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 icon_yes . 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.

Shit will start getting real soon enough, the getting-to-know-you phase can be tedious, but necessary.

Oh it's getting there. I'm the mother darling of the tribe. Hopefully not the mommy dearest. That never ends well. I'd tell you to ask Missy, but she doesn't seem to be around.

I was called the mamma bear. That's fine. It's the next best thing to Jac's deciding to step up and be the leader. I just can't be the Laura Morett Mamma bear. No.

This #final9 thing is interesting. Almost as funny as #bingobango. John Rocker, honey, what's going on?

But I really am actually trying this whole "go team" schtick. It's not typically me, but when in Indonesia, don't be a straight up asshole. Life's tough like that.

I suppose, in short, my strategy for the first part will be to see things that people like or are also pretending to like and say "yes that, so that!" untill I can get some side-eye with some other eye roller. Twos can make trouble.

So before you go, give us a long rundown of everything that happened today and how you think your first day went and what your chances are :) I need more Val in my life.

Today.. phew, It was the "Nice Off." And let me tell you I'm sweating and I still don't think I'm winning!

My chances, they are alright and I think I've got a relatively solid group of four and a fifth that I really like, but honestly I don't even think liking someone is a great criteria. Like I said, everyone is nice.

It's the beginning so that's kinda understandable, but I'm gushing about everyone so hard I can see my breakfast from yesterday!

Reed is super sweet and it seems very natural from him. With that and his self-described naivety, mmmm that's dangerous. Right now, I want to believe him, because I know he could be a great ally. BUT, I don't want to believe anybody, period. How do you do that?!

Whatever, though, Missy is over there always talking about cookies and she'll be a shoe in for a finalist, smh. Missy, Keith, and Dale walking in at the 11th hour is helpful when dealing with all these talkers, but it sure is interesting gameplay on their part.

I'm going to put my foot in my mouth. But I love you all #final9 #bingobango #gnight.

I'm not saying I'm not interested.

Speaking of mamma's and papa's, I don't know how I feel with Missy here. I reached out to her. I worry about her because she is what I am, but I think way more overtly. Either way I'm going to extend the olive branch. I think I want her gone sooner than later, but I am not really gonna make a fuss of it... yet.

People like you can be seen as kin, or competition for a coveted spot.

I am way too ahead of myself. She is too cute, as they say, and I don't like too cute.

Does anybody talk as much as me? You guys are like my therapists at this point, and it feels so right.

Thought of the Moment:
Keith here is Keith in real life. Isn't that against the rule?

I basically just created a majority alliance. I hope they wrote that down.
We a family, and family needs to stick together. However, you always have to remember that mamma's always right.

Seriously. Nah, phew. What was that? I hope their team leader decided to keep her immunity.
Asmat a first boot.

When the after shock of that way too close challenge (still happy don't you dare get me wrong), I'm a little concerned about Rocker. He shone not only in the organizational bit during the challenge, but he's flirting with the other side. I don't mind giving 'em a gg, cuz yeah, I realize if I make it further in the game that I'll eventually have to mingle with them, but not like that. He's getting some foreplay with them, but he's doing it in front of all us. But the tribe really appreciates him and not for no reason.

Oddly enough, he's kinda naturally played naive while being ingratiating. That was Reed's thing, I thought.

I sound like a bitter Betty, but I like my tribe. They cute af, and they seem actually pretty humble. Reed's really growing on me and the less I believe what he does is an act. If it is, then kudos. He's got me pretty good.

Drew is also great. He's kinda like Rocker, but he's much more delicate and it doesn't read as overtly as Rocker. And that's only to Drew's benefit. I'd want Rocker out before I'd want Drew out, and that could be to my detriment.

I'm all ahead of myself. Mamma needa chill a bit. Living in the now, I appreciate we can get some R&R tomorrow... but I don't want my damn children making extended families while we wait!

Dale wrote:Same with you Val. :)

We haven't really talked much, how are you feeling about the others on our tribe? Any bad vibes?


Well, well, well! Dale's the first one to get clever, at least with me! Asking about bad vibes before we even have a tribal council. I hope, for his sake, he's not doing that with anyone else. Uh uh, bad timing, boo.

Oooh, he threw Jon's name out... sorta. Hooonney, either way and anyhow that works for me. Because if John doesn't work out, though it would be nice, Dale could hopefully shoot himself in the foot.
