Nicely done Ex! I liked this immunity challenge. It's a pity we didn't get immunity. I guess I best have my immunity Kelly Clarkson ready just in case!

Around the bonfire, the N'hura tribe begin to dance a celebratory dance. The beat of the tom-tom sets the pace. The beat quickens and the dance builds. Wildly the dancers move around the fire. Limbs flail, hands claw, teeth flash.
This is not a dance for the faint of heart. And woe to any who try to interrupt.

All right, St'balla, head on up to the Tribal Council area.
Well, this tribe started out strong, dominating in the first couple of Challenges, but apparently that fueled N'hura's fire to step up their game. I'd like to talk a little about the team dynamic here in St'balla.
Davey, I've heard from some of your tribe-mates that you are emerging as a leader. Fair assessment? And what does that mean to the rest of the tribe? Will that strength eventually be seen as a threat?
Novelty, you've shown incredible cunning... and had the opportunity to search for an immunity idol out on Exile. That must put a huge target on your back. Do you feel confident in your position on the team?
Gamara, you're the newcomer around here. You're still learning the ropes, but have adapted very quickly. Is there any sense of being a outsider that you've had to overcome?
Lard Lad and Sketch, you two are long time buddies. Does this build a sense of resentment among the rest of the tribe that you "have each other's back"? We've seen both of you entirely miss challenges... does that worry you at all that performance might be judged?
And Floating Foxlike Creature... I've heard that you are a bit of an unknown factor... that the rest of the team feels they don't really know you... or that perhaps they do!. Any worries about the inherent bias against alt ID's?
With those questions in mind, I am going to ask each of you to cast a vote over the next day, I do want to give each of you the opportunity to post one statement. It may be as long or as short as you like, and make take whatever form you like. You may make your own case for staying... or make a case for another leaving... or both... or neither... but take the next six posts,
Lard Lad, Davey, Sketch, FFC, Gamara, and Nov
to speak your mind.
Then, when you're ready, cast your secret vote via PM to Exnihil to say who the next person will be to leave... Survivor. You may not vote for yourself. If you have a hidden Immunity idol, and would like to play it, please indicate that along with your vote.

Well, Jeff, I think my team knows I'm a team player, and if my team thinks I should take one for the team, then perhaps Kelly Clarkson will sing - it ain't over until the cute chick sings!

I had posted both on the board early on (before the start of the actual game in fact) that I would be away with, at best, limited internet access from yesterday through Wednesday, and such I am - and thus missed the last challenge. Sorry guys! regarding being an outsider, yes there are ropes to learn, but with the support of my tem mates thus far I don't think it overwhelmingly difficult - except for learning exactly who is who - as mentioned, alt IDs can make it tricky. but I am participating as best I can and hope to continue to support my team! By the way, do you have ANY IDEA how hard it is to type when your hands (such as they are) are bigger than not only the keyboard or the PC but in fact the ROOM IT IS IN?!?!? No wonder my responses are slow!

St'balla is made up of really great team players; clever, knowledgeable, communicative. For each challenge, the pm's are flyin'!
Marzal's interdimensional/chronal instability messes with your head. We never know who's going to be present when the challenges occur. Personally, that vexes me.
So, our eliminations cannot be made based on attendance, but on overall performance.
Proty's summary of us above is pretty close to the mark.

Gang, I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful in the last immunity challenge. As Sketch said, the interdimensional/chronal instability plays a factor. However, I'm confident this is something I can overcome in future challenges, so that I'll be as big a contributor as I was in the first few.
Let's vote to keep the tribe strong! (and don't forget, I've got plenty of Cheez-Its left to share )

Jeff Proty, first I'd like to address your comment about "alt IDs." I think it might give the erroneous impression that there are people in this game who are using multiple or "fake" screen names for whatever reason. As far as I'm aware, there are 11 contestants in this game currently, and 11 individuals who are behind those contestant IDs -- no more, no less. I don't think whether a person's screen name is serious or silly should have any bearing on the game. Ultimately, I think each tribe member has to be judged on what they bring to the game, above all else.
And, on that note, I wanted to echo what my teammates have said -- this is a great tribe, and we've worked hard on the challenges. I agree with Sketch Lad that we cannot base the elimination on attendance -- so the vote should take into consideration overall performance in the game so far.

Consider that protoplasmic blob reprimanded. It shan't come up again.
Just an update, Survivors, we've received three votes, and three remain. We'll check in again after "The Amazing Race". (Ooooh, now that gives me an idea for next season!)
