Tribal Council~ The Tribe Has Spoken!

[Monica Padilla]

Vote #1~ Haha

*Monica gets up to vote*



Alexis, you want it girl, so its all yours!

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #1~



Monica, would you consider this tribe family-like?

Response: I think its way too early to define this tribe as a family. I think though that most of us have taken the opportunity to get to know each other on a personal level. I think this tribe has potential to be like a family in the future though. They're some good people here and I'm glad I'm getting to know them better more and more each day I'm out here.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Penny, here is a penny for your thoughts! Yeah that's about how much they were worth in this game.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council Two~



Monica, you came one vote away from leaving last Tribal. Expecting to see your name once again?

Response: I do expect my name to come up tonight. Once again they're certain individuals who I guess have no interest in getting to know me. Also seeing as one of my votes from the last time was written with hate...I think it's safe to say someone doesn't like me. lol. I think majority of the people here on this tribe though have taken the time to get to know me and I trust them.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Jerri, 5 votes sounds a lot better then 4. Can't wait to find out who you really were when this is all over!

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council Three~



Monica, you've been pretty popular here at Tribal Council. Will the trend continue?

Response: I think you mean unpopular Jeff. lol. I think the trend will probably continue. I was told by someone that they would continue to write down my name until I left. So that's at least one vote against me tonight unless they're lying..which of course we know they have done a lot of already. Will see though!

*Monica gets up to vote*



Kim, I can't think of a better person to vote off tonight. The fact that you have to now be an alias to try and get me out in games just shows what low levels you will stoop to try and get me out.

[Monica Padilla]

Vote #2~ Haha

*Monica gets up to vote*



She is only one of two people on this tribe who haven't written down my name so for that reason I am voting confidence on her remaining our Haha.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council Six~



Monica, you're in a new tribe and had the worst score. Why should you be kept in this game, what can you bring?

Response: I did have the worst score and its very unlike me to not be a good competitor. I think the boys have seen me compete very hard and know I'm capable of better. It was just a case of bad luck and searching in the wrong areas. I do feel responsible for this loss and I hope that the guys will keep me around. I think I bring a competitive spirit, willing to get to know people, lighten the mood around camp, and loyalty.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Johnny, I think you would flip to the other side and I know that Cirie would stay loyal to this tribe. I'm not going to follow in the mistake of my other tribe members tonight.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #9~



Monica, you're the last woman standing on a tribe full of men. Does that make you worried?

Response: Ya know it does and it doesn't. I think that if someone was to target me its obvious that the first thing they would say is that its because I'm the only girl left on this tribe. On the other hand though I think that really could be the only reason used against me tonight. I have felt since pretty much I got here that I was more embraced by the men then I was the woman. Everyone here has been nice and cordial. So I would hope that the relationships that I felt I have built here would be strong enough to keep me around.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Johnny, we just don't talk and I think Dreamz could be of more use to me in this game.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #10~



Monica,you're the only girl who has seen both tribes in this game. Consider that an advantage or something that can work against you?

Response: Umm I don't think its really an advantage or a disadvantage. I mean I guess technically I come into this merge only having not met 2 people. So I guess I of anyone have the least people to get to know. So I do have some sort of relationship with other 8 unlike everyone else. I don't think that my journey to this point though will hurt or help me. I think this merge and this vote will be based on trust.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Richard, you're the person I know the least and in a game built around communication and trust we just don't have it with each other at this point.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #11~



Monica, you weren't the majority for any of the questions and got second place in the challenge. Make you feel good or left out?

Response: I felt good in terms of my performance. I think it showed that I had a good idea of how majority of the people are thinking in this game. I was glad I wasn't chosen as a majority for anything, but I was also able to see that some people here do think that a possible majority of people have a negative perception of me. Overall, though I'm happy with how the challenge went down except for not winning it at the end

*Monica gets up to vote*



Kelly, I'm just returning the favor. I have never liked you and apparently majority thinks your phony as well. No love lost here! Have fun being drunk!

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #12~



Monica, considering your score in this challenge, would it be fair to say you're feeling a little safe tonight?

Response: Now why would you say that Jeff? lol. I'm the Queen of getting votes you know that! How many Tribal Councils have I been to where my name has been written down? I certainly don't feel safe, but I certainly know when I'm not good at something and untieing knots for medallions is not my thing. I knew there were going to be people who were a lot more capable then I was at this challenge and so I just gave it a last minute shot. Clearly the result was poor and that wasn't surprising for me.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Brianna, I'm returning the favor. You actually did have a shot of working together with me again and you of course once again blew it. Blame yourself even though I'm sure you will blame me!

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #13~



Monica, there was a lot of downtime this round with the challenge. Do you think the downtime may have caused alliance shifts with the extra social time?

Response: Honestly, I felt the downtime was pretty quiet. lol. I felt like everyone wasn't really talking strategy or trying to figure out what was going to happen next. So I don't think it really changed anything. I think most of the scrambling and game talk occurs when we have to come here Jeff. lol

*Monica gets up to vote*



Fairplay, this has been a long time coming and hopefully third time is the charm.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #14~



Monica, do you think anyone is gonna be surprised by the outcome of tonight's vote?

Response: I don't think so...but you never know right?

*Monica gets up to vote*



Tyson, I've been waiting to do this for a looong time. lol.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council #15~



Monica, how do you feel your position is in this game after last round's blindside to Big Tom?

Response: My position is certainly weaker. I don't feel as safe as I did last round which ended up being a surprise for me. So I can only hope that people have come to realize how things are currently with Big Tom out of the game. Peoples positions are going to change if the wrong person for them goes this time. I think people need to look at the bigger picture getting down to the end here.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Tyson, hopefully this time everyone wore their thinking caps

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council Sixteen~



Monica, statistically speaking, you have a 25% chance of leaving this game tonight. So do you feel 75% safe?

Response: Yes I do because I'm all about the numbers in this game and that's where the numbers add up for me right now.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Matty, there have been times in this game where we have been close and times where we have been far apart. Right now I feel like were far apart. You're a great guy regardless though.

[Monica Padilla]

Tribal Council Seventeen~



Alexis, Monica and Tom, the three of you have come a long way but one of you will lose their chances at winning this game tonight. What's the general mood about tonight's big vote?

Response: I think the general mood with tonight's vote is that really anything could happen. I mean when you get to this point you know that they're a ton of reasons to vote for anyone. I wouldn't say though for me this was particularly more or less difficult then any other vote we've had to made.

*Monica gets up to vote*



Alexis, I'm surprised you got this far without saying very much, but tonight I think your journey finally comes to an end.
