1. I think we all had a feeling that a swap was coming. I knew there were pretty much three options: being put on a tribe with a Miombo majority, an even split, and a Miombo minority. Honestly, my biggest fear was that I'd get put on a tribe with Lauren, just because I knew she was telling people that I had shared a clue to the idol with her, and I was worried about the damage that could do to my game.

2. When I saw that Karishma, Elizabeth, and I were all put on a tribe together, my first thought was "this could not have gone better." Elizabeth and I had spoken just before the swap - we both said we were good with each other. And I had always gotten along well with Karishma because she's so hilarious, even though we never really talked game. And the hope was that the three coming from Nyiri might have been split, since they just had to vote someone out. And then the shenanigans began...

3. All of a sudden, the whispering starts. No one is whispering to me. I'm watching my former tribe talk to each other. And then Elizabeth whispers VERY AUDIBLY that she doesn't want to be "alone with Karishma". My stomach drops. In this moment, I realize that I'm nothing to my former tribe. They either must think that I'm going to be the first person to target OR I'm so strategically insignificant to them that I don't even register at this point. So I'm seeing Missy and Chelsea encourage her to come over, Tommy is telling her to keep bidding. Maybe it's really all to get away from Karishma, maybe it has nothing to with me, but I can't help but feel that I've been left completely high and dry.

4. I didn't have any Coins, so I knew I wasn't going to win the auction. But I also didn't want to go anywhere. Even with the 4-2 ratio of former Nyiri and Miombo, I felt like sure, I might be in a bad spot, but I'm also with a bunch of people who don't know my game so far and I am desperate for a restart. I didn't do a great job of getting out of the gate, I was left out of whatever alliance Miombo put together. And now, my goal is to get to know my new tribe and to prove to them that I can be a good asset for their game. Time to bring out the Jack charm!
