Sean is playing so hard and I didn't get to watch him play his first season but from what I heard from him and others this is a complete 180 from his first time around lol!
So Chris and Holli just posted their first confessionals <3 Maryland duo. I recorded Chris' and it was a bit long but he said some very good things. One in particular is about Corey. Chris has heard three different pitched alliances that Corey has proposed from Corey himself, Sean, and Jared. Each iteration is a little different, all include Sean and I think one of the three exclude Chris. Because Corey plays erratic Chris thinks Corey is loyal, but him being excluded out of one of the plans really bugs him and kind of shows where Corey's numbers lie. He doesn't want Corey around for long, but he wants him for the time being.
Tyler and Zac are on his shitlist. Tyler he's annoyed with for blowing the challenge (to be fair, Tyler decided to start the challenge too close to him needing to go to bed after the easy puzzle took 40ish minutes, which was indicative of the time necessary. I think Zac is a team player and would wake up in the wee hours for the challenge.) He also doesn't like Zac because he feels like Zac hasn't integrated himself into the group as well, and some of his comments that he has made in public have rubbed Chris the wrong way. Kind of sounds like Ramsey, although I don't think Zac is going to pick an Ukmar this season and use it to his advantage.
I will say that I'm happy Tagish is safe this round. Zac is playing very hard out of the gate, but I want to see it develop and see where it goes. I think Lisa is a lock with Zac henceforth and nobody has made that connection. Lisa even told Zac:
[2016-07-11 6:49:24 PM] Lisa Miller: So I was talking to Sean earlier and that what are we going to do if we lose cause everyone genuinely seems nice on the tribe....he agreed and said he's heard your name thrown out because you're not on much. I told him we have to remember the huge time difference. He said true and that he really likes you and wants to work with you and he's not sure. Ahhhhh!!! I don't know what to do....I'm fighting for you though.
Such an interesting dynamic on Tagish that I want to see develop some more before they have to make a tough decision.
Sean called Chris to ask him about something that he heard through the grape vine about Chris begging Tyler to vote out Sean.
Chris gets on call and is genuinely surprised (I am not sure this really happened) but Chris told Sean he thinks it's a very far fetched story. Sean thinks it's something a little crazy for Casey to come up with (which to Sean's knowledge is where this is coming from).
Sean and Chris talk about how they are the only two vets on the tribe and address the fact Chris didn't like Sean back on season 4's pressure cooker when Sean was an intruder. They both agree that this is in the past and are now back into talking game and strategy.
Small update on the Zac front which will obviously develop over the next few days:
[2:52:54 AM] Zac Tate: Ah that's interesting
[2:53:06 AM] Zac Tate: Did he say who was throwing my name out?
[2:58:54 AM] Zac Tate: Cause I was on call with him [Sean] for like an hour after the challenge and he didn't mention that :] So that's a little shady. I definitely have your back if you have mine, we just need to gather a few more
[2:59:12 AM] Zac Tate: Ill play with whomever you want to play with
I have no idea how effective this is going to be for Zac. I think he has the greatest uphill battle on this tribe, maybe not as big as Tyler's. Zac needs to snag Tyler ASAP. From there they only need one more. Imagine if sweet innocent little ol' Lisa becomes the cold blooded turncoat that wrecks the returnees.
EDIT: Chris and Sean just said that their first vote will probably be Zac at this point. I retract my earlier statement. Zac needs to sweep Tyler up ASAP. I have no idea who would bring the vote to a stalemate.
[9:23:37 AM] Chris LeCompte: Also me and you are the reason we aren't going to tribal
[9:24:08 AM] Jared S: I know. Like legit. They should like feed us grapes today :D
I think it's so cute that Brian keeps calling Razek "Radik", I really like his conflict about playing with people you like, or people who you already gave your word to. Especially considering how his actual allies are not the people he likes the most. A Zoie/Razek/Brian would be SO glorious, and I would be so down for that. If Vic could join into that alliance it would be perfection. Ideally for me Lexi would go, and that's only cause Casey is immune.
Tagish has really interesting relationships between them. But out of all the tribes, I wouldn't mind if they were the ones going on a winning streak because I truly enjoy every single person there. Chris had a 25 minute confesh, and even though it wasn't boring I couldn't sit through the whole thing cause TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES.
Do you guys think Sean kinda trying to control things from Tagish could REALLY backfire on Razek? I know if I was in the game I would be annoyed that someone on another tribe is making plans for MY tribe.

Chris really likes the interview styled format that he grew accustomed to playing Survivor Maryland. When it's a super interesting round I'll take time to edit the interview into parts or a condensed version, however this round Chris isn't really in danger or isn't central to anything surrounding the game except that he was important to his tribe's success in winning immunity. Other than what I mentioned before, he really believes that he can go all the way this time and with understanding of how this online format works, he's a lot more comfortable this time around.
Sounds like Zac/Lisa are an official thing. Both have disclosed full game information with each other, compared their likes/dislikes on the tribe, and have bonded over both doing leg day today.
Jenna looks to be in for a busy day. Jared wants to talk to her, Chris wants to talk to her, Zac wants to talk to her. Jared and Chris want to lock in Jenna as a 3, Zac also is seemingly looking to lock Jenna in as a 3 to him and Lisa.
