Jumble

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason

Unfortunately this is not a shock as tribal immunity saved Jumble last time out. They were just the biggest threat and no one was even close...although eventually Vash inched closer but he won immunity. A lot of tough negative positioning was done for future episodes so we'll see how it shakes out.

The Twelvth Person Voted Out of Sim Survivor 3...and Second Member of Our Jury....

Spoiler: Torch Snuff

Menalque

The Tribe Has Spoken.

Spoiler: Reason

Bit of a blindside in the sense that Vash started out the episode high and away the biggest threat, then got exiled and had no chance before the immunity challenge to socialize. Luckily for him he avoided any further bad rolls, Menalque had a few bad rolls, and Vash had a clutch good tribal council roll to basically save him from going out 10-1. Vash and Menalque were the only high threat players with Dsjstr immune so they were forced to vote one another. Dsjstr and pabilto dissented because Dsjstr dislikes Vash way more, and Menalque was Pablito's closest ally. A big voting block of 4 decided this one as Kanna, Haschel, Xofelf, and Cheery had no ties to either player or their allies, but ultimately broke for Menalque because it was bad for Pablito, who Haschel does not like.

Also the episode featured a new tweak for the first time, jury management rolls. Randomly jury members can have changes of opinions about the players remaining in the game. You'll see comments like that during Tribal from time to time. Right now for this season this is just a random roll similar to regular camp life rolls. It isn't affected by anyone's stats.
