clauderainsrmWelcome back and have a seat.
I'll bring in the members of the Jury:
jenwithapen, bittyjane, megatronix, impoetry, n3m3sis43, minikin25, wolfden, lawchicky819, bsgsix, swirlsofpurple, eeyore_grrl, bleodswean, adoptedwriter and alycewilson, voted out in the last tribal council.
Our Final 4. 2 of you started out on Luzon. 2 of you started out on Asaga. (and 2 of you spent a short time together bonding on LaMina)
halfshellvenus - It's getting down to the wire. Last time you played a hidden immunity idol - alycewilson ended up having more votes than you, so you didn't end up needing it. But you also caught a couple votes. Sitting here without any safety, any concern that this time your number could be up?
flipflop_diva - You don't have that concern this time. Do you think that you needed this win to get through this round, or do you think you are well enough positioned to have gotten by without it? This is your second time wearing the immunity necklace... tying you with halfshellvenus and bgsix. How does that feel? How much are you thinking "who can I beat if I sit next to them at the finale" playing into your decision making right now?
murielle - Last time you said that these were "good people, with big kind hearts", there's a 1/3 chance that these good people with big kind hearts are about to send you to the Jury. Still feel that way, regardless of the outcome?
gunwithoutmusic - There are so many decisions that go into "who to go with to the end", but you're down to 4 now. How do you make the decision to end someone's game - knowing that the Jury is watching, and judging your moves?
This is for the 4 of you - In "real" Survivor, Need is something that often comes up as a factor in a Jury's decision. Who "needs" it more, who will do more good with the million dollars. We don't have those big of stakes. But there is a pretty big jump from a $10 Amazon gift card (4th) to a $50 one (1st). Does that at all weigh on your decision, or, is it "It's a game, and I want to win." and so anyone who MIGHT sway the jury to award them the top prize needs to go?
flipflop_diva - What was it that made you want to mix memories with meta? It's an interesting twist to a classic go-to in the competition. I'm just interested in your thought process in coming up with it. What was it about those specific memories do you think made them a good fit with the unfolding Survivor: LJ Idol fire-making drama?
gunwithoutmusic - I'm trying to remember the last time you've written about your childhood, and honestly, nothing is coming up at the moment. Knowing me, that means it was last week. :D Seriously though, I really liked the story choice and how you structured it. That last bit with your Father and the burned out house - and that line "Let’s not worry about that right now." That line was perfect. I always ask this when it comes to true stories, because it's something that I think other people can get something out of - what led you to want to tell this particular story, and how did you decide what to leave in/remove from the retelling to make it flow better?
halfshellvenus - As soon as I saw that the setting was Hell, I knew it was going to be funny. "She makes Hell funny" isn't the worst thing to be known for doing. :D I loved how Rorkanos I loved the flow of this, especially with the progression of jobs. You really seem to enjoy "regular life stories in a supernatural settings" Do you consider that to be a part of your love for re-imagining myths and fairy tales? Taking something expected and turning on it's head. How much of that has been a conscious "brand" and how much is that is just what ends up coming out when it's time to write?
murielle - *looks outside* It's dark now. Hi. At what point in writing this did you realize that the true treasures to be found in the piles of clutter left behind in that house were the characters and their relationships to each other? In reading this, I got the mental image of you looking opening that door for the first time, and the smell hitting you... and then going through bag after bag, and stack after stack, unearthing what you could find... and stumbling across people like Herb and his family in the process. What has the process of discovery been like for you over these past few months?
For all 4 of you - flipflop_diva and two other people are going to get to enjoy a Survivor breakfast, and their final sunsets on the beach... why should YOU be one of those people? What would it mean to you?

*camera follows them as they answer, before coming back to Gary*
flipflop_diva - You have immunity. Do you want to give it to someone else, or hold onto it?
*camera lingers over her dramatically*
"I'm most definitely not giving this away. I'll keep it"
OK then. It's time to vote.
You know how this works. One by one you will go to the confessional and write the name of the person you wish to eliminate and put it in the urn. Translated this means, you will send an email to me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com by tomorrow, March 15th at 6pm ET.
