[6:45:53 PM] Anie Barkley:
[6:46:07 PM] Anie Barkley: I will be working all weekend too but yeah.
[6:46:37 PM] Host iS Mandy: its still early in the game, but if I had to chose one person in our alliance, i'd say you were my ride or die. I want to stay closest to you. I'm not sure how you feel, but I figured i'd throw it out there
[6:47:16 PM] Anie Barkley: Actually! I feel the same way! I trust you the most so far! and feel like i can tell you anything!!!!
[6:47:34 PM] Anie Barkley: I honestly feel bad though too--becuase the next week is going to be so crazy for me.
[6:47:47 PM] Anie Barkley: SO don't die for me. LOLOLOLOLOL let me die for you
[6:48:57 PM] Host iS Mandy: ok awesome!!! I'm glad we're on the same page
[6:49:04 PM] Anie Barkley:
[6:50:35 PM] Host iS Mandy: so since we're on the same page and I know I can trust you, I want to let you in on a little secret.
[6:51:25 PM] Anie Barkley: OKay! I also wanted to tell you something too
[6:51:33 PM] Host iS Mandy: next Saturday i'm going on vacation to Europe with my parents. they surprised me with this trip, but I'm going to remain active and I paid extra with Verizon so I can stay in touch with everyone
[6:51:58 PM] Host iS Mandy: I didn't want to tell everyone bc I don't want to give everyone areason to vote me out
[6:52:31 PM] Anie Barkley: I know Caroline and Sherry text often. So it makes me feel like they are possibly pretty close? Though I don't think it even matters becuase they're in our alliance. Just something to think about I guess?
Oh my gosh!!!!!!! That is awesome!!! COngrat!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!
[6:52:36 PM] Anie Barkley: Where in EUrope are you gong?
[6:52:38 PM] Anie Barkley: *going
[6:53:07 PM] Anie Barkley: I really really like everyone in our 6 allaince btw.
Like I hope we all get really far!!!
[6:53:11 PM] Anie Barkley: Especially the girls. like
[6:53:18 PM] Anie Barkley: idk it would be awesome if a girl won!
[6:53:44 PM] Host iS Mandy: yeah sherry and caroline are pretty close, so they may split off.. but that's ok, bc we're pretty much doing the same thing in a sense, but under the radar.
[6:53:57 PM] Host iS Mandy: and i'm going to Barcelona, Florence, Rome and Venice
[6:54:29 PM] Anie Barkley: Yeah, like it's totally okay becuase it's SO early in the game. LOL everyone does it. I just noticed it and thought to tell you just in case it comes in handy later down the road in the game.
OMFG OMFG
[6:54:31 PM] Anie Barkley: I AM JEALOUS!
[6:54:35 PM] Anie Barkley: that sounds amazing!
[6:55:39 PM] Host iS Mandy: sherry kinda indirectly told me how close her and caroline are bc I was on call with her and she was like "me and caroline have been texting a lot" and said she had to text her about something lol... but yeah... it could be an issue down the line
[6:56:16 PM] Anie Barkley: LOL
[6:56:18 PM] Anie Barkley: oh well. haha
[6:56:19 PM] Host iS Mandy: and aww yeah I'm so excited

[6:56:34 PM] Anie Barkley: Yeah! no i think that is a good idea n ot to tell people just in case.
[6:56:40 PM] Anie Barkley: I hope you have a lot of fun!
[6:56:49 PM] Host iS Mandy: thank you
[6:57:18 PM] Host iS Mandy: oh another thing..
[6:57:32 PM] Host iS Mandy: I don't plan on losing this challenge, but IF something happens...
[6:57:43 PM] Host iS Mandy: i don't think getting rid of Kieran just yet is the best.
[6:58:03 PM] Host iS Mandy: morgen is really annoying with her hot and not bs and i don't feel like shes very helpful at ties
[6:58:04 PM] Anie Barkley: Yeah actually. He seems really nice, honestly
[6:58:05 PM] Host iS Mandy: times*
[6:58:22 PM] Anie Barkley: Yeah I agree with you. LOL and I think a lot of people also agree for the sounds of it.
[6:58:35 PM] Anie Barkley: I'm sure we can bring it up as a group and people would be down.
[6:58:39 PM] Anie Barkley: And it would be easy to tell Kieran
[6:58:47 PM] Host iS Mandy: oh yeah for sure
[7:01:25 PM] Host iS Mandy: glad we're on the same page about everything so far
[7:01:32 PM] Anie Barkley: I am too!
