Hope that you've gotten acclimated to this new environment. If it's anything to look forward to, you're almost to the half-way point now in terms of the number of players remaining! Let's get to the questions.

1. What the fuck. I think that's safe to say that was a wild tribal council you Cretans had. Four different people had their name written down at least once, an idol was played negating Stephanie's votes, Jessica and Taylor got exposed for IM'ing each other when it still wasn't time to do so, it ended in a tie vote and James gets sent packing on the revote. With that synposis out of the way, walk us through it. How did this happen? Why did this happen? Did you play any part in the vote or not? Was this something that you wanted to see happen? What are your overall feelings after tribal council?
2. You can now see all 40 people on the memory wall, including people who have been eliminated, past and present. 2 people went home tonight on the Crete and Rhodes tribes. How do you react to these people leaving? How much will that affect your game moving forward? (You can also tell who went by seeing the "loser" role)
3. Tomorrow, 2 tribes are going to tribal council and an additional 2 people will leave. Are you planning to help your tribe win the challenge tomorrow, or are you not against throwing it? Do you have a game plan for the vote is in case you do lose the challenge?
4. Because you've now had a little bit of time to adjust to your new tribemates, how about some new trust rankings? Where do you see everyone at now? Feel free to give trust rankings to just your tribe, or to the full cast of all 3 tribes if you want!

Ahem (clears throat)

I'd like to open up my confessional in song if that's okay. This is to the tune of the beautiful Christmas song we all know and love Feliz Navidad.

I'm mortified (da da da da) I didn't sleep last night (da da da da) I thought I could message to my tribe (da da da da)
I wanna say that I'm SOOOO sorry, It won't happen again so please don't worry.
I wanna say that I'm SOOOO sorry from the bottom of my heaaart. 

Okay, now to the questions.

1. I'm an idiot and read the rules incorrectly so I thought after we voted we could IM. But, before the tribal was the wildest experience I've had since playing the game. I got a messages from Jay telling me to put Stephanie up, which I was so happy about considering all the hurt and trouble she caused. Jay and I have been close since day 1. James was doing some SUPER shady messaging also. He messaged me, Taylor, and Jay and told us we were all going home. I don't think he thought we would tell each other or something? I dunno. My mind is like scrambled eggs at this point so I just go with the person who has been a Villian in this game towards me. THEN I think FINALLY YAYYY she's leaving and JAY, My ally gives her the IMMUNITY IDOL?!?! I found it and gave it to him and Taylor to show my loyalty. So he literally stabbed me in heart with. (as you all saw bc my beautfful Im's were leaked.) As you know, my daughter is obsessed with the game. She pulls a little chair up behind the computer every night and watches me play. She looked at me when he did that and just hugged me and said, "MOMMY"!!! She was a big fan of Jay, and she said, "Jay supremacy is OVER, take him down!". So, there's that.

1. I think when people leave it's always shocking! I was super surprised to see James go. But I heard he threw my name around and wanted me gone so I wasn't super sad. It's hard because when I talked to him I genuinely enjoyed him and he is really well spoken and intelligent. I have to remember if I ever play again, that I will NOT play it this way ever again. It's a game, and I need to treat it as such.

      3.  We do have a plan, and I'm not sure  how solid it is... but I'm making moves for the first time. So we will see! 
 
       4. My whole game got flipped upside down. Right now Taylor, Morgan, Brad are all I have. Bret is a flip flopper and that's all I'll say about that. I need to be nice. Stephanie and Jay are well... the devil. Soooo.

Hey Jessica! Cochran here, Big fan of your work :)

You said you have a plan, can you tell us lurkers what you're thinking for this round?

[Jessica]

Sure! So Morgan was blindsided last night. She got Bradley on board, and so is Tay. So we are planning on voting out Bret. I’m even willing to throw a challenge should we have one. I’d rather blindside Jay, but I don’t think Taylor would be on board for that yet. 
This is the first time I’ve had a plan bc I always leaned on others.

Thank you sooo much Dr. Snow!
