Aymara, Day 3

Aymara reeling from their first immunity loss, are still feeling the repercussions from the last fiery tribal council – the heated argument between Colby and Jerri, as we all are accustomed to.

Colby : Hey Jerri.. Don't take whatever I say in this thing personally. I have a lot going on right now, with a sick family member and too much going on at work. I got roped into this game when it was too late to back out. When I say "I don't have time for this" it means I have RL issues I'd rather be attending to right now, but I feel bad if I don't put forth any effort in the game. I hope you understand. I'm not being bitchy to you because I don't like you....I'm just trying to think of how Colby would be and play it that way, because I can't think of how to play it my way right now. I don't have any personal ill will toward anyone. Take care!
Jerri : I'm going to be honest with you, as I don't like letting things fester -- I think it's pretty lame that you're attacking me, even if it is "in character". I am sorry to hear that you have family issues happening, that is certainly a reason for being short with myself (and others), but it's not an excuse. I'd just chill out a little, if I were you. Don't be afraid to crack some jokes, have some fun, make fun of Probst, etc.
Colby : Look, I promise I'm not attacking you. I don't know you, so I certainly can't be attacking you personally. I have no idea who you are. And Jerri has always been one of my least fave survivors...Colby's too. If Colby had hated Elisabeth or Mike or anyone else in S2, I'd be giving that character crap. Really, don't take it personally. It's not. I'm saying that as the person behind Colby, and that person is very honest.

Alicia was ever so concerned what the effects of the tiff would be to her ally, Jerri.

Alicia : Dont let Colby get to you YET Lets take this thorn out next TC Night!
Jerri : LOL It's OK, I thought it was rather funny. He's such'a jerk... good times. I'll still be able to work with him (if need be) during tomorrow's challenge, FWIW. He just PM'd me, btw, I can't wait to see how he tries to make amends.

Alicia – CONFESSIONAL : LOL at the Colby/Jerri feud! I think Colby is an ass, and can not WAIT for him to be voted out. My alliance seemed to hold up and Michael was voted out. Never got to know him, but the TC firmed up my feelings for Kel and Jerri especially. I like my tribe for the most part, I think Jerri and Kel are great, and want to have fun with it, where as Colby seems like an ass, and Rodger a bit on the lame side. Amber and Elizabeth seem a bit on the tame side, and dont PM me as frequent as Kel and Jerri. I suspect Kel has multiple plans, but right now its Jerri and I for the final 2 and Kel for final 3, and Amber or Elizabeth for 4.

Alicia, wasn’t the only one who was concerned, obviously.

Kel : boy talk about drama. uh, so Elizabeth's next, right? LOL what is colby's problem and who the hell is he on sucks?
Jerri : LOL I really wouldn't mind if Colby stayed another week. He's entertaining in a trainwreck sorta way, while Elisabeth is just sorta there. I know that sounds horrible, but oh well. As for who he is, I am not sure. He sent me a PM blaming his assholishness on playing "in character" and he also threw in some "RL problems" for good measure -- I can't get a reading on him, though. You totally sound like PieceofSquash to me.
Kel : i'm going to keep Sucks guessing on the wraps, since i'm a law abiding citizen and all, you know. As for Colby. . .well we'll just have to see how things play out, eh? It was a pretty fun tribal. you totally slammed him.
Jerri : Hah! You're definitely not POS, then, since you're not guessing. I actually wouldn't confirm who I am, but I love guessing who other people are -- that's my favoritest part of this game thus far. And I thought TC was entertaining. And here I thought I was gonna miss it, heh.
Kel : TC would NOT have been nearly as entertaining without you. i actually liked the Jeff/Mark tandem - Jeff warmed us up and let us have some fun, Mark threw in the curve ball serious questions to stir the pot.
Jerri : Mark Burnett is totally a shit-stirrer... Colby should take lessons from his regarding playing in character, heh.

Kel – CONFESSIONAL : i was annoyed at whoever wrote "my alliance wanted to vote for you" on Michael's whatchacallit thing. way to let on to whoever might not know there are alliances going on. of course, in the second guessing way, that could be someone in an alliance that *i* don't know about

Wary over how things are turning out, Kel talks to Amber to see how she felt.

Kel : hey girl - i see you down in the you're here bar surveying the damage tonight. it's a pretty fun read! we missed ya!
Amber: Sorry I wasn't here! I'll be here more often from now on, I promise. I see Mike is gone. Looks like us 4 have the upper hand now. :)

Kel is determined to find out what’s really bothering Colby, and found out what Colby’s real dilemma in this game was.

Kel : Hey Colby dude, that was some Tribal tonight! What was up with voting Jerri - are you just trying to get people mad at you? If you're serious about taking her out, I'm intrigued . . . but do you have enough people on your side?
Colby : Game off for a second here: I had no idea who was voting what. Jerri has always been one of my least fave survivors, and since I was in a time crunch and just wanted to get through TC, I voted her. I initially voted Lis, but since Jerri came at me at TC, I changed it.
When I initially got asked to do this game, my life was pretty flexible. Within the last week, all hell's broke loose. I'm also in my review period at work, so I can't do much there. Got home tonight, had a kidlet with me, who's too young to be reading sexual innuendo...and just wanted to get through TC quickly so I could set him up with a game. I already apologized to Jerri, but she's pissed on a personal level. Trust me, it's NOT personal. Think about it: who aside from Keith did Colby hate most in S2? Jerri. Had I gotten cast as Kimmi, I'd be hatin' on Alicia. I swear, it's NOT personal. I don't even know who any of you are, so how can it be personal?
Game on: No, I don't have the numbers to boot Jerri, but as you know, she was one of the ones I wanted booted first. I can't be at the next challenge, so I know I'm on the chopping block, and I'm fine with that. But if she's not at the next challenge, I'd like to see her name come up. That'll be two challenges in a row she misses.
Kel : fair enough. i'm game with RL issues. and i did go back and see that there *wasn't* necessarily innuendo in your first wood post, so sorry for saying that.
i don't know how i feel about targeting based on Survivor personality though . . . right now i'm more interested in booting off people who don't really seem interested or interesting in *this* game. so i thought Michael was fairly obvious - i truly understand not being able to make challenges/schedules/real life conflicts, believe me. once we get rid of those kind of floaters (maybe Rodger's that way?), then i'm more inclined to go for personality booting.
but hopefully we'll just win tomorrow and this will all be postponed for another day!
Colby : See, here's the trouble I'm having: YOu can either play this as the personality of your character, or you can create your own. Obviously, you're creating your own. I don't have time to think of how I want Colby to be, so I'm just trying to be him. Lis and Amber seem like their characters. Jerri seems like an over the top version of Jerri. More flirtatious, more obnoxious, sluttier...and I don't know if she's playing Jerri or creating a new Jerri. I have no idea how to take her. So, I take her as Colby would, and want her as far away from me as possible. Again, it's nothing personal...just my interpretation of Colby.
As for the game, I'm not really fussy. I make a great follower at this point. The only thing I ask is that if you feel like you need to vote me off, let me know. I swear, I won't turn the tables on you. I just want a heads up so that I can bow out gracefully, not bitterly.
Kel : playing Kel as Kel would be extremely boring. you said you couldn't be paid to play as Stephanie . . . it would take a LOT of effort for me to play as Kel, seeing as i didn't watch that season adn only know him as the "beef jerky boot" stereotype.
concerning Jerri - i get ya, you have to find some type of target, but i'm more interested in the early game on eliminating the people who don't seem to be interested in playing the game at all. that's why Rodger is getting my pre-vote in case i don't show up to Tribal. . . he seems the least "into" it, based on posts and my pm-s to him.

Glad that he’s got the juicy info, Kel spills the bean to Jerri with glee.

Kel : i thought you'd find it interesting how Colby views you. i also think this dude hasn't worked out the This Game vs the Survivor Player You're Playing As deal. Like, fine, if you want to, act and speak like the survivor you've been assigned to . . . but if you VOTE and hold grudges AS the survivor you've been assigned to, then that's severely limiting your moves in THIS game.
Jerri : omg, that's hilarious! I like how he views me as slutty. I should totally try to fake cybersex him up!! Be like, "a/s/l?" Mwahahahaha! (btw, I'm getting ready to PM him back again -- I love love love fucking with this guy... I'm pretty sure he actually believes I'm Jerri).
Kel : i thought you'd be amused. too bad he won't be at the next TC. . . he did make things more interesting last night.
Jerri : Yeah, TC is gonna suck without him... if we have it, that is. Heh. I'm gonna do the challenge, but I don't know if I can make it to the potential TC -- or at least last the whole duration. I'm gonna copy and paste that PM conversation into my confessional for future laughs, if that is OK (being that our PM's get deleted after each TC). I won't be telling any players about it, though.

Quechua, Day 3

Still feeling victorious over their first win, certain members of Quechua starts to solidify their alliances in case they need to turn on one another.

Joel : Hey Kelly. I was wondering. Do you think it'd be cool for us to watch out for one another? I don't want our tribe to lose even once, but if it happens, it never hurts to protect ourselves. So far, you're the only person I've had an actual conversation with, and I feel like I can trust you
Kelly : sure thing! i feel like I can trust you too. Wonderful to know someone, who's as hot as you, has got my back ^_^
Joel : And I'm happy to have a hot babe to kick it with ;)
Kelly : aww shucks, i'm in nowhere near the same level as you are ^_^
Joel : Don't feed my ego. It's already huge. Like my guns!
Kelly : i'll try my best to make it in time for the challenge tomorrow
Joel : Man, that puzzle challenge you guys did looked crazy. I didn't expect the games to be that tough and complicated.

Joel – CONFESSIONAL : Managed to actually have a conversation with her (haven't had 1 normal conversation except with Rudy), so I acted aggressively and approached her with a watch-your-back alliance. At this point, I don't know if it's necessarily real or strong on her end. For now, I'm going to make her my parachute ally. I want to trust Rudy, but I don't know if I can yet. He also posted that he's been having problems logging on, so I'm not sure how reliable he will be down the road. He might just be trying to fly UTR and saying that as an excuse to be somewhat inactive, knowing full well that he's safe, due to his secret alliance with me

Meanwhile, an interesting idea of a cross-tribal women’s alliance was being entertained by the Quechua girls.

Kelly : the Aymara girls, Gretchen! I just realized something, if you send a message to Amber of Aymara considering the all-girl alliance during the next challenge, we might be able to set ourselves a super alliance come merge time! ^_^
Gretchen : great idea!! Hey Susan.. How do you feel about a women's alliance? We're tired of seeing men win Survivor all the time, and not since Amber has a female won when put up against a guy in the finals.
Susan : a woman's alliance sounds good to me. I haven't a clue what is going on in this game right now because I seem to work or sleep when everyone else is on. I've gotta get my head in the game or risk being voted out in the near future.


Aymara, Day 4

It’s the day of the next immunity challenge and Alicia riles up her tribemates to discuss who’s the person that the tribe can afford to lose if they lose the next immunity challenge.

Alicia : Since Tribal is right after the IC, lets try to agree on who is next just in case. I know we WILL NOT lose, but you have to prepare, right? I say we vote out Colby or Rodger. At least Colby is participating, Rodger does not seem to want to.
Kel : I'm interested in Rodger. Colby is going to be an easy target later.
Jerri : I think it best if Rodger were to go -- he has RL issues to attend to, and Colby is also pretty entertaining in a "did he really just say that?" kinda way.
Alicia : Ok, but lets not lose again!
Jerri : Amen, we need to pick the other team off, too.
Elisabeth : I agree. But we aren't going to lose again!
Alicia : point one for Elizabeth; you have a good attitude!



Quechua, Day 4

It’s the day of the immunity challenge and Gretchen sees the opportunity to feel Joel out.

Gretchen : morning dude! I always wonder if the rest of the posts are fake, because no one else ever seems to be here the same time as me!
Joel : DUDE...Me too! I was around like all day yesterday and NO ONE was here. I was wondering what's going on!
Gretchen : I keep checking in from time to time, but I was always the only one here! And these tree mail messages don't tell me SHIT!
Joel : Yeah, thank the heavens for Kelly. It seems like Greg did pretty well for us too. Are you going to make today's challenge? I'm going to try really hard not to fall asleep today, and hopefully I'll be there
Gretchen : yes, I'm "planning" on being present for tonight's challenge, but I'm also in the middle of a project deadline of 8 p.m. tonight, my time!

Between her planned alliance of Kelly and Susan and the Aymara girls… Gretchen is also putting her other alliance in place.

Gretchen : Hey Sonja, Kelly.. we might want to think about pulling someone else in as a 4th. FWIW - Joel might be a good candidate since he seems to check in frequently and send messages. Also, we can pick him off later since we outnumber him! I haven't heard from anyone else, but if either of you has another suggestion on who we can pull in, I'm all ears!
Sonja : Hi, why dont we all get aim names for this? Just a suggestion
Gretchen : that would work, except we'd all have to be online at the same time. at least with email, we can get the messages whenever. I still haven't heard anything from Susan, so I'm thinking we should maybe try to pull in one of the guys? She either isn't interested, isn't checking her messages, or is already aligned with the guys. I'm thinking it's probably not checking her messages since she hasn't been here that much.

Meanwhile, one of the guys updates his trusted ally on what he’s been missing.

Joel : Hey what's up Rudy. Just updating you about what's been happening on my own end. So far, our camp has been like empty the whole time when I was on today and yesterday. On the 1st day, I met you and Greg. I barely talked to Greg before he left though. He seems nice enough and active though.Had a brief conversation with Kelly, and she seems cool so far.
Today, I managed to talk to Gretchen longer than 2 PMs. She actually said the same thing about not seeing anyone at camp. So I think what's been happening is that both her and I have been sort of randomly checking camp throughout the day and just happened to miss one another. It seems like the most active people are Kelly, Gretchen, Greg, you, and myself. So that might be the future majority on our tribe. I have not talked game with anyone but you so far, but hopefully they will bond with us and we can all watch out for one another.

Just after sending his update, Joel sees Gretchen appearing again at camp, and give the same spiel he did to Kelly.

Joel : Hey wassup girl. Nice to catch you again. Wow, today sure is a busy day. I'm so happy whenever I see another soul around this place. Sue was here for a bit before disappearing, so it's been exciting for me lol
Gretchen : I notice Sue hasn't been here a lot, at least based on her posts. I think you and me are the wordy bastards around here! So...have you given any thought to who you would vote out if we lost the challenge?
Joel : Ugh. I don't even want to think about voting people off. We better not lose today! Haven't really thought of it yet, but if we do, it'd probably be best to vote out someone who isn't active. I dunno. What do you think about looking out for one another in the future and keeping each other up to date on things
Gretchen : sounds like a good plan!
Joel : Cool. I feel like I can trust you, and I've talked to you the most, so I'm happy I found someone to confide in :D
Gretchen : Likewise
Joel : Wow. Greg is here too now! This is like the busiest I've ever seen the tribe. Hey! What's up G! Long time no see. Whatcha been up to? Good job at the challenge the other day
Greg : Thanks! Do you have a link to the challenge area yet?
Joel : Yeah, I got the link to the Challenge Arena and took a look at it the other day. That puzzle looked HARD geez. I was expecting something easier. Good thing you guys did it instead. Hopefully, we'll win again today :D

Joel – CONFESSIONAL : I think the natural alliance that would develop would be an Active's Alliance between myself, Kelly, Gretchen, Rudy, and Greg. So my plan is to work all of them in some way. I already have my alliances set-up with Rudy and Kelly. So now I have to get in good with Greg and Gretchen, and I'll be good to go. I've initiated the alliance with Kelly and Rudy, so I will wait to be invited into an alliance with the other 2. I'm assuming that the future gameplay dynamics will wake the others up to the importance of forming alliances and strategizing.


Tree Mail is posted in both Aymara and Quechua camps :

“Let the one without sin
cast the first stone,
This challenge you must win
or your future will be unknown .”

Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett welcomes the tribes to the second immunity challenge which leaves them wondering what it was all going to be about.

Jeff Probst – Challenge Instructions : Welcome to the second Immunity Challenge.
Okay guys, I want the ONE person on the tribe who you think is 'the most sinless' to volunteer. Interpret that however you want.

Elisabeth volunteers for Aymara and Gretchen volunteers for Quechua.

Mark Burnett – Challenge Instructions : Okay, we need Elisabeth and Gretchen to report back to your confessional threads at your tribal forums immediately. After you have followed our instructions there, you are finished with the challenge. Thank you. Please be reminded. No one is to discuss anything with Elisabeth nor Gretchen during this challenge. They have been banned from the forums and are unable to PM. They may only view their confessionals for this challenge. Any break in this rule will result in an automatic DQ for the tribe.

Instructions are given privately to Elisabeth and Gretchen in their respective confessionals.

“Your task is to assign SIX deadly sin to the SIX other players (excluding yourself) from your tribe. For Quechua, you MUST sit someone out in this challenge (ie. by sitting someone out, I mean, you MUST leave one person from your team out of the Sin list).
Quechua - Gervase, Greg, Joel, Kelly, Rudy, Sonja and Susan (you must sit someone out)
Aymara - Alicia, Amber, Colby, Jerri, Kel and Rodger

For example :

1) Anger - no one
2) Envy - Earl
3) Gluttony - Stacy
4) Greed - Dreamz
5) Lust - Cassandra
6) Pride - Yao Man
7) Sloth - Boo

It is up to you which sin is not assigned to a tribemember.

Explanation of sins:

Anger - This is the tribemate who has the lowest temper of anyone on the tribe. They are often volatile, and rarely judge situations fairly.
Envy - This is the tribemate who is the most jealous of other tribemates. They typically have low self esteem and long for the qualities of other tribemates.
Greed - This tribemate has no desire to look out for other's interests. They are the most selfish. They are likely to want the most alliances, yet value them the least.
Gluttony - This castmate is most likely the heaviest outside of the game. They can never eat enough food. They horde the food.
Lust - This tribemate is the most promiscuous or slutty. They are the most likely to use their body as a weapon in the game of Survivor.
Pride - This tribemate thinks extremely highly of themselves. They are most likely to stab others in the back just to win. They desire to be the best at everything.
Sloth - This tribemate is the laziest and rarely participates in tribal activities. They can hardly be seen because they are too busy sitting on their ass.”

Elisabeth :
Anger – Colby
Envy- Alicia
Gluttony – Kel
Greed – Rodger
Lust – Jerri
Pride - Amber
Sloth – no one

Gretchen :
1) Anger - no one
2) Envy - Joel
3) Gluttony - Susan
4) Greed - Kelly
5) Lust - Gretchen
6) Pride - Greg
7) Sloth - Gervase
sat out: Rudy

Jeff Probst : Hi Gretchen. Just to inform you that you weren't supposed to assign a sin to yourself. So by default, we will change that to the team mate that's left : Sonja (did you forget her?).

Back at the Challenge Beach ……

Jeff Probst : Lis and Gretchen have done their part. Now it's over to Burnett for the next (fun) part of this challenge
Mark Burnett : Challenge Instructions - There are seven deadly sins : Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, Sloth. Elisabeth and Gretchen have each assigned SIX of these six deadly sins to the rest of you on Aymara and Quechua. (On Quechua... Rudy is not included in the list of six people assigned). One of those 7 sins has been left out. Your challenge is to figure out who Gretchen and Elisabeth have assigned to each sin. Another part is figuring out which of the 7 deadly sins was not assigned to anyone. We will post the sin and an explanation of that sin that was given to Gretchen and Elisabeth. You then have one minute to respond with the person you think Gretchen and Elisabeth assigned to the sin. If you guess incorrectly, you must continue guessing in the 2nd round. However, if you correctly match the person to the sin, then you may move on to the next sin. The tribe that finishes matching their tribemates to all of the 7 sins FIRST wins. That means in the least amount of rounds. A new round begins after each answer is given.

Round 1 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)

Jerri : Alicia (wrong)
Susan : me for my tribe (wrong)

Round 2 :
Jerri : Jerri? (wrong)
Kelly : Gretchen (wrong)

Round 3 :
Jerri : Colby
Kelly : Sonja (wrong)

Mark Burnett : Colby was the correct answer Aymara. You are moving on to the next sin which puts you in the lead. Quechua, youre answering too slowly. And for the record, an answer cannot be Elisabeth or Gretchen.

Round 4 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most envious tribemate? (2nd sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)

Jerri : Alicia?
Kelly : Rudy? (wrong)

Mark Burnett : Alicia was the correct answer. Rudy was the incorrect answer. Aymara, you are moving on to the next sin. Quechua, you are still stuck on the first sin.

Round 5 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most greedy tribemate? (3rd sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)

Jerri : Kel? (wrong)
Kelly : me (wrong)

Round 6 :
Jerri : me? (wrong)
Kelly : Greg (wrong)

Round 7 :
Jerri : Amber (wrong)
Kelly : Gervase (wrong)

Round 8 :
Jerri : Rodger
Kelly : Joel (wrong)
Susan : clearly gretchen doesn't know me cuz I'm pretty angry right now

Mark Burnett : Quechua was incorrect. Aymara was correct. Aymara moving on to sin #4. Quechua still on sin #1.
Susan : how the fuck are we incorrect we don't have anyone left!!
Kelly : WHAT!?!?!?!? WE ALREADY ANSWERED OUR ENTIRE TRIBE!
Mark Burnett : you need to reread the rules
Greg : This game is rigged

Round 9 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most glutonous tribemate? (4th sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)

Jerri : Kel
Kelly : Sue (wrong)

Mark Burenett : Once again. Quechua you are incorrect. I suggest you reread the rules. Aymara, you were spot on. You will be moving on to sin #5.

Round 10 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most lustful tribemate? (5th sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most angry tribemate? (1st sin)

Jerri : me
Greg : Unassigned

Mark Burnett : Quechua, you were finally correct. Aymara however, was also correct. Both moving on to another sin.

Round 11 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most proud tribemate? (6th sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most envious tribemate? (2nd sin)

Jerri : Unassigned
Greg : THANKS A LOT FOR USING OUR UNASSIGNED SIN AS THE FIRST ONE ! ! !!
Susan : well that way we end up voting someone out. even the producers of this game rig it for their own outcome.. how fucked is that?
Mark Burnett : Quechua, you have gone over your time limit. Aymara, you were incorrect.

Round 11 :
Jerri : Amber
Susan : Gervase (wrong)

Mark Burnett : Amber is correct. Gervase is incorrect.

Round 12 :
For Aymara: Who did Elisabeth assign as the most slothful tribemate? (7th sin)
For Quechua: Who did Gretchen assign as the most envious tribemate? (2nd sin)

Jerri : unassigned
Joel : Sue (wrong)

Mark Burnett : And with that! Aymara wins their first Immuntiy Challenge. Which means Quechua will be joining us for Tribal Council later tonight.

Alicia : Jerri! You are amazing! Love ya!
Susan : I'd like to go on record as saying this game was total BULLSHIT! making our first sin unassigned was a bullshit way to rig it for the other side to win
Jerri : yay elisabeth for picking good answers! and yay for alicia and kel helping me out! good try, you guys! hope your tribal council will be as fun as ours was last night, LOL.
Mark Burnett : BTW Susan, I agree that wasn't the smartest move, but you'll have to take that up with Gretchen seeing as she's the one who picked the answers.
Kel : hmm. sue looks like she should have been down for anger. .
Susan : that's the truth kel...that's the fucking truth...gretchen missed the boat on that one.
Jerri : You guys are gonna blame this all on Gretchen? M-kay...
Gretchen : thanks for the editorial comment Mark, but I didn't think any of our team came across as angry. Of course, I have no clue what the instructions were over here.
Jerri : WUTEVER GR3TCHEN!!!!!!11 OMG THES SI OBVIOSLEY AL UR FAULT!!!!1!!1! LOL
Kelly : Gretch, it was pandemonium on our side, i suggest you start calming Sue down

Amber – CONFESSIONAL : Greg and Sue are obnoxious! I seriously do *not* want to see them ever. I hope they both quit or get voted out by Gretchen and Joel. Ugh.

Elisabeth – CONFESSIONAL : we won! I carefully thought out my answers from the pm's we had left each other and think it paid off in the end. I have not been approached to join any alliances but I have heard that they exist. I don't want to be disposable so hope that "they" will try to woo me to join. We'll see.

Jerri – CONFESSIONAL : I'm glad Elisabeth picked who she did -- and like I said before, it's good that we're on the same wave-length. It was very crucial. We couldn't go through another tribal council, that would have torn the group apart -- that, and also we need the numbers for when we eventually merge! Can't have the other tribe getting ahead of themselves and thinking they're the shit, too.

Quechua, Day 4

After their chaotic performance at the immunity challenge, Quechua was indeed in a state of pandemonium still. Tired and frustrated, they start to talk as to who should be voted out tonight.

Joel : Hey Gretch. We lost the challenge by a landslide. People are PISSED! And I am too! Just letting you know what's up. Now we have to vote someone off ugh
Gretchen : well hell - I didn't know I'd be locked out of EVERYTHING while the challenge was going on. Can I count on you to push for Gervase, since he wasn't even here? I'll watch your back if it's ever necessary.

Feeling her ass might be on the line, Gretchen talks to Susan to calm her down and talk some sense into her.

Gretchen : Hey Susan, you can be pissed at me all you want, but we have a chance here to get the upper hand on the guys since there's only two of them here, and three of us. Do you want to throw our alliance into the shitter, or get rid of one of the guys according to plan? If so, I say Gervase, since he ain't here, and he's said he can't be here on the nights challenges are held.
Just my 2 cents.

Kelly reaffirms with Gretchen that her vote is not going for Gretchen tonight. Or is she just feeling her out?

Kelly : Gretchen, just so you know, i don't blame you for the challenge...who are we voting for tonight? i think it would be beneficial for the tribe if we get rid of someone who's not really active in the boards much.
Gretchen: Gervase. He's already said he can't be here on Tues and Thurs - and that's when the challenges are. You''ll have to convince Susan since she's pissed at me. I forget who is even here tonight!
Kelly : Susan's pissed at me too.
Gretchen : i jus sent her a message telling her she can be pissed at me and throw our alliance in the shitter, or take advantage of the lack of men present tonight and get the upper hand like we planned. we'll see what happens.

Kelly – CONFESSIONAL : We Just Had A TREMENDOUS meltdown at the second challenge. So much so that Susan is experienceing a meltdown, which should be a good reason to kick her off at tribal, relieving me the chance of having to break an alliance with Gretchen, consdiering she's mainly the reason we suffered this challenge

Joel tries to get assurance from Greg as to who he’ll be voting tonight.

Joel : Hey Greg. Who are you voting for? I'm thinking Gervase, since he is the most inactive
Greg : Yeahh OK But I would love to vote off Gretchen But gervase makes more sense
Joel : We can keep Gretchen around for another time, but we need her just in case there's a swap or something. We will need people who can attend TCs and vote for our tribe

Even though it looks like Gervase might be the casualty tonight, Greg and Susan have their little side chat which may turn things around at tonight’s tribal council.

Greg : Shall we vote out Gretchen for her dumb choices?
Susan : I'll vote gretchen for the same reason..dumb bitch LOL
Greg : I think those other guys voting Gervase
Susan : fuck I wanna leave...can we DOR? this game sucks balls


TRIBAL COUNCIL

Jeff Probst : Welcome to your first Tribal Council, Quechua. Voting is still open for now. Please come in
Gretchen : Do we get any discussion time? I expected some probing questions from the Probst!
Jeff Probst : So I'm pretty sure there's a lot you guys want to say about the challenge tonight. Let's have it.
Mark Burnett : Mmm, gretchen, there will be probing, But not from that queer probst. You're all mine for the next 30 minutes bitches. Muahahhaha. Let's start with you Gretchypoo. Do you feel at all responsible for the challenge loss today? If so, does that make you feel vulnerable tonight?
Gretchen : Ok guys - in case you haven't figured it out, I was locked out of the Challenge area so I have no idea what went on. Who wants to fill me in?
Mark Burnett : I will. Basically, Quechua got massacred because your answers sucked.
Jeff Probst : Be kind, Burnett. From the comments that I read at Challenge Beach, I just want to say that the challenge was not rigged. We asked the sins according to a predetermined order of the seven sins that was given to both Elisabeth and Gretchen.
Greg : Basically they screwed our team over by starting with the unassigned sin, Gretch
So we went through ALL the names , some twice, before getting it right
Gretchen : First of all, thanks for the compliment Mark. Second, that was a pretty shitty challenge to hold second when tribes haven't even gelled yet, so poopy on you!
Third - at least I SHOWED UP and VOLUNTEERED when no one else wanted to toe the line. I should get some credit for that.
Greg : Gretchen, you didn't answer the questions based on what the TV people were like?
How would you know what game Gervase is like -- he's never been here
Susan : you basically fucked us gretchen by making the first sin unassigned. we went through 7 or 8 rounds before we figured it out.
Gretchen : really Susan? I'm sorry I missed it over everyone pushing me to the front and then no one else stepping forward. Last I recall, you were still asking who was going to do it.
Susan : well you said immediately "I don't have any special instructions in my confessional" probably being a smartass and that caused confusion because some people assumed you volunteered and then the tribe started discussing it and you just kind of got it by default.
it was just stupid to pick anger as the unassigned when clearly I'm more angry than gluttenous... I mean wtf?
Greg : Who is gonna guess Unassigned when you have all these people you don't know the sin for? The other tribe got the unassigned sin when they had like two people left -- so 50/50
Second -- The instructions do not clearly state Gretchen is not included, at least I didn't see it -= so we lost time there
Mark Burnett : Okay, Susan: I saw you answering a lot of the questions. Is it frustrating being so wrong all the time? Do you feel like your outbursts might have put you in jeopardy tonight?
Susan : actually mark, I only answered a few times...Kelly was the quick typer who kept spouting off. as for putting myself in jeopardy I don't care. I say what I feel and if that puts people off so be it... I'm not fake.
Gretchen : clearly, I should have assigned anger to Susan.
Susan : I said it was rigged but clearly the sins were listed in order the same way for both teams. Lis gave an answer for anger and you didn't. why you didn't is beyond me. have you no clue who you're playing with? I'm one angry bitch gretchen... shit!
Gretchen : I didn't give an answer for Anger because the instructions said I could only assign SIX of the SEVEN sins. Frankly, I didn't think any of you were angry types. Silly me. Next time, why don't YOU show up and volunteer? Maybe if you guys didn't suck so bad at guessing, we wouldn't be pissing in the wind right now.
Greg : Going in alphabetic order was a Choice you guys made --- it didn't say it had to be in the rules..............They fucked us over by choosing to give us our Unused Sin first
I VOTE OFF JEFF PROBST
Jeff Probst : Sorry Greg. But the SAME order was given to BOTH Elisabeth and Gretchen in their instructions.
Mark Burnett : Frankly, my opinion is that everyone tried their best, gretchen included. You were all kind of discombobulated in the challenge and the results suffered for that. Better luck next time. Greg, is there a weak link to this tribe that you could get rid of tonight?
Greg : YES ME
I AM THE WEAK LINK
EVERYBODY VOTE ME OFF!!!
Susan : WTF? that's bullshit... vote me out...I'm having a breakdown. greg put is 34 incher on me and now I'm crying!
Joel : Okay guys, we're getting heated, and the loss was all our faults (hosts included!). But let's not get mad at one another. We can't let something like this divide us. That biatch Jerri was hella stirring the pot at the challenge
Mark Burnett : Joel, if it were up to you, what would you choose to vote off tonight? Someone who was hurting the tribe in challenges? Someone who was hurting the tribe morale? Or someone who is never present?
Joel : If it were up to me, I'd vote off an inactive. We need participation for the future, especially if there is a tribe swap or something. Today's challenge was vague for all of us, and it wasn't 1 particular individual's fault
Mark : Okay guys, let's begin to wrap things up... Voting takes place by posting in your confessionals.
Kelly : The most logical thing to do is vote someone who isn't really contributing much to the tribe
Jeff Probst : I love seeing how passionate you guys are about the game, and I'm not even being sarcastic! Seriously though.. I also think it was also luck on Aymara's part that Elisabeth didn't put <nobody> for their first sin, or they would've struggled as you guys did. You guys played hard, but I think this is just bad luck.
Kelly : we're a great tribe, we just need to focus more, if anything the challenge told us how much we need to bond as a group
Mark Burnett : Okay guys, let's begin to wrap things up... Voting takes place by posting in your confessionals.
Jeff Probst : Susan, are you voting tonight? I have votes from Greg, Gretchen, Joel and Kelly.
Greg : Well Sue and I voted for each other and cancelled each other's votes out and Sue fell asleep 20 minutes ago
Susan : you better sleep with one eye open tonight Greg..seriously you don't know who you're dealin with.
Greg : Well, it's not like you're the tribesmate with the most ANGER, Sue. . . .. .
