w/ Brant
Brant Steele (12:31:21 PM): Hey Cam
Dogdude84 (12:31:40 PM): hey
Brant Steele (12:31:53 PM): How's it going?
Dogdude84 (12:32:31 PM): going pretty well, how are you?
Brant Steele (12:33:10 PM): I'm okay. The intense heat has calmed down some and some of my sanity has been restored, lol.
Dogdude84 (12:33:37 PM): lol! well that's always good. yeah it's raining here so it's cooler too
Brant Steele (12:34:02 PM): Yeah, the last few days have just been really strange, but things look back to normal now. Hopefully.
Brant Steele (12:34:05 PM): I finally got Glass Elevator access last night!
Brant Steele (12:34:24 PM): I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone else about it yet.
Dogdude84 (12:35:03 PM): Oh awesome!! Have you picked your room for it yet?
Brant Steele (12:35:19 PM): Yep, there were 3 room choices. The Mixing Room, Mirror Room, and the Jungle.
Brant Steele (12:35:35 PM): It said the last two people went tot the Mirror Room and the Jungle.
Brant Steele (12:35:50 PM): You and Bryan.
Dogdude84 (12:36:16 PM): Ah, so you have mirror or mixing to choose from then. Since Bryan didn't get his prize.
Brant Steele (12:36:38 PM): Yeah, I thought maybe the Mixing Room was the one Ben went to but I went there anyway.
Brant Steele (12:37:01 PM): I think there used to be other rooms, but they were removed because their prizes were pre-merge things like Kyle's. Maybe.
Dogdude84 (12:37:08 PM): Oh ok. has doug posted the challenge for that room yet?
Brant Steele (12:37:17 PM): Yep. You just had to post every minute for an hour, not hard.
Brant Steele (12:37:48 PM): So Doug hasn't checked back or anything yet, but I'm pretty sure I did it right and will get the Panic Pop
Dogdude84 (12:38:06 PM): Oooooooohhh, I wonder what that is?!?! :-P
Brant Steele (12:38:31 PM): I got a little description and will get more clarification when I get it.
Brant Steele (12:38:33 PM): During your time in this room, you will be given the opportunity to win what is called the Panic Pop! This Panic Pop will give you the ability to avoid one Tribal Council completely. This means that should you choose to use this Panic Pop, you will not only be immune from one Tribal Council of your choosing, but you will forfeit your vote in that Tribal Council.
Dogdude84 (12:38:56 PM): holy crap, that's amazing
Brant Steele (12:39:24 PM): Yep! I'm happy about it, not sure what to do with the information.
Brant Steele (12:39:33 PM): I should tell Kenya and Bryan.
Brant Steele (12:39:38 PM): I'm guessing it's going to be a Final 5 thing like yours, not sure yet.
Dogdude84 (12:40:24 PM): i bet it's F5 too
Brant Steele (12:40:47 PM): That means if we get that far, we're both Final 4. Hopefully Pete doesn't win immunity then if that's how things stand.
Dogdude84 (12:41:17 PM): yeah that would be awesome to make F5 and then just blast through that tribal
Brant Steele (12:42:12 PM): I'm hoping for that. I was a little nervous about this TC yesterday but I'm feeling better now as every single person keeps saying the same things about Kyle and I doubt they're all lying.
Dogdude84 (12:42:23 PM): right
Brant Steele (12:42:43 PM): He's apparently gone to Deetster and Sadie (and probably Cory) asking who to vote for.
Brant Steele (12:43:18 PM): So one of us will probably get a past-vote, but oh well. I'm not going to approach Kyle and try to suck up to him to get him to vote for someone else.
Brant Steele (12:44:06 PM): I think Deet and Sadie said they just ignored him and didn't give him a name, so maybe he'll just end up voting for them
Brant Steele (12:44:06 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (12:44:26 PM): lol i hope he votes for deet or something
Brant Steele (12:45:12 PM): Yeah, that'd be nice. I exchanged PM's with Pete and he said he was voting for Kyle.
Dogdude84 (12:45:47 PM): awesome
Brant Steele (12:45:55 PM): Deetster also tried to make a deal with me to work together, but it was super-vague and turned into "possibly keep our options open together in the future"
Brant Steele (12:45:56 PM): lol
Dogdude84 (12:49:57 PM): he seems to do that a lot
Brant Steele (12:50:31 PM): Yeah, I think he's just feeling people out.
Brant Steele (12:51:16 PM): And probably thought Wow, Brant gave me absolutely nothing but I'll fake slight eagerness to work together with him so he doesn't think I'm against him.
Brant Steele (12:51:17 PM): rofl
Brant Steele (6:16:39 PM): I just checked with Doug. It's only through F6, but I can use it up until votes are due so it's essentially like an idol. Except I can't vote.
Brant Steele (6:17:59 PM): I'll probably tell our 4 and maybe Pete (since it shouldn't matter and could help secure us) and tell the 3 Hornswogglers that the room was empty or something.
Dogdude84 (6:18:16 PM): okay good call
Dogdude84 (6:18:22 PM): and only until F6 i wonder why it's not F5
Brant Steele (6:18:45 PM): I'm not sure. Maybe all of the items are just meant to be different or something.
Brant Steele (6:19:04 PM): All we really need now is that Mirror Room thing that Bryan couldn't get.
Dogdude84 (6:19:14 PM): yeah
Dogdude84 (6:19:32 PM): well hey i'm off to dinner and then the gym
Dogdude84 (6:19:40 PM): i'll be back later tonight after tribal results are up
Brant Steele (6:19:46 PM): Ok, cool. Ttyl, have a good night!
Dogdude84 (7:03:44 PM): so apparently i'm not going to the gym because they closed at 6
Dogdude84 (7:03:45 PM): >.>
Brant Steele (7:05:34 PM): Booo
Brant Steele (7:06:20 PM): Are the weekend hours early or something?
Dogdude84 (7:06:54 PM): yeah
Dogdude84 (7:06:55 PM): bogus
Brant Steele (7:09:09 PM): Yeah, that sucks for anyone who wants weekend evening exercise. -_-
Dogdude84 (7:09:27 PM): yeah, suppose i'll just go earlier tomorrow
Brant Steele (7:09:47 PM): Yeah. They probably won't have opened yet at the time you go.
Dogdude84 (7:09:56 PM): rofl
Dogdude84 (7:10:02 PM): i would just break in and be like GET BETTER HOURS
Brant Steele (7:10:16 PM): Hahaha, that always work
Brant Steele (7:10:17 PM): s
Brant Steele (7:11:12 PM): I am currently transferring data from one hard drive to another, which is super boring and time-consuming.
Dogdude84 (7:11:20 PM): eww
Brant Steele (7:12:16 PM): It's also really hot to have multiple laptops hooked up and running on full powerful in my room.
Brant Steele (7:12:24 PM): lol, full power*
Brant Steele (7:12:53 PM): One of the fans constantly blows hot air out of the side.
Dogdude84 (7:13:01 PM): oh dang
Dogdude84 (8:28:41 PM): yay kyle's officially gone
Brant Steele (8:29:04 PM): He even voted for Cory
Dogdude84 (8:29:10 PM): rofl yep
Brant Steele (8:30:00 PM): So 2 past-votes for Cory, cool. Things look really good for us
Dogdude84 (8:30:12 PM): yep, and deet has one too
Brant Steele (8:30:34 PM): Oh yeah. Pete has 4 I thing. Jonathan + 2 from Alex and Violet + 1 from Alex.
Brant Steele (8:30:38 PM): *think
Dogdude84 (8:30:47 PM): oh ok
Brant Steele (8:30:52 PM): And I don't think anyone else has any
Brant Steele (8:31:30 PM): Pete asked what I had, so I told him. I figured why not.
Dogdude84 (8:31:42 PM): gotcha
Dogdude84 (8:31:44 PM): yeah he won't go blab
Brant Steele (8:31:59 PM): If it's a tie, I can use it myself or give it to someone in a re-vote. That's fun
Dogdude84 (8:32:40 PM): you can evade a TC even after the initial votes are in>
Dogdude84 (8:32:41 PM): ?
Brant Steele (8:33:12 PM): Yeah, in a tie situation only.
Brant Steele (8:33:22 PM): Does yours work in a tie?
Dogdude84 (8:33:36 PM): think i have to use it before votes are in
Brant Steele (8:33:57 PM): Ah, mine has a "tie" part in the description
Dogdude84 (8:34:06 PM): oh cool
Brant Steele (8:34:19 PM): Well maybe that's one thing that mine can do that yours can't. Otherwise yours seems to be better since you can still vote.
Dogdude84 (8:34:28 PM): yah
Brant Steele (8:34:29 PM): And use it one more round
Dogdude84 (8:34:35 PM): right
Brant Steele (8:36:04 PM): Bryan should know what's in the mirror room, even if he didn't get it. If someone from Hornswoggler goes, I hope he warns us what it is.
Dogdude84 (8:36:23 PM): yeah he would know you're right
Brant Steele (8:36:36 PM): But by the point they even get it, it'll be final 7 at the earliest and probably 5-2 so hopefully it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Brant Steele (8:42:17 PM): About this upcoming vote, I really don't care so much (between the Hornswoggler 3) as long as we're all united.
Brant Steele (8:42:40 PM): We probably have like 2 days before TC is posted anyway
Dogdude84 (8:42:55 PM): i don't really care about the vote either
Dogdude84 (8:43:11 PM): people may want deet out
Brant Steele (8:44:50 PM): Yeah, that'd be fine with me. Whatever works best with the 5 of us.
Brant Steele (8:53:28 PM): I'm going to head out for a bit, maybe will be back later.
Brant Steele (8:53:29 PM): ttyl
Dogdude84 (8:53:39 PM): alrighty later man
