Inita whispers to Trey
Trey, please don't volunteer to leave us. We need you! You are one of the strongest players we have. Nicarong needs you. Today's race was really, really tough! I don't think there is anything we could have done differently. PLEASE! Reconsider...

As the game approaches the halfway point, Gia takes some time to talk with each player in private after the challenges. No other players will see this and it will not be posted until after the game is completely over. All information shared here is 100% confidential and for the behind the scenes footage ONLY. Please be as candid and open as possible. She asks each player for a short interview....

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

"Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

"Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

"How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

"Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

"What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

"Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

and finally, "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Pierre's Reply:

*******************************************

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

Pierre replies "I would guess it would be Lolli or Meggie. Lolli because she is the most likely to vote on her own. As we enter as one tribe we need to know that we can depend on each other to vote Ocono off the island. Meggie because she took so long to believe us on the alliance thing and there are hurt feelings from those of us that were in it. I like them both but I see them as the weak links now. I would prefer to go into the final half ofd the game with 6 of us though."

Gia asks "Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

Pierre replies "I will stay true to NIC."

Gia asks "Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

Pierre replies "I am having fun but if you don't intend to win, Why play?"

Gia asks "How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

Pierre replies "I will continue to try to be an asset to the group."

Gia asks "Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

Pierre replies "Haven't really had one. I like Aggie a lot. But we don't do things together much."

Gia asks "What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

Pierre replies "Dealing with people getting mad and getting in my face. I hate that!"

Gia says "Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

Pierre replies "The alliance thing. It ended up not being needed and it was formed too early in the game."

and finally, Gia asks "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Pierre replies "I would like to see me and Inita."

Lollie's Reply:

*******************************************

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

Lollie replies ""I will probably be the one to go next! I am not in the camp all that much because of lots of reasons and I don't seem to help out as much as I really should...if it were me picking, I would choose myself, because I am hardly ever around to help!"

Gia asks "Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

Lollie replies "I will always stay true to my tribe! But, I won't be mean to the other team! If someone asks me for help, I will help them! No matter which team...I didn't like it very well when almost all of the other team was mean to our team (when we got to send a message to the other team) and I have a feeling that they won't be any nicer to us after we merge...besides! Nicarong is my family now! Even if I don't like the fights we have had, it doesn't mean that I love them any less!!!"

Gia asks "Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

Lollie replies "a little of both! I would like to win...but, I don't figure I will, so, I am going to have fun while I can! My mommy has never been anywhere other than home...so she loves that I have the chance to go somewhere different!"

Gia asks "How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

Lollie replies "I guess I don't really know!! It is to MY best advantage to get along with everybody...because, whether I win or I lose...I am going to leave here with lots of new family that mean soooo much to me! Besides...Grandpa always told Mommy that it wasn't whether she won or lost, it was how she played the game! and to me, this game is more about the actual experience! Yeah, I like the "stuff" I have gotten, but, I LOVE my new family!!!"

Gia asks "Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

Lollie replies "I would have to say it is a big decision!! I really miss Marissa!!! and Aggie and Meggie are REALLY great! Trey and Pierre have been soooo wonderful and have helped to fill the void that I feel without my brothers (who I miss a whole lot!!) and Inita has been nice to me too...I haven't really gotten to know her as well as the others though...if I have to decide though...it is between Aggie and Meggie and I can't decide farther than that!!!"

Gia asks "What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

Lollie replies "ummm...nothing really....I am used to camping, it is a family favorite for vacation (Grandma always takes us camping!!) Plus, my older sisters are all in Brownies or Girl Scouts and 2 of my brothers are boy scouts...I think, probably the first week, before we got our water thingie, when we had to boil all of the water before we could drink it and pumping it now is pretty hard sometimes! I DO miss "real" food though! I could really go for a rare steak! Right off the grill!! Daddy makes the most awesome steaks in the world!!! or!! I wouldn't mind going to Grandma's restaraunt and eating some of Auntie Della's eggs and hash browns! I guess, having to start the fires is hard...but, I don't do that often! I don't get up as early as some of the others!!!"

Gia says "Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

Lollie replies "yeah...I should have said "no" when I was asked to join an alliance...I didn't believe in it when I was asked and wasn't really comfortable with the idea in the first place...I have voted my own mind each time...I have stayed true to myself...and I think THAT is the most important thing! I do regret NOT being in camp more often...but, life just seems to get in the way sometimes!"

and finally, Gia asks "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Lollie replies "ummmm....I would say that Pierre and Trey would be great!! But, Meggie and Aggie and Inita all work soooo hard! Did you see the way that Inita kicked butt and took names on the butterfly challenge!!! WOW!! I guess, I just want both players to be Nicarong players by then! :) It would be very hard to have to decide which one to vote for though...I guess I can't decide on that one either!"

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

Meggie replies "I think Inita."

Gia asks "Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

Meggie replies "I would like to stay true to my tribe but I do have a little trouble trusting them after what they did to me with their alliance."

Gia asks "Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

Meggie replies "I was playing to have fun but I think after the merger, I might play to win. I still don't know yet."

Gia asks "How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

Meggie replies "I intend to let my team think that I have forgiven and forgotten but I have not. I will get revenge if I have to. Right now, I just like being a nice guy."

Gia asks "Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

Meggie replies "I guess Trey since we always get up together in the mornings."

Gia asks "What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

Meggie replies "The hardest thing to do is to vote someone off after losing immunity. It makes me feel badly."

Gia says "Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

Meggie replies "Not so far."

and finally, Gia asks "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Meggie replies "Me of course (LOL) for one and then I don't really have a choice as to the second player."

Inita's Reply:

*******************************************

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

Inita replies "I would say Meggie. She is the most self centered and two faced member in the tribe."

Gia asks "Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

Inita replies "The easy way out is to say that Nicarong will stay true to each other. But I don't feel like I have too many allies among Nicarong. Time will tell..."

Gia asks "Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

Inita replies "To win, of course!"

Gia asks "How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

Inita replies "By keeping my options open. I am alert to all that goes on and I will go for any opportunity that comes up."

Gia asks "Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

Inita replies "Pierre! He stood by me when I was upset that I received those votes at tribal council. He was a true friend, not just feeding me a line to gain a strategic advantage."

Gia asks "What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

Inita replies "Co-exist with and depend on people I don't get along with."

Gia says "Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

Inita replies "Sometimes I wish I wouldn't just say what came to my mind. I could have spared a lot of hard feelings by keeping my mouth shut."

and finally, Gia asks "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Inita replies "Pierre and Trey. They have been the best players out of the whole group."

Aggie's Reply:

*******************************************

Gia asks "If you look around your tribe, who is least likely to be here next week if your team loses the immunity challenge?"

Aggie replies "I'm afraid it'll be me! *nervous laugh* I think if I had to vote someone off it woulds be Inita. I love her, actually I love the whole tribe but... She isn't around to do any of our everyday work. Inita only is around for challenges and then she takes over, I couldn't stand it in the scavener hunt."

"Do you intend to stay true to your tribe after the merger or will you build alliances with the other tribe if given the opportunity?"

Aggie replies "The Nicarong tribe is an alliance, so yes I plan to stick with them."

"Are you playing to win, or just having fun?"

Aggie replies "I'm just having fun, it would be nice to win, I have made some great friendships. I will never forget them or my experiance on the island."

"How do you intend to play the game to your best advantage?"

Aggie replies "By trying my hardest to win all the challenges."

"Who has been your closest friend on the island?"

Aggie replies "I'd say Pierre, we have nicknames for each other. I really think I am pretty close to everyone, they mean the world to me."

"What one thing did you find the hardest to do on the island?"

Aggie replies "Tribal council, its so hard to vote members off. They've become my family and its hard to let them go."

"Is there anything you regret having done in the game?"

Aggie replies "I regret joining that first aliance because of what it did to our tribe for awhile."

and finally, "Who would you like to see as the final 2 players in the game?"

Aggie replies "I guess I'd like to see Pierre and one of the Ocono's. Pierre should win, in my honest opinion!"
