Hey, you guys! You played great and congratulations on making it to the end. I have no hard feelings or bitterness at all, but I may have some hard questions because I want to vote for the best of the best! I have my vote pretty much set on one person, but maybe one of the other two of you can change that. Leslie- Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in you right now. Why? Because I do feel like you kinda rode the alliance out for most of the game. And you are saying you deserve to win because of the Amanda blindside and whatever. Well, I'm disappointed because I orchestrated all of that to save my ass and you went along with it. And I also told you it would be best to vote Aras off the next round. So please don't answer my question with either of those two votes. What vote did you orchestrate and totally have control over? And what was your best strategic move? Darrah-I honestly think you played great and really respect your gameplay. I think you overcame a lot of odds with your winner status, and I noticed you as the leader of our alliance for quite some time. I was just waiting for the best moment to vote you out. But that moment never ended up coming! So, what I would like to hear from you is, what are three things you regret in this game? James- To be honest, I never really thought about voting you out. You were a nice guy, but that seemed to be the only layer of your strategy. It seemed to me you rode the coat-tails of your foursome alliance to the end. So, prove me wrong. What votes did you control as part of your alliance? Good luck everyone!  |

Thanks Syd  You know, we always agree on the decisions we make together. So, I never want to control the decisions that it has become a decision approved by the members of our alliance. One thing I do not want to happen is Carolina going home before the jury. Yes, sorry amanda. I know you don't really like her but she's still my friend in real life. So that time,i didn't vote for her and let myself receive a self vote. [TC #7] and i did it, she's still in the game. Next round, I really want to try to influence my alliance members not to vote for her. But it seems they wouldn't agree with it, esp Amanda. So sadly i had to vote for her and she became the 1st member of the jury. and i did it again, she's in the jury! |

What vote did you orchestrate and totally have control over? And what was your best strategic move? The vote I had control over, albeit a little control, was Burton. We were on the same tribe, but I never communicated with him that much, so when the double Tribal Council occurred, and Aras had Immunity, I voted for Burton instead of you, because we had talked more and I trusted you more than him. Sure, it wasn't a vote I had total "control" over, but I figured you would use your Idol and that would be enough to get Burton out, which it was. My best strategic move was being able to be flexible with my alliances, and not sticking with the same one throughout. I sided with Carolina, Frosti, Aras & Austin to get Nick out before the jury, mainly because I wanted to be safe, but also because I didn't want Carolina to not be in the Jury, and have an inactive in the Jury. Then I went back with you, Darrah, James, Amanda and Burton to get Carolina, Frosti and Austin out, but after the Burton vote-off, I realized that I needed another plan, and there you were with joining you and Aras to get Amanda out. After Amanda went, I realized that having Aras in the end would mean certain doom for anyone sitting alongside him, so I went back to the original alliance to get him and you out. Was I the "mastermind" behind everything? Probably not, but it doesn't mean I didn't think of the same thing. |

Okay, I'm just going to tell you guys why I am not satisfied with your answers. I'm not trying to be mean, and I love all of you, but I want to vote for the best of the best. And I will do this to Darrah too if I am not totally satisfied with her answers. This way, you guys have a chance to defend yourselves in front of the jury and make another plea about why you should win.
James- If you were really on Survivor, if you had to make a hard decision or vote, you can't just vote for yourself. You self-voted so you wouldn't make Carolina or your alliance mad. That is taking the easy way out; and honestly, I don't want to vote for a sole survivor whose strategy consisted of voting for himself whenever he came across a hard decision.
Leslie- I am a little bit confused about how you had control over the Burton vote. I never told you that I was voting for Burton, and when I asked you how you were voting, you replied with "I don't know". So how was that strategically planned when you didn't know I was voting Burton? The only reason I voted Burton was because Darrah was playing both sides and told me that you were voting Burton. And I thought it was Darrah that voted Burton with me, until I talked to you the next round and you said you voted Burton with me. Because that is when I turned on the Darrah/Amanda/James alliance and told you that they will be the final 3 unless we do something about it, and we played too hard to go out 4th and 5th.

So, what I would like to hear from you is, what are three things you regret in this game?
The three things I regret most. One honestly when I told u leslie was voting burton. I regret not telling burton to play his idol cause that would of saved him at f7. Two I regret having to vote u out at the f4 because u know I <3 u but u were my biggest threat left in the game. And thirdly even though Nick went inactive for a while when we first merged I regret not communicating better with Leslie and letting her know everyone was on board cause I don't think he would of been voted out that tribal. Other than those three things I think I played a pretty good game. And sorry it took me so long to answer <3

Hence why I used the quotation marks over the word "control." No one was telling me what was going on, so I went on my own and told Darrah that I was going to vote for Burton, and I figured she would tell you that the vote was for Burton in hopes that you wouldn't use your idol.
