful
(8:26:06 PM) ishaltnotlie: i know
(8:26:15 PM) ishaltnotlie: i will pray that we make the same tribe
(8:26:41 PM) Osten (SI): or we could destroy our tribes and meet up at the merge
(8:27:31 PM) ishaltnotlie: or that would work as well
(8:30:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: either way
(8:31:02 PM) ishaltnotlie: we will be an awesome team
(8:32:11 PM) Osten (SI): first target: juddy bear
(8:32:13 PM) Osten (SI): he simply must go
(8:32:24 PM) ishaltnotlie: why must juddy bear go
(8:32:32 PM) Osten (SI): he's sneaky
(8:32:42 PM) ishaltnotlie: he is
(8:36:40 PM) ishaltnotlie: oh
(8:36:45 PM) ishaltnotlie: you know who he is?
(8:37:01 PM) Osten (SI): well
(8:37:03 PM) Osten (SI): not per se
(8:37:08 PM) Osten (SI): but i can see \right through him
(8:37:38 PM) ishaltnotlie: oh
(8:37:42 PM) ishaltnotlie: who do you think he is
(8:37:56 PM) Osten (SI): a liar
(8:37:58 PM) Osten (SI): a dirty dirty liar



I really liked Osten at the beginning of the chat. He seemed like a funny and upfront guy. I don't mind that he offered me a final two deal right off the bat because I think he will be honest to that and we could make it far in this game.

Then the conversation kind of went down hill. I wanted to meet up on the same tribe but he said that we should destroy our tribes. I want to be loyal to my tribe first and foremost becaue my tribe is like my family and I don't want to betray my family. I would never betray my family. The second thing that worried me about my new friend was the fact he had already wrote Judd off. I believe in giving someone an equal chance and he already thinks Judd is a dirty liar.

That really didn't sit well with me. Should I believe my new ally about a guy I have never met. I felt like talking to Judd and not mentioning it to him would be like lying. I had to consider whether I wanted to play the lying game or if I wanted to stick with my orginal game plan.

11:36:16 PM) ishaltnotlie: do you know Osten?
(11:36:22 PM) Judd (SI): No, do you?
(11:36:36 PM) ishaltnotlie: no
(11:36:38 PM) ishaltnotlie: but
(11:36:44 PM) ishaltnotlie: as you know i have a no lying policy
(11:36:49 PM) Judd (SI): Of course.
(11:36:52 PM) Judd (SI): I respect that.
(11:36:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: and i think withholding info from someone is lying
(11:37:06 PM) Judd (SI): Alright, well go on then.
(11:37:08 PM) ishaltnotlie: Osten told me that your a liar
(11:37:24 PM) Judd (SI): Hm, well I have never seen his aim before.
(11:37:39 PM) Judd (SI): And this one is brand new and no one knows about it from any past game because I made it alias for this game.
(11:37:44 PM) Judd (SI): As did you I assume.
(11:37:54 PM) Judd (SI): So I don't really see how Osten could be a liar.
(11:38:03 PM) Judd (SI): *I not Osten haha
(11:38:08 PM) ishaltnotlie: That is why
(11:38:10 PM) ishaltnotlie: i told you
(11:38:15 PM) ishaltnotlie: and did not believe him
(11:38:15 PM) Judd (SI): Well thank you my man.
(11:38:23 PM) Judd (SI): I already like you! =)
(11:38:34 PM) Judd (SI): Watching my back early shows a huge strength for me.
(11:39:21 PM) ishaltnotlie: well i dont want to assume anything
(11:39:28 PM) Judd (SI): And you shouldn't.
(11:39:38 PM) Judd (SI): Except now you and I can both assume Osten is now a liar haha
(11:39:45 PM) Judd (SI): Only from the actions he's shown us.
(11:40:11 PM) ishaltnotlie: Ywa
(11:40:14 PM) ishaltnotlie: well
(11:40:21 PM) ishaltnotlie: i dont want to make it a big deal
(11:40:24 PM) ishaltnotlie: but i wanted to let you know
(11:40:51 PM) Judd (SI): Thank you my man!
(11:41:08 PM) ishaltnotlie: its my pleasure
(11:41:11 PM) ishaltnotlie: what are you up t

(11:53:22 PM) Judd (SI): Well...I guess that's not true. I was born in California and lived there until I was 8

(11:54:05 PM) ishaltnotlie: i was blessed to have some awesome vacations though
(11:54:59 PM) Judd (SI): So I assume you've come to Colorado then?
(11:55:07 PM) ishaltnotlie: yea i went to denver
(11:55:17 PM) ishaltnotlie: and then
(11:55:23 PM) ishaltnotlie: went skiing on the rockies
(11:55:27 PM) ishaltnotlie: i was like 13 at the time
(11:55:33 PM) ishaltnotlie: i loved it and have always wanted to go back
(11:55:40 PM) ishaltnotlie: but my parents prefer warmer destinations
(11:56:06 PM) Judd (SI): Mmm love Denver....even still. I love it especially around this time of year because of the snow and the get it all Christmassy
(11:56:12 PM) Judd (SI): Don't know how else to spell it haha
(11:56:18 PM) ishaltnotlie: haha
(11:56:22 PM) ishaltnotlie: i got what you meant
(11:56:53 PM) Judd (SI): =P
(11:56:57 PM) Judd (SI): I assume you're younger then?
(11:57:17 PM) ishaltnotlie: junior in college
(11:57:24 PM) Judd (SI): Oh ok.
(11:57:28 PM) Judd (SI): Sophomore
(11:57:32 PM) ishaltnotlie: cool

(12:09:18 AM) ishaltnotlie: if you don't play honestly
(12:09:25 AM) ishaltnotlie: you can't be happy with how you played the game
(12:09:38 AM) ishaltnotlie: unless of course you win
(12:09:48 AM) ishaltnotlie: but if you don't win you'll always regret that one lie you told
(12:12:56 AM) Judd (SI): Yeah, I know what you mean.
(12:13:04 AM) Judd (SI): I feel similar to that myself.
(12:13:35 AM) Judd (SI): But I feel sometimes things need to be hidden and I don't necessarily consider it lying, but if I give my word to you, it's true and I will tell you everything knowing I can get that full trust back.
(12:13:58 AM) ishaltnotlie: i mean i agree to a certain extent
(12:14:07 AM) ishaltnotlie: i dont plan on telling anyone else that Osten thinks your a liar
(12:14:11 AM) ishaltnotlie: but i felt since it directly involved you
(12:14:16 AM) ishaltnotlie: you needed to know
(12:14:44 AM) Judd (SI): And I am very glad you did because now I'm afraid he's told others the same.
(12:14:51 AM) Judd (SI): I just hope others would bring it up to me if he has said so.
(12:14:58 AM) Judd (SI): Or maybe he tells someone else you are a liar.
(12:15:01 AM) Judd (SI): It's hard to tell.
(12:17:07 AM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(12:17:14 AM) ishaltnotlie: he is one to watch
(12:20:26 AM) Judd (SI): I think if I'm watching you and you're watching me it would help to make sure we know no one is bad mouthing us.
(12:20:33 AM) ishaltnotlie: agreed
(12:20:38 AM) ishaltnotlie: i hope we end up on the same tribe
(12:20:42 AM) Judd (SI): Me too!
(12:20:48 AM) Judd (SI): I can already tell we will work well together!
(12:21:04 AM) ishaltnotlie: i agree 100%


Judd is a really interesting guy. I really like the fact that he goes to a christian university, I think that is something that will create a bond between us and we will be able to trust eachother in the game.

I had to tell him the thing about Osten beacuse I felt that i wanted everything to be on the table. I don't like keeping secrets from people and don't plan on keeping secrets from people. I hope he doesn't tell Osten because I didn't intend to start drama I justed wanted to be honest to Judd.

[Brandon Johnson]

Well I unforunately lost the log to this game

God forgive me

But it involved Elyse flirting with me including asking me to take off my shirt (which will reveal that I am Russell's nephew). I had to unfortunately lie as to why i was keeping my shirt on and said i was self conscience about my figure and she said i should take off my shirt and have a modeling competition with Judd.

I really don't appreciate her flirting with me and also she is trying to force me to do stuff that I don't want to do. A man is supossed to force a women to do stuff, not the other way around, that is why God created men first. If she is on my tribe I will try to get her out first because I think she will be a cancer in the tribe.

(10:52:28 PM) Candice Woodcock: You're welcome.
(10:53:39 PM) ishaltnotlie: i think you are interesting.

(10:57:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: it was nice talking to you
(10:57:56 PM) Candice Woodcock: night <3


Where should I begin with Candice? Oh how about the fact that I DONT LIKE HER AT ALL! Yes i respect her for being a strong women but my uncle taught me to vote strong women out and that is what I plan to do. Mocking me, making fun of who I am and what I believe does not make you friends.

*Sniffles*

Why can people not understand that I am out here to play a good clean game and to have fun doing it. I want to be honest with people but I also want to like the people that I am aligned with. Right now I hope i don't have to align with Candice because I don't liek Candice. All her hearts makes her seem like a temptress, but at the same time she's incredibly unlikable.

I think at the same time she is an upfront person who won't stab you in the back, so if i can get over her negative, and pagan attitude maybe we can be allies. But that will only be a last resort because I can tell she doesn't like or trust my gameplay. Which hurts because how can you be honest, if people don't think your being honest.

My man Judd and I having a good man to man talk. We both really want our tribe to be based on honestly and I think if we end up on the same tribe and find a few more people that share our belief we can make it happen.

We also talked about how we don't want Ibrehem on our tribe because he could blow up our camp and we don't want all our hard work to go to waste. Ibrehem and Candice are the two people in this game that I don't like and Judd is definately my favorite.

(8:37:05 PM) Michael Skupin: what is your issue?
(8:37:33 PM) ishaltnotlie: i don't have an issue. I just don't feel comfortable playing this game of he said she said
(8:37:48 PM) Michael Skupin: what game of he said, she said?
(8:37:53 PM) ishaltnotlie: I feel like someone telling other people how to think is the beginning of a division of a tribe
(8:38:16 PM) Michael Skupin: and who is telling anyone how to think?
(8:38:52 PM) ishaltnotlie: the thing about Judd and the fact that you're telling people that your voting Osten and no matter what the tribe decides you are sticking to that
(8:39:06 PM) ishaltnotlie: whether or not you realize it, that influences people's vote
(8:39:11 PM) Michael Skupin: first of all
(8:39:19 PM) Michael Skupin: why would I lie about what I was told?
(8:39:31 PM) Michael Skupin: I'm not gonna lie to get rid of someone
(8:39:35 PM) Michael Skupin: that's not me
(8:40:13 PM) Michael Skupin: and when I make up my mind on who I am voting, unless there is serious evidence another way, i.e. Parv asking to be voted out
(8:40:26 PM) Michael Skupin: I stick to my vote
(8:40:45 PM) Michael Skupin: and if anyone is voting for Osten because I said I am is a very weak-minded person
(8:42:05 PM) ishaltnotlie: im saying
(8:42:08 PM) ishaltnotlie: me for example
(8:42:40 PM) ishaltnotlie: i don't want to go against the tribe. But I feel like when you say something like that. It makes people feel like to say no lets keep Osten would be going agaisnt you
(8:43:23 PM) Michael Skupin: I wasn't the only one who said I was voting for Osten
(8:43:44 PM) Michael Skupin: when I told John what I was doing, he replied to me that he was already voting for Osten
(8:44:04 PM) Michael Skupin: not only because of the challenge incident, but because Osten made a homophobic comment
(8:44:44 PM) Michael Skupin: and I thought you were old enough to vote for who you thought should go
(8:45:02 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm voting with the tribe.
(8:45:13 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm not here to play a game of split up the tribe
(8:46:02 PM) Michael Skupin: why are you so against voting Osten out?
(8:47:50 PM) ishaltnotlie: i am not
(8:47:53 PM) ishaltnotlie: im not against it at all
(8:48:00 PM) ishaltnotlie: i would prefer to vote Parvati
(8:48:13 PM) ishaltnotlie: but im just saying that i felt people weren't expressing what they really felt
(8:48:25 PM) Michael Skupin: do you know that for a fact?
(8:48:52 PM) ishaltnotlie: i don't know that for a fact. Thats why i didn't claim the tribe wants to vote out Parvati but Mike is letting them
(8:49:19 PM) Michael Skupin: I am Mike
(8:49:42 PM) ishaltnotlie: *isn't
(8:50:05 PM) Michael Skupin: I am one person who stated who I am voting for
(8:50:12 PM) Michael Skupin: that's all
(8:50:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: and i appreciate that
(8:50:24 PM) ishaltnotlie: i jsut didn't like the way you said it
(8:50:36 PM) Michael Skupin: I have not told one person they have to vote for or not vote for
(8:50:38 PM) ishaltnotlie: to me you said... i don't care what the tribe wants, i'm voting osten
(8:50:55 PM) Michael Skupin: I said I am voting Osten no matter what everyone else does
(8:51:02 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes
(8:51:36 PM) Michael Skupin: that said nothing about what the tribe wants or whatever
(8:51:46 PM) Michael Skupin: everyone is their own person
(8:51:52 PM) Michael Skupin: they can make up their own minds
(8:52:30 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes but the way you said it
(8:52:35 PM) ishaltnotlie: made me feel
(8:52:41 PM) ishaltnotlie: like you'd be mad if people voted Parvati
(8:52:45 PM) ishaltnotlie: i can't speak for everyone
(8:52:45 PM) Michael Skupin: I haven't changed what I said
(8:53:09 PM) ishaltnotlie: but they way you said it made it feel like you were so dead set on Osten leaving... that you'd be upset if he didn't
(8:53:32 PM) Michael Skupin: you're reading way in too much of what I said
(8:53:38 PM) Michael Skupin: don't read into me
(8:53:42 PM) Michael Skupin: I speak what I feel
(8:54:01 PM) Michael Skupin: if I'm gonna be upset about someone not leaving I would say that
(8:54:28 PM) ishaltnotlie: fair enough
(8:54:42 PM) Michael Skupin: that's one thing about me
(8:54:45 PM) Michael Skupin: I speak my mind
(8:54:53 PM) Michael Skupin: I don't hold my tongue what-so-ever
(8:54:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: as do i
(8:55:11 PM) Michael Skupin: so if I was upset if he didn't leave, I would have said taht
(8:55:15 PM) Michael Skupin: that*
(8:55:22 PM) Michael Skupin: so seeing as I didn't say that
(8:55:53 PM) Michael Skupin: you're putting words in my mouth or thoughts that just aren't there
(8:56:46 PM) ishaltnotlie: okay i apologize for that. I was just expressing concern that everyone wasn't getting a say in the decision
(8:57:08 PM) Michael Skupin: thing is everyone I talked to wanted to vote out Osten just like I did
(9:01:58 PM) ishaltnotlie: waws that before or after they found out your say?
(9:02:07 PM) ishaltnotlie: There are a lot of people pleasers on this tribe
(9:03:08 PM) Michael Skupin: Alex and I debated the whole Osten vs. Parv for a while
(9:03:14 PM) Michael Skupin: John was already voting Osten
(9:03:20 PM) Michael Skupin: I haven't talked to Nat or Elyse
(9:03:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: Okay well im just wanting everyone to get their opinion in. And i guess the person who the majority wants to leave is leaving so that is good
(9:04:24 PM) Michael Skupin: if anyone else had an opinion I'm sure they would have voiced it
(9:04:30 PM) Michael Skupin: Judd certainly did
(9:04:42 PM) Michael Skupin: but he came to the decision to vote out Osten by himself
(9:04:47 PM) Michael Skupin: and he knew my thoughts
(9:04:58 PM) Michael Skupin: I don't think you're giving credit to people at all
(9:05:49 PM) ishaltnotlie: Theres a different between coming to a decision by yourself, and coming to a decision by yourself because other people are voting that way
(9:06:33 PM) Michael Skupin: you really aren't giving anyone a bit of credit
(9:07:37 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm just saying... whenever people told me how they were voting they gave me no other reason other then thats what the majority wants. I don't see how im not giving people credit. It is a smart move to follow someones lead in voting someone off
(9:08:36 PM) Michael Skupin: no you're not giving people credit that they can't make up their own minds, no matter what someone else says or does
(9:08:53 PM) Michael Skupin: I am certainly no majority
(9:08:56 PM) Michael Skupin: I am one person
(9:09:33 PM) ishaltnotlie: Okay i did not want to start a fight. I apologize for my actions, I guess i was mistaken
(9:11:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: my goal for this tribe is that everyone has a voice and i was just making sure that was the case
(9:25:46 PM) Michael Skupin: thank you for the apology



So Michael called me out for my comments at tribal council. Rightly so because they were directed at him and I didn't really try to hide that fact. He was quite rude and he really disapproved of me expressing my opinion. However I didn't let up and just say you are right and I was wrong. I argued because I believe he's being a hypocrite. He knows he is the only reason Osten went home last night and people aren't going to go against him.

He is the big man on campus and I don't trust him. I can tell he doesn't like me and does not want to do the best for the tribe. He wants to do what is the best for him. After Parvati leaves I am going to have to prove to everyone that he is a canniving liar.

Also he basically told me Alex is his chief buddy. This sucks because I really liked Alex and now I am not so sure. But I am not assuming and will treat Alex with the same respect I treat everyone on our tribe.

Hopefully tree mail will be up before the second coming so we can get on with this game!

(11:05:41 PM) ishaltnotlie: Thank you for having my back. I really misread that guy
(11:05:58 PM) Alex Bell: not a problem, of course i have your back
(11:06:02 PM) ishaltnotlie: i try to look for the good in people but sometimes that good is not ofund
(11:07:19 PM) Alex Bell: this is true, but one has to have a positive outlook
(11:07:42 PM) Alex Bell: and i can see what you were trying to accomplish
(11:08:38 PM) ishaltnotlie: yea i think i went too far
(11:09:27 PM) Alex Bell: maybe a little, but you said how you were feeling
(11:09:30 PM) Alex Bell: there's nothing wrong with that
(11:11:13 PM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(11:12:55 PM) Alex Bell: all we can do is move forward from here
(11:14:41 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes i agree
(11:38:34 PM) Alex Bell: since we don't have anything tonight, i'm going to bed early



Alex seems to be a nice guy, however i feel like he is sneakier tthan Mike. Mike is atleast balntantly a lying manipulator. I will keep my eye on Alex. For now he seems like a nice guy, but people can be decieving.

However because I'm a guy that looks at the positive in people I will trust him until he proves that he can't be trusted.

(11:55:16 AM) ishaltnotlie: Hey
(11:56:09 AM) Judd (SI): Hi
(11:57:19 AM) ishaltnotlie: how are you
(11:58:11 AM) Judd (SI): Doing alright.
(11:58:14 AM) Judd (SI): How's your final 2?
(11:58:39 AM) ishaltnotlie: don't even go there...
(11:59:11 AM) ishaltnotlie: the second he started talking about how untrustworthy you were and saying stupid things... i completely disregarded that i ever said that
(11:59:39 AM) Judd (SI): Yes, I appreciate that.
(11:59:58 AM) Judd (SI): But you could have told me the reason why you wanted him around was because you had a deal with him or something.
(12:00:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: the whole save Osten thing had nothing to do with the deal. It was because despite his annoyance, the tribe was stronger with him then Parvati
(12:01:13 PM) ishaltnotlie: well i take that back... i didn't want to work with him. But even though he was not he he seemed to be at the beginning I still did feel bad about breaking the somewhat of a deal we had
(12:02:16 PM) ishaltnotlie: but yea i regret not telling people about it. But it happened day 1... i obviously did not know what kind of person he was... and i had no intentions of letting his survive past the second tribal council
(12:02:27 PM) Judd (SI): Right.
(12:02:34 PM) Judd (SI): Well what's done is done.
(12:02:45 PM) Judd (SI): He's not here anymore, so you don't have that final 2 deal to worry about anymore.
(12:03:27 PM) Judd (SI): But You/Elyse/Me or you/Osten...hard to know which one would have made it farther =P
(12:03:42 PM) ishaltnotlie: Haha
(12:03:51 PM) ishaltnotlie: I definately didn't want to rip my hair out when i was talking to you or her
(12:04:18 PM) Judd (SI): He started talking to me after we decided to sit him out.
(12:04:46 PM) ishaltnotlie: he kept telling me to give him a chance
(12:05:05 PM) ishaltnotlie: and i kept telling him if you aplogized for the first challenge
(12:05:13 PM) ishaltnotlie: people would probably keep you
(12:05:31 PM) ishaltnotlie: Of course however he kept being Osten
(12:06:27 PM) Judd (SI): Haha yes, there wasn't any reasoning with him really...
(12:06:45 PM) Judd (SI): I'm just trying to figure out if he's just playing that way because he's Osten or if he would play like that no matter who he was.
(12:08:36 PM) ishaltnotlie: I don't know what his actual Aim is but if he was trying to play like Osten, he did not do a good job
(12:08:53 PM) Judd (SI): Hahaha
(12:09:07 PM) Judd (SI): I think most of the time people who act like that play as a black person =P
(12:09:23 PM) ishaltnotlie: oh
(12:09:36 PM) ishaltnotlie: i guess that is a good point
(12:10:56 PM) Judd (SI): But just so you know, I don't care about you
(12:11:12 PM) Judd (SI): and Osten's final 2
(12:11:24 PM) Judd (SI): I'm focused on getting you me and Elyse to the end.
(12:11:35 PM) Judd (SI): Because still to this point you 2 are the ones I've connected the most with.
(12:11:41 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes
(12:11:44 PM) ishaltnotlie: it was a dumb deal
(12:11:46 PM) Judd (SI): And I connect with you the best on a personal level
(12:11:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: to make a final 2 the first time i talked to somebody
(12:13:18 PM) Judd (SI): Yeah.
(12:13:26 PM) Judd (SI): You made a deal with me the 2nd time we talked =P
(12:13:32 PM) Judd (SI): You're quick!
(12:14:35 PM) ishaltnotlie: well
(12:14:39 PM) ishaltnotlie: we had two long conversations
(12:14:51 PM) ishaltnotlie: Osten it was basically Hey, do you want a final 2 deal
(12:17:56 PM) Judd (SI): And you won't deny a deal =P
(12:18:07 PM) Judd (SI): But once you saw how he was you probably wish you did =P
(12:18:17 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes i did
(12:18:38 PM) Judd (SI): Haha
(12:18:40 PM) Judd (SI): Alright man!
(12:18:44 PM) Judd (SI): Gotta head to practice!
(12:18:46 PM) Judd (SI): We'll talk later
(12:18:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: Later Bud!
(12:19:42 PM) Judd (SI): See ya!


I was really hurt how big of a deal Judd made about the clearly false deal with Osten. I have never thought about taking anyone to the final 2 other then Judd and I feel like this put a real fissure in our realtionship. He tried to play it off but I can tell he doesn't trust me as much.

Its frusterating because I can't seem to do anyhting right. I try to save Osten for the good of the tribe and now I'm being accused of trying to keep me for my own personal. NO I WANTED TO KEEP HIM BECAUSE HE HAS LOGGED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.

I don't want to play this game anymore, I just want to be sent to Redemption Island so I can just spend time with God and not have to deal with all this stress.

Okay guys I have been holding somethingsecret for a very very long time, This is something very personal and I dont want you guys saying it to anyone cOUNTS THE SAME FOR THE PW''S Since they can see this , But First I need A Promise from every one of you, I need you guys to promise that you guys do not say this to anyone, Cause if you do that can really brake me down, But first I need you guys to swear that you guys wont say anything

Hopefully this is something that will bring us closer together. I feel for this guy. He reminds me of Cochran. He gets picked on a lot and I feel its my duty to make him enjoy this game.

So I talked with Candice and it was good. She was not as rude as the previous time we talked. I hope that if we do lose I can ask her about switching. I can promise her safety at the merge because I like her a lot more then Mike.

[16:40] Judd (SI): Criticism and no praise! =(
[16:40] Judd (SI): Sad bro.
[16:40] Judd (SI):
[16:40] ishaltnotlie: it was kind of funny
[16:40] ishaltnotlie: kind of vulgar
[16:40] Judd (SI): It had to be I think...
[16:40] Judd (SI): Because that's how he was.
[16:40] Judd (SI): I couldn't change his personality, you know?>
[16:40] ishaltnotlie: osten was a vulgar man
[16:40] Judd (SI): The Hosts would grade down I think.
[16:40] Judd (SI): And we need all the points we can get.
[16:41] ishaltnotlie: yes
[16:42] ishaltnotlie: i think should you put it all in one paragraphty
[16:42] ishaltnotlie: it would do well
[16:42] Judd (SI): Alright I will change it
[16:42] Judd (SI):
[16:42] Judd (SI): Long time no talk though!
[16:42] ishaltnotlie: yes definately
[16:43] Judd (SI): Hopefully you kept in character while you were gone so you don't slack here!
[16:43] Judd (SI): And we lost Elyse =(
[16:44] ishaltnotlie: i know
[16:44] ishaltnotlie: i think should be lose
[16:44] ishaltnotlie: it will be 3 to 3
[16:45] Judd (SI): I wouldn't be so sure...
[16:45] ishaltnotlie: oh
[16:45] ishaltnotlie: have you talked to one of them
[16:45] Judd (SI): Mhm.
[16:45] Judd (SI): You might not be happy but it's our best shot.
[16:45] Judd (SI): I have been talking to Ibe...he thinks he would have gone next if they went to tribal again.
[16:46] ishaltnotlie: i see
[16:46] ishaltnotlie: i talked to Ibe yesterday actually
[16:46] ishaltnotlie: and he claims to be a christian
[16:46] ishaltnotlie: God spoke to me a couple nights ago to talk to him
[16:46] Judd (SI): I'm glad you did!
[16:46] Judd (SI): Because he's our best bet at getting out of a tie.
[16:47] ishaltnotlie: yea
[16:48] ishaltnotlie: im not a fan of candice
[16:48] Judd (SI): Have talked to her only briefly when I won captain haha
[16:48] ishaltnotlie: she seems like she would be very good
[16:48] ishaltnotlie: at charming people into voting with her
[16:49] Judd (SI): Hm...
[16:49] Judd (SI): You better not give in.
[16:49] ishaltnotlie: i am married
[16:49] ishaltnotlie: i would never
[16:49] Judd (SI): Words man...those are words.
[16:49] Judd (SI): But I say we vote her out anyways!
[16:49] Judd (SI): Then your only temptation will be me!
[16:50] Judd (SI): But you've already given in...
[16:50] Judd (SI): Oh well.
[16:50] ishaltnotlie: hah that is humorous
[16:51] Judd (SI):
[16:52] ishaltnotlie: but yes i agree
[16:53] Judd (SI): I don't know how flippable Colby would be, but if we have Ibe we won't need Colby.
[16:53] ishaltnotlie: that is a valid point
[16:54] Judd (SI): And i think we'll have Ibe...and if he flips he'll stick with you and I.
[16:54] Judd (SI): So we'd have him for merge...once he flips there would be no going back for him.
[16:54] ishaltnotlie: yes
[16:54] Judd (SI): So what is your plan?
[16:55] ishaltnotlie: my plan?
[16:55] Judd (SI): Still you me and Elyse final 3?
[16:55] ishaltnotlie: yes
[16:55] Judd (SI): Yeah, your plan for the game.
[16:56] ishaltnotlie: oh
[16:56] ishaltnotlie: i just want to be honest and unified.
[16:56] ishaltnotlie: I still like Mahtava minus Michael
[16:56] Judd (SI): =O
[16:56] Judd (SI): Me too!!
[16:56] Judd (SI): Well I plan for Mahtava to go as far as we can together!
[16:57] Judd (SI): And I know Alex and Michael will need to be split.
[16:58] ishaltnotlie: yes
[17:02] Judd (SI): Did you work on the idol at all?
[17:02] ishaltnotlie: a little bit
[17:03] ishaltnotlie: i did season 1 - 6
[17:03] ishaltnotlie: everyone who was voted out
[17:03] ishaltnotlie: 6-1
[17:03] ishaltnotlie: just the first names
[17:03] Judd (SI): How did that work for you? haha
[17:03] ishaltnotlie: not well
[17:04] Judd (SI): Haha
[17:04] Judd (SI): I thought it was the same thing =\
[17:04] Judd (SI): But not seasons 1-6 just anyone in the series who was voted off 6-1 so far
[17:04] ishaltnotlie: i just got bored after that
[17:04] Judd (SI): Hm...maybe it's just someone from any of the 23 seasons
[17:05] ishaltnotlie: maybe
[17:07] Judd (SI): Wanna split the seasons?
[17:07] Judd (SI): We could also split with Elyse.
[17:07] Judd (SI): That will make it go faster
[17:07] ishaltnotlie: sure
[17:07] ishaltnotlie: i have to go for a bit
[17:07] ishaltnotlie: I will be back after class and dinner
[17:07] ishaltnotlie: probably around 9:30
[17:07] Judd (SI): Ok cool!!!
[17:07] Judd (SI): See you then!


We have decided that the manipulative Candice will be the next to leave and both have moved on with our orginal hate of Ibrehem. We talked about splitting the idol answers but im not really sure that the answer is so easy. My Uncle told me that you have to look outside the box and that is what I fully intend to do.

(12:49:45 AM) Judd (SI): Are you doing puzzles?
(12:49:54 AM) Judd (SI): Or are you going to do endurance?
(12:50:41 AM) ishaltnotlie: Puzzles i guess
(12:51:13 AM) Judd (SI): Ok, maybe we should have John do this because I won't have time tomorrow to do endurance...at least not for a good amount of time.
(12:51:23 AM) Judd (SI): Between church and homework I'll be swamped.
(12:51:50 AM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(12:51:53 AM) ishaltnotlie: i have a lot of homework
(12:51:57 AM) Judd (SI): No worries.
(12:52:02 AM) Judd (SI): I'll just have John step in/
(12:53:32 AM) ishaltnotlie: k
(12:58:06 AM) ishaltnotlie: how ya doing
(12:58:13 AM) Judd (SI): Good man!
(12:58:16 AM) Judd (SI): Tired, busy.
(12:58:26 AM) Judd (SI): Trying to get all my grades up before the semester ends haha
(12:58:29 AM) Judd (SI): How about you?
(12:58:47 AM) ishaltnotlie: yea same
(12:59:06 AM) ishaltnotlie: trying to find time to still be active in this game
(1:00:06 AM) Judd (SI): Haha it's been a struggle, that's for sure.
(1:00:11 AM) ishaltnotlie: :/
(1:00:38 AM) Judd (SI): And all the long amounts of time it's taken for challenges to take place and end has been hard along with my busy life.
(1:02:04 AM) ishaltnotlie: :/
(1:02:50 AM) Judd (SI): But we gotta win this challenge and then this whole game shifts in our favor.
(1:05:28 AM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(1:05:41 AM) ishaltnotlie: i was surpised they voted out Ashley
(1:05:43 AM) ishaltnotlie: not a smart move
(1:05:54 AM) Judd (SI): She didn't do the challenge.
(1:06:00 AM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(1:06:03 AM) ishaltnotlie: but
(1:06:16 AM) ishaltnotlie: jenna and mikayla should be loyal
(1:06:42 AM) Judd (SI): Yeah...if they weren't with Skupin =X
(1:06:52 AM) ishaltnotlie: hm?
(1:07:01 AM) Judd (SI): All those girls are wrapped around Skupin, even Elyse.
(1:07:08 AM) ishaltnotlie: nooo
(1:07:12 AM) ishaltnotlie: really?
(1:07:32 AM) Judd (SI): Colby spilled everything to me the other night.
(1:07:46 AM) Judd (SI): Said he was friends with Skupin but doesn't like where everything was headed.
(1:07:57 AM) ishaltnotlie: where does Alex stand?
(1:09:16 AM) Judd (SI): Close to Skupin.
(1:09:27 AM) Judd (SI): But...I think I can swing him (hopefully) if needed.
(1:09:40 AM) Judd (SI): But Skupin will need to go down early when we get the chance.
(1:11:10 AM) ishaltnotlie: im not sure
(1:11:15 AM) ishaltnotlie: i want to stay loyal to Mahtava
(1:11:44 AM) ishaltnotlie: i don't know if i could consiously vote out someone from our tribe before someone from the others
(1:13:07 AM) Judd (SI): Understandable...but voting someone out sho is going to do it to you first?
(1:13:14 AM) Judd (SI): *who
(1:13:54 AM) ishaltnotlie: hm
(1:14:00 AM) ishaltnotlie: again
(1:14:07 AM) ishaltnotlie: i want us 6 to stay strong
(1:14:13 AM) Judd (SI): Suit yourself.
(1:14:24 AM) Judd (SI): Skupin doesn't seem to have any intention of that.


Me and Judd are on oppisate pages on how to play this game moving forward. I am on the firm belief that Mahtava will stick together because we are a family. On the other hand Judd feels that Skupin is too dangerous.

While Skupin is a sneaky man I am not going to stoop down to his level. I am the better man, I am the more honest soul. I am not a monster...

Judd's realtionship with Colby scares me... what happened to Mahtava... why is everyone now making deals with the other tribe. I have not and don't plan on voting anyone on our tribe before every single Calua leave.

I have not made a deal with any of them and don't plan on it... I bleed Mahtava and that is how it is going to be plain and simple. If you are going to betray the trust we made as a group of 6, I am going to call you out. I am not afraid of confrontation, I will not betray but I will not be bullied.

(4:28:31 PM) Judd (SI): Didn't I tell you how much Miki talked to me before the game?
(4:28:40 PM) Judd (SI): I knew if you didn't pick me Miki would....
(4:28:42 PM) Judd (SI): But it's alright.
(4:28:45 PM) ishaltnotlie: im sorry
(4:28:55 PM) ishaltnotlie: i did not think she would
(4:29:01 PM) ishaltnotlie: i wanted us three to be togehter
(4:29:34 PM) Judd (SI): I wish we were...
(4:29:40 PM) Judd (SI): I hope I can last over here...
(4:29:56 PM) ishaltnotlie: how long do you thin kthe swap will last
(4:30:22 PM) Judd (SI): Hopefully not too long...
(4:30:34 PM) ishaltnotlie: i picked Ibrehem over Mike
(4:30:40 PM) ishaltnotlie: so my tribe can lose a challenge
(4:30:54 PM) ishaltnotlie: and vote him out
(4:31:47 PM) Judd (SI): Ha, well Mike is who I'm scared of atm
(4:31:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: hm
(4:32:24 PM) ishaltnotlie: so you think the 3 calau will stick together
(4:32:56 PM) Judd (SI): I hope not.
(4:33:16 PM) Judd (SI): But I'm afraid that what Colby told me is true and then Skupin might work with those 2 and get one of us out.
(4:33:17 PM) ishaltnotlie: i think you and Colby got along well right?
(4:33:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: oh
(4:33:23 PM) Judd (SI): Yeah we did.
(4:33:42 PM) Judd (SI): But Colby and Skupin are good friends so I'm hoping I can get Colby and Skupin to work with me and have majority.
(4:33:48 PM) ishaltnotlie: i see
(4:35:41 PM) ishaltnotlie: that soulds like a good plan
(4:36:08 PM) Judd (SI): I hope it can work out...
(4:36:16 PM) Judd (SI): Or just that my tribe doesn't go to Tribal haha
(4:36:28 PM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(4:36:31 PM) ishaltnotlie: i know Ibrehem is out first
(4:36:44 PM) ishaltnotlie: i guess Christa would be seocnd
(4:36:52 PM) ishaltnotlie: Christa is cool though
(4:37:53 PM) Judd (SI): She seems nice.
(4:37:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes she does


Judd was upset that I didn't pick him and he is worried that he won't make it. He is confident that we can swing Colby and Mike. I do not like that because I don't want him to like Mike more than me.

I told him I would consider throwing it but as of now I don't feel really comfortable in doing that. We will see what happens though.

[Brandon Johnson]

(4:44:53 PM) Judd (SI): I'm leaving.
(4:45:04 PM) ishaltnotlie: are you sure?
(4:45:19 PM) Judd (SI): More than likely.
(4:45:24 PM) Judd (SI): Because Miki started the challenge without me...
(4:45:30 PM) Judd (SI): But then left in the middle of it and came back.
(4:45:41 PM) ishaltnotlie:
(4:45:43 PM) Judd (SI): Like wtf. Why would you start the challenge when you're going to leave in the middle of it.
(4:46:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: that is unfortunate
(4:46:25 PM) ishaltnotlie: I really hope that you don't leave
(4:47:33 PM) ishaltnotlie: you could talk to the girls
(4:47:42 PM) ishaltnotlie: about the fact that Colby and Mike need to be split up?
(4:48:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: because I am sure they would not want a tie if they lost the next challenge
(4:49:06 PM) Judd (SI): Yeah I know...
(4:49:22 PM) Judd (SI): But I'm not sure who Colby and Skupin are with...like if I tell the wrong person then it just seals my fate.
(4:49:46 PM) ishaltnotlie: oh
(4:49:51 PM) ishaltnotlie: you are worried Mikayla and Candice aren't a duo
(4:49:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: and that one of them is with Colby and Skupin
(4:50:18 PM) Judd (SI): Mhm.
(4:50:32 PM) ishaltnotlie: that sounds tricky
(4:50:37 PM) Judd (SI): Probably Miki is with them.
(4:50:54 PM) Judd (SI): Skupin was never on the same tribe as Candice...so the only way they would be aligned is if they had a pre-game alliance.
(4:51:05 PM) ishaltnotlie: yea
(4:51:10 PM) ishaltnotlie: but Candice and Colby were on the same tribe twice
(4:52:45 PM) Judd (SI): Mhm...
(4:52:49 PM) ishaltnotlie: but I have faith in you my brother
(4:52:54 PM) Judd (SI): But he doesn't seem to think Candice can be brought in.
(4:53:01 PM) Judd (SI): Thanks.
(4:53:19 PM) ishaltnotlie: I wish I could help
(4:54:01 PM) Judd (SI): You could have.
(4:54:39 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes
(4:54:47 PM) ishaltnotlie: and I am really sorry for not picking you
(4:56:22 PM) ishaltnotlie: but we cannot change the past so I wish you the best luck and will be praying for your safety
(4:57:01 PM) ishaltnotlie: because it is still my goal to get myself, you and Elyse in the finals
(5:00:42 PM) Judd (SI): I just didn't know I had to ask you to pick me...I expected it so I guess it's my fault.
(5:01:06 PM) ishaltnotlie: ...
(5:01:31 PM) ishaltnotlie: I wanted to pick you but I wrongly assumed that Elyse would be more likely to have been taken by Mikayla which is why I picked her first
(5:02:03 PM) Judd (SI): But at least that would mean Elyse is good with Mikayla meaning she would be in a more safer spot at this point...
(5:02:09 PM) Judd (SI): It's really easy for girls to rally together it seems.
(5:02:31 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm not liking how agressive you are getting with me
(5:02:47 PM) ishaltnotlie: I made a mistake... I wanted to get us three to be on a tribe together and this was the best way do that
(5:02:51 PM) Judd (SI): I'm not being aggressive. I was just stating.
(5:02:53 PM) ishaltnotlie: I apologized for that mistake
(5:02:57 PM) Judd (SI): I know you did.
(5:03:04 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm hurt you're still rubbing this mistake in my face
(5:03:08 PM) Judd (SI): I'm not mad at you...I'm frustrated with the situation.
(5:03:16 PM) Judd (SI): Because I don't want to leave.
(5:03:23 PM) ishaltnotlie: I don't want you to leave either
(5:04:28 PM) ishaltnotlie: I'm sorry for speaking up. You have a right to be frusterated at me
(5:04:39 PM) Judd (SI): You're fine.
(5:04:49 PM) Judd (SI): I just don't know what to do.
(5:06:45 PM) ishaltnotlie: You are an intelligent guy. You can figure it out
(5:07:11 PM) Judd (SI): I sure hope so.
(5:11:16 PM) Judd (SI): Haha Ibe just IMd me =P
(5:11:21 PM) Judd (SI): Classic
(5:11:30 PM) ishaltnotlie: he is not on your tribe though
(5:11:35 PM) ishaltnotlie: would he be of any use?
(5:12:03 PM) Judd (SI): To us?
(5:12:11 PM) Judd (SI): He just told me what you said =P
(5:12:20 PM) ishaltnotlie: i was being honest with him
(5:12:27 PM) Judd (SI): I know you were haha
(5:12:36 PM) Judd (SI): You explained it to me when you did it =P
(5:13:00 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes that is right
(5:13:33 PM) Judd (SI): He might be useful to us, but assuming a Calua goes home at my tribal, we have all the numbers for Mahtava to stick to the end anyways.
(5:13:42 PM) Judd (SI): So really no Calua is beneficial for us at this point.
(5:13:46 PM) ishaltnotlie: I believe
(5:13:59 PM) ishaltnotlie: if you are able to get the girls to vote out Mike
(5:14:04 PM) ishaltnotlie: Christa will vote with us
(5:14:11 PM) Judd (SI): She doesn't like Skupin?
(5:14:32 PM) ishaltnotlie: no she came back from redemption
(5:14:37 PM) ishaltnotlie: and I think was hurt by her other tribe
(5:14:48 PM) ishaltnotlie: and she is spirtual as well and gave God the credit for her win
(5:15:10 PM) Judd (SI): But why would that make her vote with us if Mike is gone?
(5:15:21 PM) Judd (SI): Or were you just saying if a Mahtava left you think we'd have Christa?
(5:15:22 PM) ishaltnotlie: I mean if you get a Calau out we don't need her vote
(5:15:27 PM) Judd (SI): *Skupin
(5:15:37 PM) ishaltnotlie: yes
(5:15:41 PM) Judd (SI): But if a Mahtava went we would have her.
(5:15:53 PM) ishaltnotlie: that is correct
(5:15:56 PM) Judd (SI): Got it.
(5:16:08 PM) Judd (SI): Well I'm not going to try to get Skupin out at this point...
(5:16:20 PM) Judd (SI): I have to try and get Skupin to stay on my side and then bring one more over.
(5:16:36 PM) ishaltnotlie: okay I have confidence you can do that


I thought long and hard about giving Judd the idol at this tribal council but I honestly don't think it would be that helpful. If God wants Judd out of the game, he will be eliminated regardless if I give him the idol or not. It is out of my hands.

I got annoyed with him because he once against brought up my blunder in the tribe swap. It hurts that he thinks so little of me. That I am a strategic failure. I just wanted us three to be together. He seems to think that he can get a Calau to switch but I'm not sure that is the most realistic oppurtunity.

Judd is a good player however and if there is a will there is a way and he will survive to reunite with me in the merge. However I will stand by by my no throwing a challenge stance because in this crazy game you always want to be safe and intentially losing seems foolish.
