Yali Tribe

Hi Nadiya! Just kicking off your Episode 03 confessionals with a couple of questions, feel free to answer them whenever.

1) So you guys have managed to survive your first tribal council, did you learn anything new or was anything confirmed for you about your tribe?

2)The votes came in unanimously against John Rocker, is it fair to say that you guys are a pretty unified tribe? Is there a weak link in your group at all?

3) How do you feel about the people on the other tribe? Is anyone standing out to you at all?

1) So you guys have managed to survive your first tribal council, did you learn anything new or was anything confirmed for you about your tribe?
Although the tribal was boring and predictable (Jac and I were probably going to get out Missy but our messages got cut off... I love excitements and backdoors ), I have since learned that Missy doesn't trust Drew, Dale has been talking a lot to Missy (he told me she hasn't messaged him much) and that Keith wants Val out next, and Missy agrees with him. The Dale thing is pretty significant for me since I was testing him out as an ally... I really enjoy talking to him and he talks as if we are a strong pair.. very interesting on my end.

2)The votes came in unanimously against John Rocker, is it fair to say that you guys are a pretty unified tribe? Is there a weak link in your group at all?
Not at all. As I said in #1, Jaclyn, Val, and I were going to vote out Missy when the messages cut I think we all just decided to go with the easy plan since nothing was confirmed. I have a strong feeling that we would have been able to persuade Reed and Drew as well. There are some distinct alliances going on and I happen to be in like 4 of them.. not sure how, I was just kind of lumped in.

1. Jaclyn, Val, Reed, Drew, and I - We formed this early on so we would have the majority.
2. Missy, Keith, Jaclyn, Drew, and I - Missy clearly doesn't trust Drew and I was lumped in here because Missy presented the idea to Jaclyn and Jaclyn thought it would be good to get info from "the other side" and I agreed... even if it's risky.
3. Reed and I have a strong bond and were thinking of inviting Dale to join us until we heard of his alliance with Missy.
4. Dale and I (as I said before) were talking a lot about being together, and possibly inviting Reed.

This tribe is all over the place. Everyone is aligned in multiple alliances and there is NO COHESION. Hence why we lost this challenge... We should have prepared for this. Looking at the forum posts from the other tribe, it is clear that they are WAY more organized and unified than we are. Such a shame imho.

3) How do you feel about the people on the other tribe? Is anyone standing out to you at all?
Joe seems chilled out and cool, but he could just be in character.. but so far not really I mean they all are similar and basically were just chatting with John Rocker the whole time... I'll pay more attention tomorrow.

So saying that there is no cohesion in the tribe, what do you feel should happen to get your tribe in sync together like the other tribe?

Well there is one obvious person causing chaos. If we lose, every single person has agreed to get rid of her.

Otherwise, I have already made a challenge discussion #3 post so we can speculate on what the competition may be and/or how we can handle things... here's hoping people see it and post in it. The other tribe clearly posts a lot more in forums than we do, so they must be doing similar discussions.

Do you mind telling us who the person causing chaos is?

Missy. It's pretty sad considering she hasn't participated in any challenges yet she feels she has the right to start all this drama and think we wouldn't think of voting her out after it?

What do you think Missy wants to achieve in all this?

I have no idea. I don't think Missy even know what she's trying to achieve. Seems like she's regretting it now.

Hey Nadiya, let's talk tribe swap.

1. You ended up on Yali with former tribemates Dale, Jaclyn and Val. How do you feel the tribemates you are reunited with?

2. How do you feel about your new tribemates (Dan, Joaquin, Sierra, Max)? Any impressions?

3. How do you think the tribe dynamics will change being on a tribe with 4 new members? and how do you feel about your place in this tribe?

4. How do you think your old tribemates will fare over at Asmat? Any guesses on their tribe dynamic?

5. What was your take on the drama that was taking place in that thread?

1. You ended up on Yali with former tribemates Dale, Jaclyn and Val. How do you feel the tribemates you are reunited with?
I'm really happy that I'm still with Jaclyn, I just really wish Reed came along. Val is rarely on and doesn't talk much but I think she will stay loyal. Dale is starting to seem like a loose cannon. After his feud with Missy in the thread for tonight... he's going to have a big target on his back from the new Yali members.

2. How do you feel about your new tribemates (Dan, Joaquin, Sierra, Max)? Any impressions?
I like them so far. Max and Joaquin seem quiet, Dan seems a bit annoying... but nice, but I really do like Sierra so far.

3. How do you think the tribe dynamics will change being on a tribe with 4 new members? and how do you feel about your place in this tribe?
I really do not know what's going to happen. At first it'll be an even tribe split. It's just a matter of finding the crack on their side and bringing them over, or vice versa.

4. How do you think your old tribemates will fare over at Asmat? Any guesses on their tribe dynamic?
My old tribemate Missy will probably be voted out first... so that will probably cause harm for Reed, Keith, and Drew. Drew and Read, however, are very social players so I think they will be fine. I'm lowkey hoping they see Drew for the extremely social player he is and take him out before merge.

5. What was your take on the drama that was taking place in that thread?
Everything said was accurate... but I wish they didn't do that. Or at least, I wish Dale didn't respond to her. I'm just glad that my name wasn't brought into it... I don't think either of them realize how relevant I was in last night's events (which is how I wanted it).

Hey Nadiya, how big a hand did you play in the whole Missy situation?

I was working behind the scenes against Missy but luckily she never mentioned my name so I don't think she knows I was working against her. I purposely aligned myself with Jaclyn because she is the leader so she will always be seen as a strong player but I can easily give her my opinions and sway her point of view as well... hence why missy was gunning to get Jac lyn out but not me.
