Final 6 or 7

[Richard Hatch]

So we've all of a sudden hit the real game and the first thing that happens is a controversial decision.

Whilst I agree that rl has to take precedence over games. I do have to ask how we know that Will has had anything actually occurring in his life that dispenses him from having to fulfil his part of the challenge. I don't know him and I'm very disturbed that he showed up a day or so after the challenge to tell us why he missed out. For all I know the snowstorm group could have put the hard word on him to show because they saw the tie. This is particularly annoying because I thought Rafe was going to be away and not put in a score, and I was going to take that on the chin, but he did (yay) - and now it's for naught.

Of course I can't say any of that publically, because then I'm the bastard.

Now I'm not sure there's any hope at all for the former Avalanche tribe given that the ss's have been handed a voting edge. Seems pretty clearcut. Rafe and I will effectively be fighting out between us to put together an immunity run if we have any chance to win.

[MapleBud]

so then ur vote is to not let will back in?

[Richard Hatch]

Yeah I'm sorry, I'm just a bad old untrustworthy man and suspect the worst of people. My vote would be against allowing him back in.

Just between you and me MapleBud I think this was made more of an issue by the fact that the immunity challenge was made a "voting" style one as well. Just bad timing I guess, but it does seem to hand them the tools to finish the game off. It was always going to bring the change in numbers to the fore of people's mind.

[Richard Hatch]

Well I don't make random statements. If I say something I'll stand by it - so I'm out.

Nothing against you MapleBud, I know you're trying to do the right thing, but I just feel this situation is dodgy and kinda pointless for us on Avalanche.

I hope I get to play another of your games cos I really loved Survivor vs BB.
