-What do you think led the shift from a very split vote to a completely unanimous vote?
I do have an idea, and that it just so happened that both of the sides that were split up during the first merge vote found a common target.
-Before the votes were read last tribal, multiple people were public about expecting to receive some votes. What do you think is contributing to the heightened (and seemingly misplaced) sense of paranoia as of late?
I personally think they were just joking, I don't think we should read too much into it.
-We are down to the final eight and yet no one has successfully played an amulet. Why do you think it has been so difficult to effectively use amulets?
Amulets are less powerful than idols because there are more of them, but they count for less. So, people are more willing to play their amulets because they have more to spare. People aren't necessarily concerned with playing them correctly as they are with playing them defensively.
-Why was Kevin such a straightforward target last tribal? What does the two-tribal trend of voting out members of Ringwood mean for the prevalence of tribal divisions?
I think, two tribals in, tribal divisions are pretty much non-existent. It was maybe a factor for the merge vote but that's pretty much it. At this point, people will start thinking for themselves.
