1. Before tribal, I have approached Chrissa and I told her that she might go home that night. Because of that, I asked her if she is willing to work with me had she survived. Having a deal with Chrissa was crucial since you, Marc, and Mihai would have been together then. I don’t think I would be the target at final 6 since I still have Josh beside me. Since I might have extra few days, I would use this to solidify my deal with you about us working together. I would try to convince you that Mihai is more of a threat and needs to go. If Josh wins immunity at Final 6, I would try to turn the votes against you or Mihai and work with Josh and Chrissa to the end. If I couldn’t do that, I would try to convince people to go to rocks for me. Since Josh have immunity, Chrissa would only have a 1/3 chance of going home and your group would have had a better of odds of losing to the rocks.

2. Every single tribal council, I go in like I was about to go home. I think this is a defense mechanism for me to maybe soften the blow if I ever get blindsided. That said, I felt serious danger of getting voted out at Final 5. Josh won immunity at that vote and I was worried that Mihai, Marc, and Chrissa have formed an original Krill alliance against me and Josh and I would have been out then.

3. a.      I think Ci’ere, Ivan, and Uli ahould be in the cover.

Ci’ere - I think it’s a no-brainer why he deserves to be in it. He was certainly the most entertaining player this season and his never give up attitude deserves a special mention.

Ivan – Had Ivan survived his voteout, he would have played a massive role in the merge. His ability to convince people to follow him speaks a lot about his social game which is why he deserves a spot.

Uli – Uli’s style of play warrants a spot in the DVD cover. His aggressive gameplay and ability to not fear making big moves on his own would make a very entertaining season. This is why he deserves to be in the cover.

3. b.      The top seven players are as follows (ordered in their placement):

1-3 (in alphabetical order): Josh, JR, and Mihai.

Just because we made it to final tribal council doesn’t mean we were the best players this season. However, I believe each of us were one of the top players this season because we have managed to control several votes to our own advantage.

4: Andrew

You are one of the top players since you have managed to allow people to trust you and have avoided target for a long time. Had your plan worked, I believe that you would have made it all the way to end and if I was voted out, you would receive my vote. Your social game allowed you to integrate into different alliances and you have managed to not anger anyone despite making moves against people.

5: Ci’ere

Ci’ere’s loud and aggressive game is an amazing decoy against his actual sneaky and highly strategic game. His never give up attitude helped him make several moves for his advantage (such as Ivan’s blindside) and he is not afraid to call out people when he believes they are doing something against him.

6: Ivan

Ivan’s great social and strategic game hides his equally great physical game. Despite being such a physical player, he was only targeted because of his threat socially and strategically. I believe that Ivan has managed to have people trust him so well that they were willing to sacrifice their game just for him.

7: John <p class="MsoNormal">Despite getting voted out pre-merge, John’s unbelievable social game deserves a special mention. He could make people comfortable whenever they talk to him. I have said this time and again but I still believe that had he made the merge, he would have dominated and controlled it.
