If I make it past this year, then I will have made it to the halfway point of the game. Only half?! I knew coming in that this was going to be a very long game and just reaching the halway point now makes me realize that. There are many more challenges and tribal councils to go, and I must and will survive all of them to make it to the final two.
As the game progresses, I realize more and more how much I want to make it to the final two again, and not just surrender once I get a jury spot. I'm sick of people saying that the winners should go, that they don't deserve to win again and that I just played with dumb people. None of those are true. Everyone who even thinks that a little bit are going to eat their words in a few months.
I might not be able to make the next challenge which worries me, because I have been at every one so far and given it my all, and if I'm not there I might get blamed if we lose. Not to be self centered, but Aaron said it well when he noted that it will be hard for him and Ryan to get all of the ex-Yupikers under control. Everyone is a party animal and at challenges it seems like winning is the last thing on their mind. You need to keep reminding them to do things, and I think it might be hard for Aaron, Ryan, and maybe Chuck to a point to do that. We'll see, but we definately need to win the next challenge.
Annette getting booted off gave me a sigh of relief. Not that I don't like her, I love her to death but that means the Zaza alliance is slowly being taken out of power and that the Xavante tribe is now split and has drama. The more drama the better, because the more they don't get along the easier it will be to win and the longer Jen and Lew are around the more inactive the tribe will get.
My plans over here on Bajau are just to stick with Yupik for a while, Eric and Chuck will go first if we lose some challenges but once Aaron and Ryan are next I don't know if I could boot them because of their challenge ability. Aaron, maybe, but if there are worse people at challenges like Lynne and Matt then one of them might have to go instead. Time will tell.
