Hello YemaGrl1988. Thank you very much for your comments! I enjoyed reading your thoughts, and I'm glad you enjoyed your episodes! :)

I'd have to say I think this episode was more focused on the favorites in terms of long-term story since the tribe has got a lot of dynamics in it now. Airai does too with the whole Jason thing but there was more focused on the mystery vote in Malakal. And I think Terry and Aras are toast but whichever one survives the next vote they will probably make the merge.

Thanks. You're definitely right that there's some importance to the scenes at Malakal (ie. the mystery vote) with regards to certain characters. And you're right that there's some significance to what's going on at Airai too. I always build up to future stories, and usually there's connections that can be drawn to events that occur later in the story. Terry and Aras are definitely still in a vulnerable spot but one thing that they have to their advantage is being strong, and they will fight like hell for Immunity.

Mary's little part on doing the shelter (although Mikey said it I liked Mary the most in the scene)

Thanks. I'm glad you pointed this part out because I liked it too.

8.5/10. I don't know what I rated it last week but I think it was an 8.

Thank you very much for the 8.5. That's one of the highest for this episode so far. I appreciate it! :)

Thanks for your predictions for Episode 3. We'll have to see how they turn out!

And thanks for filling out the Popularity Poll as well! :)

Sherea - 9 (Sadly, she was a bit boring this episode)

Yes, I agree with you, and it is sad for me as well. There simply is not a lot going on that directly involves her right now, since Dave is gone. I'm going to have to call it the "Edgardo syndrome" - a popular and entertaining character that becomes a little bit boring and less popular the second time around. Hopefully she can overcome it.

This isn't so much Edgic Ratings but it has something to do with it. I think Sherea is toast because Chet was voted off. (He was the one who commented on Sherea correct?)

Yes, Chet was the one who said Sherea was his Favorite. Some of the "pairs" do play a role in the season, while others do not because they never interact or end up on a tribe together.

Thanks again for your comments. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the season! Have a great night! :)

Working on island sun's post now and I'll also reply to your PM...

*Note I changed my edgic rating for Eliza*

I looked back at some of her confessionals, and decided CP was more appropriate.

Hi island sun. I replied to your PM. Thanks a lot for your comments on the episode. As always, I enjoyed reading them, and I especially like all of your detailed predictions. Very interesting! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts:

I think it was good overall. It was nice to get to see more of the people we didn't see as much of in the premiere.

Thanks. I promise that everyone will finally be shown (fairly) significantly by Episode 4. There's just a few people that are very involved in the initial story and a few that aren't involved at all.

Silly Erik

Spoiler [+]

But not nearly as "silly" as he appeared in tonight's episode. At least he comes off as sortof intelligent in my version. And next week he makes some big strategic moves, which he never really did in the show.

7.5 (It was better than the premiere. But remember, 7 is NOT bad, and I didn't want you to think of it as such. I just see 8-10 as extremely good, and these past two episodes just haven't reached that superior level. Still very good episodes, though.)

Thanks for the 7.5. I definitely know that 7 is NOT a bad rating at all, and I don't think of it as bad. It's strange because I keep a chart ranking all the episodes (I'm actually going to post it later tonight now that I think of it) and Episodes 1 and 2 are always near the bottom, so I guess it shouldn't be unexpected. If the pattern continues, #3 will be closer to the top.

Thanks for your Episode 3 predictions! :)

Excellent job on your Edgic ratings. Once again, they are very close to what I intended the ratings to be, which is a good thing.

Ami - MORN3 (I saw her as kind of rude to Aras and Terry, laughing at their poor lying skills. Maybe the N was a little much, but I saw it in her.)

Yes, I also thought there was a *slight* negative tone for this, but I don't think it was quite enough to earn a full-fledged N.

Aras - MOR2 (Odd, for some reason I remember him more than Terry, although visibility suggests otherwise. He was borderline positive for me, but I don't think that's what you were going for.)

Aras, on the other hand, I thought would be MORN, but he probably won't be since only one or two people rated him like that so far. My intention wasn't positive for him in this episode.

Eliza - MOR5 (Really hard rating. I debated CP and OTT, so I'm going to settle on this. Not overly OTT, not overly CP. I don't know which you were actually going for. It reminded me of her in the real Vanuatu.)

Well, I think the fact that she reminds you of herself in real Vanuatu is a good thing. I kindof see what you mean about having some aspects of both OTT and CP though. I'll have to think about this one a little more.

Erik - MOR3 (Looks like we'll see a lot more of him next time. This was sort of setting up for his aim to take out Jason.)

Bingo!

Joel - CP4 (I like him. I'm glad he's not as negative as he was on the show. This is a great example how you really develop characters in a different way. Keep up the great work with Joel!)

Thanks. Yeah, he wasn't supposed to be negative this time, but some of his comments but have seemed a little harsh.

Kathy - MORP3 (I found her very enjoyable. I could see neutral, the positive may have just been me.)

I figured MOR neutral, but you're not the only person to give her positive so maybe there was more tone there than I thought.

Mary - MORP3 (Her voting confessional was nice. I think there was some P meant in that. I find Mary very intriguing, and I hope to see more of her in the future.)

Mary was meant to be MORP though. Good job! :)

Natalie - UTR1 (There's the Natalie we know. UTR1 in one episode means decent development in a future one, so I know there's more from her.)

Now this is interesting because last week, I got rid of her UTRN and this week I thought she would definitely be negative, and now I don't know if she will be again.

Terry - CPM3 (He tried, but Ami just laughed at him. I feel a little sorry for the guy, actually. I saw some N for being laughed at, but I saw more from Ami for laughing at him. I'm settling on a Mixed tone fore Terry.)

That's a good point to bring up about Ami. I could definitely see him being Mixed or Negative.

Winners (in order):
Tracy, Brooke, Aras, Joel
Eliminated:
Ruth Marie, Natalie, Ian
Very CLOSE to Elimination:
Alexis, Mikey, Earl

Thanks for posting this. Those lists look very good to me! I'll start keeping an official tally after next episode.

At Airai, it looks like Leader = Death. Jason stepped up this episode, and now he's a target. Joel is going to be a target by Malakal because Jason called him the leader. Tracy on the other hand, stepped down from the leadership role and is no longer a target (as far as we know). To me, this was an important step for her. She realized it was bad so she backed away. Jason is in big trouble, because he's walking right into the line of fire. If he doesn't go next from this tribe, it will either be a shock boot, or a boot we start hearing about that episode. I think Jason will go next, unless something totally new comes up.

Thanks for sharing all of these thoughts. These are the kind of posts that I really enjoy to read! You definitely bring up some great points here, and you certainly picked up on some important things that will undoubtedly be important in the story. I just can't say exactly what and how yet, but I like what you're thinking. I think things are really interesting on Airai right now, so I hope it continues to come across that way in the episodes.

At Malakal, Sherea's story is over. Dave is gone, so she has nothing else to be featured about. If she had something to say about other things, I think she'd be okay, but her central focus being around Dave hurts her. Eliza's chances went down a lot too. It looks like either she or Terry will go next. Aras will stay because he's catching fish. Plus, if a women's alliance is rising, then Terry is in a lot of trouble. As far as power rankings, Brooke is at the top of the list. She has Ami, Ruth, Sherea, Earl, Ian, and Eliza all on her side. Terry and Aras won't vote for her because they know they need her help to swing the vote to Eliza. Ultimately, I think she'll stick with Eliza since they bonded first. Brooke has everyone under her command. Her chances of winning are looking very good right now.

Another excellent commentary on the Malakal tribe. You seem to have a great understanding of what is going on there and how things could go down if Malakal loses. You will see the beginning of a women's alliance in episode 3, for sure, so Terry and Aras will have to continue fighting! Lots of great thoughts here! :)

I'm glad I have more time to respond to this now. I know you like reading our predictions, so I try to write something to let you know how your story's coming across. It's off to a great start, keep up the good work!

Yes, thanks for being so thorough with everything. I love reading those kinds of predictions, and I appreciate you taking the time to write up all of that stuff. Glad you're enjoying the start of the story, and I'm very excited for next week's episode because it should get A LOT better.

Thanks again for all of your detailed comments. It's great to have you as a reader. Have a great night! :)

Hello chad6. I hope your essay turned out well. Thank you very much for commenting on the episode. I enjoyed reading your thoughts, and you made a lot of great points! :)

I thought the episode was overall good. I like last weeks episode better but I usually enjoy premiers a lot anyways. I really enjoyed Jason until he told Airai what he told Eliza. I agree that his idea to tell Eliza disinformation and I think she believed him for the most part. The problem is that he told Airai what he said. If I were any of them, I would be mad to. I thought Jason actually had a really good edit until the end when he go so much negative SPV.
It was also interesting how much Sherea died down (I guess no Dave = no Sherea). I really hope she gets another storyline soon becuase I like her.
Jason and Eliza definitely stole the episode for the Fans and Faves respectively.

I always enjoy the premieres too, but I think there's just something special about them for me because when I look back, they don't end up being one of the better episodes of the season. You're exactly right - had Jason been smart about his plan, it might have been a good idea, but to tell his tribe was very stupid, especially when he didn't remember exactly what he said, so people can't even try to play along with his story because they can't be sure about it. His edit is filled with ups and downs.

Yes, Sherea dying down was one of my concerns with having Dave go first. Unfortunately, she's not directly involved in what's going on right now, which means I can't show her a lot.

Ami laughing at Terry.

And yet I thought that Terry did a pretty good job with what he said. I thought his points made sense, but I guess Ami and Brooke didn't buy it.

7 (just becuase the boot was so obvious)

Okay, understood. It could have been worse!

Thanks for your Episode 3 predictions. They're very interesting. Your assessment of Aras is pretty accurate too, I think. He gets more involved in the story soon though.

Thanks for filling out the Popularity Poll! I'll respond to a few of your comments:

Ami - 9 (loved her this episode)

Glad to see you liked her this time. Hopefully you felt she was more of herself this time and true to character.

Brooke - 6 (the boring yet intelligent winner?)

Intelligent, yes. Hopefully not TOO boring though, but I agree that she's not as entertaining as Eliza.

Earl - 2 (I can't remember him much)

Unfortunately he hasn't been very involved yet..

Ian - 5 (Don't really see him much)

See Earl.

Jason - 8 (I actually like his underdog/outsider/thinks hes a mastermind edit

Oh, this is nice to see. I thought everyone might hate him (partially because of how he was on the real show). But I'm glad that there is a clear distinction between the real Jason and Jason in my story.

Ruth Marie - 5 (She talked!)

I can promise a lot more of her in Episode 3.

Excellent job on your Edgic ratings. I'm very impressed with how accurate they are. Just about every one of them is exactly what I was going for, or very close to it. You must have read the episode very thoroughly! :)

Winner pick: Brooke

Seems like a good pick so far.

Thanks again for your comments. I enjoyed reading them! Hope you have a great night, and enjoy the rest of the story! :)

COMMENTS & QUESTIONS

(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.

Great, especially the favourites scenes. Excellent, very interesting. Was actually kind of hoping they'd lose the IC to see what would happen.

(B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode?

Hard to pick between all the Malakal Scenes + Exile Island.

(C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest)

Like I said, Ami will get the girls together, but Sherea will want Eliza out (the "I think I knew who made the vote" + Eliza's confessional might be forshadowing). Eliza will go if the Faves lose, but since you said Eliza gets a cool down, I think the faves just win the IC.

Those ratings for the episodes are interesting. I had no idea everyone liked China a lot more then All-Star: Belize. I mean, I liked China better as a whole, but I had no idea 6 episodes got better ratings then the best rated All-Stars episode.

Did people actually play this game, or is it just something that you write? Either way, it's really good.

Hi, Thailandsurvivor. Thanks for the question. No, people did not play in this game. It is a fanfic, so I write everything myself and it is not based on an online game. I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I hope you continue to read! Hope you have a great day! :)

Hello chapera rocks. Thank you very much for your comments. As always, I enjoyed reading them! :)

Great, especially the favourites scenes. Excellent, very interesting. Was actually kind of hoping they'd lose the IC to see what would happen.

Thanks. I see what you mean about hoping that the Favorites would lose. That would definitely be an interesting Tribal Council...

Hard to pick between all the Malakal Scenes + Exile Island.

Good to hear. I really like the idea of having two people on Exile Island for this story. It allows me to have a lot more variety in the types of scenes out there.

9.3

Thank you very much for such a high score! You've helped raise the average up almost to an 8 again. :)

Thanks for your Episode 3 predictions! :)

Like I said, Ami will get the girls together, but Sherea will want Eliza out (the "I think I knew who made the vote" + Eliza's confessional might be forshadowing). Eliza will go if the Faves lose, but since you said Eliza gets a cool down, I think the faves just win the IC.

Yes, I think you were a little ahead with this. I believe you predicted the women's alliance for Episode 2. It actually probably did happen within the timeframe of Episode 2, but I just didn't have room for it in this episode.

Thanks for filling out the Popularity Poll! Great to see a mixture of high and low numbers! :)

And another excellent job on your Edgic ratings. Most of your ratings are either identical or very close to what I was going for again. Keep up the great work!

Losers:

Natalie, Ruth Marie, Jason (unless he gets redeemed soon)

Winners:

1. Brooke
2. Terry
3. Kathy
4. Eliza

Thanks. Very good lists.

Thanks again for your thoughts on the episode. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It's great to have you as a reader. Have a great day! :)

Those ratings for the episodes are interesting. I had no idea everyone liked China a lot more then All-Star: Belize. I mean, I liked China better as a whole, but I had no idea 6 episodes got better ratings then the best rated All-Stars episode.

Yes, after the finale, nearly everyone picked China as their favorite season (or as the best season, however it was worded). I thought it might just be since it was the most recent one, but I actually do think China was A LOT better than All-Stars, so I'm not really surprised at the numbers. I just hope that Micronesia has some episodes interspersing those 6 China ones at the top.

Since this is my seventh season, I was hoping for renewed interest like Pearl Islands did for the show, and I've already been impressed (and pleasantly surprised) by all the feedback and comments I've gotten for this season, so I hope that will come true. And Pearl Islands had some great episodes too, so I hope this season will also! :)

I forgot to say I liked the quote Brooke had when they were asking her who she thinks was the extra vote against Sherea. I think she said something like "I'm neutral on the whole thing (or issue)". This quote stuck out to me for some reason. I think it will represent Brooke's game play. I feel like she will play a very intelligent game one in where she doesn't piss anyone off but doesn't come of as a tag-a-long. She will be "nuetral" in every situation and thus not stick out as a threat.

Now that I think of it, it seems like I'm over analyzing this. Whatever, just thought I'd share my thought.

Thanks for sharing that great thought, chad6. It's very possible that you could be on the right track with that. Part of it was also so that she disguised her alliance with Eliza, so that way she didn't seem like she was automatically taking Eliza's side right away.

And on a side note, I must say that I'm so pleased with Episode 3 - I wish I could post it now but it's not quite done and I have to wait until Thursday anyway. But I'm really excited for this one! :)

1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL

(A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor?
I'm between Mary and Joel. But I believe it's a fan. They are getting more "screen time"

(A) Which castaway(s) will be voted off in Episode 3?
Terry

(B) Which two castaways will be sent to Exile Island? (One from each tribe)

(C) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 3?
Ami will fail with her women alliance again, unfortunately

3. POPULARITY POLL

(A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likeability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show.

Ami - 10 (she has the same past as the real Ami, right?)
Aras - 0
Brooke - 5
Chet - 0
Dave - 0
Earl - 0
Eliza - 0
Erik - 0
Ian - 7
Jason - 0

4. EDGIC POLL

Yeah, the only problem is trying to not rate them based off how they are perceived on the real show. I'm trying. Chet is the same as he was on the show, useless. And like the show, I love Tracy! Hopefully she'll make it far this time. ;)

Hello Brazil Luvs Ami. Thank you very much for your comments on the episode. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! :)

Good episode! I don't like Eliza in your fanfic and I liked her in Vanuatu and Micronesia.. I don't konw why she isn't working with Ami, since they have a story outside the game.

Thanks. Glad you thought it was a good episode! In the next episode, the women of Malakal do come together. Eliza and Ami have not been working against each other. It's just that Eliza wanted Dave to stay in the first episode and Ami wanted Dave to go. But Brooke and Ami both tried to help Eliza out by figuring out who cast the mystery vote, so it's not like they don't like each other or anything. Sorry that you haven't liked her character, but I hope you will soon! :)

The part that Terry try to save his own butt selling Aras to the girls

Oh, the line where he says "Maybe it was Aras." Yeah, I liked that too, but I think it was more to say that they haven't talked about it than to necessarily pin it on Aras. But that's definitely possible too.

Thanks for rating the episode a 7. Hopefully you'll like the next one even better! :)

Yes: why Eliza never tried to work with Ami?

Thanks for the question. They just ended up on opposite sides of the game due to Eliza and Ami wanting to vote out different people in Episode 1, but Ami tried to save Eliza this week with Brooke, and the women do try to work together in the next episode.

I'm between Mary and Joel. But I believe it's a fan. They are getting more "screen time"

Yeah, they definitely are getting a little more "screen time" which is interesting considering they're playing against the Favorites - I think it depends which tribe goes to Tribal Council too though

Thanks for your Episode 3 predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll. A lot of 0s though

- I hope you like some of the other characters better in the future. But I'm glad to see a 10 for Ami. :)

Great job on your Edgic ratings. Thanks a lot for posting them. You definitely seem to have a very good grasp on what my intended ratings were for the episode, and how the characters came across:

Chet - MORM3 - M because he was positive leaving his shoes and asking to be voted off, because he wnts to see a fan win. And N because he quitted

That's exactly what I was thinking in terms of his tone. Great job!

Thanks again for your comments. Hope you have a great day, and you continue to enjoy the story. Take care! :)

Yeah, the only problem is trying to not rate them based off how they are perceived on the real show. I'm trying. Chet is the same as he was on the show, useless. And like the show, I love Tracy! Hopefully she'll make it far this time. ;)

Yeah, I know it can be hard to do this sometimes, but hopefully within the next two episodes, all of my characters will be developed enough that you'll be able to have your own opinion about them. Mary is a good example of how this works: the first two weeks her popularity was in the low-mid 50s (probably due to low presence on the show and in my Ep 1) and now she got a MORP episode, and her popularity is almost 70. So sometimes those opinions can change, I think.
