Lindsey, did the challenge affect your perception of people or call attention to anyone in particular?
Well, I think it goes without saying that everyone sees Andrea as the biggest threat, and now that's been made apparent to everyone. She and Morgan were the All Stars of those superlatives!

Let's talk about pairs:

LJ and Lindsey, you two have been together since the beginning of the game. The same can be said about Natalie and Andrea.

Steve, are the perceived pairs a factor in the game?
I think that whenever there are visible alliances this late in the game that you aren't a part of, you have to be super weary. So I'd say that pairs have factored into everyone's strategy a lot.

Maybe that's something sought after for people NOT involved in these visible pairs. It's just a matter of making their own pair, or making trios.

Is there any benefit in keeping the biggest threat over the biggest goat, according to the tribe in that challenge. Which for the record, could mean anything.

Natalie, would you consider yourself to be playing the same as Morgan? Lindsey initially called you out and then later backtracked saying it wasn't so much you.

How did the last council affect your game?
I think me and Morgan are two different players. Just in the way we approach the game and also our personalities.

The last Council didn't affect my game at all. I know who I am as a player, I'm confident in that and will continue to play as such.

#3814 Natalie, is it fair to group you and Andrea as a pair just because you have been on the same tribe since the beginning? Is it accurate taht you two are a solid pair?

Well, it's advantageous to keep both around, really. Keeping the biggest threat around, now that she's the known biggest perceived threat, means everyone will be gunning for her each round, that nobody wants to sit at the very end with someone everyone still left in the game predicts as winning the whole thing.

I'm liking you more and more by the minute :) I just haven't gotten to know you much. But I'd say in the last day I have gotten to know you more than I have over the course of the game. Is that fair?

LJ is it early enough to look at threats and goats and who might be an easy target vs. who might be most beneficial to sit at the end with?
I mean you can plan all you want but you still have to make it there for it to matter. Goats can be voted out and easy targets can make it all the way to final tribal council.

I mean look, I love Andrea. Who doesn't? She's an awesome person. Me and her are probably tighter than anyone else due to the fact that we have been together for such a long time.

But I realize how much of a threat she is. I'd be stupid not to.

So what you're saying is, as long as the biggest threat is in the game, the other next biggest threats are safe? At what point does threats and goats become irrelevant or will it always be relevant in terms of their being a biggest threat to win?

Because you're pretty much insulting me to the point where I have to be loud and outspoken? I'm not an outspoken person, I'm quiet and I tend to keep to myself but I feel like at this point if i'm not jumping and reaching at every single chance to speak that I'm looked down upon. Like, You haven't said a single thing about me other than me being a goat or me being disliked, It's annoying.

That's all you've given us. If you are someone who misses a lot of events and doesn't speak during councils, I'm going to comment on it... You don't have to answer, but I also think it's to your benefit to let the jury know who you are, because explaining your way into the win is going to be very difficult if no one knows who you are.

I don't really think it's as easy as Threats vs. Goats. I think keeping Andrea in the game does work as a shield, but to everyone left in the game, even the "goats". I think they're already starting to become irrelevant.

#3824 Nick, you won Immunity, do you think that's becuase you are the most aware of what is going on and the perceptions of players in the game?

If that's the case, what do you think tonight's vote is really about given the recent heated discussions and challenges?

Your perception of the game isn't the reality. There is so much going on behind the scenes that you never get to see, I try my best to go to challenges and I tend to be quieter in group settings like tribal, but one on one, talking person to person? I put a lot into that. Every person sitting on that jury and every person currently in this game I've spoken to a decent amount, whether we were working together or not. You can't count me out or look down upon me because YOU JEFF don't get to see what strings I'm pulling.

Morgan, you also gotta look at it from Jeff's point, who organized this whole game, got us out here to play, and picked YOU over other people. There were probably people who applied for this game who would kill for your spot. Maybe he looks at it like a bit of a slap in the face. He seems a little salty.
