Tribal Council 10

Welcome, Scrumdiddlyumptious Tribe, to yet another Tribal Council. Here you will be ending yet another person's chances of inheriting this Factory and adding a third member to the Board of Trustees who will ultimately decide my successor. Speaking of, here are Kyle and Pete. Welcome, guys.

Before we get to the votes, let's talk. As always, I've got some questions for you:



EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?


Brant: In the most recent Immunity Challenge, each person had four items, two that could hurt and two that could help. No one elected to hinder anyone else's progress. Is this a sign of mutual respect for competition, or a sign of mutual fear of backlash?

Bryan: Having played this game for ten rounds now, how easy is it to fall into a false sense of security in this game?

Cam: Two people helped you in this past Immunity Challenge. Does this go into consideration when deciding who to vote for? Also, you've got Immunity. Planning on keeping it?

Cory: With each person voted out of this game, how much harder does it become to protect yourself?

Deetster: Are the days of unanimous votes over in this game, or can we expect this group to continue making decisions together?

Kenya: At the last Tribal Council, Pete seemed to have no idea that he was going home. Worried that the same thing could happen to you?

Sadie: Five people competed in the Immunity Challenge, but of course, only one person can win. How important is it to show up each time to the Challenges even if you don't win?



Alright, as always, vote in your Journals, and please provide a reason. You will have until tomorrow evening (Friday, July 16th) at 9:00pm EST to cast your votes.

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?
For the short-term, I'd say that I feel a 7 as far as being safe. You can never feel completely safe and I probably should go lower on the scale, but I really haven't felt any signs that it could be me going home this vote. The Oompa-Loompas haven't mentioned anything to me either, so hopefully I can keep my Golden Ticket alive another round.

Brant: In the most recent Immunity Challenge, each person had four items, two that could hurt and two that could help. No one elected to hinder anyone else's progress. Is this a sign of mutual respect for competition, or a sign of mutual fear of backlash?
I think people just wanted the challenge to end as soon as possible rather than having to post all night. Since Cam was leading, they just helped him win it. I could also see it as mutual fear of backlash. Since the decisions so far have been largely group based, if someone would have started attacking other people, then it could have put a target on their back and that wouldn't have been good.

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?

Well, If I'm just going on this round, it's a 10! But looking at the rest of the game ahead, I'd have to say around a 6 or 7. I feel pretty good with how I've been playing the game so far, but I'm certainly not going to put myself at a 10 because you should never feel 100% safe. If you do, that's when you get voted off. You can't ever afford to let your guard down in survivor. Even if there are cute little Oompa Loompas running around, and there's candy literally everywhere.


Cam: Two people helped you in this past Immunity Challenge. Does this go into consideration when deciding who to vote for? Also, you've got Immunity. Planning on keeping it?

Of course it goes into consideration, because those two people that helped me trust me enough to keep them safe. They wouldn't have done it otherwise. And yes, I will be holding onto immunity. It does look pretty delicious though. I'm surprised no one has eaten it yet.

EVERYONE: On a scale of
1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1
being unsafe)?

I have to go with a 2. Definitely on the lower end of the scale because I have a feeling that the original snozzwangers will want to vote out the original hornswogglers. But it is a 2 not a 1 because it is possible that anything could happen in this game

Sadie:
Five people competed in the Immunity Challenge, but of course, only one
person can win. How important is it to show up each time to the
Challenges even if you don't win?

I think it is more fun when people show up for challenges, but with the last challenge ending so quickly not everyone was able to be there for it.

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?

I am amazing and wonderful so of course I feel very safe.. I'd say a 10.. LOL JK I never feel 100% safe at TC, the only person that should feel that way is Cam because he has immunity. You never know when you could go home.. so I always feel unsafe.. right now I'll say a 6 just to be positive and confident. lol.


Kenya: At the last Tribal Council, Pete seemed to have no idea that he was going home. Worried that the same thing could happen to you?

Of course I'm worried about that because that has happened to me many times in the past.. I would hope that it wouldn't happen because to have ALL these people.. some of which I've grown real close to.. secretly all vote me out.. would be really hurtful. BUT on the other hand.. I don't know why Pete was so surprised.. considering he barely talked to anyone left in the game.. I know for me.. he talked to me a whole two times and I had to message him.. I'm talking about on AIM and I think I might have PMed him once and he replied that once but that's it. I mean when you play a game that way and don't really talk to people.. you shouldn't expect to be safe.. but maybe I'm wrong.. maybe he did talk to others every day but from my understanding from other people.. he hasn't really been around much at all lately. This far in the game.. that's not a very good strategy to stay in.

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?

Um, I guess I'd say 5. It is usually a 6 or 7, but I'm sure I'm getting votes because of last TC, and Pete going out was shocking. Anything can happen it seems.

Bryan: Having played this game for ten rounds now, how easy is it to fall into a false sense of security in this game?

It's quite simple to do because I trust these people outside of the game and sometimes forget that they could easily stab me in the back at any moment. Also, there is only ONE person left who I've been with the entire time, so the others could have deals I have no knowledge of.

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)?

I will say a 4. I feel more unsafe than safe, but I'm not getting ready to grab my torch and leave...it's definitely within arms reach though.

Deetster: Are the days of unanimous votes over in this game, or can we expect this group to continue making decisions together?

Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that, lol. Aside from the missed vote here or there, we basically all have just chosen a way, and all have been on board with it so far, Horn or not. It seems crazy to think that should last, but who knows!

EVERYONE: On a scale of 1-10, how safe do you feel in this game right now (10 being safe, 1 being unsafe)? 5. Simply because its 50-50... either I am going home or I'm not. So I would say right in the middle is a good spot to be, always watching my back.


Cory: With each person voted out of this game, how much harder does it become to protect yourself? It's very difficult. Alot of us are friends outside of this game and its gotten to the point to where it's going to be hard to vote anyone out.

Just a heads up, Tribal Council results may be up a bit late tonight, but the voting deadline stays the same.
