All I can do at this point is trust that people know what’s better for their game since we are so close to the end and any wrong vote could mean a fatal mistake for someone.

It has been a long way since the original tribes, so I dont think those matter much at this point. We were all Moya or Wanani at some point.

Andrew...

1. I never shared a fake clue with you. Never ever! You meant to me something that was too good to be real. I lied to you several times and you still werent mad, and you still shared info with me. You know, I thought it would hard to make people trust me, but it seems my problem this game was for me to trust people. I just couldnt understand how someone would still want to work with me after so many lies on my part, so this is why you were too good to be true. Our bond was both personal and strategic. You had your alliance premerge, so people never suspected us working together, but in the same time we clicked really well on a personal level. Which one was it more?! I think strategic because I didnt saved you when you needed me regardless of my feelings.

2. No, I would have voted for Chrissa only because I wanted to have options and if chrissa would have stayed instead of jamie, then you would have had two people with you and I knew I could convince josh to take jamie out next, so from a strategic perspective, chrissa should have gone if you would have played a viable idol. Chrissa gone at final 7, Jamie at final 6 so I can position myself between you and marc vs jr and josh and be sure everyone needed my vote and also make sure jr and josh dont go for a ferrar final 3, you at final 5, Jr or Marc at 4. Of course, immunity runs could have ruined this plan, but this is how I saw my game at that point and having the idol would have helped me.

I'm all about honesty this TC, so I will tell you how my plan would have worked at that tribal when you left: I talked with jr and josh about telling you that you are the target so you use your idol and we would have been voting for chrissa. When you came to me and told me your idol couldnt be used I just had my doubts because you told me right at the merge that your idol can be used at this phase, so to me it seemed you were trying to flush my idol and still keep yours. I know I was paranoid and I know you never gave me any reasons to not trust you, but I guess I couldn't take the chance and I'm sorry for not saving you because I owned you at least that one, but you were such a threat. I never voted for you and I'm glad that, at least, I have this part of the promise kept.

3. - Shiloh: Cons: Relied too much on John and didn't extend her perspectives after he was voted out. If I were Shiloh, I would have tried to reconnect with ferrar because they needed numbers and not limit my options. Pros: In a game full of challenge, strategic beasts, she was a ray of sunshine, positive and nice.

- Ivan: Cons: Made too many connections while forgeting that people talk and that sometimes they talk about what they talk with other people. His social game was in the end his downfall because it was just too much and with too many people. Pros: Extremely selfless, genuine and smart. Hiking will always be a pro for me.

- Uli: Cons: Not being able to hide his feelings when he lost a bit of control and going against his former ally. Patience is a virtue that uli should have mastered better, at least during merge. Pros: I got to know a bit about his life and he is ambitious, smart, open-minded, humble because he wont admit he's succesful when he already did so many things with his life.

- Ci'ere: Cons: A little bit of drama in my life is ok, but too much becames repetable and ci'ere couldnt adapt to a new strategy in this game when he thought he was in danger. He used the same drama strategy with marc and then with me, but he should have had something stronger. Pros: Where do I start? Loveable, funny, he gave life to this tribe, sneaky as hell and I love sneaky.

- Andrew: Cons: Your weakness was trusting me too much and ignoring the signs that I was a selfish bitch who wanted so bad to make it here. Pros: I like to think I got to know a bit of the person Andrew and he's that guy I'd like to have as a real friend. You are honest, loyal, selfless, dedicated and intelligent.

Chrissa: Cons: Same as shiloh, she relied too much on certain people and didnt try to extend her game with other people. I think she lost interest in the game along the way and she should try until it's over, because until then it's not over. Pros: Neutral, random and likeable in a way where she didnt made herself visible, but people would have voted for her and were rooting for her.

Marc: Cons: Unpredictable and short-tempered. Pros: Passionate and loyal. He's like fire, when you try to stop him from burning, you'll get burnt and that makes him a good player because you'll need to think twice before trying to vote him out.

Hei, Shiloh.

There's a fragment from a book I hold close to my heart that relates to this experience and it goes like that:It is said that before being born, the heart is not located in the chest, but in the head, next to the brain and afterwards goes to its place and separates from the brain for ever. How amazing would have been if the heart and the brain would have stayed together, so that the heart never does what the brain does not want, and the brain doesnt do what breaks the heart apart. I try to live my life with no regrets and put this philosophy in the games as well, but this game was so different for me because I feel I took this to a personal level with certain people, because I wanted to know the person and not only the player, and so this put me in a position where I let some people down and maybe I should have played a not so personal game. Not only so people wont be mad at me how they are now, but because it made me look like something I'm not. I regret not being able to handle the desires of my heart and the logic of my brain.

1. I consider it making it a tie between Josh and Marc, especially since I assumed josh would rather voted for me from the jury, but it was risky for me since I had some doubts about jr and him with marc could have easily join forces and take me out if me and josh would have voted differently. So, I had to vote marc to make sure I stay. I will be honest to you, I also thought I would have a better chance being the only krill in the FTC but that was only an assumption. The thing is that in survivor everything is so unpredictable, so Marc could have beat me as well, so I won't regret anything if I should lose.

2. I only heard you're a Russell hantz of the orgs, but nothing more. The reason I voted you out was that after the Ivan vote when we didnt tell you what we were doing, you went after Josh on the next vote and so I went to people and told them it should be you because it seemed that if someone would had gone your way, then that person would have became a target and I didn't want to be in that position once I lost immunity. I used that to make people see anyone could be your target once they dont follow your ideas, so that is the reason I voted you out.

hei hei, Ivan. I think I was more like a wolf in sheep clothes premerge. I did started the game clueless because I thought you, me and nick were good, but that didnt last long. I think I had a pretty good idea of what went on in our tribe, I knew about the alliance you guys had, I knew that me and marc were the initial targets on nick's vote and used that to make me and marc closer, I won items but kept it secret and created chaos due to that, because postswap people targeted josh thinking he had it, I knew andrew had an idol, but kept it a secret until it was in my advantage. Coming into the swap, John had made an alliance with andrew, uli and Josh and he targeted me. Later he got shiloh. I managed to turn uli and joshua against john and took out one of the most powerful players, the one that people wanted to revenge, so much power he had. I went against krill and still managed to make you guys trust me on the next votes and that rarely happens in survivor, so I think I did some things premerge.

It's hard to refer to a move I made on my own since I played this game with these people, BUT, I voted without andrew's knowing what my plans were several times: when john got the boot, when shiloh was voted out, on ci'ere's vote, so although andrew was one of the closest allies in the game, I didnt follow him and did my own thing. And after that, managed to keep him by my side. It would be so easy to say I did a huge move, like other people said, and then it wouldnt matter if I was invisible for the rest of the game, but my game wasnt about making a big move, but it was about taking baby steps and taking out all the people that could have potentially take me out, the strong people. I played the both sides and shifted between alliances in a way in which people were still coming to me to tell me their plans and I do believe this is much harder than doing a single move. But if you want an example, voting out John remains something that I consider a big move because it could have been so easy for ferrar to go to john and tell him my plans and then I would have been out, but I played so hard on that vote that they just trusted me and went my way. I also convinced jr and josh to take out Uli although they were ferrar and already in minority. I convinced marc to stick to me after I voted for you and betrayed him. I didn't was a target after ci'ere said he'll vote for me if I make it to FTC. These are examples of how my game was defined by consistancy and hard work in keeping people by my side and not by a single event.

Josh should win because Jr claims his biggest and only move was at final 7, but that move only happened because it was in my best interest for someone so strong like andrew to go. At that point, andrew asked me to play my idol on him and so I could have saved him, but that's how little Jr knows. Me and Joshua talked a lot about the implications of that vote, of how I would tell andrew it's him so he uses his idol and we would voted for chrissa, so we would be safe. Jr should not win because it is sooo easy to play the under the radar card and let others consume their energy while playing. I think people forgot that Jr was even in this game at some point, but he won when he needed it, so I gotta give that to him. Also, Josh created more bonds with people, he became vulnerable by talking to you guys, whereas I don't think Jr wasnt part of many discussions and took the easy path.

If I could choose, I would not play with you anymore because you were the only person I actually knew before the game and when I voted for you I regretted I might lose someone I see as a friend, so I wouldnt want to take the chance of playing again with you and possibly getting to the part where one of us betrays each other.

Our conversations were genuine. I enjoyed getting to know someone who had the same hobbies like me, to allow myself to discover another culture through you and to just know you're not talking to me only because of the game. If there was a moment I wasnt fake in this game, that was when I talked to you.

Hei. You are right, being social doesn't mean having multiple alliances. Being social means creating such strong connections that when you are powerless, with no immunity, you can still know what's going on and that you're safe. Being social means actually trying to know the people you're playing with and not only ask what's the plan for the vote and then say nothing for the rest of the game. Being social means that people come to you to tell them what they should do. So, you are right about what not being social means, but I think my social skills meant more than just having multiple alliances.

I know you didn't ask me any questions and I do think you are mad at me and you have all the reasons, because, to quote Ci'ere, I was a fake biatch or so my actions make me. I voted for you because at that moment I thought it would be risky for me to vote for Josh, because if you and Jr would have joined forces and if I would have voted for Josh and Josh would have voted for you, I would have been out and I couldnt take that chance. Call it paranoia, lying, betrayal, but it wasn't an easy decision, it was just me making sure I don't vote myself out.

I did tell you I would never vote for you and I broke that promise and I did that with many other people and if you feel you'll honor your promise by not voting for me now, then you gotta do what makes you feel you at the end of the day and there's nothing I can do to change that, except explaining why I voted for you, which I did.

No hard feelings, indeed.

Hi, Chrissa. Preswap I only had two chances of making moves, so I wanna explain to you how the voting process went, in my opinion. When the game began, I made an alliance with Ivan and Nick on day 1 and also kinda suggested one to marc. Also, in the first 3 days, I started talking to Andrew and Ci'ere. Since we won the first 2 immunities, I used that time to solidify my connection with these people, but I was worried about the fact that no one made an alliance chat with me. When the micah vote came, I went with the tribe decision although me and micah talked, because it was too soon for me to do anything, especially since I was suspecting that a majority alliance was formed, so doing anything at that point would have only decreased my chances.

On the next vote, due to the fact that I won 4 items on the auction, I became john's target and I knew about it from Andrew and also about the alliance between andrew, ci'ere, john and ivan. Andrew said he will do anything it takes to make sure it's not me and I got the same confirmation from ci'ere and ivan. I also made sure marc and nick weren't voting for me. So john plans failed since no one wanted to vote for me. And I think it was my social game that made me able to convince people to protect me in their own alliances. I gotta admit that after hearing that john is after me and that there was a 4 people alliance, I wanted to talk to you, marc and nick and make one of our own and with me using one of my items it would have worked. The only problem is that the four of us didnt click as a group or so I felt and besides that, I felt that you guys were close to Ivan, so I decided to wait until the timing was right in order to take john out and I think that was a good decision because it didnt gave people any reasons to distruss me.

It may not sound like much, but I came in this game with the reputation of a strong player and after that auction that,at times, was more of a curse than a blessing, it needed a lot of work to survive and I put a whole lot of energy into that. To me, preswap was all about making my relations strong and,as you saw, that really helped me on the long run.

I hope this answered your question. Thank you.

We have 3 original ferrar and 3 original krill. Also, we have 3 people from postswap ferrar and 3 from postswap krill. I think it should make for a pretty crazy vote.
