Lots of stuff to talk about.
The last vote of the Anubis tribe went great, and showed me that I did indeed know what was going on with everyone. Kevin went home and, lucky us, we also managed to eliminate the extra vote from the game. Overall, I couldn't be happier with what happened. Unfortunately, it didn't much matter because...
We were placed in new tribes. Not cool for ol' Conan. Two of the new tribes have a 2-to-1 majority of old Anubis members and the other two tribes are 2-1 Kitty Cats. Unfortunately, I'm in one of the latter groups. I have no doubt that if we lose the next challenge, I'm toast (with the usual caveat that anything can happen in Survivor).
Still, I think that our tribe has got as good a chance as any to win immunity. Both of my tribemates are active, but who knows how much progress we'll be able to make by the deadline, especially with real-world concerns like time zones and sleep getting in the way! I know that Ozzy has considered throwing the challenge for his tribe so that he and Terry could vote out Jason of the old Bastet. I have no idea if Terry would go for it, though. It would be great for me it that happened, but it's still no guarantee of my tribe's safety, and I'm not holding my breath. Ideally I'd love to see both Ozzy's tribe and Hillary's tribe lose so that the old Anubis would be up 6-4 overall, but that's obviously a huge long-shot. This tribe re-alignment is interesting, because I actually think it's in most people's best interest to throw the challenge, but I doubt that people are smart enough to realize it. The only people that should be trying hard are the folks like me: the lone wolves on a tribe with two former enemies.
Here's hoping I'm still around to make a confessional for Round 6.
