My dearest Sandra.
Please join me for canapes, chocolate, caviar and champagne in my private lodge.
How excited I am to fianlly have some time alone with you.
Finally we can retire away from the prying eyes of our troop and the press and honor that time old tradition of the theatre.
That of a man and his leading lady taking their performance to the next level through a romantic tryst.
Please open the door on arrival; I shall leave it unlocked and I shan't be weating much.
S.

Gaffer, what the bloody hell are you doing. I am half naked here man. Get out of my room.
What do you mean you copied my invitiation and handed it to 5 different women. Why would you.... Oh dear god. Who man, who did you give it to.
First, the other Sandra. Okay, umm, understand the mistake.
Then the two Vanessas? Why?
When they all arrive this is going to be so problematic. I was serious about the cancelling thing. I've come close quite a few times. I don't even know how I dodged that Me Too bullet. But this, man how can I recover from this.
Look, look it will be okay. I'll just tell them all that Sandra and I are just rehersing a sceen. Yes, they are young and impressionable and I am a legend. For Christ's sake I am a God damn knight. They'll believe that for certain.
What..
What did you say?
You invited Diana Rigg as well.
Oh dear. I am so fucked.
Ladies, welcome!

Bonjour and merci for the kind invitation, Sir David. I just knew you were going to be the ladies man.

A man who spent his time inviting various woman into his private chambers? Hm, you sound very-much like my husband. Whether that is a good thing or not remains to be seen. Now, where is the wine? Surely you're going to be serving it to us lovely woman, yes? Snap, snap.

Well how lovely to receive an invitation. You see I am normally the one making the canapes and serving the champagne. I do hope it is okay that I am still in my maids uniform. Had I known that there are such regal people here, I should have at least tried to borrow something more suitable.
[Sandra as Margaret subtly brushes down the front of her uniform and then slowly flicks her hair over her shoulder]
And don't worry too much about having your pants down Sir David, it is not the first time I have walked into such a sight. Just the other day I actually saw none other than Winston Churchill in the same predicament.

Oh my dear ladies, want a um.. pleasant surprise. ![](https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-07-2018/cy7fsV.gif) POP!!! Who would like some champagne! I do like to have some of my young and vivacious leading ladies in an intimate engagement, and all of you seem most delightful. Perhaps I shall reward the gaffer after all. So apparently, in addition to putting on a show and hiding from ghosts, we are playing some sort of game. Perhaps it is like that Squid Game program. Do you know that I am in the running to play 001 in the English speaking reboot? Well regardless, my research for the role has given me a strong insight into the potential sort of survival game play we might see. I see that the purpose of this round is to build some goodwill across enemy lines as that say. With that in mind, I would be happy to inform you of some of the comings and goings at the Suchet tribe. Our vote, which saw poor Smythe (or as most of us called him, the Butler) go was a 4-3 with Max the Plate getting the second amount of votes. There was I believe a need to split given the various advantages that were delivered in the first challenge presents. Ladies, do you mind me asking, has there been much chatter about said advantages in your troops? I am happy to share with you the advantages that I have heard are present on our tribe if you would perhaps do me the kindness of the same. For example, I understand that Smythe had a 50/50 coin idol which if flipped and landed correctly he would be immune.

I am always open to share "cross enemy lines" chatter. That's what a good decoder does, no? Searches for clues. I unfortunately do not know what Trevor left with. He would have never told me to begin with and even those I think he was more closely tied to ... well I don't think anyone knew. I was very worried about an outright idol, though. Maybe that 50/50 flip was as close as one could get through the gifting system. If so that is valuable info for Team Harris to know and I appreciate you shedding light on that. I pretty much now know who has that on our team.
Other chatter about the advantages was minimal on my end.

Well one thing you might find interesting is that the advantages that I have heard of are all tied their specific troop. I.e. as far as I know the ones obtained in the challenge by the Suchet troop canonly be played in the Suchet troop.
I am aware of three, and you'll allow me some discretion I hope, in not revealing who potentially has what, but I am happy to confess the nature of such so that may aid you lovely ladies in your troop as you move forward in your performance.
Other than the 50/50 idol, there is also a Shot in the Dark which I am told can be played more than once. Was a dice rolled before your votes were read? If so, that is what that related to. There is also a Safety without Power floating around.
Was the Trevor vote quite unanimous? Based on his post count I can't imagine he contributed much in that farce of a challenge?

I respect you using discretion, mon ami. I'd find it amiss if you chose not to. I am sure you respect the same back from all the ladies you are going to ply with champagne toight. I do also believe that the advantage for Team Harris must be played while at Team Harris although I WAS told something could be played later in the game. I have no way to verify that at all nor do I know what it is. There is definitely a Shot in the Dark. There is definitely a 50/50. Isobel might know more.
Trevor left primarily for not connecting as much with the rest of us. But he did try. It's just his story from one person to the other was different ... mais pourquoi? I think he had to know he was on the outs and just tried his best to win favor no matter how. I mean, I would have known I was on the outs. That is why we feared an idol and begrudgingly we probably went overboard to assure him he was safe. I'm sure you understand the theory of all being fair in love and war.

When it comes to the items, the ones I heard first-hand were tribe-specific, making me think we would not be in those tribes for very long. That was my hope, because most of the items seemed silly. I heard nothing about an idol, doubler, blocker, or things one would typically see. If anything, it was the less-than-desired items. I giggled. I can confirm everything that dear Camille is saying, as I did hear that an item could be used past that, but I could not obtain further details. From my tally, we have the 50/50, a shot in the dark, and at least two KIP, which to me sounds odd. Why two of the same silly weapon? But it is what I heard.
Trevor was a charming fellow. I'll give him that. You're right in assuming he was not the most useful in the challenge, but it was mainly because he was around different hours than literally everyone else. Nobody held it against him, but that alone convinced him he was on the outs (which was very strange because he was not horrid socially). Then, as Camille said, his story changed from person to person, giving him the ugly stigma of being shady. I do feel for him, as he was quite likable, but with small tribes, you must trust your gut.

Post by Aunt Diana Rigg as Narrator on Mar 5, 2024 11:16:41 GMT 10
*FaceTime Call Connecting...* It was the morning, evening or whatevering time depending on the myriad of timezones that have been mentioned several times by the Head Righter in The Goes Wrong ORG, when Sandra Wilkinson rang her up Aunt Diana for a FaceTime call to yet again. Per the usual, the iconic and Legendary star of both movies and television for decades, Dame Diana Rigg was asked to step in and narrate a live production lead by her and the other amateur actors of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. Round 3 (Or technically Round 2 and not 3, but these buffoons wish to gaslight us on believing the whole Juror Number #3 false start mumbo jumbo.) Where was I? Oh yes, Round 3 had begun and the stage was set for the actors of Aunt Diana's dear niece's horrific acting troupe began their performance in The Lodge. Having went to bed before posting in her fellow Guest Star and Narrator of some production or another Sir David Suchet's room, finally she'd arrived on her phone decked out in a very vintage but fabulous kimono and began to make her grand appearance...Mr. Suchet, as much as I graciously thank you for the invitation to your room. I'm not going to let you get away with this pervish behavior towards my niece, calm yourself with ogling over all of the women you invited here, at least the young ones. Shame on you for that, but I must admit you're also quite charming... but I won't say more than that! Anyway, my apologies for the very delayed response to your invitation, Sir David. And hello to the rest of you here. I did turn in last night before posting here, and have awoken from my beauty sleep to see this room filled with discussion! I normally say a lot, and since I'm pressed for time at the moment and won't be back here until later tonight. I'll just dump all my information and details of Team Rigg here in this post, it shall be what some would call a "Wall of text" and I've no shame in that. Over on Team Rigg we had things quite easy, not many of us sent missives over the weekend. I mean we did, but it was rather lax over the period when the challenge that wasn't a challenge was taking place. The lot of us were all helping with the bloody triggers and tasks, and Dennis as John/Smee barely did much nor spoke much. It was quite obvious if we were to lose the challenge or vote and what have you, I think his name would be on everyone's lips even before we all had to bring it up. There was some discussions of him having a gift that might be troublesome, and I heard second hand through the others that he'd been attempting to vote for Dennis Dear Head, but alas when the votes were read, it seemed the Dennis he was speaking of was himself and he left swiftly in a 7-0 vote. As for the gifts, I appreciate the candor and openess to discuss such things. I can confirm Team Rigg's items also stated they could only be used on our team. And we too had the same things some of you have mentioned here. I acquired Safety Without Power, where I can remove anyone else from the Tribal Council giving them both immunity and no vote. It's a shite item, why would I do such a thing? I don't know if it's worth it, especially in a round like this. I do believe the Roberts both came into the dice roll items. The other items were a "fake" immunity idol, Mad the Crocodile got the Medallion of power from Nicaragua, which I thought could mean we were staying on this team. As that was for a challenge advantage, but now seeing these new format rules, what would it even do? I believe Deer Head Dennis got a Legacy Advantage but said it also seemed useless. That being said, I do apologize again for the word vomit. But I shall not be back here until much later in the evening. And I have yet to invite anyone to my own room, but I shall do all of that tonight. I'm intrigued about why the Head Righter said we should invite Trevor, let me know if this is a good idea those of you who knew of him, if not, I won't do it. Or I could and let you know what he's said or what have you, if you wish? With that, good bye. *FaceTime Call Disconnected*

You can always trust a narrator to deliver the exposition needed in the most succinct manner possible. Some call it lazy writing, but as a man who has made a career out of the occasional voice over, I call it an easy pay check.
Thank you my dear Diana for that dump of text. It was incredible informative and is most apprecited by me and I am sure the other ladies here.
You do not need to worry about your niece, (who I assume is Sandra Maggie), as my heart (and other parts) belong to Sandy Skye who I presume is of no relation despite looking almost the same. Perhaps a parrellel universe incursion? I have made one or two cheap sci-fi movies in my time, so I know a thing about it. And I did have the pleasure of seeing yonng love blossom on the set of Wing Commander with Frederick and Sarah (although she was only on set) and Matthew seemed quite upset and being 'bro-zoned' as he called it, when she was around. Frederick did have a knack for writing as well, although I did hope he'd channel in to something other than professional wrestling, but then again a pay check is a pay check as they say.

This is interesting. If you go back to the Troop Meeting, do you think he gets booted right back? I also wonder if there was a challenge or something similar in order for them to return?

I also wonder if there was a challenge or something similar in order for them to return? it pleases me to see a bunch of walls of text in this lovely room. It stirs my blood in all the right directions, should you catch my drift. Forgive me for being short, as I am on my phone on the desktop version. The other version is too ugly for my beautiful eyes. Anyway, to be short, I do believe he will be immune unless I misread that part of the format. Since the two of you have been candid, I shall go into more details. Trevor was in an interesting position where he did have some support, but most of the tribe did not like him. I do fear that he may hold something against Camille and I, because we didn’t engage into conversation with him. Some of the others just blew him off from the start since, well, he wasn’t around as much as others. Honestly, it made his shady behaviour all the more bizarre. On paper, it was an easy choice to boot him as he has the least connections, but it involved thought if that makes sense. Given the bad blood that I expected there, I cannot really see us wanting to keep him around, but a conversation would have to be had. I’m not one to want to brush anyone off, but it IS awkward.

It was a similar situation with our removal of Smythe, in terms of the fact that he just didn't communicate as often and as well as the rest of the troop. Max the Plate was very much similar. I wouldn't say that either came accross as shifty though and it largely came down to who preferred whose vibe (between the two of them) amongst the rest of the the 5 in the troop as to whether we sent Smythe or Plate out. We knew that Smythe had the 50/50 and Plate has the SIITD, so it made sense to split.
Very interesting to hear that there is a KIP in play on both tribes. I had not heard of that one. Even more interesting given how up front everyone is being with their advantages. And two KIPs in one troop, just imagine? Could one steal the SIITD and then the next person steal it immediately after? I do think that the SIITD appears to be the best advantage of the lot, as I was told it can be played each round until it hits or one is voted out and you do not even need to sacrifice your vote.
I happen to have the Safety Without Power than Diana mentioned and can confirm it works precisely as she says. I am not able to play it on myself, it is non transferrable and I can only use it while on the Suchet tribe. Accordingly, it is next to useless.

I can already see that you may face a difficult tribal if your troop is not immune. Especially with Trevor being immune as you say (I missed that in the HR's enormous wall of text). If it assists, I am happy to vote for your tribe to be the one that should be immune. I mean no offence to our good friends Diana and Sandra here who have been incredibly generous with their information also. However, it seems to me that all of our further good friends the Vanessas here probably have a tough tribal with Trevor immune. Diana and Sandra, are you desperate to avoid tribal council? I am happy to consider the options if you need to be kept safe as well?

I see that he is now throwing his support behind Prince Chris? Is this of concern to you and Vanessa? This does not come as a surprise, as Prince Richard and he were close. In fact, Prince Richard forgot to vote on time, resulting in a 4-1-1 vote. They were around during many of the same times, so it only made sense that they were close. I would not say that it comes as a worry, as Trevor would feel the least amount of betrayal from Prince Richard and would obviously be singing his praises. Prince Richard is a lovely chap and I hold no ill-will towards him. I cannot say for sure how "easy" or "difficult" out next vote is going to be, especially if we're unable to contact our own tribe members for the round. I think that would make anyone nervous, wouldn't it? Having somebody that we blindsided coming back into the game is terribly awkward and unpleasant, though. That is something I will not bother holding back, but it's part of this lovely game we signed up for, yes? Being immune would be lovely, but I am sure everyone is feeling nervous.

Yes it is a messy affair for certain. For what it is worth, and a sign of mutual goodwill (despite the little floppy rumours) I am happy to vote for your tribe to be immune this round and, in the event that does not work, for one you to be the purple troop non ghost or whatever fangled term the HR keeps using.
