We’re here in this small plane hovering over the expansive Siberian tundra, where 16 strangers will be battling the elements and each other in an effort to survive the wilderness. They must learn to adapt, or they will be voted out of the tribe. In the end only one will remain standing to claim the title of Sole Survivor. 39 Days…16 People….1 Sole Survivor.








The
Olkhon tribe, who will always wear blue, consists of: Eric, a 17 year-old student from Virginia, Blair, an 18 year-old student from New Zealand, James, a 17 year-old student from New Zealand, Kim, a 17 year-old student from Las Vegas, Mike, a 17 year-old student from Vermont, Noelle, a 15 year-old student from Pennsylvania, Robert, a 16 year-old student from New York, and Vanessa, a 21 year-old student from  Kentucky.

The
Baikal tribe, who will always wear yellow, consists of: Bambi, a 21 year-old hotel desk clerk, Bart, a 15 year-old student from Vermont, Bobo, an 18 year-old student from San Francisco, Bryan, an 18 year-old retail manager from Chicago, Carl, a 15 year-old dancer from Sydney, Cipher, a 17 year-old student from New York, Maria, a 44 year-old hospital admitting clerk from Wisconsin, and Tonnya, a 19 year-old advertising assistant from Chicago.

BAIKAL TRIBE – DAY ONE

The Baikal tribe greeted each other, and some greetings were a bit more original than others.


i'm cipher, i'm 17 years old this coming september, and i'm usually very articulate and effusive, but at this moment, its almost like preaching to an answering machine.

Hey Hidey Yall, jk, i dun talk like tat. Hey wazup all the survivor people out there in my tribe. I am lets c, goin to be 18 soon...male...from sf.... haha oops, i forgot to add me name...me name is Bobo

(Hosts’ Note: He always talks like that.)

Bobo stirred the soup already.


Bobo: may i ask is everyone here straight?
Cipher: To the point
Bryan: haha
Cipher: I'm not straight. I'm not gay. I'm not bisexual, transexual, anything. I am free
Bryan: so direct Bobo
Bryan: well i am gay
Cipher: I'm currently dating a beautiful girl. ;-)
Bobo: ok
Bobo: just checkin
Cipher: Do you have a preference towards sexuality, in response?
Bobo: nope
Bobo: hey may i ask everyone, wuts the "naughtiest" thing u guys ever done?
Bambi: hey there Rachel, I'm Bambi, nice to meet you
Bambi: Well what do you classify as naughty, that's open for interpretation.
Bobo: kinda like the getting down and dirty
Cipher: I've had 2 topless girls in my bed before... Is that down and dirty?
Bobo: i guess tat could be called dirty
Cipher: Bobo, what is your major?
Bambi: I've been in a threesome with two other girls, but I'm not sure if that's considered naughty.
Cipher: Not at all.
Bambi: I liked it, so, lol.
Cipher: I almost engaged in a threesome with another guy and a girl before.
Bambi: Wow, haven't done that yet, lol, Give me time though, stranger things could happen I'm sure.
Cipher: I didn't follow through due to my morals.
Cipher: O:-)
Bambi: lol
Bambi: :-)
Bobo: hmm
Bobo: i held an orgy party
Bobo: but only invited girls
Bambi: interesting
Bambi: my best friend is talking about throwing at "kissing" party at my apt.
Bambi: I had a flirting buddy during one of the survivor type games I was in
Bambi: She was so cute, her name was Becca.
Bobo: hey out of curiosity, how do just girls have a 3 some? u dun have to answer if u dun want
Bambi: Well, sex is normally just two people, so add another person and it's still a threesome...
Bambi: plus, though I hate labels, I perfer being with a girl.
Bambi: Doesn't matter to me, feel free to do so if she's offended.
LAGalaxy23: has anyone ever taken "lovely" pictures of themselves?
Cipher: Yes, i have
Cipher: By lovely you meant, nude?
Bambi: I have done teasing shots..but nothing that would be R rated I guess you could say.
Bobo: yea
Bobo: rated R
Cipher: I have. I deleted those, though.
Cipher: I've seen nude Tonya, Lori, Chiara, Roddy, Lisa, and Eric pictures.
Bambi: I need to watch this show
Cipher: Bambi, I have the perfect link for you.
Bambi: lol oh God, you realize Ciper that when this is all said and done we'll be labeled as the "pervs" of the game lol
Bambi: feel free to show me the link

Maria talks about what’s going on in the tribe.

Well it has only been a few days and the tension is already mounting. One of my first times in the chatroom found the conversation turned towards homosexuality which I found irrelevant.  Later in a private conversation with Bryan he was upset and sure he was a marked man and the first to be voted out. He said that Bart had insinuated that him, myself, cipher, and Bambi had formed an alliance. I found this odd because I hadn't even spoken to Bambi yet much less formed an alliance. I did my best to reassure Bryan that it was too early in the game to get too stressed out. I also reassured him that I would watch his back and thought that Cipher would too. Later after entering the chatroom I received a private message from Bryan informing me that the tables had turned and it was now Bart who was hovering over the chopping block. It seems that Bart is not well like by a few of our tribe members. I could tell that Bryan was relieved about the situation but I had to wonder what was up with Bart. More of this drama to continue on "As The Survivor Siberia Turns". 

Bart and Bobo talk about their diverse tribe.

Bobo [11:41 AM]: well we know two of the open people
Bobo [11:41 AM]: but who is the third
Bobo [11:41 AM]: its not me u or maria
Bobo [11:41 AM]: oh um cipher
Bart [11:41 AM]: maybe 
Bobo [11:41 AM]: yhe told us he liked guys and girls
Bart [11:41 AM]: cipher?
Bobo [11:42 AM]: yea
Bart [11:42 AM]: oh cuz bambi is the same way
Bobo [11:42 AM]: yea
Bobo [11:42 AM]: but both of them are cool
Bobo [11:42 AM]: not bryan though
Bobo [11:42 AM]: he just hits on everyone
Bobo [11:44 AM]: hey so if we like lose a immunity, who do u think will be the first to get out?
Bart [11:44 AM]: i dont know    
Bobo [11:47 AM]: who would u want to get out first?    
Bobo [11:48 AM]: i would have to say bryan
Bobo [11:48 AM]: cuz he hit on me and it was kinda scary
Bart [11:48 AM]: i dont know who i would vote for first
Bart [11:48 AM]: no one has approached me yet for anything, so i guess it would really depend what happened 
Bart [11:11 AM]: are u in any alliances yet?
Bobo [11:12 AM]: nope
Bart [11:12 AM]: would u like to make an alliance with me? we have to get rid of these damn flamers
Bart [11:13 AM]: bryan & cipher have to go
Bobo [11:13 AM]: wut are flamers?
Bart [11:13 AM]: hmmmmm let me put it in a meaner tone
Bart [11:13 AM]: fags
Bobo [11:14 AM]: o
Bobo [11:14 AM]: i have to think about it
Bart [11:14 AM]: alright
Bobo [11:14 AM]: i'll give u the answer tonite
Bart [11:14 AM]: ok
Bart [11:14 AM]: have u talked to cipher lately?
Bobo [11:15 AM]: talked to him yesterday
Bart [11:15 AM]: ahhhh i want to kill him I hate him so much
Bobo [11:15 AM]: y?
Bart [11:15 AM]: because he is so rude
Bobo [11:16 AM]: o
Bart [11:16 AM]: and then the last thing we need him talking about is his lovers, and thats all he and bambi could talk about last night
Bart [11:16 AM]: it made me sick
Bobo [11:16 AM]: o
Bobo [11:21 AM]: i just talked to cipher
Bobo [11:21 AM]: he says he's going after tonnya first
Bobo [11:22 AM]: oh
Bobo [11:23 AM]: i think tonnya is cool, but we do have to keep our tribe strong, she needs to talk to people more
Bobo [11:23 AM]: yea 

DAY 1 – OLKHON TRIBE

Mike reflects on the journey to the tundra:

Light blinds my eyes as the blindfold is removed and I get to lay eyes on my fellow castaways for the very first time. I am in a plane high above the arctic land of Siberia, waiting to start an adventure of a lifetime. The familiar voices of Mark and Pepper are heard behind me introducting all of us to the cameras. Soon, the door to the aircraft slides open as Pepper straps each of us in our parachutes. Mark ushers eight of the people on the plane out the door, and they fall to their camp below. I feel excited, scared, and happy at the same time. I can't wait to begin this game. Soon, the aircraft door opens again as we near the other camp. I get in line and soon find myself flying through the air with eight complete strangers. We land scattered about on the arctic tundra beneath. Coming together to greet and welcome each other for the first time, we celebrate by opening a supply crate waiting next to our flag.

We are OLKHON.

The Olhkon tribe, as quick as it was to meet everyone, was even quicker to have alliances flying everywhere.

Kim: Would you be interested in alligning with Eric and I?
Mike: I would be :-)
Eric: do you guys want to make a pact right now....final three?
Kim: of course there is gonna be a switch :-(
MikeMac9538: Of course!
Eric: ok
Kim: mark.....no switches!
Kim: ok yeah!
Kim: final 3
Mike: Or a tribal split ... 3 tribe split at 12 people :-\
Eric: we are a sub-alliance
Eric: and possibly add two more and make a big powerhouse lol
Eric: that's the way it usually works out in games i'm in
Eric: and it usually works extremely well

Vanessa complains about her tribe.

everyone in the game is stupid loser and a pain in the butt all they do is lyer and cheat and cause trouble these player are low.life loser.

Kim talks about Vanessa in turn.

Well, the game officially started yesterday, and scheming has already begun. Mike, Eric, and I formed a pact, and we really need someone else, but we are waiting for a good person to find. Vanessa will probably be voted out first, unless there is an inactive person. Vanessa seems to have made some enemies early on, which is OK by me. I haven't really talked to anyone else yet. There are two people that we haven't heard from yet, so I'm anxious to talk to them. Right now, I think I'm playing it smart, and I really don't want to ruffle any feathers this early. I really don't know what's going to happen, and I really hope that Olkhon wins the first immunity challenge. It would be great for our morale if we could start the game off with a win, and hopefully put the hurt on the other tribe. This seems like a great game, and I'm anxious to get it on! Go Olkhon!

Robert also talks about Vanessa.

The people I have met so fat are great.Everyone is high in spirits and everyone is nice to each other.The only dark spot about the entire thing is that Vanessa is going around saying that everyone is lying to her and everyone wants to vote her out.Its only day 1 and she seems paranoid that she will go first.Honestly I think if she keeps this up she will go first.

Pepper posted snowmail.

This first one will wear you out
You may not get through it
Try your hardest to get far
So quickly, hurry, snap to it
You need to form a chain and push
Faster than your foe
Hurry with your tribemates now
Or you might be the next to go


The castaways hiked through the snow-ridden tundra and eventually walked onto their team’s mat, parallel to the other tribe. Pepper explained this was a bobsled race. Each tribe would be equipped with a sled and six torches. Two members would sit out from each tribe. Each participating racer would hop in the sled and then race to their torch, where they would light it, and then pass the sled to the next racer who would continue the chain until the end, where the final torch would be lit. Chaos ensued as both tribes scrambled to get started, but James, Noelle, and Vanessa fell face-first in the snow as Baikal cruised to victory. Pepper gave the screaming Baikal tribe the idol, as Olkhon slowly walked back to camp.

“Olkhon, we’ll see you tomorrow night,” Mark stated.

DAY 2 – OLKHON CAMP

Mike was very annoyed at the challenge results.

I was very disappointed in Olkhon's outcome for the challenge. 3 out of our 6 required people did not make it.

Shame on Vanessa
Shame on Noelle
Shame on James

Kudos to Blair
Kudos to Kim
Kudos to Mike

Kim talks about the tribe members that let her down.

Well what can I say? I'm kind of pissed at several members of our tribe! I'm very mad at James, Summer, and Vanessa. They did not show up for the immunity challenge. If they knew they would be gone they should have told the hosts! So we need to go to tribal council tomorrow because of those three. It kind of sucks, but it's a reality of the game. Vanessa will probably be voted out...I'm not sure of the vote tally though. I know for a fact that Blair, myself, Eric, and Mike will vote for her definately. So after that our tribe needs to pick up the pieces and move on! I don't want to sound like a bitch, but I really wish we could vote all three of them out now. They don't seem very interested in playing. Summer says about 1 word per minute, James is never on, and Vanessa types like a 3rd grader. Maybe James and Summer will be more participative later, because they are on shaky ground now. That's all for now.

DAY 2 – BAIKAL

Cipher talks about the loveable Bobo.

Bobo - Odd. Very odd. Can't predict what he's bound to say, but can assume that it involves sex or violence. He seems 2-dimensional.

Bart and Cipher talks to each other for the first time.

Cipher: Hi. We haven't met.
Bart: hey 
Cipher: Why are you telling people that they're going to be voted off first?
Bart: im not, i told bryan how someone is trying to get him
Cipher: Who? I'm not. Bambi certainly isn't. Neither is Maria.
Bart: ill tell u who but u have to promise not to tell anyone
Cipher: Bobo?
Bart: i really dont want to put myself in a bad spot, because i am not a bad person
Bart: yea it is
Cipher: I'll be the judge of that - you just got here.
Cipher: To put people in an awkward position on first impressions is not a smart move.
Bart: im not
Cipher: We've already discussed bobo and he's made his marks.
Bart: okay, well i am really sorry if i offended u
Cipher: Its alright.
Cipher: You didn't.
Bart (9:26:01 PM): do u not like me? because that was the vibe i was getting earlier today
Cipher (9:26:31 PM): I could care, either way.
Cipher (9:26:45 PM): Yet honestly, I don't.
Bart (9:27:10 PM): oh ok
Bart (9:27:19 PM): i cant make u like me
Cipher (9:27:32 PM): Let me tell you what you can do, though
Cipher (9:27:39 PM): You can stop conspiring against people
Cipher (9:27:47 PM): and trying to turn us against eachother.
Bart (9:28:01 PM): i didnt think i was, but if I am i will stop
Cipher (9:28:20 PM): What did you think you were doing?
Bart (9:28:33 PM): i thought i was helping someone out that i could trust
Cipher (9:28:33 PM): Let me list the things that have been said about you.
Cipher (9:28:47 PM): You've made Bobo look like a homophobe
Bart (9:28:50 PM): because i didnt want them to get kicked out
Cipher (9:28:58 PM): You've made Bryan look like a target
Cipher (9:29:13 PM): You've made me, Bambi, and Maria look like we're aligned together
Cipher (9:29:28 PM): And you've made Bambi feel like we were spreading rumors about her sexuality
Bart (9:29:30 PM): okay i was just paranoid on that one, sorry
Cipher (9:29:34 PM): All in the course of ONE day.
Cipher (9:29:53 PM): I just met you and this is what is in the air. Why be paranoid? You barely know us to be afraid.
Bart (9:30:13 PM): im just really excited to be in this game
Bart (9:30:18 PM): and i need to calm down
Cipher (9:30:24 PM): You really do.
Bart (9:30:34 PM): and i do have to say sorry to u
Cipher (9:30:39 PM): To set it straight, I'm not in any alliance
Bart (9:30:43 PM): because i did not know that u were a guy
Bart (9:30:45 PM): im sorry
Cipher (9:30:59 PM): And I'm the least judgemental person out of all of them.
Cipher (9:31:20 PM): I won't pass judgement on you, but I'll take your actions into account.
Bart (9:31:31 PM): and i dont blame you on that
Bart (9:31:37 PM): i have been stupid
Cipher (9:31:49 PM): I think you owe everyone else an apology.
Cipher (9:31:59 PM): Because they were faster to prosecute you, in their minds, than I was.
Bart (9:32:17 PM): okay i will apologize
Cipher (9:32:26 PM): For your own sake.
Cipher (9:33:15 PM): We have a challenge tomorrow, try to redeem yourself.
Cipher (9:33:29 PM): I recommend you try your best to be there.
Chip52187 (9:33:35 PM): oh, i am good at challenges
Cipher (9:33:42 PM): Good.
Cipher (9:34:17 PM): Tomorrow should be the primary basis of our voting, and I hope everyone will agree.
Bart (9:34:41 PM): yea
Cipher (9:35:31 PM): And I'm not being rude to you, I haven't insulted you at all.
Bart (9:35:57 PM): well, im not sure if i saw what i saw
Bart (9:36:04 PM): but when i was signing off after i talked to u
Bart (9:36:09 PM): i saw that nasty comment you sent me
Cipher (9:36:25 PM): It wasn't nasty, it was honest.
Bart (9:36:57 PM): okay, im going to agree with you, being honest was probably the best thing to do
Cipher (9:37:14 PM): Also, don't think I hate you, or even dislike you
Cipher (9:37:26 PM): I call shots as i see them. I hold nothing against you.
Chip52187 (9:37:33 PM): i've only known u for a day, trust me i dont think anything yet
Cipher (9:37:56 PM): Good. I'll try my best to show respect if you find me rude.
Bart (9:39:30 PM): i know i put myself in a really bad position today, and i would change it if i could, but i will do anything now to redeem myself
Cipher (9:40:23 PM): Good. I'll tell people that you made a mistake if anyone else brings it up.

The group talks about Bart’s actions.

Bart:         while everyone is here i would just like to say something
Maria:         Go for it
Bart:         I would just like to express how evil I was these past few days
Cipher:         Alright.
Bart:         I did things I should not have been doing and I labeled people, when I didn't even get the chance to meet them
Bart:         I would just like to say I am extremely sorry
Bart:         from the bottom of my heart
Cipher:         Well having said that, I'd like to ask why it is you keep calling me rude?
Cipher:         I was never rude to you. You will know when I'm being rude to you.
Bobo:         and may i ask y did u pick the whole group to say sorry and not indivisually?
Maria:         That was nice Bart. I hope everyone is feeling forgiving and full of team spirit. We are winners
Bart:         because individually doesn't mean anything, I think this is an issue that need to be brought up in front of the whole tribe
Bambi:         actually it does ... there is more of a connection when people swallow pride person to person
Cipher:         I agree.
Bobo:         same
Cipher:         You haven't even recognized how you've made us feel.
Cipher:         You're just stating how you feel.
Bart:         i know how i must have made you feel
Bart:         because I know what its like to be made fun of and lied to
Cipher:         This should NOT be about you.
Bambi:         when it's done in front of a group as a group apology, to me, I view it as more of a strategy move .. it's so formal.
Cipher:         And very cliche.
Bobo:         yup
Bobo:         tats y i asked
Cipher:         You apologized even before this, and yet your behavior has not changed.
Bart:         im extremely sorry, that is all i can say to all of you, there really isn't anything i can do to change your minds on how you view me
Cipher:         Are you willing to stop the conniving schemes you've tossed out there?
Bryan:         well goodnight WINNERS off to get some sleep, i am so sorry
Bryan:         i mean sleepy
Maria:         Bye Bye Bryan
Cipher:         Goodnight Bryan
Bart:         bye bryan
Bobo:         later bryan
Bambi:         night Bryan
Bryan:         can't even type right
Bryan:         lol
Bambi:         thank you for your message on the board
Bart:         i am willing to do anything for this tribe
Bryan:         no prob bambi, once again i hope it works out for ya
Bambi:         thanks hon - I'll just get some rest tonight or something lol
Cipher:         Apologies mean nothing to me. If you promise to change, that should be that. Bottom line.
Bobo:         (can someone jsut change like tat?)
Bart:         i will try my damnest to change
Bambi:         Proof is in the pudding as they say.
Maria:         Can we all agree that Bart has a strike against him
Cipher:         I think that's a fair agreement.
Bambi:         agreed
Maria:         Lets just see how he proves himself in the future before we get to harsh
Bart:         and i dont want to get into this
Bart:         but someone here owes maria a personal apology
Maria:         Lets just say 2 strikes and your out so to speak
Cipher:         Don't go there.
Cipher:         Bart, stop while you're ahead.

DAY 3 – BAIKAL


Master Bobo? Making fake conversations?

I had a conversation with Cipher and then with Bart this afternoon. My chat with cipher was very enlightening for several reasons. First he asked me if I was in alliance with Bart after having been told by BoBo that I was. He then showed me a copy of a conversation given to him by Bobo between him and Bart in which Bart is asking him to join alliances with me and him. I assured Cipher that I had made no alliances with anyone and showed him the conversation I had had with Bart earlier. It was Ciphers conclusion that Bobo and Bart were both worthy of a vote and he asked me to decide who to vote for if we lose the challenge. Whomever I chose he would go along with. He says he only trusts me, Bryan and Bambi. I myself only trust myself. The other interesting thing was that in my next chat with Bart he swore to me on his mothers grave that he never included my name in his chat with Bobo even thought I had seen the copy of the chat provided to me by Cipher. That got me to thinking and I realized how naive I could be at times.  Of course I had frontpage I could manupulate any chat I wanted and then send it to anyone as an original. Whether Bobo did that or not I don't know. But Bart sure sound sincere. The Immunity Challenge will help me to decide what to do. I will try to stay alliance free for as long as possible. I do have my doubts about BoBo. There is just something I can't put my finger on that bothers me about him. But who knows who is truthful and who is not or what will happen next. Until the next episode of "As Survivor Siberia Turns"


Bart doesn’t like Bobo anymore.

OMG!!! Bobo has just @#%$ the game up for me. I had a secret conversation with him, and he decided to share it with the other members of the tribe. Well I'm packing my bags… Little Mr. Bobo decided to lie in a chat he sent everyone and bring Maria into this. I can't believe how stupid he is.

Bart then proceeds to diss Cipher.

Wow, that chat was very interesting. I apologized to the tribe for my actions. But, of course nobody is willing to forgive. They want me to change who I am for them, and I really don't want to. Cipher claims he is not rude, yet he fails to relize that he is. Bobo & Cipher have a lot to explain to the tribe, however I cannot get them to confess on the AIM chat with me that they changed. It is unbelievable what people will do to get someone eliminated. I will have to mind my own P's & Q's for the next day. Hopefully I'll come up with some plan to ditch the two idiots of the tribe and keep myself in this game.

                                                                            
SURVIVOR SIBERIA TRIBAL COUNCIL ONE

“Greetings, castaways. You may now reach and grab your torch. Now, bring it into the fire and light it. So long as your torch is lit, you stay in the game, for fire represents life. Once your torch is snuffed, your game is over. With that said, it’s time to vote. Vanessa, you’re up.”
i am voting for eric to be vote of the tible.

i cant. stand eric he is a jerk and a loser

mine vote is for eric,    - VANESSA
Eric didn’t vote. Bad dog. Sit. Stay. Roll over.

(Where's Cindi when you need her?)
My vote tonight is for Vanessa. You have been really mean to almost everyone in our tribe, and you didn't even participate in the challenge. Those are the main reasons, and also, many people will be voting for you tonight. Sorry to do this to you, but you brought it on yourself. See ya later girl. - KIM
My vote tonight is for Vanessa

Vanessa, I am sorry to cast this vote. Personally, I would rather be voting for someone else at this point, but I don't want to single myself out at this point in the game. It's inevitabe that you will be our first victim. Good luck to you in any future games, and I am sorry your stay in Siberia ended so abruptly. - MIKE
VANESSA

I have got to know you the least and hence my vote is for you. If you'd made the challenge this time I might have changed but since you didn't I had little choice. - BLAIR
I'm gonna be voting for Vanessa because she is just being a pain in the ass to everyone. Who the hell died and made her president? Shes seriously a loud mouthed, straight talking, cocky bitched brat. And the sooner shes gone the better. I've heard nothing but crap since she's been here and she'll better be gone ebfore I really get pissed off with her. - JAMES
Vanessa - alls she done is lied
My reason for voting for Vanessa is because she has rubbed people the wrong way and she just did not have the time to bond with everyone in the tribe
In a vote of 6-2, Vanessa, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. A final chat with her has not been scheduled at this time.

                                                                    
        VANESSA'S FINAL WORDS

mine final words: i want to say good luck to everyone in the game.
