Sorry this is overdue:

We’re getting down the nitty gritty of the game now that most of the inactive have been eliminated or replaced, what is your standing within your tribe?

What do you make of the growing refuge tribe and would you prefer to end up there or stay on your tribe and be vulnerable?

Who is your closest friendship in the game? Who are you gelling with the LEAST?

Just so I don't get an INV edit for Episode 2, I have this very insightful comment to make - FUCK OFF LYDIA

I really like how our whole tribe has villified Lydia into some sort of monster She's just a sweet, little old lady who likes to sing and dance but if the rest of the tribe wants to think she's an ogre with skin like dragon scales and a soul as black as her cavity-filled teeth, then let them! Lydia for merge boot, perhaps?

Back on to Episode 3! My position on the tribe has only gone up! Hannah and I have solidified an alliance together even though it was born out of paranoia. Hannah sherlocked her way to assuming that an alliance consisting of Adam, Will, Zeke and Lucy existed and whilst I was offended she didn't think I was cool enough to be in the majority alliance, I went along with it and didn't tell her that I'm a part of that alliance too! This was sweet music to Lucy and I's ears as we needed Hannah closer to us than the boys and thus, a #BlackWidowBrigade2.0 was formed!
I guess Lucy and I are in the best positions on this tribe as we have two alliances to fall back on, everybody likes us! We can't help it that we're just so damn fabulous (this is the line you use if i get blindsided tonight)

Refuge right now is basically a spin-off of the Lucayan Tribe! Initially, I wanted to go into refuge to build bonds with the other tribe but I think I've already done that somewhat! Especially with Brian, he's definitely someone who I've got my eyes on when we swap. Also, I don't think I would be vulnerable if we go to more tribals so I don't feel like I NEED immunity right now.

My closest friendship right now is with Lucy because we're playing a very similar game, we're pretty much on the same wavelength with most things and plus, we can talk about anything from "Vaginas That Google" (don't ask, idek) to living legend Dame Maggie Smith! The person I've least gelled with is David due to him being a late addition, he needed a stellar social game to catch up but that he does NOT have

Sorry to be predictable but tonight David is going to be voted out which kinda sucks for him but it has to be done! He's not in any of my alliances, so he gotta go. I REALLY hope we don't have to go to any more tribal councils because then Lucy and I would have to betray one of our alliances and expose our cards and if we do decide to side with Hannah against the boys, we could end up with a rock draw situation...in the pre-merge!! I'd prefer to keep all the alliances alive going into a swap. Talking of the swap, the most worrying thing that not enough people are freaking out about are that after tonight, Taino will be down in numbers 8-6 so we really can't afford to lose another challenge because I wouldn't be surprised if the other tribe are a bunch of insufferable pagongers

...and that's the story in the life of Mari!
