Pachacuti! Welcome to your first official Tribal Council as a merged tribe. It seems that we are in for quite an evening!
Let us first see the answers you all gave during this Tribal.
CHRIS, many people would say that making Merge is a big accomplishment on it’s own. Now that you have made it here, how happy are you with the game you’ve played so far?
" Making merge is definitely an accomplishment. There is a part of me that’s happy with how I’ve played because whatever I’m doing, it’s gotten me this far."
FOXX, you were the one who came up with the tribe name. When it comes to the tribe itself, what is your status in this tribe? Does it need to be improved?
" I've been slammed with rok so right now I think I'm kinda just a support character right now, which I don't think is necessarily a negative factor since we all have good periods and bad periods and we all have real life obligations that may result in periods of relative quiet. As long as I can not be stuck in a position where things are happening to me rather than making things happens I'm solid."
JOSH, you didn’t even try in this challenge. Is it correct to say that you feel entirely safe - or did you just not have the time for it?
" It's more so both I was working at the time the challenge was announced and then by the time I did it
Leewas miles ahead so I was like it wasn't worth it"
JULES, you used your idol on Chris, who only ended up getting one vote. Do you think using your idol when it wasn’t really needed can work against you now - or not?
" If anything, it just showed that I apparently don't know how to play an idol properly, so oops. I don't have a great answer for this so I'm going to pivot to a different question.
I think one good thing about all of the idols being played in quick succession is that it's sort of wiped the slate clean. I know people were getting really idol-paranoid and now if someone has found another idol, they must've done it really fast. We haven't seen anyone go search the summit yet, so that's not a factor. Now we're all sort of on the same page watching out for a merge idol, but we don't need to worry so much about the tribal ones anymore."

KY, there were two clear sides in the joint Tribal Council. Do you think this will again be the case at this Tribal - or could things be switched up?
" I think last round was last round. Things tend to move quickly in survivor and now it’s merge so who knows what will happen"
LEE, you really killed it in this challenge! In fact, you catched so many blowfishes I for one lost count! Do you feel you needed immunity tonight - or did you just want to win?
" I actually surprised myself in this challenge! I did not expect to do so well. Early on in the comp I did not see myself winning this.. however, I like competition and I challenged myself to try and win the competition.. and I did.
I definitely felt like I needed immunity. Immunity is something you always should want to have. It provides you safety no matter what.
Also this is the first merge tribal council. Usually the scrambling is always intense!
So having the immunity necklace calms me down just a tad bit more.
People say the game resets at merge, so that could mean a lot of things target wise.. I just know having this necklace I’m at least safe for this round."
LOGAN, you saved yourself from danger with an idol last round. Do you think it could be you again under fire tonight - or is it someone else’s turn to feel the heat?
" I do think that it's someone else's turn to be the target. I'm clearly not playing that great of a game if I had to use an idol to save myself. I might still be in trouble, though. There seems to be this idea going around that there's two distinct sides forming, which I'm not a fan of because I think the whole sides thing is boring. I'd prefer a more fluid game because that makes things more exciting. For this vote, I hope people keep the fun players around to make it a fun merge."
NIKKI, nine people have already sadly left us, whilst eleven still remain. Did you expect the people who are with you now to make it this far - or not?
" I expected Corey to also be here which is sad. I expected people to be here, but the act of getting here different."
MICHELLE, as we all know the Summit battles are no more. As there is no longer a way to get back once voted out, does it make you feel worse about the Tribals ahead?
" The tribal councils will just be like any other game now. I don’t feel worse about tribal, only more aware that there is no coming back."

SPENCER, you battled the toughest Summit battle yet - but unlike other before you, had no choice to go to the opposite tribe. What has it been like to be back on the same ground with people that voted you out?
" Unusual for sure! I know there are fellow Summit returnees still in the game, but as you said, they got to go to other tribes to cool off/acquaint themselves with some people they hadn't met before. I have had to go straight back in with five other people who wrote my name down at the last Tribal Council, and it's been interesting to see how they've responded to me coming back."
KURTIS, you correctly played your idol and saved yourself last round. You also (yet again) proved your ability in challenges this round. Based on your previous gameplay, how big of a threat do you think you are - and why?
" I don't think getting voted out unanimously and needing an idol to save myself is very threatening. In terms of the challenge, I'm neurotic and can't NOT try, so if trying makes me threatening then so be it."

Whilst quite a lot of the answers were great, we felt that the castaways were not giving us enough details. So... we asked for more!
CHRIS, as of the merge, your starting group (Tumblr) is the only community still fully intact. You’ve also been part of a notoriously close team (Galán) in the last part of the game. Do you feel like being part of such tight groups is a benefit to your game or is it becoming a liability?
"Like I said in a previous tribal question, the community affiliation hasn’t affected my gameplay. I truthfully forgot this was “battle of the communities”. I just look at everyone as an individual and judge based on their actions and my conversations with them.
Galan at one point in time did have a friendship. But don’t forget that I was still voted to go to the summit, which regardless of how it went down, still stung. This game changes all the time and with the merge upon us, it could be a new start, a fresh beginning, a light at the end of a very dark day. What these new relationships bring remains to be seen. "
NIKKI, the Summit twist has twisted once again, creating another opportunity to get advantages - with a risk as well of sending a signal to others that you don’t feel safe. Do you think a lot of people will be utilizing this in these first few rounds of merge?
" Yeah there is the new summit twist here and I think people are for sure scared to be seen as targets. You can get an idol if you go there and you get clues to the idol if you do as well. I’ve always felt that idols are taboo and I am not the biggest fan of having them. Going puts such a huge target on your back. There is the added pressure of if you feel you should tell your alliance about the clues you received. I thought that yes people would be using it, surprised it didn’t come out this round."
KY, Out of this group of 11 people, how many do you think are truly serious contenders to win the game?
" I would say the same number of categories of towels that Monica has in friends. Which is 11."

Now, as everyone has had their time to speak , I'll go tally the votes.
If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and wants to play it, now would be the time to do so.
