Tribal Council #9 - Discussion

[Jeff Probst]

Tribal Council

   


Hello everyone and welcome back to Tribal Council.

Let's get right to the questions.

Mary - Congratulations once again on winning Immunity! You dominated the puzzles, being in the top 2 of each. Did you feel as though you needed to win Immunity, or are you just really good at puzzles?

Amanda - You missed the past two challenges, but you came out swinging for this one and came close to winning. Did you feel as though you had something to prove?

Bubba - Last round you didn't react well to Trish being voted off. Why was that, and have you come to terms with the tribe's decision or are you still upset?

Austin and Hayden - You guys did not perform well in this challenge, placing firmly as the bottom two. Is it simply that you're not very good at puzzles, or do you feel safe and didn't feel the need to work on getting faster times?

JT, NaOnka and Sarita - Earlier in the game the votes were more well defined based on voting out the least active, but last round it was divided between voting out the weak versus the strong. What do you feel is the best voting strategy, targeting the weak and easy votes, or taking out big fish who are bigger threats?

Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?

The voting deadline is Saturday, August 23rd at 9:00pm 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!

Dont talk with me!!! I I am sure everyone who had better score as me in challenges were cheating lol.
Seriously...Fuck all OF YOU!


I am voting for person I dont trust at all.





Again FUCK YOU GUYS this immunity should be mine...duh

[bubba]

Bubba - Last round you didn't react well to Trish being voted off. Why was that, and have you come to terms with the tribe's decision or are you still upset?
Well, Jeff, I was unaware that the vote was going to be Trish. I was told by my alliance [Hayden/JT/Mary] that the vote was going to be for Amanda. I was told that we respected competition, and instead I was lied to by the people I trusted which angered me to no extent. I cannot respect someone who does not believe on their own game enough to keep the best competition around as opposed to a goat like Amanda. Especially considering I have won 2/3 challenges which sends a very clear signal that my own alliance is going to be going after me soon since they took out a "threat". I'm still upset, and I am dedicating my life in the game to ensure none of them can win because goats > cowards/liars.

Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?
I am voting for JT, and quite frankly I think other people he is "working with" should to... Amanda, you say you came here to play and you are not "inactive" or a "floater". Here I am providing you with proof that someone you trust and have been working with does not have your interest in mind. I realize that this sounds somewhat ridiculous coming from me because I have called you inactive multiple times, however, here is some proof that you should join me for the vote and ensure that you will be in a far better position:

The choice is up to you. Are you here to play, or do you want to be Denise Martin'd.

That Jigsaw was a spawn of the devil, and considering I was multi-tasking during the slider I didn't do terribly. I'm normally fine with sliders, and jigsaws that aren't pure evil, so it is what it is. Everyone has an off day.



Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?

It's simple, I'm basing my vote on who I want to go and what works best for me. Easy as that.

Jeff in the premerge game it was all about getting the inactives out but know that it is merge we need to start looking the future. Trish showed that she could become a challenge beast and we just couldn't take the chance. I also just want to state that there is no longer any inactives to get rid of so it makes sense to target the better competitors.

Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?

First i just want to say i have no idea where Bubba got this idea me,Hayden,and Mary was working with when i only talked to him once post merge. Bubba is also being a punk and making all this commotion because he didn't get his way.

Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?
We all know I'm voting Bubba tonight. He is realy anoying and complaints way to much plus he swoops down so low that he posted a man to man conversation that is supposed to be private.

[sarita]

Well...I am glad he showed me that you wants me out
Good luck in tie challenge with him Mr. Man

I think to win this game your strategy needs to be more dynamic than either approach. In any given round, you vote based on the hand you're dealt and how the chips fall.

Everyone - How are you basing your vote tonight?
I'm voting based on many different things. The top 2 being who I trust and what I think will prevent me from being steamrolled.

[Hayden Moss]

Well Jeff, to be completely honest, when I submitted my results, I thought I had done pretty good. I guess it shows Im not as good at some of these puzzles as some of the people with more experience than me (CONGRATS MARY!).

As for the vote tonight, everything's gotten a whole lot more uglier than I wanted it to be. I tried to explain to Bubba what was gonna happen, but it was clear he wouldn't have gone from it. And since then, he's be so resistant and difficult about everything. He's put himself on such a high horse, like he's some noble player who's so much better than us nasty schemers. Just because a play style is different than yours does not make it better or worse, it just makes it different. And he refuses to see that.

[Mary Sartain]

Mary - Congratulations once again on winning Immunity! You dominated the puzzles, being in the top 2 of each. Did you feel as though you needed to win Immunity, or are you just really good at puzzles?

i dont really think im that good at puzzles tbh i just got lucky with how the pieces fell for the slider and the word search. but i did want to win immunity cause i knew bubba was gonna go stirring up bs and trying to make everybody paraniod to try and get them against the people he sees as betrying him so of course i would wanna be safe. 

just gonna put it out there though, trish NEVER talked to me except like one time when i talked to her first. every single other person here including amanda has been more social to me than trish was so the whole argument calling people who voted for her goats and cowards is dumber than a bread submarine. bubba you and i both know you didnt want to vote based on deservingness that round so don't give us that garbage. im not a coward and im not afraid to call you out when you go around lying to these people and trashing me for what you think i am doing and how i am playing. 

[Amanda]

Amanda - You missed the past two challenges, but you came out swinging for this one and came close to winning. Did you feel as though you had something to prove?

Yeah. When people say I don't care, I'm gonna prove that I do. It just makes me mad to hear that I'm inactive when I'm socially active to most people.

[NaOnka Mixon]

The first time I tried to talk to amanda she said something along the lines of 'sorry I'm super busy so I might not answer....like so busy that I can't even take a minute to click the log out button'. True story.

I didn't? I started the campaign against Amanda. So I'm pretty sure I did. What you morons seem to not understand is that I'm not mostly mad that you voted out Trish but that you all went out of your to lie to me when it was COMPLETELY unnecessary. You could have told me "Yes, we are voting Trish, sorry you won't change our minds" and I would have tried something different but I would have respected that approach. None of you took the time to actually talk to me about the fucking situation, you heard I didn't want to vote for Trish because she was more active and a better competitor than Amanda, and immediately you all went ahead and lied and said you were fine voting out Amanda. It was pointless. If my allies are so quick to lie to me over something so petty, why would I EVER trust them? 

You are all making me seem like this giant tyrant because of the situation. I have stated multiple times I understand the thought process, but I also understand it was stupid. You guys have never even tried to understand where I am coming from. Also, you are not a goat, you are a coward, same with Hayden. Amanda and JT are the goats.

umm no thats not what happened. i dont see any point proving you wrong or trying to convince you cause you obviously arent gonna listen and will believe what you wanna believe no matter what. good luck tonight!

[bubba]

Alright. Just remember who is gonna be in the jury.
