Yeah I have gotten to know people the best I can! Nobody has really struck out as off or sticks out. I think there just needs to be more time to get to know people like that personally. 

[Michael Snow]

Taylor, how do you feel this vote sets the tone for the rest of the merge? 

[Jay]

Does anyone feel like they are in danger tonight? 

I always feel in danger with you around Michael :unabused:

Jay, don't disappoint me with this question: Who haven't you connected with on this tribe?

In all seriousness in relation to my previous response, I never feel safe unless I'm not at tribal or without the necklace. 

In reference to this question, there's a natural distance from the people that I hadn't met before, although I do really enjoy them on a personal level, but I think there's a natural cautiousness on both sides of the exchange. Hopefully that can be waned away throughout the game.

[Jacob]

Ricard, your original tribe has only three members remaining out of the 14 total on this tribe.  Does that carry any meaning at this point in the game?

Looks at me and wendell. *Blinks*

[Lindsey]

Lindsey, what have you done this weekend to make sure it won't be you tonight? 

Hi Loveita! I've just tried to strengthen the bonds I've already made, and tried my best to get to know all the new players as much as I could. Fingers crossed, but I'm always worried.

[Ricard]

I'd like to think not. This has been the laundromat of ORGs - we've all been through the spin cycle, and then the dryer, and then the spin cycle again - and so I think allegiances are up in the air right now. I think it's more important to look at who has made big moves with who, because I think that's really where the trust between people lies.

Is everything going according to keikaku

Is this your way of telling me that you hate Shirin, Tyler, and Erika?

Plan, he means plan. 

[Taylor]

Taylor, how do you feel this vote sets the tone for the rest of the merge? 

This is such a pivotal vote. We're meeting 2 to 3 to FOUR new people after 3+ weeks of playing this game. We've all have very unique journeys to get to this point, relationships intertwining and now we're trying to settle in for the long game. Tonight we get a better idea of where we stand.

Of course not, and I think to use the word hate comes off really strong and particularly I don't dislike any of them, I enjoy talking to all of them. In a game sense however, there's definitely been some natural distancing that's happened just due to the nature of the game.

Shirin, Tyler, and Erika. How do you feel about this response? 

[James Zinkand]

Shirin, now that you are at the merge, do you start considering "managing" the people you look to vote out, in case they end up on the jury.  Or is it too early for that?

[Jeff Probst]

At this time, all votes are final. 

If anyone has an idol and would like to play it, you now have 5 minutes to do so.

I'll go tally the votes.

It lines up with how I feel about Jay as well. I've really enjoyed talking with him, but it's all been non-game to date

[Jeff Probst]

I'll read the votes:

[Jacob]

are you kidding me right now.

[Jeff Probst]

One more thing... Jessica, you are officially the first member of the Jury.

[Jessica]

Jeff I had sooo much fun and made some real life friends. I can’t believe I’m in the Jury! Glad I read those sweet notes and know who they were from! 
Love y’all!! Xoxo

[Wendell]

GG Jessica, sorry to see you go
