Aras 11:26 pm
(11:26:30 PM): though I feel like it's almost 50/50 with Americans/Canadians lol
alg bubble 11:26 pm

Aras 11:27 pm
(11:27:25 PM): oh wowza
(11:28:02 PM): well nice job so far! i feel like the format of this series makes it slightly tough for newcomers
alg bubble 11:28 pm
(11:28:09 PM): yeah
(11:28:12 PM): I'm still a bit confused LOL
(11:28:15 PM): have you played the series before?

alg bubble 11:31 pm
(11:31:13 PM): she is, had no beef with her
(11:31:24 PM): one of my best friends on our tribe was just voted off
(11:31:35 PM): it was hard because we had won those two challenges without voting anyone out so we all got pretty comfortable
(11:31:43 PM): and then the minute we had to vote someone off there was some major disagreement and indecision lol
Aras 11:31 pm
(11:31:53 PM): was the vote all scattered?
alg bubble 11:32 pm
(11:32:53 PM): you could say that, yeah
(11:32:58 PM): let's just say i was the only one who voted the person i voted LOL
(11:33:06 PM): sorry if i'm being a little forward with you, i typically say more than i should
(11:33:09 PM): gets me in trouble a lot

(11:35:36 PM): talk-before-you-think
(11:35:46 PM): but i'm okay with that, i'm proud of myself for making it this far already so any further is just a bonus lol

(12:24:07 AM): we'll see though
alg bubble 12:24 am
(12:24:10 AM): really?
(12:24:14 AM): i thought it'd be like a standard survivor game
Aras 12:24 am
(12:24:15 AM): yahh
(12:24:21 AM): it's a fast moving series
(12:24:31 AM): usually it's only 1 per round once you get to like 10
alg bubble 12:24 am
(12:24:48 AM): oo
Aras 12:26 am
(12:26:00 AM): yah, it's good and bad i suppose
(12:26:09 AM): it's always weird when it's more than one tc though
(12:26:29 AM): like, knowing that you have another vote in 24 hours
alg bubble 12:26 am
(12:26:58 AM): yeah
(12:26:59 AM): real weird
