First of all, congrats to both of you for sitting where you are now. As I was the last person to join the jury, I got to play with you two the most out of all the jury members, and as such, I have a pretty good idea of how both of you played. That being said, I have ALMOST made up my mind on who to vote for, but it can be changed. Here is what I want from both of you:
1. Give me two paragraphs, no more, no less on why I should vote for you. Sell yourself to me and tell me why I should cast my vote for you to win.
2. Pick two jury members that you think should be sitting there instead of you two, and why.
3. Compare each jury member to a color and explain why you chose that color for them
Thats all I want from you. Good luck.

Erik,
You know I am going to be harder on you. We aligned very early in this game, in fact, for me it was before I aligned with John, Dave and Russell S. So the things I want to know are:
#1 Who was your first ally? Believe it or not, my first ally in this game was technically Shambo. Shambo literally PMed the day the game started and said she wanted to work with me. I told her I'd have her back but in the back of my mind I knew it wasn't going to be an alliance I could really rely on. That became very clear when she became inactive later on. My first real ally though was you, Natalie. From the moment we became allies I knew I could trust you implicitly. And I was right. I never had any reason to doubt you. The thought never crossed my mind until we reached the final 5. After Challenge 13 where the jury was given the power to choose who they wanted to see win the challenge and who they wanted to see lose it, it became very clear to me that you were very well liked by the jury. I knew I had two choices at that point: I could remain true to my alliance with you and John and know I'd never win against either of you or I could get Marisa and Mick to vote with me to take you out and at least have a chance of winning the game if I made the final 2 - obviously I went with the latter. It was by far the hardest decision I had to make in this game. [/quote] You're right, I did lie to you in that conversation. I actually never blamed John though, I only suggested that it could have been him who had voted for you when you asked me why I thought Marisa had voted for you. The reason I didn't come clean was because I didn't know you already knew I had voted for you. The host didn't count my vote for that tribal council and I thought for sure you were going to win that tiebreaker challenge. So, I was only trying to keep the attention off of me. I knew if I came clean it would only motivate even more to win that tiebreaker. I never set out to lie to you about anything and had all the votes been counted in that tribal council, the incident would have never happened. I apologize for not coming clean. [/quote] Brett - A very strong player that I wish I had gotten the chance to get to know. I never spoke with him at all during the game and not being around much after the merge didn't help much either. Jaison - Seems like a nice guy but played the game too hard too quickly. Ashley - A misunderstood player. Even though we were in another game together we never really connected in this game at all. Dave - A loyal ally and strong competitor. It was great playing this game with you. Natalie - The best ally you could ask for. I know you'd be in the final 2 right now if I hadn't betrayed you. Marisa - A really sweet girl with a big heart. John - A great guy that I wish I had spoken with more. [/quote] I would say voting Ashley out was the easiest for me. We had never spoken at all in this game so I really had no reason to feel bad about voting her out. [/quote] Without question, the hardest vote was when I voted you out. We were allies from the beginning of the game and I felt really bad that I was betraying you even though I knew it was something I had to do. [/quote] 1. John 2. Natalie 3. Dave 4. Brett 5. Marisa 6. Jaison 7. Ashley [/quote] That's a no-brainer - Nat #2 of course!  |

1. Give me two paragraphs, no more, no less on why I should vote for you. Sell yourself to me and tell me why I should cast my vote for you to win. I know I have not played a perfect game but I think I have played well enough to deserve the win. I remained loyal to my alliance and only made the decision to turn on them when I knew I had to if I wanted a chance at winning this game. I believe the only time I lied in this game was the incident mentioned in Natalie's questions. My social game wasn't great but I did my best to communicate with the people I was aligned with. My biggest move in the game was taking the opportunity to get Marisa and Mick to help me vote Natalie out. I was never inactive during the game except for when I was sick right after the final merge. I always fought hard on the challenges and I won some very important ones that largely helped me get to this point. Another thing that helped me get here was luck. There were several times when I got very lucky. Things just seemed to work out for me when I needed them to. I relied a lot on my alliance to get me further in the game and it worked for me. I wasn't the most strategic player but I always had my eye on the prize. I may not have played the most complete game but I think my game was pretty good. I'd have to say you and Natalie. Natalie, as I mentioned in another post, had a big hand in getting the alliance together and she played a very good social game. John, you played a great social game as well and you made some good strategic moves that got you really close to the end. Brett - Red simply because of how angry he got after he was voted out. Jaison - Gray because he never showed too much emotion. Ashley - White because she is very hard to read. Dave - Purple because he was a loyal ally. Natalie - Orange because she has a warm personality and is so easy to talk to. Marisa - Pink because she is a total sweetheart. John - Blue because you are a strong competitor but also very friendly. Thanks John!  |

1. Tell me who you voted out each tribal council and why and how much you played a part in each persons departure (includeing pre jury) ?
2. Compare the members of the jury , your oppenant and yourself to a real life player of survivor or a reality tv show .

1. Give me two paragraphs, no more, no less on why I should vote for you. Sell yourself to me and tell me why I should cast my vote for you to win.
I had a much tougher time reaching the finals. Every move i made in respects to allies and votes at tribal councils helped me further myself in the game knowing if i didnt reach it here it wouldnt have been worth it.I had coem to the merge as a quiet but one of the stronger members of my original tribe were I had a few allies and then from the switch getting close to john i madea few more. I then had to pick a side and I picked the side i thought would win.
Ther two I feel i betrayed teh most was Brett and Ashley although there was never an official alliance. Howver since their departure i stayed loyal especially to myself. Erik did approch me in voting Nat which John and Nat were unaware of. My best move i guess was warning Nat and John of Erik and Marisa and teh reason i so was pissed at that tc is because the votes would have gone very different if counted. I wasnt the challenge whore or power player and mastermind and my social skills were average but i survived passed were i would have if i didnt play how i did.
2. Pick two jury members that you think should be sitting there instead of you two, and why.
John. If i had won that final challenge would you have been here. But I loved the way you played the game. It was very honest and i would have voted for you to win.
Going to have to say Nat. Because she is so bueatiful. She played a very loud game, she was always making herself heard.
3. Compare each jury member to a color and explain why you chose that color for them
Brett - Red. A very powerful colour like they you went out of the game.
Jaison - Black. When i think of black i think of ninjas from the first time was spoke i suspected you to be a ninja. You were sneaky like a ninja, i didnt no what you ahd planed.
Ashley - Pink. Its so pretty and girly and innocent.
Dave - White. I find it to be neutral colour and i thought of you as a very neutral player who really put themself in the game.
Natalie - Yellow. your like the sunshine. When you shine everyone is happy, when your gone it gets dull and sad.
Marisa - Orange. You were very warm like the colour.
John - Green. If the earth wasnt so green it would be brown. Your down to earth and an important player to this game like green is to earth.
That was harder then what it looked. Thanks John.

1. Tell me who you voted out each tribal council and why and how much you played a part in each persons departure (includeing pre jury) ? - I voted out Betsy. I knew from a previous game we were in together and I wanted her out right away. After our tribe lost the immunity challenge I approached Russell, Natalie, Shambo and Jaison with the idea of voting Betsy out. They all went for it and Natalie also told me that you were going to vote for Betsy as well. Tribal Council #2 - I voted for Shambo. It was a tribe decision to vote Shambo out because she had become inactive. Even though we had made an agreement to watch each other's backs, I voted her out anyway. I wasn't going to be the only one who voted differently. Tribal Council #3 - I voted for Elizabeth. This was an alliance decision. You had told me Ben would be voting with us and we also got Marisa to vote with us as well. This sealed our alliance's safety until the merge because Marisa had agreed to vote for Russell with us at the next tribal council. Tribal Council #4 - I voted for Russell. Once again, an alliance decision. Marisa voted with us again. Tribal Council #5 - I voted for Ben. Ben had been the reason we lost the immunity challenge. When he did come online he asked us to vote him out anyway because he was having problems with his internet connection. So, this was an easy vote. Tribal Council #6 - I got a self-vote in this one. This was the only tribal council that I did not cast a vote in and that was only because I had been sick and wasn't online for a few days. Tribal Council #7 - I voted for Jaison. Natalie and I had talked about the vote and agreed that Jaison could not be trusted. Natalie also told me she sent a PM to Marisa to get her to vote Jaison with us. Tribal Council #8 - I voted for Ashley. This was another alliance decision. Ashley was simply just another player outside of our alliance. Tribal Council #9 - I voted for you, Dave. John had first suggested Marisa's name for this vote and I had suggested Mick. But then John told me that he and Natalie had talked and that they wanted Marisa and I to go to the final four with them and to vote you out because you were a challenge threat. I thought it was a good idea so I went along with it. Tribal Council #10 - I voted for Natalie but it wasn't counted. I voted for Natalie a second time in the re-vote. I knew Natalie would win in the final tribal council against anyone so I approached Marisa and Mick with the plan to vote Natalie and John out with me. The only reason I was able to succeed in getting Natalie out was because of the re-vote. Tribal Council #11 - I voted for Mick. I had approached John and asked him if he would for Mick. He said he would for Mick and I already knew Marisa was voting for Mick as well. Tribal Council #12 - I voted for John. This was a tough decision for me but in the end I thought my chances against Mick would at least be a little better than they would have been against John. Brett - Gabriel Cade from Survivor Marquesas. Gabriel was seen as physical threat and voted out because of that. That is essentially the same reason Brett was voted out. Jaison - Russell H. from Survivor Samoa. Jaison started the game by making alliances with almost everyone on our tribe just like Russell did on the show. Ashley - Tanya Vance from Survivor Thailand. Tanya was voted out early and we didn't get to see much of her. We didn't get too see much of Ashley after the final merge. Dave - Kaysar Ridha from Big Brother 6. Kaysar was very capable of winning challenges and was also very loyal to his allies just like you were in this game. Natalie - Kelly Goldsmith from Survivor Africa. Natalie is very likeable and can also be a challenge threat. Kelly was like that too. Marisa - Colleen Haskell from Survivor Borneo. Marisa is really sweet but not a huge threat in challenges a lot like Colleen was. John - Will Kirby from Big Brother 2. John was a great strategist and stayed loyal to his allies much like Will. Erik - Jeff Schroeder from Big Brother 11. Jeff stayed loyal to his allies but if he felt he had to betray them to get himself further he was willing to do it. I think my game play was similar to that. Mick - Colby Donaldson from Survivor Australia. Mick didn't win a lot of challenge like Colby but he kept himself safe any way he could. Colby always managed to find a way to keep himself safe even when he didn't have immunity. Hope this helps you out, Dave! |

1. Tell me who you voted out each tribal council and why and how much you played a part in each persons departure (includeing pre jury) ? ---------------- Original Tribe ---------------- TC. 3: Kelly. She was one of the least active and didnt help so it made alot of sence to get here of then. 4 people voted her but we decided together. -------------------- Switched Tribed -------------------- TC. 5: Yasmin. If memory serves me right, she did poor at challenges so it was a group choice. Like everyone but monica who voted heself voted yas, even herself. TC. 7: Monica. Again it was just the easiest vote. ------------------ Merged Tribed ------------------ TC. 9: brett. I needed away of saving myself and i heard bretts name so its what i went with that. He was strong too, tahts why his name came up. TC. 10: Jasion. Looking back at pm's, it was dave and nat that mentioned Jasion. As he had tried to make alot of allies. TC. 11: Ashley. It was either me or ashley. She was alittle more unpridictable then me and was an more of an outsider. TC. 12: dave. I had spoken to John and nat about the vote, and agree to their decision. I was the last "outsider" so i need to vote dave to keep me her. TC. 13: Marisa/self. I original voted marisa so me John and nat could go to final three. I actually had alot to do with this vote. I could have voted nat but i told nat and john of erik and marisa. It turned out nat left as our voted didnt count  TC. 14: Marisa. I was much closer with John then with erik and marisa. So i voted with john to tie it knowing i would win the tie challenge. 2. Compare the members of the jury , your oppenant and yourself to a real life player of survivor or a reality tv show I am an aussie. So survivor is harder to catch here on our telly. I will amitt i havnt watch all seasons and i barly reemebr the casts even of the one i am currently watching. So i will compare to my favourite charactors: Brett - JT of Tocantins. I didnt like JT at first, and i misunderstood you. But were strong and you could of won easy. Jasion- I think of brandon synnott of tocantins and his allies making ways, very sneaky. Ashley- Becky lee of cooks island. I believe you just played as becky which is why it came to me, but becky got through by knowing the right people, as if you made it as far as she, would of been the same situation. Dave - Tyson Apostol of Tocantins. Ran to hard to fast. I dont no why i liekd him so much, but i actally liked you to for no reason too. Would could have clicked easy. Nat- Jamie Dugan of China. Both sweet hearts and both went out in ugly ways fake idol and tie breaker gone wrong, yuck! Marisa- Amanda Kimmal of China. You remind me of a player who i call amanda, who reminds me of amanda. in all i love amanda and i think i could have like you very much if i gave you the chance. John - James Clement. Everyone loves james and your very loved yourself. I think both played a very striaght forward game. Erik- Sorry i dont have one, but you are the ultimate player! you have played this games so well, its will be hard for me to bet you now  Mick- John K of Vanuatu. Both "cool kids" but both very lazy. |

I still need votes from Natalie, Ashley, and Jaison. Ashley is the only one who hasn't logged on in a while. If anyone is in any other games with her, please tell her that she needs to vote. I will try to catch her on AIM.
