Episode 9 - The Merge!

[Deleted]

I fucking love merge episodes.

Literally scared out of my mind for Cody at the moment.

For the iSurv1vor nerdlings out there, some factoids to celebrate this occasion.

- FvF1 had 7 Favorites to 4 Fans. FvF2 has 7 Fans to 5 Favorites.
- Cody is the 4th person to join Lori, Jeffrey & Brit in making the merge three times so we need to name a Club for them in the same vein as Glory Spot, Winners Circle, F4 Club etc.
- Chris, Eric, Aaron, Daniel, Nicole & Billy are the only players to not have a vote against them thus far.
- Original membership shows Koji at the bottom of the pack with 2 players followed by Yuubu & Saaki with 3 members and finally Chikara leading with 4.

Yay for merge! I feel like I missed that whole last episode. Adios to Kelman and Ginny. Soo glad they went out before merge.

wtf@ Cody and Robbie self voting? Seems pretty strange. Cody got lucky nobody else voted for him besides Ginny. It's gonna be interesting to see if those votes come back to bite them. I'll do a write-up later on the cast and how I think everyone will fare

Idk why neither of them did anything Journal-wise for Episode 8. The challenge wasn't live, and there wasn't a live TC. Also, neither of them told me they were busy and would have them updated at a certain time, so yeah, when I woke up and went to gather results..no episode confessionals, no vote.

1.2 - You must be willing to write confessionals, post chats and thoughts on a regular basis. This is simple. Private confessionals will be made for every castaway. When logged in each person can post conversations with other players, as well as post personal thoughts about things going on in the game...first impressions, alliances, strategy..etc.. It's that simple! This information submitted will be used after the game has completed production. Everyone's confessional will be unlocked for all eyes to read, it's pretty fun. A minimum of 2 quality confessional posts per round are required. If you fail to comply with this rule your right to vote will be taken away and will go toward yourself instead. Confessional posts are your own thoughts, not just conversations posted with other people.

6.2 - Self-voting is the act of a participant failing to meet requirements or meeting deadlines. You will not be penalized with a self vote for poor challenge participation. A two-strike rule is in force wherein if you fail to vote twice over the entire period of the game you will be evacuated.

Merge write up coming soon as well!!

Well while not too much is going on, I'll tell you guys a quick story from last night lol. I was on a call with Eric, Robbie and Chris, and they were screen sharing to show their votes to each other. Right after they did that, Robbie had to go and left the call. Eric was then like "Hey Chris, did you see Robbie's chat history when he shared his screen?" and Chris was like "No, did you see it?" And Eric was like "Yeah, and Robbie has a chat called 'The Doctor, the Nurse and the Patient..." and Chris was just like "Oh, that's weird...."

But like LOL, because that chat is the name of the chat between Robbie/Chris/Cody (since Chris is a future nurse and Cody is a future doctor). And Eric totally saw it!!! He hasn't commented on it in his journal (yet, at least) so maybe he didn't think about it, but it seems obvious to me. It kind of put Chris in an awkward situation because if he admitted it, then Eric knows that the 3 of them have their own chat. But he acted like he didn't know what it was, so now Eric could possibly think he's being even more sneaky.

Lol but when Eric said that on call, Chirs IMed me:

[1/25/14 11:39:25 PM] Chris Barkley: OMG
[1/25/14 11:39:25 PM] Chris Barkley: OMG
[1/25/14 11:39:26 PM] Chris Barkley: OMG
[1/25/14 11:39:26 PM] Chris Barkley: GE
[1/25/14 11:39:26 PM] Chris Barkley: AW

Lol, just a funny side story that was pretty hilarious to witness first hand. Eric said he took a screenshot of Robbie's screen, so maybe he'll post it and yall can see.

The merge is gonna be interesting.

Will Billy overcome the lack of numbers at merge?
Will Sami continue to be the front runner with no opposition?
Will Sassy survive better now that Kel man and his "idol" are out of the game?
Will Jeffrey realize he is on the outs?

Will the nunukoji people really pagong the other tribe? Or will they divide and fall to the more likeable peeps?

On the real though, this is so fun. Did my catching up this morning and I'm so excited for the next few rounds

LOVE that the merge color is grey.

[kirin]

ME TOO, Rob!!!!! Everyone on the cast is bitching about it, but for once I could totally care less!!! I love grey!!!

[Deleted]

They don't appreciate the classics, Punto Tombo now has a friend!

[Ju1ce]

Grey matches the purple and teal but mehhh... I'm not a fan!

[Ju1ce]

lol@ Jeffrey crying about being voted for. I can see why people would be bothered by that but it's just funny. The person you're voting out HAS to vote someone. They aren't going to vote themselves. Even Cody in his newest vid wasn't even upset about the 2 he got this past TC. He was basically just like, "Ginny needed someone to vote for I guess and as for my self vote, shit happens sometimes, sorry." lol I also had to laugh at Jeffrey because I was talking to Sassy this morning and she had to go "console him" because Craig voted for him.

[Deleted]

Robbie flipping his shit about his self vote. Motherfucker it's two confessionals per episode, you said you read the rules and you followed it up by signing them!

Fuckouttahere.
