therealljidol | Tribal Council

*cue Survivor tribal council ominous music*

Come on in folx and take a seat.

Now we'll bring in the members of our jury... *camera pans over them as they come in, and take a seat across from the jury* jenwithapen, bittyjane, megatronix, impoetry, n3m3sis43, minikin25, wolfden, lawchicky819. bsgsix, and swirlsofpurple, voted out last week.

*Gary takes out a sealed bottle and sets it on the podium* We will get to that in a minute.

flipflop_diva - You described winning immunity as "a Survivor dream come true" - what other "Survivor dreams" do you have? Do you think that openly being as big of a fan of the game is a benefit or does it make you more of a target? How does having that necklace around your neck change your attitude toward tribal council?

halfshellvenus - You are in the opposite position this week. Last time you were safe. This time, you are in as much danger as anyone else, other than flipflop_diva. Did you feel the pressure as soon as you didn't win?

adoptedwriter - If people are voting off the person with the lowest total, that means it's either you or gunwithoutmusic this week. Why should people keep you around - what are you bringing that makes you the better choice to keep?

gunwithoutmusic - Same question to you. Are you ready to get your torch snuffed and go hang out in Ponderosa? Or is there something more you want to do in this game that makes you worth keeping?

eeyore_grrl - You were the alternate target last week. Does dodging that bullet mean you feel like you are in with the numbers? Or does that just move you up on the list of people who are in line to go next? 2 people wanted you out. Do you expect to see your name written on parchment this tribal council?

murielle - You've talked quite a bit over the the course of the game about supporting your friends. At this point - is there anyone left who isn't your friend? Or is there a hierarchy? When you say "I didn't want this for you" as people leave - who DID you want it to happen to?

bleodswean - As the options for who to vote for get fewer, how do you decide on who to vote out? You've said you don't always understand other people's process in making the decisions. What is yours?

alycewilson - You had that coveted second immunity last time around. But this time you are vulnerable. Where are you when it comes to deciding who to eliminate? Are you part of a larger group or more of a free agent waiting for a pitch? Or are you the mastermind planning the next great blindside?

*camera follows conversations as people answer, before coming back to Gary*

Oh, almost forgot. This bottle. I told you that we would talk about it.
It's sitting here. If you want it, stand up in front of everyone and come get it. The first one who contacts me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com gets it.
It will remain sealed until it's time to vote.

*a few minutes into the questions,

murielle stands up, walks over to the podium, takes the bottle, and returns to her seat*

***

Murielle selected the bottle, which ends the questions period for Tribal Council.

Murielle - please open the bottle. There are two notes in there. Please pass the one marked #2 to someone else.
Please let me know who you are giving it to.

***
*murielle looks over both notes for awhile as the tense tribal theme music plays for the home audience in the background*
Finally she stands up and hands the note marked #2 to

adoptedwriter

"Adoptedwriter - hold onto that until after the votes are read"

"Murielle, you can now open your note and read it to the group"

"SAFETY WITHOUT POWER. You must leave tribal council immediately and return to camp"

Congratulations murielle, you have survived until next week, and don't have to cast a vote. Head on back to camp. Good night.

As for the rest of you - the bottle has been open and the talking is over. It's time to vote.

Head on up to the urn and cast a vote for who you want to eliminate this week. (Send the vote to me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com by tomorrow, Feb 4th at 9pm ET)
