Hey!


Hayden is finally here to speak, and after spending so much time on the jury, I'm more datable than ever! Ya hear that, Purple Kelly? ;) She's looking hotter on the jury than Katie did. We'll see what happens later tonight...

BUT FIRST!

I wanna congratulate all three of you on making it to the end of this game! While Big Brother was pretty much a cakewalk, this game has been pretty brutal. Many of the frontrunners this season are seated here next to me, and you three are the only ones who remain! It puts a grin on my overly whitened teeth, although I'm admittedly jealous not to be there myself. Rumor has it that this is the part where I'm supposed to address each of you.

Yul, you know I gotta start with you, buddy, because you know exactly what I'm going to say. The night I was voted out, you said, unprompted by me, that you would never consider voting me out (that night) and that you were sticking by my side. I'm not mad that you did vote me out, as we talked about I did know it was a possibility, but if you don't get my vote in this final tribal it's because of that one statement you decided to make.

1. I did see in the other thread that you did regret how you handled that, which was nice to read, but I still have a question: In a game based on trust, why should I give my vote to someone who wanted to present himself one way, but acted completely different? Are you all talk, no action? You can't use the excuse that it wasn't your decision because our talk happened only a couple hours before results, meaning you knew what was coming.

2. If Sebou had to go to another pre-merge tribal council, who would you have voted for? Who would have gone home?

3. Give me some honest feedback about what you thought about Peter's monolouge/question. It was somethin, wasn't it?


Charlie! I think that Eddie getting voted out was the best thing that happened to you all game. Congrats on making it to the end! I'm incredibly proud to see two Dadès members in the end, but if you want my vote you're going to have to earn it. There are some tough questions that I need to ask you:

1. If Dadès had gone to another pre-merge Tribal, who would you have voted for? Who would have gone home?

2. You were the captain of Dades, but who would you say was the leader? You? Eddie? Jtia?

3. People are criticizing your opening statement, saying you gave us more reasons to NOT vote for you than to award you with a vote. Is there anything you want to reframe from that opener?


Jonathan you may not know this, but I did not like you starting out in this game! The first week of the game you were very quiet, and then when you did kinda appear you were very heavy-handed and obvious in your desire to make an alliance. I kept distance from you because I thought you were going to Angie. Surprisingly to me, you managed to get yourself in the majority alliance in Dades, and I had to bust my ass to just stick around. That was impressive to me. You are a good guy, for sure, but I need to ask you more questions:

1. This was vaguely addressed in another question, but I wanna go there again, who would have been your ideal final three as you progressed through this merge? Think about what your general plan would have been, and tell me whenabouts you would have dumped any Dadès member that you weren't taking to the end.

2. Do you think your chances are hurt by having Charlie in the finals with you? If someone was trying to decide between you two, why should you get the vote?

3. What did you honestly think of Bill's comments in his thread? Insightful or assholeish?


Everyone this season was awesome, and I even love the people who I went after in this post. Best of luck, finalists!

Are you all talk, no action? You can't use the excuse that it wasn't your decision because our talk happened only a couple hours before results, meaning you knew what was coming.

The problem with the vote was I knew what was coming but I couldn't change it without my head being put on the line. I do apologize for the way I acted that vote, I shouldn't have promised that I wasn't going to vote for you. I did really want to work with you going forward in the game, I just didn't know how you stood in Dadès or how the dynamics were. I learned from my mistake and didn't repeat it in the future. What I did was wrong, and I regret it. You were a cool dude and I hope you can forgive me for it and try to look at the merits of my game. It was my only regret in this game, and I do apologize for it.

2. If Sebou had to go to another pre-merge tribal council, who would you have voted for? Who would have gone home?

I feel like I would have tried to feel out Marissa on that vote. If she came to me and was solid about wanting to work with me and bill it's something I'd really consider. I wouldn't have voted for Bill but if I voted for ken/kelly at that time, if I merge came they wouldn't trust working with me in the future. I feel like the results would be the same as the double sausage link round. I wanted the option to work with both bill and ken/kelly going forward.

3. Give me some honest feedback about what you thought about Peter's monolouge/question. It was somethin, wasn't it?

Honestly, it was a bit long too read and write but I enjoyed it. It's a pretty unconventional question and I think that originality is cool when it comes to these type of questions since a lot of the time the same questions get asked. I really do like music, it's probably one of my biggest interests in life so I felt it was nice to get my chance to express some of my creativity/writing skills.

Hey Hayden. Thank you for your questions. I know I was a little quiet the first week, but that goes back to my working those 80 hour weeks, but I know there are no excuses. Anyways, on to your questions.

1. This was vaguely addressed in another question, but I wanna go there again, who would have been your ideal final three as you progressed through this merge? Think about what your general plan would have been, and tell me whenabouts you would have dumped any Dadès member that you weren't taking to the end.

As I progressed through the merge, an ideal situation would have been Dadès controlling all of the votes until we were left as the Final 5, where I would have, to be very honest, likely targeted you and Charlie to go, leaving Eddie, J'Tia, and I as a Final 3 because I feel like those are the two Dadès I was closest to at the beginning of the merge. This would have been ideal because things would have just been simple and I would have gotten to play the entire game with those that I started with, which would have been a cool experience. But, as we know, this is Survivor and 'ideal' doesn't exist. However, I had a good time adapting to the challenges and changes in the season, and it made it all the more interesting.



2. Do you think your chances are hurt by having Charlie in the finals with you? If someone was trying to decide between you two, why should you get the vote?

I think from a simplistic perspective, yes, having Charlie in the finals with me could be dangerous, because if tribal lines still meant anything at all, we could split the Dadès votes while Yul takes all the Sebou votes. But that's just looking at everything face value.

If one was trying to decide between Charlie and I, I would encourage them to evaluate our gamplay. While I think it takes a good game regardless to make the finals, and as much as I love Charlie, I do feel that I played a better, more aware game than Charlie. I always stayed one step ahead, forming an alliance with Betsy, JR, Ken, Kelly and J'tia without Charlie being aware of it. I knew that I had to gain the trust of the Sebous, so I voted for Eddie while Charlie remained against the majority. I think that, overall, I was more aware throughout the game and played an overall better game than Charlie as well.

3. What did you honestly think of Bill's comments in his thread? Insightful or assholeish?

Haha, I don't think I would call it insightful OR assholeish, to be honest. I think it was his opinion, and his opinion is his opinion. While I may disagree with some of the things he had to say, I would never disrespect someone's own opinion. As Bill mentioned, the two of us never had much of a relationship, so I think that he has less insight into how I played the game than others, so it makes sense as to why he would say the things that he did. But, regardless, I don't think he was being an asshole.

Thanks for the congrats, Hayden! You're probably right about Eddie leaving and me being better for it, but I don't have to like that fact.


1. If Dadès had gone to another pre-merge Tribal, who would you have voted for? Who would have gone home?

I would have voted for you, Hayden. J'Tia, Jonathan, Eddie and I had a core alliance that I wouldn't have turned my back on at any point in the game. I also want to say you would have gone home at that point as well.

2. You were the captain of Dades, but who would you say was the leader? You? Eddie? Jtia?

Even though I've said I thought there wasn't really a leader, and that we all worked together with equal partnership... I want to say it was J'Tia. I think she had a firm grasp on all of our balls, and wasn't going to let go for anything.

3. People are criticizing your opening statement, saying you gave us more reasons to NOT vote for you than to award you with a vote. Is there anything you want to reframe from that opener?

Probably about the equal partnership statement since I just said I felt J'Tia was the leader, but other than that, to be honest, no. I feel like what I said in my opening was the truth as I saw it then. I also didn't put everything I ever did in the opening for a reason, I wanted questions about my game and not jury comparisons (no offense, Peter). I feel like I got what I wanted from most of the jury thus far, but especially when Eddie asked for a synopsis of the season that showcased me in a winners edit, which is now posted.



Thanks for the questions, Hayden, let me know if there is anything else.
