Everyone - Did you expect the tribe swap, and what do you think of your new tribe? Amanda, Bubba, Hayden and Trish - So I'm just going to say it, you guys blatantly threw this challenge. If not you guys were just shamefully bad, so I'll give you some credit and just go with you threw it. Why did you do that? Was it to protect allies on the other tribe, and are you all that confident in your former tribal relationships? Can you see anything bad coming from throwing the challenge? Erik and Sarita - It can't feel good entering a new tribe in the minority, especially when it appears as though tribal lines are apparent and rigid. What is your strategy for surviving this round, and do you think you have a shot at breaking into the Rheali group, or are you stuck waiting to be picked off? The voting deadline is Monday, August 11th at 10:00pm 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!

No, I didn't. I think Trish did a fine job with the new tribes as well. I think the way tribes were divided makes everything just fine and dandy.
Bubba - So I'm just going to say it, you guys blatantly threw this challenge. If not you guys were just shamefully bad, so I'll give you some credit and just go with you threw it.

Y'know Jeff, we need to make sure we can keep our numbers when the merge comes. By throwing the challenge we make sure that Mary and JT stay safe for another round and they have an easy out if they ever lose with the self-vote of Teresa. This was the easiest way to ensure the six of us made it there together. I don't think anything bad can happen from throwing the challenge at all either.

1. Yea I expected tribe swap
2. You know...Nay,Austin and Eliza are really tight. In my old tribe I would leave next tribal and after me it would be Erik. I think this tribe swap ended perfect for them 3 and they really dont care about me and Erik. I would leave next tribal sio maybe this swap is redemption for me. At least I hope. I already feel as part of this tribe and even me and Erik are in minority I am still glad for this tribe swap.

I did not expect this at all! I was expecting just another normal challenge, so to have a swap and then have the challenge confused me! But at the same time, I'm happy with this tribe. Everyone seems awesome.

Well, I actually didn't know what was going on because I literally fell asleep on my computer last night, so I had no idea what was going on. I guess we threw, but I don't see any harm coming from throwing whatsoever.

Jeff, I think we were all blindsided by this swap. Especially the way it happened. Everyone was so hesitant to step up as leader, and in the end it ended up having even more responsibility than we thought it would. I think Trish did a great job with the situation she was handed, and I think things ended up pretty well for us.
Look, no one goes into a game WANTING to throw a challenge. If we could, we'd play this game straight and narrow, winning as many challenges as we can. But things aren't always that simple, and you have to think about what's the best move. The decision to throw was a group one, and I don't see it hurting us in the end.

I didn't expect it at all really!! I came online just before the challenge and we were looking for someone to step up and be the leader, so I figured why the heck not!!! it was all very sudden and I had to make my picks quickly, but I'm really happy with the tribe that ended up forming here  it was a tough decision but all of the pros and cons were hashed out and we figured that it was the best one. I dont feel great about throwing comps but it is what it is! sometimes it can be a necessary evil I feel |
