MERGE TIME



So far you've outlasted 8 castaways and survived the tribal portion of the game. Now you start the real challenge of navigating your way to the end against 12 competitors, all looking to be the winner of Stranded in Morocco.

1-How is your game plan going to change now that we're merged? Are you gonna stick tight to your alliance? or do you want to prove to Dan Foley that flippers can win the game?
2-What pre-existing relationships did you have with the other tribe? How do you plan on managing these relationships along with the members of your previous tribe?
3-Would you consider yourself a big target coming into the merge? why or why not?
4-We have 10 more votes before final tribal. Do you think that's enough time for you to prove that you deserve the crown?
5-Who are the perceived power players in this tribe? Who are the perceived followers? Where would you rank yourself?

Good luck! We're rooting for you!

Damn, 8 castaways! I'm so glad I outlasted Shii Ann, Angelina, Tanya, and Brendan, that was so stressful!

1. I am going to be a flipper, the question is when. For this moment, I need to keep on good terms with Chelsea/Angela/Pat and Mike/Clay/Seb. Well, I need to keep on good terms with everybody, actually, but it would be cool to vote a couple people out with them before doing anything big. Chelsea is playing too hard, and she'll be a target very soon. Mike is very intimidating and I'm not getting great vibes, I cannot trust him long-term. The rest of those guys, I'd gladly work with for a long time, but I think I could later pull off some moves with Gabby/Alec/Kellyn and maybe Don? I gotta get rid of Davie to have Pat by my side and I gotta make sure Angela prefers me over Chelsea.
Generally, I'll play behind the scenes for about 2 votes, assuming everything goes according to the plan I know, because some people are way too eager and will make targets out of themselves without me doing much.

2. I mean, the only person I didn't have any kind of relationship with was Don. I had a connection to Mike and Seb through Clay, so I need to just bond with them more and reassure them that what Clay and I talked about is real. Gabby and I have that Tuareg bond, and I hope we can work together at some point. Alec and I like each other and I'm sure he'd be down to make some moves.
I truly have a lot of decent connections, it's just a matter of not turning them away. If I can make it through a couple votes without pissing somebody off, I can later take some of the underdogs and start taking out the big guys. Pat & Angela can't leave anytime soon, and I'd prefer Kellyn/Gabby/Alec stayed for a bit, too.

3. Honestly, I don't know. I feel someone like Mike could already be seeing me as a threat, and I see him as one too, so he needs to go soon. But I don't think the consensus would be that I'm a big target. People should see that I am very approachable and getting rid of me would mean getting rid of a potential number for when you wanna make a move. Right now though, Stephanie, Chelsea, Mike and Kellyn are gonna be the biggest targets for everyone. Maybe Seb too, because of the idol.

4. You can be seen as a non-entity until F7, make a move, and suddenly become the biggest threat to win if you manage to articulate your gameplay at FTC. I think I can do that. I need to just make my way to FTC while taking out some threats.

5. Mike and Chelsea are the power players. Well, Steph too, but a hugely failed one. Pat/Angela/Gabby are def some of the biggest followers, probably Davie/Don too. But I guess I'm sort of in the middle right now, I'm not a power player because there's not much to play with at this first merge vote, and yet I'm not exactly a follower who doesn't mind what happens.
