Day 17 [Tribal Council #7- Punto Tombo Tribe] Sandros: Punto Tombo welcome to tribal council. As always I'd like to start off this council with a few questions. Ray, how does it feel to be immune? I am sure you are not worried being that you can't get voted out, but if not you who should be worried? Ray: It feels outstanding to have won this immunity challenge and thus being immune for this vote. I think of all the people in the tribe, Joel probably should be concerned the most about the vote. He has been causing problems in the game and along with that he came in last at the immunity challenge so it could very well be his night. Sandros: Megan, gimme a little insight on what you've done the past couple of days to ensure that you'll make the jury...? Megan: I've been talking to the rest of the castaways a lot more to get their opinions on who they like/ don't like. Sandros: Travis, how are the relationships between each other going? You been out here pushing 20 days, something has got to be going down? Travis: well, for some reason Joel wanted to screw everything up between everyone in this new merged tribe, and I think he did just that. He was playing to mess with people, and now no one feels safe, and no one trusts anyone. I personally think Joel should've never played this game if he was just here to mess things up for everyone. I still feel the same towards everyone that i have felt, but I'm pretty sure those people don't feel the same towards me. Oh well, this is Survivor, you gotta keep pushing on. Sandros: Joel, in the challenge you had by far the most weight, are you worried it could be you tonight because of that? Joel: I�m not worried. Everyone else should be, very worried at that. Sandros: Shuri, who do you find to be least tolerable when it comes to personality? Shuri: Joel has a personality of a devil and Landon's personality is kind of lackluster, maybe because we don't speak as much, I'm not sure. As for everyone else - including Eloy - is really nice and fun to be around and talk to. This vote is easy; other votes are not going to be as easy. Sandros: Joey, have old tribal lines diffused at this point? Why or why not? Joey: To be honest, I'm not really sure. Last vote, Adam received votes from both tribes. I mean we've only been together for one tribal council so it's hard to determine if tribal lines have been diffused or not. Sandros: Landon, what is your vote based on this time? Are you feeling vulnerable? Landon: I�m gonna be going with the majority of the tribe...yes I do I mean I did have the second highest of pounds so no I don�t feel 100 percent safe... Sandros: Sebastian, how have things around camp been since Adam was voted out of Patagonia? Has anything changed, stayed the same? Sebastian: Things have been shaken up a little, but not really that much. Sandros: Are you upset about the close immunity loss? And, what is your vote based on at this point in the game, right at the cusp of the jury? Kimber: Of course I would have liked to win the immunity necklace, but it's ok. There will be more of them for me to win in the future hopefully. As for how Im voting at this stage in the game...strictly on whom I want on the jury, and who I don't. The person I am voting tonight sure as hell deserves it, but secondly I do not want them to stick around for the long haul of the game. Sandros: Alright - thank you everyone for you responses. Once the votes are read the decision is final, the person voted out will be asked to leave Patagonia immediately. I'll read the votes. There are 9 votes tonight so 5 votes will be a majority. I�ll read the votes�. 1st vote� Joel 2nd vote� Kimber 3rd vote� Joel 4th vote� Joel That�s 3 for Joel, 1 for Kimber. 5th vote� Joel 6th vote� 7th person voted out of iSurv1vor2: Patagonia� Sandros: Joel! I'm sorry buddy, but by a vote of 8-1. THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN! You need to bring me a torch. Joel, you were a schemer, a clever strategist, and you are a good friend of mine. I'm sad to see you go and want to thank you for playing the game here in Patagonia. If you would Joel, please send me your finals words to strykuptheband@aol.com - reflect on your time, and role in this game. Comment on the outcome, the beginning of it all, your tribe mates, your strategy, where you went wrong, and how do you think the rest of the game will play out. Look forward to talking with you man. As for Punto Tombo...you can head back to camp. Day 18 awaits you as well as you next treEmail. Also, there is 1 more exile, and then Torres Exile will be no more. Soon we shall find out if anyone has found the idol. I'll chat with you guys soon. [Joel�s Final Words] Big fucking deal. I knew this was coming so it is not a shock to me. I played the best game I could. It makes me sick that I could have jeopardized my true friendship with Eloy; I hope he can forgive me. Good luck to everyone! [Joel�s Reason] Because Kimber is a down right bitch. [Sebastian�s Reason] Sorry nothing personal Joel, just going with what I've heard around camp! [Shuri�s Reason] They day of reckoning has come Joel. This terrorist bitch is thrilled to be voting for you. [Joey�s Reason] You have given me no choice Joel. Every single person is voting for you. I don't have the votes to keep you in this game. I'm actually pretty sure you will be voted out 9-1. Don't think I am betraying you, because I promise I didn't plan on betraying you. I totally believe you that Travis was conspiring against me, but there is nothing I can do at this point. I have to go with the majority in order to not stick out as a sore thumb. With that said, I'm so disappointed in your behavior towards Shuri. You called her a "terrorist bitch" Joel. That is just so vile and uncalled for, and I know you�re not a bad person, but those words are just ugly. I hope you don't hate me, but I think this is the best and only decision I can make at this point in time. Shuri is a really sweet girl, and didn't deserve those words. I'm sorry. [Ray�s Reason] Tonight I'm voting for Joel, you stirring up to much drama and controversy in the game. I'm really sick and tired of it and so is everyone else, with you gone this should lighten the mood in the game and make the game much funnier. [Kimber�s Reason] Joel is the scummiest person out here. He�s shady and I can�t trust him. The sooner he is gone, the better it is for me. Maybe Megan will come running to Shuri and I as soon as you are gone. Hopefully it will all work out. [Megan�s Reason] He's been real sketchy lately and making pacts with everybody [Landon�s Reason] Joel Is has gotten on my nerves in this game giving me an ultimatum and such and thinks he rules games when in them...I just think he�s retarded and I�m not feeling one bit sad about what�s about to happen to him. [Travis� Reason] I�m voting you Joel. You�ve put a really negative spin on this whole game, making deal here and there, calling people names, and threatening people. Who plays like that honestly? Peace out you asshole.
