Hola, Castaway! Update us on your thoughts, por favor!

1 - You got through your first challenge as a tribe. After seeing the results, how do you feel you and your tribe will be doing performance-wise in future challenges? Do the other tribes worry you?

2 - Since you had a lot of downtimes this past weekend and time to start building relationships, how would you rank your tribemates from most to least trusted?

3 - With the first idol clue being available are you gonna be one of the castaways spending night and day to find it or are you gonna pass on it this round? If you did find the idol would you tell anyone or keep it a secret?

STRANDEDCOIN OPPORTUNITY

Do you think you know your tribemates well enough yet to see behind the curtain of their alias? Take a guess anyways!

Before the immunity challenge results are posted tomorrow night (shortly after 7:00c/8:00e), you may do the following to earn additional coins.

1. Guess at your tribemates' identities - you will get 1 coin for each correct guess.
2. Guess at the identity of the new player among you (you do not have to choose a tribemate). If you are correct, you will get 3 coins.

Careful, because if a fellow tribemate guesses YOU correctly, you will lose 1 coin for each correct identification against you.

All coins will be distributed for this activity by 12:00AMc/1:00AMe tomorrow night. If you lose coins, you will not be told who has identified you. If you gain coins, you will not be told who you have identified. If you do not receive any coins...you may draw your own conclusions. This activity is optional, but the due date is firm.

Good luck mates!

Just so I can be clear on the rules, is it possible for me to simply guess that every single contestant is, say, MistressTara and then pick up a coin by default if they're on my tribe?

Similarly, I assume I'm only allowed to guess one person for the new player each round?

[Christer Falck]

Yes you can guess the same stranded identity for everyone.

And only one guess for newbie per round.

[Nova]

In that case, I will guess Evel Dave for every single member of my tribe, and guess that Sharn is the newbie.

1 - You got through your first challenge as a tribe. After seeing the results, how do you feel you and your tribe will be doing performance-wise in future challenges? Do the other tribes worry you?

I was actually quite shocked that we lost this challenge. We all seemed fairly confident, and I thought we'd have it in the bag for sure. Placing fourth out of four is embarrassing and kind of humbling. I feel like this loss will probably cause other tribes to view us negatively, and that could really hurt us in a swap situation. Definitely shows that you can't take anything for granted, and I really hope that we can turn this around in the future. I don't think that any other tribe specifically worries me right now, but I definitely want to keep an eye out for anybody that seems to be a standout. If I seem like someone who's doing well on a struggling tribe, that might help me weasel my way in on a swap tribe, or it could paint a target on my back. It's hard to say.

2 - Since you had a lot of downtimes this past weekend and time to start building relationships, how would you rank your tribemates from most to least trusted?

Sharn is the person I currently trust most. She's got a good head on her shoulders, and she seems like someone who'll be good to work with moving forward. She's good, but she's not necessarily going to blow me out of the water and make me look inferior.
Sarah is the person I trust second-most, she's a lot of fun to talk to and someone I just vibe well with. I think she's probably kind of sneaky, but it's hard to tell just yet.
Jericho is someone I want to trust more than I do, he offered me final two on day one but hasn't provided a concrete idea of how to get there or who else he wants to work with. I'm going to humor him for the time being but I'm not committed to him by any stretch of the imagination.
Casey just doesn't give me enough to work with, I don't distrust her, but she's not someone I see myself working with strategically in the long run.
Locky, I can't even trust him to show up, so I have zero trust in him overall.

3 - With the first idol clue being available are you gonna be one of the castaways spending night and day to find it or are you gonna pass on it this round? If you did find the idol would you tell anyone or keep it a secret?

Idol finding obviously isn't going to be a worry of mine this round, but whenever I do get a clue, I'm certainly going to be out there looking. I know that it'll never be something simple that we can find on the first couple of goes, but I'm going to try and put my producer cap on, and figure out where the clues might extrapolate to.
