Questions for you:

1. In a unanimous vote to boot Max, it couldn't have been the right move for everyone, right? or was this a rare case where it actually was the right move for everyone involved?

2. Without Max, who is next on the chopping block?

3. Give me a status update on your game. How are you feeling about your place in this game moving forward?

I think the ex-as mats missed an opportunity to get one of us out while they could have... if the rumours are true and So would pick to break the tie she would obviously keep an ex Asmat. I was shocked max voted himself... he didn't even fight to stay.

2. Without Max, who is next on the chopping block?
Hopefully Joaquin. He's super sneaky and seems to think he's in charge. He has Dan and Sierra under his wing and probably more that are currently on the Asmat tribe. Same goes for Dan and Sierra but at least they communicate... Joaquin just dictates.

3. Give me a status update on your game. How are you feeling about your place in this game moving forward?
I think I have positioned myself well. I am basically working through Dale and Jaclyn. They will seem like the big targets moving forward.... but I do have a large sat as Dale and I are almost always online and talk a lot of strategy. I basically convinced them to go with the max vote so we wouldn't have 3 people so clearly against us because we lied to them.. hence all those sleepy emoticons in the tribal council. Those represented that I was voting Max. If you go back and look, they all were voting either Dan or Sierra. Even up until a couple minutes before our votes were due.

I will have to stick with the 4 for the beginning at least. I have a suspicion that the merge is going to happen sooner than later. Luckily, val... dale... and Jaclyn have all messaged me on the side claiming they want to go far with me and are unsure about at least one of the others haha. Kind of funny in a way. I can't get too cocky though... that's usually when people get sent home! I am trying to socialize as much with Dan and Sierra as possible as well as not totally ignoring Joaquin. I want to be someone that people WANT to be around and have on their tribe.

Do you expect other people to be making multiple alliances and shifting constantly?
Yes. I believe everyone is sneaky in this game. Right now I only really trust Jaclyn... which is kind of funny considering I didn't trust her on old Yali. She's just not online enough to chat which is kind of a bummer and makes it difficult. I don't trust Dale but he thinks I do.

I think something important to note is that I will never truly 100% trust anybody in this game. I am very aware that people tend to be courageous behind a keyboard so you can't really read their emotions through a bunch of text. I will trust whoever I think I have to trust in the moment and I will have to flip on somebody at some point...

With their being a double vote would any Asmat boot make you change your potential target for the vote?

[Nadiya]

- Wed Apr 27, 2016 11:08:14 am #1313 Nah. Our target got immunity so we're kind of forced to vote someone else... sucks but it'll give us higher numbers. But I do think whoever they vote out could hurt our games in the future.

- Wed Apr 27, 2016 1:34:45 pm #1319 I told Jaclyn but that's it. I don't think she would tell anyone. And if she does I'll just have to deal with it as it comes. I mean the girls never online and she doesn't talk to many people.
