I forgot to say:  Please submit your votes by 6:45 PM EST TOMORROW, they may be read a little late since I'm always busy on Thursdays though.

- Does the jury starting affect your strategy at all, knowing that whoever is voted out will have a say in who wins the game? No. My back is up against the wall, so I have no choice but to play the only way I know, and that's to fight every single day. There is no other way I can play now.

- Do you expect the game to get more cutthroat now that we're progressing through the post-merge stage of the gamer? It just depends on how things go from here on out. I'm sure that alliances will start to divide, but like I said it depends.

- Last tribal was a pretty decisive vote.  Will we be seeing more of the same tonight, or have plans changed since last tribal? I have no clue, unfortunately. I would hope that tonight's vote is divided between two or three people in particular. We will see.

Joey.  Need to bring me your torch.

Joey, the tribe has spoken

*snuffs torch*

Time for you to go.

Well, this game seems to have been flipped upside down.  And with 8 people left, it's only getting crazier from here.  Grab your torches, head back to camp, g'night.
