Merge? Merge? What Merge?

[Mark Lamutt]

Even though this potentially makes my life difficult for the next few weeks, I LOVED the merge/no merge twist that got thrown in last night! Talk about a total shift in strategy!

So, how are we going to play this? Right now I'm leaning towards doing 5 polls a week, with both tribe and individual reward and immunity polls and then using the version that applies.

But, I'm certainly open to other suggestions. Please post any that you have here. I'd like to get next week's polls online later today, or tomorrow at the latest.

Regardless of how we do it, the point values will still be doubled until the end - reward & immunity at 2 points each and survivor at 4 points.

Loved the look on everyone's faces when Jeff Probst said "what merger?" I thought Shii-Ann (sp?) was going to pass out. Definitely keeping viewers on their toes.

I like the 5 polls idea. I definitely voted differently with the assumption of a merge occuring than I would have if the tribes were to stay seperate.

Just make it a combined individual/tribe name poll.... i.e. "Person Name (Tribe Name)". That way, we still vote on the in-duh-vidual, but if it's still a tribe, it counts as a vote for the tribe.

That's a pretty good idea, Z'Loth. BTW, you're avatar is terrible! :D

I agree. On one hand I felt bad for Shi Ann and on the other I was yelling at her the whole time to keep her hand close! she talked WAY TOO MUCH totally sunk her. However, since I despise the Sook Jai team it was great to see them go down to 4. I hope the merge takes place tonight even tho i have picked a Chewie Gang (my name) member to be voted off. If the merge happens so long Sook Jai!!!! bozo's.
