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

Comments? At least some of you are now officially named targets, and if not you, it could be someone from your bloc. Is this something you didn't know? Do you have this under control?

I've known since the challenge was over that I was going to be back on the chopping block. I hope to have it under control, but like I just said, I didn't have much time for campaigning these last few days.

Fast Luck posted:

Kind of a repeat of my previous post, but what's your response to the argument that you're too big a threat to be kept around?

I kind of want to know how other people see me as a threat. There were multiple challenges that I wasn't able to participate in. There have been plenty of times where I haven't been overly social. Why am I a threat to everybody?

It's been such a short time since the merge that I feel we haven't had time to see where people are in terms of alliances with original tribemates. I'm not really sure who is gonna be going home tonight.

YES! You might in fact say the game is afoot! You might also say that people need to be present or they may never wake up again.

I had a feeling this was the sentiment of at least some people from Ultra Sexy. I think that I've done enough so that I won't be going at least.

Hey Jeff, thanks for your concerns. I'd like to mention that I have nothing under control. I'm sure there are many things I don't know in the magical island we inhabit. I hope to be able to follow my heart to access my dreams into tomorrow and stay in the game of friendship and love and eventually getting betrayed.

I'm going to pick on you a bit, because this is sort of a weak answer.

You might dodge this question, which is to be expected, but perhaps you can at least respond to the sentiment... Do you have an alliance that you think you can count on? Can that alliance pull six votes tonight, the number it'd take to be guaranteed to control the vote? Have you thought at all about what you can do within that six to eventually make it to the end?

Heh sorry. As I said my day isn't going too well and I'm just trying to phonepost some answers so I don't get excluded from the vote. I have an alliance and I think I can count on some of them but definitely not all. I have thought about that.

Well, they've got some time... Everyone who has shown up so far is cleared to vote. Chic and Rurea have another 30 minutes.

You all may submit your votes, and, after that, can help pass the time waiting by watching this:

I feel like this was a little bit my fault because I was frustrated and I basically told EVERYBODY :downs: that we were missing some people. It was like a day ago though, so I thought they would show up! They always have been very strong participants in the past. This is a "Weird thing". I am particularly confused that they still aren't here.

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?


I think the relationships blending isn't really done yet. It's only been a couple days, after all, and at the moment I think the strongest relationships are from our secondary tribes still. Probably we're going to see a lot of that in the upcoming vote

It really depends on the remnants of Super Sexy at this point I think. I dunno, I've been out most of the day so I'm a little disconnected at the moment.

Yes. I skipped out on dessert to be here. My parents were shocked that I didn't order tiramisu (since we were at a pretty great Italian restaurant and I am a tirimasu fiend) but if I had it would've probably been another 15-20 minutes before I got home

I am super lucky that I don't like sweets. I pretty much never do the dessert part, but I can be tricked into some cheesecake. I think that still counts as "savory" as far as desserts go? I'm not exactly sure what Tirimasu is, so I think we have time for an explanation, if you don't mind.

It's a coffee-flavored italian dessert and I love it and always have. It's made with a base of ladyfingers, which is then topped with a creamy mixture of sugar, eggs, cocoa, and marscapone cheese, and it's usually topped with more powdered cocoa. The specific place we were at also soaks it in cappuccino and it's soooo good.

Coconut is gross SUPER GROSS, but shrimp actually end up as my go-to snack a lot. My first thought is always pepperoni/salami and if I don't have that then "thawed meats" which normally I would have already eaten, and then it comes down to frozen meats, and uncooked Frozen shrimps are like the DUR answer to that, cuz they thaw in warm water in like 2 minutes and then you can pan fry them in another 2-3 minutes, and make them taste like steak with the right seasonings. Frankly it is a wonder that I'm not some giant blob person. Frozen crab legs are the bomb too. MMMMM CRAB. Now I can't wait until this vote + challenge is over. I have Snow crab upstairs.
