Day 34 - Tribal Council #18

[Jeff Probst]

Welcome everyone,

Let's bring in the jury: Taj, Gregg, Brenda, Naonka, Sarah, Teresa and Willard voted out at the last council. The jury is reminded that they may only post smileys.

First thing's first: Frank, you won Individual Immunity for the third time in a row... You keeping it?

Also players, tonight since there are only 5 of you and everyone is keeping their cards close to chest, you will have only 20 minutes to get your votes in. Voting is due and final at 9:20:00

[Cirie]

Oh Jeff, I won't keep my cards close to my chest.

[Gina]

Oh Jeff, I won't keep my cards close to my chest.

Your chest sticks out like three feet though

[Frank]

Do you even have to ask?

[Jeff Probst]

Oh Jeff, I won't keep my cards close to my chest.

And why is that?

Was anyone surprised by what Cirie had to say in her time on Exile?

[Jeff Probst]

Gina, you were the worst performer in the challenge tonight. Do you fear that the jury might equate your pathetic performance with your overall performance in this game?

[Jeff Probst]

Rudy, is there anyone in the game that you currently trust 100%?

[Jeff Probst]

Frank, do you know who is going home tonight and will that person be expecting it?

[Rudy]

I was a bit surprised in the Gina reveal backup.

[Lindsey Richter]

You guys are lucky. I should be doing my homework but I want to be with you all! <3

Rudy, so close to the end now. How are you feeling now that archrival Willard is gone? Relieved?

[Lindsey Richter]

Paloma, do you think the jury is rooting for anyone in the final 5 in particular? If so, does that play into how you vote tonight?

[Jeff Probst]

I was a bit surprised in the Gina reveal backup.

Why is that, do you believe that there are plans going on that you were not apart of?

[Frank]

Frank, do you know who is going home tonight and will that person be expecting it?

I think I do. It makes sense to me, and I think it makes sense to other people as well. If it is that person, I think they'd be expecting it.

[Jeff Probst]

Gina, were you shocked by Cirie's unknowing confession that you were her back up vote?

[Frank]

Cirie realized she was being watched. I wouldn't take anything she said as actual fact.

[Jeff Probst]

Frank, do you trust Cirie?

[Gina]

Gina, you were the worst performer in the challenge tonight. Do you fear that the jury might equate your pathetic performance with your overall performance in this game?

Wow, the hosts fucking hate me this season.

I don't think challenge performance has any tie to my overall performance in this game. In fact, I'd say the fact that I haven't needed to win any challenges has been a testament to my skills socially. There are people here who need challenges to stay alive- whereas all I've had to rely on is my social tact and strategy. Last time I checked all the huge challenge threats except Frank are sitting on the jury bench and I'm still playing.

[Frank]

Frank, do you trust Cirie?

No. She just tried to vote for me 24 hours ago, why would I?

[Rudy]

Rudy, is there anyone in the game that you currently trust 100%?

Nope not at all. This alliance of 4 spent the merge throwing each other under the bus and have recently imploded, but I wouldn't surprised if I was still somehow booted tonight. That being said, I haven't trusted someone 100% in a long long time.

Rudy, so close to the end now. How are you feeling now that archrival Willard is gone? Relieved?

Willard's presence never threatened me to begin with. He just served 0 purpose to me which is why I always wanted him gone. I'm always worried about my position in the game.

[Taj]

[Gina]

Gina, were you shocked by Cirie's unknowing confession that you were her back up vote?

I was, until I heard the reasoning behind it. It made perfect sense to me afterwards. I was initially taken aback, though because I thought we were super tight.

[Paloma]

Paloma, do you think the jury is rooting for anyone in the final 5 in particular? If so, does that play into how you vote tonight?

I think they have their bets, I am just not sure who is rooting for whom. At this point, I try not to think about it. Because even we are now at F5, the finals seems so far to me.

[Rudy]

I was a bit surprised in the Gina reveal backup.

Why is that, do you believe that there are plans going on that you were not apart of?

No, but Cirie's reasoning for Gina as her back up vote just seemed... hmm maybe a gif would express this better:

[Lindsey Richter]

Cirie, what did you think of your time at exile?

[Gina]

Frank, do you trust Cirie?

No. She just tried to vote for me 24 hours ago, why would I?
