Tribal Council #1 - Discussion

[Jeff Probst]

Tribal Council

        

Hello Malaga and welcome to Tribal Council, behind you are torches. Please grab one, approach the flame, and light your torch. In this game fire represents life, and once your fire is out, as is your time in this game.

Now, let's get to the business portion of Tribal Council. We will begin with a question period, where I will ask each of you questions. From now until the deadline you are responsible for answering your questions and posting your votes in the thread in you confessional titled "Voting History". You will vote by modifying the following parchment.



Using editing software you must write the name of who you are voting out on the parchment. You must then upload it (tinypic.com is suggested as your ideal uploader) and post it in your "Voting History" thread. If you have any problems with this, please come to me for assistance.

If you fail to do vote before the deadline, you will receive a self-vote, and if you self-vote twice in a row you will be removed from the game. More rules regarding Tribal Council can be found in the thread titled Tribal Council Rules.

Now let's get to the questions.


Questions for everyone to answer:

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

Before you vote, there is a power to be played. Bob received received an Immunity Totem from Treasure Trove. This Totem has to be played at the first Tribal Council he visits.



As a result, Bob is immune and can't receive any votes.

The voting deadline is Tuesday, January 6th at 11:00pm EST. If you do not vote by this time, you will receive a self-vote. As I have previously stated voting is to be done in your confessional, in a thread titled "Voting History", that has already been created.

Good luck!

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

- I like them. I think everyone is nice and here to play the game.

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

- It doesn't really effect it a lot. It's just more people to talk to sooner I guess. I haven't spoken to many of them, so I am not sure.

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

- It definitely sucks. It was a tough challenge. (Especially when your computer decides to crash, and you can't reboot it and so you try to use your phone to no avail).

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

- Fuels us to beat them. Can't let them be over confident, cause we are a good tribe.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

- Who has been social and here to play. This challenge was hard for all cause proboards is a stinker haha, but some people haven't been around much and that worries me that they will just slowly fade away.

[Vytas Baskauskas]

I dont know if we answer them in here or not haha

[Shii Ann Huang]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

I think we have a good tribe. It's tougher at the beginning of the game because the kinks have to be worked out but I still think it's a good group.

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

I don't necessarily think it effects my strategy right now. I don't think anyone is looking so far ahead to where they're making deals with the other side because that'd be too presumptuous

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

It's never fun to lose. Especially when it's as big of a loss as we suffered. Ultimately, I think we'll have to regroup and take it from there.

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

I don't want to speak on behalf of the rest of my tribemates but for me, it fuels my fire.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

I'll be basing my vote on who I believe has been around the least.

[Jefra Bland]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

I am pretty sure we are the best good looking tribe so far!

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

I can stalk Coach and telling him all time that he is a big fail!

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

It is sucks. I didn't feel it on last season. It is new for me!

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

Rude.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

Let's cut weak people in our tribe.

[Hope Driskill]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

I've enjoyed getting to know everyone on Malaga during our first few days here. It's a shame someone has to leave so soon, but that's just how it plays out sometimes.

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

Well, I think we should be concerned about what's happening on our own tribe before we start worrying about the other tribe. At the end of the day, we're two separate tribes, so even though we can communicate with them, there's still that division.

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

It sucks to lose the first challenge. It's definitely not the ideal start for our tribe, cause we're forced to strategise much earlier than we probably wanted!

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

It just motivates me to do even better next time around. Every challenge is a new opportunity to prove ourselves, we have to be positive and believe that we can turn this around.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

I'll be basing my vote on who I feel provides the least value to Malaga moving forward. I think this early on, that's all it comes down to.

[Courtney Yates]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

I mean, they're ok, I guess

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

I could care less about the other tribe. Or their feelings. Or their existence.

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

Was there a challenge? I thought it was just Proboards screwing with us.

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

There's another tribe? Oh right, I forgot I wasn't acknowledging their existence. Seriously though, fuel.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

Overall activity and what the majority wants.

[Jaclyn Schultz]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

i think we have a pretty good tribe, everyone seems active and cool, im pretty happy about this tribe tbh, i feel like our loss today was more of a fluke because proboards sucks more than anything else

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

it doesnt really change my strategy at all. im only worried about the tribe im actually on, this one. they seem way less cool than us anyways so

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

its never fun haha. but like i said i feel like our loss was more of a fluke and well come back strong in future ones

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

oh it made me want to kick their butts even harder and that is what i plan on doing

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

pretty much just based on contribution and unity

[Bobdawg]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

They're all fly as hell and I think we're a good bunch.

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

I don't really feel like talking to the other tribe. They're a bunch of jokers.

How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

You know, someone's gotta lose, and I think we learned a lot of things from the challenge. Losing is bad, but it's very hard to win them all, and I think we can bounce back.

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

Shit I don't listen to the other tribe.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

Personal relationships and sociality stuff.

[Cochran]

What are you first impressions of your tribe mates?

I love them all! Everyone seems super nice and cool. I'm enjoying every one of them. Sucks someone has to leave tonight.

This season has a "One World" twist, meaning you can openly communicate the opposing tribe. How does this effect your strategy? What is your impression on their tribe?

Doesn't change my strategy at all. While we may be able to communicate with them, at the time being our focus should be on our tribe, because we're the ones having to vote someone off tonight, not them. As for my impression of their tribe, I don't know lol. 
How does it feel to lose the first challenge?

It definitely sucks. I was hoping we could pull off a victory but we unfortunately didn't. But, hey, that's Survivor. You win some and you lose some. Just gotta kick ass next challenge. 

Does being able to see the other tribe celebrate their win and talk about it demoralize you or fuel your first to beat them?

It certainly doesn't demoralize me. It just adds fuel to the fire, makes me want to annihilate them.

What will you be basing your vote on tonight?

My vote is based on two things tonight; how much I've socialized with you and if you can help Malaga moving forward challenge wise, with the latter of those two weighing a lot more than the first. Food for thought.
