Erinn gave Cat immunity to keep her from Cochran'ing due to the rocks.
Lisi pulled out her 4th Idol and made Yul immune. Brenda got sent home 3-(3)

Thats crazy. How many idols does Lisi want to find? icon_lol

Did they expect to go to rocks?

My question is, why would you willingly vote for Yul, and for that matter Brenda, knowing full well the two of them would be immune when it came to rock drawing.

One side did. The other knew the HII was coming out. The targets were chosen with different motivations.

Alright, so I have to use my Pennysense to try and work all this out. You'll probably laugh at me from hosts hut, but keep in mind I have no idea whats going on.

One would assume, they are split down tribal lines. So:

Seuua:
Lisi
Yul
Alina

Refugees:
Brenda
Cat
Erinn

Given that Lisi played the Idol on Yul, we assume those two are together. Given that Erinn gave Immunity to Cat, we assume those two are together. Given that 3 people voted Yul and 3 people voted Brenda, we assume those 2 are on opposite sides. Using that process of elimination we can determine that those are the 2 sides.

If one side knew the Idol was coming and one side didnt, we could assume that Lisi+Yul+Alina knew the Idol was coming, based on the level of shock from Brenda+Erinn+Cat. We can assume then that Brenda+Erinn+Cat voted Yul, expecting that they would go to rocks.

That means either A) Yul is the least dangerous of the Lisi+Yul+Alina trio, or B) They didnt think about making Yul immune from the rocks.

Keep in mind that you want to target the person "most likely to get Cochran'd"

Do you guys do a revote when you tie first up?

You have the opportunity to change your vote.

Ahh yeah. I was just asking cos I know we had the tie breaker last season but we didnt need to use it.

How do you do the rocks?

In Aus Stranded we do the first vote, then the re-vote, then if we're still tied we use Random.org to pick the 'Purple' rock and then let the players pick the rocks.

We've never had to use it.

Rocks <3 I love rocks as a tiebreaker. But this bargaining thing is amazing too.

You guys probably get a lot of hate by the players, but I just wanna comment on this:

Here's how it works.

It's a simple counting challenge. You must post one number starting with the number 1 every minute. You can only post one number per minute and it must be the correct number for that minute. You will count consecutively (1,2,3...) until you have either messed up or decide to quit. You can begin at any time and end at any time. If you mess up... you can start over. The only catch is that the challenge ends tomorrow at 7c/8e. So any counting has to be done before that time.

Good luck and the person who counts the highest wins...

I think thats great personally. Letting them start again if they accidentally mess up im a big fan of. So many games I see the "you have one shot and once you fuck up thats it you're gone" rule, so its refreshing to see a bit of leniency from you guys.

I say that Stranded is the best game out there. So kudos to you guys. icon_yes

Rocks are still there. You just have to give them one last chance to pussy out. For the drama! (And you really don't want to go to rocks, lol)
