Welcome Munin to Tribal Council.

Behind each of you is a torch, grab it and get fire. We do this because fire represents your life in this game, once your fire is gone, so are you.

Tonight, one of you will have the distinction of being the first winner voted out of Stranded for Victory.

Stephanie, you are individually immune tonight. If you'd like to give it to someone else, you now have 5 minutes to do so.

Votes will be due at 8:40c/9:40e sharp. You can change your vote at any time up until then.

Melinda, having played stranded before anyone else here, is it weird being back after so long?

[Catalie]

*lights torch*

How come Cochran can see our tribal?

[Stephanie]

I'm keeping my immunity!

[Loveita]

I'd post a picture of myself with a lit torch but...

[Jeff Probst]

Catalie, is it weird seeing some old-schoolers you haven't seen in a while? Have you gotten to know any of the newer players?

[Jeff Probst]

*lights torch*

How come Cochran can see our tribal?

He can't, its probably timed out from the last 3 mintues.

[Courtney]

Cochran was hiding under a stool?

[Val]

Light 'em up!

[Joaquin]

*lights torch*

How come Cochran can see our tribal?

snakes don't hiss they wear glasses

[Cristina]

Lets get lit up in here with these torches!

[Melinda]

Melinda, having played stranded before anyone else here, is it weird being back after so long?

Yeah it is weird as fuck. I feel old. It has literally been a decade. I don't feel as though I am even close to the same Melinda that was here in 2008. Yeah never thought this would ever happen.

[Jeff Probst]

Val, it's a pretty diverse group from different "eras" of Stranded, or gaming in general. Does any of that matter or does it ultimately come down to the individual player?

[Gary Hogeboom]

Loveita,
Do you sense any negative perceptions of you as someone who has never even played stranded before?

[Jeff Probst]

Courtney, was tonight's vote relatively easy to decide on?

[Catalie]

Catalie, is it weird seeing some old-schoolers you haven't seen in a while? Have you gotten to know any of the newer players?

I wouldn't call it weird, it's nice to see people I haven't seen or talked to in years. Knowing some are still alive, and back to gaming.

With the new players, that's actually been fantastic. Getting to know some fresh faces has been actually delightful. Hearing the war stories of their seasons and how people won their games has been interesting too. Proving we all have our own stories, I've enjoyed it.

[Jeff Probst]

Mookie, any familiar faces on the tribe that you reunited with?

[Val]

Val, it's a pretty diverse group from different "eras" of Stranded, or gaming in general. Does any of that matter or does it ultimately come down to the individual player?

I'd say people are going to flock to people with whom their comfortable, but this game has been divided beautifully that one can't reasonably and solely rely on that. Thus, people seem to be intermixing and creating beautiful new relationships. It's individual but not!

[Loveita]

Loveita,
Do you sense any negative perceptions of you as someone who has never even played stranded before?

I was definitely worried about that coming into the game. But I think that even though Isolated is a different game, it's still run by the same people. I think people recognize that I deserve to be here as a winner too and haven't treated me any differently.

[Mookie]

Besides Val that I played with very briefly, and Joaqin who I had stuck into my head that I knew, no. I've come in with very little knowledge of anyone else, unfortunately.
