Hey survivor friends. I probably won't be at a computer for the tribal but will do my best to phonepost. Was in an accident this morning - nobody was hurt luckily but my car hosed up pretty bad and I'm gonna run out to a body shop to have it checked out. My driver's side door won't open and I feel like an idiot crawling across to the passenger door to get out of the car. :downs:

Anyway I'll do my best to be back here before the challenge starts.

Sexy Swole tribe, welcome to Tribal Council. This is your first time together as a merged tribe. Tonight, this experience may be a bit different, because all of you will be participating in Tribal Council. However, most things remain the same. The person with the most votes will have their torch snuffed, and when your torch goes out, so do your chances of claiming victory and the $75 grand prize.



During tribal council, you will NOT be permitted any outside communication with each other. You may only speak within the confines of the thread. We’re here tonight to have a conversation that will help you decide who you want to vote out of this game.

Similarly, if you are not involved in this Tribal Council, I ask you not to post in the thread during this time.

Once again, I am going to begin with some questions. They could be directed specifically to you, or they could be questions for everyone. I want you to answer the questions that apply to you. I may ask a follow-up question or two. In addition to answering my questions, if you are at Tribal, you are free to communicate, in thread, with each other as much as you'd like.

When you have given me sufficient responses, I will place a ✓ next to your name below, indicating you are approved to send me your vote. You may send your vote any time from that point until Tribal Council closes at 7:00PM. There may be no need to wait until then, or you may want to see what else happens in Tribal before submitting. Once I have received all votes, or once we hit the deadline, I will begin posting the results. If you do not submit a valid vote, your vote will be counted against yourself.

So, let’s get to it.

✓AnAnonymousIdiot, ✓AnonymousNarcotics, ✓Chic Trombone, ✓garthoneeye, ✓imgay, ✓Jato, ✓MMM, Rurea, ✓Strong Mouse... One of you will be going home tonight. You cannot vote for ✓DoggPickle, who purchased immunity in the auction.

Questions for everyone
Last Tribal Council, "original" Swole held 4 votes and "original" Sexy players held 3. Nevertheless, it was a Swole player who was sent home. We now have people reunited who were together on day one, and we also have people that have been together since the shuffle. How do all these relationships blend together to form the alliances that will dictate this vote?

Question for Chic Trombone, DoggPickle, garthoneeye, Rurea
You are the survivors of a tribe that was forced to eat itself. By reaching the merge, have you found temporary salvation? Or is being down in numbers going to keep you on the chopping block?

Question for Strong Mouse, imgay
You both received votes last Tribal. Have you determined who put your name down last time, and are you concerned your name could come back up again?

Last tribal we started thinking ahead about who would be our strongest competitors come merge. Circl, imgay, and strong mouse were all candidates for this reason. In this tribal, I'm hoping super sexy will stick together and a former swolie will go home.

Hey Jeff, how you doing tonight? Since the merge it has been nice to talk to a few people I haven't really had a chance to talk to for a few weeks. If there has been new alliances made, I'm not part of them so that really spooksville. Wish I'd have been more proactive in talking to all the people since the merge, but I'm a slacker.

Question for Strong Mouse, imgay

Um, based on the text from last tribal, Jato said he voted me because I don't quote. As seen here, I'm also not quoting, so his reasoning may in fact continue to vote me tonight. I think my name is in contention since I've been a bit out of the loop. Between you and me, Jeff, I'm real happy about getting Steve Harvey to host our family fued challenge. Thank you for giving me that kindness.

It almost feels like we're starting all over again. I've tried my best to talk to everyone and get a feel for where everyone's head is at. I think tonight's vote is going to come down on who has made an effort to establish relationships and who hasn't.

Question for Chic Trombone, DoggPickle, garthoneeye, Rurea

I was really afraid coming into the merge that we would be slowly picked off. But, now I think we have the opportunity to work with more people and create new bonds. I feel that previous tribal ties have been cast away. Which is reassuring when we were the smaller Ultra tribe.

Right now, I really don't know how most of the votes are going to fall. I think most people are trying to figure out where their alliances lie right now and I don't think anybody is sure what will happen tonight.

I don't know who put my name down last week, and it scared me a little bit when I saw it come up. I am very concerned that my name could come up again. People seem to think I'm a strong player and want to get rid of me now instead of waiting... maybe? That is the feeling I've gotten from talking to other people. I never realized I was a strong player in the first place.

Follow-up question for imgay, Strong Mouse, Rurea, Chic, DoggPickle, and garth:

This wasn't really directed towards me, but... I think most people have a couple of competitors they are thinking of voting, and are waiting to see how things pan out during tribal. Unlike last tribal, I didn't really have the time to do any campaigns to keep people voting for me, so I really hope that doesn't come to bite me.

I'd say that we'd be in a sweeping epic of drama, lust, ambition, pride, and mind-crippling fear; it's like the third act of James Clavell's Shogun. We feel each and every one of us the sudden closeness that occurs when the end is in sight, even if it's a halfway point. For those who feel that have not been present as others, this may be their swan song playing as it seems that while we are trying to move on, we are still holding onto outmoded ideas. Right now, we've settled into Three Kingdoms, and by the end of this all will suffer our wrath. Only time will tell if these budding alliances may settle in this game of Mice and Mystics.

I think I am speaking for the 4 OG swole who were on the other side, that we had no FREAKING IDEA what was going on, and we've been apart longer than we've been together. We made a pretty silly just nodding kind of deal that we'd stick together as Swole, and we held up our end, and nobody bit the apple. Then the other tribe voted out an OG SWole and we were merged almost immediately. That is a heck of an info dump when you get 10 people coming at you with all different stories!

I got freaking LUCKY AS HELL and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I am very VERY happy that I won the necklace at the auction. It was still based on luck. If MMM hadn't traded that one prize (the necklace) he would have had it, but I also think that I did do a good job with my bidding amounts and managed to not tie, without overspending, so I could still bid on things like the letters from home for everybody (cuz I don't have a forums buddy at all) and win that, plus I could still keep bidding my leftovers on anything else. I am obviously not scared "TONIGHT" and I think I'm ok, but it's survivor so I would be like total crazypants if I wasn't worried.

If you're gonna win an immunity, this was the one to have. Because it is honestly pretty crazy right now and I DO NOT KNOW what is going to happen.

Also thank you so much for my letter from home! I didn't really expect to get one, and that was really nice and fun and you would be shocked how much that gives a random stranger a boost in a silly game, and I'm much appreciate that someone took the time to do it :dance:
