-~= Erinn's Apprehensive Round Three Confessional =~-
Well, I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous going into round three.
I haven't really given much background on this, I think, but I'm essentially playing this game as an attempt to break what I believe to be the one and only time I have ever encountered a cursed representative.
I went out for a game in January, Tocantins versus China. I wanted to be Frosti, and I pretty expressly told the host so. I wound up getting Erinn for no readily explainable reason. I made the best of it, and had some fun playing the character, until for no reason at all I got kidnapped by the other team, and they threw a challenge to vote me off. I placed eleventh.
Furious at the unfairness of it all, I decided to avenge myself by trying again, in Survivor Galapagos. The host of that game decided to have every single challenge be posting challenges, with no tribe switches. Predictably, my tribe lost every single Immunity challenge before the merge, and my final two ally betrayed me because I was the strongest person on the team (and arguably the cast) and they wanted a better chance at the merge. I once again placed eleventh.
I tried a third time in Botswana: The Okavango Delta. I was once again the strongest person in the cast, and despite almost all of my team members actually mutinying away out of fear, I still managed to work myself into a great position, with rock solid allies and a strong tribe set to win every IC premerge... only to have the game get cancelled at the final thirteen.
In an attempt to get rid of the Curse of Erinn, I voted off a different person playing as her, sending them to the prejury cursing me out for betraying them.
Now, here I am, having won two challenges and getting narrowly dicked out of a third, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up being a target sooner rather than later. I just hope that people aren't going to get paranoid this early, because if I don't break the final ten this time, I'm legitimately just going to put my head down and cry.
But, I have the "Erinn's Voice Lovers" alliance with Kim, the Gangsta Elephant alliance with Charlie, the Kenny Was Robbed alliance with Miyi, a deal which may or may not actually exist with Alicia, Kelly, and Darrah, pregame friendships that aren't actually alliances with JT, Russell, and Christa, and have talked a little bit of shop with Shawn and Gabe despite not actually feeling like making alliances with them.
So, given that I'm in the good books of just about everybody in the cast, I hopefully will be able to skate on by without getting my butt dominated as a threatmeister.
If not, well, don't blame me. I'm awesome. I'm just also cursed.
(Besides, Jlyric, you read my confessionals last season. You watched me blow the rest of this cast away in the last challenge. Can you honestly tell me that I wouldn't be an epic all star even as a prejury boot? Boston Rob was an all star, and he was a prejury boot! And I'm like fifteen times more awesome than him!)
(Double besides, wouldn't you like to see how Erinn does as an All Star, trying to finally make jury when it reeeeeally counts?)
