Hi Bryan
Six days in, thirty-three to go!!!
Since a few people asked, we will be doing these questionnaires in your confessionals thread from now on instead. Here is a reminder as to why we are doing this and how this works:
Have fun with these and good luck for the next few days in this game.
Confessional Questions #2:
1. What were your thoughts on Skylar being voted out of Serpiente?
2. What are your opinions of your tribe compared to a couple of days ago? Has there been a change of opinion?
3. Talk about the previous Immunity Challenge, what was your role? What was the biggest disadvantage for your tribe as a whole? What are you doing to prove your worth to the tribe in this weeks Word challenge?
4. Are you expecting a switch/merge soon? What are your expectations/assumptions and is there anybody you wouldn't want to see on your tribe?
5. Your tribe expects nothing but the best from you, are you delivering your full potential? If so, how does that make you a target and if not, how does this make you an easy boot?
6. After these last few days in the game, your opinions of people could start to change, or may have already. On a scale of 1 - 5 (or 4 where applicable), rank your tribe mates. Has this ranking changed? Explain.
7. If you could sum up your thoughts on the person you dislike the most in a meme/gif (without giving a name) what would it be?
8. How much of the pre-merge game is going to come back to haunt you later on?

Confessional Questions #2:1. What were your thoughts on Skylar being voted out of Serpiente? I wish they would have kept him so we could win more challenges. But really, we all figured after he didn't show up and cost them the challenge. I never talked to him. I just know he was Cody's connection. *shrugs* 2. What are your opinions of your tribe compared to a couple of days ago? Has there been a change of opinion? Nope, I still think we work great together and get along well. Dave and Sassy are still on the outside, but I still like them. 3. Talk about the previous Immunity Challenge, what was your role? What was the biggest disadvantage for your tribe as a whole? What are you doing to prove your worth to the tribe in this weeks Word challenge? I was the rescuer, which was cool because I was one of the few on the tribe who understood what was going on with that challenge. I think the biggest disadvantage is that Dave didn't really understand the challenge, but it all worked out when I was able to see the puzzle as give Cody backwards words. In the Words challenge this round, we were all online last night trying to find words (well I wasn't really looking then), but today Cody and I looked at it and chose all the words. It's easier with just one person because there aren't too many suggestions, and it's easier to have us both in the same section of the puzzle. 4. Are you expecting a switch/merge soon? What are your expectations/assumptions and is there anybody you wouldn't want to see on your tribe? Cody fully expects a switch next round, and I guess I'm with him on that seeing as how at least one tribe will be down to four. I agree that we'll split into two tribes of seven. I don't really want Tina on my tribe because she doesn't seem like she knows what's going on most of the time. 5. Your tribe expects nothing but the best from you, are you delivering your full potential? If so, how does that make you a target and if not, how does this make you an easy boot? I think I am delivering. It'll probably make me a target, but I'd rather our tribe be safe and threatening than us looking weak and losing players. 6. After these last few days in the game, your opinions of people could start to change, or may have already. On a scale of 1 - 5 (or 4 where applicable), rank your tribe mates. Has this ranking changed? Explain. 1. Cody - This is because he's the most active and is really awesome to work with in the challenges. Glad he's in my alliance. 2. TJ - He's more active now as well, and I like talking to him. Candy Crush. 3. Sassy - I just think she's adorable. 4. TQ - I like him a lot as well. He's only this low because it's a tiny tribe. 5. Dave - Still like him, but he was telling us all exactly the same things in our chats with him. 7. If you could sum up your thoughts on the person you dislike the most in a meme/gif (without giving a name) what would it be? 8. How much of the pre-merge game is going to come back to haunt you later on? Probably a shit ton thanks to these pesos.

After a crazy previous round, it looks like this game is finally on!
Confessional Questions #3:
1. In a rare turn of events, we had a player be pulled from the game. What are your thoughts on Dashon being "medically evacuated" out of New La Arana?
2. Last round, the tribes were switched-up and we gave you guys a break from answering this questionnaire in order to take in the new changes and to get to know your new tribe-mates. How have you made use of this opportunity and how have you managed to bond with the new members of your tribe?
3. There was a lot of confusion during the last immunity challenge and in an iSurv1vor series first, a challenge was scrapped. How quickly did you adapt to this change? What were your initial thoughts of this change from your point of view within the game, given the dynamics of the tribal shuffle?
4. Let's talk about this auction. How important is tribal immunity this round? Are there any items catching your eye? How would you finesse bidding on tribal immunity and making a bid on an item that could further your own game alone?
5. Where do you fit in on your new tribe? Are you on the top, somewhere in the middle, or do you find yourself struggling at the bottom at this point in time? Do you see your fortunes changing anytime soon?
6. Rank your new tribe-mates from best to worst and briefly discuss your opinions of each player.
7. Now that you have discussed your own tribe, what do you think of the opposing tribe? Do you think they are unified, or do you think there might be some tension or cracks that you might be able to exploit in future?
8. Now that we are getting closer and closer to a merge, have you been planning for the long haul or have you been taking it round-by-round so far? What are your next plans moving forward?

1. In a rare turn of events, we had a player be pulled from the game. What are your thoughts on Dashon being "medically evacuated" out of New La Arana?
I was really surprised! I was gearing up for an intense TC with idols making a difference and a tie occurring, so it was a bit of a shocker. I really don't know how he could have been cheating since changing votes just penalizes you. *shrugs* We wanted to vote him out anyway, so it's actually pretty awesome.
2. Last round, the tribes were switched-up and we gave you guys a break from answering this questionnaire in order to take in the new changes and to get to know your new tribe-mates. How have you made use of this opportunity and how have you managed to bond with the new members of your tribe?
I was wondering why we didn't get these last round. I am really trying to connect with everyone. The idols at every TC make me want to have zero enemies so that my odds of being idol'd out are as low as possible. I think I'm doing really well bonding with the Serpientes on my tribe. I also talked to Slayer a little bit, but then when he wants to talk about game, I try to talk to him, and then he doesn't respond. I just wanna be on everyone's good side and think I'm doing that quite well so far.
3. There was a lot of confusion during the last immunity challenge and in an iSurv1vor series first, a challenge was scrapped. How quickly did you adapt to this change? What were your initial thoughts of this change from your point of view within the game, given the dynamics of the tribal shuffle?
I understood the challenge and didn't really care about the area score, and I did really well on my part of it, so I was mad when it changed. I found out the Serps wanted to throw it anyway to save Kurtis, so it didn't matter overall. I also didn't mind because I had already made good connections over here, and Dashon and Slayer were making it easy.
4. Let's talk about this auction. How important is tribal immunity this round? Are there any items catching your eye? How would you finesse bidding on tribal immunity and making a bid on an item that could further your own game alone?
I'd certainly like to win tribal immunity this round so we can keep Slayer around. I don't know how close I am to the bottom of the tribe and would like to keep him around as a buffer/easy vote since we could still be in tribes for three more rounds. Also, I don't know if TJ, Kurtis, or Cody will be going if we win it, which is one of the cons. I love the black rock. I think it could be useful if I need to oust someone with a lot of pesos who is really strong. Since I'm not good at orchestrating blindsides, it could be useful.
5. Where do you fit in on your new tribe? Are you on the top, somewhere in the middle, or do you find yourself struggling at the bottom at this point in time? Do you see your fortunes changing anytime soon?
I really can't say for sure. The alliance on my tribe is all of us minus Slayer. I am aligned with TQ and Sassy within that alliance, so I guess I'd be in the middle. There's no telling what the Serps are thinking though. I hope it doesn't change because I like being in the middle at the beginning. It makes me less of a target.
6. Rank your new tribe-mates from best to worst and briefly discuss your opinions of each player.
1. Sassy - Showmance. She said I can come to Europe with her. That would be wonderful. I just need to get a passport. 2. TQ - I put these two at the top because I've been with them the longest and trust them the most on this tribe. However, I don't know if TQ is more loyal to the Aguila alliance or the Hotboiis (ew) 3. John - It has recently come to my attention that I actually trust him the most of the Serps. And he lives in Ohio and grew up near me and his dad taught at the city next to mine! This is, like, unbelievable because I live in the fucking middle of nowhere, and nobody ever knows what my town is. <3 4. Jacob - I really like him as well but just trust the others more. Oh, Jacob. What a cutie. I hope you find your big, dumb muscle jock. 5. Slayer - I talked to him a wee bit but didn't get anywhere. He also posted in the group Skype chat that he needed to talk to me. Nice guy though.
7. Now that you have discussed your own tribe, what do you think of the opposing tribe? Do you think they are unified, or do you think there might be some tension or cracks that you might be able to exploit in future?
I think that tribe is overflowing with tension. They are all unified against Kurtis for now, but there are a few power players on that tribe probably making moves to become the alpha male.
8. Now that we are getting closer and closer to a merge, have you been planning for the long haul or have you been taking it round-by-round so far? What are your next plans moving forward?
I've been taking it by round til now, and now I'm trying to figure out with whom, if I make the merge, will I have better chances of reaching the top. My plans til the merge are just to not be on the bottom of the tribe, which I think I am doing fine now. I am hoping that the Serps on my tribe would rather take out TQ and that Sassy and TQ will wanna take out the Serps. For now though, Slayer is at the bottom, so I'm ok.
