Tribal Council #1B

[Katia Winter]

Welcome, Amsterdam, to your first Tribal Council and the second Tribal Council of the game.


The game begins now, with one of the most difficult parts of it: Sending someone home. You each have a torch. In this game, fire represents your life. Once your fire is gone, so are you.

Let's get down to business. You lost tonight's challenge, and now, one of you are going to pay the price. You should give yourself credit, though. You fell way behind in the challenge and were able to catch and pass Luxemburg.  The difference between sending home one and sending home two is obviously astronomical in a game with such a slim margin of error. 

Amber ~ Is there anyone to blame for this loss? If so, who?

Austin ~ How much of a relief was it to your tribe that you finished second and not last, even though you knew it meant someone's life in the game was coming to an end?

Cody ~ Which password was the hardest to break?

Holly ~ How do you plan to vote tonight? Do you think you're in danger?


Natalie ~ How will Exile Island impact strategy going forward?


Simon ~ What part of the challenge, even in defeat, do you feel most accomplished about?


Tiffany ~ What must be done going forward to ensure you do not return here?

Tim ~ Have you noticed any alliances forming yet?


When you are ready, you may answer your Tribal Council Question. When you are ready to vote, you will go into your Voting History and cast your vote by Parchment. To do so, open an image-editing program such as Paint or Photobucket, upload your vote to an image-hosting service, and post it in your Confessional.


You will be using the following Parchment to vote.







You have until Noon EST Thursday to vote. You must vote for someone who is present at Tribal Council.


Tiebreaking Procedures:

If the vote ends in a tie, the players not involved in the tie will re-vote. Only those in the original tie may be eligible to be voted for.
If the vote remains tied after a re-vote, those in the original tie will become Immune and the remaining members of the tribe will draw rocks. The person who chooses the oddly covered rock will be eliminated.
If a tribe is down to four members, and a tie and a re-vote do not settle the Tribal Council, the players involved in the tie will face off in a Fire-Making Challenge.

Simple we gotta pull together and win challenges. I'm not worried yet, it was one challenge. We can come back. We didn't get last so digging ourselves outta the hole won't be as hard as it will be for Luxemburg

I think it will have an impact on alliances for sure.  You may think you have the numbers and then someone on your side is sent away and can't vote how you think you can.  Also if a certain target is planned on being voted out and they are sent to exile then that would change everything as well.  Each round would be different since you don't konw what the voting group will be so it will keep everyone on their toes!

What part of the challenge, even in defeat, do you feel most accomplished about?

EASY! Figuring out the first password. It made me feel pretty accomplished because after we got the ball rolling for the first pit stop, all of the others except for #9 came relatively easy. Hopefully I helped enough that people don't want to get rid of me.

Holly ~ How do you plan to vote tonight? Do you think you're in danger?



i totally feel in danger, i mean i was kinda late to the challenge and thats never good to start off on. but from what i understand it seems like not many people essentially helped the tribe directly in the challenge because it was so freaking hard so i think its safe to say we all feel in danger. at this point because i feel like i still havent seen whose "strong" and who isnt, at challenges so i can only base my vote off of who i think is mentally/socially unstable for the tribe.

Tim ~ Have you noticed any alliances forming yet?


Hi Jeff, I have not joined any alliances.  I can't see what is going on around me.  That being said I am not naive enough to believe they arent happening.  So, while I have not noticed any alliances forming, I know they have already in fruition.  I am almost positive this vote is going to be based largely on the groups overall paranoia, since no one really knows where anyone stands.

Cody ~ Which password was the hardest to break?


The ninth one for sure, thank god for tim for breaking that. But that one took us so long

It still sucks to have to vote anyone out at all but to at least not come in last and only have to come to one tribal instead of two is definitely somewhat of a relief. You never want to have to vote out two members this early in the game.

Not really I it was a tribe effort
