'''Ok chieko. Let's get into it and like you said I'll go raw, no sugar-coating. I'm sorry if it looked like I was kissing ass (am I kissing ass again? hmmm...) '''

Did you manage to play a good Perfect Game, even if you never got targeted during the game? How so, and how it did affect you?

'''I'm not sure I understand that question perfectly. Are you talking about going into the game without getting any vote and then win unanimously? Is that kind of perfect game you're talking about? If so I just want to say about that that if I never got targeted during the game part of that was probably luck (cause we all have luck or not, just cause of twist or swap) but it was also cause I made sure I was the never the one either on the top or the bottom of the totem pole. I was always thinking a step ahead thinking about what would be best for the other players like Nick, I knew it was his best bet to go against my alliance at 7. So I made sure I had immunity that day and I voted him out. My game wasn't perfect on the definition of the word but I feel like it was solid. I hope I did enough so that you guys feel good enough about me winning to vote for me at the end. I would be really proud that's for sure.''' - How did you manage to get to the Final Tribal Council, apart from winning three immunity challenges that kept you safe and your loyalty to both Lex and Courtney?

'''First, I know I have won three immunities but I also went to three more tribal councils then Zack for example. And it's one thing to win immunities but you also have to survive when you don't have one and I'm the only person in this game to have survived more than one tribal councils after winning individual(s) immunity(ies) like X was voted out just after, Nick only survived one and lex was voted out right after winning his two. So I would say my social game helped me for that. Now how did I manage to get to final tribal, well yes I had an alliance with Courtney and Lex but I also had one with Matisse at the beginning. And me having an alliance with Nathan, Matt and Matisse made sure that I was not Matt's target at the second vote. Then I feel like I bonded with Tom also at the swap. So in a way yes I was loyal to Lex and Courtney but I was never resting on my ass doing nothing. And like I said in the previous question, sometimes to get to the end it's not about what do I do, it's more what i'm not. I was always thinking what will get me to the next round in the best position. Sometimes it's going hard on the challenge, sometimes is targeting hard someone AND sometimes it's about being able to show some restraint to not be targeted. ''' - Had not you won any of those individual immunity challenges, do you still think you would be sitting in the Finale?

'''What I think is that for the first two immunities, I still think I would have had a shot at sitting in the Finale. Am I saying going there without any votes, maybe not but I do feel I still could have been here. Now for the final 4 immunity, obviously it was a crucial one for everybody but for me it was more about making sure Lex and Zack were not getting it. I think if I didn't win and let's say Courtney or Lex won, I still think I would have been sitting here. If Zack won, then I feel like I could have been here anyway maybe from a tie vote if Zack decided to vote me over lex.''' - What moves or decisions you've made so far that doesn't involve Lex or your Lothal 3.0 alliance with him and Courtney?

'''I want to be clear and honest about that. It's true that my whole game was very much linked to Lex, Courtney and the Lothal 3.0. I never tried to hide that and I understand why you guys are thinking that. But what I want to say about this is that I did that on purpose. From the moment, I realize that people were targeting Lex and not me on that Byron vote, I understood that I needed to use Lex as a shield as much as possible. I knew that the risks were that people would think I was just following Lex as a little puppet (even though we were always discussing our strategies and options the same way I did with Courtney). But I was willing to do it cause I knew that whenever he was around there was always going to be a name thrown around before mine. Sure I could have voted Lex out earlier and blindside  the Lethal 3 alliance but it would have exposed me and it was crucial for me to strike at the right moment. Everyone that was going big like Nick or you or Nathan were being targeted immediatly. So for me it was a game move, some of you might think Lex was controlling me but I was using Lex as much. But it was important that I was always keeping my options open to make sure that I was never the back-up plan. So outside of the lex and lothal-3; In the pre-merge part, I had a two alliance with Matisse that was very strong in case the lex thing was going to stick and in the merge I tried to maintain a working strategic relationship with you as much as possible without shrinking my game. I would have been open to vote Zack over you when you got home, but everybody wanted you out and I wasn't going to wreck my game for your. The lex vote out was also something from me (and courtney to a degree) that wasn't lex neither lothal 3.'''

- Had you tried to orchestrate any blindsides by yourself, apart from taking part and not taking any action on it?

'''The Lex blindside was orchestrated by me. I'm not gonna lie and say that I never talked about it ealier than final 4 with Courtney. But the actual blindside was very much me coming to Zack to told him to vote for Courtney (knowing cause he told me that Lex was avoiding him cause he was voting him out) and making sure lex thought it was still the Lethal 3.0 voting for mark then making sure courtney was still on board with the Lex vote.''' - Why did you decide to take out Mark at Final Six, when you could have beaten him if you brought him to the end? Why you also thought that he could have won against you, and how did you consider him as a Big Threat to your game? Do you think if you went for that scenario, you will still have a chance on winning a Perfect Game against Mark and Courtney? Not saying it could be possible for it to happen, but I thought this was your easy path for your game if you could have won.

'''Ok, I'm not gonna say I thought Mark would have beat me. I decided to vote Mark out for multiples reasons. First, I've played survivor before and I've watch multiples seasons of survivor. I think it was proven again and again that I you let some type of player go far into the game they are very likely to get to the end.To make a comparison with one move made by one of survivor greats cirie (not saying I'm cirie level by the way :P) when in panama she voted for Courtney, you could have said why is she doing that, she can beat courtney in the end. But the thing is, everybody else could also and she realized courtney was very likely going to take one spot in the end, one spot that could be her. I felt the same way and that's why I said mark was a big threat for my game. I didn't say he was a big threat in THE game but for mine he was cause of that. The other reason is that I was being left on read by Mark more than a few times. And I though, it's great to have someone you have a higher chance to beat in the end, but at the end where every single vote count more since the number of player remaining is so low, mark was a vote I would never be able to count on. Now if I still went with that scenario with Mark and Courtney, yes I think I would have had a chance for a perfect game but again who knows cause mark was a wildcare and he could really have put a vote on me for no reason so away any chance of perfect vote.'''

- Why did you label me as a Physical and a Strategic threat on your speech? Sure, I didn't do that much focusing on my physical game, but why? Did you also think that XFire and I were a couple?

'''No I didn't think that ahah It was really a joke when I told you that :P As for why I did label you a strategic threat is because mainly of your pre-merge game, I feel like you were in control from what I've heard most of the time. And my personal opinion about your game is that you had the right strategic instincts but you were missing on the delivery.''' - If I had not used my idol at Final Ten, and Adam wasn't idoled out instead, do you think things could have been changed if it wasn't for it, and how long you think Adam would have stayed?

'''Yeah I do think it would have change the game for sure. Your idol play definitely made the game divide in two clear alliance moving forward. I feel like if you would have gone home and adam stayed. It would have been a lot more fluid cause you and nick were the big rivalry up there that made those alliance stayed the way they were. I don't know exactly where Adam would have landed but definitely much further at least like top 7-top 6 I feel.''' - I would like to ask you to make a new Rites of Passage, but only include the whole jury without any sugar-coating on certain people. Most of the stuff you said about their games, on a negative way, looked like you were trying to kiss their asses into voting for you, and I don't respect that.

'''Ok, i'll do it fair and square and bit like Gordon Holmes game of word with eliminated contestant. Adam:  Good social game, robbed. Xfire: strong, subtle. Chieko: over-the-top, true, entertaining. Nick: overplaying, passionate about the game. Mark: invisible. Ace: sneaky, strategic, under the radar. Lex: Trustworthy, triple threat'''

I promise there's no but kissing there and it's strickly what I think

Rank all the seven jury members, in terms on who do you think they should deserve to be sitting right now, and based on their gameplay.

'''1. Lex. 2. Ace. 3. Xfire 4. Adam 5. Chieko 6. Nick  7. Mark''' - If you would replace one of the two finalists with anyone from the Jury, who could it be and why? Do you think you could have a chance in beating any of them?

'''I would pick Mark and replace Zack. Like I said, I feel like it would have been the best scenario for me and I think I could have a chance to beat both of them''' - If you were a jury member, and it's a Final Two between the other two finalists sitting to you, who do you vote for and why?

'''Honestly, I would say it really depends on how I get there. Like if Courtney won final 3 challenge and take me out, I would probable have voted for her cause it would have earn my respect that she was willing to do that. If Zack win final immunity, then I would have been impressed by him and depending on what I would have learn on ponderosa, I could have voted for him.''' - Draw everyone from the Jury. You don't have to draw them all together if you want to, you can also make separate pictures if you wish.

'''I'll do it as a scrapbook if you don't mind. That's the only form of art I'm decent in :P'''

- And lastly, the most important question for the three of you. Why Chieko is the Queen of Mohenjo Daro, and why she was robbed? Do you think you could stand a chance winning against her if she was sitting next to you tonight?

'''You're a queen that's for sure for multiples reasons (entertainment, like I can't wait to read your confessionnal and playing so hard). It was not a question on touchy subject but I feel you're the most likely to get cast on a regular season of survivor. But I don't feel like you were robbed sorry ahaha for this case I think you got outplayed (but that's just me without sugar coating). I just feel like you are destined to crush a return and wipe out all those jury votes. '''

See you! :)
