~Round 1~
Well, well, well.
Glad to be a part of this CBSurvivor cast and I hope to stick around for quite some time.
I'm not necessarily starting off on the right foot as I have talked to the same amount of tribemates in the game as I have talked to people who aren't my tribemates. It's a bit disconcerting knowing that the challenge will be coming up tonight and I've only talked to 3 people on my tribe, but I think I'll manage. My social prowess is pretty domineering, so I think it will be pretty easy once I get a hold of people.
See, there's this thing called the Malcolm charm™ (yes, I TM'd that shit) and eventually, all people in the game will fall victim to it. It's inevitable; bound to happen. There really is no escaping it. I'll start by talking very sweetly and they will all be falling for the innocent look. I befriend you and change how I talk to you so you will feel we have so much in common and I actually like you. Eventually you get to the point where you think we have an extremely strong bond, I'm attached to you, and have me wrapped around your finger. But baby, I'll drop you like you're hot if it means I get into a better position.

So let's start talking about who I have been charming!
Matt- This was before the game started and we REALLY hit it off very fast. He was one of 2 people I talked to pre-game and boy I'm glad I did. I would say that he is the only person I wasn't really trying to work and was just generally having a good conversation with. It was very innocent; just talking like friends would. It was nice and a very intelligent conversation; one of the most stimulating (especially first conversations) I've ever had in a game. I'm disappointed we are not tribed, but that doesn't mean our shot at working together is kaput. I'm hopeful we'll work together when we meet up in the future.
Brandon- I'm not sure of his angle. I feel he might be playing as Brandon, but when we talked, he was just normal, like being whoever he is behind the computer. He hinted though that he liked playing a character, so I'm waiting for the preacher to come out very soon here.
Susie- Who picks Susie?! Like what the?! Anyways, I like her. Her and I had a general talk and it ended up leading somewhere. She eventually said "we need to take care of the big elephant in the room and I think we should work together." Ok, I didn't realize there was a big elephant in the room that needed to be addressed, but if you want to ask me for an alliance and then proceed to say that I have "your 200% trust" then two things:
1. You are very trusting and overly trusting, very fast.
and 2. You're not very aware that you can only be 100% in on something. I mean, I've heard of 110%, but even that is a little much. You can NEVER
[/i] trust anyone 100% in Survivor, let alone 200!Well, well, well.

Tijuana- If she's going to talk like a black girl for the whole season........................................we will get along great! I haven't talked to her enough to establish anything more about her than she has an uncanny relation to Madea.
Tyson- Man, I think he's my favorite. I shared a bit of our first conversation in my other thread, but I can really dig this guy and I can see us working closely together. Would I trust him 200%? Hell no, but I can trust him for now. I don't really trust anyone that plays as a Tyson, but at least they're entertaining. I'd go as far to say that he will post similar things in his confessional about "Charm this" and "I'm the shit" that, but we all know I am the big cheese around here.™ I'm better than him, it's just that plain and simple. He will be my little protege and he can just take notes.
Safe to say I'm getting off to a decent start. I just want to be someone people are drawn to and I think I'm working on that pretty well so far.
