We’re getting down the nitty gritty of the game now that most of the inactive have been eliminated or replaced, what is your standing within your tribe?

What do you make of the growing refuge tribe and would you prefer to end up there or stay on your tribe and be vulnerable?

Who is your closest friendship in the game? Who are you gelling with the LEAST?

Gosh I know. Just losing the inactive players made me feel more exposed than I'd like at this stage in the game. I don't think it has changed my standing in my tribe much, it just fast forwards our plans a little bit. Margaret was supposed to be an easy tribal vote but with her gone we'll really have to run through the pros and cons of keeping each tribe mate

I'm happy with the refuge tribe so far! It's all Lucayan people at the moment which makes me feel great. However, having most of my allies being sent to refuge makes me worried about the twist. If they all wind up at refuge and I wind up somewhere else, I'll be left open to the vote. Not looking forward to that. I honestly wouldn't mind staying in the game because I really do feel comfortable in my tribe, however the safety would be nice.

My closest Ally is definitely gary. I feel like the 2 of us have a similar strategy for the premerge and share a hatred for the same kind of players. I'm hoping that we can work together for a ong time. I'm also very close with Lydia, although I am a lot more wary of her for her challenge strength and her great relationships with everyone on the tribe.

I'm ready for Blake to go home. He doesn't really interact with me, and when I reach out I get quick and sharp responses. I also know he was throwing my name around as someone to send to refuge before he knew how the twist worked, thinking I'd be voted out. I've had that story confirmed by a few different tribemates so I have no reason to doubt it. So yeah. lets send blake packing please :)

Also I just realized I haven't had to vote for anything yet! The game has been out of my hands for the most part this week. I'm hoping to change that moving forward. I didn't come here to coast to the end.

Gary just told me that he got picked for refuge which fucks over EVERYTHING I was planning on doing in the next few days. It also means Lydia and I are stuck here with Blake and Brooke, neither of whom are very thrilling tribemates

I'm getting really annoyed with the inactive players screwing over my plans. I understand that things come up, but this is the second time someone not being around for important tribe events has directly impacted my game thus far. I mean, this is survivor and you need to roll with the punches, but man. I figured I'd get screwed by my tribemates PLAYING me, not by them being so passive.

I'm annoyed. probably gonna go have a nice cry.

oh also. still want to vote out blake. screw him.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

THAT SWAP WAS INSANE

I'm so mad, but also so happy, a little sad, and just PSYCHED right now. so many emotions.

I'm devastated that Gary is on a different swapped tribe from me. I'm really hoping we both make the merge so we can reconnect, but our chances look grim. In the meantime, Jim Brian Lydia Blake and I make up half of this tribe, so I think I should be ok for a few tribals. But who knows. they could all turn on me in an instant.

Did I mention I still want blake out? because I do. and we may have the numbers to do it in a few tribals so let the countdown begin
