Jill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Yeah I would say that is accurate, both Jane and Jimmy J have been fairly abrasive... If Jimmy T shows up and isn't as much of a jackass as those two then we'd be alright.

I just saw Jimmy T online, and he appears to have posted in his partners confessional. I'm talking to Chase about the possibility of getting our two groups together. I think if you're aligned with Yve (or whoever he tells me is his partner), then we could possibly get a four way alliance going across the tribes.

Oh, and at this point, I'm pretty sure everyone will be aware that we're on the same side, so if you're thinking about telling someone you trust about us being partners to solidify the bond, I'd say do it now, because it will be common knowledge before the challenge :P

Confirming Yve is in fact Chase's partner, and Chase is willing to work with us. Are you willing to work with Yve?

Yes definitely, Yve is one of the people I have talked to the most, we have already got a little pairing already so this is perfect.

That's so awesome, I'm excited just thinking about it :D We're going to dominate this game <3

Woohoo Exile Island Alliance redux! <3 , except more successful :P

Fo sho! How's your day been? Looking forward to the challenge?

Hey Jill, if you could share the idol clue, that would be great. I'm fairly certain the password will be something about a historical figure relating to Patagonia that made a crucial mistake, as that's what the theme of this season is.

Ted! What is happening! I missed the challenge and come back to this?! Are there any of my new tribemates that you think would be willing to work with me? On your tribe, most of the people you have are pretty cool... Dan was someone I talked a lot with, he knows I'm your partner... Maybe working with him could be good?

ps this is the idol clue:
Welcome to Patagonia, we hope you'll stay a while
But you know to make the end, that it will take some guile
And if you need some help, just in case you're wrong
Take a look around here- it may make your stay here long

Any ideas? If we could both get idols, that would be AWESOME!

Is there anything clickable in the post? It may be referring to a literal thing you should be looking for near the clue, unlikely as that seems.

Nope nothing clickable, maybe a Patagonian explorer? Maybe the word guile is key?

Yeah, I was also thinking explorers. Maybe somebody that went to the tip of Argentina or Chile or something? I'm not sure. I'm still pretty sure they probably made a mistake.

Yeah, there are a lot on the wiki... But so far the ones that I have tried haven't worked.

ps. Working out from the swap who is partners with who:
Jill/Ted (the best)
Yve/Chase
Jane/Russell
Jimmy J/Erica
Holly/Jolanda
Dan/Fabio
Tyrone/Ken
Wendy/Jake
Marty/John
Jimmy T/Brook

Yeah, that's what I got. It looks like Holly lied to you about being with Fabio yesterday :P

Haha well tbh it was actually Dan who told me about being with Fabio... I wasn't too sure if I could trust you and I didn't want to reveal my hand too much... It was a shitty thing to do and I'm sorry. You've proved yourself to me now because you've been nothing but helpful but I have got to admit I was wary going into it. Anyway, if there is anything I can do to prove myself to you I'd be happy to do it... I am all in for working with you at the merge now but I'll be honest that before I had reservations.

Ah, that's understandable. How are you finding your new tribemates, and what is the dynamic like over there? Is it Newbies vs. Vets, or are you over that hurdle?

I'm not sure what the dynamic is. Once again Jimmy J is a complete wildcard so there's no way I can trust the newbies to stick together. I'm trying to pull together a new alliance, apparently there is a rift between Brook and John? Maybe I'll be able to work on that.

I think the bigger rift is between Ken and John. That's the one you can manipulate. John and Brook are more likely to begrudgingly work with each other, but Ken was actually campaigning for John to go. My advice is that you only need to flip one vet whether it's ten on the tribe or nine, so if you need to vote Jimmy J out now as a compromise, you can definitely get away with it. Be sure to let me know if you lose a challenge and find yourself in serious trouble.
