Welcome everyone to another Security Council. It is now time for us to have a little bit of a discussion and then we will get to the vote.
Rudy and Kathy, how does it feel having immunity around your neck right now?
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?
Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?
How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?
As usual, you will have 48 hours to submit your vote. Send to both me and Raymond.
(And since I forgot... >_<; Rudy and Kathy need to announce whether or not they will give away their immunity. Kathy has already announced she will keep her immunity, so only Rudy must announce it now.)

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire? -- Yes, it's getting more and more strenuous.
Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge? -- It's the same as before. Talk to everyone and see if I can survive each TC.
How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay? -- It's not a factor to me at all. You play the game for yourself, to get yourself further, without hurting too many people. I avoid backstabbing not because of potential jury votes but as consideration to the person's feelings.

Having been close to getting immunity 3 times now, it's good to have it. I always try at challenges and sometimes the reward feels nice. Like at star, lol. I'm keeping mine.
Decisions I make have to do with how I will feel about myself at the end of the game - when this is all behind us.
Strategy is different in some ways for me in this group of all stars but has not really changed. I still will always make decisions that I feel comfortable with and with the time and energy I have. I listen to those who write respectfully and reply and discuss if I can. Most people know that it's best not to push me - if I feel pushed, left out or put down, then I will be pushed away eventually from what people may want - I'll go with those who are respectful even if we have different ideas.

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire? To be honest, I don't feel as stressed out as before, like early merge.
Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge? No it hasn't.
How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay? Very big, you have to impress them with how you play the game. They look at your character, your values, etc. So right now, people might make moves to improve their standing with the jury.

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?

Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?
No i dont think so
How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?

(nods hello to Ozzy, Alicia, Stacy, Tom and Tina.)
Sorry for the delay Jeff. I will be keeping my immunity.
Rudy and Kathy, how does it feel having immunity around your neck right now?
It feels good! I worked hard and fast to try to win because I am outnumbered here and I feel very vulnerable of going home very soon.
Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire?
OMG YES! Each week I am still here I have to try to figure out how to keep myself here the next week. lol
Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge?
Yep it has. When you see your alllies leave one after the other, you have to start changing your strategy.
How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay?
Its not a factor at all for me. I am playing my game how I want to play it. Most of the jury know how I play. Even if they didnt, what I do is what I need to do and if the jury cant see the reasoning behind it, maybe if I get to the end, I can explain it to them. I am not doing anything to purposely impress them, but I would love for them to be impressed because of what I do! ;D

Have you felt the game intesifying as it gets down to the wire? Yeah definatly. I mean, I weren't lied to at the start of merge, but now it's down to the wire ... I've been lied to. I can't abide being lied to unnecesarily, and I also find it laughable that they think they can get away with it without me bringing it up. Silas has told me that James has been telling him about a F4 of myself, Steph, BJ and himself which James denies saying. I asked them both flat out and they each say the other is lying, and although I have an incling, I genuinely don't know who is the bull$hitter, because neither has given me any reason to not trust them in the past, and I didn't expect either to lie to me, considering I've been nothing but honest to them. So, I'll ask you both ... can you both argue your way in here please? I want to know who the liar is, and I'm getting nowhere with PMs ... so whoever is telling the truth, please get angry and call the other out .... maybe add in an insult too for making a liar of you. Thanks. Has your strategy changed at all since the beginning of the merge? Not really no, though to be honest I've never had a set in stone strategy. How big of a factor do you think impressing the jury is when it comes to mid-merge gameplay? For me personally it's not a factor at all. I please and impress nobody other than myself. I'm here to play a game, and if I make it to the end, then I'll happily explain everything to the jury, though it's not in my nature to kiss arse, so I won't start now, nor will I start should I make it to the end.

Sundra, I haven't lied to you and I won't. Silas is bluffing. I haven't spoken to him since May 18. In fact, I'll even take a printscreen of my inbox and a printscreen of every message I've had with Silas and send it to you.
