Weeks 1 & 2 - Babonneau Tribe

[Amanda Kimmel]

JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''Amanda knows how to play Survivor. She knows how to build an alliance, how long to keep it, when to get rid of it. She's very good at looking at odds, she's very good at assessing if [she's] better off against this person, or with this person. And you need that. Survivor only thrives when you have people who will continue to turn and switch and make moves. Amanda's in great shape, she does well in the challenges, she's beautiful, and she knows how to play.''

I feel very confident with where I am on my tribe right now. We've got a GREAT bunch. Go Babonneau!

I've chatted with Natalie and Chase so far, and both of them seem pretty nice and chill. We all seem pretty dedicated to this game as well. Hopefully some alliance will be formed there soon. I also know Tyson from a previous game, so hopefully we can connect if we swap or merge, of course.

I'd also like to align with Courtney and Todd, my China familia. However, I need to think of the present right now, the future is something I certainly cannot control in this game.

We won Immunity. I knew we would! This is such a great way to start of the game!

I've spoken with Gervase he seems pretty nice. We'll see where that goes. Even though, I really wanna build a four person alliance within my tribe sometime very very soon <3

So our second Immunity Challenge is ongoing, hopefully we can win!

I feel like our tribe has plenty of strong competitiors which include myself, however stronger competitiors can easily become targets, therefore I need to play it a little UTR. Especially seeing as I've made jury or won practically every game I've been in.

I've chatted with Kelly Shinn, she seems nice. Even though I'm feeling a little anti-social and don't have much to say. I probably need to get some ZZzzs. Haha.

Anyways, the two weak links on our tribe are most definitely Mookie and Shambo. Two of the weirdest names makes two inactive/crappy cast members.

[19:49] JJillHott: Amanda, are you watching Glee?!!!!
[19:49] bradfinta: hahah yeah hopefully we can make it to the end like they did
[19:49] amandakimmelx3: Nope, I'm not really into Glee. Haha. One Tree Hill my favorite show ever comes on at the same time, but it's not on this week.
[19:49] JJillHott: Omg, well this episode is soo good!
[19:49] amandakimmelx3: Yep for sure Chasey boy! Except no nicknames for now at least <3
[19:50] JJillHott: Sam goes topless!
[19:50] amandakimmelx3: Bahah. Wow. Thanks for filling me in on what I'm missing out on Natalie. Haha
[19:50] JJillHott:

[Amanda Kimmel]

The shorter version of this conversation is that myself, Natty and Chasey boy are all in an alliance.

On the side we have Purple Kelly and Candace, we'll have the numbers once Mookie is outta here. So we're essentially controlling everything now! And no one will see us coming, hopefully.
