This twist is really going to stretch the bounds of that Survivor metascore that is tracked based on voting correctly and whether the vote qualifies as interesting or not But that would have been lame! Well look at this egg on my face why don't you

What the hell Tim, I tee up my best alliance/partnership hook yet and you respond by saying you don't want to make any strong commitments? Fuck all the way off

Right, so those were the public questions, don't forget to answer them. But level with me, how do you REALLY feel?
= Did this swap style suck or soar? Did you manage to bring allies with you to this early merge, or baggage?
= It's a 3/3/3 split, so no tribe can try for hegemony on its own. Do you have any cross-tribal alliances in the works?
= Let's talk challenge! You had the chance to lie your ass off and dupe people into mistakes, or win their trust with the truth. How did you take advantage (or not) of the lax communication rule for this round?
= Is there anyone in your group of nine who you just can't stand? How about anyone who makes your heart go pitter-patter? Do I smell a showmance? Dish!
= This round has the potential to be a bit cutthroat. How confident are you in your reads?
= Who do you think is getting the boot, and why?

My decision to make a group PM with Dave and Maggie right out of the gate instead of PMing them individually was some excellent lazy strategy that has now paid dividends in the form of an official alliance

1) It's a neat swap, I always enjoy a good subversion of expectations! Of course, it could have been a big problem for me given my voting decision last round, but it seems that neither Finn nor the Droids want to make a big deal out of it, at least for now. 2) The Elders, my venerable trio chat, and my one on one with ...Bees? For that second alliance, it's possible we could grow it to include the other Star Wars boys, as he and they have professed mutual liking at this point. 3) If I'm being honest, I know I read the challenge write up but the whole "talk to other people about it" part pretty much flew right out of my brain. I didn't discuss challenge strategy with anyone. 4) Tim annoyed me greatly by not seizing the hook I laid out for him. Now he sounds like a consensus vote possibility and I will have no objections at all. No showmances, I like my new allies but nobody is indispensible. 5) Pretty confident that Bees, Dave and Maggie would not just throw away a new ally at this stage. Slightly less confident that Droids and Finn won't target me right away. Theoretically, as long as those five have me in the favorable column I will remain safe even if the Tim vote doesn't come together. 6) Tim, boy bye

It is nowhere near safe for me to do it now or probably on this tribe at all (if this tribe doesn't get swapped again immediately) but man I cannot wait for the opportunity to yeet Finn out an airlock

Spam spams your confessional 1. Has meeting new people made you feel better or worse about your original tribemates? 2. How good of a position are you in on your tribe? 3. How do you feel about Dark Rey leaving last round? 4. Compare each player in the game to a Star Wars character, and explain why. 5. I’m trying to decide who my favorite player is. Why should it be you?

1. Initially I was looking to jump ship as much as possible. Finn and the Droids both gave me earnest assurances that they understood why I voted as I did, and the circumstances led to a situation where my ally Bees was digging the whole Star Wars gang to the extent that we strategized about sticking with them without the necessity of making a formal alliance. Finn's medevac sets that relationship back to zero, so it's a work in progress. 2. Eh? I think I'm safe enough and don't stand out too much, which is probably where I want to be on a large swap tribe before a possible returning player twist. 3. I am still a little miffed about it if we're being completely honest. 4. Oh lordt I am not this much of a Star Wars fan but ok... first off I am ignoring the half of the game I haven't met, and the characters that are already from Star Wars. Sue me. ...Bees?: Leia, popular and competent Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's: Obi-wan (but from the original trilogy), venerable and capable Lindsays: The Mos Eisley Cantina band Maggie: Yoda, because she's a boss Zero: Jar Jar Binks because I am already at the point where I want to see a lot less of him 5. The Dark Side doesn't beg for fans, you'll come around on your own

You received a vote at that tribal. How do you feel about that? Neutral. It's not a good thing to receive a vote, but I don't think anyone was directing Timothy last round and I just did not care enough to even pretend to PM him so getting his vote felt natural.
