'''For Everyone: Brittany decided to use her Fast Forward, therefore she's skipping tonight's Tribal Council. How does it affect this vote?'''


 * I think she thought she'd be a target and so she thought her skipping tribal could affect the vote. But actually other plans came up and so I don't think she would've received any votes anyway. Nevertheless, I'm always pleased to see other people use up their special powers. <3

'''Alex:Congratulations on winning another individual immunity in a row! Are you afraid that other tribemates might start to view you as a challenge threat?'''


 * Start? I'm pretty sure this happened around the time I completed the puzzle in 12 minutes back in episode 3. Granted Kostas beat me in that one with 8 minutes, but my point is it's been long established in this game that I'm a challenge threat.


 * In fairness, I know some people are holding back and letting me be the threat so that they aren't pegged as such a threat themselves. Some people could've beaten me in immunity if they really really wanted to.


 * For awhile I was afraid of being a challenge threat, but now it's reached the point where I know people will view this as me not playing the social game at all and thus they'll be unwilling to vote for me to win at the end. For that reason I'm coming to the conclusion lately that it's likely people will let me get to the Final Three or Two anyway even if I lose one or two challenges. Because they'll know they can win more jury votes than me. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm okay with 2nd/3rd place, but it's certainly better than 8th.


 * I would apologize to the viewers for making these immunity challenge results boring so far, but actually there is an interesting thing that would happen in this game if I manage to get to the finals via winning all the immunities. What is that? It's that viewers will get to witness everyone else play in the near-equivalent of an ORG with no immunity challenges -- no chance of personal safety. They all have to rely on their social game (and semi-random item finding) even more. Idk... it's interesting to me anyway.
