Episode #1 ~ "I'm Baaaccckkk"

[Darrah Johnson]

Whohooo!!! Guess what? I'm Baaaccckkk!!! Haha. Whoever would've guessed that my early dismissal from Pearl Islands vs. China would've landed me a spot as a Hero in this ultimate battle of Heros vs. Villains of the "Vs." series!!! I'm extremely excited and grateful to be back. I'm ready to get the ball rolling.

Bring it on!

[Darrah Johnson]

So far, I'm really enjoying everyone on my tribe. They are all total sweethearts. I can totally see why they would be considered heroes!

I've really made a connection with Parvati, Kel and Kelly thus far. However, that doesn't mean I don't connect with anyone but them - it just simply means we have hit it off in a stronger way than the others.

I've spoken to pretty much everyone on my tribe, except Chicken. Hopefully he and I will be able to converse with one another soon.

Whohoo! Lets go Heroes, Lets go!

[Darrah Johnson]

Not going to lie but I'm quite relieved to see that Osten won't be returning. I was worried at first because of his aggressive nature that he would seek me out to have his way with me, like he did in Pearl Islands. The only down fall about him not playing this season is the fact that I won't be able to redeem myself in taking him out! I want the Heroes to win, so I have a new goal that's more positive and less vicious in nature.

[Darrah Johnson]

Kel, Parvati, Jenn and I have formed an alliance. I must say that I'm extremely ecstatic about this. I absolutely adore all three of them and can truly see why they are all considered heroes. They are nothing but class acts and I feel honored to be playing and aligning myself with them.

First Immunity today. I have a feeling Heroes may walk away with a victory for the first one. *knock on wood* don't want to count my eggs before they hatch, but you know It'd be nice if we were to walk away victorious and Villains had to oust out two people or maybe even three!

[Darrah Johnson]

I have a strong feeling about my performing in the challenge. I think I fair pretty well in the standings of my tribe too.

Chicken has been MIA until today, which cause him to be the first one voted out. Unless IBE and ROBB don't ever do the challenge - then most likely one of their or both of their asses will be out of the game this first go around.

I really would rather lose one person opposed to two but we'll see how the cookie ultimately crumbles. I have so so much faith in the heroes it's not even funny!

[Darrah Johnson]

Ahh! Heroes have successfully finished the immunity challenge and it feels damn good! I knew our tribe was a tribe of golden competitors!

I'm worried though... I gotta admit... because Kel, a member of my alliance - has mentioned to me that he has an awful challenge time. I don't want people targeting him.

The easy vote would've been for Chicken but I also have a funny feeling he scored really well, which will then land him individual immunity this go around!

Oh, what to do what to do.

[Darrah Johnson]

I'm feeling rather villainous - Eek! Bad Darrah, Bad! Haha. I keep smiting Jenn from having high karma. I know she's a part of my alliance and all but I don't want her to have an idol. I need to make sure I'm in the first position to get an idol before her! lol... Selfish I know, but this game gets the best of us, Hero or Not.

[Darrah Johnson]

Kel is becoming rather frustrating to deal with. He's running around like a chicken with his head chopped off. He got a time of six hours in the challenge and is worried that the rest of us are going to view him as a weak link.

Why would he think this? We already have an alliance: Jenn, Parvati, Him and Myself... That's four of the eleven. We all know how to use our communication skills to our advantage so why is he freakin'?

Eek! He is scaring me with his paranoia.

[Darrah Johnson]

YES! YES! and YES!

I'm doing really well in this game right about now. I am sitting pretty! Not to sound cocky... but I have people wanting to work with me left and right.

MY CORE ALLIANCE IS: Kel, Parv, Jenn - my loyalty lies with them.
SWING VOTE: Chicken (raising our numbers to 5)

But then I was talking to Ibe and he proposed we start to get an alliance together and I completely beated around the bush. But if he wants to think we are together, that's his thing... but I never agreed. But it's nice to know I have Kelly and Ibe in my back pocket.

John, Elisabeth, Natalie, Gary, Robb all seem to be left out of the look at this rate.
