Tribal Council #5 - Discussion

[Jeff Probst]

Tribal Council

      


Hello Malaga and welcome to Tribal Council.

Jaclyn will be observing this Tribal Council as the top performer of Loa Seki.

Let's get right to the questions.

Alec - You were in charge of picking this tribe and its match ups, and your choices resulted in a loss. Do you feel responsible for picking the wrong people? If your tribe had a different mix would you have won? Did Jaclyn outsmart you?

Brenda - Alec chose you to sit out this challenge. Do you think had you participated that you could have done better than your tribe? Were you upset not to have a shot at winning individual Immunity?

Cao Boi - Congratulations on securing individual Immunity this round with your excellent performance. Did you feel as though you needed this Immunity, or did you just want it to guarantee safety. Are you surprised by the performance of the rest of your tribe?

Cochran - This has been the fourth time the tribes have been switched during this game. Have these swaps pretty much erased any original tribal lines in this game, or do they still exist?

Elyse - You did not attempt the challenge. What was the reason for this, and are you worried that not competing may result in a negative perception of yourself to your tribe?

Hope - Your tribes performance during this challenge when compared to Loa Seki was abysmal. Was the other tribe just stronger? How will you guys come back from this loss?

Jefra - Alec was responsible for selecting the new tribes, and your tribes got crushed by the opposition. Do you think he is to be blamed for this loss since he chose the tribes and the match ups, or is it unfair to blame one person for the loss?

Everyone - The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

The voting deadline is Monday January 19th at 7:00pm EST. If you do not vote by this time, you will receive a self-vote. As you already know, voting is to be done in your thread titled "Voting History" using the parchment below. Good luck!

Meh. It is what it is, none of us were beating Jaclyn's time, and the rest of the match ups were pretty fair. There's no real way to answer your second point, because I'm not a seer. And we'll see if Jaclyn outsmarted me - there's quite a bit of game left to be played.

The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

A billion different things. Tribe swap, merge announcement, mutiny, the list goes on - we'll just have to wait at this point, be wise and patient and all that junk lol.

Honestly, being sit out of any challenge is a struggle for me because I like to be in control of my own destiny in this game. However, if I have participated, I would have done the best I could. Jaclyn KILLED it! I was very impressed. I couldn't have done that. I think I could have done better than a few people on my tribe though. And the Twist seems fun, i like twists it keeps the game interesting.

I feel you always need immunity in this game Jeff. Any time you're vulnerable is just another time your name could possibly come up for the vote so yes I feel I need this immunity, everyone does or else it could be game over. As for the performance of my tribe.. it is what it is I suppose. I'm not going to point fingers at people and I did the best I could. Would I have liked to win? Of course I would have.. but there was some excellent times on the other tribe and Jaclyn's downright insane time..

The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

Merge? Another tribe swap? A new car?

Who knows with you.. lol

Jefra - Alec was responsible for selecting the new tribes, and your tribes got crushed by the opposition. Do you think he is to be blamed for this loss since he chose the tribes and the match ups, or is it unfair to blame one person for the loss?

No. we can't blame Alec because we lose. They have just better players. I also failed at this challange. Only Cao win a score for us. We are all reason why we lose. No need to blame others.

Everyone - The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

It can be something like merge or like in Cao real season, double tribal!

[Hope Driskill]

Your tribes performance during this challenge when compared to Loa Seki was abysmal. Was the other tribe just stronger? How will you guys come back from this loss?

Yeah, we sucked. I know I performed pretty poorly, but so did everyone, so I feel less bad than I would if I was the only weak link. They were stronger, clearly. I guess we just have to keep our heads held high and hope we can turn it around the next time.

The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

Maybe we vote a second person out immediately after, or another swap, or a merge. Either way, I'm fairly certain it's not going to be something we'll enjoy. I'd love to be proven wrong though!

[Cochran]

This has been the fourth time the tribes have been switched during this game. Have these swaps pretty much erased any original tribal lines in this game, or do they still exist?

These swaps have made the game a lot more difficult. As soon as you get to know people, BAM, another swap. It keeps the game interesting, though. 

The twist of the message in a bottle is looming this round. What do you think the twist might be?

Personally, I think it could be many things. Could be merge, another swap (God forbid), a double vote, or many other things. But, to be honest, I'm hoping it's a reward for us and we get to go to a steakhouse.

Honestly Jeff, I just was super busy with it being the first weekend following the first week of classes, and it being a long weekend, I already had a lot planned for it, and I kept putting off attempting the challenge, and never got around to it. I am pretty worried that not competing may result in a negative perception of myself to my tribe, but I hope they understand the circumstances and give me a pass. That's all I can really hope for at this point. I know it looked bad, but I really just could not find enough time to actually do it.

I believe that the twist might be signifying the start of the merge, or it could possibly be a second boot. I guess only time will tell, though.
