Tribal Council: 9

Tribal Council: 9



[Villains]

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

It's time to head to tribal council! Valiant effort in this past challenge, but y'all have come up short on this one.

Everyone is aware of the 3-4 confessional posts per round. Jordan was nowhere near obeying this rule last round by the time results of the last Tribal Council went up, and the next episode had started. As a result of this Jordan will not have a vote this round.

Also, if you want to play an idol you must post you are playing it along with your vote.

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.

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

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

Alright folks it's time to vote. All castaways will have 24 hours (7:00pm EST WED) 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.

You're reunited with your Fan Friends from Montenegro, RB. How has being on this tribe been, and playing the game with him once again?

I'm enjoying life on Villains, coming over here I expected a barrage of hate threads, human heads on wooden spears and all that hub-bub... but it's been alot of fun, it's been great to be on the same team as RB again although we haven't talked as much in these first few rounds as new tribes I think there is a degree of respect from him and vice versa, he's a very solid player. And it's better than being the sole rep of your season.

How has the game changed for you since the switch? Originally it was Heroes vs Villains, now what has the game turned into? Explain your opinion

The switch was fun, it's changed my game totally because there is a clear numbers advantage for the original Villain side with four, whilst us Heroes have 3 and having Jordan not vote just puts us at an even worse situation. So you're looking at a beat down potentially, but with the whole Heroes vs Villains situation I don't think it was ever there, just hype from production. When you get down to the social game, everyone is the same.

Also, with this tribe there are no rainbows and unicorns which makes it all the more real to say the least.

What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?

My vote is based on what'll keep Villains strong and edging one over on the Heroes. I've got no real reason at the moment because my mind isnt made up, so... no hard feelings, I love you long time and this is the best decision.

- On paper there are 4 Villains, 3 Heroes on this tribe, one Hero who doesn't even hold a vote tonight, is it fair to say that one of these Heroes are in hot water, or, have original tribal lines dissolved at this point?

I guess it's safe to say the Heroes are in Hot water. Especially in the first round of a switch (well 1st tribal, I guess this is the 2nd round) it can be tough to dispel the paranoia that comes with being from separate tribes originally. I think tribal lines are disolvING (Caps to say it is an ongoing process!!) And I hope that things don't stay divided all game, but I guess only time will tell.


- How has the game changed for you since the switch? Originally it was Heroes vs. Villains, now what has the game turned into? Explain your opinion

Well it's still Heroes vs. Villains; just the people on each tribe are different now! lol. I am glad that the switch gave us all an opportunity to start talking to some other players than we had been. It really should mean that things will come down to the people and not the tag that was put on them at the beginning.


- What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?

I am basing my vote on what helps me make it through this stage of the game. I guess I'll say... Bye? lol I really am not even sure who's name I am writing down yet. I know I Know - I'll say - Bye, I wish you were Erik??

Jordan
What are your thoughts on not holding a vote tonight?
Really shocked and really pissed off. I thought I had posted enough confessionals but I guess the last one went in after the results had been posted, which I couldn't see. It's kind of upsetting that this technicality is looking like it might get me kicked out of the game. Kind of a harsh punishment when I proved today (and throughout the game) that I'm a pretty active player. At least I think so anyway.

If you knew that not updating your journal would ever seriously effect you, and put you in this position, would you have updated more freqeuntly as requested?
Nah, I like to live on the edge. Of course.

It got a lot harder. Of course the numbers game blows, but in this game more than any other I think there's a mixture of efforts on the challenges after this switch. Some people are giving it their all and others are dogging it. But I think we can all agree that we don't care as much about winning for the team now as we did before the switch. Now we're winning to keep ourselves safe. Or in some cases losing to keep ourselves safe.

Man, Jordan, you have delicious eyes.

-How are you feeling about your position in this tribe? Explain.
~This is iSurv1vor so I never feel safe...I mean in Arabia it was much the same setup...Start of the game I won the right to choose my tribe...Put together a tribe that I felt would/could dominate...Then I went home premerge...Am I saying I don't trust any member of this tribe??? No quite the contrary I actually love this tribe...I like all the members on it...Hell in alot of ways this tribe gets along much better than the original villians tribe and that was a pretty close tribe...So how do I feel about my position on this tribe...I feel that I'm still an asset to it...I feel I'm a building block to helping keep it strong...

- How has the game changed for you since the switch? Originally it was Heroes vs Villains, now what has the game turned into? Explain your opinion
~Let me correct something...Since the start of this game it has NEVER truly been about Heroes and Villians...While some wishes it has it was still about what it is always about for the most part...That being the iSurv1vor inner circle vs newer alumni...People like RB and Tucker though showed us in FvF that the inner circle can be brought down...So as far as I'm concerned the switch has helped...Villians got a strong active tribe full of people that want and deserve to be here...I wouldn't trade them for anything...

- What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?
~I'm basing my vote off two things tonight...What I believe will give us the strongest villians tribe and what I think will give the people here a fighting shot for merge (which I believe will be coming soon)...What I would say to the person leaving tonight is simply this...You played a good game and have nothing to be ashamed of...You leave knowing that the only reason you left is because you drew the short straw...It's nothing to do with personal just business...Nothing but respect...

- Well looking at original tribal lines, we all know there are 4 villains and 3 heroes over here. So with that alone, being outnumbered as one of heroes is a bad situation. However, I don't think tribal lines are dictating this game anymore. It's important to look down the road and see the big picture, and to play smart in the moment. This game is much more than just a contest of heroes and villains. A lot will be shaken up, I'm sure.

What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?
- This vote is tough tonight because I'm saying bye to someone who has been an awesome guy since the start, but I have no choice. This person is simply outnumbered. You will be missed!

This is your first time in iSurv1vor history you've been separated from Erin, how is the game different competing against each other?
- I think it's nice to be seperated for a while. It gives me a chance to prove that I play my own game and she plays her own game. We are not a package deal... we are two seperate players, each trying to make it as far as possible. It's silly to point fingers at one friendship because there are so many friends and past relationships in this game. Overall, I'm fine with being seperated from Erin, and I didn't really think much of it until this question was asked.

- Other than yourself, who in the game would you like to see make it far or win? Also, name the one person in this game you think is set-up to win?

Well I'll answer the second question first. I don't think anyone is set-up to win. People could say Erik but hello, he's on so many people's radar right now it isn't funny and it's sort of a guarantee he won't win. If this season is anything like last season and even Montenegro the winner will be someone that people don't really expect to get to the end. Like Ashley or Erin maybe. To answer the first question...there aren't many people I'd not like to see make it far into the game. I don't have any huge issues with anyone. I love this entire tribe and I'd be happy with any of the people from this tribe winning the game.

To All Villains:

- How has the game changed for you since the switch? Originally it was Heroes vs Villains, now what has the game turned into? Explain your opinion.

I think the game is still semi-original lines. There has been talk of alliances being formed that cross the lines and so the game is slowly changing but it isn't quite there yet. We all need a little more time until the lines are fully dissolved.

- What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?

Voting out someone that I haven't talked to very much. Having social connections in the game is important and if you don't have connections with someone then there is no reason to keep them in the game. Sorry for being blunt. I think the person I am voting out is a nice person but we just have not been able to form a bond yet.

- What was your initial reaction when you saw that Andrew was voted out of Heroes tribe at their last tribal council?

I wasn't surprised one bit. I figured that it would either be between Andrew and Megan. I think that Andrew probably was considered more expendable and probably less liked than Megan is/was.


To All Villains:

- How has the game changed for you since the switch? Originally it was Heroes vs Villains, now what has the game turned into? Explain your opinion

The game has changed tremendously for me. Going from an Original Villains tribe where I had 3 allies picked off right in a row didn't sit well with me at all. But we switched and I'm enjoying this tribe a lot better because I think we have a stronger group of people. Plus there a few people who are helping me keep my sanity. lol I'm not sure if the game is still just Heroes vs Villains. It seems to be that way on the Heroes tribe though. As we get deeper into the game, those tribal lines will fade away for good.

- What are you basing your vote on tonight? And, without naming names what do you have to say to the person you're voting out?

I'm basing my vote on keeping us as strong as possible and keeping around the people I'm close to and connect with the most!
