Tribal Council - Vote Reveal

[clauderainsrm]

*waits until the last person sits back down*

I'll go tally the votes.


*contestants shift impatiently as producers meet behind the tribal council set for a half hour or so*

***

*walks back to the podium*

If anyone has a hidden immunity idol, and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.


"Gary?" *swirlsofpurple stands up* "This is only good for this tribal council, so I might as well use it."

*she hands the host the idol*





The rules of Survivor state that if a hidden immunity idol is played, that none of the votes cast against them will count. This IS a hidden immunity idol. None of the votes against swirlsofpurple will count.

I'll read the votes.

First vote 

*pulls it out and slowly turns it over*

Oh damn. First merged tribal and already an Idol!! Eeep!

[alycewilson]

This is so tense!

[bsgsix]

This is REALLY tense. I was supposed to go visit my parents (down the street) 30 minutes ago and I haven't even started to get ready yet, lol...

[flipflop_diva]

I wanted to fit in a short nap before we get my daughter from daycare (baby #2 is exhausting) but how can I nap in these type of conditions??

[bsgsix]

LOL, I KNOW. (And I'm sure you're exhausted. UGH do I recall that feeling!)

But it is hard to do anything while waiting on one final vote... :/

[flipflop_diva]

(Gary, is there a reason wolfden's votes look different than everyone else's?)

[alycewilson]

I'm guessing he has the graphic set up for a certain width, and the point size changes to fit. Wolfden has the fewest letters so is biggest.

Production Note

[clauderainsrm]

I wish. The truth is that I realized I lost her graphic and had to make a new one. (but I didn't have the old template anymore, so I winged it!)

Re: Production Note

[flipflop_diva]

Ooops. But thanks for explaining — I wasn't sure if we were supposed to be looking for hidden meanings in there! :)

[adoptedwriter]

Yikes! Now what? They do a write off if the last vote is neither WD or LC?

Production Note

[clauderainsrm]

Under Survivor rules, there is a revote where everyone must vote for one of those two. If it remains a tie, then they would be immune and everyone else (who is not immune) is subject to a rock draw for elimination.

[flipflop_diva]

If it was a tie, we would have had to revote, like we did in Luzon that time. Though I hope we never ever ever ever have to do that again!

[alycewilson]

Yes, that was hard.

[halfshellvenus]

Nervewracking! And thanks for putting the vote for me first. Was it because I was waiting so long to cast my own vote?

Meanwhile, I've been distracting myself by trying to Google my 88-year-old cousin, who sent me a Christmas card for the first time ever. His return-address sticker has his first name (same as his Dad), but then he signed it with the name he actually uses plus his new wife's name.

I don't know his new wife's name. So I'm trying to reverse-engineer it out of the handwriting for HIS name. Plus hoping Google will help me. \o?

[bsgsix]

Oh, Wolfden. I'm so sorry to see you go. You are a fantastic player, friend, and writer, and that makes me sad for you. *hugs*

Congrats to lawchicky - that was super close there!

[bsgsix]

Though, Wolfden - welcome to the Jury! You’ll definitely do a great job there, as much as we’ll miss you here. *hugs*

[flipflop_diva]

That was really tense. I'm sorry you have to go Wolfden (and I hope your mom is doing okay!).

Congrats to lawchicky for surviving that super close vote!

[bleodswean]

Sorry to see you shifting to the jury, Wolfden.

[adoptedwriter]

Awww...So sorry to see you go. Best to your mom. Hugs.

[alycewilson]

Wolfden, I hope your mom is doing better.

[murielle]

Oh no! I just got here and it's all over.

I'm so sorry Wolfden. *Hugs*

[wolfden]

Well OUCH!

Honestly, that hurts my feelings far more than it actually should.

[halfshellvenus]

I'm so sorry. *hugs*

I'm glad you got to play this season, though, and I know you'll be an asset to the jury.

I sure hope your Mom is getting better. Will you let us know, if you can, how things are going for you over these next few weeks?

[bsgsix]

I’m so sorry. I’m really sorry to see you go. :(

[murielle]

I was shocked, hon. Not what I expected at all. I wish it were not so.

*Hugs*

[gunwithoutmusic]

I'm so sorry. :( I haven't forgot you helping me out at the first Tribal Council; I really didn't want to see you go. You were my tribe mate!

I hope things get better with your mom; I know the last thing I heard was the doctors said she's doing okay, so I hope that holds.

[swirlsofpurple]

Sorry to see you go *Hugs*
