Stranded for Victory

Welcome Valentine Tribe,

Go ahead and take a seat. We'll now bring in our jury: Val, Jeff, Cristina and Melinda voted out at the last Tribal Council. You are not allowed to address the jury, they can, however, post in smilies.

Votes will be due at 6:50c/7:50e. You may whisper, but you must reveal who you are whispering to.

First thing's first, Stephanie and Russell you won Individual Immunity, if you want to give it away or play it on THIS Tribal Council you now have 5 minutes to do so.

I'm sure there are no hard feelings after today's challenge :)

I'm playing my immunity this Tribal Council.

Alright, cannot vote for Stephanie. Russell?

Let's play mine too.

Alright, Russell and Stephanie are using their Immunities this first Council. Meaning everyone will be vulnerable at the second council tonight.

Yve, you got a lot of negative answers at the challenge today. In some ways that makes you less of a target, but in others... less of a chance at winning.

Loveita, you weren't answered for any of the questions tonight, what does that say about you?

Wow that's not even a question.

neither was Kim. drag her too.

Kim we are approaching the single digit placements. Do you think it's too late for some players to change the Jury's perspective on them?

Tammy, how does it feel to lose? Has to be less fun coming to tribal without that immunity necklace

I'm pretty sure I've just been the default punching bag in this game. It's a role that someone has to have, and I wear it proudly.

I don't think so lol. I mean, everyone here is a proven winner. I think you just need to play your own game, feel comfortable enough with, and run with it. I mean, in my season, I didn't change the jury's overall perspective of me until the FTC lol So I still consider everyone a threat in that regard.

it's much less fun. it was also the only question that i was the answer to so i kind of felt like winning was *my thing* and steph robbed me of it.

A few of us didn't get answered actually, so don't single me out! I think some people have done a great job of standing out in some capacity or another, and the types of questions you asked in that challenge have a way of showing us that. I've never been one to get the superlative awards in high school or any club - doesn't surprise me that it carries over into this game.

Steph, as we embark on the final week of this game how much weight are you putting into the decision of who to send to the jury?

Stephanie, does the $200 factor in at all when making decisions about this game as opposed to others you may have played with these same players?

Rather than wait for a question, I'll state the obvious: the NuMunin idol, which has yet to be played, expires tonight, so yes, I am excited for some pretty Poody artwork.

Russell, you've been merged for a week now. How much does original tribe loyalty play into the votes at this point?
