[Matty]

ok let me go cast my vote before i forget where im supposed to walk again...

[Lauren]

Lauren, how important is this vote?

I'd say very as it'll dictate the direction the rest of the game is going to move in. But then again it's the merge so every vote is pretty much going to do that.

[Jeff Probst]

Gillian, it's tribal council, 20 minutes left to vote or change your vote. Do you expect anyone to change their votes during this council and if so, what would you do to influence their vote?

[Gillian]

well this is stressful

[Danni Boatwright]

Michelle, have people been shifting their allegiances since merge, or does it seem that OG tribes and swaps have already made some clear divisions?

[Randy]

Randy have firm lines been drawn yet or is the game constantly shifting?

I don't think there will ever be firm lines. This game is like a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, everything is changing by the second and you hope the chaos happening all around you doesn't do you in.

[Jeff Probst]

Chris, are there people who are playing this game harder than the others?

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Aurora, do swapped tribe lines or original tribe lines matter more right now?

[Gillian]

Gillian, it's tribal council, 20 minutes left to vote or change your vote. Do you expect anyone to change their votes during this council and if so, what would you do to influence their vote?

i mean theres no chatting so im not sure i can convince anyone to change anything anyways!!! just hope im on the right side of this when its all said and done tonight

[Jeff Probst]

Charlie, is it too early to start looking at people as threats and other people as non-threats?

[Reem]

Reem, does Devens need to be concerned about playing his public idol tonight?

I mean the idol is definitely there as a safety net. It's always worth thinking of playing, but given the amount of insanity that occurred the last few hours there's honestly no telling. I think Ron said it best you just gotta hope to be on the right side of the numbers.

[Michelle]

I think people have definitely been shifting their allegiances, Danni. Like Matty said, there have been multiple plans in the last six hours alone, and you have to work across tribal lines in order to have majority.

[Jeff Probst]

Aurora, is the person going home tonight simply the worst player or just unlucky?

[Danni Boatwright]

Reem, does Devens need to be concerned about playing his public idol tonight?

I mean the idol is definitely there as a safety net. It's always worth thinking of playing, but given the amount of insanity that occurred the last few hours there's honestly no telling. I think Ron said it best you just gotta hope to be on the right side of the numbers.

What happened in the last few hours?

[Charlie]

Charlie, is it too early to start looking at people as threats and other people as non-threats?

I think that started a long time ago. The only thing changing is who falls into which column.

[Jeff Probst]

Lauren, the numbers are now 6 women to 7 men, is the "battle of the sexes" over or do original tribal lines still come into play?

[Aurora]

Aurora, do swapped tribe lines or original tribe lines matter more right now?

I don't think one is more important than the other. The merge has mixed everyone up. At some point, you have to go with your gut, and you'll live and die by it.

[Michelle]

Michelle, Is this a settled vote for you or are you still figuring out what to do?

I know where I'm going to vote, Gary.

[Chris]

Chris, are there people who are playing this game harder than the others?

After this evening, I don't think there's isn't a single person who isn't playing hard.

[Danni Boatwright]

Charlie, is it too early to start looking at people as threats and other people as non-threats?

I think that started a long time ago. The only thing changing is who falls into which column.

do you think it's possible for people to get the label of "non-threat" off of themselves? or do you think once you fall into that category you're screwed?
