Welcome Pukaroa, to your first Tribal Council as a new tribe.

You'll have until 9:20 to put your final votes in or change your votes should you need to.

So admittedly, I thought you guys did well in that challenge, yet you got smoked by Te Poto. Is the competition just heating up to a more competitive level?

Elizabeth, you seemed to be the one struggling the most.

[Jeff Probst]

Allie, at this point there have been two tribe swaps, a single player swap, partnerships and idols. Is the game becoming more individual and less veteran vs. newbie?

[Jeff Probst]

Stephannie, how was reuniting with some of the old players you left behind after the first swap?

Just wasn’t my luck. I felt absolutely gutted after. But seeing as our time was 30 seconds anyways. Tough competition for sure. We can do this though. I have faith in us!

[Jeff Probst]

Matt, are there any players in the game you feel like you do not know very well at this stage?

I think the game is more individual at this point. I think newbies vs veterans have proven to be out of the window so far. Sure there could be some relationships that could be dated back from the original tribes, but I think with the partnership twist, the swaps, and all of that... you can't really bank on just that to move forward in the game. And now we have a new tribe and we might have to play together for another 4 or 5 rounds :) So that might be new relationships again.

[Jeff Probst]

Ked, do you consider yourself approachable and easy to get along with?

[Jeff Probst]

Wardog, you're generally quieter around tribal. Are you nervous tonight?

[Stephannie]

Stephannie, how was reuniting with some of the old players you left behind after the first swap?

I had a great weekend, Jeff! Never a wrong time to shoot the shit or hang out.

[Jeff Probst]

Laura, how would you describe your new tribe vs. your old Te Poto tribe?

[Jeff Probst]

Sherri, are cross-tribal partnerships still influencing the tribe's decisions with external info?

[Wardog]

Wardog, you're generally quieter around tribal. Are you nervous tonight?

Easy to be quieter when I don’t usually get asked questions!


The Wardog doesn’t feel fear, The Wardog just... hopes for the best. I feel good, though, I feel like I’ve got some real good futures here! I hope so.

[Jed]

Ked, do you consider yourself approachable and easy to get along with?

Nice to see we're continuing the tradition of giving me new names.

I definitely do think I'm approachable and easy to get along with, why? Would you disagree? But seeing as we're playing this game behind screens, most of the time all you can do is be approachable and easy to get along with and if you're successful at it, it can take you a long way.

[Elizabeth]

Jeff got jokes. I almost pee’d my bathtub lol

[Matt]

Matt, are there any players in the game you feel like you do not know very well at this stage?

Yes! There are a few players I don’t feel very connected to (and one I haven’t even met yet!). I hope to work on these relationships so I minimize blindspots as the game moves forward (if I’m still around).

[Jeff Probst]

Reynold, you're another one we generally don't hear a lot from. Have you made good inroads with players on the tribe?

[Allie]

Jeff got jokes. I almost pee’d my bathtub lol

How long u been in that tub hahaha?

[Sherri]

Sherri, are cross-tribal partnerships still influencing the tribe's decisions with external info?

I'm sure that's still coming into play somewhat. Anyone with a partner on the other side would probably get a whole lot of different information that might come in useful over here. With that being said, I'm not sure it will always play a major role because some partners may not always agree on what they think should happen.

[Laura]

Laura, how would you describe your new tribe vs. your old Te Poto tribe?

I think both tribes were very easy to get along with, and I'm thankful that I haven't had a bad experience being on either tribe. Of course different personalities were at play, but at the same time very enjoyable.
