and so it begins boys...
Let's analyze the tribes...
Zeus - Chris, Drew, Dru, Fei, Joanne, Kyle, Mike, Nikki, Sassy, Taylor Street...
I like this tribe as a whole... I like the fact that Dru and Nikki are on the same tribe... They are cool with one another which helps Dru's game... I feel like Chris and Drew will be a team, I don't know why... but I see those two working together... maybe through past game experiences with both of them, I know they both work well together. I think the rest are up in the air... I think Dru will be able to sweet talk Fei into doing whatever he wants... she isn't used to people being nice to her and Dru will romance her up and down to own her vote... I think Taylor Street will go whatever way the wind blows the strongest in the beginning... which is fine because it advances his game. Gut feeling tells me this guy will be a big part of the game, post-merge! Wonder how Joanne will work with Dru after watching his game play from Venezuela along with the things Trevor has told her about Dru? Joanne may be the one to slay Dru... Sassy is a wrecking ball, in a good way... I don't really know which way she'll turn considering no one from the West Coast Alliance is presently on her tribe... Kyle, I think Dru will be able to pull him in as well... ha, I am really mancrushing on Dru... geez... and then Mike, who knows with this kid. I think we have a few set things in place on this tribe but there is a lot still up in the air!
Poseidon - Alyx, Allen, Britti, Craig, Derrick, Jacob, Nax, Rene, Ricky, Ryan
This is a wild tribe for me... I like the dynamics of this tribe because it isn't full of people that love Ricky. Let's be serious. This tribe is probably the worse set up for Ricky... especially since grandpa is with him. Easy first targets should they need to get rid of people. With only three people from the West Coast Alliance, Ricky / Nax / Craig may be in trouble early! Another tribe where the possibilities are ended on how this could go... I heard Jacob wants no parts of Haiti people, which splits Jacob and Derrick... but I don't think that will be either of them two in the bottom of their tribe. Note to Poseidon tribemates... utilize Rene!!!!!! Anyone else think Ryan and Allan look similar?! perfect reason to form an alliance with a really bad name! it's almost protocol for any reality tv show these days.. Rooting for Alyx, Allan, and Britti from this tribe!
Hades - Alex, Dave, Debbie, HLC, Jared, Joe Purcell, Joey, Kurtis, Mary Cooper, Nicole
I like this tribe... for the fact that it provides people with an out from the prior relationships that they had, mainly Nicole and Alex Rico. Nicole needed to be separated from her AoE counter parts as it would be the biggest hindrance to her game. With her likability and challenge prowess, this is the perfect tribe for her to be on... without Ricky and Nax, I don't think she'll be viewed as that big of a threat because she'll have to play her own game and others will go before her; others who aren't as good at challenges. Alex Rico is also away from Fei which is great for his game. He would play with his heart FOR Fei and I was worried it would cost him his game... He is a good guy and I want to see him go far... Mary Cooper, I hope she actually brought her brain with her this time and isn't going to be led to the end by someone needing her vote... I really want to see her PLAY her own game this time. I don't know how Joey, Jared and Dave will fit into this, as I don't know much about their game play so that will be fun to watch. Debbie, same... Kurtis, should be an early vote as I think he rubs people the wrong way and will be too cocky in the beginning for people's liking. Joe Purcell, I think he'll adapt. He always does. Looking forward to seeing Joe Purcell at the end of this game. I feel like its almost a sin to vote against Joe Purcell... and then there was HLC... All Stars 3 first boot. The skype chat will blow up when someone curses and HLC will put an end to that and the people in her tribe will put an end to her. I love her enthusiasm for the game but her personality and her inability to see past the flaws ( in her eyes ) of other people will be her down fall.

Poseidon was the first tribe to call, the other two have yet to, but unsurprising. I think there will be some pretty interesting dynamics especially going into this challenge. There's going to be a LOT of frustrations with this one so I'm pretty excited.

Alright time for a tribe breakdown
Zeus- Chris, Drew, Dru, Fei, Joanne, Kyle, Mike, Nikki, Sassy, Taylor Street.
This is the tribe I have mixed feelings about. There are some I love, and some I am just not feeling. I am rooting for Chris, Drew, Dru, Sassy, and Nikki on this tribe. I think that Nikki and Dru will definitely try to work together because of their Chicago connection. I also see Trevor playing a part in Joanne's game. When I say this, I mean that I think he will warn her about Dru, and maybe she will target him. But I also see Joanne trying to go back with Nikki so maybe she will get pulled in with Dru. On this tribe, I think that Mike or Taylor will be gone first. I just don't see them fitting in with the tribe. However, if Dru is really hated, he could go very early as well. As of who I think will do well on this tribe, I think Drew, Chris, and Sassy are going to do very well. I think they will not get targeted and bond easily with these people. Also, they are the few that don't have the in your face personality where Taylor and Mike and Dru do.
Poseidon- Alyx, Allen, Britti, Craig, Derrick, Jacob, Nax, Rene, Ricky, Ryan
Poseidon is my least favorite tribe out of the three. Even though I love Ricky, Ryan, and Jacob, a lot of these people are just meh. I don't hate anyone of them I just find this tribe to be full of some boring people. I see Jacob targeting Derrek, and Ricky possibly getting targeted early, but I think the tribe dynamics here will be interesting seeing as I think most of these want to go under the radar. Someone will have to be the leader and I see that being Nax or maybe Ryan even though he said he doesn't want to be the leader. I see Derrek getting out early on this tribe because he will push people the wrong way by whining and complaining. So for first boot on this tribe I predict Renee or Derrek being the first boot from this tribe
Hades-Alex, Dave, Debbie, HLC, Jared, Joe Purcell, Joey, Kurtis, Mary Cooper, Nicole
MY FAVORITE TRIBE!! I love Alex, I love Dave, I love Jared, I love Joe Purcell, I love Kurtis! And the only one I don't like is HLC on this tribe. So pumped for this tribe. Rooting for them to do well. However, when they lose I see HLC or Joey being the first boot just by not being able to connect with people and annoying them. I think Dave, Nicole, and Mary will be in great positions on this tribe because they will be able to hide behind some of the characters like Kurtis, Joey, Jared, and Alex. But I just love this tribe. It seems like such a fun tribe to be on. But with characters comes drama. I see this tribe being the drama tribe of the season, but I love drama! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TRIBE!!!!!

Zeus is a mixed bag, definitely not the worst of the three but not the best either. You've got a mix of the old school vs. new school but there's no big personalities to speak of. I can't see an emerging leader from this tribe, so they'll be an interesting group in terms of how they're going to muddle through this game until a switch/merge.
Poseidon is going to be a force to be reckoned with, you've got Jacob, Ryan, Britti, Ricky, Derek and Nax out the gate as strong performers and then you have stragglers like your Allan, Alyx, Craig and Renee who will quickly be identified as the weaker components. I can see a clash between Ricky and Ryan which will (if proven) fracture the tribe as they will more than likely step into a leadership role.
Hades reeks of goats, HLC and Debbie immediately come to mind. The strongest girl on their side is Nic and maybe Mary? But you can write off the other two straight away. Joe has some beef with Dave, Joey is once again the random pick which he embraces and Alex seems to be stuck in the middle of this incredibly diverse and unfortunate tribe. Consider this group the La Arana, the Les Cayes, whatever! This tribe sucks and will be the hardest to salvage any game coming out of it.

I LOVE Hades. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kurtis/Alex/Joe Purcell alliance. I was squealing like a little girl watching Kurtis's confessional about how him and Joe Purcell are working together. LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Love the whole Hades threesome especially with the double winners. At the same time I like how Kurtis is counting out Nicole or Mary while others may write them off due to their connection with Ricky.

So far My favorite is Poseidon not only because Alyx and Jacob are there but because they seem like they will be pretty even Keel. They have enough level headed people to get done what needs to get done! The personalities may be bigger then others but I don't feel like they will clash to much. I have a few favorites on Hades but as a whole they aren't my favorite. It seems as though there will be drama from this team for sure..although they are already working well together and have a alliance of 6 already formed. Then there is Zeus... the band of misfits...I have been on a band of misfits tribe. I hope they prove me wrong because I wish that on no one.

Just skimmed through the new updates in the journals section and I cannot wait to watch Dave's videos. Was wondering why he was so quiet and it turns out he was being thorough and posted some brief videos on a number of topics.
Also interested to see some of the videos of the players who have not posted yet.
PS: Jacob's very first video was great and got me excited for his return all over again.

Poseidon
Ricky - I kind of like seeing a humble Ricky. I like the fact that he realized he needs to relax in order to advance his game and stay awhile. The one thing I would like to call bullshit on is his mention of "rumors" about his pre-gaming... Let's be serious Ricky... look at the people you had at your meet up!? #WestCoastAlliance ... well, in your mind at least. I wouldn't be surprised if Ricky is a first boot... too much surrounding him, positive and negative to leave him in the game any longer than the first chance you have to get rid of him!
Allen reminded me of how sleep deprived one gets during iSurv1vor. I like this guy... but I think he's probably going to be too nice and too go with the flow to survive in this game... and their tribes split again into two? where is that rumor coming from?! I do like an Allan-Britti-Ryan Alliance that doesn't include Ricky but may include Jacob!
AlyXXX - LOVE Alyx with her red hair... probably one of my newest favorite iSurv1vor people! Joe Purcell = Coffee and Kirin, all I know about him. hahaha, lmao! She didn't really offer much besides first impressions... hope she can look pass people's personality and figure out who can use and not use!
Britti - she is trusting Ricky?! at least she is on to the fact that he is probably telling everyone the same thing. I would hate to see Ricky play a Fei game where she had alliances with everyone and then they finally talked and it all back fire in Ricky's face! I dont know why but I love the Ryan - Allan - Britti trio! Maybe because Ryan and Allan look like they could be twins?!
Craig - another that hasn't produced much, confessional wise yet but one thing I did take away from what he did post was that he realizes that pre-existing relationships are key to this game! Will Craig by the player to rally the wild card players and mutiny against the inner circle of iSurv1vor?! Unfortunately for him... that is only Rene on his tribe... but fortunately for him, Ricky doesn't have as many followers on this tribe as he could have...
Jacob - haha, how can you not love this guy! I love his analysis of the game... the fact that he wants to get rid of Haiti... the fact that he sees Taylor Street as a threat... I agree 100%... he doesn't have an impressive resume, physically.. but playing the game so much, the mindset is there to do damage... so I agree 100% with Jacob about Taylor Street! I am rooting for this kid... he is super analytically of his tribe and the group dynamics of his tribe! Even though he is the new kid on the block and most recent winner, I don't think that is going to hurt him... he has his finger on the pulse of this game and I think he'll do well!
Nax - 4:30 AM... dedication... but then you offered nothing to your video... ah, whatever. Next!
Rene - has contribute anything yet to her confessional... a sign of her effort in the challenge? I hope not... but I still think she wont be the first to go because as a wild card player, she can be scooped up as a number!
Derrick - Well, arent you a little iB1tter? He is kind of annoying. I don't remember him being this annoying in Haiti... Another person who is really onto the pairings on their tribe... but starting off with a discussion about how Jaob and him are working together makes me wonder if this is Jacob knowledge coming out of Derricks mouth. Kind of annoyed that he can't make a complete sentence without saying the F word... grow up, kiddo! Can't watch anymore.
Ryan - a good starting point with Allan and Britti... makes a good point about Alyxxx having a great personality and everyone loving her... which is bad for Alyxxx game! haha, "throw me under a bus that you dont realize you are driving!" -- he also has a good feel on his tribe... didn't expect this from him, to be honest with you. no offense to him just don't know much about him. Nooooo. he wants to work with Nax!!! wow... will Ryan be the one to slay Ricky?!?! I would be his biggest fan!
Overall Thoughts
- Ricky is in trouble - Britti has a lot of possibilities with this tribe if she works on a few things, like not talking as much - Jacob is my favorite from this tribe. A real player of the game! - Still not a fan of Nax. - pairs will be a huge factor into this tribe... - I am lookin forward to watching this tribe! - I think Nax wants to play his own game... but I don't know if the other 28 players will let him be his own player!

4 beers in... and Shipwreck' done for a bunch of summer camp kids...
time to take a look at Zeus!
Chris - I like Chris... hated Michonne... love Chris. I probably would of worked with Michonne if I knew it was Chris. haha, "the cool drew"... in regards to Drew Turner NOT Dru from Venezuela. and yes, I was part of the alliance that booted them off! haha. why can't he mention my name!?!?! Chris explains why there arent many confessionals for this tribe... everyone has a headache or were tired!
Drew - no video confessionals... catching up is SOOOO easy! He doesn't have many pre-existing relationships the same way the other people do but I think he has a great reputation from iSurv1vor Live which will help him just as much...
Dru - Hasnt done a confessional yet... just answered his questions. I like this kid. I dont care what anyone says... I think part of me likes him because no one else does! He is a strong player with a stronger mouth. People tend to not like people that talk a big game and can actually back it up! The analysis of Dru tonight will come from what other people have said about him so far. -- added later: no one talked much about Dru except for Sassy and Joanne! hmmm.
Fei - guess there hasnt been much game talk on the Zeus tribe... another person without a confessional. I am interested in seeing Fei play... and hopefully fail. Im not bitter... yes, yes I am... but let's be serious. Is she really all star material? That is neither here nor there... she is here for a better experience and in all honesty, I hope she gets it. This is supposed to be fun and she got the raw end of the stick in India... time to see what other people have to say about Fei!
Joanne - I may be right when I say that Joanne will be the one to slay Dru... she seems really annoyed by Dru... and she knows what kind of player Dru is... redemption for Dru slaying Trevor?!
Kyle - with a mixed resume, I don't know what to think of Kyle. I want to like Kyle because I like underdogs... but I don't know if he'll give me anything to root for. He basically said in his video that he has horrible social skills. He also doesn't have prior relationships... so that could help his game... had to stop watching on the biggest threat question... because he started talking non-sense!
Mike - I am not reading all that... but it looks like Taylor Street is trying to become friends with one of the wild card players of the season. Chris Barkley is doing the same thing. Not sure if these are the only two that talked to Mike or if he's just lacking confessionals... but I like their strategy in terms of using Mike as a number.
Nikki - another who didn't do any confessionals... let's read her questions! The interesting thing I see about Nikki is that she is close with Jo and Dru. I feel like that is like having divorced parents and having to choose who's house to go to on Christmas.
Sassy - I am not surprised that Ricky is trying to get Sassy to do some of her dirty work.. but I am surprised that she isn't falling for it. I was for sure thinking Sassy would be part of the West Coast Alliance. I watched sassy's video early and forgot what I wanted to write... If i remember correctly, Dru spoke game to her.. and she called him psychotic... not a fan of that!
Taylor - I like this kid... i saw him as a guy that will lay low in the beginning until he really has to play and that is when he will be powerful and that is exactly how he said things will go... makes me like him even more... makes me question my own sanity since I was on the same wave length as Taylor Street. His only real pre-existing relationship isn't on his tribe and as much as he feels like that sucks, I think that is a blessing... and it's Allen.. who everyone has a relationship with. It's not like Ni cole and Ricky... who you would want to prevent from making it to the merge together! No one is going to say, "we have to get rid of taylor so he can't meet up with allan at the merge!' #TeamStreet
Interesting overall thoughts...
Drew, Chris, Sassy v.s. Nikki, Dru, Joanne... with the wild card players being crucial to this tribe's game! Taylor Street is the Dark Horse of this season if he can manage to get himself deep in the game. I am intrigued to see if sassy is a part of the West Coast Alliance and will start doing Ricky's dirty work... Looks like Nikki is the first one gone, should they lose... b/c kyle doesn't like vagina?! Guess thats strategy! Voting out Nikki would def set Dru off... and that would be great to watch! This tribe is going to revolve around Dru... whether it be his downfall or his rise to glory... but either way, I'll enjoy it.

Hades - 6 beers later... but only 2 since I did wrote about the Zeus tribe... so it won't be bad!
Alex - ugh! he is friends with Kurtis... damn you, Alex! I want to like you! I want to root for you! I can't root for you if you are working with Kurtis though! but you are willing to make a move against Kurtis... GREAT! back to liking you, Alex. Another person who sees the AoE connection! yesss! The Magnificent 6 has formed.... but he has Dave and Debbie to help him too... and he doesn't trust Joey.. which is OK with this... who really wants Joey to stay around?
David - not watching ur 872 videos... but i'll some of them... seems like he knows tribal dynamics... which is huge... then he went on to talk about the magnificent 6... same story different confessional.
Debbie - You can't believe you're here? Me either... but you only did your questions... so I am ok with you, right now. Let's listen... ahhh, Debbie... you'll be carried as far as you are needed... and then you will be disposed of. You can't deny who you are... but you can deny yourself the victory. You are a "goat" ... i think thats the right terminology... a Goat named Genny! Have fun while it last... it wont be long!
HLC - hahaha. Joe Purcell is her number 1 target! haha. Poor Joe! "its going to be really scary because I don't have Ricky!" - haha. Im done! We all talked about someone picking up HLC for a vote... never expected it be Ricky! AoE featuring HLC... I feel like the world would implode. I love her attitude though and her desire to not let Sandy down. You won't last long but for you, I hope its not a first round boot!
Jared -Oh hell.. he is sick of Joe Purcell because he is shoved down our throat every night! Will Kirin be Joe Purcell's downfall?! and he called Debbie's vocabulary handsome! hahaha. a 6 person alliance... OH Debbie!!! HLC... an alliance with Bailey... just leave now! Vote yourself out. Jared feels close to curtis which means i can't like him.
Joe - poor joe... 38 minutes of confessionals... and im extremely tired and feeling good. so Joe will get the short end of the stick... and well, let's watch... Joe seems not to fond of Ricky... Joe complain? haha. NEVER... ahah, at least he admits that it is his normal persona. Joe doesn't like that AoE made the cut... and well, I cant help but agree with joe Purcell.. I would laugh my ass off if HLC orchestrated Purcell's departure! and we get back to the Magnificent 6 talk... sorry joe, getting tired!
Joey - you aren't happy with the tribe you are on? be happy you are on a tribe... I feel like he is going to be the Robby Rob of All Stars! He is looking at this season all wrong.. he is seeing himself as an outcast and not a valuable asset to an alliance that needs a number. I really dislike people with negative attitudes... you're spot could have went to someone else... someone not bitching and crying! Over you!
Kurtis - first and foremost, fix your neck... and get rid of your wal mart wife beater... his video just annoys me... more nudity? let's take it serious for a minute, ok?! He has a bunch of people he wants to work with and people he is already has alliances with... but I don't think it will be his downfall. I think he'll do well, just based off of the tribal lines... which really pisses me off!
Mary Cooper - has nothing due to the fact that she made her videos public... and then took them down! Different Season, Same Mary! Find a clue girl!
Ni cole - her video started and Im like, awww look at ni cole being cute little ni cole that everyone loves... then i threw up! over you! She missed the first night... which explains why she isn't in the magnificent 6... and I don't think she'll find a way into that mix. Having Ricky and Nax here is her biggest downfall as people won't want her to make the merge! Poor Nicole... eh... don't know if I genuinely mean that or not. She didn't give me much to work with...
Overall Hades Thoughts - Dave, Jared, Debbie, Alex, Joe Purcell, Kurtis - The Magnificent 6. - The outcast: HLC, Joey, Mary, Nicole - Alex's Angels: Dave and Debbie - Kurtis' Klan: Kurtis, Jared, Nicole and Mary
Seems like this tribe is just a cluster buck of alliances! but with a main majority which will dictate if they stick to it...
funny how one tribe is up in the air, one tribe has a partner pairings, and one tribe has a majority alliance but multiple people in the majority alliance have sub-alliances!
Game on All stars!

So night 2 was pretty interesting, all 3 tribes had a pretty lengthy skype call. Poseidon seemed to just be most of them drinking and being silly lol. Zeus was on ghang playing little campfire-type games. Seems like they were having a good time. I was on Hades call for most of the night though, mostly just since they're my favorite tribe. They talked to HLC for awhile who I think they were genuinely were trying to make conversation with but she was being a little difficult to talk to like usual. She kept telling really awkward stories, and when Joe Purcell and I started playfully bantering back and forth, she yelled at us to stop arguing and threatened to leave the call if we continued lol. When she finally left, the rest of them just chatted for awhile. Not really a lot of extreme strategy, mostly just general chit chat. I guess the most notable thing was Alex and Joey talking about what went wrong in Montenegro for awhile, which Alex definitely appreciated. The other notable thing was how quiet Joey was I guess. Honestly I don't think he was like being particularly quiet for any reason, at least that's the vibe I got. I thought he just was listening in and didn't have a whole lot to say, but when he did, he'd say it. But Alex seemed to really question why Joey was being so quiet and was wondering if it was because Joey feels like he's on the outs.
