--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been an interesting few days with the switch up still quite fresh! The seven of you came up short and were defeated by the all male Villains tribe.

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 answered here 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.

After an individual has answered their questions please go into your confessional and cast your vote. Please create a "Voting History" thread. Cast your first vote there, and all other votes afterward.

Below you will find a blank piece of parchment. Please 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.

Questions:

Erin
- You played last season with your best friend, Stephen. Now the both of you are back again. I'm wondering how has playing with him this season been different from last season? Also, seeing Allan voted out last round who could be considered a "pair," with Ashley, does it concern you at all about your position in the game?

Tom
- Are you surprised to see this newly formed tribe here tonight? What are some differences you've noticed between both the old and new Hero tribes? Explain your answer.
- Having you been wondering what Morgan has been up to at Exile? What are your thoughts on her joining the tribe once you return back to camp?

Erik
- Has this vote been a difficult decision for you? How are you feeling about the vote tonight with this being a new tribe mixed of both Heroes + Villains? What do you think your odds are in surviving tonight?

Megan
- You, Megan, and Andrew were switched from the Villains tribe over here? On paper, if tribal lines were to stay intact, one of the three of you would be going home. Do you think that's the case tonight or have original tribal lines dissolved in your mind?

Jeffrey
- What did you think of the past Immunity challenge? Anything different your tribe could have done differently to win?
- Being 1 of 3 Villians on a tribe with 4 Hereos. and now knowing Morgan will be joining the tribe, does this weigh on your mind at all being surrounded by so many Heroes?

Andrew
- Having been playing the game for 18 days with all Villains and then been thrust into a whole mix of different players, how has it been adjusting to this new phase of the game? Also, how do you feel about your position on this new tribe?

[ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS HERE IN THIS THREAD, SIMPLY REPLY.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright folks it's time to vote. All castaways will have 24 hours (11:00pm EST SATURDAY) to answer their questions, decorate their vote and post it in their confessional. Once you vote please consider it final. You are allowed to change it, but if everyone has posted their votes before the deadline and one of the hosts is around to send results out early - we will. So please make sure your original vote is fully intended because we do send out results early if all votes are in.

A few quick reminders:
- Make sure you answer your questions in this thread.
- Make sure you post your decorated vote in your confessionals.
- Make sure you have AT LEAST 3-4 journal updates before votes a due. Rules in past seasons states 2 confessional updates, but since this is an Allstar season and activity is requires, those without 3-4 confessional posts per round will lose their right to vote. If you don’t do your part as a player, then you will not have any influence on who leaves this game.

- Having been playing the game for 18 days with all Villains and then been thrust into a whole mix of different players, how has it been adjusting to this new phase of the game?

Well Sandy Probst, it's been quite the adventure. First of all, not to be a douchy, but it doesn't feel like it's a "new phase" of the game. It's still very clearly Heroes vs. Villains. It sucks, but sometimes that's how people will think, they won't adapt to new changes and thus, even though I busted my ass off in the challenge and was a good part of the reason we actually did fairly well, I could easily be going home.


Also, how do you feel about your position on this new tribe?

It's horrific right now. I'm definitely in a bad spot, simply because I wore a red buff coming into this scanerio. I also hate that some people have basically been judging me based on the sins I committed back in All-Stars and Egypt, which I think it total bullcrap, but what can ya do? It's the easy way to target someone, so why not do it?

I just feel like I wish people would give me a fresh start in this tribe, because it really isn't about Heroes vs. Villains to me. This actually is a fresh new phase of the game to me! I just hope the people in this tribe give me a chance to prove that.


How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.

ugh, not great. I like the people in this tribe a lot actually. Lots of nice people, maybe a little dead set on old tribal loyalty, but nice people. I won't lie, this isn't exactally a good turn of events for me, if only because, again I'm on the hotseat due to being an original Villain. If things were to chance and people were to give me a fair chance, then I'd change my answer. Fact is, I like this particular group of people a lot more than the old Villains tribe, people are actually sane here!


- What are you basing your vote on tonight?

Survival. That's all I can do. It's pretty much do what I can to stay alive or I could once again place shittely in iSurv1vor, (although this time I didn't really cause it).



- Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.


Well, asking questions like that, I kinda have to say you actually Sandy! Lol, jk, but seriously, if I had to pick someone, I'd say Morgan. Again, with my point that I don't feel like people have given me a fair shake at things, Morgan I worry would hold iSurv1vor Egypt against me. I hope she wouldn't be like that, but I think I have the right to be worried.

(and please everyone, don't just say that's how the dice rolls regarding this twist, you know damn well you'd be pissed too if you were on the hotseat because of things you did 2 years ago too!)




Man, I really let out some steam, didn't I? Lol love you guys, but seriously, give me a fair chance at least! ;D

[erik]

ummm sorry im on my phown right now lawl.

the vote is quite easy for me tonight. from all the fucking shit ive been hearing there isnt a doubt in my mind. the tribe is interesting and i like the change in atmosphere i guess . i feel safeish...well see though.

the last few days have been nice. good and fun people. ill know if i feel safe later tonight lol.

basing my vote on which bitch needs to go first.

biggest threat to me is myself. i control my destiny and its my fault only if i leave!

[ashley]

Your close friend, Allan, was voted out of the Heroes tribe a few days ago. Why do you think he was voted out of the game, and how do you feel about it now that it is all said and done with? Explain your answer.

I understand someone has to go and eventually one of us would go. I'm not 100% sure the reason except he had too many ties to the villains. And then Morgan changes her mind and wanted to play again. I can only assume everyone thought she'd be more help in the long run. I was a little shocked/upset but I'd rather it have been him and not me.

How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.

I think we have a great new tribe. As much as the switch was a little upsetting its nice to meet a few new people. It hasn't been bad for me. Everyone seems nice and just here to play the game.

- What are you basing your vote on tonight?

I'm just basing my vote on what I think is best for the tribe as a whole!

- Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.

I'd say everyone is a huge threat to me. These people are the best of the best and it's definitely going to be a challenge...but if I had to pick one person.....Bud? He's mean haha

[Jeffrey]

- What did you think of the past Immunity challenge? Anything different your tribe could have done differently to win?

The only thing we could have done differently was find longer words particularly with letters in the green squares. So obvious yet so true. I actually thought the challenge was really hard since I'm not a fan of looking up random words that fit in a large box full of random letters. I prefer pulling them from my ~own~ expansive vocabulary because anybody can google anything obviously.

- Being 1 of 3 Villians on a tribe with 4 Hereos. and now knowing Morgan will be joining the tribe, does this weigh on your mind at all being surrounded by so many Heroes?

It definitely does. I actually get along with the heroes well, but I always get along with people really well and it never stops them from voting me off or just not aligning with me. At the same time though, I've got somebody like Erik who I've played with before, and I have to ask myself if I should trust him again... but I told myself at the beginning of the game that everything is starting on a fresh plate. I'm not using my past in this game whether it be a grudge or a past alliance. So really I came into this tribe with only my villain brethren.

- How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.

I like this new tribe a lot. I would even say I like it ~better~ than I liked the heroes. It's a lot more personal over here which is something I value. Even with Andrew, it's like shifting tribes has made us talk a lot more and it feels nice. So while numbers-wise it's not ideal, I do like the environment I've stumbled into.

- What are you basing your vote on tonight?

Trust, there's people on this tribe who I think I can rely on and others that I don't feel I can rely on. There's also a question of where in the tribe this vote will place me... a good position, a bad position, or even the same position considering Morgan's coming.

- Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.

I would probably say Tucker because he has actually personally threatened me numerous times and I fear for my life. He should be removed from the game imo ^_^.

[Tom]

Are you surprised to see this newly formed tribe here tonight? What are some differences you've noticed between both the old and new Hero tribes? Explain your answer.
I wouldn't say I'm "surprised," exactly, but I was definitely impressed with how the other tribe performed in this challenge. They were just total word demons. What can ya do? As far as differences between the old and new Hero tribes...well, there are now villains in our midst. Haha, basically. It's an interesting new dynamic.


Have you been wondering what Morgan has been up to at Exile? What are your thoughts on her joining the tribe once you return back to camp?
I think we've all been wondering to some degree what all is going on with Morgan at Exile. Nobody can talk to her while she's there, so yeah, I'm definitely curious. As far as her joining our tribe, I certainly hope it makes us stronger. She definitely needs to step up in challenges.


How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.

It was kinda crazy for me at first because I'd been out of the house the entire day it happened, so I came home that night and it was just a whirlwind of confusion for me. But a couple days later, things have settled and I do enjoy this group of people. I'm totally happy that I remained on the saner of the two tribes after this switch. For the first several rounds I think everyone was dreading a change/switch in the game...but it's actually been quite pleasant for me.


What are you basing your vote on tonight?
Trust. Without trust, all you can do is win challenges to get further. I'd like a bit more leverage than that for both me and my tribe.


Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.
I'm gonna be random and say Hooker. lawlz, but I honestly have no idea. Everyone's a threat in their own unique way I suppose.

[Erin]

- You played last season with your best friend, Stephen. Now the both of you are back again. I'm wondering how has playing with him this season been different from last season? Also, seeing Allan voted out last round who could be considered a "pair," with Ashley, does it concern you at all about your position in the game?
- Every season is always different, so naturally this season has been different than the last. The main difference this season was the fact that we did have tribes at the beginning of the game. Last season was individual from the start. I am always concerned about my position in the game. However, this is an All-Stars game. Everyone has a relationship with all or at least some of the players in the game. Those relationships could be beneficial or could end up hurting you in the game. I think relationships are less of a focus in an All-Star game. I know to me they are.


- How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.
- The past few days in the game have been really good. I wasn't honestly expecting a tribal switch, epically not then! I really like my new tribe! Everyone is super friendly and talkative, so that is always good! I don't feel that this turn of events was really bad for me, however, I don't feel it was great for me either. I think only time will tell.

- What are you basing your vote on tonight?
- I am mainly basing my vote tonight on trust, loyalty, and what I feel is the best move.

- Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.
- Honestly, the biggest threat to me would probably be Stephen. I know no matter what people will look at us. I love playing games with friends, but sometimes that is the downfall to these games also.

[Megan]

Megan
- You, Megan, and Andrew were switched from the Villains tribe over here? On paper, if tribal lines were to stay intact, one of the three of you would be going home. Do you think that's the case tonight or have original tribal lines dissolved in your mind?

Unfortunately I do believe a villain is leaving, and its probably me or Stickman. We came here to be "split" from our "5" person alliance that was on the villains tribe, the whole plan is to just vote us out to hurt the villains over there and the villains as a whole. What they dont really get is that when tribes switch, relationships switch. I played a game where I had a core girls alliance in a tribe, and it was basically down to just US when a tribal switch came, and when we all merged, they had formed new relationships and basically voted my ass out. Things change in games when their are new tribes because you have to put your trust in new people. To simply be voted out because of a past tribe is kinda bleh but hey its the game and people have to do what people have to do.



- How have the past couple of days in the game been since the switch? What do you think of your new tribe, and has this shift been a good or bad turn of events for you personally? Explain you answer.
Well, I liked meeting everyone. Tom is extremely nice definitely a hero, and you can tell he is a loyal person which can be respected in this game, a lot of people you cant really say the same about. Erik is definately outspoken, I didnt get to see him compete much in the challenge which is a shocker, I know he is a big player and good at things, he also whipped up a pretty good team. Ashley, she is nice, we haven't gotten to talk much because my schedule has been like wtf crazy recently. Erin, she was soo nice in Bermuda, I feel bad being such a bitch to her because she turned on me in it, I know she was doing what she felt best at the time. Jeffrey, we didnt get to talk like at all since the merge so its like bleh but hey I have been busy so its mostly my fault as well, stickman is cool! He was really nice the first time we talked and he is still a nice guy, and if one of us leaves, which (will probably happen =() im gonna miss playin the game with him!

- What are you basing your vote on tonight? I am basing my vote on stuff I heard, and im just going along with it, im not really told anything much in this tribe lol, but then again ive had a busy weekend lol.

- Who is the biggest threat to you winning this game? Name someone.

Umm, Erik, he is such a strong personality in this game, and he has ALOT of people who like him, seriously a strong front runner in this game, and if i made jury and he made it in the end, HELLO heres my jury vote, lol. Unless someone else totally dominated in the questions xD
