Episode 5- Absorption!

[a11an]

I LOVE this!! I cannot wait to see what happens!

(Former) Liberté made me take this picture.

omg i love that picture <3

It's hard to root for Liberte when they've dominated so far, but I find it hard not to. :3 #TEAMLIBERTE!!!!

Loving that they think this is a merge when they've not been told SPECIFICALLY that it is one.

Just fourteen people hanging out.

The amount if laughs I've had with everyone's confessionals talking about merge is hilarious. I can't wait to see their reaction videos.

Hodges is kind of in the drivers seat now (Haha best pun). He is making the rounds and everyone wants to put him in. Mad props to him taking notes and being a social butterfly.

I LOVE Liberte right now, it's like a bunch of spoiled rich kids getting into the real world and realizing shit is actually happening, beautiful to watch really.

Jacob is immediately playing the best game out of everyone, blowing it out of the water in my opinion, so pleased with him and his insight. Taylor is over playing and if I hear "I am in a good spot with everyone" one more time I'm going to punch a baby in the face. Cristina is already super wary of everything going on. I'm like half #TeamAmanda here, like I mean she's just kind of accepting the fact that she might need Katie despite not really wanting to use her, whereas Katie is all for and actively searching out Amanda which is puke. Jess Frey/Jacob's relationship is definitely one of my favourite things in the game right now I've gotta say.

also lol at charlie/katie fucking up and revealing how close they are already, sorry Charlie, your irrational non-stop gameplay is not going to work here.

It kind of reminds me of Survivor Thailand, where the two tribes "absorbed" together and lived under one camp and everyone thought it was a merge when it wasn't. And poor Shi Ann (GODDESS) played too hard, too fast and tried to get with the other tribe and got voted out because of it. WHO IS GOING TO BE OUR SHI ANN?!?

But yeah, they weren't told specifically what is going on. Just that they are all living together. The word "merge" wasn't mentioned at all I don't think.

I am hopeful that we have Charlie on our side for now... he seems like he was on our side.. at least drunk Charlie was!

So Charlie is on their constant side.. #shade

Totally agree with Sam about being half Team Amanda in this situation. I really don't think Amanda intended on working with Katie, but she realizes it's kind of like Liberté v. Jacmel to get the Les Cayes people in order to gain numbers, so she's willing to try to pull in Katie if she has to. But on Katie's side, it seems like she didn't even want to consider anything else other than working with Amanda. Katie has so many options now, so it's frustrating to her be kind of close-minded in her thought process.

State of the Drunion Hati 2:

This is just delightful. Yay production yay! Gotta agree with Samm Jacob is playing this right. I just wonder if he has enough aggressiveness to do what it takes to be seen as a winner. Its very early thats my only concern with him so far though.

Vic- oyyeeee vey. Its one thing to like the girl. Don't make a 5 minute confessional of it. If you lose you are going to look like even more of a dope. Take it from this dope. STOP SAYING YOU LIKE HER AND MAKE SURE YOU VOTE HER OUT!!!!!

Nikki- Being gone is probably a blessing right now.

Jared- Keep it going!!!!!

Hodges- Feels like he is destined for the glory spot. Just the way these things work. Too much love in here.

Amanda/Katie- Lets boot them both together

Charlie- I have yet to watch a second of him. After seeing the scavenger hunt video I think I'm ok with that. Even if that makes me a bad PW.

Joanne-Good for you Trevor. I like her. Not sure how much game she has but keep doing what you are doing. You can learn as you go along if you play well socially.

Taylor- You my friend are going to have an entertaining fall.

Go everyone but Liberte. Sorry the the delay in PW-ing I intend on picking it up. Top 3 as of now: Jacob, Jared, Nikk, Vic is lurking hopefully Christina tells him about a boy she met or he gets friend zoned. The crush needs to end. Now. Its not sweet like Dillhole. Its not good gameplay like Audru. He needs the blood in his head not his penis.

Hi Dru, I love you.

[Woods]

So now they all live together... one big happy dysfunctional family.  Im thinking maybe 2 rounds and then they will split with two tribes of 6... love this twist. didnt see it coming, at all. Some Random thoughts after viewing confessionals...

Yapp... His stuff animal is the Haiti version of Gray's kangaroo onesie!  I don't know why this kid's confessionals annoy me but they do! 

Joanne! Why would you admit this is your first time playing? People are going to use that to their advantage... but I guess Joanne could play dumb and use the novice role to her advantage. I kind of want her to do good but not as good as Trevor. haha. 

Taylor... I feel like you are going to be one of the two people gone during my designated time frame for the absorption. He is like I talk to this person, that person, this person, the next person and that person. Dude, too hard too soon. People are going to talk and put 2 and 2 together and Taylor will be gone. I know he feels like he is working his charm... but I think this is going to backfire in his face, HARD. I really do like this kid though. Very genuine, very fun to watch in his confessionals.

From Jess -- " i just thought of this after talking with amanda. she is worried about taylor because he talks to everyone so i said taylor is the gretchen wieners of isurvivor haiti b/c he knows everything about everyone" --- the exact point I was making above... but I feel like coming from Jess, unfortunately, no one is going to listen to her! She is def. the dark horse in this game if she can make it a couple more rounds and build some relationships.... unless she starts something with Jacob who is playing this very smart by talking with Jessica! Jessica needs friends and Jacob is smart enough to realize no one else is working with Jess. He is playing a very good social game as well... but not in a threatening manner like Taylor. 

Jared really put this whole thing in perspective for me....  6 v.s. 5 v.s. 3... those THREE are going to be key to this round if everyone sticks their original tribes in the beginning of this phase of the game. Katie and Amanda team up... and I think Hodges will go with the good guys of Liberte as well... giving them majority... if everyone sticks together... but I dont think that will happen ... nor do I want it to happen. 

Very happy that Vic is onto the whole #MergeNotaMerge thing...  I can see the katie / amanda connection working... but I wouldn't put too much faith in Charlie. I would love if Amanda goes... for some reason, she annoys me as much as Yapp does! haha, Vic is a stud. Flirting with Jessica for a vote! Talk about a team player! 

I think a Jacmel will go this round... then Taylor will go the following... then they will be split into two tribes and it's a whole new game... I do like Vic's idea though about winner of this challenging picking new tribes somehow.

I don't really see this issue in this at all. If you're smart about it, being a first time player is actually the BEST game to play? It's helped Cristina ten folds, Hodges as well - the only time Hodges was in danger was when they thought he was lying about this being his first game.
