1. Of course it's a totally different ball game now playing from an individual perspective in comparison to the tribal phase we're so used to at this point. I think we're gonna see a shift towards much more self-serving gameplay which will set the tone for the rest of the game! It'll be interesting to see how everything pans out considering the large number left. This is a huge merge! My criteria to vote as of now is just whoever isn't doing it for me socially.

2. For me, OG lines are very much blurred. I haven't been with my original tribe since the original tribes, and I've very much been flying solo since then, having had always been a dragon partner down and then losing two of my dragon partners in one round. At this stage, none of my dragon partners I ever had throughout the game remain in right now. So I don't exactly have any OG lines for them not to be blurred at this point, if that makes sense. It's very much each to their own as far as I'm concerned.

3. Definitely, it does all feel very rushed and from the high of actually making the merge is gonna be where the motivation comes for people to make their cases to stay. It'll be an interesting evening so it will be fun to see it all play out.
