First of all if I had the choice, neither one of you would be in the
final 2, one of you is not a great player, and the other is a big fat
cheating bitch, I'll let you decide...
my vote is up in the air
at this point... I advise you to answer str8 up, and without the
nonsense and psycho babble you both are prone to giving...
1) Why do you deserve to win?
2) What did you do feel it necessary to message me with fake niceness?
3)
did you know Jeanne was cheating to get me voted out when I didn't win
immunity? And did you think the 1:10 score on the 80 piece puzzle with
rotation was just a little fake?
4) For each member of the jury, you MUST tell them there biggest flaw in the game (cut throat, or lose my vote)
Hey Ryan, thanks for the compliment, haha!
I will answer your questions as best I can, and I'll keep the psycho babble to a minimum.
1. I deserve to win because I played a game where I was loyal to my alliances, did what I needed to do to survive to the finals and only won the challenges I needed to win and not anything to excess. I put my ego away throughout this game and knew that I didn't need to prove anything to anyone, I needed to get to the end however I could, and with this particular format, the best way to do that was stick with my alliance. I didn't lie unnecessarily, I didn't have to scumbag anyone or cheat anyone, I simply made decisions on a week to week basis. We always worked out all the scenarios in order to keep myself and Jeanne safe and that included the week where we voted out Shawna in order to protect her because I had won immunity.
2. Well, I was trying to reach out to you to see what you were thinking in a friendly laid-back way, to make sure that when you were voting, I was someone you didn't see as a threat to you and you might throw your votes at Jenna and/or Jeanne if they didn't have immunity instead of me. I didn't really see you having much of a plan aside from wanting Jeanne and Jenna out really badly, so maybe it didn't go over so well, but I thought it was worth talking to you to see if you had any alternative solutions (especially if you won immunity in the round that Jeanne won, I needed to protect myself from the vote because I wasn't sure if it would've ended up a tie or not). Anyway, I think you knew as well as anyone else knew that if you wanted to make it to the finals, you were going to have to win out, which is probably why you are so irritated about the results of the immunity challenge that got you eliminated. I was clearly not very successful appearing genuine to you, but I was honestly just seeing how you felt about things, but your plan to vote out Jenna, for example, was pretty pointless because I knew she had the idol.
3. I was very impressed by the time that Jeanne managed to get on the puzzle challenge tie-breaker. I tried very hard on the word search and completed it first, so it was a little surprising that it went to a puzzle tiebreaker. I know that my best time was 7 minutes and I consider myself to be pretty good at puzzles (if you recall, I won the other puzzle immunity challenge thanks to the cripple power), so to get the time she got was pretty crazy to me. I don't know if she cheated or not, I would think that the host would do everything to make sure it wasn't cheating, but it was an incredible time, especially with rotations. I could barely move 80 pieces into place without rotations in 2 minutes, so...I guess that's between the Survivor gods and Jeanne. I do know that she wanted you out very badly, so whether she would resort to cheating...well, I don't want to speculate, but it was a pretty unreal time.
4. Destroy the jury hey? Hmm, well, okay. Let's see what we can do.
Matthew had no social game, he was happy with getting voted out, he didn't even bother to try to save himself from being the next guy voted out. To me, Survivor is all about surviving votes and if I were in his position, I would've at least tried to talk to all the women and maybe get an in, at least someone like Butch made an honest effort with it. He just took his axe to the head like the lummox he is.
Butch had the right idea, but he completely failed at realizing what the situation was. Instead of making himself look like a non-issue, he showed himself to be a strong threat and had no adaptability whatsoever when he was placed in a different situation. Some of the girls were even chattering about throwing a challenge so we could eliminate him. He came across as the strongest member of your tribe in the team game, and he set himself up to fail pretty hard because of it. His lack of being able to adapt to various situations led to his demise.
Deena liked to start fights and she was very emotional about her position in the game. Instead of seeing the game through to the end, she made a last ditch effort to help her situation by voting with the men and then ended up quitting for outside life issues. I think she saw the writing on the wall and would rather have quit than been voted out, so I think she had too much pride for her own good.
Shawna was quiet as a mouse and I think she trusted the wrong people, she might have been a little gullible. I think she had a similar game to my own, but lacked the ability to win the challenges she needed to win, so she became expendable to the women. I don't know why everyone thought you had an idol, btw, I don't know if someone started that rumour up on our side to make us paranoid or what...
Joanna, I don't think she was able to read situations very well. In the vote that she went home, she decided to vote for Jenna instead of me, which shocked me, because I thought everyone and their dog knew that Jenna had an immunity idol. Having said that, she stuck to what she said and went along with your vote, whereas I voted out Joanna with Jenna, and I think that round Jeanne self-voted. It seemed like a no-brainer to me that Joanna would've voted for me and we would've been at your mercy for the vote, but I felt pretty fortunate to dodge that bullet.
Ryan, you're pretty grumpy, I think you might need a bit more coffee in your diet. It was hard to talk to you because you always seemed angry about everything that happened in this game and you never really had a clear idea as to what you wanted to do. You threw your votes at people like hate crimes, instead of thinking strategically, like throwing something against a wall and hoping it stuck. You were lucky that you were so strong at challenges, otherwise you would've probably went home much sooner.
Jenna, you seemed to complain a lot about what was happening in the game. At times during the live challenge you were becoming visually frustrated and whining about various circumstances. I think that at times you were exasperated with the way the challenges were going and maybe you realized that you needed to win the final challenge in order to make it here, but yeah, a bit of a complainer.
