Apparently me announcing the Taytay tribe was boring as heck 72 times over and over to each of them isn't enough to get these guys to ask if I'm interested in flipping.
Do I need to literally write "I WILL FLIP" in big red letters on my forehead?

I mean I understand why, they have to be cautious and all, but it's still kind of annoying. I've already talked more with people in this single day on NuTaytay than I did in the last week on old Taytay, which is nice. But this still kind of sucks. I mean, if we go to tribal I'll probably flip. I dunno. I probably screw all my chances at winning that way, but at least something finally happens?
Eh, I really don't know. I don't really care about Gina or Allie and voting Allie out after her whole trying-to-cheat fiasco would be pretty funny. I'd feel bad for Jefra though since she's actually nice enough, even though she's borderline inactive now.
I think I'd rather just not go to tribal, let the other team go and then if Erica flips, I flip, or vice-versa. Eh...I dunno. Maybe I'll do the opposite of what she does just to keep the numbers...even-ish? Bleh. I'm a bit worried another girl could flip if they want, particularly Gina since she's apparently a pregamer, and if she has a pregame relationship with one of the dudes over here she could flip before me and screw me, which would, well, suck, honestly.
The guys seem nice, and far more interesting than anything that happened on Taytay, and apparently there was massive drama with Penner/Jon which was pretty interesting. I'm sure everyone already knows what went down there, so there's not too much point in discussing it.
They do seem more fractured than I thought, though, tbh, so that's interesting. Honestly though, if I go with the girls, if I can trust Nadiyerica, I think things can happen that could lead to me winning? I dunno, tbh. I really want them to go to tribal first just so I can plan out my move, but these people really aren't doing anything with the IC. Obviously, there's still time, but I'm not a genius when it comes to photoshop so I don't see myself doing a great photo, so hopefully Gina or Zach, who both claim to have skills in that department, pull something off.
If they don't...ugh. I really don't know what I'll do. I mean, I want to win, but the game will be SO BORING if I side with the girls, and while pissing the girls off would be funny, I'd feel slightly bad for Jefra and Nadiya in that scenario. The others? Nooot so much. Voting out Allie, though, as I said earlier, would be hysterical. I really dunno what to do. Jefra wants me and Spencer to get together with like her/Jon I guess later on, but I don't know how likely that is to work out for me. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I wish Jefra was replaced with literally any other female on this tribe so I could flip and not really give a f. I know Erica hates her, but I don't really. I'm just really bored and want to see something happen, ffs.

I can't tell if Jefra likes me or not. Sure she picked me first but like some of the things she says are so avoidant and angry sounding that I'm just like...ehh. Sigh. I just want something interesting to happen but these guys are all so cautious about it. I GET it, but it's annoying because I know that I'll probably flip if they ask.

Is Gina ever even going to show up for this challenge? She said she had ideas she wanted to share but it won't matter if she doesn't show up until after the deadline. Jesus girl come on.

Gina just said she'd have my back and we both discussed how no one ever talked on Taytay. ...Maybe I should stick with the girls. I keep getting offered deals. Jesus. I mean, she asked ME if we were sticking together, and Jefra seems to be up for it too, so as long as Allie is for it, which I assume she will be...then I guess the girls can stick together. It's kind of boring, but...sigh, I really don't know what to do. I guess I might stick with them at least for now. I dunno.

Okay - time for another long one. At this point, I think it's probably best for me to stick with the girls. I'm getting deals up the wazoo, I have an alliance with Nadiya/Erica, one with Gina, one with Jefra(I guess? She never really talks to me, but judging by the fact she picked me first in the schoolyard pick, I guess I'm her favorite? It's honestly a little hard to believe, considering she never really talks to me, but she never really logs on that often in general, so, whatever I guess?) and one with Natalie. That's probably WAY too many, but at least I have deals there that could propel me to the end of the game.
With the guys, well, there's little to no point flipping to them now since Jon quit. It's 8 girls and 5 guys, and I see the guys getting their asses beat at this point. All the girls over here on NuTayTay seem to be for sticking together, and I am, now, because now people are actually, well, talking. Okay, not all THAT much, but it's a hella lot more than was ever going on at old Taytay. Maybe we just needed a swap to liven things up.
Gina also complained about the tribe being quiet and we kinda bonded over that and made a deal - yeah, I have way too many that I'm going to have to all break at one point, I know, but you don't say NO when someone comes up and says "Hey Ashley, wanna work with me?" You just say..."well, yeah, of course." Honestly, I think the silence that plagued the Taytay tribe was an all-around deal. I think we just SUCKED at communicating. The guys on the NuTaytay tribe are all pretty talkative, but unfortunately, I think it's almost certainly in my best interests to stick with the girls, however boring that may be.
If I were to flip then I'd basically lose any chance of winning in the end because flipping doesn't net you jury votes. Like, ever. I was just really bored, and at least now things have finally gotten a little interesting, you know? Erica can't flip on the other tribe now that it's 4 girls and 2 guys so I may as well stick with the girls as well. And it seems like literally everyone hates her. She might not be bad to take to the end? I mean, the girls like her, but Coach and Carter have voiced distaste a billion times over, so that's pretty cool. I honestly don't have any F2s at this point, I have kind of an unspoken one with Nadiya...maybe? I don't really know.
However, I think Nadiya and Erica are a lot closer than I thought. I think they were both the ones to vote for Natalie at the first TC, since Kathy told me that Nadiya was planning on sending a vote Natalie's way, but she never told me that. Now, that definitely makes me think she doesn't trust me that much since she told KATHY, the person with the broken AIM, this, over me. Yeah, I don't plan on going places with Nadiya considering she doesn't seem to be planning on going places with me.
I think both of them were the ones to vote Natalie, and while maybe Erica might slightly prefer me to Nadiya, I'm not going to take the risk of going to F3 or wherever with them because I don't think either would take me to the end. I might just work with Jefra, because...well, I guess I'm her #1 ally, obviously, judging by the schoolyard pick, as unlikely as I previously thought that to be, so she'll probably take me to the end. I mean, I'm not entirely sure how easy she'd be to beat at the end...it seems like people like her, so I dunno.
I feel like I haven't been performing very well socially in this game and that's because I'm simply not very invested, simply because of the Taytay tribe being a massive FAILURE, so there goes the biggest asset of mine down the drain. Blech. I'm well aware I'm playing terribly, I just feel like I got dealt a boring hand and then just couldn't do anything with it. I'm just going to have to work on improving social relationships for the time being, because that's typically the most important part, y'know?
I actually had a long conversation with Allie for the first time - previously it was...a really short convo, but she's actually cool now that I've gotten to know her. I feel kind of bad that I had this total mindset on getting her out because of the cheating thing, but yeah, she's actually alright. I think we got along okay, but yeah, she, just like almost every other female in the game, do not log on that often so I haven't been able to really talk to her again, alol.
I actually do like Coach of the guys, he's pretty awesome, and Spencer's alright, we haven't talked much. Carter...Carter's weird. Like, he just has this vibe when you talk to him that makes me kind of want to smack him. He just sounds really, I guess noncommittal and angsty. I don't really know how to explain it, but talking to him kinda annoys me. If we have to go to tribal, I want him gone tbh. The girls have all discussed that we're sticking together, so that's a thing. The only one I have doubts about is Allie, and sliiightly Gina if she has a pregame relationship with one of the dudes, but hopefully things work out. I'd rather not go to tribal and just see Richard and Rudy wiped out over the next two tribals, because I really don't like taking the risk of going to tribal in the first place, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I assume we're probably merging at 10 and having a final 2 with a jury of 7 due to all the quits, but it's possibly a final 3 with a jury of 7. I'm interested to see how it unfolds, but yeah, I just wanna keep winning immunity over here because while I think the girls will stick together, I don't really want to take that risk? I honestly need to talk to these people more and work on my social game, but no one's ever really on so it's just...blech. It's hard.
I really want to get invested in this game, but I don't see it happening until the merge, sadly. I want interesting things to happen, and thankfully I think once the merge hits things will start happening. I highly doubt most of these girls will want to wipe out all the guys one by one, even though it highly likely will be the smartest move - but we'll see. I'm not quite sure what I want to do at the merge yet, I want to see who's there and come up with plans then. I need a final two, like really bad. And I need someone I can beat. And I'm not sure who that is yet.

Done? DONE? Please tell me they're just trying to psyche us out. We figured out three things and we're stumped, because only me and Gina showed up...thanks a lot tribe, especially you Jefra. -_- Like, if you're not gonna show up, why exactly did you keep on being the alpha? I know it's just because she wants more immunity idols, but seriously, geez. If we lose because of that I'll be hella pissed.
Fuck it, fuck all these people. I'm just going to tell Gina if we have to go to TC that I'm doing whatever she wants to do. This tribe sucks too. I wanna work with her because she's the only other person worth anything at this point lmao. :/ And hopefully if she has a pregame relationship with the guys that way they'd vote Allie out over me? I dunno. I'll also talk to Allie a whole bunch(if she ever logs on...) to make sure that they'd target Gina over me if she flips. I'd rather stick with the girls but right now it's self-preservation mode. Anyone-But-Ashley time.

Well...that sucked. Sadly, I think my best route is to stick with the girls because flipping on my own would literally piss over half the people in the game off and I have no idea when we'll merge. I think I have somewhat of a shot at winning if I stay with the girls, and if I go with the guys...not so much? Lmao.
I'm hoping nothing weird is going on and that I'm not being targeted for inexplicable reasons, but I feel that if I was, the boys would tell me to get me to flip over to them. Also, I think I probably am Jefra's #1 even though she...well, never really talks to me. It's super weird, honestly. We had like one gigantic conversation on the very first day and haven't really talked since then, but I'm still her #1. I really don't get it, but I guess that's a thing? This game is so mute, I just don't understand.
Also, I don't think Gina would vote me out. Allie...is possible. She's never really there. Like who is she, what is she doing on this planet? Ugh. She's the only one that worries me. Hopefully she doesn't pull anything, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if she did. Like she's online right now and I sent her a message about the vote plan sooo we'll see what happens. I dunno. I wish she'd been on more in the past so I wasn't worried about her possibly flipping, lol, but oh well.
I asked Jefra what the plan was, and apparently it's to vote out Coach, and I guess I'm fine with that. I don't want to piss anybody off and inadvertently screw myself over or make it seem like I'm playing too hard for myself, sooo yeah. Basically, I'm just worried about Allie flipping at this point. HOPEFULLY she doesn't, but if she does I'll just go "meh, figures." at it.
I wonder who the next alpha will be. It should proooobably be Gina. I mean, I guess I could do it, but I dunno. I feel like I'd suck at it. Gina's basically been a beast lately, she won the last challenge all on her own, basically, for us, and then this challenge it was basically only me, her and Carter who did anything, lmao. Me and her are also probably the two most active people compared to the rest of this...dead-fest, so yeah. I think she'd probably be a logical choice?

...Okay, now after that last conf I'm actually getting kind of worried. Talking to Jefra is just...nigh impossible. She barely says anything and the conversations end basically as quickly as she'll allow it. Sure, she's been like this for ages, but still - it's really creeping me out. I wish this wasn't my best option. The girls mostly suck.

Oh look, what a surprise, Coach is actually sending me messages while the girls ignore me...
Fuck it, I really want to flip just because fuck this tribe.
WHY CAN'T I MAKE UP MY MIND

I'm just going to ask Gina what to do. Because seriously. Allie and Jefra are just...I've met refrigerators more social than them. Gina's the only girl I like on this tribe at this point. I used to like Jefra but SHE NEVER TALKS. I'd probably like Allie but SHE NEVER TALKS. I need my lord and savior Gina Crews to log on.

Well, the fact that I'm asking Coach who he wants to vote for and will probably ask the other guys as well is likely going to piss them off if I vote one of them off. Yeah either way someone's going to be pissed at me after this. I just don't want my name to be brought up and booted, hahaha.

AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA I am the swing vote, bow before me.
If I'm honest, I kind of want to go with the guys. Allie is...a constantly-trying-to-cheat-beotch and she doesn't really DO anything to begin with, and Jefra barely talks to me. I mean, I like Gina. But Allie and Jefra, trying to form an alliance with them is like trying to convince a vegetarian to compete in a steak eating contest. Like, you can TRY. But they're just not very responsive when you bring the idea up.
Like really, sure, I guess logically I'm Jefra's #1 ally, but it's just...boring. I mean she just asked me "whats up," that's more progress than I've had trying to communicate with her over the last ten days. I'm just...perturbed, because they want me to vote out Coach. I like Coach; he's cool. If they asked me to vote out Carter or Spencer? Yeah, I'd go for that. Carter's kind of a condescending prickwad who clearly thinks he's the second coming of Christ, and Spencer...well, he's there. He's Spencer. That's about all I know about him. But I like Coach...and I don't particularly care for Jefra or Allie at this point. I want to talk with Gina and see what she wants to do, but I'm tempted to flip just because, lmao.
Well, I want to flip, but then I'd be making Carter feel good about himself, and Carter...Carter kinda sucks. He must have been told he was special too many times as a kid because he certainly seems to like acting like he's Einstein 2.0. It's rather annoying. He's, basically, the biggest regret I'd have about flipping. I suppose I have a slight shot of winning if I stick with the girls, but really I feel like everyone probably has a bunch of #1 allies that, well...I'm not. So I kind of just want to ruin everybody's days, as horrible as that may sound.
Coach approached me and wants me to vote with him, Carter and Spencer, which is all but asking "hey wanna flip." to vote for Useless Allie, and he basically said he'd wanna vote for Jefra if she wasn't immune, and I would too, to be honest. If you're not gonna be there, why volunteer? I think I've already discussed this, but that just pisses me off.
I'm quite well aware if I flip to the guys, that'd be really stupid and probably ruin my chances of winning, but if I go with the girls to the end...that's like, really boring, with the exception of like...Gina and maybe Nadiya and Erica. I can't imagine having much fun going with them to the end. At least the guys talk to me, even if it's condescending and annoying like Carter, at least they...well, bother? Something none of the girls besides Gina and Erica ever really made an effort to do. I guess Nadiya did it a couple times, but Nadiya was never active to begin with.
Yeah, I might flip to be honest, just because I want to have fun and see something interesting happen, but then I'd be throwing my chances of a win away, but to be real, are those chances really that high to begin with? ...Probably not.
