Baylor Confessional Thread

~EPISODE 1~

So.. we started out this game with some really weird ass twist. Everything seemed kind of normal for a bit. The cast is announced, everyone is hanging out and getting to know each other. You know, the typical way you'd expect a Survivor Warriors game to start. Everyone was kissing ass, everyone was socializing as hard as humanly possible. That was actually my least favorite part of this game so far. The socializing aspect of this game is so NOT my element. I just found it completely grating to have to listen to so many people fake their nice-ities and be all "OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE GAME! AREN'T YOU TOO?!?!?". Like obviously I'm excited for the game, but shut the fuck up. I really don't need to listen to you fake ass bitches pretending to be cheerful little twerps for the sake of your social game. I'd much prefer someone sour and real over someone fake and happy ANY day. So yeah, socializing was definitely not a success for me in the early stages of this game. 

However, I did connect with a couple of people, such as Jason, Eliza, and maybe Greg I guess? Like Jason and I are really cool with each other, and so far he's the only person that I talk to consistently and actually enjoy talking to. Eliza and Greg are the only other people that really make an effort with me. Eliza seems to try REALLY HARD sometimes, but it never seems to be out of malice or pure GAME GAME GAME... More than anything she just seems like a girl who loves to talk to people who's a bit too much occasionally. As for Greg, he totally gives me a stoner vibe (maybe that's just his rep?), but he's totally chill. He's someone I would definitely consider working with. All in all though, the opening portion of this game was pretty shitty for me. I haven't built very many strong alliances, and it's not like those that I do have will definitely be on my tribe. I'm definitely going to be an early boot if this shit keeps up. And I will NOT let that happen.

SHOUT OUT TO RJ <3 I know you be sitting alone with your cat getting drunk, but I love you boo <3 BUT I MUST ASK WHAT THE EFFING FUCK IS THAT PINK THING ON YOUR HEAD

[Baylor Wilson]

So finally.... we get to our crazy-ass twist. Jeremy comes up to us and announces a challenge. Obviously we were all completely excited because it was time to split up into tribes! Now we could finally get rolling and see our teams that we'd get to work with for at least a couple of rounds of the game! But instead.... he announces that we're kicking this off with 1) a vote for someone to gain power and 2) an individual challenge. Like WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BULLSHIT?!?!? I am ~NOT~ here to be doing individual challenges so soon. I was expecting to be on a strong tribe so that they could carry my dead weight for a while. The fact that we started out with a posting challenge, I knew I was shit out of luck. I'm pretty sure I could have flopped around like a dead fish for 24 hours and gotten the same results in the challenge. Also, I voted for Jason in the vote thing because eh why not. Nobody else I would really want to have POWER anyways.

So we came down to the end, and obviously I wasn't even close to winning. But you know who did win, JONNY FUCKING FAIRPLAY! That slimy fucking asshole. I already hate him so much and we've been in this game for a week. It's like... WHY IS HE TRYING SO HARD. He's messaging everyone with a fervor I haven't seen since computer programmers during Y2K. It's just a bit much and I want him to CAN IT for a long while. Like god I don't even know why that asshat gets on my nerves so bad, HE JUST DOES! But anyways, the other winner, of the public vote, was Jason Siska. That actually made me really excited because Jason is awesome and deserved all of those votes. So once the two winners had been given their respective wins, Jeremy explained to us what the purpose of that shit was. And the answer was..... TRIBE SELECTION BY SCHOOLYARD PICK! Like.. really guys? That's the best twist you could do? I called that one as soon as the challenge started. I expect more TWISTOS TWISTS in the future that pack more of a punch to be honest. But even though the twist didn't pack a punch, the schoolyard pick certainly did. I was chosen FIFTH (?!?!?!?) by Jason and NINTH (?!?!?!?!? WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK) overall. I do NOT deserve to be ranked so low at all. I'm severely disappointed in everyone. Literally I am so done right now. Everyone could drop dead, and I wouldn't even bat an eyelash. *sobbing*

[Baylor Wilson]

But you know what, my low ranking pushed me to GO FOR IT in the challenge. I was so ready to own that challenge because frankly I wanted to prove EVERYONE wrong... And then I went in totally #FlopCity. For starters, I wasn't AWARE that the challenge had started so I missed a few hours due to my own cluelessness. Even though I stayed up pretty late posting, I ultimately went to bed because I spent the entire day Sunday doing shit so I just didn't have time to post until the last 3 hours of the challenge. It sounds like I'm making up excuses, but I DO NOT GET 3G SERVICE IN NFL STADIUMS SO I DESERVE A REPRIEVE ON THIS ONE. So the challenge had me totally defeatist about myself.. Until someone pointed Neleh's existence out to me. The bitch didn't post ONCE in the entire challenge. I worked my ass off to get the minimal posts that I could get for the challenge, and this slut whore skank puts in no effort whatsoever? FORGET YOU BITCH!

I suppose I should be thanking Neleh though really. The fact that she fucked up so badly means that I get an extra chance to stay around and prove my worth. I know I can prove something to everyone in this game, I just need the time to blossom like the flower that I am. So yeah, Tribal Council tonight is totally easy and thank god for it. My bacon has been saved once by sheer coincidence. And all I know is that I am NOT waiting around for another coincidence to save my ass in this game. I'm going to up my social game, I'm going to become a challenge BEAST, and I'm going to prove that BayBay's got it going on even when she's on the island without her mother. I CAN DO THIS I KNOW I CAN!

[Baylor Wilson]

~EPISODE 2~

So last episode, Neleh was sent home in a completely unanimous vote. It got to the point where the bitch even voted for herself because apparently this is Australian Survivor and you're allowed to do that? *shrug* Naturally, the other tribe needed to know why Neleh was voted out, so Rob C was like immediately up my ass like "OOOOH WHY DID NELEH GO? WAS IT UNANIMOUS?" LIKE DUDE FUCKING SLOW YOUR ROLL! I know that you are THIRSTY to know all about the other tribe's dynamics because we're just plain better than you, but like dude why are you so shady about it? Rob C is about as subtle as a hammer to the face, and it's like COME ON MAN! I can see right through his "socializing" techniques to pull information out of me, so I'm only giving him minimal stuff to see where this relationship leads me. If I told him how much I think he's fucking nuts, he wouldn't want to talk to me anymore lol.

But anywho, this episode I am continuing on my journey to become FUJIWARA'S MOST BELOVED PLAYER EVAR! I really have minimal social relationships right now, so I have to foster the ones that I have and try to make some new ones. In the group setting, I've spent a lot of time being hilarious and self-deprecating. I play the "BRAT", but in a humorous way where everyone knows I'm just kind of the bitchy jokester. This seems to be a fun loving cast, so I think this approach to socializing should be fairly effective. As for the more individual relationships, I've recently become very close with Peih-Gee. We are incredibly similar in many ways, and I just really really love that girl. Siska and Eliza I'm not AS close with, but they're my next two closest friends on the tribe and I like them quite a bit. Those 3 are really my go-to people and I'm hoping they'll be my saviors in the game coming down the pipeline.

[Baylor Wilson]

LOL IS A FUCKING ROLLING KIRBY WHAT IS THIS SHIT

Anyways, we came up to the next challenge, and it was actually the weirdest fucking challenge I've ever been assigned. It was essentially a long-form literary competition to see who could write the better story based on the Japanese zodiac. The basic plan for the challenge was that Eliza would write a longer story that kind of frames around a bunch of different parables written by the rest of the people in our tribe. Once I read Eliza's part, I felt pretty confident that we could win. Obviously there's always a little bit of doubt, but I was much more confident than last time... AND WE DID IT!

THANK GOD THAT IT WAS A SLAM DUNK! HOLLA! I had a lot of fun on that challenge, mainly because I put in like minimal effort but still appeared to be helping the tribe. I really love when you can have it both ways. I wrote a story about a dragon that tries to help a sheep, but the sheep is killed and eaten anyways and the dragon has to learn how to kill sheep for the sake of its own survival. Obviously it's tonally different from a normal children's story, but I didn't want to tell a normal story. In my opinion, parables teach us valuable life lessons. And I think one of the most important lessons of all is how to learn to do the hard shit and kill for the sake of your own survival. If the castaways were smart, they would know from that story that I'm untrustworthy because I'm willing to slaughter any sheep that I need to feed myself in the game. But to be honest, I really don't think they're smart enough to get the implications of the message of my story on the game.

But because we had NO tribal council, I was able to just chill and not worry at all for one night. It was nice and chill to get a break from stressing about votes and who's leaving. Like... that shit takes a toll on you after a while. AND IT'S ONLY THE SECOND CYCLE. By the time we get another round or so I'll be a complete basketcase.

[Baylor Wilson]

~EPISODE 3~

So we arrived at the next challenge, and we saw that Stephenie had been voted out of the other tribe. By the way, I still don't even know the other tribe's name? We're the Fujiwara tribe, but they're the... Ganji? Benji? I feel like it's shorter than ours and ends in "ji". But I'm too fucking lazy to look it up. They're beneath me anyways, so I don't really care to be honest. Fujiwara is clearly the superior tribe in pretty much every way. Where was I? OH YEAH, Stephenie was voted out. She was kinda basic and I remember pretty much nothing about her, so good riddance I guess. The decisions of the other tribe don't really ever interest me to be honest.

But anyways... let's get to the important bit. At the challenge, Jeremy gave us some news. Since he's basically become a sadistic jerk at this point, I knew that his presence meant that we'd get an evil twist in the game. And SHOCKINGLY ENOUGH, we totally got a shocking twist in the game. At the next tribal council, BOTH tribes have to vote someone out and we'll be playing for individual immunity. This is basically like one of the worst twists of all times really. It FORCES us to vote someone out even if our tribe would have been better than the other tribe. It's just really fucking frustrating because I feel like right now I'm trying to work my way into the tribe and find a place for myself, and the twists are stopping me from ever gaining traction. If I fucking end up voted out because of this shit, I WILL BE LIVID! BAYLOR AN EPISODE 3 BOOT?!?!? THE INDIGNITY OF IT ALL! Honestly, the twists that are rigged against me just give me more of a boost in this game. I don't fucking care WHO I have to cut, but I am going to fucking survive this vote and that is all I have to say on the matter. I am fired up and ready to play this game now.

[Host Aras]

Yes, all ten twists this season will be to try and take Baylor out. Good luck!

[Austin Carty]

I'm personally a fan of the "give everyone an idol except Baylor" stratagem you have planned.

[Malcolm Freberg]

Don't take it personal, Jeremiah lives for the suffering of others, did you see what he did to us in season 2?

Not to sound like an old man, but back in Seeason 1 we had it waaaaaaay worse. It least you guys got your own questions at TC! LJ sacrificed himself for that.

[Teresa Cooper]

Austin's right. Everyone likes to talk about how I got voted out with an idol, but I couldn't have played it anyway because of Jeremiah's reward bullshit. Meanwhile I had baklava and a useless other power in my possession.

[Lex Van De Blue]

Let me call a Whambulance. Jeremy didn't screw any of you as bad as me. He saddled me with alliance members who wrote me off as paranoid, only to see that I was right and they were wrong...

Oh, wait, I did that to myself.

Never mind. Carry on.

[Baylor Wilson]

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD FUCK OFF

(jk love you all <3)

[Baylor Wilson]

So walking into that tribal council I was like super worried about being voted out because I'm not in an alliance and I didn't feel too stable with all of the DOUBLE TRIBAL nonsense that was thrown at us. It was like OKAY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING, and I suspect most of my tribe felt the same way. All of us had different ideas on who to vote out, and it probably would have been an absolute shitshow. Until Parvati opened her mouth and basically said "I understand if you guys vote me out." GURL WHAT IN THE WORLD WHY?!?!?!? If we weren't planning on voting her out before, she basically invited all of us to cast our votes squarely in her lap. I actually think Amber was going to be leaving if Parv didn't speak up because Amber has basically been the mute of the tribe for the past few days. I know Parvati has a lot of home life stuff going on and I do feel bad about that, but at the same time why would you EVER EVER suggest that it's okay if you get voted off? It basically made the Fujiwara decision super easy and Parvati was voted out unanimously. She was a sweet girl and a fun tribe member but she basically targeted herself and left us with no choice.

However, Greg was voted out at the other tribal. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED THERE?!?!? Greg was one of the few people I talked to on the other tribe and he was really nice to me early on in the game. Maybe it's just a case of him fading away and becoming inactive, but I don't think so. I suspect that the other tribe is playing MUCH more strategically and I am going to get to the bottom of it. If they are playing too hard too fast I will suss it out and figure out what's going on. Their tribe dynamics can't be THAT hard to figure out, right?

[Baylor Wilson]

~EPISODE 4~

SO I WAS FUCKING RIGHT! I should just say that I totally called it! Like earlier this week, right after the double tribal twist was announced, I was like talking to the tribe and I was telling them that I was POSITIVE a tribe swap was coming up right after the double tribal. Losing one person from each tribe would make it the perfect time to swap into two groups of 7 with a mix of Fujiwara and Fungi (?) on each side. AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN THAT IT HAPPENED! I should become a psychic or something! Baylor made be a total brat pretty much all the time, but I absolutely know what I'm talking about in this game. Sometimes a blind nut finds a squirrel every now and again.

But anyways, this week the tribes were swapped. 3 members of my tribe were sent over to the other group and we gained 3 members of the old opposing tribe. I am going to thank my lucky stars that I wasn't swapped over to the Banji tribe. Like, why should I bother learning that tribe's name? It is WAY too much work. Thank god I got to stay on the Fujiwara tribe and keep 4 of my previous tribe members with me.

The makeup of my new tribe is: Baylor the Brat, Jason, Alex, Amber, Rupert, Coach, Nate

WHAT A CIRCLEJERK THIS TRIBE IS! The other tribe has 4 chicks on it, but over here there's only 2 girls and 5 guys. The camp is becoming FILLED with testosterone and male egos and I want nothing to do with any of it. We could really use a feminine touch to lighten up this camp. Anyways, where was I. OH YEAH THE NEW PEOPLE. Rupert is kind of insane and I might be a bit terrified of him no lies. Coach is also a psycho, but he's kind of a fun psycho and I'm starting to like him. He's a valuable contributor to the tribe in challenges too. Nate, I still haven't even talked to. Maybe if the bitch woke up from napping every once in a while he'd get to interact with the other members of the tribe. Whatever, if the loser wants to make himself a target that's his fault.

Besides a shift in tribal dynamic, this swap has really breathed new life into my strategic game. Jason and I are basically running the show on this tribe at this point. We have Amber in our back pocket because she's boring and does what we want, and Alex is totally on board with sticking with the people of the old tribe. I was worried that everything would sort of splinter once the swap hit, but the 4 of us have actually started to bond in ways we hadn't when we were back on the old tribe. I really think the 4 of us can be a tight clique that can at least pull all of us through this swap portion of the game. It's making me feel a lot more powerful than I've felt in the game up to this point. Obviously I need to temper my expectations, but I am really feeling like the QUEEN OF FUJIWARA at this moment. Whoever I want gone next will probably be gone. It's not even my ego speaking, it's just the truth *smirk*
