This tribe is a mess right now, the idol situation flipped this entire tribe upside down which have lead to several events!
So when the Viveros Tribe wins immunity, they received the first idol clue, which were followed by a series of mistakes. Mistake #1, somebody came up with the bright idea of searching for the idol as a tribe. There is only one idol, searching an idol as a tribe can go very wrong because there will always be multiple people that want it. Mistake #2, the way the idol was set up - it was very out there to exposure of anyone with/looking for it. (They publicly had to post a poem in the Skype chat that was meant to alert the rest they are in an idol search) Mistake #3, The tribe agrees (or more like, no one opposed) to giving Ahmae the idol. Mistale #4, Adam decides that it was smart to secretly take the idol and no one would notice. Taking the idol wasn't a bad call, trying to hide such a public hunt definitely was.
Now I'll talk about each castaway individually.
Adam - Dumb, Dumb, Dumb move to not be open about having the idol. In a group of 6 people, there is only so long you can hide something like that. Not only that, but the way the idol was set up to where you have to do tasks that would expose you to your tribe-mates, he totally didn't think it through. He pissed off every one in his tribe with the exception of Don who has no idea what was going on. His tribe already knew it was him 5 minutes after he dropped the call. It also didn't help him that the rest of his tribe-mates decided to step down and let Ahmae get it. But one of the steps for the hunt was to post a video dancing in their confessional so it was very easy for his tribe to see his posts go up. His tribe now doesn't trust him and tell each other every single thing he tells them. His days are numbered, I'd say.
Ahmae - She's still in a leader position within her tribe. A big reason to her position is due to the entire tribe being very anti-adam right now. I don't think she's playing the game very strategic, she's very out there and should be seen as a huge target. I expect her to leave pre or early merge.
Caleb - I think Caleb is playing a very smart game right now he is very aware of how threatening Ahmae and Christen are. He's very underestimated and he'll come out of nowhere to get them.
Christen - Probably playing the best game within her tribe right now. She's very observant and smart. I think she should hide that side of her a bit more instead of letting her tribe know of it.
Don - More than likely would be the first person out of his tribe if they went to tribal. He is very unaware of his surroundings and I don't really blame him, it's his first ORG. He should really branch out though and not use Ahmae as his main source of information.
Trevor - What I don't think Trevor realizes is that he would've been first boot had Adam's idol thing not happened! I think him being quiet will help him now within the chaos. I'll like to see how he reacts to knowing Ahmae's connections.

La Mina just came from a tribal council, unanimously voting Clayton for doing the least in his tribe. I'm not going to speak about the tribe individually because there's is nothing really as standouts as individuals. During the first round, Lee, Dayle & David made an alliance. If this tribe loses immunity again, which is very likely, I can see those three sticking together which leaves Taylor and Jake on the outs. My guess is that Jake would go next from this tribe simply because he hasn't connected with people as well.

The Casaya Tribe is probably strongest tribe i'd say. Everyone in this tribe is pretty active now. Ryan has picked up his game and has started to make social connections with his tribe. It may be too little too late though because he is trying to make Billy his number one, but Billy may already be solidified with Aj and Ricky. I think if this tribe goes to tribal, we will see Alex or Ryan go home. AJ is going for Alex because he'd have more connections than Ryan in the game, which is smart. But Ryan would probably try to target Ricky which may end up getting him voted out!

Finally caught up on confessionals, besides Christen because I can't hear what she is saying whatsoever even with my volume at the highest level.
First off, sad to see Clayton go, he is a really great guy, he is sweetheart, he is a dedicated player but he had to go considering how little he helped and his bonds were not all that solid. But it's sad to see someone whom I hosted on their first game go so early, and especially when I know he could have offered a lot.
I'm a huge huge fan of Viveros as a tribe, actually. I think they have a really interesting dynamic and I am especially fond of Caleb which is weird cause he is a child and I could be arrested for saying that. But, with that said, I think he has a really solid grasp on the game and a great read on his tribe which is impressive for a player who is not only young but inexperienced. I am hoping he won't be in trouble soon though. I am loving the Adam/Ahmae conflict as well, it's pretty one sided so far but I like how both are conscious of where they stand, and what is happening, and they are both super active. Viveros winning forever so we can keep those two would be the best case scenario tbh.
La Mina is worth it basically because of David who is perfect. I know Jake has a lot of fans, but I have yet to see anything solid from him...? I'm not a huge fan of Dayle personally, and I would love to see her go so that all the people she is connected with don't get to rely on her [especially since she is the least interesting from all those connections] but then she is aligned with David so that's conflicting. Lee is great too, and in a great position which is exciting, and I cannot wait until he starts the drama.
Finally Casaya is super mellow, I do enjoy the personalities there and I am PRAYING Alex is the first boot because both Aman and Ryan seem to be getting really into it, and have that strategic mind where they could have an impact in the game. I do like the alliance of three with Ricky/AJ/Billy and I really hope everyone who Ricky knows gets voted out soon so that we can see him play with these new people instead.
In conclusion: Casaya can lose Alex, and La Mina can lose a few times as long as the boots are not Lee/David. Viveros stay intact plz.

The difference between someone being actually funny and someone trying really hard to be funny is very visible with Jake and Dayle. Jake just makes confessionals where he is just quirky and it's funny because it's genuine and relatable. Dayle says things like "I'M DRUNK AND PISSED, DRUNK DAYLE IS GONNA GET THIS IDOL!" which she assumes is gonna make us be like LULZ SHE IS SO QUIRLY AND FUN-DRUNK, YOU GO GURL! But IMO it's like, you are trying too hard. Maaaaybe if you weren't "drunk" (I doubt she is drunk, I think a lot of people in these games say they are drunk so people can think they are cool) you would have done better at the challenge.

Adam is great, I love the way he is thinking and how aware he is of his position in the tribe. I am really hoping that he gets to idol out Trevor even though the votes seem to be splitting between Don/Adam which means that Don will go which is gonna suck since he is a great dude, who has put a lot of effort into the game and then Adam will be in a very bad position. Trevor out of everyone in the tribe, I feel he has the less to offer, so I'm hoping he can go somehow.
I do like Christen a lot, she is very good at playing that background role while pulling strings. She is smart using Ahmae as a shield, and I definitely see her going really far even with a swap. She is outstanding at the social game, she has a good read of the situation, and at this point the only thing that could screw her could be her past connections, or being swapped in a tribe only with Adam. Out of the girls, I think she is the only one with a shot to win (though I love Ahmae and hope she can go far).

i so forget to look in here so i guess ill say something. i love jake and i am gonna cry if he leaves tonight! i hope he goes to lee and david and tries to get those votes somehow. taylor should be leaving, she didnt even show up and i understand she was out for her bday but this game just started and that is who should be leaving. not too mention i am down for any of ahmae and dayles connections leaving. lighting prayer candles for jake!
ok. i agree with carlos that adam shouldve told them or at least christen about the idol but i also get where he is coming from with these people already being connected. i think after ahmae and don made it known to him that they had an outside connection thats when adam was over it. there is no telling what adam will say or do in this tribal tonight lol it should be very interesting. he will def leave next after this if he cant somehow explain himself and turn things around which sucks cause it would be nice to see someone playing that is aware of ahmae and her 64378265932 connections in here. im annoyed that trevor isnt more aware after adam went to him about all this and then trevor confronted ahmae and she pretty much confirmed everything adam said to him and added even more connections she has lol how that isnt a red flag for trevor is beyond me. and no way in hell was adam gonna hand over an idol. thankfully he isnt an idiot. hopefully he somehow stays long or i see this game going in one direction and we need someone to mix this up. im hoping a tribe swap is coming which it very well could with these small tribes.
i like the guys tribe fine but idk it is what it is. they are good at challenges of course and im sure it will continue that way. i like aj a lot, he is very likable i can see him going really far. i like their little aj billy ricky thing they have going on. should be interesting to see what happens with them after a swap or merge.
the other tribe hmm i like dayle, she hasnt bothered me yet but i just watched lees dr and thats insane that shes telling him she has so many outside connections lol lee will tell everyone the second he needs to and that will be funny. i forgot i already talked about this tribe a little hmmm i forget cause they dont say very much i guess. im ready for a mix up.
oo and yall can all go ahead and shut up. i hate typing on my laptop and no i dont waste my time adding ' when i need to. <3

Quick thoughts on the two people voted off before we make a new thread for round 3!
Jake- So sad Jake left because he was such a great character but Jake really didn't play a great social game. He was their strongest player in challenges but socially wise, he never attempted to make a alliance. A week into the game, you should have some sort of alliance or allies. Still really sad he left, just wished he had played harder!
Donovan- Don was also a great character who really just screwed. An majority alliance was really formed right after Adam found the idol, and he just happened to be offline at the moment. He really didn't do anything wrong and was basically idoled out. He could've been a strong player if he made it past the tribal.
