PRE-GAME
Wow, I'm back.
It's very hard to believe. Looking back, I think I made a lot of mistakes in Season 4 and that I might not deserve this spot. Thank God Gloria, Selena, and Hannah are here because I think they "hide" the fact that I shouldn't be here, maybe.
But anyway, the past is the past. I am SO happy to be here. This experience was amazing in Resurrection, and looking at the competition, I am certain it'll be fun too.
Talking about the other participants, I gotta say that this is a scary bunch. ALL of them are good at the game, ALL of them would be considered a "huge threat" in a regular game. And for that reason, I think I could very early, and I don't like that. But what scares me the most is past relationship. From what I've heard, most people in the GvsE "crew" talk to each other daily. Or at least, they have some strong bonds/connections outside the game. And that's a "tool" I don't have. At all. I mean, I guess I'm kinda close to Ellen and Annie but we're not BFFs, we don't skype, text, snapchat, you name it. So I'm scared I start with a huge disavantage.
This time, I think there are two main flaws I need to work on. First of all, I need to be more social. Last time, it was part of my downfall. I thought that being social with Jessica would mean that I was good with all the Cascade people. So never understimate anybody or take them for granted. That's where you make mistakes. Second of all, I need to be more flexible. This is basic Survivor, but in S4, I was stuck with my one idea that Beau would be my goat. I should have ditched him. This time, even if I'm close with some people, I can't get eliminated because of them. Risks must be more calculated.
Basically, I wanna play a more Thiago-like game (how original, I know). But he's a master at this game so he's the one I want to enable.
In a nutshell, I am feeling nervous, and excited. But mostly nervous.
