Counting fail
Kim has yet to show. Let's look at the rest so far;
Jolanda - Wow, this girl is full-on, popping alliance proposals in first PMs, the most frequent confessor so far too. I get the impression she's a bit of a control freak. She'd like Ibe as her #1 with a larger alliance growing to Gregg, then Caryn, and Tom kept as a fifth - not really included in the alliance, but there enough to make sure they get their way at the first vote, even though they originally slated the leader to be someone outside their alliance for an easy scapegoat, it's kinda evolving around them.
Tom - Don't let his "reluctant leader" bit fool you, he was campaigning for that slot subtly even if he didn't mean to. Laying out that no, we cannot have an inactive, dropping the noble qualities he'd like to see in a leader, then slowly easing himself into it. Now that he landed it, he has a good head on his shoulders about how to use it to his advantage and avoid making himself a target for it. Tom will be solid, and has already avoided the original "leader as scapegoat" plan I reckon.
Ibrehem - Not too much of an impression on him yet. Pretty good socially, maybe the best one so far? Seems to have a really good rapport with Jolanda at least, and is the one pulling Caryn into that set-up as opposed to Wanda or Tom. He's here for the long term for sure, plenty of time to find out more about him.
Gregg - typical Gnarls off-kilter humour is endearing him to most, but interesting it is part of the reason Jolanda sees Ibe as closer to her in that trio. He's doing what he does best though - just going with the flow while making good bonds with
everyone. This will ensure he stays the course.
Caryn - I'm not sure exactly how she came to the conclusion that telling Ibe she was already close to Jo would work, but it did, and she's being roped in as number four in that set-up. I am really looking forward to future bitchiness, just hope she can deliver on her promise.
Bobbi-Jon - the late-comer that I have the least worries for. I feel so bad for screwing those dates up but seeing how quickly and correctly he's moving, it takes the edge off. Already building a safety net of the bottom feeders, but will easily work his way into the majority at this rate.
Jeff - has shown up, posted once or twice, and PMd here and there. But that's all I can really say about him so far.
Wanda - Wanda I
do worry for. Yes she's here, but any impression she's made seems to be negative so far. She is going through the motions of PMs and posting at least, but there is a distinct lack of any connection to
anyone happening.
Kim - No-show so far.
This idol clue ploy might not mean much yet, but within a round or two there will be fingers pointed all over the place as to who has the extra clue
