An advantage in the IC maybe -Man, Aras' crew is really looking OTT as they look at Eliza and Mikey eating -Ut oh, Aras just got what's usually a kiss of death in your stories, the "I have to win immunity or I'm gone today" plot, I can't remember a single person who got that story and wasn't voted out the same episode. -Hmm, maybe I spoke too soon about that, with the strategy to get rid of Shera before the IC... -Woohoo Aras wins, looks like my prediction that he'll go on a long immunity winning streak is right so far. -This is getting a bit confusing here, lets see, 3 votes for Sherea, 3 votes for Eliza, 1 vote for Alexis, 1 undecided vote.Hmm, so Sherea is screwed then probably. -Umm... what happened to the 'twist' after the RC Jeff mentioned? COMMENTS & QUESTIONS (A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. This was a pretty good episode, though with a bit of a weak ending, but decent overall. It certainly had be guessing some despite the boot sort of being revealed early on. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? Aras winning immunity again (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 8.25/10 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? Tracy (B) Who do you NOT want to be the Sole Survivor? Alexis. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 12? Mary (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 12? The majority alliance starts to play really dirty to try to make Aras lose immunity so they can finally get him out of here. Aras' group might play dirty against Eliza before the RC so she doesn't get a reward once again. I also think that Eliza is playing a great game now, maybe she'll continue to make the right decisions. 3. POPULARITY POLL Alexis - 2 Ami - 6 Aras - 9 Brooke - 6 Chet - 3 Dave - 10 Earl - 3 Eliza - 8 Erik - 8 Ian - 6 Jason - 9 Joel - 3 Kathy - 3 Mary - 7 Mikey - 9 Natalie - 5 Ruth Marie - 1 Sherea - 4 Terry - 5 Tracy - 6 4. EDGIC POLL Alexis - UTR(MOR?)N2 Aras - MORN3 Brooke - CP(MOR?)2 Eliza - CPP(M?)5 Mary - OTTN3 Mikey - CP(P?)3 Sherea - UTR1 Tracy - CP(P?)4 Current Chart * Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 11 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Tracy (She had some good strategy cooling things over with Mikey, but now she and him have actually lost some power in the game, still I think her position on the list is unmatched by the others) 2. Mikey (Too N, and too OTTish early on, but hasn't been any of those things lately, he's really become a level headed player with a small negative tone, he's another dark horse) 3. Aras (He started to look more winnerish after the merge, but now he's going back to his old self as a MORN villain. He's a dark horse for sure, but I think his role will be the role of the real Terry, creating drama in the end game by constantly winning immunity again and again) 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" -Alexis (Too ignored) -Mary (Too ignored early on) -Eliza (Way too many 5 visibility episodes) Doesn't look good -Brooke (I think (hope anyway) that I'm one of the first people to do this to Brooke, but I don't think she's winning anymore. I now put Brooke as the front runner in a different list, my list of potential runner ups. There was one line from the recap I didn't notice last week that really stuck out like a sore thumb this week, "I think Mary was admitting to herself that they screwed up by voting for Sherea, but <long pause> I mean, let her have disdain for my decision", not worrying about what bitter feelings the jury has for you isn't a good strategy, especially after this vote, in which Brooke pissed off another person on the jury. So if Mary votes against Brooke for her betrayal then Brooke's lost 3 votes already, and then there's Aras and Alexis who might vote against her to. Pretty soon there's not even going to be a combination of votes to give Brooke a win, yet it's not as blatantly obvious as Dave as a F2 loser was for practically the whole season, which was exactly why Dave couldn't lose in the F2, and why Brooke can make it to the F2 and lose)

Posts: 3591 (07/24/08 8:14 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hello MasterDarkNinja, and thank you very much for those thorough comments. As always, I really enjyoed reading what you had to say and you brought up some great and very insightful points. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! :) Interesting thoughts during the episode - I will respond to a few of them: -What's Tracy mean by she pulled through tough times 'last time', first thing that popped into my mind when she said that was "what, she's not a favorite playing the game again". I know the notes got buried in a few pages of replies, but I think I did mention this: she was talking about after Jason got voted off (meaning that she lost an ally), and she got through that so she'll be okay after losing Kathy. -Hmm, Mary starts to unravel and get more emotional, she's reminding me somewhat of the real Amanda now, becoming an emotional wreck at the end of the game Yes, this is exactly how I would think of it too. -Ut oh, Aras just got what's usually a kiss of death in your stories, the "I have to win immunity or I'm gone today" plot, I can't remember a single person who got that story and wasn't voted out the same episode. I will have to keep that in mind from now on. I might have given James a confessional like that last season when he was winning all of his Immunities... -Umm... what happened to the 'twist' after the RC Jeff mentioned? It was just a "small twist" and that was that the Reward took place at camp. Everyone assumed that they'd be going away somewhere. Maybe I should have used a different wording instead. This was a pretty good episode, though with a bit of a weak ending, but decent overall. It certainly had be guessing some despite the boot sort of being revealed early on. Thank you. I'm glad you thought it was better than the last one, and that it was somewhat surprising at the end. I'm hoping Episode 12 will at least be as good. 8.25/10 Thanks, I'm very happy with that! :) (B) Who do you NOT want to be the Sole Survivor? Alexis. Well, it's a pretty good sign when there's only one person listed here. I think you're probably rooting for Aras the most though, and maybe Mikey or Eliza... Thanks for those very interesting Episode 12 predictions. I have to say that you're on the right track with some of those ideas, but they might play out a little differently. Thank you for filling out the Popularity Poll! Excellent Edgic ratings, as usual, and those Contenders / Eliminated lists also look very good! I'm impressed! 1. Tracy (She had some good strategy cooling things over with Mikey, but now she and him have actually lost some power in the game, still I think her position on the list is unmatched by the others) I agree that it was a good move for her to smooth things over with Mikey B. Hopefully it will play to their advantage since they're both good characters, I think. 3. Aras (He started to look more winnerish after the merge, but now he's going back to his old self as a MORN villain. He's a dark horse for sure, but I think his role will be the role of the real Terry, creating drama in the end game by constantly winning immunity again and again) Interestingly, I didn't think of him as a full-blown negative like the 2 girls. I thought he was not quite as bad as them (ie. Mixed), and I gave him that TCQ specifically where he said he "watched them eat for a little bit," meaning only for a few minutes. Of course, this is the part that would be shown on TV, but I did try to soften him a little bit. -Brooke (I think (hope anyway) that I'm one of the first people to do this to Brooke, but I don't think she's winning anymore. I now put Brooke as the front runner in a different list, my list of potential runner ups. There was one line from the recap I didn't notice last week that really stuck out like a sore thumb this week, "I think Mary was admitting to herself that they screwed up by voting for Sherea, but <long pause> I mean, let her have disdain for my decision", not worrying about what bitter feelings the jury has for you isn't a good strategy, especially after this vote, in which Brooke pissed off another person on the jury. So if Mary votes against Brooke for her betrayal then Brooke's lost 3 votes already, and then there's Aras and Alexis who might vote against her to. Pretty soon there's not even going to be a combination of votes to give Brooke a win, yet it's not as blatantly obvious as Dave as a F2 loser was for practically the whole season, which was exactly why Dave couldn't lose in the F2, and why Brooke can make it to the F2 and lose) Really interesting and insightful thoughts there. I think somebody else (although it may have been on FGC) said that Brooke is more likely to be the "Edgic loser" or the runner-up, but I forget who it was. A good theory though! Thank you again for all of your thorough and detailed comments. Glad you liked this episode better than last week's, and I hope you enjoy the last three. Have a great night! :)

I think you're probably rooting for Aras the most though, and maybe Mikey or Eliza... Well I wouldn't prefer all of them not on my list 100%, but there's something good from a win by each of them. You're right that I'm rooting for Aras the most, I often like the more villainous types of people, and even if he won he'd still probably take quite a beating from an angry jury of the six who controlled the merge. While I don't like Mary as much as a character I'm liking her more lately, and the shock value of seeing her win would be great, but I know she won't win. Mikey would make a decent winner, as would Eliza, but I know Eliza's not winning. Tracy while being a bit disappointing in it being obvious at least would deserve to win. If Brooke's story keeps up the way it has lately then she would be a surprising winner to me who would face a really bitter jury, but I don't see how she can get the right people on the jury without betraying them and still win. Interestingly, I didn't think of him as a full-blown negative like the 2 girls. I thought he was not quite as bad as them (ie. Mixed), and I gave him that TCQ specifically where he said he "watched them eat for a little bit," meaning only for a few minutes. Of course, this is the part that would be shown on TV, but I did try to soften him a little bit. He certainly wasn't as N as Alexis and Mary, but he was still going back to his old roots, just with bit more common sense. Also seeing someone making their predictions on the rest of the game has made me decide to try my hand at it to. F7: Mary (It was a real toss up between Eliza, Alexis, and Mary, I initially went with Eliza getting idoled or somehow ousted from a stupid move, but I couldn't get things to work at the F5 once Mary was gone. Basically despite some HII drama Mary ends up going up) F6: Eliza (Either through getting idoled, or through Mikey and Tracy making a move since they can't get Aras out, Eliza becomes the next victim) F5: Mikey (Brooke either feels blindsided from the last vote and gets Aras and Alexis on her side, or Brooke decides a Brooke/Tracy/Mikey F3 isn't a good one for her, so she decides to take out Mikey so she won't have to win immunity to get to the F2) F4: Alexis (Alliances from last round break up, Aras wins immunity again, Tracy and Brooke decide to convince Aras to dump Alexis for being more of a F3 IC threat, and Alexis not planning on taking Aras to the F2 anyway, Aras buys it and Alexis goes 3 to 1) F3: Aras (His immunity streak finally comes to an end, and the ladies vote Aras out) F2: Brooke, Tracy Brooke Votes (3): Eliza, Ian, Aras (Eliza and Ian were closer to Brooke, Aras knew Brooke better then Tracy and respected her more) Tracy Votes (5): Kathy, Sherea, Mary, Mikey, Alexis (Kathy knew Tracy better, Sherea and Mary hate Brooke more for betraying them, Mikey gives her a respect vote, Alexis votes for a fan she was closer to then Brooke)

But then again, she's kind of similar to S16 Parvati, in that the jury SEEMS very pissed at her, so maybe that's what GF is going for ...

Posts: 3592 (07/25/08 2:36 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Thanks for those thoughts and predictions, MasterDarkNinja! I won't respond to anything specific yet, but I enjoyed them. Very interesting! :) I was the one who called Brooke the F2 loser, GF. Or I said something similar. Okay. I think somebody else did too (possibly Apollo Italiano), but I'm not 100% sure. Whoever said it, it does seem to be possible based on what we've seen, so it's definitely a good theory. I'm starting to agree with you guys; she might lose to Tracy in the end. But then again, she's kind of similar to S16 Parvati, in that the jury SEEMS very pissed at her, so maybe that's what GF is going for ... I think my Final Twos (or possibly F3) tend to be somewhat of a surprise. I remember last season a lot of people picked Dave/Leslie or Dave/Frosti (I think), but only one or two people got Dave and Erik together. I used to be able to remember everything that everybody said, but now after seven season it's getting hard to keep track of it all, but I remember thinking that hardly anyone picked Dave/Erik.

I think most of your winners (and most real winners too for that matter) have a bigger episode (or two) by this point in the story. Anyway, I will try and read if I get the time. Sounds like the story is getting interesting.

There've been a few times where I thought she might get a 4 but it seems like there's always someone bigger than her in the episodes. I really don't have a good answer for why that happened at all; it's just as surprising to me... I hope you get a chance to read the story when you have some more time. I do hope it's getting interesting! :) Have a great weekend!

Posts: 300 (07/25/08 11:06 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	COMMENTS & QUESTIONS (A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Loved it! Not only because Sherea was gone, but because the first half was far more entertaining than usual. Liked the Tracy/Mikey scenes a lot, also liked the reward fraction between Mary/Eliza. The strategy scene was good too, I'd never have expected that the votes would split so bad at this point. Cool episode. Sidenote: Even though it was great Sherea was gone, I'm still a bit disappointed about her in the season overall. She was way underutilised, only got proper airtime in one episode and her story was practically over after that. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? Mikey and Tracy making a new pact at the beginning, and all the Tracy-confessionals at the top half. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 9,5 (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Good episode notes once again, they cleared all my questions. 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? Tracy (B) Who do you NOT want to be the Sole Survivor? Brooke or Mary 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 12? Mary (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 12? After major blindsides it's maybe a more obvious episode, unlike the others I think Aras might even lose immunity but the girls just get so pissed at Mary that they boot her. 3. POPULARITY POLL (A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likeability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show. Alexis - 7 Ami - 8 Aras - 10 Brooke - 1 Chet - 2 Dave - 8 Earl - 4 Eliza - 6 Erik - 5 Ian - 8 Jason - 6 Joel - 5 Kathy - 8 Mary - 5 Mikey - 7 Natalie - 4 Ruth Marie - 9 Sherea - 3 Terry - 1 Tracy - 10 4. EDGIC POLL * For readers familiar with the concept of Edgic. For more information Edgic, please visit this thread: EDGIC (A) Edgic for my fanfics has been very successful over the past few seasons, so I would love to get some reader involvement in determining Edgic ratings again. Please submit your own ratings in this thread. Ratings will be compiled and I'll post the final ratings in a chart before the next episode. Rating: INV, UTR, MOR, CP, OTT Tone: NN, N, Mixed (M) , Neutral (), P, PP Visibility: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Alexis - MORN3 ( Not as negative as Mary, but clear negative intent I'd say. ) Aras - MORM3 ( Could see CP, for he had lots of insights, but compared to the other CPs I'd say MOR was probably your intention for him. The tone again, I thought you were supposed to feel it for him at the beginning, but then the challenge and the slight association to the bad girls make him M. Might be N too, but M is definately more fitting compared to girls. ) Brooke - CP3 ( Could see M her too, but compared to previous episodes her comments were not that good/bad. ) Eliza - CP5 ( Hard tone here too. The reward scene alone really didn't earn her a tone, but then if you mix it to the pre-TC strategy you might think P or M. But maybe neutral is better. ) Mary - OTTN3 ( Clearly shown as the bitch this time. ) Mikey - MORP4 ( Another tough one. I ended up going MORP mainly because there were plenty of CP moments as well as some OTT moments. Your intention might have been CPP but there were two classic OTT confessionals and I just can't ignore them. I can see CPP, but MORP fits better IMO. ) Sherea - UTR2 Tracy - CP4 Current Chart * Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 11 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Tracy Got everything a winner needs right now. Her confessional that's also the epidose title screamed winner to me, and since she has no clear competition left I think she's the superior pick for winner at this point. 2. Aras I can't give him the cut just yet, but like MDN said, he's not becoming the fighting underdog but the villainish idiot once again. If he was to win, Mary and Alexis would have to be out soon and he should get more sympathic. It's possible, but rather unlikely at this point. 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" Brooke - Shown in too bad light to be a winner ( still hold to what I said last episode ) Eliza - Clear distraction Alexis - Way too ignored early on Mikey - Way too negative early on Mary - Ignored and INV I'm sorry my comments come kinda late, but I'll still be reading all the time :) It's just that I can only access internet at the weekends, and your episodes come out monday.

Your posts are always thoughtful, detailed, and very enjoyable to read. Thanks for being a loyal reader, and for taking the time to share your thoughts! Much appreciated! :) Loved it! Not only because Sherea was gone, but because the first half was far more entertaining than usual. Liked the Tracy/Mikey scenes a lot, also liked the reward fraction between Mary/Eliza. The strategy scene was good too, I'd never have expected that the votes would split so bad at this point. Cool episode. Sidenote: Even though it was great Sherea was gone, I'm still a bit disappointed about her in the season overall. She was way underutilised, only got proper airtime in one episode and her story was practically over after that. Thank you very much for these comments! Great to hear that you loved it, and I appreciate the comment about the first half being more entertaining than usual. I definitely agree with this - usually it doesn't get really good until after the Immunity Challenge, but I really liked pretty much every scene this week (especially the Tracy/Mikey one and the Reward). If Aras had voted for Eliza instead of Brooke, it would have been 4-3-1, which wouldn't have been quite as big of a split in the votes. I agree with you about Sherea's overall edit in this season being disappointing - it is for me too. I think it comes down to a combination of her being a returning player in a 20-person season, so she had two things working against her, and yes, after Dave was gone, it took away a lot of her purpose in the story, which was also unfortunate. Mikey and Tracy making a new pact at the beginning, and all the Tracy-confessionals at the top half. Thanks! Glad you liked this part, and thank you so much for the 9.5! :) Good episode notes once again, they cleared all my questions. :) Thanks a lot for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Nice to see those 8s, 9s, and 10s (especially for Aras, who is kindof low right now). Excellent job on those Edgic ratings. You continue to impress me, and as always, they're very close to what I was going for. Eliza - CP5 ( Hard tone here too. The reward scene alone really didn't earn her a tone, but then if you mix it to the pre-TC strategy you might think P or M. But maybe neutral is better. ) I guess I will have to go with CP for her since just about everyone rated her as that. I thought she might have been OTTM, but I guess it didn't come across that way. Mikey - MORP4 ( Another tough one. I ended up going MORP mainly because there were plenty of CP moments as well as some OTT moments. Your intention might have been CPP but there were two classic OTT confessionals and I just can't ignore them. I can see CPP, but MORP fits better IMO. ) Thanks for explaining this. This is definitely going to be the hardest one for me to decide on what the final rating should be. Your Contenders / Eliminated lists both look very good also! Pretty much everyone has universally eliminated Eliza, Alexis, and Mary now, so the four that still appear to be in contention in some way are Tracy, Aras, Mikey, and Brooke. I'm sorry my comments come kinda late, but I'll still be reading all the time :) It's just that I can only access internet at the weekends, and your episodes come out monday. No problem! Better later than never. I know that it somehow ended up with episodes going up on Mondays instead of Thursdays. I'm going to TRY to put the next one up on Sunday night again though, although I'm not sure if it will be possible this time... Thanks again for your comments. Hope you enjoy the last three episodes as much as this one, and have a great weekend! :)

Posts: 3596 (07/26/08 7:17 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hello ImANewUser. Thank you very much for commenting on the episode. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts after every episode! :) -->Loved the drama. I loved the Reward scenes & Mary acting like bubble gum, sticking to Aras most of the time. Sherea going was okay too, though I liked her in China. Thanks. I also feel that the episode had lots of drama and entertaining moments. I thought Sherea was great in China, but not so great here, so I was okay with her going at this point. I hated to have her go in China though. -->"Two votes Sherea, two votes Eliza, one vote Alexis, one vote Brooke...", "...and no vote for Mary." Too funny. Glad you liked this line! -->9/10 Thank you very much for the 9! I appreciate that! :) -->Not about this episode, how did the pre-jurors and jurors enjoy their time on sequester together? This is an interesting question: I think that the first five people in the pre-jury sequester would be really awkward together because Dave, Chet, Erik, Natalie, and Earl wouldn't really know each other or have a lot in common. Once Ami and Ruth Marie got in there, they would have probably hung out with Natalie (and probably Chet), and once Terry was there, Dave, Terry, and Earl would have probably been together a lot. I think Joel, Jason, and Erik would end up spending time together as well, but I'm sure that no one would have been overly bitter once the game was over. I could see Joel and Ami maybe not getting along, but again, when they're out of the game, I'm sure people tend to get over it and just enjoy their time together. As for the jury, there's only three members so far: I'm sure Ian and Kathy had fun together; Sherea would have been a little upset once she was first voted off, but after a few days, I'm sure she'll get over it. Both sequester groups do go away on trips and have day activities, etc. in addition to having all kinds of games, TV, DVDs, video games, tons of food, etc. so they are well taken care of and there's lots for them to do. The jury dynamic will change as more people get voted out though. Aras gains favor with the F4 pact (which I 75% correctly guessed) and is planned to get spared until the F5, but then is voted out Yes, good job on predicting a Final Four pact! Thank you very much for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll! Thanks again for your comments. I really enjoyed reading them. Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the season (it won't be too much longer), and have a great weekend! :)

Too funny. I actually hated this line. It was unnecessary, and made Eliza seem like a cocky bitch. OK, so you fooled Mary into using her idol when she didn't have to. Way to point out the obvious and rub it in her face. I actually don't fault Mary for using it. She's was a logical target in that TC...better safe than sorry. Let us not forget RL James(China), Ozzy(FVF) and Jason.

OK, so you fooled Mary into using her idol when she didn't have to. Way to point out the obvious and rub it in her face. Sorry that you didn't like the line, but you're exactly right that that's what it was supposed to make Eliza look like. Actually, all four of the young girls are pretty bitchy with each other (especially in Episode 12), which is part of the reason that I kept so many of them around this season because I figured they were the most likely to become catty and jealous with each other over things like food. I actually don't fault Mary for using it. She's was a logical target in that TC...better safe than sorry. Let us not forget RL James(China), Ozzy(FVF) and Jason. I agree. I don't think it was a bad thing for her to use it. She was a logical target, had the alliance not switched their votes to Sherea/Alexis. Glad you're still reading the story, TheVeryInsaneShark! Hope you have a great night, and thanks for posting! :)

Hello yautheman. I'm looking forward to the end of this season too, and definitely for the next fanfic as well. Unfortunately, you're going to have to wait until December for the next one to begin because I just don't have enough time to work on it and keep a reasonable schedule during school (although I'll still write as much as I can). I'm not sure if it will be Gabon or my made-up cast yet. I want to see the Gabon cast first to figure out what kinds of characters I'm working with. It might turn out there's some similar characters or I have a similar type of winner in mind, which might influence which season I go with. I'm also considering sticking with my Africa location (The Kalahari Desert) since that was originally what I envisioned the characters for, but I'm not sure about that either. I just need to get this season finished first before I can really focus in on the next one...

Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Good episode! You pretty much went back to Exile Island editing (i.e. showing one side as overly positive, another as overly negative). Which I didn't mind at all, I loved the Exile Island season. Plus I loved seeing Aras, Mary, and Alexis squirm, in addition to seeing Mary's annoying antics. I kind of predicted at the beginning that some sort of combination of people would turn on Sherea, but the way it went down was great. Brooke is definitely turning into real Guatemala's Stephenie or to an extene Belize Jamie. They're causing enemies when they didn't really need to. We'll see if that affects her game like the other two, as they both placed 2nd. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? Mikey and Tracy's deal. Nice to see such big enemies in the beginning of the game uniting under a common cause. Though I'm pretty sure one's going to turn on the other before the Final 2. Tribal Council was great, too. All the scrambling with the votes, ending 4-2-1-1 was great. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) I'd give it an 8.5. (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Mary: Why choose Aras? In the slim chance that it was another political challenge (which it was), she had think they'd be picked off. Plus the fact that if they split off and one of them won, they could try to talk to their partner about strategy. 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? Using my argument above, I'm going to have to change it from Brooke to Mikey. (B) Who do you NOT want to be the Sole Survivor? Alexis or Mary. Too ignored at the beginning, and even now they're kind of one-note. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 12? I'm going with everyone else's predictions and saying Aras. (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 12? Brooke wins Immunity. One of the girls wins Reward. 3. POPULARITY POLL (A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likeability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show. Alexis - 4 Ami - 6 Aras - 5 Brooke - 7 Chet - 2 Dave - 5 Earl - 4 Eliza - 8 Erik - 5 Ian - 4 Jason - 6 Joel - 6 Kathy - 7 Mary - 3 Mikey - 9 Natalie - 4 Ruth Marie - 5 Sherea - 6 Terry - 4 Tracy - 9
