Ashley's Awesome Admisson Area

[Ashley Underwood]

Ugh, what? Carter and Spencer are gonna vote Coach? Blech. Apparently everyone's going for it and everyone hates him or something. That's unfortunate, since I like him, but, well, whatever. Apparently Coach is telling all the guys I'm up to vote Allie, which simply is not what I said. I said I'd think about it. Well, whatever. I should be safe unless these people are going to be pulling an epic acting job, in which case I'd be very impressed.

[Ashley Underwood]

Well, Allie just showed me her vote. Either everything should go according to plan and Coach goes home tonight, or these people are putting a HUGE amount of effort into blindsiding me that they deserve a medal, seriously.

I'm gonna talk to Carter and what's his face, uh, Spencer about the vote tonight. We still have like...over 24 hours, so I'm just waiting a little then I'll tell them. I wanna talk to Gina first, make sure she's all for it, and then yeah, whatever.

[Ashley Underwood]

Now that I think about it...Allie is probably the best person to take to the end. Apparently she never even talked with Coach, I mean, I've been pretty anti-social and bad in that respect this game, but Allie's been even WORSE. And plus with all the cheating stuff she tried pulling, that would put people like Erica off of voting for her in the end.

Well, hmm. I wonder if I could pull that off. Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't want her gone...like, ever.

[Ashley Underwood]

Well, okay, scratch that. I just got offered a final two. Sure, it's with Gina, who I'm not so sure I could beat in the end, but...hey, a final two deal is cool. And she offered it to ME and the conversation flowed into it - I think she's honest about it. THANK YOU JESUS. Finally I have like...an actual allegiance oh my god. She mighttt not be honest about it but for now I'm thanking like, the literal heavens that finally someone offered me a F2 deal. <3

Besides she's probably my favorite person ATM, so...yeah. That's double-cool.

[Ashley Underwood]

Well now, Allie's TC answers are so, so, so bad.

Allie, Ashley, and Gina - The easy path in this game is to stick with the numbers, and right now the women are up. But how does the reaction of the opposing tribe winning affect how you play the game? They were by no means modest in the way they won? Does that alter your plans of wanting to continue working with potential allies you formed on your initial tribe?

It doesn't really affect my game play. My focus is on our tribe and how to beat them at the next challenge. I'm not too sure if it alters my plans on wanting to work with them but I guess we will just have to see.

Everyone - What are you basing your vote on for this round?

I am basing my vote on loyalty and keeping the numbers strong.

Notice the contradiction? Geez.

[Ashley Underwood]

Well, Coach went home, as expected. Yay! I guess I can actually trust these people, so that's cool. I told Carter a couple hours before TC that he was going, even though I knew Carter already knew, just to make myself seem a little out of the loop and like I wasn't leading things. I mean, Jefra obviously is. I find it funny that she criticized Coach for trying to take control of the votes when she...is doing what he was doing. But whatever.

I'm happy Coach went out as a classy angel though <3 He's a cool dude, I wish Carter or Spence left instead, but w/e. I didn't have much of a say, unfortunately. Jefra's basically taking this tribe by the balls and it's kinda annoying.

Oh, and there's like, this idol clue thingy up, which Gina told me to highlight, and ultimately I have no idea what to do with it. I went through and looked through all of Probst's old posts and highlighted them, hoping I'd come across something, but there wasn't anything for me to find, so that's...unfortunate. I hope it doesn't have to do with that hidden board we couldn't even get into - that'd be hella annoying.

Looks like a new clue is gonna be up later tonight though...I don't know if I want an idol or not, but I guess it couldn't hurt to have? I really dunno. I'm barely thinking any strategic moves or anything out in this game, it's just hard to get invested when the entire cast is about as active as a sloth. I'm probably doing countless stupid things, but I really don't care enough at this point, as horrible as that sounds, lmao.

And it looks like I'm going to end up being the new alpha, which actually rather sucks, considering it seems to be...very skill based, but no one else was really volunteering, and I'll probably be there on time, so there's that. The stakes being "higher than ever before" is rather...unnerving, and I hope it's not something like a duel and the loser gets eliminated or some crap, I dunno. I'm paranoid and freaked that this could be a horrible, horrible, horrible thing. Well, guess I'll just hope it isn't - that's really all I can do at this point.

[Ashley Underwood]

Provided I'm doing this right, I now have 7 of these eyes to figure out...

Pass to go my ass, I have no idea who any of these eyes ARE.

Watch me be doing the total wrong challenge, too. I'd cry, seriously.

[Ashley Underwood]

Huh, they SPELL IT OUT...so if I solve one, that really narrows down the words, huh?

...If only I could figure out who even one of these people was. -_-

[Ashley Underwood]

The first one...Ashley Massaro? Okay...so...a 7 letter word starting with A?

[Ashley Underwood]

I just entered in about all the 7 letter A words I could think of and nothing. I seriously can't figure out these eyes.

[Ashley Underwood]

Aborlan, Agutaya and Araceli all failed me too. Went to try Palawan provinces like Coron and Taytay and none of them worked. Ugh fml. I mean I've looked through a LOT of different people and none of it is clicking for me. I wanna die there's no way I'm getting this.

[Ashley Underwood]

wtf just happened with the images

[Ashley Underwood]

Yaay! Well, evidently, I have a thing for people giving me idols in round five. I'm totally not complaining, I'm ecstatic about it! I mean...right now, I have an idol, so that's basically a guaranteed pass into the merge regardless. It's probably dumb, but I really don't like holding onto idols. If I ever got blindsided with one, I'd feel like a major turdbrain.

Like, if I found this thing post-merge, it would probably be a total different story, but if we lose this challenge I might play it juuuust so I...you know, make the merge. Going out pre-merge would be kind of embarrassing, honestly. I'm actually surprised I haven't, with how little thought and effort I've put into this game. Shit should have blown up in my face five times over by now...but nope! Lady luck's on my side, I guess? Strange, it isn't outside of ORGs, but in ORGs things just...naturally seem to go my way. It's super duper weird, but I like it.

So, anyhow! I volunteered to be the alpha. And then, like, Erica was the alpha too. So we got this group chat thingy together, and it was beautiful; magical; extraordinary, all the things you could name! She's like...one of the, what, two or three sane people in this game besides me? I'm not including Richard and Rudy, I've never spoken to either. Rich seems kinda funny I guess, and Rudy...well, he tries. So, we'll see, if I ever meet them.

Anyways, me and Erica were reunited, and it was kinda sorta great? I was right about the password possibly being a province, but I misinterpreted the puzzle, since I was thinking that it had to be in order of the eyes. Geez. Thankfully, she told me the password was one of those A-things I got wrong, and we discovered we had completely different boards - hers was 33, and mine 34, and so I kept trying other provinces of Palawan, and I got this one that started with like...A B. I forgot what it was called, but anyways, it was correct and I got the idol!

I guess Erica has her tribe's, what a star. Anyways, she really helped me out. I was totally stuck on that thing, and even though Jeffrey told me the idol thing wasn't necessarily in order, I probably wasn't gonna mess around with more provinces until, well, around now, when I felt like it and had time. So I think I mighta gotten it anyways, but she really helped expedite that process. I'm super happy she exists.

I mean, honestly, though, does she really like me that much she'd just hand that idol to me? Wowie. I'm personally under the impression that I'm boring as fuck in this game and putting no effort into convos at all, but like...okay? I'll take it, I guess, but I really don't know what I did to make her like me so much. I guess just being sane is enough, when you look at the rest of the old Taytay tribe. But still, y'know? I've just been kinda boring and blech in general this game, so...yeah. I'm actually in literal shock that she really does like me enough to help me out like that.

Either way, I have an idol and that's super cool! I'mma tell Gina about it tomorrow, just because I plan on playing it as soon as possible and lying about it to her would be...well, dumbish? Idk. I guess I could just tell everyone...just see what happens and see who tries voting me for it and who doesn't? I dunno, it would be kinda interesting, at least. "Hey guys, I have the idol!" Then not even tell them I'm gonna be playing it, just to see if they stay loyal. That would be kind of fun, actually...I might just do that.

Mm, we have this immunity challenge, which is totally right up my alley since I have lotsa free time, but, OF COURSE, much to my utter dismay, I've been gimped and we have to fill crates in order and I can't just move on to other ones. La~me. I'd have 100 crates filled by now, but oh well. I guess it might work in our advantage, since Coron has...Kathy. Who may or may not even be a thing anymore, I don't know. I see her on AIM like once in a blue moon, so I guess...maybe she'll show up; maybe she'll be too busy being invisible. I'm sincerely putting my hands together and praying for the latter.

El Nido, sadly, is kinda a strong tribe. The thought of it being three tribes did occur to me, and I did mention that at the picking, but ultimately, I went on strategy: Who do I want to work with the most? The girls, sadly, are my best option. And, besides, Carter just kinda sucks, and Spencer is...well, I've barely talked to him. He's there, I guess. Jefra and Gina I think both like me lots, so definitely, I wanted to keep them. I guess I coulda ditched Allie, but for Spencer or Carter? Hell to the no. Not a chance.

I wasn't really thinking challenge wise, but blech. Allie showed up, even though she's #5 and Jefra's #15...I'm thinking I shoulda swapped them. Allie's usually dead, so I really didn't expect her to pop up! And Jefra, well...Jefra's Jefra. She did okay in that one posting challenge, yeah? So I thought she'd be good at #15 since Gina is uber active like me and I thought she'd be good as my second-in-command #30.

Well, hopefully this works out. We got 48 hours, so that's cool. I'm keeping an eye on the other alpha's post counts, so hopefully I can turn this around for us. I just need Jefra and Allie, to, well, actually show up long enough so we can fill some darn crates. Winning here basically guarantees me a spot in the final 8, so...yeah, I really want to win. <3 I'm praying this tribe doesn't fail me, as I am its Goddess and its sole duty is to please me. Clearly. Right? ...No? Lame.

Also, why did Erica kick Natalie off over Rudy? Geez, I really hope that old fart didn't worm his way into stuff. I mean, I know Erica hates the girls, but she kicked Rich off over one of them, so he must REALLY suck, alol. But for me, with regards to Rudy, girl power is probably the best way to go, and I don't want them keeping the poor guy around just because it's funny to laugh at how close to death he is. He needs to get off this island and to a hospital before he dies, so voting him off is more of a favor than anything.

[Ashley Underwood]

Wow, it looks like we could very well win this challenge! We're about to be on crate 14, and Coron's still on crate 6 and El Losers is on crate 7. Sweet. Sure, there's still over 24 hours left in the challenge, but we have a pretty good lead right now and hopefully we can keep it up. We're kicking some serious ass, and keeping track of the other Alpha's post counts is pretty nice for morale. We're almost doubled El Whatever They're Called and we're past double Coron. Love it. <3

Allie's performing really well, I'm proud of her - wish I put her on the #5 thing over Jefra, who is complaining the whole time. Like, at least she's still doing it, but geez. No one wants to hear you complain about this lol. I mean, I get you're in a different timezone, but still...it hurts morale, and we wanna win. Blech. On the other hand, Allie's proving to be cooler and cooler the more I talk to her, and I actually quite like her now! Geez, what's wrong with me? I hated these people a couple days ago. I need to make up my mind if I like these people or hate them, hahaha.

Well, Jefra "The "Best" Alpha Ever" Bland approached me about what happened if we lost and that we'd have to choose between Allie and Gina, but honestly I'd rather vote Jefra off. She's basically trying to build her own personal army with Spencer and Carter and Allie, and Allie's doing a lot more in this challenge and Allie's not from Mars. Jefra is, and I don't care for any of that. I mean, I guess I'm technically Jefra's #1 probably, but still, it's just...she's hard to control. She's like a kid who had wayyy too much sugar or caffeine and they run around doing whatever the heck they want without paying anyone else any mind. It's not the best kind of ally to have, I'll say that much. I know that Gina is annoyed with her and Allie called her kinda crazy, so she's most certainly losing points in people's eyes.

We'll see, I guess; I'm in kind of an emotional mode right now so I'm probably not thinking all too clearly.

[Ashley Underwood]

Nadiya and Natalie's post counts are going up.

If we lose because Jefra decided to actually full on go to sleep instead of just taking a "nap" I swear I will stab her.
