I can not believe what has just happened. Matt has turned into my savior and may have just helped me stay in this game. I knew that he would be into the idea that our idol would be used early from over here and would be used to his advantage - that he would jump at it!
The clue he gave me says that he had to post just the word 'look' a certain amount of times in his tribe camp. He said that he only had to do it 4 times in one post and he got it.
The bad thing to this... is that the amount of times could be different over here or our way to find the idol could be very different. But it is worth trying and this is all I got and can do!
I saw Tijuana posted 'look' three times in one of her songs so maybe if I post a song in her thread with 'look' many times I may get it! It will not look suspicious and people will think I am just joining in on the party... here is to trying and hoping I get the idol!

I did not get anything according to Mr. Bernard.
I have hit a dead end it appears. The only thing on the clue parchment that can be interchanged is 'look'. It could be a word close to 'look' and one could assume it is not plural like Menba's. It could be any word but should be related to looking for the idol?
Possible Words:
look
search
find
discover
dig
hunt
locate

I am still idol-less and RC is at the Jungle as we speak and could be gathering clues. The good thing is that she is there so I have time to get it here. So far I have no luck and 'look' and 'search' got me nothing. I just did a song with 'find' and I think that could be right right term.
I am smiling to myself that my karma keeps going down. If it is someone over here... boy will they be sorry when and if I get the idol in my pocket because the game will change and I will have some power that could determine who stays and who goes.
I do not think Tyson is doing it because Tyson at least messages me when I get on messenger and tries to talk. Malcolm does not. Malcolm is who I have no desire to speak to and who I think is smiting me. I hope I can get this idol and change the game in my favor.

I just did another song with 'discover' in it a few times. If 'find' and 'discover' do not work I will try the others later when I get back. No one is online but I did send Matt an update and told him how 'look' did not work and I am trying other possible words but no such luck.
He might think I am lying to him. I hope he doesn't because if I did find it I would tell him.
It feels good to win tribe safety this week and not have to worry about voting. Winning has given me more time to search for the idol and for that I feel overjoyed and so blessed.

I look a little crazy posting songs over and over in the thread.
I wish the others would post things too so it would not look as suspicious. I might send Tijuana a message and ask her to post in the thread that way people start getting involved and just say this could be our way of getting back in to the tribe and making nice with all them.
If I get nothing from my list then I am going to have to deal with it and find another way.

It's unfortunate that we lost this challenge.
I felt that we had a good start and once Jonas lost his coconut it went downhill. Alexis and I stayed in the endzone with our coconuts and Tyson and RC fought for the other two but got carried all the way to our side. Tijuana seemed to play a poor defense.
But at least she played as opposed to Malcolm who did not.
I am talking to Alexis and Jonas on messenger and Alexis pointed out how it is about 4AM for Tijuana but she was on and posting where Malcolm was no where to be found. Jonas - like me - is on to Malcolm and Tyson and feels that Malcolm blew off the challenge because he felt safe even if we lost. It will be between my darling Tijuana or Malcolm tomorrow.
I do have my idol but this could be useful for me later more so than now.

Malcolm wanted to base the last vote off the most recent challenge so I feel like he should be subjected to the same treatment. I know that he will be around camp late tonight or tomorrow campaigning to stay so he could sway the odds in his favor yet again.. I'm stressed.
My dilemma this round will be whether or not I should save Tijuana with the idol or save it for myself and just stay close with Jonas and Alexis. I can see fallouts to both sides. If I use the idol on Tijuana then Alexis and Jonas will be isolated from me but if I stick with Alexis and Jonas then I become a third wheel in their alliance and lose someone with no alliance like Tijuana.
Jonas feels that Malcolm, Tyson, and RC will vote together no matter what and I agree on the terms that it will be for Tijuana. It is up to Alexis what she wants to do. If she sides with Malcolm again then I need to just know that what I want with her in this game is hopeless...
I am not campaigning for T to stay but stating that my bias and reason say to boot Malcolm.

Alexis is leaning to take out Malcolm.
This sounds like last round so I am not going to fully invest in that comment.
Alexis' worry is that RC gathered a clue from the jungle but believes that it could only really be a double vote or null vote which would make the vote tie 4-4 or 3-3 so it would be unavoidable. I am not going to tell her I have the idol but will try to sway her from the fear of an idol.
Malcolm made the comment to me a round or so ago about cutting the throats of people who you cannot trust before a merge or swap which Alexis thinks could happen next round. Well... I don't trust Malcolm - so let's see if mother can do work and take Malcolm out.
I messaged Tijuana and told her what was happening and to try and talk to Alexis and Jonas when she could. If Malcolm goes I will be very proud of this; he made it so easy!

I am getting my way it seems - this is a dream come true.
I will have a rather large smile on my face when I see Carlos Bernard snuff Malcolm's torch. I won't be able to wipe it off my face and I don't care if Tyson or RC see it.
Alexis has told me that she has already voted and that Malcolm was the name on the parchment. All we need now is Jonas to vote but he is at school so he will when he gets home. I am so happy. I want to jump up and down and dance and wave my arms around but I'll be polite and just scream and shout in my head. This will be a good evening for me.

It continues to baffle me as to how much Jonas sways with the wind. He feels one way and then feels another a few hours later. It is hard to keep him on course. While I am the motherly figure out here - I am no babysitter. This isn't the Babysitter's Club. I cannot do this 24/7.
Before the challenge began it was decided that Danni, Matt, Tijuana, and I would throw the challenge. This would work if we also sat out Abi and only Jonas and Brandon were the two people trying. Everything worked out as it was supposed to and we ended up losing.
During the challenge I was having a conversation with Jonas about what our angle would be if we lost and he seemed content with Brandon being who we targeted. But now that we've lost he's changed his tune and he wants to keep Brandon and "use him" later because he believes Brandon is on the bottom of his old tribe. Based on Danni and my chats - this is false.
Jonas wanting to keep Brandon is only supporting the rumors of them being aligned and while I did not believe them at first I am starting to second guess my initial judgement.

Danni and Matt are still set on taking out Brandon and I am on board with that and I assume that Tijuana will as well. I will send her a message and let her know what's going on.
The goal is to make this vote a 5-2 instead of a 4-3.
I need to try and get Jonas back on track with booting Brandon and my angle will be to push the 'Jonas and Brandon are aligned' rumor. If he doesn't vote to take out Brandon or vote with his original Luoba members then it only supports the theory that he's with Brandon and that will make it harder for him moving forwards. I'm not only saying that - it's also true.
If Jonas doesn't vote with me and Tijuana like he said he would then I have lost all hope in him and I will never be able to take what he says worth anything. He and Alexis need to work on that and if he neglects to vote with Tijuana and I then I'm cutting the cord.
There is a brand of loyalty at stake here.

I am happy to see that Brandon left. I adore Danni and Matt and they along with Tijuana are my favorite people in the game. They have my loyalty and I hope they know that.
I am no longer going to communicate or associate with Jonas as much anymore. He further showed me that he is not going to change in this game and he has no allegiances except to himself. That is fine as only one can win - but you need allies to go far with and I just can not bring myself to work with him in this game after this last vote and that can be understood.
We have now merged and the tribe name seems immature and I just am sitting on the sideline and nodding my head as all the kids decide what they want it to be. Let them have their fun and goof around. I am okay with that - but I'm not taking my eye off the prize and that's the win. They can have all the alcohol they want and get drunk and look funny doing it.
I do not think it is in my best interest to do well in this challenge or even try as much - I feel that if I go longer than any of the other original Luoba members that might make me the target to some of the original Menba players. I might not even attempt this.

Gwadapoo. What an interesting tribe name for all of us. I don't have much more to comment.
Danni has been working hard to make sure that Tijuana stays in the game. It has come to our attention that Jay has been leading a group to take out Tijuana to save the people that only mean something to him. I am glad I have a smart ally like Danni to take control of the situation because she sees what he's doing. Jay is someone I see as most threatening from Menba
What is odd is that they would target Tijuana over me. I don't quite understand the logic there as I feel that I have done more and have been more of a figure than she has. I'm not complaining - I'm just glad I am going to be safe another round.
It was a mistake to throw this challenge and I am not going to throw anymore anytime soon for the sole reason that I could have left this round. I wonder if Alexis or Jonas had not won if they would have been targeted over Tijuana? I guess we shall see next round but I am hoping with Jay not getting his way - he will be targeted next and taken out by my alliance.

RC is making an effort to speak with me now after quite a few round. I wish that it was something where she wasn't in the hot seat and I could have a small bit of hope that it was real - but all I sense right now is small desperation. I wish it was in another scenario.
The vote has come down to Jonas or RC. RC and Alexis have approached me and want to take out Jonas. I do not know who else they expect to vote with us? I am sure they would expect Tijuana to. That would be their four but then they would need one more.
Meanwhile - Danni and Matt are pushing to me that RC should go and that they are getting people on board to make it happen such as Jonas. This is true because Jonas messaged me after he has not said a word to me since he lied and voted out Tijuana and told me that he wanted to vote out RC and that is who he was hearing for the vote.
I am conflicted. Do I punish Jonas for his disloyal ways and send him out? Tigers don't change their stripes over night and he will be a flipper the entire game. Or do I take out someone like RC? She is only in it for herself and has never given me any prior indication that she likes me.
