Bit of a reset here.

What are your thoughts on the game becoming 20 players? What are your thoughts on playing with the returning veterans?

With mostly all of the inactive players gone, do you foresee the gameplay ramping up? Will the returning players elevate the way the strategy of the game is played?

Who do you think will be the immediate target on the tribe? How will your game evolve with this new stage of the game?

My thoughts on having 20 players is plain and simple. I don't like it. We had a solid thing going and this just upset the whole entire thing.

They veterans all seem crazy. Caryn was hilarious in the arena but I imagine she will make you want to bash your brains out at one point. Ryan is cool and all but I don't know if I can trust him yet. If I have a say, Ryan won't be here much longer.

The game is absolutely about to turn up. We have a bunch of people here with veterans who all want to play and go deep. I have a feeling things are about to get cut throat fast. Things will most definitely be elevated with the returnees here. They all will have tricks up their sleeves no doubt. I gotta pounce on that idol tomorrow as soon as I can.

5 of the original Taino 6 are on our tribe. We own half the tribe and probably will target the veterans right away. Drew and Ryan are immediate targets and I plan on getting them out asap. If We can bring over Gary, Amy, and Brooke then us 8 can take them out. I doubt it will be that easy but it is a good start.

My game is going to become tougher. Right now it has been like camping and voting off the people you don't really know. Soon enough a blindside will happen and it will not be me.

The new twist separated Mari and I and I am very worried for her. I sure hope she has a chance to hang in there and we can reconnect at the merge.

I chatted with Gary, Ryan, and Drew last night. All had something to say about Brian. When he was on refuge and could talk to everyone, I really liked him. He was super easy to talk to and we both can relate since were both gay. I was disappointed we did not end up together with the big twist. However the three I mentioned told me how hard Brian is playing. He has been talking to literally everyone he can and has been making bonds any way he can. I believe it too based off my conversations with him. A guy like that is dangerous as hell. Gary said everyone has said how much they like him and how everyone trusts him. All I gotta say is, if Brian was on Taino I would be orchestrating a blindside against him on Sunday.

My plan so far is to keep the original Taino strong. I want to vomit thinking I may have sounded like Kellyn but that is the best strategy so far. Drew seems cool but Gary I don't trust. He likes to start drama. The guy is smart and can read into things a little too well for my liking. No doubt he will try to break us up but that won't happen. If I can get Gary, Brooke, and Amy to vote for Drew while persuading Ryan and Drew to vote for Gary. That will give the Taino 5 the power to decide who goes home. Right now I am leaning towards Gary but that can change any time.

Drew and Ryan are too easy to talk to. They both are probably downplaying their games so we don't target them. Drew seems like a surfer guy who loves to get hammered but he was brought back for a reason. He isn't Caryn by any means but Drew could be playing dumb to fool us. Right now I still want Gary out of the game but I don't want to be played by these Veterans either.
