Welcome back!

So good to see you in Stranded again, how are you feeling being back? Your thoughts on the cast?

What did you think about the pick'em, did it reveal anything? Your thoughts on the Refuge twist and how to play it?

Omg hi Jeff!

Let me just say this season looks so amazing. Im so so excited to be back playing again, I had so much fun last season and I cant wait to rock and roll again!

I honestly have no idea who anybody really is at all. I'd like to say I have no clue why Daniel is back to be honest. BUT having said that hes preferable to some other cast choices who would be coming for my blood. A lack of Greece players should bode well for me really, because people who dont know who I operate will mean they hopefully underestimate me, which is definitely what I am going for.

In terms of my approach to the game. Why change a winning formula am I right? Im sure you're all looking forward to more impending Pennyownage and hopefully I can bring it about here. My tactics will be similar. Stay out of the way and let the tribe chief do whatever he/she likes pre-merge. Ill be the social butterfly and work on my niceties while somebody else hopefully puts me in an alliance.

When we hit the merge is when ill start with the strategy. Nobody gives a shit about the pre-merge, so I wont risk putting a target on my back now by doing stupid shit. As per last season, ill take to trash talking the other tribe as much as possible while being a nice loveable airhead to my own tribe <3

Cast wise im happy with the people over here. Before this started my biggest worry was that I'd get put with too many people that saw first hand how I played last season and would vote me out for being too much of a bitch. Realistically I dont think I bring anything to this tribe. I suck at challenges and all I am really good for is fucking everybody up when we hit the merge. If I was playing against me I'd vote me out first, and I know people like Helen or Ted who are both All Star worthy players from my own season would be thinking that too. Daniel I think is pretty reliant on me at this point, hes keen to improve on his result in Greece and knows that I can take him there. Lisi and myself have a pretty good relationship established already, but I wouldnt really care if somebody wanted to vote her out.

Im glad I am not here with Brenda, Taj or anybody else who saw me either really. This is a perfect balance, nobody really knows much about me at all. Its perfect for my strategy since I can play up again <3

I still dont get the Refugee thing and I cant be bothered reading the same thing and trying to understand it. Ill just wait until something happens.

So many fucking PMs that I cant even keep up. I dont even know what I am saying because when I reply there are another 2 in my Inbox.

Can one of you just sum up what I have said to people so I dont fuck up? Thanks.

Oh god make it stop!

Everybody is just so quick to jump on alliances. Its crazy!

What I am hearing so far is that Lisi and myself are pretty tight as are Daniel and myself. Ill bring the three of us together shortly.

Lisi likes Yul and I must say I agree. From the sounds of things, is really good at challenges but has no idea about the social components of the game. UM PERFECT! I love those players.

In a tribe of 10 I feel we need at least a 5 strong alliance. At the moment I like Mike as well, I feel like we have a good twosome going.

Parvati is the supposed first target. Lisi and Daniel are both having bad vibes about her. Honestly I dont give a shit who goes first as long as I dont go first.

Wow im in the middle of everything at the moment. Again.

Here is what is supposedly going down.

One foursome was: Penny+Daniel+Lisi+Yul with potentially Mike as the floater.

Parvati is now pushing for a girls alliance with Penny+Parvati+Katie+Cristina as the crux of that. With Natalie potentially involved too.

Im trying to think what will be best for me. At the first vote I should try (although not too hardly) to get somebody who isnt involved in either alliance eliminated. It gives me options down the road. But again, I dont want to create too big a target on my back at this point. Im happy to just do whatever sounds best for me and that will be the alliance that I feel the safest in.

This is without a doubt the craziest day I have ever been through. Nothing in Greece even comes close to the madness that has been going on.

Ive got like 120 PMs in one day. Its completely unbelievable. For a moment I thought I was getting in over my head, then I thought nahhhh, this is all probably my fault anyway.

Penny back to her old tricks! No season of Stranded will ever be the same again. Sorry for ruining your franchise in advance Jeff.

Im so winning this shit right now!

So there is an influx of PMs again, alot of people offering me deals which of course ill accept. The key is keeping my options open, especially with this revolving door bullshit refuge thing which I assume means players will end up swapping with each other throughout the game. That twist can die, I need all my alliance members here. So I am PMing Paloma and trying to keep her from taking any of my alliance.

Daniel is a blessing in disguise in my opinion. Not only has he accepted me with open arms, but he is actively increasing his strategic game in an effort to compensate for last season I think. I really love this. Daniel is putting me in a number of deals, which is fine, because if it works out, ill just go along for the ride, and if it doesnt, I can always ditch.

Parvati from all reports, is a goner. I dont even know her and of course, a first boot always sucks. But at this point, I just want to assimilate myself into the majority of misfits we have going here at the moment and pick and choose the very best ones.

Detailed cast review coming shortly before I go to bed.

So I keep forgetting the name of this tribe. Its such a rando name, but at least you cant really poke much fun at the name. Anyway, it'll be known as Tribe Penny+friends from now on.

Cast Assessment so far...

Cristina: Shes so blah. I havent really gotten much from her at all. Shes pretty lousy in the PM department, she opened a convo with me and then took like 20 minutes to reply earlier today, by which point I'd forgotten what I said to her in the first place and my follow up messages probably didnt make sense. Shes supposed to be at least ok at the challenges, so she probably is heaps better than me. Lolawks. But oh well, shes in the minority from all reports and will probably end up getting booted pre-merge.

Daniel: Hes really working it at the moment. Pushing a bit of strategy and I like it, because it means I can hopefully scoot by without anybody paying attention to poor old Penny. Some people might be annoyed at Dan for putting their name up in a bunch of alliances, but honestly, who cares? Daniel is setting up my alliances without me having to do any work. I mean does it get much better than that? If the alliance fails or gets owned, I just bail and say Daniel put me in the alliance and I didnt even know. If it prospers, im in a majority alliance and I didnt even do anything.

Ian: I actually cant really place Ian at the moment. Hes a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, hes a bit of a doofus, and I get that vibe by the way he PMs. He just doesnt seem very switched on or actively involved. On the other hand, his results in Stranded seem impressive, so I know he has game, which means hes hiding it from me, which means hes being suspicious, which means I shouldnt trust him. Anyway you guys know how it works? Hang on to the shady mo fucka until I can afford to boot him.

Katie: I really like Katie, just because we spent so long talking shit today and then Parvati tried to get us in her all female bitch whore alliance and we totes just PMd each other after it and were like "Ummmmmmmm no thanks!" so now we are actively planning her assassination behind the scenes. I really would love to work with Katie long term. Shes an older player, so knows a bit, but old enough to not know much about me, meaning I can essentially approach her the same way I approached Erin in Greece.

Lisi: Its good to have somebody I can team up with and not worry about. But Lisi is so annoying and so monstrously ugly that I feel its good for the game for me to blindside this bitch eventually. Shes very dominating, perhaps because she feels that ill just naturally do whatever she says because we know each other from Aussie Stranded and all that crazy shit. But thats not how Penny works folks, I feel it is my duty to represent the masses, the people that arent playing the game. I want to bring the craziness and the batshit level of craziness that I brought to Greece. While ill definitely hold on to Lisi for as long as I can, I wont be taking her to the Finals, ill be blindsiding her ugly arse and sending her to the Jury, where she will vote for me to win and ill be the back to back champ. Yeah boi!

Mike: I like Mike as well, just because he seems very genuine and is interested in stuff outside the regular strategy talk which is refreshing sometimes. I think he can be trusted, because he seems to just want an ally and I promised I would look after him. After telling him that I spilled the beans on Parvati's all girl whore alliance and now he loves me. <333

Natalie: Hasnt really been here that much. She won though apparently, which means ill just vote her out because I am threatened by her winningness.

Parvati: This bitch is a hot mess, but I do love her. I have enjoyed my conversations with her so far. I think she actively believes in me that I will uphold our agreement, which of course I probably wont. As much as I'd be interested in working with her, the reputation she has built for herself precedes her, and she is supposedly a cold hearted ruthless slurry whore, so I am thinking I might play it safe with Dan and Katie instead. Sorry girl. You are saaa hawt though.

Penny: I love myself clearly. While I would write a detailed cast assessment on myself, I am unfortunately limited to 60,000 characters, which isnt nearly enough.

Yul: I have an alliance with him apparently. But I dont really know much about him, all I have heard is that he is the challenge god. Which means ill just wait until the Tribal Council before the merge before perhaps gloriously blindsiding his arse and sending him packing. On the other hand, he seems pretty nice and is actually in my crazy alliance of 6 which involves Myself+Daniel+Katie+Ian+Lisi+Yul in some crazy pecking order depending on who you talk to obviously.

So thats it!

Love skipping the counting challenge! <3

Although we're going to lose I can tell. Too far behind.
