For a start, she suggested today that she do two of the puzzles, and the rest of us pair up on one each. Some crude mathematics would suggest therefore that she thinks she's four times better at puzzle solving than everyone else. I was more than happy for her to do that though. Either she would a) turn out to be some kind of puzzle genius and win us the challenge or b) completely tank it and damage her position amongst the rest of the tribe. Ultimately she only ended up doing one puzzle and still failed to win her round.
I'm not worried about her being a little arrogant, or patronising. I mean, I'm not exactly captain modesty myself but I like to think I can control how I communicate a little better with a degree of self-awareness so I don't come across as an irritant. It's good that I know how she thinks though; I'm going to focus a lot more on asking for her opinion, complimenting her on her ideas and opinions, being a little bit deferential. She seems to be responding well to that already; she messaged me after the challenge today saying "I trust you WAY more now".
Despite all of the above, I'm actually working very closely with her. I've managed to steer her and Candice away from aligning with Flicka (who I just don't trust and I don't know why). There's a core four of Me, Candice, Cecilia and Steph now who are very solid. I suggested today that we each pair up with an outsider and focus on building that relationship so that nobody feels left out, suspicious or resentful because you never know who you will need to rely on in future.
Candice didn't want to align with Rebecca (who she finds boring) and I explained to her that a loyal, boring ally is great because they will be reliable and won't have a strong enough social game to build bonds with other people. I think I overplayed my hand a little there because she said I was "really clever" which I don't want to be a widespread opinion of me.
I'm definitely going to wary of her (sorry, I'm answering your questions totally out of order). Now that I've got the alliance in order, I'm going to stop making suggestions and push Candice/Cecelia into thinking they're the head of the snake. Should we get far into the game, I want the two of them working against each other and trying to pull me in to help them, rather than teaming up and ousting me. That's a much, much later thing to worry about; you don't want to be playing a post-merge game in the pre-merge stage.
Other news in brief:
Nate is going home tomorrow.
I think JP has immunity. I think the only other option is Flicka playing an insane bluffing game or Cecelia straight-up lying to me.
I'm worried my tribe sucks at challenges.
I'm genuinely annoyed over how the individual immunity challenge went down.
Yau-Man's hilariously poor attempt at the challenge being posted long after the competition was over was a real laugh out loud moment for me.
Also, I wanted to post this when Steph submitted her guess but I didn't want her to feel like I was making fun of her:
. You don't have to only update when you are prompted to, whenever you have an idea shoot it at us because we want to know everything.
