You said don't get you started on Ice's helmet or you'll be mean... please be mean. Please be mean to him. What is so disastrous about his helmet design?
my time has come. i will be mean to him. (thank you for getting me started on this. it bothers me every time I watch top gun.) this is also gonna be so long. yippee!
stopthatfool's issues with Tom "Iceman" Kazansky's helmet! aka this bad boy right below. (I'm sorry if anyone loves Ice's helmet, it's just not for me)
Tumblr media
The placement of his name. WHY is it on the side? Both him and Slider have their names on the side. That makes me think it's a squadron thing? (the VF-213s) but regardless i don't care cuz i think it's stupid. (again sorry if someone thinks its genius. ok i'll stop apologizing)
My biggest issue with the fact it's on the side is that it creates this uneven weight distribution. The side with his name feels considerably "heavier" than the side without.
And the thing i don't understand is that Ice's name is evenly numbered!! He could fit 3 letters on either side of the line that comes down the helmet! the letters wouldn't be unevenly distributed, so I don't know why he felt the need to put it there!!
Here, I have "annotated" his helmet and provided other viewpoints of his helmet!
Tumblr media
The font/typeface! Ice.. is that ARIAL?? and it's not even bolded??? so not only is his name to one side and weirdly small... it's skinny and unbolded. (like you're THE Iceman. Don't you want your name big and bolded? I shouldn't be searching for your name when you're Mr. Iceman!)
Looking at his helmet head-on, part of his name isn't even visible.. like ok ICEM!
And then! There's this weird switch up in the shapes and line types that he used-- the angular and sharp points of the lightning bolts and the half circles surrounding the squadron logo (is it a logo?? idk im gonna call it a logo)
What i think Ice is trying to do here is create a "connection" between the circular part of the logo and the lightning bolts as the bolts go all the way to the back of the helmet... but in my opinion... it's not working. like at all.
The comparison between the harsh lines of the bolts and then the curves is just kind of hard on the eyes (for me anyway). I just don't know where to look. Should i be following the leading lines of the lightning bolts? Or the curves of the half-circle things? Or should I be following the line of the lightning bolt in the logo?
And all throughout that... i barely end up seeing the name on the helmet.
Continuing off the logo... for Top Gun 1986, Ice and Slider are in the VF-213 squadron, but the movie switched the logo to the VFA-25s that looks like this on their flight suits-
Tumblr media
(yes that is the best quality image i could find from the movie my bad) So why does the logo on his helmet look like this???
Tumblr media
WHY do the fingers look like that. they look like hotdogs im so sorry. (logistically it was probably easier for the decals to be printed and then applied like this. but. we're not talking about technicalities here. right now i'm tearing apart the entire composition of Ice's helmet.)
I like version of the logo on their flight suits soooo much better! It's got more "rhythm" and flow to it that the lightning bolts lack! Plus no hotdog fingers.
Ok ok, now on the colour scheme. The harsh and bright blues I don't mind. Like yeah, you're The Iceman, punch me in the face with blue. I can forgive that. The thing that really bothers me.. is the silver/grey base of the helmet.
It's this really harsh grey that really doesn't help with the already harsh blues. I think he should've continued with the blue he has going. cuz this grey ain't working, king.
Ok, anyway. Since I should be studying, I'm obviously doing anything but studying. So i redesigned ice's helmet. ya idk.
Tumblr media
it's kind of wonky.. but whatevs (ignore how the lightning bolt on the side view doesn't line up with the front view) (and ignore the inconsistences in the lettering. i was lazy and did it by hand)
I also didn't want to completely change/get rid of the aspects of Ice's helmet. So the changes aren't huge (except for maybe the name placement/"font")
ok I changed the background colour (finally, it's less all up in your face now) I continued with the blues and lessened the intensity just a little bit. I really wanted his name to be front and center!
Now the colour scheme is also consistent. No random black lettering (again, in arial???) there's now black in both his name, the outline of the lightning bolts and the logo!
Now his name is evenly distributed! See how it fits on either side of the line that comes down the center of the helmets from '86? See how you can actually see his whole name? See how it's heavier and fits the whole "iceman" theme better? (at least in my opinion)
Come on, Ice! You should've used the leading lines provided by the lightning bolts to guide people to your name! There's now a fun little overlapping moment!
Tumblr media
(ignore how i forgot to dot one of the i's in distribution whoops)
No more weird half circle things! No more conflicting leading lines! But! I decided to extend the arm of the squadron logo to continue the line of the lightning bolt as it moves backward. I think this makes the circle of the logo fit better, while simultaneously creating that "connection" he was trying to get in his actual design.
The lack of half-circle things also allow for the logo and lightning bolts to just "be." There's no distraction. it's not overly "busy" anymore (like maverick's helmet). It's simple, but he's The Iceman! He doesn't need it to say/have more!
And the use of the "actual" logo seen on Slider and Ice's flight suits creates that sense of movement that was absent before! Plus no hotdog hands!
Is this new proposed design perfect? Absolutely not! The logo and the lightning bolts still create a weird point of almost intersection that still bothers me. But I think fundamentally, there's always going to be issues with these two components: the circle will never quite fit in, and the lightning bolt the hand is holding will always "cut" the whole thing in half, creating a weird separation in the helmet, that will always bother me.
Anyway, this was a lot of fun! (I love being mean to these guys. they need their egos brought down a couple pegs!)

The tHOTlist # 200 - 151
200)   Bubbles D'Boob
Tumblr media
Giving the children raucous numbers and leading them in some racy games in between voluminous clips of Broadway musicals is the key to Showtune Sundays’ success. Bubbles gleefully floated the show this year between REBAR and the Fire Island Pines Pavilion. 
199)  DJ OhRicky
Tumblr media
From Pieces in the West Village to its sister bar Hardware in Hell’s Kitchen, Ricky provides the soundtracks to some of the biggest drag names in the city while giving you healthy(-ish) doses of Kylie Minogue and Eurovision in between the shows.
198)  Pepto Dismal
Tumblr media
From Cali comes this aesthetically outrageous drag queen and DJ, and Brooklyn has not been quite the same since. Catch her on stages or in DJ booths wherever drag goes wild, notably the monthly party Scrunch at The Dreamhouse.
197)  Chandilier
Tumblr media
New York’s tallest drag queen’s dry wit has been refined through years of performing for bachelorette parties at Lips. She also hosts “Shut Up, Chandi,” a cult favorite Monday night show at The Duplex.
196)  West Dakota
Tumblr media
A classy supermodel one night and an avant garde monster the next, here is the perfect addition to The Rosemont’s Wednesday show OOPS’ lineup.
195)  John-John Punki
Tumblr media
Perhaps the best known gogo boy of this city’s bear events, John-John also produces popular nights in the scene like Rockbar’s Purgatory and a monthly Latin party at The Eagle, Piel.
194)  Jen Urban
Tumblr media
This year saw a Brooklyn Nightlife Award nom for Jen Urban & The Box, a powerhouse dance rock duo fronted by this colorful musician. Between recording new songs for the The Box, Jen DJs karaoke at Macri Park (she was additionally BNA-nominated as a DJ this year) and dance parties at Lady Stardust. There, she also hosts a monthly live music event called Torch.
193)  Linux
Tumblr media
Sporting lewks that beholders can’t help but wonder how the hell anyone can move let alone walk in, club kid Linux is the true definition of how an artist can be their own work of art. Susanne Bartsch, Ladyfag and Kayvon Zand have spawned colossal kikis where brilliant scene queens like Aquaria and Ryan Burke rule the realm... but if you’re not seeing Linux at these events (and even in that crowd, Linux is pretty hard to miss), it can’t be that great of a party. When Linux recently fell into a bit of undeserved legal trouble, their superstar nightlife friends came forward with a benefit kiki for the ages.
192) Julius’
Tumblr media
The ancient gay bar has obviously played an important role in the long history of queer civil rights and culture. A neighborhood dive with tasty bar food on the surface, it actually hosts a pretty unique array of old school queer thinkers and artists. It’s also the home of John Cameron Mitchell’s monthly vinyl dance party Mattachine and its rabid cult following. Julius’ medieval interior appeared memorably in a scene from POSE, as well as the the film Can You Ever Forgive Me?.
191)  Mother Juan Aviance
Tumblr media
The House of Aviance’s founder focused a lot on the House’s record label this year, producing releases from ball scene legends Coby Koehl and Jade Elektra. But Mother’s out with the children often enough, particularly while hosting Hex Hector’s monthly JUHLA at The Ritz, Christina Visca’s Birdcage at LeBain, or Ladyfag’s Battle Hymn.
190)  Bobby Duron & Steve Cunningham
Tumblr media
The dynamic DJ duo keep the beat going for the city’s best cruisy bear and muscle queen dance parties. Catch them together spinning disco, rock or deep house at Rockbar and Nowhere, or separately at The Cock and The Eagle.
189)  Harajuku
Tumblr media
Known as much now for her daring onstage stunts--live douching, drinking her own piss--as for her amazingly elaborate drag looks and electric dance performances--the Rosemont’s OOPS cast member has come to embody so much of what we expect, and don’t expect, from Brooklyn drag. 
188)  Black Widow
Tumblr media
After months of making her name in the weekly competition circuit, this energetic dance queen ultimately hooked up with two large ensemble shows--The Bad Bitch Review at REBAR and TURNt at The Ritz--before ditching drag for a cruise ship dance gig.
187)  Henrietta Hudson
Tumblr media
Manhattan’s last standing lesbian bar is more of an institution then it ever was. With its deft DJs, sexy gogo girls and rockstar bar staff, Henrietta has found and made work that rare cultural niche: lesbian nightlife, every day of the week. [Photo: Grace Chu}
186)  Vanna Deux
Tumblr media
An exceptional performer who hosted her own show at The West End for several months, Vanna left the city for a stretch to star in a Woodstock production of La Cage. Since her recent return, she’s hosted her second Stonewall Invasion and made several other appearances.
185)  Bella Noche
Tumblr media
New York’s number one nautical queen is a good time gal and all around sweetie, hosting Game Night at Rockbar (where she made finals for 2018′s Miss Rockbar pageant) and her own web interview show courtesy of Facebook Live and Spoiled NYC, “Cocktails & Contours.” These days she’s also making a name for herself as part of Long Island’s blossoming drag scene.
184)  Misty Mountains Davenport
Tumblr media
A cheerful performer and funny mix maker, the newly christened Davenport (and our current reigning Miss Cherry Grove) gives you your best life monthly at Icon. Meanwhile, she’s also cocktail waitressing / guest performing for the Stonewall Invasions most Sundays.
183)  Nicky Boom Box
Tumblr media
Therapy, Hardware and Pieces’ old school pop DJ is known to vogue his way across the late night dance floor after he’s done dropping the soundtrack to that night’s drag shows. He recently joined Holly Box-Springs as her Sunday brunch DJ at Gallo Nero.
182)  Crystal Mesh
Tumblr media
In a scene where sometimes drag performers can take themselves a tad too seriously, The Rosemont’s Crystal is a trailer park rodeo clown. Her cute song “My Cabana” earned her a Brooklyn Nightlife Award nomination, and she makes the audiences for her OOPS ensemble show chuckle with just a look. Crystal was also the perfect choice to host the monthly prelims of the Mx. Mont Rose comedy queen pageant this year.
 181)  House of Yes
Tumblr media
The queer friendly Brooklyn nightclub owned by two young women continues to attract top DJ talent and offer some interesting alternatives to the routine: light shows, circus acts, live music, outlandish themes and more. 
180)  Dezi 5
Tumblr media
The soulful, charming and fashionable singer played dozens of gigs throughout the city and beyond this year (including a return tour to his hometown of Texas) and proved himself to be a natural host with his own party at Rockbar, Teaze.
179)  Deryck Todd
Tumblr media
The hat mogul continues to keep Acme’s Tuesday night STRUT one of the hippest weekly soirees in the East Village, while making stuff happen at Bedlam as well.
178)  Jasmin Van Wales
Tumblr media
Patti LaBelle’s biggest fan and a legend in her own right (Zalika Parsons even honored her with a full installment of her “Legendary” show this year at Bizarre), this classy ball scene veteran and trans beauty is the current reigning (and possibly final) Miss Monster as of late 2017. Lady Jasmin stays doing shows with The Monster despite their recent difficulties, sits as a permanent judge in Stonewall’s weekly drag competition Polish The Queen, and continues to occasionally produce her own showcases at the WOW Cafe.
177)  Angelica Sundae
Tumblr media
Equal parts gothy and goofy, this Brooklyn queen and former House of Umpteen Corpses co-member Mini Horrorwitz make for an unbeatable onstage funny frightfest. Catch them together hosting a Sunday game night at Pizza Party or at various kikis across the borough, and see solo Angelica host bingo at Boobie Trap.
176)  John Marto
Tumblr media
A longtime favorite DJ at the Ritz (and other bars like Atlas), this year John along with Marti Gould Cummings were able to bring a new successful monthly back home to Jersey City--Talde’s Fortune Thursday. And for the adventurous, get in the know of his super secret, super sexy dark room affair SCUM that he produces with Steve Senobyte.
175)  Ritzy Bitz
Tumblr media
Hilarious in a recent all-drag, all-lip synched tribute to the TV show Scream Queens at Lps, New York’s most gymnastic queen (and the only one allowed to wear sneakers) is mostly a Brunch Bitch these days courtesy of La Pulperia: she hosts at the restaurant’s Midtown East location on Saturdays, and the HK version on Sundays. Oh, and how excited are we to hear Ritzy’s first single drop?
174)  Lucy Balls
Tumblr media
The popular TNT queen nearly quit drag in frustration with the P.C. police, but this year rose from the dead to host a fun new monthly at The Rosemont, “It’s My Party” where every month is her birthday.
173)  Peppermint
Tumblr media
When RuPaul said in an interview that she likely wouldn’t allow Pep to return to Drag Race for an All-Star season because Boobs--even though Peppermint was the first competing queen to come out as trans during the show--fans across the world went “Um...” But the OG New York entertainer gave us the best “thank u, next” in the history of that show’s legacy, becoming the first trans person to originate a role on Broadway courtesy of the medieval Go-Go’s romp Head Over Heels.
172)  Gilda Wabbit
Tumblr media
Whether she was giving us opera in ball gowns or bangee in ripped fishnets, there is no doubt that this fan favorite queen left her mark on the city. Beginning with shows in Astoria sister bars Albatross and Icon and ever-increasing her visibility throughout Manhattan, starring in a subway meme, hosting cabarets, performing in Nightgowns with Sasha Velour... it was all a star-making formula. Since getting hitched and returning to her native Kentucky (and quickly becoming an important queer drag presence there), Gilda’s been back here with such surprising frequency it’s almost like she never left, thankfully.
171)  Zarria Van Wales Powell
Tumblr media
Knowing her to be a true professional and likable person, nightlife immediately rallied to her side when Zarria released a Facebook Live video condemning Vodka Soda Bottoms Up owner Richie Friendley for allegedly calling her a racial slur while accusing her of drink theft (a charge she denied). VSBU still hasn’t quite recovered from that bad publicity, but Zarria has gone on to slay guest spots and competitions while landing her first weekly hosting gig at the new Boxers Washington Heights on Saturday nights.
170)  Greg Scarnici
Tumblr media
The SNL associate producer has been letting his rainbow flag fly for a few years now--both on screen with some hilarious YouTube videos, and in the DJ booth for parties at the Fire Island Pines and a seasonal monthly tea dance at The Monster. This year, one of his hilarious YouTube creations became a star in her own right... Levonia Jenkins premiered her very own stage show Gender Fluids that opened at the Beechman and spread like herpes to stages across the land.
169)  Antonio Cedeno
Tumblr media
This long-time nightlifer and uber-tatted ex-gogo boy promotes / hosts a lot of huge events in the city, and produces his own hit thotfest Male Room at REBAR.
168)  Blvck Laé D
Tumblr media
The artist formerly known as Laé D. Boi performs almost entirely in self-penned, live performed rap, and has made a name for themselves hosting two polar opposite events: Reparations, a roving revue celebrating Brooklyn’s diverse POC queens, and The Rosemont’s Annie Mae, a geeky kiki paying homage to anime and related nerdosity. The stylish Blvck has also taken the reins of Macri Park’s monthly benefit show Wallbreaker and a monthly spoopfest there called Ghoul School, while hosting monthly parties at Dromedary Urban Tiki Bar.
167)  Linda Simpson
Tumblr media
Thank Goddess Linda liked taking photos during the Manhattan drag boom of the late 80s-early 90s. Today she’s one of the main amateur historians of that scene, and her recent slideshow The Drag Explosion compiled from that collection made for a fun and informative night at WILD Project. And while choosing to distance herself from the fray of bar lip synching and sticking to what she does best--hosting and storytelling at Le Poisson Rouge’s Friday and Saturday bingo nights--she did join her legendary drag sisters on stage for Lady Bunny’s Woodstock reunion.
166)  Octavia Anyae
Tumblr media
The longtime hostess of Suite’s Saturday night party and several Jersey gigs had a Moment in 2018. She won the Miss Latinissima crown at Club Mandala, and the first season finale of Polish The Queen at Stonewall. She also got a fun new gig at POSH doing Wednesday night pop-up shows with her drag sister Kristy Blaze, and several other Manhattan gigs followed.
165)  Viva Vidalia
Tumblr media
This voluptuous queen’s got it all: she’s funny, she dances up a storm, she’s got mad fashionz and designs for many other queens, and she’s equal parts warm and savage. And it now seems that the world’s is finally figuring this all out. RIght now Viva hosts Friday nights at Rockbar, a new Thotyssey-produced Tuesday night variety show at Bedlam, and a karaoke hosting gig Wednesdays at Boxers HK. She’s also a regular guest for Shuga Cain’s Hardware show, and no doubt more milestones are coming her way in 2019.
164)  Eugene Edo
Tumblr media
One of Manhattan’s busiest DJs (he worked 30 straight nights this year!), you can catch Eugene throughout the week at The Ritz, Barrage, Atlas, REBAR, Therapy, and God knows where else!
163)  Sasha Velour
Tumblr media
First of all, how burned-in-your-brain-forever was Diego Montoya’s alien stepdown gown she rocked for the Drag Race Season 10 finale? Yeah. The renown queen helped trailblaze the Brooklyn drag-as-art movement before showing the world how far the form can be taken with her Drag Race win, and she returned to NYC for several key performances this year--most notably for installments of her multimedia concert series Nightgowns. And did you see that crazy old-timey video she made at Bizarre Bushwick with Peppermint and her Brooklyn sisters? Yeah!
162)  Jasmine Kennedie
Tumblr media
Clearly a rising star of the scene, Mancie Mandell’s drag daughter and FIT’s latest pageant winner is supermodel gorgeous, dance-tastic and already Insta-famous. For now, catch her making all the children live and die on late Wednesday nights at The Ritz with the bitchin’ drag revue TURNt.
161)  Zenobia
Tumblr media
One of Brooklyn’s most exciting dance queens has also found recent success with DJing various shows and parties in that borough. By day, Zenobia’s a high profile supporter of Drag Queen Story Hour.
160)  Michael Magnan
Tumblr media
The veteran club DJ remains a favorite beatmaster of Ladyfag for parties like her monthly Battle Hymn. Lately he also joins forces with JT Almon as the DJ duo FNV (Fruits-N-Vegetables) for nights at Glendale’s Nowadays, and spins the monthly party Nookie (with its fun B-Movie retro posters) alongside Cameron Cooper.
159) Rise Bar
Tumblr media
John Blair, Beto Sutter and Ted Arenas’ thot factory still Brings the Bougie, but also boasts some great DJs, two killer drag shows (Piss Myles & Jasmine Rice for Messy Mondays, Marti Gould Cummings with Brenda Dharling & Bootsie LeFaris on Legend Wednesdays), and a seasonal singing competition that many people love (Rising Star). Also, bae bartenders of course.
158)  Golden Delicious
Tumblr media
This tall and cheery queen from the Apple Farm co-hosts a brunch in Astoria’s Fresco’s Cantina with Gloria Swansong on Sundays, and has her own monthly show at The West End. For several months she appeared with friend Tucker Murray as cabaret duo Two Tuckers at The Duplex, and a Golden solo cabaret premieres there in December.
157)  Crimson Kitty
Tumblr media
One of the world’s original and best AFAB queens, Crimson taught us that technically anyone could “do” drag, but a true queen puts in the work and the werk. After disbanding her troupe Ladyqueen, Miss Kitty made the world her litterbox with shows all over the country, and fun hometown gigs like the recent “Villains” revue at Stonewall. And on top of all that, she finally received her very first pageant crown: Miss Nerd!
156)  Andora Tetee
Tumblr media
A self-taught sorceress of costumes and makeup who can give you the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen, or the dead ringer of your favorite celebrity diva, or a detailed monster from your worst nightmares, Andora’s been something of cherished NYC secret. That is, until she went and became our city’s first ever winner of the national Miss Gay America pageant in 2018. Now we must share her superstardom with the world!
155)  Haus of Sterling
Tumblr media
Three fourths (along with DJ P_A_T) of what makes The Rosemont’s “Fake Nudes” a Brooklyn Nightlife Award-winning kiki, Tiffany Jones, Candy and Sookie Sterling are a flashy, flirty threesome that bring some heedless fun to BK nightlife. In late November they began hosting what will likely be the Next Big Blowout, “Studio” at 3 Dollar Bill.
154)  POSH
Tumblr media
The bar with an older crowd for happy hour that morphs into a younger dance party with top DJs each night remains a favorite destination for HK locals, who get into the 11pm free food (on some nights) and the hot-as-fuck bar staff (all nights). Wednesdays in 2018 featured a return of drag to the venue, currently featuring pop-up performances by Kristy Blaze and Octavia Onyae.
153)  Annie Manildoo
Tumblr media
This campy queen is nearly solely responsible for the current Long Island drag boom, with her careful selection of venues across the counties like Off Key Tikki, The Living Room and One Eye Jacks. Her well-curated show rosters include both budding local talent and borrowed girls from the city. Other busy queens emerging from LI include LaBelle, Ivy Stalls and Syn.
152)  Morgan Royel
Tumblr media
The longtime performer originated in the ball scene, and is now a fan favorite among the Lips Restaurant roster of drag queens. She also currently hosts “Do The Right Thing,” a hip hop party at The Ritz originated by her gurl Peppermint.
151)  Shay D'Pines & Angel Elektra  
Tumblr media
Really, does any queen have as much infectious fun performing as these two? Keeping drag alive in their hometown of Yonkers with gigs at Guapo and The Alamo, the on-and-offstage pair can be found Acting The Fools in local venues as well: Rockbar, Queen Vic and Brooklyn’s Sycamore Bar this December they also debut as pageant hosts with the premiere Miss Q Train.

Episode #3: “Find out next time on total drama suck my ass” - Andrew
Bodhi
I'm pretending to have been told to vote for Kelsey, but in reality I knew exactly who was leaving, and I just wanted to see what happened. So I called out my old tribe in the swapped tribe chat and Kelsey is explaining what happened to me while I call Trixie and Nehemiah snakes. I quite like those two and I kinda regret calling them out for something they didn't do like that, but it's FUN.
QuilLynn
So im on albatross now and I couldn't be happier! so far everyone seems nice, i've only talked really to shea and roxy but i really like both of them so far. The only person i'm with from skua is austin, but he can go tbh if he needs too, noah fence I just don't really have a relationship with him and im here to win and make some drama!
I tried to get a higher score on this reward challenge than i think the other team will get altogether. I hope it will establish me as a threat and serious player in this game. I'm trying to integrate with Shea, Roxy and Ali, because I know old albatross is going to stick together, I'm hoping i'll be able to work with them but I trust nobody 100% in this game. I told Shea that if I get an idol clue i'd share it with him, that's half true. If i get an Idol clue and find myself in the same situation as i was in at Skua then I'll get his advice with the idol, but if i find that bitch its mine! 
stop spelling my name wrong @hosts it quillynn (two n's like how you all seem to have two 21st chromosomes)  im going to POP OFF..... im jk love you guys <3, but it is two n's 
Roxy's opinions are wrong sorry. Also @my tribe thanks for the all work in the challenge. I really feel like i'm going to be dragging this team through these challenges. At least trixie did something at this point she's the only one i wouldn't be okay with voting out.
I feel like with me on this team there is no way we lose a music video challenege, even though pretty much everyone seems to not want to be involved in it. I wanted to take editing too, but i let trixie take it because she said to me she was really good and i didn't want to come off as a total control freak, although i'm sure i still will... I will probably still help with the editing tbh. I just want to win! 
I tried confiding in shea that I had an idol clue in hopes that he'd be able to give me some info about old albatross and also build trust, but i don't think it really worked. I like shea, but don't trust him. He didn't give me much and said roxy was the best in the scavanger hunt. When I went to roxy and asked her about the same challenege she said she was too busy to do basically any of it. To be fair I don't believe her either, but i might need to talk to one more person before I really can find out which one is lying and who has the first clue for the albatross idol
There is a crack starting to present itself within the old albatross tribe. Shea and roxy clearly don't get along. I believe i could convince roxy to vote shea out if i needed too, i just would need to solidify the rest of the votes which might be hard since i haven't talked much to the other non-albatross members. I also like shea and would want him to stay over roxy but realistically it would be harder to get his vote and I have a gut feeling that we should take him out asap if we get the opportunity. 
We won, DUH. Skua's was shit ours was great, the judges were clearly on crack for lowballing our scores. 
Trixie, Nehe, Austin, and myself might make an "outsiders" alliance amongst our tribe. Based on performance in the the last immunity challenge I'm contemplating throwing the next in order to get shea out. If we have our alliance plus maybe the vote of roxy or ali we'll be able to do it. 
Jacob
Hey look, new tribes! I'm glad to see Bodhi! <3 And now I can get to know some more new people. I'm pretty excited overall, but I guess only time will tell how this turns out in the end.
Welp. That challenge was a bust. At least Regan is asking us to vote her out so we don't have to worry about the vote. I keep forgetting we have to do confessionals through this thing instead of just dropping them in the Host Chat.
Trixie
RIP dana. She had so much to live for. I can't believe she smacked her head and now she's dead. She deserved it for putting me in this tribe. JK everyone is very lovely and I'm trying to snuff out the problematics from the ppl I can trust.
This. Girl. Is. The. Nastiest. Skank. Bitch. I. Have. Ever. Met. Do. Not. Trust. Her. She. Is. A. Fugly. Slut. #[email protected] JK!!! <3 
I'M LIVING FOR THIS FIGHT. BUY PRAYING ON ITUNES.
I just finished the music video, I hope everybody likes it!
I'm sorry but can I just fucking say I spent like 2 hours editing that 5 minute music video and not even a single 10/10 by the judges. Get fucked! I know we won but Skua's was less than a minute long and some bitch judges have the audacity to give us lower scores than them. Yikes @ these judges, learn how to judge
I'm thinkin aboot making an alliance with Quillynn and Nehe. Quillynn is up for this and said that maybe we can add Austin to make an alliance of 4 that way we can have half the votes on our team. I'm worried Albatross will just try to pick us off since we're the leftovers of Skua & Adelie
Andrew
Will Jacob ever agree with anything? Find out next time on total drama suck my ass
Regan
MY TRIBE IS FULL OF ANNOYING FUCKS. I hate this tribe swap no one wants to agree on any song we pick which are all bops by the way. 80s songs in general are bops!!!!!
I didnt think it was possible to hate the tribe this much..... its not a music video if youre using like audio clips from random shit thats just a video idk i dont find it creative i hate rupauls drag race so fucking much.  im sorry our tribe is full of weirdos but like????
Nicholas
no offense but why is my entire tribe inbred
Zack
I hope my tribe does well with those music video. I will be in a car for thirteen hours and cannot do lip sync without having to do a long explanation as to why I'm doing it.
Kelsey
Oh my...SO much has happened since the last week lovers, let me catch you all up. So first, tribal. It was quite clear that Trixie and Bodhi were on opposing sides than Ragan and Cole. Trixie really did feel it was best to eliminate Cole from the competition, but Ragan had her doubts as did I. I feel as if Bodhi is not the best...communicator. Cole wasn't either, but he was better. But regardless, I draw up a plan that says that Ragan, Cole, Nehe(who was in the center of all of it) and I vote out Bodhi, therefore keeping Cole around. We all agreed on it and I thought it was sickening...until we get to the vote and myself and Cole are the only ones to vote for Bodhi. Ragan chickened out at the last moment and Nehe said he wanted to force a tie. L U D I C R O U S. Did they HONESTLY think that it would work if it tied? Oh, whatever. Trixie's happy, everyone assumes Ragan was the second vote, I'm still the sweet girl of the tribe. Whatever. And then we tribe swap...oh WHATEVER. I'm going to miss my romance island...especially now that we have to leave it FOREVER. Ragan and Bodhi both end up on the same tribe as me and, while it's nice to have the familiar faces, those two will probably not end up working together. Bodhi has a nice boiling rage for Trixie and Ragan and Ragan herself...is...so much more assertive on this tribe than she was last time. All these new people are also a bit scary to me...I don't think many of them particularly see themselves working with me and I know that's going to be deepened ever more after this challenge. All I can do is hope that I can make people like me like Gwen Stefani and slay...I know I'm not going to participate in this challenge. I have a fake name, I don't feel like revealing anything about myself...and it's tragic. I have to choose between a silly fear and a necessary challenge and I already know I'm picking fear. Not to mention there is a supposed music guru on the other side...I am just preparing myself for the worst. Oh, how I miss the Isles of Romance...no matter how messy it was...
And THAT'S all there is to it~! Can you pay my telephone billz? -Kelsey V Mikaelson
Well...that challenge was a thing. I expected it to be a particularly tough challenge...I did NOT expect to be left with doing the brunt of the work. I never expect editing to be so dificult...but my submission was made and honestly? I'm proud of it. I feel like it's sickening, not because of quality, but because I made it in three hours, odds against and I feel like it's wonderful. It may not be a music video but gosh...I'm proud. If I go home this week, I feel like I made something I can take with me and that's incredible. I do hope I don't leave...some of the reactions to the performance were less the incredible...but my name is Kelsey Mikaelson, darling. A lover's quarrel is nothing more than a love bite to me~! I wish myself the best...for strategy, I know, on my end, these people aren't as welcoming to a romantic such as myself. All I can do is...Pray. *rolls eyes* IT DIDNT EVEN HAVE ALL OF THE TRIBEMATES UGH X'D And THAT'S all there is to it~! Wish me luck, hen-pen-pals~! Yours truly, Kelsey V Mikaelson

IM LEGIT IN AN AlLIANCE WITH EVERYONE HELP ME!

OK so I still have zero social game. Apparently I was the last to be picked and that's pretty funny. I'm on a tribe with Nehe and Ali SO I formed an alliance with them and that was literally the first thing I said to them. They know I'm on vacation so I can't really talk much, but Ali seemed to be very into it. I've known Zack just as long as I've known Isaiah/Jay so he's 100% going to be a number for me considering this is his first ORG. I've literally fallen into a position of power without even trying. I told Ali/Nehe that Bodhi and I are a part of a secret twist called "Secret Lovers" and if we make merge then we can decide if we want to give immunity to two other players during round 1 merge. IVE LITERALLY SECURED SAFETY OFF OF BULLSHIT AND BODHI DOESNT EVEN KNOW!! Tbh just get me to merge with Jay, Zack, and Bodhi and I can guarantee final 3....Lmao I haven't even spoken to anyone
