Greetings, Cirie!



You've certainly been a compelling component of this season, and I hope you enjoyed
the experience. SURVIVOR is a tough game. No one ever intended a complex game like
this to be a walk in the park. But enjoy the Jury House from here and be proud of how
far you made it in Ireland!!!
:D



I've added a FINAL WORDS topic to your Confessional, and once I have a chance,
I will post your Final Words in tonight's Tribal Council for everyone to see.




Be sure to check the "JURY HOUSE DETAILS" thread for more info about your time here.




Also . . . .



*EVERY JURY MEMBER NEEDS TO EARN THEIR SPOT TO KEEP THEIR JURY SEAT.
PONDEROSA MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IF A JUROR ISN'T ABLE TO
STAY ON THE JURY........ I WILL BUMP ONE OF THEM INTO AN AVAILABLE SPOT.*




*SO, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME ~ DON'T DISAPPEAR. WE WILL
NEED ACTIVE JURORS TO COMPLETE THIS GAME
.*




*OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOG IN CONSTANTLY, BUT ALL JURORS NEED TO
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE ~ AS YOU WILL EACH HAVE AN IMPORTANT
VOTE AT THE END.*




* * * EACH JUROR NEEDS TO LOG IN A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH
WEEK AND PARTICIPATE AROUND HERE
TO KEEP YOUR SPOT IN THE JURY. IF YOU
NEED TO BE AWAY.......PLEASE INFORM ME BEFOREHAND AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN
WORK SOMETHING OUT. BUT NO JURY SPOT IS GUARANTEED UNLESS EACH OF YOU
REMAIN ACTIVE AND EASY TO REACH HERE IN THE JURY HOUSE. * * *







NOW . . . .





~ A few questions for you to answer as you get settled in:



1) Which phase of the game do you feel was the hardest for you and why? i.e. pre-tribes,
small tribes, reshuffle/swap, merge, etc.



2) Was there a certain challenge (tribes or immunity) that you enjoyed the most and why?


3) If you could do any round over again, which round would it be and what would you change?

Hey Ozzy!

Glad to have you and Joel to help me lick my wounds. lol But otherwise happy to be here on the jury! I suppose ya'll want to get the dirt on the last round eh? Where to begin? I guess I'll start by working on my questions. Should have em up sometime tonight. In the meantime, if you have any questions, fire away!

Sunday should be pretty interesting with the double eviction huh? I'm really looking forward to seeing how the rest of the game plays out! And also spending some time in the jury house gossiping. hehe

Talk to you guys soon and thanks for the welcome!

1) The merge BY FAR was the hardest part of the game for me. It was difficult enough trying to stay in contact with 12 people. On top of that, I had never met 5 of those people and really had no clue what the dynamics on Dublin were like. Trying to formulate my own strategy was extremely complicated as well. To do that effectively required a basic understanding of everyone else’s motivations and relationships with all the number crunching that goes along with that. My head would spin every time I tried to think about it. There were so many unknowns and coming into the merge with a numbers disadvantage, I felt like I was one of the least informed people there. Forging new relationships was quite difficult having precious little information to share. Also, there was no teamwork or unity like there had been prior. It was everyone for themselves, which made things much more nerve wracking and it was difficult not to let paranoia seep in.

2) Hmm. Picking one is really hard. Do I have to? I thought Reading Rainbow was really awesome and I really wished I had gotten to participate in that one! Pot of Gold was an incredible idea and it’s too bad that we didn’t get a chance to play it out. Question and Answer was so much fun and I loved getting a chance to interact with the other tribe. I also really liked Belly up to the Bar.

3) I would definitely say the round I was voted off. I really made some critical errors that I think largely contributed to my outster. I guess some background info is necessary here. Going into the merge, the “pink ladies” as the Limerick tribe called ourselves, had promised to stick together and try to get the outliers on Dublin to vote with us to give us numbers until we got to the final 5. While that was our plan, I really didn’t have much confidence that we would be able to pull that off. So I went shopping for a backup alliance and made a final 4 deal with Rudy, Diane and Julie. After Joel was voted out, Limerick had the numbers advantage, against all odds and were all set to sail to the final five.

For the next round, Rudy, Diane, Zeke and Joel were planning to vote Amanda out. The pink ladies were planning to vote out Todd or Zeke, however I was unsure about Julie and whether or not she was planning to stay with Limerick. While trying to figure this out, I got word that Brooke and Amanda were upset with me because they heard that I was planning to vote for Amanda if Joel won immunity the last round. I hadn’t talked much to them in the previous days and upon hearing this, I suspected they were conspiring with Zeke and Todd to get me voted out and just needed an excuse for betraying our alliance. I freaked out and went into damage control mode thinking I needed to save myself. It turned out that they really were upset and just needed some reassurance that I was going to stay with them. We resolved things and Julie seemed to be on board with us as well. In the meantime, I think I may have inadvertently exposed my alliance with them to Rudy and Diane, resulting in the target switching to me. The fishy thing was they needed a fifth vote to get rid of me and that was Julie. I don’t understand how it benefited her game to get rid of me so there may be more to the story. I do wish I hadn’t overreacted to the news that Amanda and Brooke were upset with me. It seems that being patient and not acting on information unless you know with certainty that it is true is a good way to play this game. Likewise, not letting paranoia cloud your judgement. That was really difficult for me. If we had been able to get rid of Todd or Zeke the last round, I would have been in great shape in this game. I am very interested to find out if I’m correct in my assessment. If not, it wouldn’t be the first time that I was dead wrong with my perceptions in this game.

Hey Joel! Good to see you :)

Glad I get to spend some time getting to know you fellas here in the jury house as our time in the game was woefully cut short.

I'm ready to party down in Ponderosa!

Julie is playing a unique game here. I thought her and I were getting close the round I was voted out.

I think the person playing probably the smartest game right now is Sierra...
Todd/Zeke are the challenge people
Diane/Rudy are the quiet bottom of the alliance people
Julie/Sierra are playing low key strategy
Brooke....ugh i liked her until she voted Bubba out...
Amanda....who?

Tonight's double boot will be fun! Brooke has a trick up her sleeve...I'm anxious to see if she uses it! She's got an advantage that allows her to eliminate somebody's vote...it could make for a very dramatic first boot tonight ;)

How do you know this? Where would she get this?

Also..is there a damn IDOL hidden somewhere? I looked everywhere and couldn't find it.

She got it from one of Lucky's limericks. She got the first one during tribal phases, too. She only told Julie and me, but I'd venture to guess that Julie may try to use it against Brooke to take her out.

I think that there was a shamrock with a link hidden somewhere on the board, and she was the first to click it and find it. At least that's how I understood it from her.
