I never expected Endure to stick together with these 5. Honestly, the other 4 I can see why they'd want to stick together with how they play, but Tom would do much better distancing himself from them.

Josh is Tom's chance to distance himself and have a fair shot at running the gauntlet early on.

How is Jordan playing too hard? In his confessionals all I've heard is he's laying low. He did do Bryce's bidding and say the vote went to Albee. If I put this together, I think Bryce has basically used Jordan as his scapegoat to put all of the attention on him. That or I'm an idiot and he's playing too hard. I feel bad for Jordan. But there's no way to learn other than to refine your gameplay. 

This is coming from me, who obviously knows what I'm talking about, because I've definitely played loads of ORGs.

Definitely more than one.

I'm definitely not just saying shit and hoping it makes sense.

Totally.

Also, Elise has said that nobody is campaigning...
errr earth to Elise
Albee's name has been thrown out. And you haven't heard.
Probably because you're on vacation but w/e.

Elise soured on me a bit after reading that first confessional. But it's still too early to judge. I don't know if people are really playing yet or not, from the looks of a few of the confessionals people are starting to pick it up, and if Elise doesn't know what's going on I reckon she'll be left in the dust, or have to rely on past chronicle relationships to help her catch up to speed.

Especially her past chronicles relationship with Jacob, who is totally in the game.

Whoa. Where did you get all that from my simple two sentences? I didn't mention anyone other than Tom specifically. I've hosted all five of them, I have seen *most* of them play other ORGs as well, so based on how they normally play, I was saying that I can see the other four sticking with Endure, but I think Tom would do better to distance. 

I didn't say anything about Jordan playing too hard, although other people did and honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he was to an extent, not that he is. 

Bryce always overthinks things. But he can usually push it off on others for awhile, until he finally gets called out on it (ex: weasel hunting tribal in Endure S1). He flip flops a lot. He likes to play the middle. Same with Yap, he likes being the "monkey in the middle" and lays low until it's too late to make a move. 

Jack plays too loyal. That he gets taken out because of it. 

Jordan has only played the one ORG, so based off that he played way too hard too fast. But maybe he's trying to tame it a bit this time, I don't know, I haven't seen but based on other's comments it doesn't look that way. 

Side note since I was gone- I love this cast, and I think it'll be a great season! Some of my favorites are obviously the endure kids (HELLO BIAS)! Derek, and the bearded brothers. I also like Kate and Navneet based on their interviews from Endure, but haven't watched any of the cast reveal videos for them. oops.

in bryce's confessional, he was talking about playing this game more aggressive and i get if he thinks albee is coming after him but hopefully he can find some kind of balance. i like josh , he seems be getting an alliance and talking to everyone and tryying to be in good with alot of people. i like him posting alot of confessionals b/c i do that too. josh is down to earth and less game botty than i would have throught from first impression. i can see myself aligning with him. him and tom could be a good match and could be a formidable twosome
