Episode #1

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

My tribe is alright. I'm sort of upset about the tribes being separated by the season. I guess things are going to be a little interesting. I just hope seasons don't align and stick together within the tribe. We need to make sure we vote as a tribe for the person who is the weakest and holding us back. I really just pray and hope I'm not the outcast for our tribe. So I've been making avatars for my fellow tribemates.

Right now Jamie is really disappointing me. He asked me earlier if I wanted to work with him in this season but I'm really not seeing him step up to the plate in this challenge and he isn't really doing a good job communicating with me. It's frustrating. I really wish he'd be a little more on his toes and talking with me, otherwise I"m going to say goodbye to that loyalty fast and start making other arrangements.

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

I decided to go ahead and cut loose of my ties with Jamie, he doesn't really have an idea yet that I have. I really like Ace, I found out that Ace was Crystal on the Hawaii season and I really liked Crystal, which means I'm going to like Ace. Ace and I have been talking and we are hitting it off great and luckily we formed an alliance. We are keeping that 'Gaboner' trend in tact. HAHA! We don't know if we really want to bring Dan into the alliance yet or not, we don't care for him. However, I'm glad that Ace and I are on the same page together I wouldn't mind bringing in Lillian to our alliance later on. I'll have to see what Ace thinks.

At this point, I don't think our chances are very high in winning the challenge. Which is sad, because I really don't want to go to Tribal Council first. I don't even know who I'd vote for at this point. Maybe Dan? Since he already won and isn't contributing as much as others? It's a tough call! However, I'm really feeling like I've been proving my worth to this tribe and I've really stepped it up! So I don't think I'll be going anywhere, anytime soon. *knocks on wood* At least I hope not!

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

Its unfortunate that we lost the first challenge because everyone pulled their weight I feel like, so it's going to make the vote that much harder. I guess I'm going to have to ask around and get a feel for where everyones head is at so far in the game. The only person I can really rely on at this point is Ace - I trust him and I think he and I could potentially get the tribe to vote a certain way this tribal. The only people I haven't talked with are Dan and JD, the two who seemed to post the least so far since the game has started. Ultimately I think it'll come down between the two of them. Should be interesting. . .

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

WOW! I totally forgot about Lindsey! Is she even playing this game? Now that I def. saw her name pop up, I'm gunning for her this first Tribal. She hasn't done much, like everyone else. Plus - she's not communicating that well with the rest of the tribe. Great reasons to vote her off now. She's deadweight to our tribe and we need to win in order to survive at the merge with numbers. Bye Bye Lindsey. . . (hopefully!) *keeps fingers crossed*

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

Right now I've contacted Ace, Mama Lil and Deena about the vote. I am gunning hardcore for Lindsey at this point and hopefully the vote will pull through and oust her this Tribal Council. She is the only one that didn't prove her worth this challenge, which is unfortunate. She should've played harder, earlier! Oh well. Sucks to be her. I'm just hoping I can take control of this game, I'm determined to do well.

Oh and one more thing, Lindsey asked me who we should vote for - I about died laughing. Seriously? Now that we lose, she contacts me about, how to vote? Oh hunny, if she only knew. . .

[Paloma Soto-Castillo]

So far it seems like Ace, Jamie and Jed are all on board with voting Lindsey. So far the plan is working out beautifully! I'm just anxiously awaiting response from Deena and Mama Lil'. Hopefully they'll be on board with this vote as well.
