Everyone ready?

I just looked at the permutations based on what Carl posted and holy shit what a glorious clusterfuck of a disaster one of those tribes is going to be.

I believe we're going on Brenda's original list (based on which surveys were picked first) after talking with Jeff on AIM last night. So those would be the confessionals to prep.

In that case, and if we keep the first pair of Ted & Jill to stay on heir own tribes, that gives us;

NuPalena;
Chase, Erica, Jolanda, Russell, Ted / Dan, JimmyT, Marty, Tyrone, WendyJo

And NuAtacama;
Brook, Fabio, Jake, John, Ken / Holly, Jane, Jill, JimmyJ, Yve

Jimmy T on NuPalena, not JimmyJ.

Did all the black avatars really end up on one tribe?

So Chase & Fabio get split up. Yve & WendyJo get split up. I wonder if they'll stay close later? I expect all four to make merge.

But all three Holly/Jill/Yve all manage to stay together. As do Ken & Jake. And Tyrone & Dan, & Russell/Erica. I guess they're gonna be the cores that form whatever happens.

Oh I did it the first way Carl posted and had Chase/Fabio/Ted/Russell together and was like.... yea... they're going to dominate there especially with the likes of Tyrone, Jimmy J, Marty... etc.

Fabio being on the other tribe makes it a bit more interesting.

Jeffrey!

I know screenshots aren't allowed.... forwarding messages? Posting quotes from secret groups?? I need to know!

I guess they're ok right? Didn't want to say as much if they weren't though.

Also, since it not having a clear ruling caused some grief last time round, can you tell us in advance - is it allowed to help your secret partner mid-challenge via the forum?

I think in the past we have allowed it for dramatic purposes.

In terms of quoting, i dont have a problem with that.

It's completely allowed due to the drama it creates. :)

Shit. Quoting PMs was my main strategy to turn people on each other in Costa Rica.

Well when you quote it's easy to get the lines mixed and edit things out/in etc... so that's more fun, almost like when someone repeats something said to someone else... Screenshotting's just hard to translate into anything, its not as fun, harder to edit....

Mia. We're going to have to set up the Episode 2 threads during the challenge tonight. Will you be here or do you want me to do Palena too?

I'll be here. Any specific questions you're planning on asking? I don't have a lot because the Jimmy T boot won't be too groundbreaking, but I also don't want to post a "Hey so you survived. Tell me about stuff!" confessional.

And what exact time are you planning on posting yours? I'm doing mine right after tribal is done.

Honestly I was going to wait until the challenge was over for Atacama because seeing who wins would determine the questions.

If they lose I will ask about losing, who they want to target, group dynamics, alliances etc. If they win I'll make up some uninteresting BS on the fly I guess. Maybe dig deeper into their allegiances. Ask them to rank everyone on the tribe from favorite to least favorite?
