Confessional

[Natalie Portman]

So I apparently need one of these to do well in this game. No matter, I'm used to writing them anyway.

All right, so I came into this game choosing Natalie Portman because she's fierce. I love her. Fashion really isn't my forte, but I thought I'd give this game a shot anyway.

The first reward challenge involved pushing people off of a platform, so I thought I'd try and stay under the radar. In doing so, I didn't really talk to anyone. I just sorta picked someone at random and hoped that I'd win. I didn't but it definitely showed the true colors of a contestant in the game- Camilla. Not only did she push me, but she sent me a friendly PM during the challenge! I just think it's extremely two-faced to be all buddy-buddy, then eliminate someone in the challenge. So I don't like Camilla. Unfortunately, this isn't a strategy game, so I can't do anything to harm her.

Then, the first photoshoot was announced, and we had to do something with Nature. I saw the picture that I posted on google and immediately thought of air. I don't know why, but that's just what the picture reminded me of. I whipped up a few reasons as why I saw it as airy. I got mixed results from the judges. Some didn't like it, some thought it was okay, and some really liked it. I understood. I took a risk and was okay with that. While I placed low, I placed higher than the only other girl that tried air, so I get a two point bonus this round! My goal is to get more than 18 raw points this round, since I want to improve!

My thoughts on this week are to focus on a summery look for July, as well as use colors that focus around the month's birthstone- Ruby. I was surprised that July wasn't already picked for that reason, but I'm gonna take it!

So, I wish there were some round where we'd get to vote. I think that everyone would vote out Camilla. Not only is she totally a fake beyotch, but she's one of the biggest threats in the game.

I can definitely see myself being the bottom 2 for this round. I don't think I'll be out, but I'll probably place low. This just really isn't my game, but I'm having a lot of fun and definitely want to keep playing!!

[Natalie Portman]

I'm sorta thinking that I'll be safe this week after Amanda's comment. For the most part, the judges have been on the same page, and if not, Amanda's usually the most critical of the judges. Therefore, if I've impressed her than I've done well! I still would love to be the first call-out, and show these girls that I'm here to win. I just feel like I haven't gotten into the upper placements yet, but I'm working hard each week to find the best possible photo. I know I can get there!

[Natalie Portman]

I know my confessionals are super lame and boring, but I'm going to request some tips as to what to write about in here! In my survivor confessionals, I normally just talk about gameplay, and there's none of that here, so I just don't know what to say!

As for this round- I'm nervous. I have always been bad with decade day in high school and costume parties and whatnot. The only thing I have going for me is my two point bonus from last week. So now I either have to hope that no one will write a confessional, or that some people really sucked in their photos. I'd be a bit more confident if there weren't two models going to redemption this week. If, however, the weakest link, Ziyi, goes to redemption, I'm fairly confident I can beat her and either Sandra or Amber. So... yeah. I hope I survive! I really like this game

[Amanda Kimmel]

Well as someone who's read a bunch of your Survivor confessionals (and that I know how you operate), let me offer a few pointers:

1. Sometimes it's good to post what's going through your head when you choose a picture. That's sort of the "gameplay" here.
2. Are you talking to any of the other models at all? Perhaps you can tell us what you think of them.
3. And as usual, Amanda has questions!

What do you think of Amber? I don't like her

What makes you think you can beat Ziyi and Sandra/Amber should you go to Redemption, even when you don't know the theme?


...yeah I'm trying. I know there's not much to write about, and this game is nowhere near as exciting as Namibia was...

Amber

I think she's a heartless bitch. She was so mean to Sandra, though Sandra didn't have to say that Amber's picture sucked. There are better words to use than "sucks" in almost any instance, especially when giving criticism. However, Amber should have laid off.

And I think that I've been overall a stronger competitor than the girls I listed. Though if it's something like this week again, I suppose I could be out. We'll see.

[Brody Jenner]

Who do you consider your main competition in the game?

(edited for spelling)

[Natalie Portman]

I would say Camilla and Lea are the strongest competitors overall.

[Natalie Portman]

Phew. I barely survived last week. I've been in the last callout a few times now, so I feel as though I'm the weakest competitor. I definitely plan on bringing my A-Game this week- and hope to top my smizing photo. I'll be working hard!

[Natalie Portman]

Taylor picked a MICROPHONE for her prop?

Let's not be too creative now, Taylor!

Taylor holding a microphone is like Amber holding a grudge...

Better?

[Amanda Kimmel]

It is not nice to talk bad about the dead...

[Natalie Portman]

Edited. Zeugma in there, too!
