Tashi - I'll state the obvious: You're the lone Satsuma in between 3 original Tokugawas and 3 original Choshus. Do you feel like you're in a swing vote position tonight?

Ryan — How likely is it that this vote falls along old tribal lines?

Josh — Do you feel more or less vulnerable on this new tribe compared to old Choshu?

Omen — Tokugawa never went to tribal before the swap, so any bonds you may have built there remain untested. Does that make you nervous for tonight, or are you confident that you’ve been able to have enough conversations with people to survive this vote?

Bob — You were definitely hoping there would be some sort of a swap or a merge today. How do you think the twist in the game, however foreseeable, will affect how things play out for you?

Josh — Do you feel more or less vulnerable on this new tribe compared to old Choshu?

Very vulnerable

well this swap will definitely change the game. Now all these people from the original tribes are on tribes with other people and we will have to see if people stay loyal to their original tribe or if they try to find alliances outside of that based on how they felt on their original tribe

Chili - Is there ambiguity as to who's aligned with who after the swap or do you think the divisions on the tribe are clear for this vote?

Omen — Tokugawa never went to tribal before the swap, so any bonds you may have built there remain untested. Does that make you nervous for tonight, or are you confident that you’ve been able to have enough conversations with people to survive this vote?

I think this vote will be the first real test of the Toku group here. We haven’t addressed anything in a setting like tribal council yet so it remains to be seen what will happen. I think it’s clear though that this vote will truly be a test of trust for both sides.

Budd - Is this vote pivotal to determining how the rest of the game plays out, or is it not going to have much of a lasting impact once the merge hits?
