iSurv1vor 18: Mexico Questionnaire

[adrian]

Hi TQ

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:

Below is a questionnaire we plan on implementing after every tribal council in order to get some feedback and insight from you in this game. We will be sharing these questions and answers with the audience in the alumni hangout, so answering these could them see you as a worthy contender for the weekly MVP prize - so feel free to answer as colourfully as you want to.

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?
At first I was SO happy that Skylar was voted out. Mainly because it forced Cody to fully trust me. However, I'm wishing he had stayed in because there are not that many couples left, which only increases the size of Kurtis and my targets.

2. What are your opinions of your tribe compared to a couple of days ago? Has there been a change of opinion?
There hasn't been a change in opinion or tribe dynamic. We still are working together well, and just doing what we think is best in challenges. I still haven't had a full conversation with Sassy though...... and she said she wants to align with me. Color me confused.

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 in the last Immunity Challenge was simply to help get through my cage. Which we didn't. Lmao. I felt like the anagram was wrong, but now I can't even remember. Who cares WE STILL WON. As far as for the Word challenge, I was absolutely NO HELP at all. I told Cody I suck at word challenges... which really I don't.. I just had a busy couple of days and needed an excuse to not help. Maybe if I had helped we would have won, but honestly, I wanted to go to TC.

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?
Lol... posting this after the merge has been announced, but yes I was expecting a merge. And now that I read this question, I would have expected it even more! I don't really care who's on my tribe... but I don't want Sassy. At all. Unless Kurtis is there too. But I kinda hope Kurtis and I AREN'T on the same tribe, just so it doesn't put a target on our back. UNLESS... if Joe/Jacob are on there too, then we could definitely get a majority. Assuming Jacob doesn't self-vote...

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 didn't deliver full potential on the word challenge, but other than that I've been giving 100%! I may not be around much because of work, but I try my hardest and I think I've been part of the reason why we won twice.

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
2-Bryan
3-TJ
4-Dave
5-Sassy

Yep. Cody has moved up. He told me the other day that he wants a final 2 deal with me. Soooo, that ups his trust for sure. And Bryan and TJ I haven't seen on much lately, so we just haven't been able to talk. I'd still prefer one of the two of them to Cody (just cuz they're super hot. Both of them. Yes.), but Cody is like a loyal puppy and I love puppies. <3

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?
The one ORG girl who is actually a girl... is a bitch.

8. How much of the pre-merge game is going to come back to haunt you later on?
Probably a little bit of it. Sassy may spread things about me saying that we never talked and then try to target me. I hope not, but we shall see.

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?

Hahahahaha... what the fuck. Well I'm glad he was, I guess. But he was going to help me get Jacob out without any blood on my hands. So I guess that sucked... but I didn't really need him around anyway.

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 definitely have bonds with each of the tribe members I think. I think that's good, but I think once people start realizing it, it'll put a target on my back. I'm sure there's one already, but I'm trying to play the likeable, nice guy that's gonna screw you over without you knowing it. We'll see how this works.

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 honestly had no idea the challenge was being redone hahaha.... by the time I realized it, we had already lost the challenge. Oh wells. Work got in the way.

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?  
VERY important. But we lost. So oh well. I only wanted the break one because I'm moving and stuff. Whatever about the rest of them. I didn't bid on the tribal immunity. I honestly didn't care if we lost, and it keeps Kurtis safe one more round so that's good.

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 think everyone trusts me, which is scary. The only one that I think doesn't would be Sassy since we're still talking about as much as we used to. Hopefully she'll go this round. Or whoever. I don't care as long as it's not me.

6. Rank your new tribe-mates from best to worst and briefly discuss your opinions of each player.
1--John--I trust John the most, although I really want him out actually. It's best to keep him around though, because in the merge, he'll hopefully help me out. Although now he has help on an immunity challenge. That's scary. Definitely increases his threat level A LOT.
2--Bryan--I love Bryan! Although he's been kind of invisible this round. Guess he's busy. Hopefully he doesn't leave. Like I said before though, as long as its not me.
3--Slayer--I don't know why he's up this high. I guess it's because I'm putting trust in him this round with the information I gave him. I don't think he'll vote me *knock on wood*, but I don't know if he's actually going to vote Sassy like I want him to. I could honestly see him voting for Jacob.
4--Jacob--Poor fella. He tries so hard. He's actually pretty scary. He's got huge connections on the other side. I don't really want to keep him around, however it'll be a nice balance between his hatred for Cody and the apparent divide between him and his partner Joe. That'll hopefully keep me and Kurtis out of the limelight.
5--Sassy--Who? Lol... she's never here. Or at least not when I am. We don't talk and I don't trust/know her.

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 definitely think they're unified. Against Kurtis. Lmao. After that last thing he did, he's not gonna regain any trust from them. The goal now is just making sure we both make it to merge. And he got the individual immunity, so that'll help him a lot!

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 doing both! You have to in these games. I really don't know what the future holds, but you have to plan for the best and worst case scenarios... and everything in between. My next plans moving forward are to simply get Kurtis and I to the merge. Then from there, use our relationships with Cody, Jacob, Joe, John, etc. to stir things up and keep the focus off of us.
