Episode Eight~

[Monica Padilla]

As the days go on I find myself feeling more and more comfortable here. I think the guys have fully embraced me as an equal member on their tribe which is a really great feeling. I don't feel like I'm on the outs and am slowly making my way in.

The tribe dynamic is kinda divided up with everyone knowing it, but at the same time everyone trying to act like were still one big happy family. The reality is I think most of us know that the only way any of us is going to have a shot at going far is by winning these challenges and having a lead in members going into a merge.

I do expect a merge soon, but not in the next couple days. Our tribe just need to be focused on these challenges so that we don't have to go to Tribal Council and vote off another member of our tribe.

[Monica Padilla]

As the Hahajima tribe came in I completely expected Richard to be voted off. It's obvious that the 4 girls are sticking together and that Tyson along with Chad are a close pairing. So Richard seems to be the odd man out!

I was shocked when I saw Andrea gone. I'm not sure what happened, but maybe those girls actually got rid of their dead weight finally?

Jeff immediately told us that for todays challenge we were going to have an Auction. The money we have earned thus far will come into use when bidding on items. I knew I didn't have much money to spend because I have been on losing tribes for most of the game. So my strategy was to raise the price very high on everything so that people had to max out the amount of money they had. This would prevent someone from getting more then one item. So I decided to just bid on a lot of things.

During the Auction Brianna was sent to Exile Island as she bid on it. She asked me for $100 before I left which I refused to give her. I honestly do believe that Dreamz has the idol already. I also wouldn't dream of giving Brianna the opportunity to find it. As far as I'm concerned she wrote down my name and trusted the wrong people so she doesn't deserve any type of help from me in this game. Plus when Richard gave her the $100 it became evident to me that those two have something going on.

Once the items were bid too high I decided to give my money to Matty. In exchange Matty said he would give me whatever the item was. So it was a good trade off in my opinion because really all I wanted was to make sure Tyson didn't get something.

At the end of the Auction it was announced that Matty was taken by the natives and would not be attending Tribal Council. Brandon also would be Immune from Tribal Council as well as both tribes going to Tribal Council. lol. So a lot is happening right now really fast and it does make me a tad bit nervous. Now that Matty has no vote this could change the dynamic of what might happen.

I definitely do not want to go home in this Double Tribal and so I'm hoping my name isn't brought up tonight. Things are certainly getting interesting fast.

{Conversation with Dreamz}

Asianxchick90210 2:16 pm
Hey!

Dreamz Big 2:16 pm
Hey! :-)
Whats up?

Asianxchick90210 2:17 pm
Oh nothing too much. How about you?

Dreamz Big 2:18 pm
Not a lot either. Getting ready to head out in the sun for the day, haha

Asianxchick90210 2:18 pm
Nice!

Dreamz Big 2:18 pm
mhm! Satisfied with you auction prize?

Asianxchick90210 2:18 pm
I didn't get one
lol

Dreamz Big 2:18 pm
Oh really?!
I thought you did lol

Asianxchick90210 2:18 pm
Nope
Tyson outbid me
How about yours? Happy?

Dreamz Big 2:19 pm
Oh, thats shit then

Asianxchick90210 2:19 pm
Yeah, I had little money to start with

Dreamz Big 2:19 pm
Yeah mines alright. Could be useful if I make merge lol

Asianxchick90210 2:19 pm
Nice!

Dreamz Big 2:19 pm
yup!
Has there been any word on the vote yet?

Asianxchick90210 2:20 pm
Your the first one I'm talking too

Dreamz Big 2:20 pm
same with you for me

Asianxchick90210 2:20 pm
So yeah I don't know whats going to happen
Matty can't vote
So that leaves 6 votes

Dreamz Big 2:20 pm
And Brandon is imune, so that makes 5 of us in danger lol

Asianxchick90210 2:20 pm
Yep
So its a tight spot all around

Dreamz Big 2:21 pm
It sure is. Really no place to hide at all.

Asianxchick90210 2:21 pm
Nope

Dreamz Big 2:21 pm
I'd just really hate to leave now.

Asianxchick90210 2:21 pm
Same
Cause we know the merge is around the corner

Dreamz Big 2:21 pm
Exactly.
I'd hate to go out before merge.

Asianxchick90210 2:21 pm
Same

Dreamz Big 2:22 pm
Do you have any thoughts on the vote?

Asianxchick90210 2:22 pm
I mean I feel like whatever I say won't really have much impact?

Dreamz Big 2:22 pm
Yeah, I hear you. I think its going to come down to either you, me or Fairplay leaving.

Asianxchick90210 2:22 pm
Cause like people are going to either say yes or no, if they say no I really have no pull to change it to a yes
Agreed
Which is why I would like to vote Fairplay

Dreamz Big 2:23 pm
Yeah, i would do that too.
We deserve to be here way more then him.

Asianxchick90210 2:23 pm
Agreed
He's never on
So we would need 1 more vote for him to leave since I think either of us could win a tie

Dreamz Big 2:23 pm
Yeah, me too.

Asianxchick90210 2:24 pm
But yeah I have no idea if you think you can get someone else to vote Johnny
I know I'm going to mention it, but I dunno if I have any influence to get it done

Dreamz Big 2:24 pm
Honestly, its going to be up to Big Tom. Whatever he does I feel like Brandon and Tom W will do.

Asianxchick90210 2:24 pm
Matty has no vote, but maybe he has influence

Dreamz Big 2:24 pm
Yeah, thats true.
He is still a part of the tribe, so maybe he can get someone else to vote FP with us.
I PM'd Brandon, but he never wrote me back off course.

Asianxchick90210 2:26 pm
About voting JFP or just the vote in general?

Dreamz Big 2:27 pm
well, if he voiced his opinion on wanting FP out it would be a bigger voice then ours, and I'm sure he will hear things, which he may let us know about,
But, anyways, I think thats our only bet. To try and get FP out over us.

Dreamz Big 2:29 pm
If I do hear your name mentioned though, I'll let you know and try to change it to Jon.

Asianxchick90210 2:29 pm
Same here

Dreamz Big 2:30 pm
Ok awesome. I'm going to take off for a bit, but I'll be back online later this evening.

Asianxchick90210 2:30 pm
Sounds good

Dreamz Big 2:30 pm
Goodluck! (Too both of us, lol)

Asianxchick90210 2:30 pm
lol yeah
Have fun at the beach

[Monica Padilla]

I definitely want Dreamz to stay, but I'm worried that he will be the one to go in the end. It seems like Brandon and Big Tom have wanted Dreamz out and that it would be tough to get Johnny out especially with Matty not having a vote. So I really am hoping that the two of us don't have to turn on each other to survive, but I'm thinking it just could be what happens in the end.

{Conversation with Tom W.}

Asianxchick90210 11:35 pm
Hey Tom

Tom Westman 11:38 pm

Asianxchick90210 11:42 pm
Not yet
I haven't been on since this morning

Tom Westman 11:42 pm
oh ok
coz some people were assuming they know how u were voting lol

Asianxchick90210 11:42 pm
Oh lol
How am I voting?
lol

Tom Westman 11:43 pm
matty said u were voting jfp lol

Asianxchick90210 11:43 pm
I haven't spoken to Matty
I only spoke to Dreamz this mornig
*morning

Tom Westman 11:43 pm
hes weird then lol

Tom Westman 11:43 pm
ahh
people are in a bit of hyysteria right now

Asianxchick90210 11:44 pm
Really?
lol only 3 of us are on right now
I guess I missed the hysteria?

Tom Westman 11:44 pm
yeah lol

Asianxchick90210 11:44 pm
Who are you wanting to vote?

Tom Westman 11:44 pm
matty and tom b wants dreamz

Asianxchick90210 11:45 pm
They want Dreamz to go

Tom Westman 11:45 pm
obv u will be the swing vote here
oh they want jfp
sorry im confused too lol

Asianxchick90210 11:45 pm
LOL

Asianxchick90210 11:45 pm
Okay..lol
So Tom B and Matty want JFP

Tom Westman 11:45 pm
yeah

Asianxchick90210 11:45 pm
Brandon and you want Dreamz?

Tom Westman 11:46 pm
yeah

Asianxchick90210 11:46 pm
And then Deamz and JFP are voting each other
So...ugh
lol

Tom Westman 11:46 pm
lol

Asianxchick90210 11:46 pm
How did this happen?

Tom Westman 11:46 pm
paranoia

Asianxchick90210 11:46 pm
Yeah clearly
I don't like being the tie-breaker at all
Do you feel like this is going to divide us going into the merge?

Tom Westman 11:46 pm
no
i feel wahtever happens people will just have to deal with i
it

Asianxchick90210 11:47 pm
Yeah I feel the same way, but I don't want to like have people mad at me for voting one way and not the other ya know?

Tom Westman 11:47 pm
its just that whoever will be left will be inclined to jump ship

Asianxchick90210 11:47 pm
I want like us to kinda all be on the same page with this

Tom Westman 11:47 pm
between jfp and dreamz i mean
but saving jfp
he will be more likely grateful towards us
and tom b will have nothing else to do but deal with it

Asianxchick90210 11:48 pm
You don't think JFP would go to Tyson/Rich/Chad?

Tom Westman 11:48 pm
no i dont

Asianxchick90210 11:48 pm
I never talk to JFP and I already voted him
That is my main concern with him

Tom Westman 11:48 pm
thats a valid concern

Asianxchick90210 11:48 pm
I mean I understand Dreamz is probably the bigger threat right?

Tom Westman 11:49 pm
i think if dreamz stay he will run back to tyson
he was not happy when tom b became father

Asianxchick90210 11:49 pm
You dont think Tom and Matty have something to keep him with them?
So why is Tom B defending him now?


Tom Westman 11:50 pm
because dreamz is good at making everyone think they are with him
he even made jfp think he was with him
he convinced jfp to vote for you
but i told him otherwise and now hes voting for dreamz
thats my main concern about dreamz

Asianxchick90210 11:53 pm
Right

Tom Westman 11:55 pm
im just saying if dreamz can easily throw your name out there

Tom Westman 11:55 pm
that just means you're really not valuable to him

Asianxchick90210 11:55 pm
Oh I know
I mean its not the first time he has right?
He did it when Cirie left

Tom Westman 11:55 pm
yeah prolly
i didnt get to talk to him last round

Tom Westman 12:01 am
so yeah thats my take on this

Asianxchick90210 12:03 am
And I feel like whichever way I vote someone is going to be mad at me
And that sucks because I don't want that other tribe staying united and then picking us off one by one

Tom Westman 12:06 am
yeah i know
i just think dreamz staying only benefits tom and matty
which isnt necessarily good

Asianxchick90210 12:07 am
I mean I think theyre Pros and Cons to each

Tom Westman 12:08 am
well ok so
list the pros and cons for each

Asianxchick90210 12:08 am
JFP
Pros

Asianxchick90210 12:08 am
Not as much of a threat
Not connected to many people
Cons
Wont be targeted before any of us in a merge
Could be with Tyson/Rich/Chad
Not social
Pros (Not good at challenges)
Dreamz
Pros
More social
Could have a power that could be of use (also a con)
Cons

Tom Westman 12:09 am
and do u know what power that is?

Asianxchick90210 12:09 am
More of a threat
Could be with Tyson/Rich/Chad
No I don't

Tom Westman 12:10 am
exactly
hes not even sharing that info to u
and he has already told tom b

Tom Westman 12:10 am
who told me and brandon

Asianxchick90210 12:10 am
What is it?

Tom Westman 12:10 am
see where the flow of communication is goig?
going
he can sit out two people in an immunity challenge

Asianxchick90210 12:13 am
Thats not that great

Tom Westman 12:14 am
true it isnt lol
my point is he wasnt willing to share that info with you
and mine really isnt that hard to figure out tho
i get a challenge advantage on any challenge i want

Asianxchick90210 12:14 am
Oh thats nice

Tom Westman 12:14 am
but can only be used one time

Asianxchick90210 12:14 am
Right
Probably best to use that the first vote we go into lol

Tom Westman 12:15 am
lol
well that wont be of use if dreamz stays
coz then he will just sit me out
then i will just be wasting the advantage

Asianxchick90210 12:15 am
You think he would sit you out?

Tom Westman 12:15 am
if he finds out i voted for him?
course he would

Asianxchick90210 12:15 am
Oh right

Tom Westman 12:19 am
i mean u know these guys want an all final 9 guys
tom b said that to me
im not certain i want that
i want you in on longer

Asianxchick90210 12:19 am
I don't want the girls around very long
I don't want Final 9 guys though lol

Tom Westman 12:19 am
i know but i dont want you gone yeah

Asianxchick90210 12:19 am
I mean why not Tyson to go first
He's like clearly mad at some of you

Tom Westman 12:20 am
yeah lol

Asianxchick90210 12:20 am
Tyson, Alexis, Brianna, Kelly Purple, etc.

Tom Westman 12:20 am
i think hes mad at me, brandon, tom b, matty

Asianxchick90210 12:20 am
Tyson, Alexis, Brianna, Chad, Kelly Purple
Some type of order like that

Tom Westman 12:20 am
yes well if u want that we cant keep dreamz around
coz im telling u he was very close to tyson
jfp is hanging by a thread
hes practically just a vote

Asianxchick90210 12:21 am
If I vote JFP

Asianxchick90210 12:21 am
Do you think Tom B is going to be mad?

Tom Westman 12:21 am
no

Asianxchick90210 12:21 am
I feel like its like signing my death warrent lol

Tom Westman 12:21 am
i already discussed it with him
he said we can do waht we want this round

Asianxchick90210 12:21 am
Cause whats to stop them from just being like "Okay were just going to get Alexis and them to vote you off now"

Tom Westman 12:21 am
the only person i really see getting mad if we vote out dreamz is matty
tom b knows i could vote dreamz and he may not be happy with it but he has no choice at this point but to go with it

Tom Westman 12:25 am
and if you're worried you're gonna get targeted
i will do all that i can for that from happening
i got your back 100%
i wouldnt tell you all that i know if i dont trust u completely

Asianxchick90210 12:32 am
Oh I know
Its just like a horrible decision either way
Im trying to think this out too
Like even long term
If Dreamz left
Were 4-2 within the group
If JFP left
Were 3-3 potentially

Tom Westman 12:44 am
which is really not good

Tom Westman 12:52 am
i wouldnt really want to tear this group apart this early

Asianxchick90210 12:55 am
Same here
I never thought it would be split
I kinda thought the majority would lean toward Dreamz

Tom Westman 12:55 am
well the only two who really want jfp out is tom and matty
where matty is not even here to begin with
i dont even get why matty is campaigning hard beyond jail

Asianxchick90210 1:19 am
True
I just realized I only have an hour left to vote lol

Tom Westman 1:20 am
lol

[Monica Padilla]

{Conversation with Brandon}

Asianxchick90210 11:35 pm
Hey Brandon

Brandon Hantz 11:38 pm
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEN
ALL MY LIFE
hey :-)

Asianxchick90210 11:38 pm
LIFE LIFE LIFE
lol

Brandon Hantz 11:38 pm
sup?

Asianxchick90210 11:39 pm
Nothing too exciting. How about you?

Brandon Hantz 11:39 pm
this n that

Brandon Hantz 11:40 pm
people talk to you about the vote?

Asianxchick90210 11:41 pm
Nope
I got your PM though

Brandon Hantz 11:41 pm
really?

Asianxchick90210 11:41 pm
I haven't been on since this morning

Brandon Hantz 11:42 pm
oh, I was mis informed but doesn't matter too much

Asianxchick90210 11:42 pm
Someone said they spoke to me?

Brandon Hantz 11:42 pm
catch ya up on speed I think you know who I kind of want out?

Asianxchick90210 11:42 pm
Dreamz?

Brandon Hantz 11:42 pm
they said you were voting fp
yeah dreamz

Asianxchick90210 11:43 pm
I haven't spoken to anyone except for Dreamz
And now I'm talking to Tom and you

Brandon Hantz 11:43 pm
no prob they were prob just trying to get me to vote fp

Asianxchick90210 11:43 pm
I mean I told Dreamz that I would probably be voting for JFP?
Maybe that's why matty said that?
Maybe Dreamz told him that

Brandon Hantz 11:45 pm
could be
Tom B told JFP the vote was you

Asianxchick90210 11:46 pm
kk

Brandon Hantz 11:46 pm
but jfp voted dreamz
then tom b and dreamz voted jfp
is what I think is going on right now

Asianxchick90210 11:47 pm
And then Tom and you want to vote out Dreamz?
TomW

Brandon Hantz 11:47 pm
pretty much

Brandon Hantz 11:47 pm
I was thinking us 3 and jfp could create something
matty and tom b were defending dreamz

Asianxchick90210 11:57 pm
Hmm
I wonder why Tom B switched all of a sudden

Brandon Hantz 11:58 pm
what do you mean?

Asianxchick90210 11:59 pm
I thought he wanted JFP to stay?


Brandon Hantz 11:59 pm
he did?

Asianxchick90210 11:59 pm
I thought so
I guess not though lol

Brandon Hantz 11:59 pm
lol

Asianxchick90210 11:59 pm
Has he always been on Dreamz side?

Brandon Hantz 11:59 pm
idk
ever since he told Dreamz what I said
is when I noticed it

Brandon Hantz (BrandonURTV) is available 12:21 am
www.haxball.com/?roomid=9ae20d3f7842932bec2e0e21f2c418b5f507f51b39de05c9fc0cdc17857eb6b5 5d and 0h ago
Brandon Hantz 1:15 am
you still there?

Asianxchick90210 1:19 am
Yes
Sorry

Brandon Hantz 1:19 am
what are you thinking about?

Asianxchick90210 1:20 am
A lot of things
Since Tom and I are talking about a lot of things
lol

Brandon Hantz 1:20 am
dating stuff
or game stuff?

Asianxchick90210 1:20 am
LOL
Game stuff

Brandon Hantz 1:20 am
lol

Brandon Hantz 1:25 am
you're not keen on dreamz leaving?

Asianxchick90210 1:26 am
I'm not keen on this vote being 4-3

Brandon Hantz 1:26 am
it cant be
only 6 vote

Asianxchick90210 1:27 am
Oh right
Oh wait

Asianxchick90210 1:27 am
So its 3 votes Dreamz, 2 votes JFP at this point
See that was confusing too

Brandon Hantz 1:27 am
yeah I think so

Asianxchick90210 1:27 am
I keep thinking Matty can vote

Brandon Hantz 1:27 am
no he can't vote

Asianxchick90210 1:28 am
So if I vote JFP it ties

Brandon Hantz 1:28 am
it does
then idk what happens

Asianxchick90210 1:28 am
tie-breaker I guess

Brandon Hantz 1:28 am
right but potential merge
unless you go with the girls on the other tribe
a tie would benefit you in that case

Asianxchick90210 1:42 am
I have no intention of going wit hthe girls

Brandon Hantz 1:43 am
then if it ties, Dreamz prob beats FP in tie breaker

Asianxchick90210 1:43 am
Its not on me though if it ties
Like my vote didn't decide who stayed and who left
It would be in their hands

Brandon Hantz 1:44 am
you don't want dreamz out
that's fine
but you should look at everyone in this cast

Asianxchick90210 1:45 am
Its not that I don't want Dreamz out

Brandon Hantz 1:45 am
so many people are having triple alliances with majority of people

Asianxchick90210 1:45 am
Its more that this decision is harder for me personally because I don't know JFP at all

Brandon Hantz 1:45 am
they can't all be loyal

Asianxchick90210 1:45 am
We have never talked
It really has nothing to do with who is voting for who as much as it does that
I mean I have no relationship with JFP
Which is why making this vote is tougher
If I like knew him and we talked then it wouldn't be so difficult

Brandon Hantz 1:46 am
I've talked to him maybe 3 times
one can go on an immunity run, be a social butterfly and do damage

Brandon Hantz 1:46 am
the other can't string a 7 word setence together
sentence
Big Tom's reason is on who will flip
he doesn't realize Dreamz knows he wants me out
knows I want him out*
why would Dreamz ever stick on our side
idk why Big Tom doesn't realize that, he's the one who squealed on me lol

Asianxchick90210 1:48 am
lol

Brandon Hantz 1:49 am
Brandon Hantz (12:48:04 AM): there is no way Dreamz will do that



Tom Thumb (12:48:53 AM): Why not
I think merge will just be a free for all

Asianxchick90210 1:50 am
eek

Asianxchick90210 1:51 am
UGH I hate this
I literally have my voting box open
lol

Brandon Hantz 1:52 am
I haven't voted yet either

Asianxchick90210 1:52 am
Your going to let Tom W vote on his own if I vote JFP?

Brandon Hantz 1:52 am
what?

Asianxchick90210 1:52 am
You said you haven't voted yet
So I was assuming how I voted was going to change how you voted

Brandon Hantz 1:53 am
oh no
I'm voting with Tom W
sorry

Asianxchick90210 2:12 am
Tom B is voting Dreamz now
I voted JFP

Brandon Hantz 2:12 am
what xD

Asianxchick90210 2:12 am
Yeah
lol

Brandon Hantz 2:13 am
he said that?

Asianxchick90210 2:13 am
Yeah he told me that

Brandon Hantz 2:13 am
did he say he did it b/c I'm a jerk?

Asianxchick90210 2:13 am
No lol

Brandon Hantz 2:13 am
lol
i bet he said it inside his head

Brandon Hantz 2:14 am
why would you vote jfp if he said he voted the other way?

Asianxchick90210 2:14 am
Cause now I know its not on me anymore

Brandon Hantz 2:15 am
what's that mean

Asianxchick90210 2:15 am
Like my vote isn't the determing vote
Of who stays and who goes

Brandon Hantz 2:17 am
oh

Brandon Hantz 2:19 am
are you and dreamz a pair?

Asianxchick90210 2:20 am
No
A pair?

Brandon Hantz 2:23 am
yeah

Asianxchick90210 2:23 am
No I never made any sort of alliance with Dreamz
Ask Johnny if hes talked to me since I first came on this tribe

[Monica Padilla]

This was not the one vote I wanted to make. I don't want my vote to decide if this vote enters into a tie or someone goes home. Being the kinda swing vote in this situation is not how I pictured this all going down. It just makes the boys seem very divided which in the long run is a good thing for me, but in the short run is dangerous. I can't have these guys after each other entering into a merge. If that happens the other tribe is going to pick us off one by one. So this is a bad spot to be in, but I have hope Dreamz is with us because I don't see how Johnny will be of any help to me.

I guess will see what happens tonight!
