Day 12 - Tribal Council #5

[General]

General, is this between you and Sean/Vee as to which person is going on, or do you think there's a chance that Tamanaco may turn on their own?

Well, last challenge before the swap. We noticed that Frank was vocal about his tribe being all together. So within first few day, I tried to see if this crack was real. Can Frank be willing to turn on his own or his tribemates be willing to vote him out 'cause they never liked him.

We'll see tonight if that challenge was a big act or not

[Vecepia]

Vecepia, who of your former Mariche members would you prefer to lose tonight if one of you has to go?

I would prefer if either of them went to be honest. The most important thing in this game is keeping yourself in the game. I'm good friends with both of them and it would suck to lose either equally.

[Jeff Probst]

Lex, has the merge come up in conversation or is it too early for that? Do you think that Sean/Vee/General will have some connections with former Mariche Members that would benefit a Tamanaco member to align with

[Mia Galeotalanza]

Sean, does it surprise you that Vecepia seems so concerned with just living to see another day in this game?

[General]

+ i'm worried because i've receive a last minute PM that it might be me going home tonight.

I know that if things go in tribal line. It could very well be me going home. I just think there's is far other people to take care of before me..
I've been cool and social with everyone and there at challenge (except sunday) I feel like I've a lot to bring to this tribe and this game in the long run.
I dont want to go home this early!!! I feel like other people havent made as much effort as me to get to know other at the swap

[Sean]

Sorry Vee and General but I have to do this as I know its a surprise to you,

I can only assume that the four of you have discussed it and have decided upon who will be leaving. I'm hoping the people that we have talked to are really with us, and this is the only way to guarantee it. Id rather waste my idols, then go home without playing them. However, now the time for private chat is over and all we have left to do if discuss in this forum. Although I would have loved to have waited I think that it's now or never. So I present you with this:

Congratulations, you have found a hidden immunity idol by correctly cracking the Mariche password! This idol must be used no later then 10 minutes after voting closes, but may be be played any time before. Please clearly state with your vote, IF and WHOM you are using your idol on. All votes cast against the used upon participant will be void.

I know that the vote is probably for me tonight. Frank or Lex, I'm using one of these tonight on myself. Since Kim and Linda are not here you really can't change your vote and get majority. If one of you joins me, vee, and the general I will give you the other.

#YOLO

[Jeff Probst]

Lex, reactions?

[Lex]

Yes, the merge has come up in a lot of conversations. People are speculating the merge will be after the next tribal council (not this one), since the merges were at 12 people on the website. (Not sure if this is true or not, haven't checked it).

I haven't really asked if the three of them have connections with Mariche members because it's an awkward topic... to me it seems like they don't because the other tribe had no problem winning quickly, which would send the 3 ex-Mariche members to tribal down in numbers.

Yes, that's an option I'm sure a lot of people come across, and votes really kill me because I don't want to do them, but I think about what my favorite Survivor players would do in this scenario and that's what I try to base my decisions off of.

[Frank]

Oh I'm in utter shock. Not really.

Wait, what trade are you willing to make for one of those beautys?

[Jeff Probst]

Sean, are you going to negotiate with the other tribemembers now that you have revealed that you have idols?

7 minutes before votes are final.

[Sean]

I'd rather only use one tonight to save myself and not waste one on another pre-Mariche member. Moving into the merge we're going to need one. I'll give one to you if you vote linda with us. I'm hoping we'll still use it to move forward together but i will put it in your possesstion if eith erof you vote Linda. Otherwise I'm using them both on pre-mariche members.

[Lex]

That's a really good job finding those idols, we searched for ages. ;-; Jeff please tell me the passwords weren't the same...

[Vecepia]

Lol at the yolo.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

How does this change tonight's vote?

[Sean]

Another note. I'm here for this challenge. We are going to need numbers. the old mariche is a misfit family that doesnt get along. there is no "old mariche" to worry about. we are strong Tamanaco now. Use us. Linda isnt even here for the challenge tonight. How are we to move forward if we can't win a challenge.

[Jeff Probst]

4 minutes.

[Frank]

You realize that if you use both you won't make the merge yourself? If we lose next challenge, and we vote 3-3 , cacique decides who goes home. Don't bluff what you can't pull.

However, It does sound tempting to get one of those for myself...how do I know you'll give it to me though?

[General]

Woooow grats Sean!

Honestly guys.

She's not there but Linda is just worthless. she just havent made an effort to talk with any of us and she's been barely active in the past few days. I know she's a number and next vote.

[Sean]

You'll still have control with 3-3 since Kim breaks ties as well.

[Sean]

I'll give it to Jeff to hold onto. He can give it to you after the tribal. If i leave im taking it from jeff on my way out though,
