 Welcome to Judgment. You must use image editing software and the parchment below to vote. Below are questions that might help guide your tribe, or expose its members, but regardless of their implications you must answer them along with your vote. Failure to answer questions at two Judgments will result in a self-vote. If you do not vote within the prescribed time limit, your voting list will be taken into affect.AJ: Six idols have been played in this game. Is it safe to say these votes are all about idols at this point? Ben: A very tough immunity to win, how does that make you feel? Cassie: How personal has this game been for you? Has it taken an emotional toll? Colleen: What was your reaction to the merge vote? Did anything surprise you? Dominic: Do you think that this group of 9 right here is necessarily the best players of the series? Ellen: Is this game more about winning for you or about having a successful showing? Henry: You're one of the few people from the early seasons to still be around. What do you think you had going for you that the others didn't? Knox: How do you feel you've changed from last season to this season? Has your gameplay improved do you think? Thiago: Do you think that All-Star games bring out the best or worst in people?  Votes due Tuesday at noon. |

By the way, I will reveal the top 4 answers to the questions as long as there is unanimous consent from the Final 9. Do not consent, you just need to send me a PM.

Knox: How do you feel you've changed from last season to this season? Has your gameplay improved do you think?
I think there has been a lot of change on me. I have played far more emotionally this time around and I am having a much harder time with things as well. I feel like I became extremely close to a lot of people, and it's hard to try and put my feelings to the side and just do what the smart thing is. Last season I also didn't care if people didn't talk to me, but this season I find myself almost hurt if people don't talk to me, or if I have to start every conversation.
I believe my gameplay has improved though. My social game is a million times better, and I am far more active as well. I have also been making hard decisions without cowering from them, and I just feel it has been better overall. I even feel smarter haha. |

Cassie: How personal has this game been for you? Has it taken an emotional toll?
It's extremely personal. We've all said and done things that we regret. The emotional toll is huge, and it is much bigger than any game without returning players. Having an emotional connection with people that was established before the game makes playing the game a thousand times harder. I'm always the type of person to play more with my heart than my head. So a game like this makes everything much more difficult.

Henry: You're one of the few people from the early seasons to still be around. What do you think you had going for you that the others didn't?
I started on the Legatu tribe! Haha, I'm kinda kidding and I'm kinda not. I did not develop the personal relationships with the players from Season 2 that the players from these later seasons value so much, and I do think that was a bit of a disadvantage coming in. Winning immunity early while on Legatu gave me the chance to get to know everyone and learn about these other seasons. I hope I've done Season 2 proud by making it to the Top 9!

Yeah definitely! Someone could have the perfect voting plan, and then an idol can just ruin everything. They are definitely very important.

I'm not completely sure of the answer myself. I think that I came into this game with a lot to prove, given my reputation in the series canon. My biggest fear has always been that I didn't have what it took, that me being an all-star was really just a big fluke, and that I'd come in here and be easily dispatched, like a fly being taken out with by a flyswatter.  |

I think that we have seen both. I have seen some fantastic qualities, and I have seen some awful displays. I think that emotions, dedication, and a desire to have a good showing all within a high-strung, intense environment with pre-established friendships in congruence with residual feelings from previous seasons all come together to create the ingredients for a Hot Mess soup in a pot which is stirred frequently.

I choose to give up my individual immunity to Dominic.

Dominic is now immune.
Because of this change, the voting deadline has been extended. You have until 6PM Eastern Time tomorrow to vote. The challenge will be up shortly thereafter.
