Ok we have 27 players still in the game at this point. And tonight the tribes were divided. We were put into groups of 3 and competed against each other individually to see who would become captains to choose the tribe names, colors and the actual players on the tribe. We had to toss sausages at each other and they would fly for three minutes and you had to catch them in that time limit or else you were fucked!
My group had Myself, Amber, Shawna, Tom, Cochran, Jay, Matty and Semhar (that was actually the order the eliminations went). We went back and forth for a while but eventually I heard through the grapevine that the other two groups were done and that group 2 just did a random dice roll to let Matt win. So I talked Amber and Shawna into doing that also and I WON THE DICE ROLL! Cant believe I actually won a luck type thing cause I never fuckin do. So Amber, Shawna and I made a pact that no matter who won we would try to get each other on our tribe.
So then the 3 winners, Misty, myself and Matt moved to a private room to discuss tribe names, colors and Players. Then we got hit with a big twist. The other players would be choosing our teams for us. So Matt and I agreed to stack our teams with the best players and to give Misty all the worst people so that her team would be an epic failure, but she wanted us to all pick in an orderly fashion and everything, so the only solution then was to do that because she got to pick first and could have possibly given me someone terrible, so I just agreed to play nice and pick the people we really want. Which worked out well cause Misty wanted most the people I didnt care about having.
Matt and I had similar choices but we discussed them in private so our teams would be strong and we could get the right people that we wanted. Matt and I hit it off well and our tribes are kinda in a large alliance against Mistys tribe. I like the people on his tribe a vice versa so we were cool either way. So evetually everyone got picked. I picked Amber and Shawna first because I said I would, then Gregg and Bobby Jon because Ive connected with them the most. Then I picked Mick and Brenda because we talked once and the convos went well and then I saved Semhar for later because I knew nobody would take her and I could get her at any point and then Sophie was the best option of the last 3 players. The only players I was disappointed that I didnt get were Tom and Tammy. I would have picked Tammy but I had a stroke or something and forgot while looking at the list that I had just spent the whole night talking to Tammy and that I really liked her.......Love em and leave em I guess....But I do hate I didnt get Tammy for my tribe. i would have taken her over Brenda or Mick for sure had I have realized.
So then it came time to pick names and colors. I really like blue and would have went with that, I also think White or some shade of white would have been unique because Survivor rarely has white tribes (well I guess Cook Islands had a white tribe but thats not the same) but I chose the name Chorizo because it is a spicy, fiery sausage and that fit what I wanted for my tribe and I chose the color closest to the actual color of the sausage which was Red-Orange kinda.
Matts tribe is Salchicha which is sausage in another language. Probably like Portuguese or some shit and the color is black which is cool IMO. And Mistys tribe is Bayonaca, which is probably Bay-On-aca, but I keep seeing it as Bay-Onka....as in rhymes with NaOnka! So I really dont care much for the name, but they ended up with my favorite color. So that part of it was cool. So now my tribe is in place and Im ready to roll in this game. Heres hoping to break the Captain Curse!
