Well, hello Pachamama! You're looking so fresh!

The game has taken some thrilling twists and turns in the past couple days: Aaron was blindsided, Frosti melted, Deshawn and Jean-Robert emerged as tribe Ambassadors, and Abraham and Xander won immunity. But the best news is that you've made it to the merge!

Let's dive into the questions.

1.       Are you planning to stick with some or all of your OG tribe? Who do you hope sticks around?

2.       Or, now that the tribes have merged, are you considering a change in allegiance? Are you concerned that delaying your decision could result in being betrayed first?

3.       What is your perspective on the Xander screenshot situation? Has it influenced your inclination to align yourself with him, either positively or negatively?

4.       Abraham and Xander won the aMazing Race challenge. What are your thoughts about that? Were you hoping to vote either of them off?

5.       What do you want to tell your fans that we haven’t asked about yet?

We also have bonus questions from the lurkers!

Lurker Michael asks, “With the merge, how do you plan on using your new connections to your advantage?”

Aurora wants to know, “Do you think there will be a Pagonging?”

From John, “You will no longer be able to rely on tribal immunity, how do you plan to win the game?”

1. I think for the time being, the best thing for me to do is to stay Ancha strong, then rely on my social connections and alliance of 4 (Abe, Xander, Deshawn)  to catapult me to the very end. Idk everyone seems nice enough, im not getting much from Jaime, and Heather I think was really hamming up the fact she didnt throw my name out so that just something sketchy.

2. I don't feel the need to betray just yet, I think these first two votes should go Kallpa and then we can make a move at 9 to go for something big.

3. that shit was funny af, besides him losing his vote, but nah that hasn't changed my want to align with Xander, I think im pretty much him and Abes #1s so thats a good position to find myself in.

4. Happy my boys won, if it wasn't me I would want it to be them, hopefully that doesn't shift the target onto me. Abe is really showing his colors as a challenge threat which im fine with, keeps his name on the block ahead of mine.

5. I don't really know, im happy I made merge and I think there's a lot more to come from me in the next couple of votes.

Bonus Qs:

Connections=Trust=Votes=Furthering your own game=winning

I wouldn't be 100% shocked to see a paging, but maybe well mix in an Ancha vote or two to keep things fresh for the viewers at home.

I think my strategic alliance I have right now will propel me further and then my social connections with a wide variety of players ensures that there's always a possibility someone has my back without me even knowing it.

In your ideal world, who would you look at targeting at 9 when you're looking to turn on Ancha? What members of Kallpa would you consider using to make that move with you?

Whisper to Xander:

WHISPER: ON

Hey Xander can you see this whisper??

My personal vendetta against Heather has been stated time and time again for the record, but honestly it might be Evvie's time at 9... I know she's a talker and her linking up with Shan and the remaining Kallpa worries me. In terms of Kallpa, I think James gotta go first, ive seen the way she talks to people and after we made the decision that it was her last night, a few people seemed like they were willing to reneg and go to bat for her, which isn't something I like considering we've known her for less than a day...if we let her get any more of a foothold there could be some major trouble brewing...after Jaime I think its Leslie for the same reasons, and I worry about an all girls alliance (real girls not avatar girls, im a guy mind blowing I know) and I don't think JR or Erik have the social chops and prowess that the girls have, now if JR goes on an immunity run that would be a different story and that could pose problems later on.


But thats a decision to be made down the line, gotta get there first right?
