Host's Thoughts

[DoctorThrills]

Here are people that are sticking out to me off the bat:

Veronica - a.k.a KorbenDallas from Survivor Elimination Game. I think that Korben will do very well in this game. At this point, he already has Dragon on his side and overall just seems like he will be a very active player in the game.

Tina/Dragonomine - It will be interesting to see how she does here being a former winner from Yucatan. It might paint a target on her back, but I think she is a player who is social enough to keep the target off her self for some time.

Yang & Goltemis - Both will be interesting to watch them. Hopefully one doesn't go out too early, it looks like they are each others inspiration for confessional writing.

Tribe Strength

1. Agadir (3 active strong members, they shouldn't go to TC for awhile)
2. Marrakech (Same reasonings, all 3 seem to be active and dedicated)
3. Tangier (They won the first challenge, that should say something)
4. Kenitra (Not sure what to expect out of Brennus/Mitch as of right now performance wise. I don't see this tribe holding up for very long)
5. Rabat (BioDork and Cyber are both good in challenges, but I think Norman will really handicap them. He has yet to show up)
6. Casablanca (None of the 3 Casablancians seem too active in my books as of yet. We'll see though, it is still very early)

The "Odd-Men" out:

1. Norman
2. Strawberry
3. Lilytiger
4. (not sure on Casablanca, any of them could go first TC)
5. Jigsaw
6. Yang or Mitch

I would say I am 99% sure one of those 9 will go this first TC.

Couldn't be more glad that Norman got voted off at the first TC. He did not deserve to stay at all.

I randomly assigned the compass on each tribe, but it looks to me like the vulnerable player on each tribe ended up with it minus Veronica.. I'm probably gonna get some shit for this!! lol (it appears that the abundant item is the easiest to find)

Well it appears that a lot of tribes are screwing up. 3 of the 5 have sent in, and 2 of them forgot to put their unique item and those same 2 also got one answer incorrect - the two tribes being Agadir and Tangier. Tangier sent in first though, which means they will be getting immunity this time around. Marrakech sent in second but their answers are 100% correct so they will be getting immunity and an additional tribemate. So that brings it down to Casablanca and Kenitra. I think Casablanca has this. They might forget their unique item, but other than that I don't see much of a problem. Kenitra is WAY behind. Yang started way ahead of his tribemates, and found out what his item was pretty close to off the bat. He has done nothing to help out his tribe so at this point I'm assuming he's throwing it.. pretty interesting turn of events if that is the case. If his tribe loses, he suddenly has all the power and will hold Brennus and Mitch's life in his hands.. I would assume he would take out Brennus, meaning that Brennus will have to bust his ass tonight/tomorrow if he wants to remain in the game.

VULNERABLE
1. Goltemis (Lily has immunity if they lose)
2. Brennus (Yang has immunity and will cast the sole vote if Kenitra loses)

Casablanca just sent in and has 100%, which means either Agadir or Kenitra will for sure be going to TC and Lily or Yang will be the sole person to cast a vote.

Yang threw the challenge and took out Brennus. Yang def has a whole new life now in the game - it was clear to me that Mitch/Brennus would have teamed up to vote him out had the challenge not involved individual immunity. Guess that's how the card fall sometimes.

[DoctorThrills]

So this round was a fun one. The strongest tribe in my opinion (Marrakech) lost the challenge.. it was a close one between them and Tangier, BioDork barely slipped through the cracks this round.. I think he would have been gone had they lost. Anyways, Yang was the "odd-man out" on the tribe, but managed to work his way in. Veronica and Dragon obviously like him and decided to keep him over Strawberry. Can't say I'm shocked Strawberry left, I don't think she made enough effort to stay. In a tribe of three, you need to be extremely active and prove you are helpful.. no slackin off. Three tribes left, and this next challenge should be interesting.

[DoctorThrills]

OK, I have been neglecting this thread a little.

Tangier lost the IC.. total wipe out by Casablanca and Agadir. My first prediction was that BioDork was gone, but the whole tribe ended up turning on Brighton when he was called out for making deals with virtually the whole tribe. So now there are two tribes left.. Casablanca and Agadir. Agadir has six people and is definitely at the disadvantage right now. Here are my current top four likely-to-go-out-soon people:

1. Goltemis (on a smaller tribe, not pulling his weight, many enemies)
2. ZhanHuPwns (just got to Casablanca and looks to me like the odd man out as of now)
3. Jigsaw (Once Goltemis is gone, Jigsaw won't have very many friends to turn to on Agadir)
4. Niki/California/Will (this is a really hard call so I just put all 3 of them. They aren't giving much effort right now into keeping their original tribe safe, or at least from what I've seen. I could see some people teaming up over on Casablanca to take out some of the original members)

These predictions are counting out all twists I have planned, assuming that these tribes will remain the same for a while. There is a good shake up coming up for the players after this next TC.

[DoctorThrills]

Goltemis was voted out 5-1, and the five of them were absorbed into Casablanca. This should be REALLY interesting, not sure what will happen with thirteen people. I can say that it will be a crazy first TC! I could definitely see an original Casablanca going at this first TC, probably California or Niki.

[DoctorThrills]

First post-merge vote. Biodork has an idol. Yang is pushing hard for BioDork. This should be VERY interesting, I really hope BioDork recognizes he's in trouble and uses his idol or the target goes off of him. Damn Yang is trying to crush the twist I just threw out on the table!!

Thing is Yang has immunity.. if Bio DID use his idol, I wonder who he would get rid of. Veronica/Korben is a smooth talker and should be able to convince Bio that she is going to help him out on this vote even if he really is planning to vote his ass out. California has had problems with BioDork, but is useless and inactive now, so Bio might want to take a different route and make better use out of his idol. We'll see what happens.

[DoctorThrills]

So Biodork uses his idol and gets rid of Jigsaw.. dumb move. Jigsaw wasn't much of a threat to anyone, total waste of the power. If I was Biodork, I would have probably used it on Dr. Will. If Bio actually thinks Will isn't out to get him, he is probably going to have another thing coming. So after the second reward, the remaining eleven were split into two groups of five:

Jason, Lilytiger, Dragonomine, ZhanHuPwns, Niki Sanders

Yang, Veronica, Dr. Will, Mitch, Cybergrl

Biodork gets no group and is safe, but does have some power in the challenge. He gives his point to group 1. Honestly, stupid idea. Who is he trying to protect? Cybergrl has his back big time, and does he actually think theres a shot in hell Yang is going this round? OK, it could happen, but more than likely.. it won't. Veronica/Dr. Will both like Yang, but this could be a 3-2 vote if Mitch feels resentment back from TC2 against Yang. I know Cyber hates the guy.

It sucks big time, I was hoping for Niki to go as she is pretty much just a dud in the game.. why the hell would you sign up if you plan to never show up or do crap? She got to the jury through the work of others and an irregular amount of luck.

Oh well. Until next time.

[DoctorThrills]

So group 2 loses and Mitch is cut 6-0. Guess he just didn't give much effort into keeping himself safe. F10, Dragonomine wins immunity and sends Jason to exile keeping him safe at the vote. Jason now has the important choice of whether or not he wants to do some lying for an idol. Should be interesting. As for TC, it is looking to be between BioDork and Niki S. Cyber and Veronica seem to want Niki, but Yang, who seems to be in control right now, is going to be pushing hard for Bio. Should be an interesting round.

[DoctorThrills]

Niki gone. Beh. Who cares.

So that had to be the best round a host could ask for. The original target going into the challenge was Biodork, and I was assuming it would end up being unanimous. Jason somehow made a mistake during the challenge and it appeared as if he sabotaged Dragonomine, losing the trust of her & Veronica completely. Dragon became suspicious that Jason may have picked up an idol at exile and in hopes of bringing it out into play, her group for this round (mainly Biodork, Cybergrl, Dragon, Veronica) decided to throw their votes on Dr. Will but get a rumor out that the target was actually Jason. Jason found out about this (through Eric I believe) and kept his idol, and Will was voted out with seven votes. Kind of sad since Will actually did vote out Yang but no one believed him until it was too late. Eric is now in perhaps one of the most powerful positions in the game. I see two apparent sides molding out:

Dragonomine, Veronica, Cybergrl, Biodork, ZhanHuPwns

Jason, Lilytiger, Yang

I don't think these groups are very tight, but they could very well stick together. I think this round will mostly come down to the idol - some people are going to probably do whatever it takes to get it exposed. But how ironic, Casablanca = first tribe extinct. Gotta love it. ;D

[DoctorThrills]

Wow, so I have a lot of catching up to do now!

The last two tribal's have definitely spiced things up.. the group was bound to split eventually and I am actually surprised it took til F8 to see two real clear sides splitting.

So, Veronica left first at F8. Extremely close vote.. 3-3-2. 3 Votes for BioDork, 2 for ZhanHuPwns. Veronica unfortunately had the most past votes and was eliminated because of it.

I was actually pretty surprised that Dragon, Zhan, Cyber and Bio sticked together at the next vote. It was the best strategic decision yes, but they definitely weren't all close knit with one another - it appeared to be more of a move just to split up the Yang/Jason/Lily alliance. Jason decided to play his idol on Lily though and BioDork's game finally came to an end.

So now it's F6. Jason, Lily and Yang's best move would be to vote out ZhanHuPwns.. but, Dragonomine has come up with a plan that appears to be working perfectly. She is trying to get them to vote for her instead of ZhanHuPwns. She has the least previous votes and if they do go with that, it will be Yang or Lily going in a 3-3 vote.

Very excited to see what the turn out ends up being.
