One down, many more to go! Congrats on surviving your first weekend in the Kuril islands. It looks like the game is ramping up, and we have a couple questions for you about tonight's events.

1-Walk us through the immunity challenge. What was your team's approach, and do you think you worked well together?
2-The tribe rankings afforded the lowest ranking tribe member the opportunity to jump ship and neither person took the offer. do you think this was the right choice?
3-Any fun drama related to the tribe rankings? Spill for us. We're thirsty for some drama.
4-With Victoria gone, it appears we have 19 active players in this game. how does this effect your strategy moving forward?
5-If you could vote one person out right now for an extremely petty reason, who would it be and why?

It's hard to say how well it went. I think no one wanted to step up and organize anything and my inner leader busted out instead. Just even asking questions in the forum as to how exactly we pick and what exact roles that would entail were asked in group chat, but few bothered to ask in the forum so I did that instead. Also the same can be said with volunteering 4 people to get the pieces and repost them. I'm not exactly frustrated with the way the team acted, but I am a bit surprised as to how passive people were. I hope I didn't make a mistake coming out as the tribe leader during that challenge. I am going to play a more supportive role in this next challenge if my inner self doesn't freak out at the lack of engagement and leadership that could happen again.

As for approach, i don't think we had a cohesive approach. I had a piece of notebook paper where i ranked the images and then separated them into like colors, and told them about 5 min into the challenge I was doing that and everyone fuckin erupted like I was fucking albert einstein. A little surprising, because I had (and still have) no idea what the hell I'm doing. Lucky for us, Devens really knocked that challenge out of the park. So, in short, no. I don't think we worked well together. That doesn't mean we're incapable, just that we didn't click smoothly on the first challenge and instead got carried by Devens insane puzzling skills.

2-The tribe rankings afforded the lowest ranking tribe member the opportunity to jump ship and neither person took the offer. do you think this was the right choice?

Ya i mean I wouldn't have either. I'm surprised Devens was last though. I talked with him a bit and he seemed cool. I think it's just because he showed up much later than most the rest of us did and I assume he didn't initiate many convos. If devens had jumped ship, he would be in a worse position because he's had no time to build ANY relationships with the girls so it would probably have been a matter of getting past his token immunity challenge and then he's the easy axe.

3-Any fun drama related to the tribe rankings? Spill for us. We're thirsty for some drama.

Not really because no one said anything about how they ranked each other. At least not to me. I didn't tell anyone mine either just because it's kind of awkward to be like "YO CHARLIE I RANKED YOU 1 BRO!" and he could be like "Oh. Cool." The best i can do for you in drama (which isn't much sorry) is that I debated on whether to throw a lifevest to matty who i thought was in danger of drowning early. He IM'd me personally and said we should talk about who to vote out (this was pre-tribal) in case we lose, and I said sure. Then there was a pause. (maybe he was hoping I would do it? Hell no). Finally in group chat, he poses the question and there is DEAD SILENCE for like 10 min. Finally, I decide to help him out a bit and agreed, but suggested we wait until everyone was online to discuss. We didn't lose so it never came up. But I'm sure people noticed that, so maybe I can use it against Matty later "YA'LL SEE? HE WAS LOOKING TO GUN FOR YOU GUYS BEFORE THE FIRST CHALLENGE!" I don't know. It's weak at this point but maybe one of these guys will mess up big soon

4-With Victoria gone, it appears we have 19 active players in this game. how does this effect your strategy moving forward?

Not at all right now, only because I obviously didn't know her and have no idea of their tribe dynamics. I would be interested to see where she fell on the first tribal ranking though. Maybe at the merge I can find out.

5-If you could vote one person out right now for an extremely petty reason, who would it be and why?

Wardog because I didn't like his character in real life for targeting Wentworth.

Hello Marcus!

Lurker here and I would like to congratulate you for being the tenth annual Nate winner pick of the season (TM) and here's the lowdown on the high ground that you need to succeed after you've already earned the most honourable honour:

1. Nate winner picks need to be able to CUT IT UP and BRING THE HEAT - what do you think differentiates you from the pack of indiscriminate avatars this season? In twenty-seven words or less - What do you think is your DIFFERENTIATING FEATURE that will give you this W?

2. Nate winner picks, like a good college essay or a bad job interview, all bring their own UNIQUE PERSONALITY and OFF-THE WALL charisma, but are still quite easy to simplify their essence into a single sentence. They call it a catchphrase because people get CATCHED by your PHRASE. How would you describe your gameplay in a single catchphrase?

3. Nate winner picks, much like Academy Award winning film "Citizen Kane" have a BITCHIN' SOUNDTRACK. For example, the songs "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit" by the Wu-Tang Clan and the opera "Der Ring Des Nibelungen" by WAGNER were inspired by my winner picks of the past. If you had a single song that would play as you win the final immunity challenge cementing yourself as the winner of the season, what would that song be?

Thank You and You Better Not Fuck It Up for All My Winner Picks of Seasons Past!

Hi Nate,

Thank you for this distinct, and high honor. I won't let you down.

1. Nate winner picks need to be able to CUT IT UP and BRING THE HEAT - what do you think differentiates you from the pack of indiscriminate avatars this season? In twenty-seven words or less - What do you think is your DIFFERENTIATING FEATURE that will give you this W?

I'm not afraid to cut and run, and that includes alliances and past promises. I won't go down on a sinking ship. Scramble and survive.

Do no harm, take no shit.
