Take a seat, welcome back to Tribal Council
With Zavi sitting back at camp it's time to find out who will be the first member of our jury

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.

If I had the power to change something about this merge tribe, I would absolutely do it for my own personal gain and not necessarily for tribal unity (though who's to say the two are mutually exclusive?) It's an individual game at this point, and I have a feeling I'm going to need any advantage I could get.

I think that for the most part the right people left pre-merge. Some players I never even met, so I can't say for sure about them. I think the eliminated player most deserving to still be here would be T.Q., who we just lost, so I guess it all sounds about right.

[Rich Z.]

The game of survivor consists of winning challenges, making connections, executing strategies, and surviving tribal council. I always give my best in challenges and I like to perform well in them. I think that it is easy to say taking it one round at a time is a good strategy, so at this point, I have tried everything I can to make it this far, and if I survive this tribal council, that means I made it another round and became successful in making it to the next round.

I am not sure how to answer this second question, I am not sure if people's definition of right and wrong are the same in the game of survivor, BUT, I have only attended one tribal council, and the most people who got voted out pre-merge, either I did not know or someone who probably wasn't playing the game, hence, they did not make the merge. However, I am not sure how the other tribal councils went but I think that everyone who made it this far deserves to be here and has done something to benefit their game.

I think it is definitely more complicated. There are a few different factors. We were in the new tribes the same length of time as the old tribes, so I really don't think the old tribal lines are to be treated any differently than new ones. Plus there are connections people had prior to the game, so it's pretty much a clusterfuck in my eyes.

All Survivors
Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

I think most of them could have done more to stay in the game, so I'll say for the most part yes. Like John, I'd say TQ is the exception as he was an active and social player and kind of just got screwed.

[Cody]

Cody
Where do you fit within this tribe? Are you feeling safe, excluded, both? Explain.

-oh my good golly gosh! I'm fitting in SO well with everyone! Honestly I've never been with a group of people that love me as much as I love them. It's so much fun! HAHA. Do I feel safe? Hell no, what like probably more than half the tribe wants me gone. That's why we have pesos.


All Survivors
Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

-the right people got voted out for the game ya. But all the wrong people got voted out for MY game.

[T.J.]

What has morale been like in this group of eleven? Is it harmonious or are people hiding in their cliques? Explain.

There are definitely some cliques, but I think most people are trying to branch out. It's nice to have new people to chat with!

Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

At first, I was shocked to hear about TQ getting voted out, but then I heard that he was throwing some major shade, so it's probably for the better that he is gone. I wish Davey was back so that he could keep making alliances with everyone

[sassy]

What's the best way to vote somebody to the Jury without doing too much damage? Is it harder or easier than later in the game? Explain.

I think going with majority so you don't ruffle too many feathers will cause the less damage. It's definitely harder later in the game becuase you start to build relationships with people it's hard to know if you're making the right move, who's going to be bitter and what not.

Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.
I think for my game all the right people left.

Billy
How much of a disadvantage is it to be out of so many Tribals pre-merge? Do you feel a little rusty tonight? Explain.

It can be a disadvantage for sure. The idol adds a whole new element to this game, and we havent really gotten to experience it. But I'm not at all wishing I attended more tribals. I'm cool with how things went.


Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

If someone was voted out, they deserved to go.
That being said, we had a few lolworthy people in this cast. So Its good to know they are gone.

[jacob]

From the start of the game to now, how much have you grown in terms of your overall strategy? Has it changed at all? Explain.

Well my strategy has changed because I have realized that even though there might be a lot of paranoia around camp that you just have to trust people sometimes. I've also been up front with everyone about who I'm voting for this round, I hope if I'm straight forward with people they'll be genuine with me as well.

Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

Yes, I highly disliked Tina and I would hate for her to be in this game right now. 

[kurtis]

Kurtis
You have Immunity thanks to the iSurv1vor Auction, if you didn't have it would you be at risk tonight? Explain.

No, not this round... maybe next round? We'll see what happens after I screen cap my new super secret alliance to everyone...



All Survivors
Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

Meh... I miss TQ, he was my partner an I lurve him. He did get shady so I totally understand why he is gone, but I miss him.

[Joe]

Joe
What's to say that you're not the target tonight? Is there talk of more than one person at risk? Explain.

The target can switch at a moments notice in this game. I know that people have been scrambling trying to figure out how this tribal will go down. There is also always someone at risk with the idol in play so its never a comfortable place in tribal council.


Did the right people leave pre-merge? If not, why not? Explain.

Yes, the people voted out prior to the merge definitely had some sort of attribute that the tribemates here currently didn't want to see in the game. Whether they were voted out for their strength/weakness or intelligence or lack there of, they were voted out for a reason.
