Hello Gentlemen!!!

First of all, I would like to congratulate each of you for making it to the end! This game was awesome and I had a blast playing it with all three of you. I think each of you is deserving of your spot and I honestly do not know how I am voting at this point. It's rare that as a jury member I wouldn't have a good idea of how I was going to vote, but it really is the case this time. If you would like to receive my vote, then you should show that you were self aware and that you are being honest in answering these questions. Flattery will not win me over :3.

But first, I have a little something to say to each of you.


I think you played a very solid under the radar game, and I have a lot of respect for people who are able to do that because I just don't have it in me to play the game that way. From the final 8 round forward, I think you played pretty flawlessly. However, when I think about the game you played prior to that point I am a little underwhelmed. I can understand the need for patience, but it is hard for me to ignore the critique of passive gameplay when you are sitting beside Jonathan, who I feel flew under the radar but took a very active role to get where he is right now. I am interested to know if you feel you made any distinct moves prior to Bill's elimination (other than simply trying not to be eliminated yourself, since you have covered that in other questions)?

Another question that I have for you specifically has to do with the conversation that we had after Betsy was eliminated and you proposed a final 2 with me. At the time you made this deal you were pretty adamant about being a loyal player, and clearly I bought it hook, line and sinker. I don't have hard feelings about it because I obviously did not play a clean game myself, but I am still interested to know... was this simply you telling me what I wanted to hear? Or do you feel that loyalty is something that characterizes you as a player?


I think your game is very underrated - a lot of people didn't really see the intricacies of how you played the game but I think you really excelled in maintaining the relationships that you needed to in order to advance through each round. Some people have criticized you as being a follower of J'tia but I don't really agree with that claim. I think you were thinking for yourself and that your interests just happened to align with J'tia. But I would still like to know, are there any moves you made throughout the game where you left J'tia in the dark?

One thing I am interested to get more insight into were your plans in the final 5 round. Had Kelly and I not decided to try and take out Charlie, did you intend to take us to the final 4? Or were you going to try and make a move against me regardless of what Kelly and I had done that round? I get the impression that Yul was the motivating force behind that round. Do you feel differently?


The round after Hayden's elimination, I never would have thought you would be sitting in the final 3. You had just used your idol and people perceived you as a huge physical threat. After Eddie was eliminated I felt like you were a dead man walking but round after round you were able to make it through. One of the reasons that I assume I didn't see it coming was that I barely knew you at the time, and since then I have come to learn you are actually quite charming <3. However, I have difficulty pinpointing exactly what it was that got you through those rounds - to what factor would you most attribute your survival throughout merge?

Another thing I am interested to know is if you did not have immunity at final 11 round, did you have any sort of plan in place to try and make sure that it would not be you that was eliminated? I ask mainly because I felt that you would have been a pretty big target.


1. If you to experience the unforutnate fate of Cirie in Micronesia and happened to be sent packing in a surprise final 3 round, who would you give your jury vote to?

2. Which particular round do you think you were in the most danger in the game?

3. What specific quality do you feel you bring to the table that the other two finalists do not?

Not sure what happened with Charlie's question... I'll post it again and hopefully that ugly ass image won't insert itself into my writing :/.

Lex since I see you in here is there any way you can edit my initial post to remove that ugly ass image?

lawl, that's the word filter from the FIC. Removed!

Thanks :3

Hi Ken, thanks for the question man.

I feel like stuff on Sebou was very mellow since I felt like I was always in a good position. I bonded with Bill pretty early on. We got along well and he immediately said he wanted to work with me. I had many people on Sebou wanting to work with me going forward. I knew that sausage links would completely mess up the game I was playing. The more deals you made, the more you could get punished when a link round came up. Links reveal everything, they reveal where you stand in the game and who you value the most. My game was to make people think that I was important to them and that they needed me going forward. I made sure to form good relationships with Betsy, jr, you, kelly, marisa and bill. I had good talks with Katie as well but that never really turned into into anything. Me and bill were swing votes one round, we had the option to go with katie's side one round but instead used it to make a solid alliance that would benefit me throughout the course of the game, and one where I felt like I wasn't the top dog (I didn't want to be seen as running things) but I also wasn't on the bottom. I did my best to put myself in a position I was comfortable with, if shit ever hit the fan I don't think I would have been the first to go. I did my best to get in a position where I was safe going forward and I worked on maintaining my relationships.

For the second part of the question, I'm sorry I had to do this but yes, I knew that in order to get into a position where I controlled my own faith at F5, I had to make you believe that I would go with you/kelly no matter what. My only path to the end at that point was to make you guys believe that I was willing to work with you going forward. If you had doubts about my loyalty I was afraid I could easily be voted out, due to you not knowing where I stood. The move I made was in order to get me to the end. Yes, I lied. But when my back was against the wall I had such few options. That was the only path I saw to get to the end and still have a chance of winning. Like I said earlier, I don't think I could have beaten you or kelly at the end. It wasn't personal at all, it's just the only way I saw myself have a chance to fight for a chance to win at the end.

1. If you to experience the unforutnate fate of Cirie in Micronesia and happened to be sent packing in a surprise final 3 round, who would you give your jury vote to?

Pretty obvious question. Charlie. Jonathan is a goat and hasn't really tried to talk to me about anything this game. Plus his answers to jury questions have been a joke. Yet somehow he thinks he played the 3rd strongest social game out of the jury and f3...awareness my ass.

2. Which particular round do you think you were in the most danger in the game?

The F4, if I didn't win that immunity. Also I believe that Hayden vote it would have easily been me if the idol was played correctly. I was nervous about playing around that to protect myself from going.

3. What specific quality do you feel you bring to the table that the other two finalists do not?

Patience and adaptability. I think I brought myself back from a near unwinable position to the F3. Even though I was on the bottom, I figured out a way to get to the F3. I was always patient in every move I made. I new overly aggressive gameplay could be the end of me in my position. I bought time and saw a path to the end, and I ran with it. I don't know how this F3 tribal council will play out, but I can confidently say that I've fought to get here and I'm proud as hell of the game that I have played.

Thanks for the questions Ken, good luck on your decision dude.

Thank you, Kenneth, for the congrats!

Honestly, if you had asked me then if I thought I saw myself sitting here in the end, when Dadès was clearly outnumbered, I would have laughed at you because I don't know if I would have either.

However, I have difficulty pinpointing exactly what it was that got you through those rounds - to what factor would you most attribute your survival throughout merge?

I feel like the immunity wins I made earlier in the merge and my fairly chill personality when I didn't have immunity got me through the final 11-9. I want to say it was because I was more likable and, using your words, charming, with the people who I was social with at the time. I also feel like the loyalty and honesty I demonstrated earned me a lot of points with players like Betsy. I believe the biggest attribute was that I was in the right place at the right time. Survivor, to me, has to do with a great deal of luck and not just social game and challenge wins. I feel like I had an extraordinary amount of luck on my side in getting to where I am.

Another thing I am interested to know is if you did not have immunity at final 11 round, did you have any sort of plan in place to try and make sure that it would not be you that was eliminated? I ask mainly because I felt that you would have been a pretty big target.

I would like to think if Kelly had won the second half of the Sausage link that round instead of me, Jonathan would have picked J'Tia and J'Tia would have picked me over Eddie. So I would have survived depending on my allies and making assumptions about what their thoughts were if two of Dadès had not won that round.

Assuming Kelly and J.R. had won, I think I could have survived even if I was in danger because I would have tried to keep my cool and try and convince people it would be better to have me around than one of, Eddie, J'Tia or Jonathan, but it's all speculation.


1. If you to experience the unforutnate fate of Cirie in Micronesia and happened to be sent packing in a surprise final 3 round, who would you give your jury vote to?

Oh man, they both said me. Awkward, sorry guys. Um, having read through answers at this point this is extremely difficult but I would give my vote to Yul. One of the larger factors doesn't even come from the answers, it was that he decided to change the game up at the final five even though I told him straight up I was going to vote for him. He wasn't in danger voting with you and Kelly, but he took a chance on me and Jonathan anyway because he wanted to take out people he felt were bigger threats to win.

2. Which particular round do you think you were in the most danger in the game?

I think I was most in danger at the final 9. The round immediately after Eddie left. Winning the Majority Rules luck challenge was a godsend to me because I don't know that I would have survived otherwise. I think it would have been a close call.

3. What specific quality do you feel you bring to the table that the other two finalists do not?

Humility. I'm not afraid to admit when I've been an idiot. I think I botched Kelly's question tbh, but tried to make up for it in Eddie's. I think humility in the mistakes I made and the game I played is the most specific quality I bring to the table that is different.


Thanks so much for the questions, Ken! Good luck with your decision.
