- Thu Apr 28, 2016 8:37:58 pm #2891 Congratulations on making the merge!!!

Before we get to any questions, I just have to say, this is a place 7 people really wanted to be and are still wishing they could trade places with you. DO NOT WASTE YOUR OPPORTUNITY. You do not want to get to the final three with absolutely nothing on your résumé and believe me "I was secretly pulling the strings, i promise" is not going to fly with the jury. Play your guts out! Even if you go home swinging, it's better than going home after being reamed in the final 3 for being a "goat." So show us what you are made up and above all else, HAVE FUN WITH IT. This is a game and you want something to remember.

So that's my pep talk.

Now that that's out of the way, I'll ask a few questions: Are you happy to reunite with some of the other tribemates? Do you trust them considering you spent a majority of the game apart? Have you gotten to know the other players in this game? Now that you are merged and it is a new beginning, are you fully taking advantage of this opportunity and exploring all of your options?

- Thu Apr 28, 2016 8:42:19 pm #2892 Shit Jeff, I trust them more than I trust some people on my tribe. Certainly on making good decisions. While, sure, they may be harder to be at the end, I can still get my ass voted out by a bunch of hooligans who are playing for third. Dale could win, though, and I think he's a hooligan. Actually, I was going to come on here and tell you I kinda forgave him for his shit, but he's even ready to throw Drew out before another Asmat. He's the only Yali I'd now consider for that because he gets scared and it effects his voting. You don't want to be on the wrong end of his fear.

- Thu Apr 28, 2016 9:23:52 pm #2922 So basically I outed everything to Drew.

I trust him, but he has a lot of fodder now.

He's the only one I can trust to suss things out because Dale will vote any of us out if we smell funny, Jac is never here, and Nad doesn't want to discuss in-group issues.

My move now is to hopefully work with Drew well and keep my alliance with Nad and Jac. Reed is still my baby and I forgot to mention him. That boy plays so sweet. How can anyone beat him. Anyway BYE, I'M MAKING THINGS HAPPEN/OR FUCKING SHIT UP.

- Fri Apr 29, 2016 12:28:48 pm #3036 Dan is decompensating for, perhaps shits and giggles. Now he wants one of my allies (Drew or Jenn) and he's throwing his obnoxious weight around. Jenn I don't trust as much as Drew, but I'm hoping to bitch slap that messy ass with a vote.

Rooting for you to do well!
I know in my season I layed low in the beginning and went wild at the merge to truly achieve ~all star~ status.



What's your ultimate goal for this week? What needs to happen to take you one step closer to the win?

- Fri Apr 29, 2016 5:50:17 pm #3083 I love you for that Red Velvet Cake Realness!!! R.obbed G.oddess!

Summary. Dan flipped out at all of New Yali, saying that we don't talk to him enough and that he heard his name being thrown around (self-actualizing prophecy). He's being a general dick about everything and I don't want to play with somebody who will start shit at the drop of a hat. I'm trying to convince Nad and Jac to vote with Jenn, Reed, Drew and I to get Dan out, but I understand their apprehension. I don't understand their apprehensions with Drew and Reed, but I do understand their apprehensions about the results of this vote and how they will affect us. Joaq is agreeing with the people who burned him (us) too much for me to take seriously (maybe he's honest, but I know I'd want revenge). Dan wants to vote out Drew, but at least Dale came out against that to back the original Kelly/So vote (which spares someone I want to work with) without me having to come out hard as defending that point. Nad, unfortunately is with Dan. Dan actually wants either Kelly or Drew out.

Anyway that's where it is on my end. If me going after Dan gets me out, then I'll be one happy Henny.

- Fri Apr 29, 2016 10:18:38 pm #3102 Val bringing groups of people together again. I hate the idea of going into a vote with no recent voting trust behind it. I'm building it, but that foundation better not be made of lies.

[Val]

- Fri Apr 29, 2016 11:18:53 pm #3106 So the Dan vote may have been emotional (don't get me wrong, he's got to go soon), but Nad actually made a good point that we should make Jenn vote for one of her Asmat girls. Y'all may hate me for not getting Dan, but the votes weren't coming together... but at least you guys get to keep Dan. So, enjoy that.
