GINDIN Tribe: JURY VOTE IS IN

[Autumn]

Well, it's clear there's plenty of emotions in the camp still. I've got your votes here. Let's go ahead and read them. Maple Leafs was the winner of immunity in today's challenge. Maple Leafs, I assume you want to keep your necklace?

[Racer]

Autumn....

[Maple Leafs]

Are you insane?

Um, I mean, I'll keep it.

[Autumn]

If anybody has a hidden immunity idol that they'd like to play, now would be the time.

[Racer]

I'm going to play a hidden immunity idol tonight

[Racer]

But.............

[Autumn]

Votes for Maple Leafs cannot be cast then. (Which really means if anyone in the future ever wants to pass the necklace they need to do it right after the challenge).

[Racer]

I'm going to give it Danny to play. The move might send me packing, but he's my ally and my best guess on who the villager tribe is voting for tonight. If I get voted out tonight then so be it. I'm as good as dead with out my allies anyways. Danny, here's the idol.

[Autumn]

All right, Danny. Bring the idol here if you'd like to play it.

[Thomkal]

verrrry interesting...

[SnDvls]

Wow!!!

[Maple Leafs]

Well, this just got very Survivor-ish ...

[Danny]

I will play it

[Autumn]

Let's see this ...

Yes, this truly is an immunity idol. Any votes cast for Danny will not count. I will now read the votes.

[Autumn]

The first vote cast is for ...

Heybrad

[Autumn]

The second vote cast is for Hoopsguy.

[Autumn]

The third vote cast is for SnDvls.

That's one vote Heybrad, one vote Hoopsguy, one vote SnDvls.

[Autumn]

The fourth vote cast is for Hoopsguy.

That's 2 votes Hoopsguy.

[Autumn]

The fifth vote cast is for ...

SnDvls. That's 2 votes Hoopsguy, 2 votes SnDvls.

[Autumn]

The sixth vote cast is for SnDvls.

That's 3 votes SnDvls.

[Autumn]

The seventh vote cast is for ...

Hoopsguy. That's 3 votes Hoopsguy, 3 votes SnDvls.

[Autumn]

The eighth vote cast is for SnDvls.

That's 4 votes SnDvls, 3 votes Hoopsguy, 1 vote Heybrad.

[Autumn]

The ninth vote cast, and the first member of our jury is ...

SnDvls.

[Autumn]

Come put out your torch, SnDvls. The tribe has spoken.

[Racer]

Dangit.

[Autumn]

Well, it certainly looks like the old tribes are indeed alive and well in Tribe Gindin. A night of twists and close guesses. You can all go back to your camp now. I'll see you tomorrow.

[Thomkal]

You had to try Racer, could have worked.

[Poli]

Boom goes the dynamite.

[hoopsguy]

Hmm, pretty well played by both sides.

Interesting that the werewolf tribe would complain that no one would talk to them but then all vote for a person they never contacted today. Or at least I'm going to assume that they lined up as a group on me.

Survive and advance. Wait, that isn't the right slogan ... can someone who actually watches this show help me out here?

[chesapeake]

Great drama. Sorry it ended for you, SnDvls.

Good night all.

[Autumn]

Please send in your actions for Day 8 if you have not already. Thanks.

[SnDvls]

well I'm off to take a hot shower, sleep in a bed and get a good steak dinner. see ya mo fo's at jury

[hoopsguy]

OK, someone want to explain to me how this jury concept works?

[Danny]

They all vote at the end to decide the winner between the final 3. So, if you remaining villagers do decide to continue voting out the wolves we will likely decide who ends up winning along with whatever three villagers you guys end up screwing over.

[Autumn]

Hoops, the members of the jury will be the ones who will vote on the eventual winner. When the game gets to a final three, those three will have an opportunity to state their case in front of the jury. The jury will then vote and decide the one winner of Survivor.

Everybody voted off from today until there are three left will be on the jury.

[Autumn]

I thought I should also say, for those who don't watch the show, what the difference between the immunity idol and the necklace are.

The necklace is waht you earn during the immunity challenge. If you are wearing it at council no one can vote for you at all. So this is known before the vote. It is possible to pass the necklace. if so no one can vote for that person.

In contrast, the immunity idol is played *after* the votes are cast. It can also be passed, obviously. Once the idol is played, no votes against that person will be counted. So the one happens before votes, the other after.

"Outlast, Outwit, Outplay"

[Racer]

I have one thing to say today.

I hope everyone realizes that the wolves will likely make-up 3/7th of the jury. If you totally brush aside, you'll probably lose the game. I'm not saying you have to take Danny and I to the final four, but you can't totally ignore us either and expect to get our votes.

I've already said this to one person on your tribe, but I thought I'd say it to everyone today. Really think about why we all decided to vote for the person we did yesterday and also about the type of player we would vote to win the game.

I can't speak for my fellow wolves, but if nothing changes, I'll probably be writing the same person's name that I wrote down last night for the million if that person is in the final two.

[Racer]

Oh and I'm out of PMs until 4:30, but if anyone wants to approach me after that I'll chat.

[Danny]

Wow, I was going to make an almost identical post to this.

[Danny]

I still have PM's left today myself.

[hoopsguy]

So why did the wolves decide that I was the person to target for the vote yesterday? It is not as if I snubbed you, since not a single one of you contacted me.

Once you decided to vote as a group and make the immunity play I understand that you had to pick someone. But taking a run at me isn't exactly the best way to build warm feelings from me when it comes to votes today/tomorrow ... so I would at least like to understand the thought process you took yesterday in terms of shutting out the village (to my knowledge, none of us got PMs from your group) and going it alone.

I'll have the conversation in the thread since Racer is out of PMs.

[Racer]

Well lets just say I'll be voting for whoever I think is the best power player in the final two.

[Autumn]

Up for grabs again today will be individual immunity. Tonight there will be a tribal council and one of you will be sent home.

Today's challenge will require each of you to be blindfolded. Once blindfolded you will encounter a wooden carved mask at the start line. You will have three bags of puzzle pieces which you must carry, one bag at a time, across an obstacle course. You will be required to run, blindfolded, finding your way across these obstacles to drop off the bag, and then back again.

Once all three bags of pieces have been brought to your finish line you will find another carved mask, similar to the one at the start, but missing quite a bit. Still blindfolded you will use your puzzle pieces to complete the mask to be a replica of the mask at the start.

The first contestant to correctly finish their mask will be the winner.

[Maple Leafs]

I'd just like to say that post-vote tribal fights/threats are one of the best parts of Survivor and I strongly encourage them.

[hoopsguy]

When do we get to the arm-wrestling challenge?

[Maple Leafs]

So do I have it right that it will be a final three, and a six-person jury?

Because if you make the final three, I'd say you have a strong chance of taking it from whichever two are with you. As Racer stated, while we voted to remove you, we also will likely be voting you to win if you're still around in the final three.

Also, we never received messages from you guys either and you obviously had the plan to vote with eachother as well.

That's the impression I had.

[Danny]

The best play right now honestly would be for a 3 person villager alliance to team up with the remaining wolves oust the other three villagers and then the two wolves to take themselves to the final three.
