Welcome Boutrous to Security Council and also welcome your jury thus far, Ozzy and Alicia. Let's have a short discussion before we get to the votes. If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything? Stacy, you got the Glosoli question right and I was very impressed. So how did you know that? (Yes, it's a random question, I'm just curious.) James, how does it feel to have immunity right now? Steph, giving away immunity is usually a bad idea. What do you have to say about your decision? If anyone has anything else to say, you may say it now. You have 48 hours to submit your vote. (Results may possibly be late, just so you know. Don't be worried if the votes are somewhat late getting read, nothing is wrong, I'm just anticipating being busy in the coming days. )

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? I'd say it started out pretty tense, got interesting and ended [so far] with a bit of a surprise ... but I'm not complaining, I'd say it's been a fairly good round. What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? I don't think 'qualities' come into it, the games full of too many surprises to be able to pin point certain qualities of a finalist. For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? 2 heads are better than 1?

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?This round is shocking. What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?You'd have to be great at challenges to win immunity, have good social skills for alliances, and you have to have trust and honor, so that others can see that in you and go with you. For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?I asked my friends from school, they were a huge help. I asked around 10 people James, how does it feel to have immunity right now?It makes me feel safe, and it just feels great

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? This round i would say was normal and interesting.. then by the end it was like WOAH! Shocking results and like wow! What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? I think the one quality is trust.. You have to have the people you talk to believe in you and trust you, because then they will understand you and stuff! You need to win challenges of course and just be yourself Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything? My reason was that since it was Memorial Day i had to work.. and a long day at that.. 10am-like 9ish.. it was really busy i got home and like fell right to sleep! And im sorry

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?
Frustrating! (The challenge was really difficult and... er... challenging.)
What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?
Good alliances, good strategy, and good luck!
For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?
Some I recognized. Some looked vaguely familiar, so I googled things like "boys bands" or "female singers." From those lists, I searched the videos. I also just scrolled through the youtube videos. Quickly. I totally missed the N' Sync one.
Stacy, you got the Glosoli question right and I was very impressed. So how did you know that? (Yes, it's a random question, I'm just curious.)
I googled something like "music video drum by water" (but that wasn't exactly it) and the phrase was in a sentence of an article about the group. I typed in the name of the group on youtube and there it was. Later, when I started doing just a quick look at all of the youtube music videos, it was on something like the seventh page too.

^ that's awesome, Stacy! I also want to share that I found out #14 through luck. I don't know what came to me, but that song suddenly jumped in my mind. I looked at the video, and at first the one I saw was the version they aired here in Asia. I noticed there's a US version and watched it, and whoa! There it was.
If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? -- I will say this round should be sent to the electric chair. (get it? one sentence? lol lame)
For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? -- 2 heads are better than 1. I was so pathetic I even asked my co-worker about some of the videos (he named a few!) then asked random people on AIM.
Tom and Bobby Jon, is there any reason that you didn't submit anything? -- I feel bad for BJ, because it was supposed to be a holiday and he was working! I know how it feels, I rarely get holidays myself.
Steph, giving away immunity is usually a bad idea. What do you have to say about your decision? -- I agree that it's usually a bad idea, but I'm taking a risk here, and I want to prove to other people that I can be trusted with my word. They know what I'm all about and I think this move, if I don't get voted off, will at least get others to trust me and believe in me. They would know that I am such a loyal ally and that I am willing to take risks for the benefit of the group and not just for myself.

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?
I was afraid searching for music videos would cause my computer to pick up spyware and it did.
What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?
Challenge performance, trust your gut - maybe not always what you hear, don't assume anything.
For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?
Identify the 2 you know, lol, work with those who are younger and have young friends who may know/watch music videos. Be the checker of answers found. The strategy developed during the challenge - I thought it would involve uTube but did not know how.

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say? - This round was very difficult because I had no idea where to begin with that challenge. What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council? - You need to stay loyal to your alliance, and stay active in all the challenges. For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)? - I actually didn't have one................... I probably should have given it more thought.

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?I was extremely frustrated because music videos disturb me so I dont watch them which made for a very poor performance on my part, which I never like to do in challenges. What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?Luck, foresight, trust (both ways) ....not necessarily in that order For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?To do my best, to try to not get too frustrated, to try to help others with what little I could get, to NOT be the worst at this! lol

If you had to describe this round in just one sentence, what would you say?This was really hard, but I didn't find it any harder than any other challenge, I think it was pretty creative! What qualities do you think are going to be necessary in order to survive the next few rounds and make it to the Final Security Council?Well, I think that people are going to start having to turn on each other at some point, and I know its hard because everyone in this game really does like each other. I guess you just have to be open-minded and listen to all your options if you are going to get farther, you can't be stubborn at this point. For everyone, what was your strategy at the challenge (assuming you had one)?I recognized a lot on my own, and I asked my sister for help as well. If anyone has anything else to say, you may say it now. Good luck to everyone, truly.

Is there a reason in every ForumsNet game I play that jurors are allowed to make comments after they are voted out? Just wondering. Not trying to start a fight, but it seems unfair that they have influence over the game after they have been voted out.

I think their actions should be limited to smilies, to be honest. *rolls eyes because he thinks Steph sucks so bad she must die in a car crash* seems a bit too much. lol. We shouldn't know what you are thinking about!

Personally I thought the smilies were sort of funny...but Silas, the host did tell Ozzy to not do it last round so dont no why it has continued. But I did think it was humorous...reminds me of Eliza from last season. Just my opinion. I dont think they should be able to make comments at all though, nor make quotes. Just the smilies.
