Episode 02

[Holly Hoffman]

Well congratulations on surviving the first round of your Stranded career. But the vote didn’t look as unanimous as the tribe’s cacique vote.

What do you take out of your first tribal council?

How does John’s eviction influence your own game?

Where do you think you stand in the tribe?

What do you take out of your first tribal council?

Well my anxiety was through the roof when I saw that my name was the first vote read. But it got me thinking- Sarah's vote for me was common knowledge. If they really wanted a unanimous vote, why didn't John and Peter try and flip their votes to me to ensure that I left instead of one of them? Wouldn't that make the most sense? They must have REALLY thought Gabe, the General and Vee were with them. I guess what I took away is that even when you think you're safe you can get nervous. And that most of my tribe are amateurs. I took out my biggest threat earlier tonight.

How does John’s eviction influence your own game?

John was the biggest threat on this tribe. What it does is shift the power alliance from John/Sarah/Peter to Patricia/myself. We've just got to make sure that we keep level heads and make sure no one knows we're working so closely together. And we have to pick our allies carefully.

Where do you think you stand in the tribe?

I went from near the bottom to towards the top in 12 hours. Goes to show you how insane this game is. I'm just hoping this is a linear line and not a bell curve.

[Jeff Probst]

What happens between you and Sarah now. It seems that everyone knows you two are not the best of friends, do you use that to your advantage? In some ways was it good that you know she voted for you and she didn't lie about it, or does that make it all the more scary knowing she is safe and she is the Cacique and does have some power?

[Gina]

Sarah has no power in this game aside from immunity. She would have gone tonight if she didn't have it.

Her and I are also on good (ish?) terms now. She shared an idol clue with me, or rather, what she thinks is an idol clue. I'm not sure if it's legit, or if anyone else even received it. I'm inclined to think its genuine just because she needs some friends right about now. I might poke around and see if she shared with anyone else, but I won't be giving that info up willingly. Well, maybe to Pat.
