I feel really bad for the self-votes because they didn't really know what was going down or when TC and stuff would be due. Robbie at least posted something and Cody stayed an hour or more later than he should have because he was late to something in the evening, which he made aware as far as I know, so it definitely would have been helpful if they knew in advance when TC would be and when it would be due in order to give them time to get a confessional up. There really wasn't much to write about during the IC, because most of the time you don't update until things have been set in stone, in which case for Cody, he had already been over an hour late to his event because of the challenge, so he had to get going.
Idk I just feel like it's a shitty situation and the deadline being extra short (really, just overnight - when he'd be unavailable) was unfortunate, and he didn't know that until Kirin texted him and he was already gone or something. Oh well, it's the game I guess. If that winds up costing him in some tiebreaker situation though I will feel awful because it's 100% apparent that he is putting his all in this game and making sacrifices (ie. being over an hour late to his event in order to finish IC which was already running late - not his fault).
Anyway I'm excited to see the merge and I REALLY hope it's not a Pagonging. Some of the attitudes by the Chikara boys are annoying because they're looking down on Craig for lying to them, when I totally feel like he had reason to, in order to avoid getting votes himself (since Craig had past-votes, and Sassy hadn't at the time), but they're just being bitchy (mostly Robbie from what I can tell anyway), and it's kind of a bit rude.

I do find it ironic and funny that the favorites have been the ones most guilty of the lack of journal updates and such. You'd think they would know by now, honestly. I know things happen and you have to make priorities but it would be easy to give Sandy a heads up before hand so you're not penalized. Rules are rules and if you break them, expect consequences. Just don't make excuses. Excuses are like assholes... everyone's got em and they usually stink!

Feel bad about self votes?
How can 90% of the cast this episode update their journals and be in the know of how Journals work, yet two of them didnt... the round was NOT confusing in terms of when to update your damn journal lol. NOTHING WAS LIVE.
The two of them spent more than enough time online to update their journals, not to mention they're vets. there is zero excuse.
I feel like if Kelman and Ginny got a self vote because of not updating their Journal, no one would care, and ppl would point and laugh. But because Cody and Robbie (ppl who seem to be loved) can't follow thru with the rules one round, and it's like a travesty. XD

How is him staying late relevant to him not updating his Journal? I told them two rounds prior that if it were going to be a live tc, i would let them know in challenge instructions, as so be aware that when results were posted, a tc would follow. The only reason Debbie's TC was live (was supposed to be 24 hours) was because the entire tribe wanted a live one. The Attacking challenge never said anything about a live TC, and Kirin and I discussed both dbl tc's would be non-24 hours. Why Cody stuck around and was late to his real life engagement? I have no idea why, and really is not my issue lol. That should have no weight whatsoever in the discussion of why he had no journal lol. He got home after his real life thing, answer his TC question and still didn't update his Journal. The 12 hour deadline was Kirin's doing, so if Cody and Robbie received self votes because of it... Ooops. lol I dunno regardless, there should have been no confusion about Journals. Over 2 days to make 2 posts, gimme a break. There are plenty of opportunities to write 3 sentences in your journal. - the prior round aftermath - pre IC - post IC - pre TC - post TC plus any other random rants and things... Anyways, yeah. Not sorry.

Craig, Aaron, Nicole, Billy, Ginny - have all given me heads up about confessionals throughout the game. So if they didn't update at all, or updated after the fact, it's been cleared by me. That's all it really takes if life takes over.

In fvf1 he tried to quit when he got red rovered to zeta and had to earn back his immunity, surprisingly, the rules said that if you swap to the losing tribe you have to earn it back.
Don't be surprised if he quits again. Sobbie doesn't deserve 1 1/2 pages as it is.

They could have written confessionals during the challenge, but they didn't even know TC would be shortened to twelve hours so they didn't know they had to make time for it during that period. Post-IC, Pre-TC, and Post-TC were all hard for them since it was a period of twelve hours, of which Cody did make it known he didn't have much time for, and he still made as much time as possible to finish up IC/to post a TC answer and I feel like it would suck being penalized for something after going out of his way for this game.
I'm just saying having more time to know if the TC is live/24 hours/randomly and inconveniently 12 hours… would be plenty helpful. There's a reason why this is the first round to have two self-votes.

and yes I feel bad for self-votes because not only does it make the game look like there were inactive players, but it will also hurt their game but it was totally avoidable if the deadline weren't 12 hours for no reason.

I wonder what they're going to call the merge, praying that Sassy names it after something in Switzerland.

I still don't feel bad about the self votes. Both of them read TC instructions and know the drill around here. They're not retarded.
