       Welcome to tribal council. Not necessarily the place you want to be, but here we are... let's talk about Pete. You made a decision as a tribe to vote off Pete, who appears to be, correct me if I'm wrong, dependable and performs well in challenges. Do you think that the tribe suffered based on that decision? Brenda, Vireo has picked you for the tie-breaker challenge. What does that mean to you, and is that an indication of any sort? Keith, you received a vote at the last tribal council. Are you concerned that it will be you tonight? Laura, Pete obviously wasn't happy about being voted out in what seemed to me as a difficult, difficult tribal council. What are you basing your vote on tonight? Sierra, were you surprised that Alex got voted out in Vireo? Tarzan, in the first time of this game, Elaenia is down in numbers. Does that concern you? Tribal Council will last approximately 24 hours... In this span you must submit your vote (the ballot is in your confessional) and also answer your question. If you do not vote you will receive a self vote (unless you have a boot list). 2 total self votes and you may be removed. Votes are due at 10:00 AM EST tomorrow morning (Sunday)! |

Miss Blanchett, a person's continued survival is contingent on the several trillion cells which make up their respiratory and nervous systems all continuing to function in perfect harmony. If a single one of those trillions of cells were to misfire, the resultant chain reaction can cause instant death. That means that in order to simply sit here and type this post, I must trust quantitatively that every single one of those cells will perform its function with a 100% success rate. That's to say nothing of inexplicable instant organ failure, undetectable brain aneurysm, or any other number of instantly fatal defects which can remain undetected and strike without warning - to say nothing of the invisible airborne bacterial diseases one could inhale.
Couple that with the incredibly risky odds of driving a car, operating any sort of electrical equipment (such as a computer), and the inherent choking risks that are appresented with every swallow of every meal, and it would seem that simply living on this planet puts one a hair's-breadth from the cold abyss of death for every millisecond of their existence. And need I really go into the fact that an incalculable number of planetary-scale objects are whizzing through space towards the Earth at any given moment, and a single impact could instantly snuff out life as we know it?
From that perspective, being down in numbers in an online Survivor game doesn't seem terribly concerning at all.

To start, I'd like to respond to the dependability of Pete. He had a negative attitude inside and outside of challenges, and really brought down the morale of the group. Plus, all members of our tribe performed extremely well. So no, I don't think keeping Pete would have made a difference in the challenge.

Keith, you received a vote at the last tribal council. Are you concerned that it will be you tonight?
I think this is the point in the game where I will be worried every single round I am not immune. I know that I was talked about last round, so I would be surprised if I was not brought up again. It sucks but I think I proved myself in the challenge. We REALLY need to win the next challenge to hopefully go to a merge 5 on 5.

Allie, assuming you truly believe that everyone is pulling their weight. How do you determine who you are going to vote off?

Tarzan, you never cease to amaze me. Does your extra knowledge allow you to run game scenarios that others may not?

Keith, is there someone you think would make winning the next challenge more difficult? Is that how you are going to base your vote?

I'm going to base my vote on what everyone does every vote, I'm just going to do what can best send me further in the game.

Just what I believe is best for me moving forward.

Laura, will the person you are voting for be surprised at all for receiving your vote?

Allie, Keith's mentioned a merge in his response. Are there already talks about a merge and how will that affect tonight's vote?

Most of the talks regarding the merge at this point are about tribal lines. We just want to go in with even numbers, so we have a fair shot. We may very well be screwed if we merge next round, and we're down 6-5.

Sierra, were you surprised that Alex got voted out in Vireo?
Not even a little bit! I called it, I knew he was going home for sure, like why would they vote out one of their own over him? It was such a very stupid unecessary move on his part and what goes around comes around so he totally got what deserved! The problem now is that we have to pay for his mistake in the game and because of him we'll be down in numbers, it just frustrates me! :/
