Hi Joe
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?

1. What were your thoughts on Skylar being voted out of Serpiente? Skylar being voted out was strange and also a relief. I had my suspicion that he had the extra vote and I'm glad he's out of the game so that it can't be used against me or my allies.2. What are your opinions of your tribe compared to a couple of days ago? Has there been a change of opinion? My tribe is still a mess. I definitely think I'm the alpha role which is very unfamiliar territory for me in games. I hope that they dont view me as a threat or liability but more so an asset!
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? My role was to start us off as quick as possible and to assist in any way I could. I spent a lot of time on the challenge just hoping to squeak by with a win and thankfully that was the case. There is still a lot of dead weight in this tribe and I definitely don't want to bring any goats into a merge/switch up.
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? I'm definitely feeling that something will happen after this challenge. Perhaps bringing the groups down to 2 tribes. If thats the case I hope that my new tribe is Purple I also need there to be a good mix. Selfishly I want Rich and Billy to stick with me but I know that if we split up it could potentially help us in the long run.
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 that my tribe knows that they can count on me in a time of need. I hope that it doesnt make me a target at least right now. being a target is the worst thing that can happen but when you are on a tribe with people who are bringing us down at every obstacle you gotta turn up the power. I was hoping to slide by this initial phase with a strong tribe but the likely hood of keeping a low profile is very slim.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. 4 - Billy - I fully trust him and he gives me no reason to not trust him at all 3 - Rich - He's a great guy and thinks long and hard about things, he's trusting but I don't know how long I can keep him if he's smart enough to want to take me out later 2 - Slayer - Talking to this guy is fairly dull at the moment and I hope to see him be voted out at some point 1 - Dashon - This kid is ridiculous. He is not aware of whats going on and he's trying to talk with the other tribes. I'm ready for him to bounce.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? Pre merge should not affect me too much so long as we don't lose more challenges. I'm hoping that I can be social with new tribe mates in a hurry and secure my spot in a solid alliance while also keeping up with Billy/Rich.
Its gonna be tough but no one said Survivor would be easy!

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?
My only thoughts about Dashon was that he was a terrible Survivor player. He really had no idea what was going on and I had very little faith that he would make it out of the first tribal with his new tribe. I'm still not sure what to gather from this "medical evacuation" but I'm glad I don't have to worry about him anymore. I'm really bummed that there wasn't a blind side with the other tribe.
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've been able to make some sort of connection with everyone thus far except for Zavi. Our time difference is really hurting right now so I hope we don't have a live challenge anytime soon. I must have been blessed by the survivor gods to be on the same tribe as Billy and Rich! Cody is great! TJ is nice but brief. I'll need to keep an eye on both him and Kurtis. But jeez, Kurtis does such a swell job with keeping conversation going.
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?
We adapted great. When I saw the challenge I immediately knew what we needed to do but I was at work. Thankfully my tribe had Cody and Billy to pick up the slack. We definitely have some smart cookies on our tribe now!
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?
For my game, winning this tribal immunity is very important! Should we lose I believe the general idea is to get rid of Kurtis and I really dont want that right now. It is important that big players from the other tribe go. I'm looking at Bryan and TQ. Their peso counts were a little high for my taste so I need them to go! I hope that I can help spread that but its tough with the relationships people have. This is Survivor - not Friends! There's no central perk here! I'm tempted to bid on a few items but I'm not entirely sure what I want just yet.
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?
This seems strange but I feel like I'm at the top of the totem pole. And thats not always the best play! I'm going to try and deflect some attention to Billy and Rich so that it doesnt seem like I'm running blue team. Honestly Billy may be playing a bit higher on the totem pole than me too. Kurtis and Zavi are definitely at the bottom.
6. Rank your new tribe-mates from best to worst and briefly discuss your opinions of each player.
New Tribemates
Best to Worst! Cody - We have a great connection and fully trust one another. We have different allegiances but will definitely try and find some common ground. Kurtis - ugh this boy! He's great and we have gotten to know each other pretty well in this short amount of time. I think that it sucks that he's the instant target should we hit tribal. I'm going to try and keep him but not at the expense of my own game. TJ - He's a strong silent type with me but also a sweetheart. However, according to all the pesos he has I know that he is to not be trusted! Zavi - We just haven't had a good conversation. He's my target should we lose a challenge.
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?
There are definitely cracks. I'm going to have to try and make them bigger! Jacob is close to everyone there and while its helpful that I know him and can possibly work with him there is no way I can work with most of the other tribe at merge. However I'm fully aware that there is something that I can do with my ties to Cody and Kurtis. Hopefully they are still around and can help me do my dirty work!
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?
During the first challenge I was definitely in a round-by-round basis due to the fact that I felt my tribe was the weakest. I've since then been planning a lot of things out and can only hope that they come to fruition! The game is long distance, not necessary to sprint and I can only hope that the people who are stronger than me get voted out. It hasn't been the case yet but I definitely foresee it happening in the future.
