The Tribal Council ...

<Dingo> Everyone, now that the other team has been eliminated, have you given any thought about your upcoming voting strategies?
<sumo> I'm gonna have to think hard. I'm not sure now.
<Akrovak> I've been thinking about voting strategies since the beginning of the game ... and I still have no idea what I'm doing
<BigDogz2500> It's going to be tough to vote out the people We've spent the whole game with thus far, but it has to be done
<MarlinsGirl> what BigDogz said
<weirdstef> I'm going to have to think too but have no idea what I'm doing and what BigDogz said
<Dingo> OK
<sumo> So dingo, what do you think bout what has happened so far.
<Dingo> Everyone, with the medley (Which will include samples of three challenges) coming up, is there any particular challenge you felt like you were really good at?
<sumo> None for me.
<Dingo> Oh....well a little embaressed about this challenge right now
<Dingo> cheesy
<Dingo> But other than that, I feel pretty good
<Akrovak> I think I rocked at Reality Bites
<Dingo> I think this game has gone a lot smoother than anyone could expect
<weirdstef> none for me either
<MarlinsGirl> i felt pretty good in Picture puzzle game
<sumo> I thought you did better with that map game.
<Dingo> Except for the Picture Puzzle incident and a few rough spots here or there, I think this is easilly the smoothest running Survivor
<weirdstef> I wish we could have stolen some of the questions in this game it would have made it a lot more interesting
<sumo> I agree. Maybe this can be a stipulation if this is redone for the next survivor
<Dingo> Yeah it would've. I should've added that
<Akrovak> I stunk so much at this game ... I feel bad for SH
<Dingo> Ak, you were two away from a Dingo at the end
<BigDogz2500> But if we did stealing what would you do about the fact that not everyone had the same numbers
<sumo> I think she is lucky because she confessed to me a while back she doesn't know trivia that well
<Dingo> OK, does anyone have any questions before we wrap it up?
<sumo> Pick a number that we missed.
<BigDogz2500> ah
<Dingo> Can't. Closed the cards.
<sumo> Yeah, since the next challenge will be the last vote, will you reval the votes afterwards?
<Dingo> cheesy
<Dingo> I can't reveal the votes simply because I don't have them
<Dingo> tongue
<Akrovak> lol
<sumo> Basically, the medley will be the last vote off. The next one is the lowest finisher and the next one will be the immunity winner choosing his or her opponent
<Dingo> If Driew and Anth have been good little co hosts with the vote keeping, yes
<sumo> I trust them,
<BigDogz2500> wait.....lowest finisher?
<sumo> Yeah, dingo explained it in chit cat for the last week or so
<Dingo> Not nessecarily
<Dingo> Oh, wait
<Dingo> I didn't see what you meant
<Dingo> There'll be a side challenge for the people who don't win immunity on the medley
<sumo> After the medley challenge, the votes won't matter anymore.
<BigDogz2500> sorry, I was gone last week and haven't had the chance to read uup on what I missed
<Dingo> OK
<Dingo> Anything else?
<sumo> Yeah, notice how there was no ak bashing this time?
<Akrovak> that's cause I cried
<sumo> It's because I felt bad that he had to reschedule his date night.
<MarlinsGirl> yeah i noticed
<Dingo> Except his own
<Dingo> OK, I guess that wraps things up

Welcome, Babalus to tribal council!!!


This is where you will answer for your actions and your contributions to the tribe. Please take a torch and light it in the fire.

At Tribal Council, fire represents life on the island. As long as your torch is lit, you will remain in the game. When the fire goes out, you go home. Well ... okay ... maybe you ARE home already ... but you're out of the game anyways.




Remember, MarlinsGirl and BigDogz2500 have immunity this tc and can not be voted off!



Akrovak

samuraisumo

weirdstef


Remember, Driew is back, and ready to serve your voting needs!


Send your vote to Driew_La_27 by Saturday, July 30th at 11:59 pm est. Votes sent to me will not be counted and will be regarded as a non vote unless you resend your vote to Driew! Please use their actual SCREENNAME [NOT their real name or any Survivor nickname you may have for them], so that it will be easier for Driew to tally the votes. You can include a reason if you'd like, but it is not necessary, and no comments will be mentioned to anyone else during this Tribal Council. PLEASE NOTE: If any Tribe Members fail to vote by the end of Tribal Council, their vote will count as an automatic vote against them! Once all the votes have been cast, or once the time deadline for Tribal Council has passed, I will tally and then read the votes

I now have the results.





The next person voted out is......

weirdstef

weirdstef, the tribe has spoken Feel free to leave some final comments.








Final thoughts: For the first time since the beginning of the game, you've had to vote out one of your own. Everyone's in dangerous territory.....though with in essence, 4 immunities next week, you can feel a lot more safe. You can head back to camp.

Well the game was fun while it lasted. It will be interesting to see who gets to be the final two and who gets the final vote from the jury. May the best person win!



Trixie

Please read all the rules carefully, as I will not be answering questions after we begin. If there are parts you don't understand, they will become more clear as we go along.



Note there is NO TIME LIMIT ON THIS CHALLENGE!!!! It could take several minutes, it could take several days. In the highly unlikely event this challenge is not done by Friday, I will call the challenge and the person furthest along in the game wins
















Welcome Survivors, to the Medley challenge!!!


This challenge will test just how much you've learned during the game as we'll revisit a few challenges from the games past in four easy steps!


We'll start with Where in the World is Weird Al Yankovic (Click to reread the rules if you need too).


The same rules apply here. When you answer a question, the first letter of each answer will spell out a phrase. When you have that phrase, enter it into the url (Under the questions)


PM me with the url and all the answers (Even though the phrase will become obvious after a few letters, you must answer every question correctly or I will not send you the next part!)

Meanwhile, when you go to that URL, you'll see a Rock and Roll hALl of Fame (Click to reread the rules if you need too) puzzle. The same rules apply here (Including 1 artist who doesn't have a question asked and one answer that appears more than once), though much like the first part, the letter answers (For example: abcde.......) will be used to fill in a url (Which is included with the PM I'll send you)

Go to that URL (You won't have to PM me with the answers this time, because even if you get one answer wrong, you're not going anywhere ), and you'll see 2 extremely tough Al Pal Picture Puzzles.

PM me the answers, and you're in the home stretch.


I'll PM you one last time with an image containing three birthday cards (Like from waaaaay back in the first challenge). In fact, on those cards, you'll notice I did something to make this last part of the challenge easier. There'll be one url. One of the celebrities last names fills the url. Figure out the three celebrities, enter a name, and if you go to the page with the immunity avatar, you win! Post the winning url in the gameplay thread, and that'll mark the end of the challenge!


Let's recap!

1. Answer all the questions below

2. Replace the stars in the url with the answer phrase.

3. PM me with the answers and the url. Also go to that url (See step 2)

4. I'll pm you with the next set of questions. Answer them using the puzzle and replace the stars in the url (That will be in my pm with the questions).

5. Go to that url and solve the picture puzzles.

6. PM me the correct answers to the picture puzzles, and I'll send you a pm with three celebrity birthday cards.

7. There'll be one more url. Replace the (?) with one of the celebs last names. When you get the correct one that takes you to the immunity avatar, post the winning url in the gameplay thread and you win immunity.


If you still don't get the rules, I'll be explaining them again in each pm to you! This challenge probably sounds more complicated than it actually is!








Here's the questions:


1. Where Al kicked off his first tour

2. Entertainer who had a parade in Kansas City, MO in 2004 that Al served as Grand Marshall for.

3. Home country to second artist parodied on Bad Hair Day

4. Tour stop during the Running With Scissors VH1 Video Collection
