[Jeff Probst]

Welcome back to Tribal Council,

Remember to announce who you are whispering to if you whisper.

Votes will be due at 7:20:00c/8:20:00e sharp. They can be changed at any time before then.

We'll now bring in the members of our jury: Val, Jeff, Cristina, Melinda, Tammy, Penner, and Loveita voted out at the last Tribal Council. You are reminded not to address the jury, they can, however, post smileys.

Russell is Immune tonight, if you wish to give it away, you now have 5 minutes to do so.

[Russell]

I'm keeping it, Jeff.

[Jeff Probst]

Catalie, was your issue with Russell resolved after last Tribal Council?

[Jeff Probst]

Cassandra, are there players here who are a lock for the final 3?

[Jeff Probst]

Yve, is it frustrating being labeled least deserving? What have you done to change that perception or are people not allowing you to play?

[Cassandra]

Cassandra, are there players here who are a lock for the final 3?

Just me, Jeff.

[Loveita]

[Jeff Probst]

Joaquin, you made a flashy idol play and then won Individual Immunity. Without Immunity tonight, has your luck run out?

[Jeff Probst]

Cassandra, are there players here who are a lock for the final 3?

Just me, Jeff.

You're funny, but you don't actually say much of value here. What can you give me for the jury outside of sarcasm and no substance?

I'm saving that for FTC!

Catalie, was your issue with Russell resolved after last Tribal Council?

I don't know if it was so much of an "issue" since I didn't really know it was a thing legit until that tribal, but I think we talked it out. I am not gonna lie, I just felt a some hurt with stuff. I mean, I realize I'd be a target eventually, and that I wouldn't make the end ((Since 99% of the time in any game I need immunity to lol)) but I dunno, this game is different. Because it's not anon and you build personal relationships with people. And it just stings when you find out that instead of being an ally, you're just a threat end of the day. And nothing else matters beyond that. Though I don't believe Russ feels it's that black and white, but we've been here for 3 weeks almost, so everything right now is super emotional.

But I think we're in a good place now.

[Russell]

WHISPER: ON

This message has been hidden

To yve.

[Jeff Probst]

Just me, Jeff.

Least deserving, out of her league, easiest to manipulate. Yeah, Jeff, it's not fun. Perception is reality in this game, and if I am lucky enough to be in the final tribal, and if I don't stand a chance to win- I want to at least be next to folks who I'd like to see win instead of me.

[Joaquin]

Joaquin, you made a flashy idol play and then won Individual Immunity. Without Immunity tonight, has your luck run out?

yeah, pretty much, barring me magically finding another idol (and lord knows i dont want to be labeled ben fucking driebergen) i'm toast

ive survived enough that ive been labeled this mythical dragon that everyone wants to get credit for slaying for their resume.

I think today was especially emotional because it's the end-game and all of these competing relationships and objectives are coming to a head. We all have to put on a face for someone and, the further we get, the more difficult it is to tell who is telling who the truth.

[Jeff Probst]

Kim, you're quiet tonight... what's the goal here?

[Danni Boatwright]

Joaquin, you made a flashy idol play and then won Individual Immunity. Without Immunity tonight, has your luck run out?

(and lord knows i dont want to be labeled ben fucking driebergen)

what's the joaquin version of a ben bomb?

[Jeff Probst]

Stephanie, you're someone who has relationships with several of these people outside of this game. Has that been hard to navigate? Do you find yourself picking one friendship over another?

[Danni Boatwright]

I'm saving that for FTC!

and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that pesky probst
