Now that you've had some time to decompress from the craziness, let's do a recap.

After the first challenge and council, Hannah is voted off. Then everyone in the game is blindsided with a fauxmerge and live vote.

Do you have any regrets about the live council, wishing you had spoken up more? How does that council affect your game going forward and what were your thoughts on the outcome of Brian leaving? Were you surprised by any votes? Does this make you want to play a bit more aggressively now having seen that anything can happen?

Finally, what are your thoughts on the merge tribe and the makeup of the people here?

Brief recap of last night:

The one thing I forgot to mention in that recap is the rock draw (lol). I don't regret anything, I was really confident in the vote that I wasn't going to get enough votes to go out (other names are bigger) and if I went out on a rock draw it honestly would have been legendary. Using an idol there too isn't really for me since the whole point of it is to make an epic play and that is boring as fuck and would out that I had it to everyone. I agree with Probst generally that it's Brian's own fault and I don't really feel too bad about him going, he was gonna aim for me eventually and keeps blood off of my hands.

Wow, Chrissy and Ryan have the most transparent "secret" alliance I've ever fucking seen. Everything I say to Chrissy is immediately leaked to Ryan. So I told her that Ryan and I hashed it out and that I trust him again, assuming it'd leak. It's really nice having Danni around because we were able to get completely conflicting statements from Chrissy immediately.

Meh or at least Chrissy thinks they're aligned lmao
