Cate's Interview #2

[Cate Blanchett]

Hello Gillian. Hope things are working out for you.

I have a couple of questions that I really hope you'd be able to answer for this interview.



1. Do you think you could pinpoint the defeat of your last immunity challenge on one person?

2. Is there any further development in terms of alliance?

3. What was the main reason for your vote against Mary?

4. Has there been a shift in tribe dynamics with this defeat?

5. What is your opinion on Crystal submitting a higher time for her puzzle than the penalty?



Thank you, I appreciate that you are taking the time to answer my questions.

[Gillian Larson]

1. Do you think you could pinpoint the defeat of your last immunity challenge on one person?
I really can't. Lantwan had us beat on both aspects of the challenge, and since this challenge was so close, it's really hard to tell who made the difference for us.

2. Is there any further development in terms of alliance?
I myself am still, as always, aligned with Chet with a F2 deal set in stone. There is also, as far as I'm aware, a F4 alliance of myself, Chet, Sarah, and Joel. Even still though.... that's not majority. For all I know, there might very well be a counter-alliance of the others who are maybe aware that there's this alliance I've got. At the same time.... maybe Sarah and/or Joel are part of that majority alliance that might be in play, and are just pulling the wool over Chet and my eyes.

3. What was the main reason for your vote against Mary?
My main reason for voting Mary was actually threefold: Sarah came up to me and said she's hearing Mary a lot from others and I've barely seen activity from Mary ("Mary who?" as someone used in their parchment which was GENIUS!). Also, she's slit my throat (or rather, unsuccessfully ) a couple times in the past in other ORGs, so I had no problem voting for her. So a lot of main reasons why I voted for her.

4. Has there been a shift in tribe dynamics with this defeat?
In all honesty, I don't think so. It wasn't some massive defeat where we were just demolished by Lantwan, and it was also our first loss. Now, if either of those two things do happen (massive defeat or multiple losses) then the tribe dynamic might shift, but as of yet, nothing--as far as I'm aware--has shifted yet.

5. What is your opinion on Crystal submitting a higher time for her puzzle than the penalty?
My response after seeing that was "lolwut?" First of all, that puzzle was not difficult at all, so I don't see why it'd take you that long to finish it. Second.... are you TRYING to hurt your tribe's chances? If you know what the penalty time is (which she should've, if she was paying attention), you should at least try to beat THAT time. But seriously, I did lol very hard when I saw that her time was.... what was it 8:09?
