Danni, the newbies outnumber the vets for the first time in this game. Are there any vets that you do not view as a threat to win the game?
UGH NEWBS VS VETS JEFF?

I think all 8 players here have a potential path to the end, and I think everyone could probably pitch a case to the jury on why they deserve to win. 4 tribals is a lot of time to make an impact. Not counting anyone out until they're on the jury bench.

Adam, are there any obvious pairs in the game that everyone is aware of?
I don't think so, Jeff. We all seem pretty in tune for the most part. The pairs I had before are gone and new ones develop

I don't think I will have to explain the game for being under the radar... I may not be playing the loud game, but that's not smart either.... All the jury members consist of people who were Loud and threw there cards out on the table way too soon.
I'd agree with this sentiment, and there are still 4 tribals after tonight for people to make a move for the jury to take them seriously. Flashy gameplay is great, but it definitely gets all eyes on you with plenty of time for other people to take a shot
With experience being on a jury:
That sentiment is great, but I appreciate a balls to the wall game over one where you just skate by to the final 5 and then make a move. It’s so infuriating being an early merge boot so I know how some of them must feel watching us be civil

Jeff just lost all fucks and comes in with the hard hitting q's now
Drew, you're a two time vet. Both times you ended up on the jury voting for a quieter player to win or lose. Are you worried that threats will be taken out one after another, or do you feel like you have made enough solid connections to make it through?

Danni do you see yourself as Lucy is, playing under the radar and not a loud game?

I don't see myself as an playing under the radar, but I also don't see myself as someone who's played a flashy and loud game.

But at the same time it’s so hard to play a ballsy game because it could get you voted out: look at Dale and Joaq for example

That's a good point. There are currently 6 jurors. Over half have not made it to the final 8. That means that they will be judging your performance HEAVILY on the early portion of the merge, when they were in the game. That's a majority. So for some of you waiting to amke your move... it may already be too late.

The thing about this season is the super obvious threats are only beginning to merge. Everyone is still trying to gauge their own threat level and the threat levels of everyone else. I feel like I've made some great connections but tribal really puts that to the test

Exactly. I was the second juror and I couldn’t trust what other jurors told me about the finalists (because most of it was either horse shit or they wanted their friends to win) so I had to go off of what I saw as a juror. Winning challenges and playing clutch idols is what got Xtina my vote, not being a snake like Kim

Well that's the problem isn't it, it's not always black and white. Maybe some of the bigger threats have rubbed jurors the wrong way.

Would you say there are players in the game that would absolutely lose in the finals?

Caryn, are you concerned about potential Idols that may be in play?
Absolutely. As far as I know there’s at least 1 idol still out there, maybe even potentially 2 if the merge idol has already been found. So those can definitely cause a big shift in the game if they are used correctly.

At this point? No. There isn't anyone so far behind that can't make up lost ground from now until FTC. It's all about how you play moving forward. You can't dwell on the past or you won't be able to create a successful future

Alright at this time, all votes are final.

If anyone has a hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it on themselves or someone else, you now have 5 minutes to do so.

I'll go tally the votes.
