Svinoy Tribe

This, may be the most important place in the game. It's where you will vote and more importantly, talk to us! Feel free to divulge your darkest secrets, current strategies, alliances, and hell... just pure hatred for other players. You are the only player that can view this forum. Outside of Alumni and Hosts, it is completely private. We love getting the dirt and there are plenty of us here to ask you questions. As you can see, this thread is labelled "Episode 00". Each round (meaning challenge + council) we will start a new thread with the title of each episode. After every Tribal Council, a host will start a new thread asking you more questions. Again, this is your forum and you can feel free to start whatever topics or make whatever posts you like. We will be here to help you out, make you think, get you to talk and really just lend an ear.

We take confessionals seriously because we're genuinely interested in your story. We want to know everything you're thinking and more importantly, what you're feeling. Think of it as free therapy. But more importantly, we will be guiding you along the way and asking you questions. Provoking thought and helping you think about things you otherwise might not have. We find, just talking through your situation can help you get a fresh perspective on things.

Beyond that, it's just fun. What's more fun is having a record of what you were thinking at different stages of the game, and being able to look back on that is priceless so take advantage of it!

Here is a practice mini-challenge for you to work on. It is a challenge that might appear once or twice throughout the season in a different form. Image posting is something that will pop up in multiple challenges and is a skill that you should perfect. Please refer to the guide in the Camp forum for detailed instruction on how to post images.

This particular challenge is a 4x4 16-piece puzzle. You must correctly unscramble the puzzle using the ORIGINAL image links. Meaning, you can't simply rearrange them in a photo editing program. You must use the original images by using the IMG tag. (more information on this in the camp how-to threads.

Good luck, please ask us for any help or further instructions :)

I thought being me makes perfect, but practice will do, too.

Hello there. My name is Cecilia Mansilla. I'm 31 years old and I currently reside in Minneapolis, MN. I work as a phone technician. I know what you're thinking... not the stereotypical femenine job, but honestly not that I care what you think hahaha, that's what I do. I never finished collegue, guess it wasn't for me. I'm also single and in my 30s. You can imagine my very conservative latinoamerican parents are not very happy with my life. I was always dragged by what others think I should do but the way my life has turned out taught me I shouldn't give a damn. I'm me and I'm happy.

The fact that I'm part of Stranded is pretty surreal. I always dreamed about being on an online Survivor but never found one until now. The reason I'm here is my love for the show and my desire to prove myself. Make myself and everyone I know realize that I'm cappable of doing anything I want and anything I put effort on. This is completely personal.

I'm kind of terrified. My worst nightmare would be being an early boot. But I'll make sure I make strong bonds out there and will put myself in a strong position socially. And I have to be patient! I feel I can win this but an empty feeling of confidence makes nothing, actions do. Let's forget being scared, let's do this.

I'll loosen up. I'll draw rocks, vote out my mom, flip on every alliance and living thing there is, vote out Jeff Probst, win every immunity challenge and lose Final Tribal Council to Natalie White, etc. If I don't get voted out on day 3, of course. :(

Seems like my tribe consists of 10 people. Didn't expect so many. Big number. It won't be pretty for the unpopular people that end up in the wrong side of the numbers. Also, final 3 feels like a long way to go. But hey, more throats to cut hahaha

There's a couple of guys, Adam and JP, they're eye candy lol. I'd be extra aware if I were the alpha male of the group. And there's something charming about that Penner dude. Gosh my mom would be so happy if I find my husband on national tv. But meh, I guess there's a reason The Bachelor casting producers didn't call me back. :(

I wish you guys did pre season interviews. Mayne I'm too excited?

If I could aling with someone based on their looks I would definetely go by Rebecca and Stephanie. It just seems like I could puppetmaster them. They're SO going to be targeted early. I could take advantage of that. I feel I'll conect just fine with them and we'll be under the radar in the beginning.

I would target Candice right away, she seems like trouble. JP, Ozzy and Adam would follow, cause the pretty guys shouldn't make the merge.

I could see Flicka, Penner and Nate joining my Alliance.

Hahaha it seems like I have a hard time deciding if Rebecca and Stephanie will be targeted early or will fly under the radar. It could go either way depending if people look at Adam, JP and Ozzy as assets or as threats. Right now I'm excited to make these people's lives HELL without them even knowing. All with love.
