Episode 5

[Mindy]

Everyone on Nostromo is now so angry at Xenia, but too late. Should've gotten rid of her over Call

I'm not bitter at all

[Mindy]

And Xenia isn't even being apologetic about it! That would just infuriate me.

[Ripley]

It's interesting to watch, though. I kinda wanna see the 5 make the merge so I hope they can pull out the win here. If not, Xenia goes next and then it seems like Rita knows she's positioned to swing either with T-X/Cameron or Alice/Jessica. I could see T-X going given she's really going hard, but you never know. It may be desirable to bring her into a merge as a shield.

[Mindy]

I think Cameron would be more likely to go, since Jessica says Alice and T-X are her two favourites. Rita could also be an option herself, that way no one will end up feeling betrayed, they could all vote for her together. But I really hope they win this one. Losing any of that 5 pre-merge would be tragic.

[Ripley]

On the flipside, there's the coasting over at Sulaco. I think it's probably a good thing they keep winning because it won't expose the divide and when we hit the merge then I see it more like 3 tribes merging rather than 2. But there's so much cross pollination in the Sulaco alliances... it could just be crazy town if they hit a merge with 9 intact. Especially if Selene still plans to throw a Noxeema vote and if that happens at the double tribal...

[Mindy]

I said Noxy can share the site she used to practice with in the challenge forum, hope that's okay. Since it's not discussing the mission itself, just the game in general? I don't think she'll end up doing it anyway, since she wants the clue.

[Mindy]

Oh and I don't think Selene will vote Noxy next time. Babydoll was eager at first but after Claire said she wasn't keen, she went back to Selene and told her it'd have to wait.

[Mindy]

And Kaylee STILL hasn't responded to any messages that I can tell, apart from one to Cherry, wtf? Odd choice, do they even like each other?

Yeah that's fine. Any decision my co-hosts make I will always back 100% (unless it's contradicted elsewhere).

[Mindy]

Babydoll three rounds into the challenge, all correct so far. Slow and steady wins the race, I think! Claire would probably be the only one who could beat her on that tribe, she could potentially do it faster since she's already familiar with the game but I don't know if she'll be careful enough to make sure she gets them all. If Babydoll does it perfectly, that's very bad for Nostromo with only 1 point lost between Sulaco's first two players, while Cameron only got 12/28. Please someone on Sulaco screw up Nostromo can't get down to 4 before the merge!

[Ripley]

Yeah, Cameron's approach wasn't careful enough was it? That's a lot of score to miss out on.

[Mindy]

Yeah, which is unfortunate because she was the one who said that time is secondary and just to focus on getting it right. So she knew what she should do, just didn't manage it

What was that Call was ranting about on her way out about how I don't do challenges? alol. I have never taken the penalty for the challenges, and even did pretty decent in the math one. I don't know what she was going on about, but I guess I can concede that I am maybe a little on the more inactive side

I'm genuinely confused as to whether she thinks she hasn't done anything wrong, or if she just doesn't know that it was made public at TC because of the penalty vote? 

[Ripley]

Might be that she's referring to the 15 minute auto time.

[Mindy]

Yeah but she hasn't referenced the penalty vote or the fact that she didn't finish the challenge to anyone at all. And the non-completion penalty is way worse than the 15 minute thing.
