1. What are your thoughts regarding Adam's boot from Hestur? What do you think might have gone down and how does it affect your game, if at all?
Honestly, I have no idea what happened there. Our tribe speculated after the challenge who they would vote out and thought maybe Penner, given the backlash against him for losing them the challenge. It's hard to say what's going on there. Adam seemed like a nice guy, but maybe too nice/laidback which isn't always a good thing either. I kind of feel like Rocky and JP might have that same personality, which doesn't necessarily seem like a good thing in challenges.
2. You've had some time to get to know your newer tribemates in the past day or so, are tribal lines still in effect or is that line beginning to blur a bit?
Jessica and Papa S both proposed that we stick together after the tribe shake-up and agreed, but I've also proposed to Nate that he join the three of us to avoid a tie and keep he and I safe. He seems like a good guy, so I hope he does side with us, but he said he's worried about betraying his ex-tribemates. I think the closer we get and the more we win, the more those lines because to blur, but I'd like to not have to worry about ever going to tribal council until after the merge, if I'm being honest.
3. Have you thought about tribal lines on the other tribes? Who do you think would stay loyal to their original tribes and who do you think might join up with new friends?
I have thought about the tribe lines elsewhere. I know I had talked to Anthony and Lilliana about working with them before the tribe shake up, but I'm not entirely sure that they will want to continue working together when the tribes merge again. My hope is that they will, because that would be an easy alliance that I trust, but there's no guarantee that they're not making separate alliances as well. I know I'm thinking about that, for sure.
4. If you could vote someone out from your tribe right now, who would it be and why? Probably JP. I think Cecilia's strong in challenges, so she's good to keep around for now. That being said, I also think she's a strong personality and player, so she might be good to get rid of early, but if we lose, it might be better to get rid of the closest person to deadweight, which is JP, in my mind.
5. Please give a full ranking of your tribe and don't go light on the dirt. Spill the beans for us.
I'm going to rank them based on how much I trust them right now:
1. Jessica - The only flaw I can find in Jessica is that I don't know if she'd be working with me if the tribes had stayed the way they originally were. I think our alliance was borne out of necessity. Though, sometimes those kind of alliances are the strongest. That being said, she also feels very candid and honest. Whether she actually is or not, I'm not sure.
2. Papa S - I don't think Papa S has much more going for him than his alliance with Jessica and I, so I feel like I can trust him. He seems loyal to the original tribe lines and I think he, unlike Jessica, would probably be someone I could talk to even if the tribes hadn't shifted. He may be a bit of a follower though.
3. Nate - Nate is someone I feel like I can be honest with. That being said, he's also someone I'm suspicious of because he could swing either way when the time comes. At least I know that he'll probably target Jessica or Papa S instead of me, considering I've voiced that I'm willing to work with him.
4. Cecilia - As I said, Cecilia is a strong player, but she's also nice. She boosts tribe morale and works hard, but I also think that if we have to go to tribal in the future, she'll definitely be on the opposite side of the vote.
5. JP - Like I said before, JP is funny and cool, but nothing about him says that he has a desire to win challenges, which is somewhat problematic. I want people on our tribe who are raring to go when the time comes and, with him, I always worry whether he'll have the motivation to do whatever is required of us.
