I'm feeling pretty confident right now. I can't gather too much information about anyone just yet, but I can see I'll be able to use my background & past experiences to find something in common with everyone. Right now, the name of my game is bonding. Find something I have in common with each member of my tribe and work it. Between cooking their meals and mentally logging information, I should have an inside advantage by Day 3. Free ride through the first TC for me.

Setting up camp will be hard work. I'll keep my eye out for someone who slacks off and throw their name out in a conversation or two with other tribemates, so when I hear that the plan is to vote them off, I can say, "Oh, that's a good idea, ."

I'm so ready for this game to start! I want to meet the people I'll be living with for the next... well, depends on how long their torch stays lit, doesn't it? I'm not going anywhere yet.

This is a mental challenge unlike anything I've ever endured. Going head-to-head against 15 other people will be a true test. I'm good. I know I am. But am I better than they are? I guess we'll know in 39 days.

I'll be the nice, honorable meal provider for my team. I'll smile and chat when anyone wants to talk. If someone needs encouragement or finds themselves down, I'll be there to help out. And when they find that their game is, in part, emotionally dependent upon me, it won't be my fault.

I haven't talked myself into thinking this game will be easy, by any means. Something is bound to come up that ends up hurting my status in the game... twists, or plain circumstance, who knows. My victory will depend not on the 15 other people in the game, but how well I adapt to the dangers they pose to me.
