I mean I think zat Cheddar and Jenny both did great jobs. Cheddar especially. Does zis mean zat I am more favorable towards zem? Cela n'est pas nécessairement vrai. I am more favorable towards Cheddar zan I was, but not becuase of ze challenge, but because I think zat Cheddar sees me as a potential ally and we transitioned into gametalk. M. Grouch ees still my closest ally, and M. Grouch wants to form something between ze two of us and Mlle Judy.

My least favorite on ze tribe is now Mlle Jenny because I know zat she is online, I can see 'er, and I saw 'er compete in ze challenge, but she 'as not PMed me for a very long time, and based on a conversation with M. Grouch, I am under ze impression zat she might 'ave a problem with ze manner in which I speak. I will see what I do about zat, if anything, but if I could eliminate anyone from ze game at zis point, eet would be 'er.

Zat ees am excellent question, M. Scooby. I usually rely on my good friend Hastings, but in zis game, my Hastings equivalent ees probably M. Grouch. 'Owever, I 'ave learned over ze years as a detective to remain suspicious of all, even zose who seem to be closest to you, so I will remain ever-vigilnat and constantly apply ze leetle grey cells.

After only one day of playing zis game, I'm finding myself thinking in ze accent of Hercule Poirot. It doesn't help zat I've been binge-reading a Poirot novel every other day for ze past few weeks. I don't know zat my typing is perfectly capturing ze accent in my 'ead, but I'm trying to get as close as I can.

In other news, I have initiated an alliance with M. Grouch. M. Grouch, M. Lucifer, M. Cheddar, and I all seem to agree zat we are ze four most active, so I would not be surprised if we took control of zis tribe. I do not love M. Cheddar and some of M. Lucifer's recent PMs have rubbed me ze wrong way as well, but if zat ees ze path zat guarantees my safety through zese first few votes, zen zat will be ze path zat I take.

I enjoy Mlle Hopps a lot, and I hope zat she is able to step up ze activity levels to ze point where I don't have to stick out my neck too much to save her. I suspect zat Quentin will probably be ze first target on zis tribe based on what I 'ave seen so far and ze way zat people speak about 'im, which I have no problem with.

My tribe ranked at zis point in time:

1. M. Grouch
2. Mlle Judy
3. M. Lucifer
4. M. Cheddar
5. Mlle Jenny
6. M. Quentin

Zat is where I am currently at, but ze only two I genuinely like at zis point are M. Grouch and Mlle Judy. M. Lucifer I can tolerate, and M. Cheddar, Mlle Jenny, and M. Quentin are all actively difficult to converse with. Mlle Jenny also loves M. Cheddar, which ees quite annoying.

Our tribe seems to be ze least active, which suits Poirot perfectly fine. Eet makes me feel better about not 'aving to do much to survive eet.

But still, seeing ze whole other tribes online while I am getting no messages ees triste.

Salut, spectateur Heiji!

My strategy is to have zem underestimate ze strength of ze great Hercule Poirot! Eet may sound incroyable, but even as I tell zem about my genius, zey laugh behind ze back of ze silly foreign man. And zen, when ze moment is right, I will do what must be done.

Mlle Jenny from her first message to me seems to find my gimmick très embêtant, most irritating, so per'aps she will be ze first to die at ze hands of Hercule Poirot. Only time will tell...

Mlle le lapin and M. le diable are both most amiable, so zey could be potential allies, but we shall 'ave to see.
