The Interviews:
( Zeniba ) What did I think of today? Okay I suppose. Our loss wasn't expected, but now that it has come down to it I'm just as determined to win Immunity. I can't say I was to thrilled with my tribe today either, yes I was proud of their work at the challenge, but their attitudes at camp are beginning to wear on me, if I have to put up with this for the next two months, I might go insane, so naturally some changes must be made. Ash must be restrained, so must Jessie. Rika is just on that line and now I have to unfortunately add James to the list. I don't really know what got into that boy today, but he was pushing all the wrong buttons. ( sighs ) Still, I am hopeful for my tribe, so we stumbled a bit with our start? Nothing a good deal of order can't fix, though I can't say that about my sister's tribe ( evil smile ), by the looks of it, their doomed to lose!
( Lin ) What did I think of today? Not surprising, I mean look at the tribe I'm on? How can there be any form of civilized order with Ash, Rika, Jessie, and James on this tribe! This loss was because of them, just as I predicted, and if this keeps up you can be sure that I will be doing anything my power to get them voted off, including just cooling my heels at the next immunity instead of fighting for it, what must be done, must be done. On the other hand we do have some strong players on our team, while pretty silent I think Robin has a lot of potential, he's definitely going to be the one to watch as the game progresses...
( Cody ) What did I think of today? Well it was kinda a bummer. We lost, which I wish didn't happen, but it did, and that's that. I'm certainly not going to let it get me down. I sure am glad Rika and Jessie didn't fight again today though, it was bad yesterday, but it seems she's more interested in yelling at Ash and James now. ( sighs ) I just don't get it...I feel bad for Madison and her camera, I wish I knew who stole it, but with James as the only possible witness, I'm not sure we'll ever find out. Aside from all the fighting I'm glad I have one real friend here, Tommy. Whatever happens I want us to stick together, who know maybe we'll go all the way to the end?
(Kari ) What did I think of today? Pretty embarrassing, that what. Not only did we lose, we lost and Davis and T.K made a fool of me! Sora and Cody got a great kick out of it but I don't find it very funny. We sure do have some fighting problems on our team. Sometimes I think if that tension was just gone we'd be a lot happier around camp, but then again that would mean losing tomorrow's immunity challenge, could I actually not try? I don't know, I'll have to talk about it with Sora... And how about our new tribe member? The princess? She seems, nice, polite, orderly, smart...but is that what we need to win? On top of that can she get down and work up a sweat to win? How much is one-hundred and ten percent to her? Though in all fairness she seemed pretty determined and even that's a big help to us right now...
( Sora ) What did I think of today? I found it to be a bit frustrating, but I'm not counting my tribe out yet. Yeah we had a set back, but to be honest I don't know why everyone's suddenly falling apart? I mean are we going to do this every time we lose? Where's the team spirit? That's what we're missing really ( I mean I know we definitely need some order too ) but more so we need unity. Going into this challenge I realized one thing. We were fighting. We weren't cheering each other on, or getting pumped up, we were just like, 'Let's go see if we win'. We can't have that. It's something I should really bring up with Zeniba. Perhaps our new tribe mate will help though? She seems pretty agreeable ( something else we need ) but who knows? Being a princess, maybe she's really a control freak? I guess only time will tell on that one ( sweat drop ) Oh! And the best part of today?...Davis and T.K. Oh man, I laughed so hard, Cody and I were losing it! It was great, I only wish poor Madison hadn't lost her tape, it would have been priceless to show the guys, sorry Kari ( innocent smile )
( Ken ) What did I think of today? Pretty unfortunate, but what can you do? We lost, now it's time to look ahead to what's coming next, which is the big one, immunity. Today's challenge was just a treat, tomorrow's it what really counts, and I'll be sure to not let us down. That will include not letting people like Ash and James, Jessie and Rika be on teams, let alone let them be the ones we're relying on to win! Who decided that? What were we thinking? Well it's certainly not happening again...Luckily I'm still lying low under the radar, no bugging me, no one picking fights, ( which I assure you should the time ever come, I would win of course ), no one. It's marvelous. Just what I need to sit back and observe. Today marked something else other than our first loss, it marked the real start of them game, and those who noticed this ( which with the people on my team I'm guessing very few ) would be very wise to take it into consideration. This isn't fun and games anymore, the people who chose to start playing now will we be the ones still lasting into the merge and beyond. I will be one of them. On a lighter note, I was nice to see Yolie today, she seemed happy, and from what I saw she played well, I guess it just wasn't enough for her tribe to win.
( Rika ) What did I think of today? Terrific! With the way things are going I'm not going to even need to strategize! Ash, Jessie, and James have successfully made themselves living targets, nobody likes them! Alls I have to do is sit back and watch them lose every challenge we compete in, be it reward or immunity, and then watch them get voted out one by one. By the time their gone I'm sure someone else will have become annoying and we'll just vote them off too. Though I must say I have to be slightly careful, Jessie does seemed to like to drag me into her weirdo problems...but it's nothing I can't dodge ( smiles satisfiedly ) Things seem much better today to be honest, yeah we lost, but like I said, strangely it's working to my favor. Over the next few days I'll continue to stay away, just be around when I'm needed, then go back with Renamon, which next challenge I'm going to see if I can bring her with me, oh wouldn't that be awesome? ( cool smile ) Though I see a copycat among the dummies I'm with, maybe even someone of my intelligence? Robin. He's one I've been keeping an eye on today...he's been quiet, out of the way, much like I have, but he also seems quite skilled too, which is troubling...with someone actually having a brain on my tribe, would it be in my best interest to align myself with him? Hmmm, I don't know, I'll have to think about it...
( Tommy ) What did I think of today? I found it to be a bit of a downer, but like Cody says, it's nothing we can't handle! I'm sure we can win immunity tomorrow if only Jessie, James, Ash, and Rika would just stop fighting... I have to say though, I don't like James most of all, where does he get off being mean to Lita? She's really nice and Cody and me like her. And nobody's mean to someone we like. Since we also like Madison, we feel real bad for her right now, I wish we could find he tape for her...And Zeniba's great too, though she kinda made us uneasy today when she yelled like Jessie yells...can you still be good when you can yell like Jessie? ( sweat drop ) I guess we'll see. I'm liking the new Digidestains better and better I'd say, and I'm still so excited to tell everyone else about them ( bright smile ) I wonder what our new tribe mate is going to be like, we've only just met her, but I think she might be really nice ( sweet smile )
( Madison ) What did I think of today? Well not horrible or anything, but it was definitly not a great day, I'd say the worst part was losing the challenge and losing my tape, I still don't know what kind of person would do that? Both Zeniba and Eli assure me that we'll find out who, but by the time we do, will it really matter? ( sighs ) I just know I shouldn't have left my camera with James, but it happened and there's nothing I can do now, I'll put in my extra tape and film somemore tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow I hope things go much better than today, if we're smart we won't end up pairing up people who openly hate eachother, no matter what happens I suppose it will always make for some good footage? I only hope I can catch some Sakura, Li, action tomorrow ( ho ho ho ho...)
( Eli ) What did I think of today? Rather interesting. Our loss wasn't shocking to say the least when you have people like Rika, Jessie, James, and Ash on your tribe, but still even with them I see some very strong people on Badak, so I don't really believe in using our weakest players as an excuse for our loss, if we lose we all had a part in it. The game unoffically started today, those with sharp minds will have noticed this. Now is when things will get interesting, how soon will people start to create solid alliences? Will they make them before we head to the challange tomorrow, or wait to see if we lose? Hmmm, I know what I'll be doing, watching. While nothing is certain I feel Madison and I have an unspoken allience and that is enough for me. If I am approuch tomorrow, so be it, but if you chose me, you take Madison too.
( Ash ) What did I think of today? It was terrible! I couldn't have asked Jessie and James to mess it up more! Yesterday was bad, but today is worse by far! We lost because of them! We would have had food service! Can you imagine? Burgers! Ketchup! ( I know Pikachu would have liked that...) ( sighs ) It would have been so great, but no, my tribe had to let me down. Well other than the loss I'm really not sure about what's going on with the fighting? I mean, let's take a look here, since when does James pick fights? If I'm going to be stuck on an island with these weirdos I wanna know why their acting so crazy, I mean I can't say I like the goody-two-shoes Sailor Scouts or whatever, but did he really have to pitch such a fit about cooking? James can't cook! What was wrong with him? Why do they have to make this so miserable for me? ( calms down ) Needless to say I was more than happy when Jessie dragged him away and they both left my sight for a while. I can only say that if we lose tomorrow ( which I'm 99.9 percent sure that we will, especially with me being this close to helping it along ) I will be voting one of them off, or two! Maybe if I plead enough and show Jeff how awful it is to be stuck on an island with them, maybe he'll take pity? I hope Mihoshi watches that creature of hers closely, I saw the wheels turning in Jessie's head, things like that happen when you live on Insane Island...
( Jessie ) What did I think of today? Completely the worst! What did I do to deserve not only living on an island with the twirp, but having my partner suddenly turn crazy? I don't know what his problem was today but after our talk ( in which I threatened him with everything in the book ) he was still acting up! I've never seen it before, it's this blasted island! Having to deal with him, that Rika brat, the old fart, and losing today, was not a treat! This is not the kind of thing a reining Princess day Princess is entitled to handle! I just won't stand for it! And what rock did that Eyeyeka crawl out from under, because she is not a real princess and is definitely not better than me! We should lose tomorrow, I need one of those pains in the butt gone! First being Ash! ...And as he leaves I'll steal all his Pokemon and he won't be able to do a thing about it because as Jeff says 'Once a person is voted out the decision is final, that person will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.' And Ash won't be able to come back! ( evil laugh ) The same will follow for that Rika's Renamon and that dumb Mihoshi's black furry thing...( ha ha ha ha...)
( James ) What did I think of today? Awful. That Lita really got on my nerves, in fact, everybody got on my nerves! Everybody lost the challenge, and everybody took Lita's side, and everybody wouldn't listen to me when I told them just who that Evil Eyeyeka was! I'm going to sleep with one eye open tonight and when everyone's brains get stolen, I'm going tell them I told you so! I wish Meowth were here, he would help me...But I must do this alone, I will not back down, not to Jessie, not to anyone. I am a good cook and they will see that tomorrow and I'm done with Jessie's non-sense, I can say what I want to say, when I want to say it! She's not the boss of me anymore, I'm far too important to be voted off so I'm in no danger, she's just paranoid because nobody likes her, and with good reason! No, I'm not going to be stuck in her shadow, getting blamed for all her mistakes. I'm going to play my own game and everyone is going to see how smart I really am! No more Mr. Nice Guy. I'm already gathering the strongest players on my side, Mihoshi being the first. Her and her valuable animal will be my greatest allies until I can met up again with Meowth and then will go to the final three together and nobody can stop me, not even the Alien!
( Mina ) What did I think of today? Disappointing. I was really looking forward to winning today, but so many things changed. Nobody's as excited or sociable just because we lost, it's really bringing me down. I mean why does have to be with way? Yesterday everybody was happy to met each other and interested to know what everyone was about, but now it's like, oh we lost, boo hoo...Come on people! Immunity is what we want to win! We even have another person to help us out! I know we can do it! Yeah someone on Gajah is stealing our stuff, and yeah Ash, Rika, Jessie and James are still fighting, but they were fighting yesterday, I think they even fought less today! ( much thanks to Zeniba! ) We still have strong people here, no matter how much conflict is going on, and I think we need to remember that when we head into our challenge tomorrow, everyone just use your strengths and worry about your problems with each other later! Though I do have to say, I liked James before, but not now. If he keeps tearing into Lita like that he's gonna get Sailor-V coming at him full speed, and everybody knows you don't mess with Sailor-V ( wink )
( Amy ) What did I think of today? Sadly right on track with my predictions. Of course it didn't take rocket science to figure out that our odds of winning today with Ash, Rika, Jessie, and James on our tribe along with them being in positions important to winning, they were small. Now having a chance to calculate everyone's reactions into our enthusiasm and overall drive for winning tomorrow, I have unsurprisingly found that our chances are again, low. It's all the fighting that's going on really, a tribe like this need motivation. I've talked to Mina about it and she agrees, perhaps we can still boost everyone up for tomorrow's immunity? I certainly hope so. Maybe this new tribe member is just what we needed? Being a princess from Jurai she must have some sort of natural talent for commanding order and boosting morale? I was quiet happy we got to show everyone what we can do today, seeing as we didn't demon straight this at the challenge which in retrospect, would have been good, but what's done is done and we got to show them always ( smile )
( Darien ) What did I think of today? What was there to think? We lost, yes, but with the way things were going...It would have been rather dumb to go into this thing thinking we were going to come out clear winners. The source of our loss was of course not hard to find. The conflict that I witnessed yesterday has hardly lessened and I'm sure it will only grow more if not handled, and soon. I've seen my fair share of fights ( my future wife is Serena, my future daughter is Rini, need I say more? ) So I do know a thing or two about keeping things as calm as they can be. But nobody has asked for help yet and unless things really get out of hand ( which I'm sure they will...) I'm not stepping into anything I was not asked to. I think I can safely say that Zeniba is our leader of sorts and what's going on is ultimately her responsibility, if she doesn't do more than yell these next few days, she might find herself out of a leadership position. A tribe can't have a leader who can't handle a bunch bickering kids. But all the same the old woman has seemed pretty tough to me, so I guess it's only a matter of time. The best thing we can do is win tomorrow and with this new Princess Ayeka on our team, call me crazy, but maybe it's possible?
( Lita ) What did I think of today? Challenging. And in everyway. Yesterday couldn't be called peaceful, but it was more peaceful than today, that's for sure. For one James seemed like quite a nice, slightly dim, guy. But today he completely flipped a lid or something! I wasn't accusing him of being a bad cook, I don't even call Serena a bad cook! But for some reason he seems to have it in his head that I think he's awful or something and he finds the need to defend himself, completely crazy! At first the idea of a confrontation involving me had me a bit nervous, I saw what other fights had made people look like and I did not want to be the next Jessie, but the guy would just not stop, complaining about every meal I made, every choice I made, that was it! So I got a little mad and basically told him I don't care anymore. Thankfully the tribe seemed to support me rather than isolate me for being dragged into a fight I didn't want in the first place. I am tough though, I have been in my fair share of fights and if he wants to keep pushing I will push back eventually. Let's just hope we can win tomorrow and put all of this behind us, he cooks tomorrow, maybe that's all he needs and then he'll stop?
( Robin ) What did I think of today? Pretty eye opening. Losing hasn't ever been my thing, so I was rather mad we did lose, but for some reason I was less affected than I thought I'd be. Maybe that it was because I expected to us to lose ( Four words: Ash, Jessie, James, Rika ) or maybe it was because I know I did my best and when it came down to it, I wasn't the reason we lost. Whatever the reason, I know we can win tomorrow if we just play it smart. I mean, how in the world did it end up being some of our worst people out there in the most critical positions? But our loss was not the only major thing that happened, consiquenicely, the game has began with it. I'm not sure how many people have noticed it, but it has. The best alliances are the ones you've kept from the being, but I don't think I'll plunge into game play that fast. There's still time to watch and wait, like what if I had made an alliance with James? He seemed like a nice enough guy yesterday, but went crazy today. Yeah, I think I wait and see just who the crazy ones are.
( Mihoshi ) What did I think of today? Well at first I thought it was scary, since out of no where James was attacked by a spider, then I thought it was exciting when we went to the challenge, then I thought it was sad when we lost, then I thought it was bad when Madison's tape was stolen, then I thought it was sad again, Until I thought it was the best day ever when Ayeka arrived, and that's how it ended up for me, really, really, good ( bright smile ) I never knew just how lonely I was until I saw her, I just wanted to hug and never let go ( tears filling eyes ) But then when she promised me she was staying I was happy again and when she gave me Ryo-oki, oh my gosh! It was the very best in the world, two friends, two friends for me! Now I don't have much against my tribe, but they just don't know me very well yet, so it was nice to see someone who knows me well. I still miss Kiyone, but having Ryo-oki and Ayeka here eases the pain a bit ( small smile ) I really hope we can put this day behind us and move on to win the immunity challenge ( wink )
( Ayeka ) What did I think of today? Well, a bit overwhelming to be honest. Everyone else has already lived here for a day, got to know each other for a day, went to a challenge together...I'm afraid I'm bit out of sync with them, but I'm sure I'll be able to catch up quick. So far it's very obvious that my tribe has some serious people problems, that Jessie woman, that James man, that Ash boy, and that Lita girl, seemed to be the most conflicting. I have almost no doubts that these conflicts played a part in losing today's reward. Hopefully I will be able to restore order very soon. I was very shocked tonight most by James's behavior, how could he dare accuse me, Princess of Jurai, of Evil Alien plots against his planet? Do I have raving lunatic spelled across my forehead? I don't think so! Needless to say I was most relieved when that young man Robin came to my aid, having known already other people from other planets, I think he will make a suitable friend somewhere down the road. Sadly right now alls I have is Mihoshi, and who know where Tenchi is...alls I know is he better not be with Ryoko or I swear I will get her back at the very next challenge we have ( fire in eyes )
