Just a quick note before I go: I see someone has updated the Micronesia Fanfic Wikipedia site for Episode 9 already, and made sites for Fiji and All-Stars now
on there. I've seen a few different people contributing to these on the history page, so thank you so much to everyone for all of your hard work. Those
pages look amazing and extremely realistic! :)

COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Very nice, GF. A strong merge episode with a lot of development for my pick as the winner, Brooke, with a little bit from everyone. Edgically, I had a hard time giving out UTRs. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? I really liked how you made Aras into an almost Amazon's Roger type character, only to have him NOT be thwarted, with good guy Ian going in his place. Oh well. C'est la vie. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 9, I was very impressed. (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Mary & Alexis: Why wait so long to create a back up plan with Brooke and Sherea? Did Aras really have to tell you to do it? 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? Brooke. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 10? Alexis. Please end this girl's miserable existence. (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 10? I think the now threesome will continue to be underfire. Perhaps the tricky fans in Tracy and Mikey will switch it up? They sure have in the past. 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. Alexis - 1 Ami - 1 Aras - 4 Brooke - 6 Chet - 2 Dave - 5 Earl - 4 Eliza - 6 Erik - 7 Ian - 8 Jason - 8 Joel - 10 Kathy - 10 Mary - 6 Mikey - 7 Natalie - 3 Ruth Marie - 6 Sherea - 8 Terry - 1 Tracy - 9 4. EDGIC POLL Alexis: MOR3 (Did a lot of just strategy, so I could see CP, but it was low key enough to be MOR. And somehow avoided the negativity of the foursome alliance.) Aras: OTTN4 (I could see CP, but I think OTT fits him better, since he was an OTT mastermind this episode and EVERYONE was hating on him. It's close, though, CP is certaintly a choice.) Brooke: CP4 (Explained position in the game, what she did as her move, her views on jury.) Eliza: CP4 (Of course, Eliza is in a bunch of strategy again.) Ian: OTTP5 (From the beer drinking cartoonage to the overly positive view on the game, I'd stake OTTP fersure.) Kathy: OTTP2 (Overly positive take on Joel and Jason's departure and her own misery, total sympathy for Kathy would equate OTT for me. I could see MOR or UTR, even.) Mary: MORN3 (Part of the "stupid" alliance and her relationship with Aras is now offically grating.) Mikey: MOR3 (I could see CP, but I feel a negative, but I really can't back it up with anything, so I'll leave it off the ratings.) Sherea: UTR2 (Could see MOR, but I think her role as the boot target was sprung up too late for that.) Tracy: MOR2 (Could see UTR, but she was talked about a lot all episode, so I think she earns a MOR.) Current Chart
* Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 9 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Brooke - She has her distraction Eliza, she has her CP's, she has her slight cool down moments, and she's already got jury connections. I'm convinced she makes the final tribal council, and right now, it looks like she's winning it. 2. Tracy - Besides Brooke, Tracy is the only other contender I have. Good numbers, not too much for cooldowns, but am I right with Tracy only being shown because she's a part of the story? Maybe. She was merely a boot target this episode and she didn't get too much attention, and this is merge. That's not good. But... perhaps since this has been arguably the least Tracy has been involved in happenings, this was manipulated into a cooldown. Either way, she's on my list of contenders. 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" 3. Aras - Aw, my last episode's first pick. An OTTN merge episode is not what he needed. I was right, his edit is picking up, but it's not the one of the winner. 4. Mikey - With an OTTN start, since then, his numbers have been reasonable, but I don't think he's got this. Many others have MUCH stronger cases. 5. Kathy - A crazy OTT character that rarely has CP moments and whole lot of positive? Yeah, a stronger winner candiate than the following. 6. Eliza - SUPER DISTRACTION. I'm missing what other people see in her edit, because she's had too many CP's, five 4's in visibility with four of them in a row. 7. Sherea - Consistently ignored and an INV. 8. Mary - Terrible beginning edit capped off by a miserable episode one edit. 9. Alexis - Super ignored with too many UTR's. |

I don't know that much about Wikipedia, but they should be safe there, right? Because that's technically someone's own page? ETA: Glad you enjoyed the episode. :)

You are correct! Here's your page for everyone to see.
Guatemalafanfic's Wiki profile So far we have Guatemala (needs some work), Fiji (practically done), All-Stars (practically done), and China (needs some work). You should see if somehow you can get everything from that other Micronesia page onto your page. Tomorrow I'll do the bare bones of Exile Island, Cook Islands, and rate your episode. |

I thought it was great and even though the outcome seemed obvious at the beginning, you threw some doubt into it at the end and made it seem believable. I figured out the jury thing when Brooke said something about jury starting at the next tribal and "Jeff made a weird face." I hope it will be something more like your Fiji with canceling out a jury vote or real Micronesia with an eight person jury for no reason instead of a final 3. The women are completely owning the game also (7-2) so I guess maybe Aras will go on an immunity run or maybe you will have an endgame of all women like the real show.

(A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible.
Good episode. Even though I would've liked to see the Malakal alliance go on for a bit more, this outcome was pretty satisfying. I was a little disappointed that the episode was pretty predictable ( I mean you knew Aras is not gonna get voted off now for he has such a story, and the only way he was gonna be saved was winning immunity so that made the challenge predictable, and then it was pretty easy to tell Ian, who has been so ignored, would be the victim ). Nevertheless, I loved how you tried to build up some doubt there too. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? This time it's hard to tell one part... Maybe the merge and everyone's reaction's to it. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 7,5 (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? All three winner options I have got major problems in this episode. I do think Tracy is the strongest choice now with Aras trailing. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 10? Sherea (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 10? I have felt all the time that Mikey is the one to flip, and I was half-expecting it this episode already. Sherea might piss Kathy and Mikey just goes along with her. 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. Alexis - 7 Ami - 6 Aras - 10 Brooke - 3 Chet - 2 Dave - 8 Earl - 4 Eliza - 6 Erik - 5 Ian - 9 Jason - 7 Joel - 6 Kathy - 8 Mary - 5 Mikey - 5 Natalie - 4 Ruth Marie - 8 Sherea - 2 Terry - 1 Tracy - 10 4.

Rating: INV, UTR, MOR, CP, OTT Tone: NN, N, Mixed (M) , Neutral (), P, PP Visibility: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Alexis - MOR3 Aras - CP?4 ( OK this one was weird. I always try to do edgic as objectively as I can, and I like to think I manage to do that pretty well. And here we are, I have finished the episode and I always write down my initial feelings about every person's rating. Rating for Aras was CPP4, for Brooke CPN3 and for Sherea MORN2. Then I glanced everyone else's rating through and notice that everyone has the tones the other way around! And then even after a re-read, I still can't help but finding Brooke as more of a bitch than Aras. In fact, all episode I failed to see the arrogance in Aras and rather saw as he was explaining his moves through and through and happened to be in a power position at the same time. Then again with Brooke I saw only bitter comments about Aras' position and as I found Aras positive, I obviously found Brooke laughing at him negative. After reading it for third time and still failing to see any difference, I think I just have to believe that this time I'm really looking it for a fan perspective and I'm gonna leave Aras, Brooke and Sherea's tones blank. ) Brooke - CP?3 ( See Aras ) Eliza - CP4 Ian - OTTP4 ( Could see MOR, but he had so many OTT moments I think that was the intention. ) Kathy - MOR2 ( P? I think we were supposed to feel it for her, but then again Joel's loss was nothing but a quick sidenote in this episode's story, so maybe no tone is better. ) Mary - CP3 Mikey - MOR3 Sherea - MOR?2 Tracy - UTR2 Current Chart
* Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 9 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Tracy In the real show, the merge episode is always vital for one's edgic chances, and Tracy has MOR2 at best, and IMO she deserves an UTR2. Still, her story has time to pick up, and with so much negativity in game she's perfect for winning a "why Brooke lost" -game or something like that. Still decent. 2. Aras The next episode will really show where he's headed, very possible underdog winner at the moment I'd say. 3. Brooke Fandom or not, I still don't think Brooke would've been portrayed this way in the last two episodes if she was the winner. Hanging in there for good numbers, but I really don't believe in her anymore. 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" Mary - INV Alexis - Ignored Kathy - One-dimensional Mikey - Too negative early on Eliza - Distraction Sherea - INV and ignored |

Anything will help and will be greatly appreciated! COMMENTS & QUESTIONS (A) What did you think of this episode? Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Very nice episode! For a merge episode, it was very meaty. Had a lot of character development (from Kathy, Eliza, and Brooke) in addition to tons of strategy. I loved Ian's redemption edit. It seems like something the real Survivor editors would do, giving him a story. It sucks that he didn't really have much of a story otherwise in this story (though in Palau he wasn't much better), but what a great way to go out. Aras was set up really well now as a villain, in addition to Alexis and Mary being his accomplices. Very nice to see their faces drop. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? Tribal Council. Between Ian's answers, Ian's blindside, and the fact that the jury starts at 10, it was great. On the topic of the jury, I personally believe it's a Final 2 with 8. Your challenge tracker has 3 challenges in the last episode, 2 immunity and one "challenge." Perhaps the "challenge" is a challenge between the Final 2 where the reward is the right to nullify a vote (like Earl did). (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) Perfect 10, great job. (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Alexis and Mary, why not propose the bullshit Final 4 plan to Kathy in addition to Brooke and Sherea? 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? It's Brooke's to lose. 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 10? I'm going for a surprise and saying Tracy. (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 10? Well you said there are some twists and it looks like there is a combined reward/immunity challenge according to the tracker. Maybe you'll do what they did in the real Fiji and do teams of 4, one person going to Exile. Then the team of 4 that loses has to vote. 3.

Well, I definitely have a lot of comments to reply to (thanks a lot for all of them)! I'll be spending probably the rest of the night going through all of
these, starting with tropical rain.
Hello, and thank you very much for your comments! You were very quick this week, and I enjoyed reading what you had to say! :) I loved it. I got really confused, but I understand it now thanks to your detailed notes. I still can't decide if I like Brooke or Eliza more. Brooke and Eliza <3! Thanks - glad to see you enjoyed it, but I agree that some parts were confusing. Nice to know that the notes helped clear that up. For some reason, I loved the conversation between the women during the immunity challenge. I'll probably be the only one to say this. XD Glad you liked this part. Thanks for pointing it out. I thought it was something that Eliza would do. And I just found out what "XD" stood for yesterday, I guess I'm behind the times... 8, it was good... but expected. I still really enjoyed it! Thanks for the 8. Once again, I find myself agreeing with you. Quite a few people predicted it last week, but I guess that can be considered good in a way since everything leading up to it made sense and led to that conclusion. If this is not cleared up at final tribal, Ian's thoughts on Brooke stabbing him in the back. I think I'll ask him this at the Reunion, rather than trying to answer it right now. Thansk for the questions. Brooke. Ian said that the person that's going to win will do the most deceiving. And you mentioned that Brooke has done a lot of lying so far. Plus, she's doing great edgically. True, even in this episode, she was lying quite a few times. I didn't think of what Ian said when I wrote that in the Notes, but it's definitely possible. Thanks for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll! :) I don't really have many tones this time... Sorry. That's nothing to worry about - you did a great job on your ratings! Sometimes there just isn't a lot of tone to be found, and I think you're right that a lot of people were more neutral-ish in this episode. Both of your Edgic lists look very good too. I'm really really enjoying them... thanks for another great episode! :) Very glad to hear you're enjoying it. It hasn't been the best day for me, so that's something nice to come home to... :) Thanks again for your comments. It's great to have you as a reader, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Hope you have a great night! :) |

Hi MasterDarkNinja! Thank you very much for your comments on the episode, and I'm very glad to see that you really liked this one. I
appreciate you taking the time to comment, as always, and you bring up a lot of great points once again. :)
-There's just too much really obvious stuff already about it being a 6 to 4 vote with Aras' crew losing out, something's going to happen when it merges I bet Yes, I felt like it was kindof obvious too for so long, that's why I did change the boot targets AND try to leave it a mystery as to whether Mary or Ian would go. Usually I would probably say an episode like this was way too predictable, and yet I really enjoyed it a lot despite knowing what would inevitably happen. A lot of the scenes were really entertaining, like the post TC scene, Aras' group being clueless about what was going on. Thank you. This is a pleasant surprise. For a few days, I was thinking that the episode wasn't going to turn out that great for this same reason, but I did think it came together well at the end. Thanks for the 9.5! :) Your predictions for next week are really interesting. Thanks for posting those, and for filling out the Popularity Poll! One of the comments someone made at TC (around when Aras talked about winning immunity) kind of gives me a feeling that Aras is going to go on a long immunity streak for some reason. This whole season is actually sort of constructed in a way to favor a guy making a long immunity run to, with so few guys left, and Mikey being a more out of shape guy. I think Aras may be around for a while even if he keeps on voting in the minority every single tribal council. That's possible too - I guess it would be a little like Terry in the real show, who constantly voted for Aras while he won Immunity. Excellent job on those Edgic ratings. I also have to debate between a few of the ones that you had in brackets, but the ones I really wanted to comment on is: Brooke - CPP(?)3 I know I saw a few CPPs for Brooke, but I really did not think of her as this at all. In fact, I put her as CPN, but I think only one or two people rated her as that, so I may end up going with neutral again. She's had a few episodes that I considered to be pretty close to negative, yet she's managed to avoid getting the N in Edgic... Hmm... Your Contenders / Eliminated lists look very good, as always! :) 1. Brooke (She was too CPish, but she's gotten a very good cooldown before the merge, the only thing that worries me is that her edit looks almost too perfect) Although still no visibility over 3 though, since it's looking like another CP3ish episode this week. Thanks again for your comments. I really appreciate all the time you've put in to my stories over the years, and it's great to still have you as a reader. Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the story. Have a great night! :) |

Hello SFC! Thanks a lot for your comments on the episode. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and for being so quick to
reply, as always. I enjoyed reading what you had to say. :)
Very good as always, I was surprised to see Ian go like that, he was not the character that I would guess to get an UTR edit. Whole lot of shakeups happened. Aras was playing strong, but the switch was already set in stone. The one real complaint I have in the episode is how the votes were read, I was thinking show the Tracy vote, then the Sherea votes, then pile on the Ian votes at the end. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Honestly, I was also surprised that Ian got an UTR edit too. It's not really what I planned on when I decided to put him in the cast, but as I started figuring out the story, I just realized that with so many other people, he wasn't going to be at the forefront of it. Yes, the switch was inevitable despite all of Aras' efforts to stay at the top of the tribe. You're absolutely right about the votes - that would have been perfect and much more suspenseful. Great idea! :) Ian getting Drunk Thanks. Nice to know you enjoyed this scene! 9.8 Thank you. I really appreciate you rating it this high, although I'm a little surprised - but it's definitely a good surprise. :) (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 9? Oops, I forgot to change this again because Yuku erased the Comments post and then I had to redo it and missed this change in the update. Thanks for pointing it out - I fixed it now. Thanks for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll. I enjoyed the little comments next to the players. Brooke - 6 (Smart, but still kinda bland) In my mind, she's getting to be a little more on the negative side though, which should make her a bit more interesting. Sherea - 8 ( China Sherea is coming out) I also felt that she had shades of her old self too, which was good especially after an INV1 last week... Fantastic job on those Edgic ratings. They're all very close to what I was going for. The only one I want to comment on is Brooke: Brooke - CP (P?) I definitely didn't think she was anywhere close to positive, although it's interesting that a few people got this impression. I thought she would be CPN and I've been very surprised to see this rating not come up often. Guess the negative wasn't strong enough, so I'll probably go with neutral. Great Contenders / Eliminated lists! :) Alexis = Ignored Mary,Sherea= INV Kathy,Mikey=OTT Aras= Got his first CP in Episode 7, winners usually have 3-4 by then Interesting about Aras. He was a close call for CP in Episode 6, but even that is still pretty late, I suppose. We'll see how it turns out. Thanks again for your comments. I really enjoyed reading them. Hope you have a great night! Thanks for reading!: ) |

Hello chapera rocks. Thanks for replying to the episode so quickly! I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and I appreciate you taking the
time to comment! :)
Awesome. I loved the underdog alliance pulling it together. And Aras really emerged as a cocky asshole. I was surprised at the level of stupidity among Aras, Ian, Alexis, and Mary, actually thinking Brooke/Sherea would stick with them. Thank you very much. Glad you liked the alliance of six. I agree with you that Aras was presented as very arrogant, and his alliance in general wasn't shown in the brightest light. I did think that it was good of them to make them fake alliance with Brooke/Sherea instead of just doing absolutely nothing. In that case, they would have been REALLY stupid, but they at least earn some points for being proactive. 10 Thank you so much for the 10! I really appreciate you rating it this high! :) Thanks for your Episode 10 predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll! Nice to see so many 10s . :) Awesome job on those Edgic ratings. As always, they're just about perfect in terms of what my intended ratings were. You always impress me with these, and your Contenders / Eliminated lists are very good too. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the episode. Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the story. Have a great night! :) |

Hello CirieFieldsofDreams! Thank you very much for your comments - glad you were able to read the episode and reply. I appreciate you taking
the time to share your thoughts every week. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.
Merge episodes must be the most difficult to write, only because there's SO many options that a writer can choose to follow. And those options affect the story in a big way. With that said, I thought it was a perfect set-up for the end game. Great blindside and it will have some interesting repercussions, I'm sure.
My only question: When Aras gives us his order of Tracy, Eliza, then Mikey as the first three to leave...I know that he wanted a fan/woman out first, but why boot Eliza over Mikey?
Loved the post merge celebration, especially Kathy's talking about how since everyone else is hungover, she'll win the challenge. And then she was first out Thanks. That was definitely meant to be a moment of irony.
Mary - 8 (I'm liking her a lot more episode-by-episode) Interesting - I think her average went down so far for this episode...

Hello chad6, and thank you for your very detailed post of comments. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and to be so
thorough about everything!
Thanks for rating it an 8.9! :)
Brooke - CP3 (Again!) I honestly thought she would get a CPN this episode for her betrayal of Ian. There's been at least two times where I would have given her negatives and
she's managed to get neutrals for both of them. Most likely, I will end up putting down CP3.
