Pretty sure he was asking Lexi about some games earlier, like who did challenges for them in s5 that they could ask for intel about this challenge

Each of the calls seems to have started to relax and get away from the awkwardness which is very nice. I can't wait for the confessionals to come in and see people's thoughts on their tribemates, this is looking like it'll be a great season already!

I watched Alex's little pre game confessional he posted tonight, and was happy he brought up falling for someone in a past org because its my biggest criticism of him as a player.

He and I have the most history of anyone in the cast because we played two seasons of an org together (In like 2009 and like 2013 ITS BEEN A MINUTE). Both times I played with Alex A. We didn't really get along, and B. He declared like/love for another cast member and basically threw his game away for them.

My second org experience with Alex was significantly better than my first and we had a really really good heartfelt conversation the day he was voted out. He even voted for me to win that game so I guess we came full circle. I'm not sure of the type of player he is now, but I hope for his sake he can separate personal relationships from strategy because he has all the qualities to win, and I'd love to see him be successful in Endure.

Atropos: Ceejae has had a busy night so hasn't been able to get on call, but otherwise this tribe has been so good. Like convo flows naturally, it's never really awkward. Naomi is KILLING it. Like she's prob my favorite on that tribe now. Chris is still adorable. Anders is more chill than last season. Jenn was a little quiet when I was on that call. Alex was also active when he's been able to be on call. They're vibing well and I wonder what will happen if they lose.

Clotho: Amberly hasn't got on call, but she's been pming people and home for awhile. Nervous about it, I get it because my first skype org it was fucking weird to get on calls and talk to strangers, but like she knew this going into it. So I hope she gets on call soon. Otherwise they've had pretty consistent conversation, mainly dominated by Aaron and Danny. They unknowingly figured out who two of the other players are on other tribes. They also have taken time to discuss past seasons and the challenge.

LA-Cheesus: They were the first to have everyone on call! They had kind of a slow awkward start. Initially it was the girls on first and they had a good vibe just a lot of forced topics and awkward silences. Matthew helped break that up. Jake and Bryce got on about 30 minutes ago and convo was flowing really well, more funny convo. Abby is high so she is a little OTT but not in a way that seems to be rubbing peolple the wrong way. Kait does so much better in smaller groups so she's pretty quiet now.

I watched his pre-game confessional too, I don't understand why he keeps saying he's not a very likeable person?? He's one of my favs! I definitely agree with you though, he's going to need to separate the game from the relationships he makes if he wants to have a chance at the win.

If I had to pick one person I was most wrong about during casting after one night of watching everyone, it'd be Devon. He's doing really well for himself. He's coming off charming as hell and just an all around cool dude. And he's been online the whole time.

Kait is a bit of a fish out of water on this tribe - she seems to have almost nothing in common with most of the people on her tribe. I am seriously worried for her chances at the moment!

I think our first duo of the season has formed in Alex Rico/ Naomi. They have a lot of humour chemistry and I really think they are going to get along for a long time.

Day one thots:



Atropos:
What a shining star Naomi is! <3 I loooooove her on this season. She's great at keeping the conversation going too. Like even if someone has a small comment, she can take that and make a funny quip of it and keep things moving. I'm such a dummy for doubting her.

Chris & Anders were equally charming. This is the tribe I would want to be on if I were in the game. I haven't heard anyone's individual thoughts yet, but I really think Naomi, Chris & Anders bonded well and could see them as a trio.

Alex & Jenn were on the call for varying times, but were never really controlling the conversation imo. Ceejae too was completely absent. If they had to vote tomorrow, obviously Ceejae would be the likely boot because of that, but we'll see if she can be more active tomorrow.

I'm very proud of Anders because I don't think he'll be in danger and I'm rooting for him hardcore.

Clotho:
This is definitely the tribe I know the least about but whew it's dominated by pre-game connections. Aaron knows Danny, Lexi, Jessaca prior to this game; Jessaca & Devon go to the same university; Devon knows Aaron's ex; it'll be interesting to see if these come into play. Meanwhile Amberly was just too nervous to get on a Skype call? Ugh. I had high hopes for her but that's like... come on lol. You knew what you were signing up for. She's going to be out so quickly if they go to Tribal Council. I'm really hoping she doesn't quit.

Lachesis:
Boy this got off to a slow start with Sarena & Abby desperately trying to lift the conversation off the ground. It broke down into all the girls for the first half of the call, then a really nice hour or so of them together where I felt that everyone was bonding, and then all the guys with Kait at the end.

Kait is interesting in this tribe, because I felt she was doing well when it was just her, Abby & Sarena; but was basically absent when the whole group was on calls and didn't contribute much, and the same goes for when the guys were broing down.

I could see the guys trying to work together on this tribe (or at least Jack & Bryce, idk about Matthew), and Kait trying to stop that... but Sarena & Abby not really caring and preferring the guys to her. So I struggle to see where she'll fit in.

Abby was definitely the life of this tribe and ugh she's sooooo fun and I love her. Worried that she definitely could get Sarena'd out just for being such a big presence. I could actually see her going pre-merge now.

Sarena was the only person to not reveal that she's played before though which, eeeek. I don't think that was a great move. Like you were only 15th so I don't think people will care! But someone will pick up on it eventually, so you'll just look shady for not putting it out there sooner. We'll see if it bites her in the ass though.

I really really am liking Chris and his sense of humour and his way of doing things, man.

I was WRONG about Devon, I adore him all of a sudden. What a fun, messy overplayer he's going to be re: his last confessional.

I love that he's considering taking a shot at Aaron and I am clutching my pearls that Amberly comes back and gives him an excuse to do so. I'm going to be crushed if he lays the seads for this only for Danny or Jessaca to rat him out because they know Aaron from beforehand.

I don't see it panning out, I think either he'll settle for an Amberly boot -- or he'll try this, fail, and be voted out instead. But I love the tenacity from him.

So I popped in an out on the tribe calls.

I really loved Naomi, I think she’s my favorite. Chris, Anders and Jenn all came off well. Devon was charming but he reminds me of the guy who outs Simon on ‘Love Simon’ and his confessional gave me huge Ruben flashbacks but on call he comes off well, which is where it counts I guess.

Sarena is at Feji level popularity, so I have high hopes. Overall I’m really liking the whole cast. I just didn’t get to see Sarenas tribe on call at all, so I don’t have much to go on there.

I hope Amberly shows up more but I understand if she doesn’t. Lexi (Finley) has talked about her a lot and ORGs weren’t something she was ever ‘seeking out’ so, it seems like the reality of the situation has hit and she’s realized how weird it is to sit and meet new people in ORGs. Regardless she’s already doing better than that witch girl from last season.

naomi is such a queen i like her self deprecating sense of humor, but she has these totally dry humor little quips like standing on stepstools so she can stand above the rest, def rooting for her so far and the purple tribe in general

There were individual calls from Clotho after the tribe call ended. I think it involved some combination of Jess, Aaron and Devon. Jess said in her production chat that her and Devon are like the same person and that her and Aaron are cool. She didn't mention Danny anywhere so I'm curious to see her thoughts on him. Devon may have worked himself into a pretty good spot after night 1 and I'm very happy about that
