So of course Zero III was voted out according to the plan. Of course! Why do I waste so much emotion and energy on worrying about being blindsided? Apparently Zero III not talking to me didn't mean that they were actually voting me! They were just.. not talking to me. For some other reason!
Anyway, that was the easy vote. Any future tribal council in this tribe will be difficult to some degree. My target would almost certainly be Ranger, as despite a promising first round, Ranger has again faded into obscurity within the section of my mind that forms opinions about fellow survivor players. It's a shame, because there are moments of pure gold, of witty inspiration, but then at the same time Ranger is very obviously kind of checked out when it comes to the challenges and sometimes just does not put in much to keep a conversation moving. There is something difficult there between us and I am not sure how to bridge the gap exactly? I honestly wouldn't mind if I did have the chance to vote Ranger off, but there wouldn't be a way of doing it in this tribe without making Bonobo feel kind of powerless and yuck and I would prefer to avoid it.
So, it is a good thing that I accidentally got immunity for my tribe, despite making multiple mistakes and multiple members of my tribe also not doing what they were meant to! Gosh, I was supposed to be a sacrifice!
It has the perhaps unfortunate accidental side effect of making me irrationally higher visibility and seeming like more of a challenge threat than I actually am so even more reason to make a close ally in Dave blah blah blah. And, honestly, he is probably thinking the same about me. Ahh, how true love blossoms.
It is uncanny (and in some ways, unfortunate) that my closest allies in the game are all on my tribe, with Tragedy having joined us from exile, and while I think it bodes well for my safety here, I am really going to need to put in the work when the next phase rolls around. I also really should remember to actually submit idol guesses. Hmm yes, that would help.
In the meantime, it feels like no time has passed at all, with the Elder Scrolls group having started back up again, stronger than ever! I sometimes worry that my connection with the Lindsays will fade, but I also really don't want it to. In the end though, I doubt that I'll be able to get too far with my current group all intact, as sad as it is. There are going to be some difficult decisions to make if I wish to survive, and I dread the day that I need to make them.
In the meantime, I will share sloppy monkey kisses with Bonobo, talk about haberdashery with the Lindsays, revel in being old with Tragedy and Dave, and work out whatever it is that I'll talk about with Ranger, and it'll be nice, it'll be comfy, it'll be almost like I'm not playing Survivor at all.
