[Jeff Probst]

Welcome Valentine Tribe, to your first Tribal Council of the merge.

Here is where the real game begins and will set the tone for the rest of the season.

Votes will be due at 7:30c/8:30e and can be changed anytime up until that deadline.

First thing's first, Jeff, you won Individual Immunity. If you wish to give it away, you have 5 minutes to do so.

[Danni Boatwright]

Val, was it a relaxing night off?

[Jeff]

I do not, thank you for asking.

[Jeff Probst]

Hope everyone had a good Easter and I'm sure you all had a crazy welcome back to the game today.

Melinda, is everything set in stone tonight or could Tribal Council change the course of the vote?

[Danni Boatwright]

Joaquin, with a Munin majority is it smart to just make the obvious move here?

[Jeff Probst]

Russell, you're from original Munin, do you anticipate Munin sticking together for tonight's vote?

[Danni Boatwright]

Jeff, did you need the necklace tonight?

[Penner]

What button do I press to go whisper in someone's ear at tribal?

[Jeff Probst]

Penner, is everyone here a threat? Are some bigger than others?

[Danni Boatwright]

What button do I press to go whisper in someone's ear at tribal?

you can whisper to me and I'll tell them :)

[Russell]

everyone when they're IMs got turned off

[Jeff]

Jeff, did you need the necklace tonight?

1 million percent yes. People actively told me “lol you needed that, gj” which is bold but makes me feel extra good about having it.

[Val]

Val, was it a relaxing night off?

It was the best thing I could have asked for. But truly I have come back to the realization that maybe time is not my friend. I have been trying to be as straight up as possible this game with people and I have come to learn that my name is on the table towards the end. People trying to take me down without letting me fight! Fucking rude!

[Catalie]

Just gonna be over here clawing at the vote podium for 30 minutes, don't mind me.

[Penner]

What button do I press to go whisper in someone's ear at tribal?

Can you tell people that I may have confused things a bit just a minute before tribal and to stick to what they were doing

[Melinda]

Hope everyone had a good Easter and I'm sure you all had a crazy welcome back to the game today.

Ha this game is CRAZY... I think I have heard a shit ton of different ideas and the waters are super muddy at this point. So I am prepared for anything to happen tonight at this point. And I don't think that chaos will likely ever change in a game with past relationships and players of this high of caliber. I truly have never experienced a round like this one ever in my life.

[Jeff Probst]

We'll play with that for tonight's council. If anyone wants to whisper in someone else's ear. You can post in Confessionals what your message would be. You must then post in here publicly who you would like it to be sent to. I'll facilitate that if anyone is ballsy enough to do it.

[Danni Boatwright]

Kim, at this point people are connected to players from their original tribes, their swapped tribes, and from previous games. How do you navigate such a complicated web of relationships?

[Cristina]

Just gonna be over here clawing at the vote podium for 30 minutes, don't mind me.

This is why I said they needed that scratching post for Tribal Councils but noooo, they couldn't stretch for it in the budget...

[Penner]

Penner, is everyone here a threat? Are some bigger than others?

Everyone is a threat, everyone is playing this game hard. I think tonight has been such a mess because everyone is playing their own game. Nobody is happy to just all vote the same person because they are all trying to make sure what happens is best for them. Myself included.
