Tatianna:  The tribe chat is usually relatively quiet. Are there a lot more conversations going on in private, or are you guys just not a chatty bunch? Are people still very concerned about the way relationships can come across in this game?

In my opinion, I believe there's a fear of standing out and how people may interpret your interactions with others. Perhaps they feel like people are going to assume that they're in cahoots with a person when they're just being friendly.

That sort of "walking on eggshells" idea may be present in their minds, so it's not strange to see a lack of communication in the public setting.
