I respect you all hugely for what you do, even Caryn. This takes a lot of work and we've all been having a fantastic time. I'm sorry that you aren't enjoying it like we are, but I don't know what else I can say other than nobody is intentionally being boring and I've done all I can to give you a good game. I'm not gonna play my idol when I'm safe just to spice things up and beyond that not sure what else I can do that I haven't.

Don't take it personally, we're literally just throwing everything at you guys to try and make for a competitive season. This is our last resort.

Alright man. Just feeling like I've been spending a lot of time trying to spice things up for y'all so tonight was pretty out of left field for me. I honestly have no idea how Chelsea and Don found out about Angela like I wanted that to tie just for the tea

Just hope that whole "boring" thing didn't kill anyone's motivation, to give a lot of your time to this and just be called boring when you're giving it a good effort is sorta shitty to hear. I guess it was supposed to be motivating but I don't think anyone is gonna be going any harder after those remarks, all things considered.

Imagine devoting months of hosting and planning only to have people not play.

I understand your frustration. Do you understand mine, though?

I did literally everything I could to make that non-unanimous, diverting everyone except four, enough to TIE. Imagine trying the whole weekend to give y'all something interesting and being accused of not playing?

No worries though I'll just pop on for IC and TC if that's how you want to pretend I'm being already, like I don't know what more you want from me here, half of us are on here for like half the day IM'ing and you called me boring halfway through writing a long reply, so I deleted it. Like man, sorry you feel like you did a lot of work for nothing but we're all enjoying playing - save for the part where we get roasted by people who couldn't crack the top ten in three seasons (and idek how she did in season 32 so Caryn, props if you actually made it far in your fourth).

If you want to chalk this season up to boring with seven left(I mean, you seemed to have done it earlier) then fine, but what went down in TC most certainly didn't help anyone's motivation to log in , be more active, pull big moves, etc. But to say I'm not playing and expect me to keep putting hours of my day into this is just not happening, I'll do what's required of me.

comments directed at an entire cast are not necessarily directed at every individual. If that makes sense. Tribal council is our chance to talk about the game as a whole and each of you is a player in it.

Do you think someone has Chelsea and Don in their pocket?

Smooth segue into a game-question, Jeff I mean damn, Chelsea just said that Robb told her it was her or Angela tonight. How would Robb know anything about Angela? Was he bluffing or did someone snitch? This tribal, no matter how unanimous, brings up more questions than I first even thought about haha
