Erinn was voted out. Shocker. Anyways, Sierra is going to the Temple and will have some advantage or something else along those lines. I think I'm in an alliance with Sierra and Fabio now as well, which those two manufactured. I like being incorporated in a deal with the person who had to go headfirst into whatever horror John put in the Temple. Besides that, it's been a quite day for the most part. Also, RC/Todd are once again as boring as ever. It's so hard to talk to them, because they never keep the conversation going. If we lose anymore challenges, I wanna take out Todd and then RC in that order.

My alliance with Fabio and Sierra is now named "Sierra & Udes" because she misspelled dudes. I like it. I like having this deal with her, so it's a safety web. Her bond with Reynold means that he probably won't target Fabio or I at all, so if we lose, I'm gonna push for Todd to go. The dude is always online, and I've had to initiate every single conversation. He's so, so uninteresting but has this air as if he's constantly excited. He and I aren't gonna be working together at all, and I think we both know it. We didn't click, and that's gonna bite him in the ass.
The only concern I have with the Sierra deal is that Corinne doesn't like her, and will probably want to target her. I'm gonna try and do my best to talk to Corinne about taking out Todd, a floater who nobody trusts and maybe RC, who's proved herself to be shady. I wanna keep both sides from fighting each other right now because getting caught in the middle of firefight is bound to be trouble.

This challenge is gonna be bad for me. While I'm good with computers, I have minimal Photoshop/Gimp knowledge and this is the kind of challenge that needs either. Now, I still want to help plan for the challenge. I might not be some artistic wizard, but I wanna pitch in and contribute to the challenge. The issue is, after the challenge gets announced, almost everyone started hopping offline. It kind of ruins the point of planning something if you leave partway through. Now there's only Sierra, Todd, and I online to figure this out, and if you pay any attention to my confessional at all you'll know how I feel about Todd. Sierra also has no skills like this, but she isn't doing the challenge. Why? She has her reasons, I'm sure. I think we're screwed on this one, because there's no communication going on as a group. Sierra is the closest thing to a leader, and it's mostly because she has no issues threatening other and picking fights. Even though she is funny and I adore her, our tribe will crash and burn with her in charge.

We're all like little kids, learning from Todd as he teaches us to use GIMP. It's a handy skill to have, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad to have Todd. I've learned how to "colorify" a picture of the Wuyi Mountains into a purplish color. I also created the template for what we're using in the challenge, so hopefully that's justification enough to send me to the Temple over Todd, even though he pretty much earned it. I wanna see what's inside the Temple this time.

Jesus ours looks terrible. The original model we had made was way better, but the "flag" was wider and shorter than what we had practiced. I was the only rookie who was able to improvise well and figure out the scaling, but the portraits look bad. I don't blame Todd, because he had to do the bulk of the work, but I think we're losing this challenge and going 0-2. If we go to TC, we're gonna have to keep the vote off of Corinne. Todd worked his ass off in the challenge, so people might not wanna go for him if we have to vote. I think RC might be a better target. She's shady and she was aggressive and obnoxious during the challenges, whining about having to wait and complaining that Todd wanted to do it all. Umm, Todd's doing almost all of it because he's good at this and we aren't. The issue there is Sierra and RC have connected, and she's gonna be swinging hard for Corinne, because Corinne didn't submit anything. I hate to say it, but I might have to just cut my losses and move on without Corinne, if saving her gets too difficult. I think I'm gonna work on Todd for this vote, and hope he and RC haven't bonded.
Meanwhile, the Temple...apparently results are randomized if there's a tie, so I wanna tie it up with PG/Corinne/Fabio/myself all voting for me, and hoping we can get someone else to flip. If we can, I potentially have an advantage in the game, and I like advantages. If not, oh well, Todd looks like a bigger target due to the Temple. Either way I think it works out, but I'd rather have an advantage than someone else having a disadvantage.

PG seems a little too eager to cut Corinne, and I don't like it. After revealing to Corinne that Sierra placed her on the hot seat (info via Fabio), she really wants Sierra gone. I understand getting targeted sucks, but we have a better chance of flipping someone if we vote RC. Who will stick their neck out for her on a re-vote? Meanwhile, Sierra has Reynold, and while I like booting bigger targets, I have a tentative deal with her. Breaking the deal so early is a bummer, but I'm gonna roll with it. Keeping Corinne is way more important than keeping Sierra in this game, especially if she has an idol/idol clue after her terrible "I tried to go for an advantage in the challenge but they did too so instead I got a penalty" story. Maybe I'm a cynical asshole (lol at the maybe part), but I do not buy it at all. It seems so shady, and I don't like shady. Wuyi is a mess, and not the Casaya kind where there's a lot of success. We're like the Ulong kind, where we lose a lot and suck and squabble.
