Hey guys!
First off, vote in the poll above to prove John Wilson wrong.
I wrote this yesterday afternoon so it doesn't include my strategy talks (fucking finally) from last night, but it gives my first impressions. I was absolutely tragic at figuring out how to post this but I wrote it, so now that I've figured it out it's getting posted. In my video that I'll focus on last nights developments and depending on when I actually get around to doing that maybe the challenge too.
I also just fucked up posting this and made it visible for everyone lol my bad, so hopefully nobody read it but whatever I'll deal with it if they did. Rookie mistake.
Cast assessment/Tribe Assessment.
I'm on the Carex (Carrot?) tribe, which is great because I look significantly better in blue than orange (or black and white...) and our tribe has to be significantly better than their tribe just based off intro videos and the personalities. Hopefully we're also better in the challenges too.
I'm just gonna compare these peoples personalities and how I mesh with them to songs.
Austin: Call it What You Want - T Swift.
- So like the first time you here this song it's a vibe and you think you're really gonna love it but then you realize it has no incline whatsoever as it approaches the chorus and then you realize you just heard the chorus and you're like "that it? that's the song?". It's a fine song, and you can fuck it with when you're listening to it, but it doesn't get any better on each subsequent listen, but it doesn't get worse either really. It's kinda just like I like this song, but I'm not craving to listen to it.
Ben: Hallelujah - idk there's so many fucking versions of it but probably the version from that guy who was on American Idol with the dreads.
- Right off the bat you know this song is a serious song. It comes in and you know what it's gonna give you, but the more you listen to the song and it unfolds the more you really fucking like it even if it's gonna make you cry. And eventually you're driving down the highway blasting this song and just jamming out to it with your trash ass vocal ability. But again, you realize it's a serious song and it's not here to fuck around, but that melody and clever lyrics are gripping, so you listen to one of the 42037 versions it has because their is so much you can do with this song and places you can go with it. Sometimes the version is a flop but sometimes it's amazing.
Elise: Higher - Rihanna.
- This song is so short but it comes in and just fucking goes. The vocals are kind of rough and grainy at first because it doesn't give you that first slower verse to amp you up, but once she hits that first chorus you're just jamming out and then all of sudden the song fucking ends because Rihanna has to go to bed or write a paper or something and you're like "wait hold up I want more! Why is this song only 2 minutes long when it should be like 4??" So this song is a bop and you really like listening to it but it's also too short and you wish it was longer, but maybe if it was longer you'd grow frustrated with the rough vocals?
Holli: I Just Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble.
- So you know Michael Buble and that his songs slap (don't even come for me if you don't like Buble cause you're the one with issues) and that you can really vibe with any of his songs, but also finding any of his music that isn't his damn Christmas Album requires using youtube, and using youtube means you cant actually use your phone while you do that, so you don't really listen to buble that much. Also, he may have possibly cheated with (or on?) Emily Blunt so that makes you feel weird about his music because he might not be what you think he is? But you also associate him with Christmas so like you'll be happy to vibe with his when it's christmastime but christmas only comes once a year so you just dont blast his stuff for 10.5 months of the year. This song title is also shade because its been two nights (Edit: 3) and I still havent met you on one of the tribe calls like Holli where are you at?
Jeff: Anaconda - Nicki Minaj.
- This is exactly what you expect from a Nicki Minaj song and it still fucking slaps. It's a #1 hit for a reason and you can't even hate because bringing back Sir Mix-A-Lot is a fucking POWER move and she knocks it outta the park. It's NSFW but that doesn't stop you from loving it. But you also know this shit was a #1 song from the second you heard it, so like eventually even though you love it you might decide you need a new number 1 song, but that won't change the fact that you vibe with this shit whether your listening on your headphones or at the club.
Jenn: Proud Mary - Tina Turner.
- It starts slow and melodic, a really nice undercurrent beat and you get this intimate relationship with Tina Turner by her talking to you and you deadass feel like you're being serenaded on a steam boat. And you love it because it's easy to follow along too and the connection with the song is great, but you also know it's a Tina Turner song so obviously it's gonna pick up and you're gonna dancing along to it using the moves from Just Dance 2 for wii, and singing along to it and it's even more incredible because there is this really cool deep voiced male singer which makes its a possibility for a duet at karaoke nights which is what everyone really wants. And you probably don't listen to this song that much but you still really like it and wish you did listen to it more but Tina Turner also has other jams that are equally as good so you listen to those some times. But no other song will ease you into the fun like this song does.
Jermaine: Party In The USA - Miley Cyrus.
- At first you're surprised you love this song because like why the hell is Miley putting out music that isn't under Hannah Montana's name? But you quickly realize this song fun, and easy to sing along too, and an all around fucking jam. And everyone else low key realizes that too but nobody wants to give miley the credit for producing this instant classic because shes Hannah Montana and a Disney Channel star, not an actual artist, but then Bin Laden dies and everyone is blasting this song because it's a bop and makes you happy and brings people together because how can a person not vibe with this song? And here we are like 9 years later and people still go hard to it when she tells us to put are hands up and it's a karaoke smash hit everywhere.
Michael: The Bed Intruder Song - Antoine Dodson.
- An unconventional choice that you have have forgotten existed until this very second. But there has never been a song in the history of ever that has been more fun to bop your head along too. And then sing. And then make it your 2011 ringtone. It's short and not by a real singer so it's overlooked, but the beat cannot be fucking topped. It's only like 2 minutes long but it leaves such an impression that I know you're gonna go listen to this right when you finish reading this and it's gonna be stuck in your head all day even 7 years later because it leaves such an impression. Run and tell that, homeboy.
