My fantastic insight is I find it hysterical it's day 2-3 and Les Cayes cannot pronounce Chandni's name. XD

SAM I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THE SAME THING GMTA

I feel like an awful person, but every time I watch Charlie's confessional I think my IQ drops a few points. Also, I still can't understand some of the things he is saying since he slurs.

Les Cayes couldn't even communicate making a flag which spells absolute DISASTER. Seriously, I don't think you could have put a more dysfunctional group of people on the same tribe. Also, I agree with Alex that Kevin/Chandi > Brandon/Ashlee/Katie/Charlie. Although, Kevin has kind of screwed himself by bragging and rubbing people the wrong way. I don't get why these players keep bringing up past experiences... it has been so annoying. People should start out fresh rather than worry about petty past arguments, tiffs or whatever.

Finally, I did watch Kevin's confessional and he desperately needs to adjust his volume ;(. I think to me the funniest part about it was that he seems to think that Charlie is with him (F2 power alliance = major LOL). Also, his minor freak about potentially losing was hilarious. He says he has faith in his tribe winning, but hunny you're going to need a miracle more or less.

I like that Ash is so aware of her surroundings. You can tell that the girl has game, it is unfortunate that her youth is being her downfall when she is clearly someone who understands the game for the most part. I really enjoy add, she is kind of a little different than the others but I really like that quirkiness she has about her. I am SO glad that Jacmel is such a power tribe so that her and Derek can stay around for the long run.

SO glad I'm not alone on the Chandni/Kevin train. It looks like they are going to lose though, which makes me sad because for the fourth season in a row one of my favorites would be first boot. I am still hoping that LesGayes butchers their flag instead and I can just be NOT cursed.

It's part of the FB ORG community that you talk about your experiences with people. War story-ing is fun, and since it's the only thing a lot of these people have in common, they probably see it as an ice-breaker. I think they also assume it's going to come out, anyway, and they don't want to get caught holding back. But I agree, it's dumb. It paints some pretty big targets in the beginning of the game when a first boot is all about some random choice that makes that first vote as easy as possible.

Bitches need to keep this shit locked down, but they never do.

It's nice that Les Cayes did their homework and studied previous seasons flags to get an idea of what were the winning designs, the thing is though is that Chandni is in charge and just wants to copy Corazón's shot for shot which pisses off Hodges.

Extremely happy that Jacmel is dominating AS EXPECTED! #Yappownage

Ash is 15, what. That is crazy

[penny]

Wow, that’s a lot of chatter! I watched the first few seconds of each confessional that was posted by yesterday afternoon, and listened to the rest as I worked. I purposely waited until today to write up my thoughts, because I wanted to see what/who stuck with me and what/who fell by the wayside.

Liberte 10
I do like Amanda, but I agree with whomever said she needs to focus more on building relationships within her tribe and not so much on relationships that already exist between people who are on other tribes. I’ve never seen her play, only host, so I hope she can walk the talk.
I really like Cristina. She’s brand new to ORGs, and she’s playing like it’s her second…third…fourth time out. She gets people and seems to have grasped the mechanics of the game quickly.
Vic … I’ll be honest. I only listened to the short confessional. Ain’t nobody got time to listen to half an hour of confessionals. Hell, if he’s spending that much time on confessionals, when is he playing???
Jacob is an adorable nerdy guy, seems really confident and I bet he is great at making his tribe mates feel comfortable.
If Liberte loses, I’d be ok with Jess or Taylor going home.

Jacmel 30
I adore Ash. I’m going to have to start her fan club. She’s young, quirky, self-aware… She really does remind me of myself at that age. I can see myself getting very ‘mama bear’ if she’s voted out.
How could anyone NOT like Nikki? I kept hearing her name in the community, but this is the first time I’ve been able to see her play, and I just adore her exuberance! It’s positive, it’s contagious… she’s everything the game should be.
I really really really like Jared. His voice is still kind of grating, but he’s very insightful and he makes me laugh. I hope he finds a way to relate to the younger people.
Yapp is just too ADD for me. He repeats himself, stumbles over his words…if he does this in conversations with his tribe mates, it will come off as disingenuous, and they won’t keep him.

Les Cayes 5
I want to like Katie, but two different people mentioned that she was thinking of quitting. We all know how I feel about quitters. 0_0
Hodges is another noobie, and I really like his attitude and approach to the game. I also adore his little hat.
Ashlee seems nice; takes notes. If she can’t get out of her head, she won’t do well in this format.
I really wanted to like Chandni, but it seems like her youthful exuberance is going to interfere with her ability to build relationships.
OMG I still just can’t even with Charlie.

Unless Les Cayes manages to put together an amazing flag, one of them will go home, and I’m betting it’ll be Chandni (or maybe Katie.)

Thoughts on the rest of the cast:

Kevin:
- his fav survivor contestant is Rupert? ............
- omg he has never had starbucks because the closest one to him is an hour away....lol where does he live and has he never gone anywhere else?!
- lol his evil laugh about Charlie having the target on him for being the leader
- love his attitude about not caring about other games

Nikki:
- I love her! She's so cool and so pretty, and I feel like she'll play a great game

Taylor:
- He's so cool! I love him, he seems like he'd be so much fun to talk to
- I love his confessional when he was sitting outside at night <3 So nature-esque
- I love that he knows his iS history and that last season a tribe did facepaint!

Vic:
- lol love how if he's in the game, he purposely doesn't make plans <3
- he doesn't drink coffee! uh oh, just lost joe purcell points.
- HIS DOG IS SO CUTE <3
- that's so cool he has a twin brother!
-lol he started his confessional dancing to the intro music, like Sam did last season
- LOVE VIC <3

Yapp:
- He's so cute and sweet and seems so much fun!!!!
- LOL his fangirling over Jessica Frey LOL LOVE IT
- lol love how he thnks that Zavi liking both him and Jared's check-in comment will give away their pregame friendship...talk about paranoid haha
- awh i love how he says "don't blame Ricky for casting" <3
- love his commentary about the challenge <3

Wow finally done with first impressions!!!
- How is he playing 3 games?!

[craig]

In Yapp's defense, one of the games he's playing doesn't require much effort and is almost done. The challenges are MINI GAMES on the COMPUTER (like tetris or 2048 or something) and is nothing compared to isurv1vor.

I hated playing those games. Seriously. It's from the same community that Kevin/Ash/Chandni/Taylor come from. I think Yapp is the only person from that community that will do well. Taylor I could also see making merge.

I am starting to warm Kevin's spot up in the #FirstBootClub. Should I start making his crown now?

I actually think Kevin might be saving himself by making that male alliance with Charlie/Hodges. It's an insanely stupid alliance concept imo, but it could save him. Here's why.

Step 1: Kevin finalizes the male-lliance.
Step 2: Hodges/Charlie tell Kevin they don't trust Chandni/Kevin's relationship, and would prefer a Chandni first boot.
Step 3: Kevin might have to sacrifice Chandni to commit to his man-alliance.

This way Charlie/Hodges have Kevin under wraps, and of course Charlie/Hodges have Ashlee as their main alliance with Katie as a number. Chandni could also be leaving first.

Hell, if Kevin really commits to the men, then Katie might leave next. Kevin might be saving himself and he doesn't even know it.
