Asmat Tribe

Hey, I'm Vytas of Stranded: Portugal and Stranded: All-Stars in Marquesas

Welcome to Stranded in Indonesia!

You'll be seeing a lot of me here, as well as our 10 other co-hosts as we pick your brain to see what's really going on in your head throughout the game. Feel free to ask any of us questions in here if you need to, we've all been through it before and are more than willing to help.

Each round, we'll start by asking some introductory questions, and I just want to ask that you answer in complete statements. We will be actively blogging on each episode, and it's easier to do so if we have real quotes and complete thoughts as opposed to simple yes or no answers. We hope you keep up with your confessionals daily during the week as a way to vent and discuss the events of that day. The more you update your confessional, the better idea we have of whats going on in your head, and also the more fan favorite points you'll earn yourself come the end of the season . You don't have to only update when you are prompted to, whenever you have an idea shoot it at us because we want to know everything.

So..

How confident are you going into this game that you will win?

What are your opinions of your fellow tribemates?

What is your strategy and approach to the game?

How do you think your rep fits you? Do you think being this character will affect your gameplay at all?

What are your thoughts on the leader twist? Change your strategy at all going in to these first few days?

Best of luck out there.

How embarrassing! I've been using the other one for some confessionals, haha. Thanks, Vytas!

Confessional 5 Day 1

"Very. I don't want to sound like a cocky asshole, but I am a cocky asshole, so too bad -- I can tell you right now that Joe Anglim has a great shot to be this season's Sole Survivor. :) I'm probably naive in thinking that, but welp -- I 'aint got nothing to lose."

Confessional 6 Day 1

"I honestly don't dislike anyone! Sure -- there might be a few people that I like a little bit more than everyone else, but nobody has particularly irritated me or anything thus far. :)

Dan seems like a great dude. Honestly, he's one of the most enthusiastic and enjoyable people to talk to here, so I'd definitely be interested in working with him in the future.

So is slightly loopy, but I gotta love her! Seems like a really sweet gal. :)

Kelly, at this point, seems like somebody whom might end up being my #1 in this game. She's the only one that I've even slightly spoken game with, and she seems to bare a lot of similarities to myself. :)

Max seems quite intense and serious -- quite possibly my least favorite of this tribe thus far (discounting Shirin.) I do like him, but he's in the least of my thoughts thus far strategically.

Joaquin arrived to the chatter slightly late, but damn -- this is one chill guy, hah! Gotta love Joaquin. :)

Shirin hasn't even come online yet, which is very disappointing. Kelly immediately said that she wants Shirin out first, which didn't surprise me in the slightest, seeing Shirin's supposed inability to even interact with the simplest of person..."

Confessional 7 Day 1

"My strategy coming into this game is simple -- just let my hair down, roll with the punches and hopefully rock this baby up! I will try to play the 'Golden Boy' card, but secretly, I'm a deadbeat strategist."

Confessional 8 Day 1

"I believe that my rep. does fit me well. Deep down, I am a very nice guy, just like Joe is -- however, unlike Joe, I am willing to lie, cheat and steal. I know how cheesy that is, but it's just how I am. I believe that it will slightly effect my gameplay, yes -- I think it'll help me play the Golden Boy card better! :) "

Confessional 9 Day 1

"The leader twist is certainly one to marvel at!!! It's very interesting but it doesn't at all change my strategy, as my strategy is very loose and 'go with the flow' anyways. In fact, this twist perfectly fits my strategy. :)"

Confessional 10 Day 1

"So, for the leader vote, it appears that it's between So and Kelly. Woot! I got out of that one fast! Kelly is slightly anxious that she will be picked, whilst So seems entirely up to it. I'm quite possibly going to vote for So due to Kelly's anxiety, but it'll all depend on what Kelly thinks as she's my main ally at this point in the game. :) So seems really sweet as well though, so I don't want to leave her out of any 'main ally' loop, hehe."

hehe :)

You seem like you're having fun, Joe! Keep it up!

Confessional 11 Day 1

"Shirin has been an 'interesting case' thus far. She's making everyone very upset and depressed, as she is very hateful of herself. Now, coming into this game, my motto is: be ready to lie, cheat and steal, but be ready to STOP bullying, harassment and negative feelings that people might feel from this game.

I feel awful for Shirin and I just want to comfort her if what she's apparently saying to everyone is true... I feel really dreadful for wanting her out now. I guess I should probably try talking to her. :/"

Awe, thanks Sarah, xx

Confessional 12 Day 1

"It's the moment of truth! The leader vote is just about to commence... Hopin' to slay this vote and have my main gal Kelly become the leader! :) she said that she'd throw a vote at So or I, so that's super rad! Really excited to see how this turns out!"

Confessional 13 Day 1

"Leader vote just went down, and it was fairly interesting! It began with a 3-3-1-1-1 tie between So and Kelly, but on the revote, So became our official leader and I honestly can't complain as I really love both girls. However... Rather quickly, she had to make an important decision -- in public, right in front of everyone -- she had to choose one person to give an Immunity Idol to. She chose herself with the promise that she'll play it at the first tribal-council she attends. Do I think that's a good plan? Yes. Do I think she'll actually follow throw with it? Probably not. So is smart and very strategic; I doubt she'll throw away an idol on the first tribal like that... However, at the same time, it can be seen as an unnecessary target to have on someone's back, so if she does go through with her promise, I wouldn't necessarily be surprised or perplexed."

Confessional 14 Day 1

"Starting this game, I very quickly realized what Stranded was all about -- social-game. It's all about how you interact with others and how others view you, and thus far, I think I'm fairly well-liked by everyone. :) Shirin and Kelly seem to be very into my luscious Joe-hair, and so does So, slightly! Haha, but for real, my best friends as of now are Kelly, So and Dan. I would love to form some sort of majority with those people.

Kelly, as a superfan, is obviously very hesitant to get into the game and get into an alliance, and y'know what: I can't blame the girl! This game is going to move fast, so I certainly think it's a smart plan to get into some sort of alliance. c;

Shirin is actually very sweet and likable in my eyes. Gonna try to work my 'Joey Amazing' charm on her, haha! I honestly don't want to see her out first at this point."

Confessional 15 Day 1

"Crazy days, crazy days, crazy days... AGH! This is so stressful!! xD

So, randomly, Dan came up to me with the plot to make a core alliance consisting of him, Joaquin and I, and also having Sierra and So as 'extra numbers', thus forming a majority. Naturally, I ran to my main ally Kelly and told her, as she wasn't included in this plot and if I have an alliance, Kelly needs to be involved for me.

She seemed nervous about Dan, but I reassured her that I'd make SURE that she'd get into that alliance. someway or another... And someone, through the forces of persuasion and manipulation, I got her in the alliance! Woohoo! However, unfortunately, Dan then wanted to replace So with her, and So is my #2 in this game, just after Kelly. Obviously, this really irritated me. It felt like popping a boil just to have another boil appear right on your nose.

However, I managed to convince him to also contain So as a 6th in the alliance, leaving Shirin and Max on the outs. Whew! What a strenuous day of work, right out in Stranded!!! This completely proved to me how insane in the membrane this game is, but I absolutely adore it."

'Leaving Shiring, Max AND JENN on the outs.', sorry.

Confessional 16 Day 1

"Kel and I are sitting very, very pretty as far as we know.

From what I've heard, we're the Belles of the Ball right now -- literally everybody, excuse a couple of people, want an alliance involving us two. xD it's crazy, but hey -- I 'aint gonna deny it, I do enjoy this attention.

It's making poor Kel paranoid, though. I've tried to reassure her but, I suppose paranoia is a natural weakness when it comes to Kelly. :/ it's a shame, but I still really like her and I will try my best to help keep her mentally stable in this game."

Confessional 17 Day 1

"My relationship with Dan thus far has been an interesting one. We're like brothers. No, literally, we're like brothers. At one moment I don't like him and I wanna pull his hair and gouge his eyes out, and then other times wanna fistbump him, drink some wine with him and watch MMA with him.

I would say overall I do like the guy, but he is very strategic, so getting in his good graces would be a good strategy at this point, just to assure that the guy doesn't randomly pull out some magic token of elimination out of his back-pocket and blindside me... He does seem to like me, though... I think, at least?

Kelly has been very into 'blindsiding Dan' which has irritated me. Sure, I kinda want Dan out in a few rounds but now is way, way, way too soon. I do love Kelly but, she's starting to make me nervous now. Could just be a miscommunication of some kind, but I do feel like I've ticked her off in some way. However, I'm still trying to get her as much support as possible so that we can keep this deal that we have together runnin'. :)"

Confessional 18 Day 1

"Treemail today basically said, 'I hope you practiced'. Very original, Jeff - very original.

So, I'm assuming that it's a puzzle -- specifically similar to the one that we practiced on pre-game. Fortunately, I learnt how to do that puzzle quite quickly, so I'm hoping that my efforts to not flop will be fulfilled in a couple of days when we get to the challenge. I've heard that Kelly is insanely good at these puzzles, and Jenn is no slouch, so that's a plus!!! #TeamHazmatAsmats :)"

I am LOVING this confessional style. Keep it up!

Do you think Asmat's puzzle assembly strength will...... eat Yali alive?
