Congrats on making the merge, Ted.

How does it feel to be reunited with your old tribe? Does anything change for you?

What's the plan now?

Any feelings about last tribal council?

Things are definitely changing. I have no idea what I'm going to do next. I'm pretty sure no matter what I do, I'll get screwed by the jury. I'm entertaining the thought of getting rid of Rob, though.

I'm posting my idol here for reference:

Two votes at last TC, Jeanne is logical, who was the other?
Does it bother you? How do you avoid future votes?

Did you expect votes & did you consider playing the idol last night?

And well done on making merge of course!

I'm fairly certain it was Shawna that voted for me. She told me to vote for Daniel, Daniel told me to vote for Jeanne. Obviously, Shawna lied. At the moment, I'm fairly certain I'll avoid the vote this round, as I'm a bridge between the two tribes at this point. I was definitely expecting votes last round, I was very close to playing my idol, and at one point, I nearly did. It was a very tense moment for me, and I'm glad I survived.

You and Rob have had the most interactions with the entire cast at this point, so hopefully, you know them all pretty well right now.
Could you, at some point over the weekend, list or rank each individual player and give us a few words on each? Personality, how much you trust them, threat level, alliance ties, preferred boot order is this is truly the Ted show, that sort of thing?

Alright, here's my ranking of the players in the merged tribe:

9. Shawna - She tried to vote me out, and she very nearly made it to 8th, but then I decided to put her here. I don't trust her, and I see no need to. I'm thinking about maybe even voting her out next, but I don't know if that would help anyway.
8. Daniel - He sucks, and he'd probably be an easy person to vote out. I've certainly thought about flipping over to Helios to vote out one of either Shawna or Daniel, but I have nothing more to say about them.
7. Erin - She just seems very much like a background person, and I don't have much to say about her right now. The Asteria tribe thinks she has the idol, and I find that very interesting. She could become a target for a potential blindside, but I'm just not sure at this point what is going to happen to her.
6. Brian - I don't know what to think about Brian. I feel like we should have some kind of bond over being the last two Naked Jibe Rats standing, but I'm not sure what to think. I know he was thinking about voting me out, but I don't know if I should believe that maybe he would have saved me. I have no idea what to think.
5. Joanna - This is where things start to get tricky. I like Joanna, and I feel like we do have a bond, but that bond dissipated over the last few days at Asteria, so I don't know what to think about her. We could be close, but at the end of the day, things could be turned on their head.
4. Penny - I like Penny, even though Asteria is planning on voting her out. I might make a big move, playing the idol on her, etc. It could be quite funny. I would like to see that happen.
3. Rob - I feel like Rob and I have a lot in common, and I would put him higher if only I could trust him. We made a deal to look out for each other, but now it's hard to know what he's thinking. We didn't really have the proper time to bond by the time he got back to Asteria. I have no clue what to think about Rob.
2. Helen - I like Helen the most out of the Helios tribe. Helen is the person I most wanted to speak to after the merge, and I'm glad that I managed to talk to her. She's a great person, and the only person I've felt a bond with. If Asteria targeted her, I would go crazy.
1. Christy - I love Christy. I feel mistrust between her and I, but at the end of the day, she was the person who talked to me the most on Asteria and she was the one who I felt like I could bond with the most. I hope that the two of us can work together in the future.

If this game isn't 'The Ted Show' right now, it will be soon. I've come to realise that I don't have a chance to win, because I'd almost certainly need an immunity run which would be impossible because of my availability in finals week. I'm just going to have fun for the rest of the game and mess with people, maybe win a few challenges here and there.

Plan A: Win immunity, flip to Helios, keep idol.
Plan B: Play idol on Penny, or whoever is the target on Helios, vote with Helios and get rid of an Asteria.

Plan A will also work if someone on Helios wins immunity.

My target is Shawna because she sucks and she shouldn't have turned on me.

In the event you don't win immunity tomorrow, how do you plan to pull off plan B?
