Entering Season 26 - Confessional 1
1) How's it feel to be in the FINAL season, as one of 18 former finalists?
Holy crap...I can't believe I'm in this season. I do feel like the Winners have a huge advantage, knowing about how to win and what to do, but I feel like us RUs have a chance, because we know to change our gameplay, which they might not do. Hmm...
2) What's your strategy coming into this game?
My strategy is to play a somewhat more unprotected game in that I should get rid of my threats sooner, rather than in the last two tribal councils, like an idiot. I think I'm going to try to do this whole "align with everybody" strategy, but I don't know. I kind of just want to do what I did last time in taking control of an alliance and then get rid of everybody else in unanimous votes, or close to it. I do know that if I decide to do that, I need to keep everybody feeling secure in the alliance and make them all think that they have a final 2 deal with me, without saying it.
3) Thoughts on the cast/tribes?
Well, I don't want Jeff here too long, because he's going to strike for me and me only first. Addrian is fine, but I think he'll betray me to save his own ass later on. I've never said "final 2" to him, so maybe he can go out at final 5 (btw, I'm typing this as the DS - Double Season - Alliance is talking, so my ideas might change as I go). Other than that, I know none of these people and no offense, but I didn't watch seasons from the past, so I don't know how they'll play, :/.
4) Potential allies? Potential targets/enemies?
Potential Allies may be Addrian and the other two in the DS alliance. I'm not sure about the others, but I'll probably just go to random.org to find other allies, because I have no idea what to do at this point, :/.
5) Why do you think you can either win again (if a former winner) or finally win (if a former runner-up)?
Well, I played excellently last time, so I'm going to hope to shape my game to be like that one, but like I said, I want threats or leaders out sooner (maybe final 6-8?) instead of later (4-5)
6) How hard do you expect this season to be, and with no twists involved, even no idols, how's that shape this season?
Umm...well, I think the pre-merge game will be more in effect, because there won't be so many temporary alliances that are made and broken so quickly. Also, idols can't be a part of the equation, making the numbers painstakingly obvious and I don't know...maybe I can actually cause the chaos I wanted to last time, ;) (probably not, but you never know) .
All in all, I talk a big game, but none of it can happen if I don't survive, which is the name of the show, so that will be my absolute top priority. Like the two time winner, Sandra said: "As long as it's not me..."
