Everyone: How does it feel to make merge?

Ecstatic was one word for it. I don't think anyone of us (or maybe it was just me :<!) expected a merge at 12 at all so it was like... shocking in an exciting optimistic way. But ya overall it felt good.

Mai: You went home the 1st merge tribal during Sichuan in a revote, concerned it may happen again?

Yeah if I'm being completely honest that sinking feeling is still there but I'm trying my best not to let it get to me that much. Before this season I used to have that pressure of not becoming the first boot, making the merge, the jury, beating my Sichuan placement, etc, but I'm glad it's all gone now. I still haven't completed all that yet but what I have learned so far from this season is that being paranoid all the time won't help. What I have to do, however, is pay more attention to what's going on around me and not let it get inside my head.
