[Tarzan Smith]

A hearty greeting to you, Miss Blanchett! It is certainly an honor to be conducting an interview with a person so glamorous as yourself.

Round 1

1. How do you think your tribe is compared to the other tribe?

The syntax of this question is rather confusing.

If you mean to say, "By what methodology would one compare your tribe to the other one," I would respond that I think that you would have to evaluate both people groupings based on a number of factors and view both of the resultant data pools in order to formulate various hypotheses about the tribe.

If you mean to say, "How do you think that your tribe will fare compared to the other one," I would respond that I believe that we shall fare rather well. All of our members were quite good in the challenge, with the exception of half of them, and the ones that weren't stellar have demonstrated their prowess in alternative fashions, e.g. their conversational skills and/or the ratio of their frequency of their availability on AIM to the quality of their thoughts, etc. The other tribe contains several individuals who I would not hesitate to classify as subpar, and I believe that we stand a very significant chance of defeating them.

2. Who do you think would mutiny on both tribes and why?

I don't believe that anybody is allowed to mutiny on both tribes, on account of only being on one tribe. I would postulate that if anybody would mutiny from Vireo, it would probably be Ken or Ashby, they seem the most likely candidates at this juncture. Unless someone from Elaenia has pre-existing connections to the other tribe, I would say that only Keith would have reason to jump ship, but it is much more likely that nobody will choose to mutiny and we will lose Heidi for having the worst showing in the initial challenge. Such a turn of events would leave us bereft of an easy first boot, but other than that would be rather unremarkable.

3. Who are you the closest to on your tribe and why?

I am closest to Sierra, according to the memory wall.

4. Who do you like the least on your tribe and why?

Keifer has been socially inactive, and I do not enjoy him. Alvin has been making several rude comments to the ladies of the tribe, and suggesting things of a sexual nature, which I believe is neither conducive to feminist ideals or tribe harmony. And, if some of the things he suggested involving salsa verde were to come to pass, our tribe's hygienic standards would suffer severely as well.

5. Carrot cake or Cheese cake?

Cheese cake. For the love of afootness, cheese cake.

Round 5

1. What impact does Alex switching tribes have on the game?

2. Who are your allies at this point?

3. Who do you want out soon?

4. How safe do you feel going forward?

[Tarzan Smith]

I'm afraid I overlooked this.

1. What impact does Alex switching tribes have on the game?

Well, it would appear that I have overplayed myself on that front. It was I who told Alex that he was doomed if he stuck with Elaenia, and encouraged him to change tribes. Apparently he was doomed either way, which was a most unfortunate turn of events. If that gamble had paid off, the dividends would have been astronomical.

2. Who are your allies at this point?

Allie is currently my most trusted ally, but I also trust Laura and to a lesser degree, Brenda. I don't particularly trust the other tribe, after what they did to Alex.

3. Who do you want out soon?

I'd love to break up the power grouping of Chris, Ashley, Jeff, and Kel, by any means possible.

4. How safe do you feel going forward?

As unsafe as a person can possibly feel. Given my prior explanations regarding the concerns of imminent death, you can imagine how fearful that prospect must actually be.
