Man, these last few days of this game I feel like I've been
cursed!
My deepest apologies. I hadn't cleared out the votes from like the last 3 or 4 challenges, and with a couple of personal PMs I received, my PM box suddenly overflowed. I cleaned it out and sent PMs to those I hadn't received votes on yet [I got Cindy's through e-mail but no one elses]; so if you haven't gotten a PM from me, I got your vote. Hopefully those folks will send me their votes quickly and I can post the results ASAP.
Our next matter is a bit more tricky. We are supposed to begin our next Challenge tonight. But reviewing everyone's updated "BAD DAYS", it seems we will be missing at least two of our seven-soon-to-be-six remaining Survivors ... and for the next few days, it seems ...
BAD DAYS IN FUTURE:
AlsGal27 -- August 4th to 11th [plus soccer in evenings]
American Pie -- None
DrSteggy -- None
Manda --
None?
stupidsurgeon27 -- August 4th to 12th
weirdallie27 -- None
WeirdAlFanatic27 -- None
I'm inclined to go ahead and plow through, but missing
33% of your players is a bit much, and this one is another combo Reward/Immunity Challenge -- and the rewards are
plentiful!! I'd hate to see anyone who has gotten so far in the game miss out on a prize or two that they could get.
On the other hand, we've had so many delays, we'll be lucky if we get through these last five Challenges by
Christmas!!

Seriously, though, if by August 13th when Gina and Cindy are both back, our next Challenge would have to be on Monday, August 16th. If we have two Challenges a week thereafter without exception, it will be Monday, August 30th by the time we have our Final Tribal Council.
Of the remaining Survivors [except for Gina and Cindy, who might not be able to post since they may be already gone], I need each of you to post for me in this thread an answer to these questions. Your answers should keep in mind an understanding that schools are about to begin, as are various sports practice sessions etc, and you [or your kids] may be active in these.
( 1 ) Should we delay the next Challenge till Monday, August 16th, so everyone may participate in this next Reward/Immunity Challenge?
( 2 ) If we delay till August 16th, do you foresee any problems with attending the next five Challenges regularly on the next five Mondays/Thursdays [August 16th, 19th, 23rd, 26th, & 30th] at 8:00 PM EST until Monday, August 30th? [Keep in mind too, that even if you are voted out as early as in the next round, you STILL need to follow the game, as you will be one of our Jury members.]
Let me know, Survivors. And I will post TC Results as soon as I get these last missed votes. Thanks.
