Welcome to Tribal Council...

We'll now bring in the members of our Jury...



The Jury are not to be addressed, they're here to gather information.

Below you will find a set of questions addressed to everyone. Everyone must reply below with their answer and if you do not - you will receive a self vote. Also, there’s a group of questions that everyone in the tribe must answer. All questions are to be a response in this thread. Please feel free to say what's on your mind, express yourself because this might be your last opportunity to possibly change your fate in this game. You're actively encouraged to talk amongst yourselves in Tribal... you're the ones calling the shots!

After an individual has answered their questions please go into your confessional and cast your vote in your voting thread.

Below you will find a blank piece of parchment. Save it to your computer and decorate it however you wish, but please include the name (or nickname) of the person you are voting out. When you are done decorating, save the parchment again, upload it, and post this in your confessional as your vote. Accompany this parchment with a reason.

Kurtis
Typically in Survivor the Final 7 is one of the last opportunities for a big move to occur. Are you taking up this opportunity tonight? Explain.

Bryan
Jacob and Billy both bit the bullet the same night. Has the game changed since their departure? Explain.

It has definitely changed. They were both strong players and were both a huge part of their alliances. I think the game has changed in that it no longer feels like two sides with a couple caught in the middle. Those two going so quickly has made it that way.

Zavi. Probably just because I've chatted with him the least, and because of that challenge with the weapons and first aid kits.

ETA: I think this thread is named the wrong way. Haha

[sassy]

Do you think the last challenge revealed any sort of alliance or pecking order within the tribe? Explain.

Oh definitely. It's a good way to kind of get some what of an idea of who's gunning for who, and where you stand in the game.

Kurtis, because he can't even throw a fucking coconut to save his life.

It feels really great because it is fun
My last words? You will see my last words <3

Bryan - Maybe just because we talked at least ... but when we talked it was because I tryed (I writte first) so thats not my fault

Of course I am!

Sassy. She chose me first. lolol

[Rich Z.]

It was so sad to see Billy go last tribal council. When Cody got voted off, I had a feeling that it Billy and myself were the next to go. I had to bid on the idol, but I guess it didn't matter as Billy had the majority of votes against him. I was not shocked that he got the boot, my reaction was just that I knew I had to win immunity challenges to stay longer in the game.

Everyone has done something to make it this far. Whether it is winning challenges, making alliances, or simply just their social game, it is something that we all worked hard for. Since I have to name a person, I would say Zavi. I haven't talk to him much in terms of the aspect of the game, therefore, I'm not sure what he has done really to make it this far.

[T.J.]

How important is this vote tonight, and what are you basing your vote on? Explain.

I think this vote is extra important. I feel like nobody really trusts anyone else anymore, and there aren't any solid lines drawn in the sand. This vote will show where everyone stands.

Probably Rich. I feel like he was carried for a while, and now that his alliance is gone, he has only lasted this long because of circumstantial things, not much his own doing.

[Joe]

Four people are on the jury now. As you vote these castaways out, do you consider how you're going to convince them to vote for you to win if you make it to the end? Explain.

I think it gets harder and harder each time we get through a vote. With the way I've been getting through the rounds I'm convinced that I've got a lot of work to do to get votes from the remaining tribemates as well as the current jurors. I have to approach each person as a potential vote for or against me. Its hard!

Kurtis is an incredibly likable guy. So I definitely think that he's getting by with his charm and conversation but thats alright there are others that are doing the same. He's done the least in regards to playing the game but has done a lot socially.
