[Merrid]

Much thanks Anomandaris. But that's my Wife...

[Eloth]

Also, Ano over shooting his loved one... that sounds really dirty, PB!

[Path-Shaper]

"OK, Anomandaris, you have chosen to spend the afternoon with your loved one rather than share that benefit to perhaps curry favor with the rest of the tribe. You, Alkend, and Merrid can take your loved ones and head down that trail right now. Have a good afternoon."

[Path-Shaper]

"The rest of the day passes uneventfully, as does the next. On Day 33, you receive tree mail and are directed to return to the challenge area. When you do, Jeff is waiting as usual, and there are a series of seats (from the auction?), covered with what appear to be some kind of cards."

"Today's immunity challenge will test your knowledge of the people with whom you've grown very familiar... you will each be asked a series of 10 questions, the same questions. For each question, you need to do two things. First, tell me what your answer is... and second, tell me what you think the majority answer will be. Whoever correctly guesses the most answers that the tribe will pick will win immunity... a guaranteed one-in-six chance at winning this game."

---

This immunity challenge will work like this:

1) I will ask 10 questions below. You must PRIVATELY tell me what 'your' answer is for each question. You may put yourself down, unless the question clearly directs you to guess some 'other' person.
2) Then, you need to tell me what the 'majority' answer is for each question (if multiple people are tied with the most answers, then all tied people are considered the answer). You may choose ANY player as a guess, including yourself, since you're trying to figure out who the majority opinion is.
3) Whoever guesses the most correct answers wins immunity

You are NOT trying to put down, as 'your' answer, what you think the majority is. You're simply answering the question.

---

Here are your questions! Submit all answers and guesses privately, your Confessional thread. (I will be gone throughout my day, as usual, so if you have any questions for me about the challenge, I will have to answer them when I get back, but hopefully this all makes sense).


1. After 33 days... most of you have not taken a bath. Who is the smelliest person here?
2. Of the remaining players, who does not belong out here in the wilderness (you don't need to tell me your reasoning)?
3. Who, among you, has grown the most as a 'person' in their time out here on Survivor?
4. If you were immediately placed on the jury right now and had to vote for someone based only on what you know as of this moment, who would you vote for?
5. Of all of the players, which one seems to be trying to hide something about themselves more than the others?
6. If not for Survivor, and if not for the initial tribal divisions, who are you most likely to make as a friend outside of this game?
7. Who here would most likely have made it as a professional player in a sporting league?
8. Who are you most surprised to still see out here after 33 days?
9. Who out here has the biggest appetite?
10. Who probably needs to win immunity the most in this challenge?

[Eloth]

Exciting.

[Anomandaris]

this should be fun

[Alkend]

damnit, I lost again.



but I cashed in on the reward anyhow, sa-weet.

[Tulas Shorn]

Wow. Just simply wow.

[Path-Shaper]

"OK, everyone's made all of their choices, so the challenge will begin."

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 1. After 33 days... most of you have not taken a bath. Who is the smelliest person here? A few of you got to take a nice bath with Herbal Essences products... but was it enough to make you clean enough? Everyone has selected their guess. Go ahead and turn your answers over.

Alkend - Eloth
Anomandaris - Ruse
Eloth - Eloth
Merrid - Merrid
Ruse - Anomandaris
Serc - Anomandaris
Tulas Shorn - Tulas Shorn

The correct answer... is a tie. Eloth and Merrid, both correct with two answers! Alkend, Eloth, and Merrid all get one point!

The Score - Q1

Alkend - 1
Anomandaris - 0
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 1
Ruse - 0
Serc - 0
Tulas Shorn - 0

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 2. Of the remaining players, who does not belong out here in the wilderness? Maybe it's someone who it's very woodsy... maybe it's someone who seems to struggle with the social aspects of the game... or maybe it's someone who's weak in the challenges? Turn over your guesses.

Alkend - Eloth
Anomandaris - Ruse
Eloth - Anomandaris
Merrid - Ruse
Ruse - Ruse
Serc - Ruse
Tulas Shorn - Ruse

Almost everyone says it's Ruse... and they are correct. With four answers, Ruse is considered most out of his element! Anomandaris, Ruse, Serc, and Tulas Shorn are on the board, while Merrid jumps into the lead with two points!

The Score - Q2

Alkend - 1
Anomandaris - 1
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 2
Ruse - 1
Serc - 1
Tulas Shorn - 1

"Question 3. Who, among you, has grown the most as a 'person' in their time out here on Survivor? Maybe they've learned something about themselves, or maybe they have experienced a personality transformation... OK, let's see those guesses.

Alkend - Tulas Shorn
Anomandaris - Tulas Shorn
Eloth - Serc
Merrid - Merrid
Ruse - Tulas Shorn
Serc - Tulas Shorn
Tulas Shorn - Serc

Four people think Tulas Shorn got the most nods... and they are correct. With four answers, Tulas Shorn is considered to have grown the most. Alkend, Anomandaris, Ruse, and Serc all move into a tie with Merrid for first place with 2 points! Eloth and Tulas Shorn still have 1 point.

The Score - Q3

Alkend - 2
Anomandaris - 2
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 2
Ruse - 2
Serc - 2
Tulas Shorn - 1

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 4. If you were immediately placed on the jury right now and had to vote for someone based only on what you know as of this moment, who would you vote for? This could be a very dangerous question to answer accurately... and even more dangerous to the person who was answered. Let's see what you think.

Alkend - Anomandaris
Anomandaris - Anomandaris
Eloth - Serc
Merrid - Anomandaris
Ruse - Merrid
Serc - Merrid
Tulas Shorn - Anomandaris

Alkend, Anomandaris, Merrid, and Tulas Shorn all think it's Anomandaris. That's a pretty bold guess from Anomandaris to think everyone would pick him! Eloth says it's Serc... Ruse and Serc say it's Merrid... and they are correct. Merrid, with 4 answers, is the answer. Ruse and Serc take control of first place with 3 correct! And I think Merrid is either blushing or embarassed.
The Score - Q3

Alkend - 2
Anomandaris - 2
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 2
Ruse - 3
Serc - 3
Tulas Shorn - 1

"Question 5. Of all of the players, which one seems to be trying to hide something about themselves more than the others? This could be just as big a red flag to the player as the question before may have been to Merrid. Let's see what you think...

Alkend - Alkend
Anomandaris - Anomandaris
Eloth - Eloth
Merrid - Anomandaris
Ruse - Anomandaris
Serc - Ruse
Tulas Shorn - Tulas Shorn

Three people, including himself, say it's Anomandaris. Everyone else is all over the board. The correct response is... Anomandaris... with only two answers! Looks like you all have a little something to hide. Ruse has taken the lead with 4 points! Anomandaris, Merrid, and Serc are right behind with 3. Alkend's got 2 and Eloth and Tulas Shorn are really struggling... with 1 point.

The Score - Q5

Alkend - 2
Anomandaris - 3
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 3
Ruse - 4
Serc - 3
Tulas Shorn - 1

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 6. If not for Survivor, and if not for the initial tribal divisions, who are you most likely to make as a friend outside of this game? Who is an easy-going person? Who makes you laugh or keeps you entertained? Guesses please.

Alkend - Eloth
Anomandaris - Anomandaris
Eloth - Tulas Shorn
Merrid - Serc
Ruse - Merrid
Serc - Serc
Tulas Shorn - Anomandaris

Talk about your split answers... Anomandaris picks himself, and so does Tulas Shorn. Serc picks himself, and so does Merrid. Ruse thinks everyone guessed Merrid, Alkend says Eloth, and Eloth says Tulas Shorn. The actual response is... Merrid, with 3 answers! Maybe that's why so many of you said you'd vote for him right now? Ruse, with another correct guess, has taken a commanding two-point lead on first place!

The Score - Q6

Alkend - 2
Anomandaris - 3
Eloth - 1
Merrid - 3
Ruse - 5
Serc - 3
Tulas Shorn - 1

"Question 7. Who here would most likely have made it as a professional player in a sporting league? Who's good at challenges, or do you think would have been good in sports? Maybe a former athlete? Turn 'em over.

Alkend - Anomandaris
Anomandaris - Anomandaris
Eloth - Anomandaris
Merrid - Anomandaris
Ruse - Serc
Serc - Anomandaris
Tulas Shorn - Anomandaris

Well that is anything but a split answer. Only Ruse thinks it's Serc... but he's wrong. It is Anomandaris, with five answers. Ruse still holds the lead, but everyone just gained on him!

The Score - Q7

Alkend - 3
Anomandaris - 4
Eloth - 2
Merrid - 4
Ruse - 5
Serc - 4
Tulas Shorn - 2

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 8. Who are you most surprised to still see out here after 33 days? Who maybe doesn't deserve to be here, is another way of looking at that question...

Alkend - Alkend
Anomandaris - Anomandaris
Eloth - Anomandaris
Merrid - Ruse
Ruse - Ruse
Serc - Alkend
Tulas Shorn - Anomandaris

For the fifth straight question, Anomandaris picks himself as the guess. Maybe he's a little full of himself? That said... he's wrong! The answer is... Alkend, with a staggering five votes! Alkend correctly guessed himself, and so did Serc, who now is tied with Ruse for the lead!

The Score - Q8

Alkend - 4
Anomandaris - 4
Eloth - 2
Merrid - 4
Ruse - 5
Serc - 5
Tulas Shorn - 2

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 9. Who out here has the biggest appetite? Who's eating you out of house and home? Turn them over!

Alkend - Anomandaris
Anomandaris - Serc
Eloth - Serc
Merrid - Eloth
Ruse - Serc
Serc - Anomandaris
Tulas Shorn - Tulas Shorn

Anomandaris, Eloth, and Ruse all think it's Serc. Serc and Anomandaris think it's Ano. Merrid says Eloth, and Tulas Shorn says himself... the correct response is... Eloth, with 3 answers! Merrid, has just put himself into a tie with Ruse and Serc for the lead! Ruse had a huge lead but now has to fend off two people to win it... one question to go!

The Score - Q9

Alkend - 4
Anomandaris - 4
Eloth - 2
Merrid - 5
Ruse - 5
Serc - 5
Tulas Shorn - 2

[Path-Shaper]

"Question 10. Who probably needs to win immunity the most in this challenge? Maybe the biggest question of them all... let's see what you said!

Alkend - Anomandaris
Anomandaris - Eloth
Eloth - Eloth
Merrid - Eloth
Ruse - Ruse
Serc - Anomandaris
Tulas Shorn - Tulas Shorn

There will be no tie-breaker here... Merrid, Ruse, and Serc all think it's someone different. One of them is correct. Merrid says it's Eloth. Ruse says it's himself, and Serc says it's Anomandaris. The correct answer is... Eloth!

The Score - Q10

Alkend - 4
Anomandaris - 5
Eloth - 3
Merrid - 6
Ruse - 5
Serc - 5
Tulas Shorn - 2

Merrid wins immunity with a come-from-behind victory!

---

Merrid, very well done today... I'm impressed. You have to feel pretty good with that thing around your neck considering people think you're worthy of a vote at this point... and you're apparently pretty likable, too. You are safe from tonight's vote. Everyone else... Tribal Council, and someone will be the 6th member of our jury.

(I will open TC later tonight, need to take care of a few things first)
