Episode 08

Welcome to the merger!

You made it!

Tell me how you're feeling, nervous? excited? a bit of both?

Also, now that the game is shifting from tribes to individual, are you focusing now more than ever on how to win the game, or is it merely how to advance as far as you can?

How do you plan on making an impressive enough showing in the merge to warrant a vote from the potential jurors that you are playing with now?

Where do your loyalties lie? With the original tribe? Your newly swapped tribe? or your original fans/favorites split? Who do you trust the most/least going into the merge?

My name is Yve, and I am Yvel.

My name is Yve, and I am Yvel.

So for someone who's missed pretty much everything since the night Jimmy & Erica left, give me a brief recap of what's happened in your game since. Where do your loyalties currently lie?

To the casual observer (which I've pretty much been), it seems like you are down 4 to 8 and need to come up with something stat. So what's the plan ma'am? How are you finding reconnecting with the other original Atacamans?

Also, what does Jane's boot mean for you and your gameplan?

You should know Chaddie didn't abandon you, he's just up to his tits in wedding stuffs. So anyways, deets gurl deets. Now you know the three immune, whats the preferable outcome of TC? What is the likeliest outcome?

Fill me in on what you're up to lately and what exactly makes you Yvel..

I've been completely inactive this round. Wouldn't be surprised if I was the target.

Going to see who the immune people are.

GJ!

Thank you. I could have owned this challenge if I needed to win it. Especially seeing the top scores.

But I've got to be the *weakest* Atacama, physically.

I just ran home from work.

I have no idea who to vote for.

Holly said Chase.

Jill said Tyrone.

Wendy Jo said Ted.

I think I'll have to go with Chase? Holly, at the last moment, said that they were switching their votes to Chase at the last minute because Wendy Jo was freaking out.

I already have an idol, I don't need a last-partner idol, or the stigma that comes with it. Chase going, and being the only one who knows about my idol, would be fantastic.

Am I allowed to play the idol on chase?

Well, never mind I guess.

Oh shit.

I think it's me.

AND I have an idol. Oh god, I hope it's me. I hope I get blindsided.

Okay, can I use my idol this time too?

No. Idols have to be played in the first vote period.

Ugh. Boring.

I want to save Chase.

I think I'll play the rest of this game like I think a middle-aged housewife would do it. I've been heading in that direction for rounds now, anyway.

OH MY GOD LET ME USE THE IDOL

IT WILL BRING SO MUCH DRAMA YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Okay, and now I'm vulnerable.

Fudge. Can...I...use it now? Is this annoying? I want to use it now...
