1. What happened in tonight's vote? Were you surprised by any of the votes or did it go how you expected?

2. Have you started to consider your path to the end? If so, what's it look like? And how do you like your odds of winning?

3. Is it too soon to consider jury votes? If so, when do you start? If not, what do you make of our first juror?

4. Please give us a trust ranking and maybe include a score out of 10 for each person with a brief reason for that score.

1. I had no idea the votes were going to Spencer. I thought they were all voting Nat, and thank god they didn't. But the one we went for went home, even if it wasn't the one we really wanted.

2. I have. I think I have to ditch my alliance at some point, because they're all power players. Like for example, Andrea: Is liked by so many and has that sort of charm, whereas everybody thought I was a douche before meeting me. I'm not sure I'll win with Tai and Julia in the jury, but we'll see what we can do. Gotta have a little faith.

3. It's never too soon. Right now I don't trust Tai, but getting him out is not a smart move. From what I'm hearing even after the sob story, nobody likes him. Tai would be a good man to take to the end. And I think if I position myself with the right people, Julia will toss a vote my way. We didn't have the best connection, but we're Aomak siblings through thick and thin.

4. My trust ranking? Ok

Steve - 9
Andrea - 8.5
Spencer - 7
Nat - 6
Aubry - 5.5
Morgan - 5
Trish - 4
Lindsey - 3
LJ - 2
Tai - 0

What's the plan tonight, Nicholas? How you feeling heading into immunity?

Well, Trish seemed to have orchestrated the whole Spencer thing, but even without her, we have the numbers 6-5 (7-4 if Aubry joins us). It was really a dumb move on Trish's part to swap from the majority to the minority with this one. What we're really fretting over is idols. We think at least two idols are still out there, so we have to play our votes smart.

In terms of immunity, it's been good and bad. In the first individual immunity challenge I was only a few numbers off of immunity if I could have held out for 21 more minutes. In this most recent challenge, I lost by seconds. So even though it's been heartbreak so far, the signs of progress are there, and I've been a real contender in these immunities.
