    Mike Bloom's tweet includes a video clip. __________________________________________________________

    So I was looking over my #Survivor49 preseason videos, and I made a
    shocking revelation

    Kristina actually had her jury question already prepared 2 days before
    the game even started!

    I actually think it is an unfair question. Some people are just not
    good at remembering names - especially when you can't associate the name
    with a face. It has nothing to do with social skills or "people" skills.
    I think if I had been in Savannah's position at that moment, I may
    have made a joke about how bad I am with names and how I sometimes can't
    even remember my boyfriend's relatives names. But she handled it fine
    and it ultimately didn't seem to have hurt her at all.

    I actually think it is an unfair question.-a Some people are just not
    good at remembering names - especially when you can't associate the name with a face. It has nothing to do with social skills or "people" skills.
    -aI think if I had been in Savannah's position at that moment, I may
    have made a joke about how bad I am with names and how I sometimes can't even remember my boyfriend's relatives names.-a But she handled it fine
    and it ultimately didn't seem to have hurt her at all.

    It's a stupid question as far as I'm concerned. What does knowing names
    of someone's family members have to do with the game? I don't think it
    would have mattered how well Savannah answered the question. She was
    never going to get Kristina's vote.

    I agree as knowing family member names says nothing about the player's
    social game which is what Kristina seems trying to get at.

    I don't think it
    would have mattered how well Savannah answered the question. She was
    never going to get Kristina's vote.

    That's definitely the case. Given she not only thought that she
    disliked Savannah during the pre-game section, but felt strongly
    enough about her dislike that she brought it up during an interview. I
    doubt there is anything Savannah could have done to get Kristina's
    vote.

    I'd like to know what it was about Savannah that triggered Kristina so
    badly. She had it out for her even before they talked.
