I just wanna say "Congratulations Finalists"
This season has kind of been a let down! The final two is two cayo members. I had been warning the stupid 5 alliance about this! And I've been needlessly blamed because I "targeted" Christine! Wow!
But whatever...
Anywhoo!!!
Hunter: I'm sorry I tried to take advantage of your vulnerability! But I was sure that there'll be two cayo sitting at the end, if we didn't move against you guys! I don't regret my move! But in retrospect I hope I was aligned with you instead of aligning with a RAT! You deserve to win after what you have for thru!
And I meant it when I called you brother! You were one of the most genuine out there! And I am kicking myself about not aligning with you..
Roodman: hard luck buddy! I know you played a good strategic game.. but I'm sure you must have realised that the social game belonged to hunter! I just want to say good luck to you in future games! And hopefully you can move on from this. I know how hard a final loss can be.. but I hope you can get thru!
So congrats to the final 2 i was hoping to get one of you out but i didnt and no one else could. Im not going to write that much because frankly i dont have thar much time as you young ppl lol.
Question for both of you what do u think is the biggest move you made in the game?
Again congrats
Alright, tbh I don't really know what to say to either of you. A lot of the jury is tearing you guys apart and you both are probably thinking my speech is going to be a breath of fresh air for you guys because I worked so closely with you both and you probably think i'm happy for you, the bit of me that's friends with you both is. However, that doesn't change the fact that I hated this game. I hated dealing with most of the cast and I hated how messy both of you were as allies and most of my vls and messages to other people about this game were bitching about hating the experience. For the first time in a game I faced a huge amount of opposition, I was almost swap fucked, I was blindsided and on the bottom and I fought like hell to get myself in the best position I needed to be in despite everyone around me not being a good ally. I got third in Morocco and I had a solid ride or die that game and was so excited about that and this game I was alone, I wouldn't consider anyone in this game my ride or die. I'm going to have an ego moment and say I should have won this game for the simple fact that I played better and stronger than everyone else and honestly neither of you deserve to win. In my opinion the 3 people that deserve to win left back to back being Forrest, Luis and Me. But you both made it there to the end because of me so congrats.
I read both of your speeches and honestly all i could see was
Neither speech made me want to vote for either of you at all, in fact like most of the jury I actually don't want to vote for either of you this is going to have such an anti climatic end to a season that's like so blah.
Hunter:
Alright so first i'll address hunter, Hunter you told me a few votes into the merge that you didn't think you'd stand a chance to win because your case was going to be weak because you were left out of several votes and no one trusted you to talk to you. I've also heard from fellow jury members that you didn't talk to half of them anyways. I'm glad you're at the end though I always did trust you more than rood because unlike rood you can keep your mouth shut and that's a valuable quality to have in a game like this. I wasn't taking you to the end though if i had won immunity. You had a siginificantly stronger social game than rood and I believed you'd succeed at the Jury speeches part of the game way beyond what rood could do and guess what I was right. Also, I don't remember you ever telling me to make a F2 with rood at all.
Rood: Here's what I'm going to tell you, you need to take a step back and realize that you aren't good at this game. You didn't have a stronger social game by a mile compared to hunter and it's probably going to cost you the entire thing. You are a complete gamebot except your strategy makes literally no sense. You're lucky, you would have been gone pre-merge if it wasn't for me and luis. I didn't even want to ally you because at the matt vote I thought you were doing ridiculous things that weren't even needed. I probably would have turned on you too if it wasn't for will so you can thank will for making it to f2 honestly. My plan was to goat you because I knew I could beat you easily because half this game is knowing the people you're playing with and knowing what you think the jury will respect and part of how i played the game was talking to others about everyone else and everyone said the same things about you. That you were full of yourself whenever they talked to you and that they couldn't stand you. So yeah I was taking you to the end if I had won despite you not being true to our F2. Here's where you lost my vote rood and it wasn't when you voted me out. You lost my vote when you won final immunity and decided to go on a power trip and leave hunter and myself in limbo unable to talk to you and plead our cases. That's a douche move and honestly I don't really care how you justify it or how you respond to it here, I just thought you should know what cost you the one vote that you might have gotten. Ultimately you decided the winner because I really don't think you would have won over me and I'll be surprised if you win over hunter but i'll tell you what i would have told you if you had given me the chance to talk to you. I would have told you point blank that you and hunter played similar games and it doesn't matter if you think your game is suprior to his or not because the jury won't think so. You rubbed everyone the wrong way and hunter didn't, he left most of the jury actually liking him as a person. Your best bet was taking me for the simple fact that I betrayed half the cast and I played significantly different compared to you and the people on the jury that don't respect the rat game would have voted for you over me and I would have told you that hunter would run laps around you in FTC with him being way better at expressing himself to the jury over you.
Anyways, questions right:
1. IF you could do something over in this game what would you change?
2. Why should I vote for you, 1 reason, 1 sentence, don't give me a paragraph?
3. Pretty sure I know the answer but hunter who would you have taken if you won final immunity?
4. What's the one thing you'll take away from all of this after it's over?
Anyways, THATS IT FROM ANNABELLE THE ROBBED QUEEN GODDESS ICON OF CARACOL getting 3rd again! Thanks to the hosts for a great game and thanks to the cast I think I'm an even better player after this game and dealing with great players! ❤
Hello finalists! Congratulations for making it here! I wouldn't have predicted this F2 once we hit the merge!
So, I'm going to start with Hunter. Hunter, I think you played a very old school game and I really respect it. Your social game heavily blent into your strategic game, and I saw you grow in front of my eyes. From the guy who threatened me because I lied to him, to the guy who managed my breakdown quite well, it's clear you evolved and you wanted to win this game. I think your game was more subtle and the VISIBLE MOVES and ALL OVER YOUR FACE GAMEPLAY wasn't necessarily the moving force of your game. I always thought you had this going where so many people wanted to work with you, pre merge, you were always in control. Post merge, you had Zach, Anna, Roodman, Thiru and Lori, and even when you got left out you found your way in. Your bond-making was on point. You're a strong social player. Jury management wise (which by the way is also social game!), you didn't piss anyone off, but you barely talked to the people who weren't on your side, like Forrest, Christine and I. And I could respect the fact that you weren't going to gain anything IN the game by talking to us, but I don't respect it as a way of jury management.
Here's the thing with you, Hunter. I like your game. I like you as a person. But there's something so self-absorbed, hypocritical and extremely fake with you. The way you insulted and demanded people to include you in their plans was childish. The way you would freak out and cry your ass off when people didn't throw their games for you is hard to comprehend. For you, the world had to revolve around you and I honestly believe you're an unadaptable, insensible player. Yes, you played old school, but you also played a monotomous, one-sided game. Would you have survived without your immunity wins, and your idol? I don't want to disregard your efforts but where would you be without Annabelle, who double dealed and duped us good. She got you AND Roodman there where you are right now. You would be long gone without her. LONG gone. And you took her to the F3 and she almost won the challenge, and if she did, you would've lost no matter what. It's hard to appreciate a game that's so basic, so one-dimensional, so short sighted, I get it you're likable, people love you, you had a solid social game and an alliance going and you had a bit of self awareness going on. But you also did nothing else other than that, finding your way to immunities is something I don't care about, you had no landmark moves, you barely talked to people, you were brattish, and you hated everyone who dared to play a different game than yours, there's nothing exciting about your strategic game except the fact that your social game is solid and helped you move through big time.
So tell me, why should I vote for you tonight despite your half assed efforts with me and the other jurors? Why should I vote for you despite your short sighted, one-sided gameplay and inability to understand, respect or even care about how and why the other players played the way they did? And yes I read your opening statement I don't want to hear why your game was good, I get that. Thank you Hunter!
And now Roodman. Rood, you were always my friend in the game, but today, between friendship and the game, one of them matters the most right now: the game.
I wanted to explain how I see your game in a way that's original and amusing, so here it goes.
I love tennis! It's by far my favorite sport. And just like in Survivor, there are a bunch of different kind of players. Survivor is like tennis, you have to implement strategy (playing style), and you have to be physically strong to get through each round (matches), to win the game (tournament). Now imagine that your playing style is your social/strategic game.
I think your style of play, Roodman, is too aggressive. You love hitting winners, you go for each shot, and you can get through easy matches easily when you have a good day. The problem with playing an aggressive game is you are often too imprecise, you make too many unforced errors, you're so aggressive that in a bad day, when you face a more solid, defensive player, you just make a mess out of the match, every shot goes out, you start double faulting, your head is completely somewhere else, you're just hitting, and hitting, and hitting and hitting, everything goes out, no strategy, and you lose 6-0, 6-0.
This is you, Roodman, a player that brings a big presence, an aggresive strategic game, with lots of talent and who puts a ton of effort. You're this kind of player that one day, they can beat the N° 1 player of the world, and the next one they'd lose to a 245-ranked player wildcard. All in a single tournament. That is why most of the time, until those kind of players find RHYTHM and CONSISTENCY, they're not going to be winning tons of tournaments, they'll have good weeks, but they will often fall in a slump, losing match, after match, after match.
This season, Roodman, you had a good tourney. You did what you had to do in the social department and connected with people in order to survive the early stage of the game. You didn't have to do a lot more besides that, you had Hunter, you had Anna, and you had me. We all loved you, and you were always safe with us, but then you thought "that wasn't enough", and hours before Matt's elimination, you went off the rails and offered him an alliance and told him you had an idol, when you hadn't at that point, just to make him comfortable. Everyone was voting Matt, it was done, sealed. You didn't have to make a circle out of it, and after doing that people started doubting you. Dwayne came to me and implied you were sneaky. You're immediatly getting yourself in trouble for no reason at all. You made unforced errors, unecessary erros REALLY easy to avoid, but you were playing good enough to get through the match (Matt came for me first so he had to go, lol!).
You did a good job building trust with me by revealing the idol to me, we were a pair, we were in this together, hiding fake idols was so much fun, but then the Dwayne vote came. You had the right mindset, at merge you would be good with Kristen, Forrest and I, and booting Dwayne would be the best thing for you. However after the Dwayne-Kristen fight, Dwayne was pissed at you. He distrusted you and thought it was only you that threw him under the bus, he wanted you out. Even though most of us did the same thing to him, or worse, in my case. Once again, you struggled with playing a controlled proper game, and staying out of trouble. You just know how to hit the ball hard as fuck and hope that your opponent won't be able to counter attack, and luckily for you, Dwayne's defense was weak, my relationship with him was weak and he had no more options, considering Christine disliked you within that tribe too and I loved Christine, you would have been in big trouble if I had anything stronger with Dwayne.
And then merge came, and of course you're good positioned. You had me, you had Anna, you had Hunter and Zach. Immediatly you feel like you found a goldmine of alies. You didn't have to do anything, but you get into a fight with Forrest. Another unforced error that made you visible for no reason at all. Or more like, a hundred unforced errors and you're absolutely about to lose that match. You're gaining enemies unecessarily, you're pissing everyone off. You can't shut up. And all you did was attracting drama to yourself with a million and one things that happened that round and surrounded you and it was all your fault. It wasn't gameplay, it wasn't smart. It was plain out choking and plain out crap gameplay. Impossible to respect. I was super content with our alliance because I like Hunter, and I would be in majority. But at some point I realize you, Hunter and Zach are far too close, and so is Anna with them and you, and I feel left out. Not only that, but Zach and Hunter are far too obvious, and they barely talk game with me. In fact, they did NOT talk game with me. All I know about them, I know because of you or Anna. It heavity implied that I had no business there and I even had the decency to talk about it with you or Anna. I did. I went ouf of my way to tell you guys I wanted to vote out Zach. You didn't listen. I'm not going to talk about Anna, I'll talk about you.
Yes, I told you it happened because of a stigma or whatever, but that was just me bullshitting you, Roodman. It happened because of your awful gameplay. You were treating people, including Christine who I wanted to work with, as outsiders and you were acting as if you had the numbers and they were on the bottom, you are a liability to have as an ally, a chaotic mess, you had alliances going on with each person within our alliance and you were happy that YOU were set up but you never cared to make a group chat so we all could talk and feel integrated, not even between Anna, you or I, nothing. You only pushed for what you wanted, it was always what you wanted, it was always Roodman, Roodman, Roodman. And even though I visibly wanted to save Forrest and instigate a Zach vote (someone who BARELY talked to me and who barely cared for me) happen, you could not see anything happen but the plan you had, and you only isolated me.
Don't you see, Roodman? Don't you see why I flipped? I didn't want to play your game. And aligning with you would be playing your game because whatever you want to happen, will happen. You won't stop pushing for what you want until it's done. You won't give your allies options. I obviously wanted to play with someone who's adaptable, and you were NOTHING OF THE SORT. You're the opposite of who I wanted to play this game with. You don't know Survivor, you only know Roodman and what he wants. Your lack of self awareness in this game and your lack of understanding of social politics is why you're losing this season. You know nothing about it. Nothing.
So of course I make my move happen, and what happened afterwards is sad, there is no self introspection coming from you, you don't give me the benefit of the doubt and only see it as an attack. Because nobody can go against Roodman and his wishes. To this day, you don't realize what you did wrong. The round after, Thiru wanted you or Christine gone, and his ideal plan was to make you comfortable so you dind't play the idol, although to be honest Thiru changed his plan one million times. And despite my frustration, I didn't want you gone so I told you to play the idol. Yes, I was honest, we were going to split. The vote changed AFTERWARDS I did that, because Thiru PISSED me off and I was sick of him. Booting Thiru was a big, big mistake, but in summary, Annabelle double dealed so well and Hunter misted Lori so well and we (mostly I) fucked up so well, that you guys got the numbers.
Annabelle and Hunter formed an alliance with you, and lemme remind you how you let me know you three were the THREE AMIGOS, and I was like, cool, they formed an alliance, but it was Annabelle who changed my mind with her lies. Despite most people wanting you out sooner or later, including Lori and Thiru, your alliance managed to reach F5. There, you confirmed my suspicious about Anna. And you talked to me for about a week about wanting to work with me and wanting to take a shot at Anna at F4. You buttered me up, you would talk to me like we were allies again. YOU WERE MY ONLY HOPE!!!!! And when the time comes, you just sent me out. You said I was your "just in case I want to vote Anna out" plan, and ultimately you thought it wasn't worth the risk, I could respect that, but you took it too far. And to make things worse, YOU CLAIM THAT AS ONE OF YOUR MOVES WANTING TO GET CREDIT FOR IT!!! Please tell me, Roodman, how havign a trash jury management is a good move at all? I would vote for you despite that, but your extreme lack of self awareness and bad judgement, not only with me there, but ALL GAME LONG, make you one of the worst players I've ever seen succeed and make it as far as you did.
Your lack of self awareness is something someone playing this game should not have, questioning yourself doesn't mean DOUBTING yourself, my friend. And you need to be careful with how you treat people, how you manage situations, and how you manage being part of an alliance, your allies... I think you've failed in too many of those to be considered a serious player.
This hurts. Your effort throughout the season was notable, but that's why the consistent, careful players, often win more tournaments than the one-week wonders. You won matches, you had the weapons, but you don't do the right things with them. If only you could see beyond the end of your nose, you would see what is really important in this game. But you think so much about yourself and what affects you, and what is important TO YOU, that you cannot see reality other than yours, you can't admit where you went wrong, and I doubt you'd be the kind of player to know how to fix their game.
Roodman, you've made it far in this tournament, but you're pretty bad at tennis.
Guys, I don't want to give you false hope, you can post here if you want and reply with whatever, including my questions for you, Hunter, but my mind is made up. :)
THANKS FOR A GREAT GAME!!!!!! WOOO
Well, well, well...hello again boys! I can’t say I’m surprised to see you both here, but then again I can’t say I’m too happy about it either. Neither of you really tried to form any real relationship with me and we never really worked together on any level so...needless to say this should be interesting so let’s dive into things, shall we?
Hunter
Hunter we first met on Macal and I honestly adored you. Going into that swap I definitely felt like I could trust you and Forrest the most, but I knew you guys had your issues. Then once merge hit, like you mentioned in your rites of passage, something happened between us and I wasn’t really sure what? I genuinely wanted us to work together but for me it seemed you weren’t really interested in it. I did wanna help you the vote of my blindside because I liked you and obviously you had other plans but if you wanna address your parchment towards me I’d love to know about it because I genuinely did want to help you, which is why I did vote for Roodman rather than you like my supposed alliance had wanted to do and it just felt like you were brushing me off at that point so I guess my questions for you are:
1. What was the meaning behind your voting parchment and is there a specific reason why you feel like we couldn’t work together?
2. I still have no real idea what happened with my blindside, can you fill me in on the details of what happened and how you guys managed to get Luis to flip? (Roodman you can speak on this too if you want).
Roodman
Roodman you made your point about how different you thought your game was from Hunter’s however I noticed you missed a few things in your speech so I’ll help you out a little bit: you were more arrogant, you were more abrasive and you were a hell of a lot more condescending. Honestly I feel like you’re the perfect definition of a gamebot because literally everything to you was centered around the game, literally your rites of passage for me felt like you were just criticising my gameplay. Needless to say, you lit a fire under my ass at the wrong point in time. This isn’t meant to be personal, but it’s mainly how I perceived your gameplay so with that being said here are my questions for you:
1. What do you think is the most important part of a person’s gameplay and do you think you did it better than everyone (NOT just Hunter).
2. If you could do anything differently would you and why/why not?
To lighten the mood a little I have some fun questions for each of you to answer too:
1. Which Survivor contestant would you say relates most to your gameplay this season and why?
2. What was your overall favorite part of this season?
I’m sorry if anything I said was harsh, you can correct me if anything seems out of place or anything, but I can’t wait to hear what you have to say and I wish you guys the best of luck :)
Okay. I'll start off by saying congrats on final 2. Am I happy for you? Sort of. Did you deserve it? No. I hope you weren't expecting praise from me. As my 2 closest allies in my time in the game, I can say that it should not be you 2 up there. Forrest, Luis, Anna, all played impecable games, and made big moves this season. I really can't say the same for you guys. Sorry, it's just the truth. I'm sure you'll hear it from every member of the jury. I think I know who I'm gonna vote for, but I'm not fully convinced. So convince me.
Hunter: Obviously you were my closest ally in the game. We've had a lot of heart-to-heart conversations. The only time I've ever been really really upset at you is when I went off on you about my age. At the time I was in a really dark state of mind, and I'm sorry about that. Anyways, your social game was much better than Roodman's, as you know, and you used it to your advantage. You had me really fooled. For the longest time I thought you trusted me the most. And I was wrong, you even had a numberd list of your allies. I'll applaud you for tricking me. Your physical game wasn't as strong, but you won comps when you needed to. The main problem I have with you, is that I can't pick out 1 giant move that was all you. I think your allies made all of the moves for you tbh. And because of that, you might not get my vote. I'm not gonna vote for you just because we were close allies, I don't think like that.
My question for you is: What was your biggest move in the game that was based on soley your decision?
Roodman: You were a close ally of mine too. Not as close as Hunter, as you seem to of thought. Let me just say staright up, your speech was terrible. It just made me not want to vote you more. Your best friend in this game makes a promise that he won't speak badly of you in his speech, and then you just flat out give 7 reasons you're better than him. I can't respect that, and it made you come off like a jerk. One of the paragraps was called "I had a stronger social game". You must be really full of yourself if you think that's true. Oh, and smart move taking out Anna over Hunter, if Anna was in that finale she would win, and I think she deserved to win more than both of you. Anyways Roodman, I do like you as a person. But I can't say I like you as a player. Good luck with this vote, you'll really need it.
My question for you is: What is one thing you've done that you didn't state in your speech?
Both of you played ok games. I'm glad my allies made it to the finale, but I really wish you 2 werne't so stupid in the game. Sorry my speeches were short, it's not like I have a whole bunch to say, being the first juror. I have questions for both of you to answer.
1. At my vote, why didn't either of you tell me you were voting out Lori?
2. Who do you 2 think I'm voting for?
3. If you had to replace your opponet with one person from jury, who would it be?
Intro
Tbh, this is gonna be such a hard choice of who to vote for. Not because you both played so well, but because I don't want to vote for either of you. Say what you want but honestly I feel like the two of you didn't really do anything particularly special this whole season. Strategy wise, pretty much all of the big moves this season that happened post-merge really fall in the lap of Luis, Lori, Anna and I. Neither of you ~really~ had a phenomenal social game either, Hunter I would say was better overall, but both of you flopped majorly when it came to your relationship with me. I would've voted Anna over BOTH of you in an instant because although she betrayed me, she did so with class and a good social game. I'd compare her to Sarah, and the two of you to Brad and Troyzan.
To preface, I'm just gonna say that I'm going to be extremely rude to both of you in the individual portions because both of you really rubbed me the wrong way this season. Don't take it to personally, after all you both actually made it to the final 2 and didn't get voted out.... I can't say the same ;)
P.S. I would like to thank you guys for making life on Cayo living hell thanks to your inabilities to keep your mouths shut for about anything.
I have to say, good on you for figuring out I was against you from the original tribe. Once I thought you had the idol I wanted you out tenfold. Tbh tho I actually wasn't using the wakeup incident to get you out I genuinely just thought it was funny lol. I think you played an OK strategic game, probably better than Roodman's, but I don't know if I can vote for you tbh. You never really talked me, like ever, post first swap. 90% of our conversations were initiated by me, and even then half the time you would flat out ignore me, so by mid-merge I started making less and less of an effort to talk to you. What really rubs me the wrong way tho is the fact that you would tell me, "I'm busy, can't talk but maybe later", but I would be talking to someone else like Luis or Anna, who would tell me you were having a conversation with them at that moment. Can you see how that would make me feel like I'm not even worth your time? Under normal cicurmstances, this would make me automatically not vote for you tbh, but since you're up against someone that had an equally bad or maybe even worse social game with me, you still have a shot lmao. On another note, I just want to point out I was wrong about something. I told you you would have to win every immunity to make it to the end, obviously that was not the case. I guess I underestimated Roodman's undying loyalty to you! I don't really have much else to say to you because again, you didn't really talk to me :)
Here are my questions for you-
1.) When we first swapped, you and Zach immediately tried to confront me in a way that INSTANTLY made me want to flip on the both of you 100%. I felt like you were both trying to strong arm me and it made me run right over to Christine/Isabelle/Lori instead. Y'all had me feeling like Sierra Dawn Thomas getting away from Dan and Rodney. So if coming at me for lying when you had both previously lied to me as well was your way of making sure I was still loyal, can you explain the reasoning?
2.) Explain your thought process in taking out Lori at the final 6 tiebreaker over me, and which one of the "outcast" alliance was most responsible for that choice?
I'm gonna start by quoting the lovely Michele Fitzgerald,
You drove me up the fucking wall this entire season with your behavior and attitude. You want to call ME abrasive? I only get loud and confrontational when people act a certain way to me. I.E.- rude, condescending, holier-than-thou, uptight, arrogant and bossy. I.E.- YOU. 85% of the time we spoke, it was you trying to order me around and tell me what to do or getting mad at me for turning on you AFTER YOU HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET ME OUT FROM DAY FUCKING 3 or chiding me for getting mad at you and not understanding why I'm mad at you. When you talk shit about people, repeat information or stab them in the back ,"it's just a game move that's best for me", when someone else does the same thing you act like they've stabbed you in the heart and totally stepped over a line you feel the need to send them 28734694 million messages about why they're wrong. The funny thing though? I was loyal to you anyways! Up until the Kirsten thing I was actually loyal to you, so you basically started stiring shit about me for literally N O R E A S O N. You say you turned on me because of the idol huh? That's obviously NOT FUCKING TRUE because you repeated everything I said to Hunter on Cayo and wanted me out immediately during the second swap. I would like to point out that there's only two people I got in a screaming match with, you and Luis. I didn't even scream at Kristen when she was going crazy in the tribe chat. I yelled at Luis betraying me for voting out Christine, and you for being a royal asshat. So before you go around accusing me of being "abrasive" to everyone, just know it's really just with you because of the way you talked to me. Before you call me "sensitive" or accuse me of making "baseless claims" just know a lot of the jury members have told me they feel like you have been a "rudeman" to them at least at one point or another. So gtfo with your "I don't like conflict" attitude because you created a LOT of negative feelings between people this season thank you very much.
Also I didn't find your idol at Alexis. So that was you trusting Kristen who had proven in previous ORGs and during her quit/blowup that she wasn't a reliable source of information- bravo on that. Also what a major overreaction to completely turn on me bc you thought I didn't tell you, plenty have allies have withheld their idol from me and I didn't hold it against them lmao. Also, testing your allies? That's such a dick move. I did find a fake at Hali at the merge but it was after Hunter played his fake idol and they were identical so I knew it was fake anyways.
Like honestly, just FUCK OFF. Like I've been holding in 75% of my anger and frustration against you throughout this game and it feels so good to let it out. Like you're such a fucking douche canoe. BYE.
ALSO CAN I JUST POINT OUT how sleezy you were from final 6 onwards. Literally you would go to whoever is about to be voted out and talk to them like you played this brillant mastermind game (you didn't) and that whichever of Anna/Luis/Hunter made jury would back up this point (they haven't) it's super transparent and left a rotten taste in my mouth. Extremely bad way to give me a last impression bitch.
That being said, at least you talked to me so you do have a chance at getting my vote. We did have some good conversations and I'm sure you're not a horrible person, maybe ORGs bring out the bad in everyone. Sorry if I hurt your feelings but that's how I feel after the handful of months we've played this game and I needed to get it off my chest.
Just kiding I'm not sorry in the least bit bye!
P.S. You said in your speech you were the only one who wanted Dwayne gone ("but only I wanted Dwayne gone most at his boot."), that's a lie, me and Christine were ready to vote either Luis or Dwayne out in a heartbeat.
Here are the questions, but just know if you get overly defensive (like you do about literally e v e r y t h i n g) about ANYTHING I've said above you probably won't get my vote-
1.) Why would you tell Hunter that I thought he had an idol when we were in an alliance and I was 100% loyal to you at the time? Why would you want me gone at the second swap before the idol mishap when I was 100% loyal to you at the time?
2.) Anything you've said or done to ANYONE on the jury you'd like to apologize for?
3.) You talked about how building alliances on friendships is stupid, but I've found that those alliances usually prove to hold together the strongest (me/Christine, Hunter/Anna). What's your thought process here?
Don't think you can skip these, these 3 questions might be even more important than your individual because I will be comparing the answers you both make.
1.) On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being very little, 10 being massive), how big of a role did Anna play in getting BOTH of you into the final 3. Please give the reasoning but keep it brief.
2.) I've insulted both of you, so please show you can swallow your pride and compliment me. :)
3.) To see which one of you had the better social game with me, name 5 things about myself. They cannot be in one of my facebook posts or in my cast bio, it has to be something you learned about me in our conversations. How much effort did you put into building a relationship with me? This will be the test. You can use major life events, likes and dislikes, general facts etc.
Ok that's it from me. My vote is truly, 110% up in the air so if you want my vote answer these questions to the best of your abilties. Good luck!
Hey everyone! I’m so glad to see you all again.
Before I begin, I want to thank Nick, Joe, Bryce, and Nuno for organizing this amazing adventure for us, and letting it age like fine wine rather than rush the season. Did you know that Argentina was at F19 when we began? And of course, I want to shoutout to my fellow competitors for being an important part of my life these past two whole months. I've had such a blast and I can't believe it's almost over.
I want to start by acknowledging that Hunter is an incredible, earnest, radiant human being who only expects the best of everyone and I think it took me way too long to appreciate him fully. His biggest fault in this game was that he constructed his alliances upon friendship, and expected everyone else to do the same. I appreciate his gesture to not campaign negatively against me, but I’m here to demonstrate that I deserve to win, as he should be too, and for us to hold ourselves to that standard doesn’t make sense, because any criticism we dish out of each other is strictly impersonal anyway, and he’ll still be my great friend at the end of the day. I already warned Hunter I’ll be attacking his game, and he says he’ll allow it as long as he can call me out on any bullshit, and he can retaliate during the questioning phase, which is his right. So here are seven reasons why I deserve your vote, featuring Hunter:
I played a more flexible game.
Hunter’s weakness was that he was loyal to the point of fault. He boxed himself in by designating his allies into his Number One (Me), Number Two (Anna), Numbers Three and Four (Zach and Luis in some order), and then his non-allies: everyone else. He held himself to that ranking the entire game, as he said himself in his Rite of Passage for Zach.
Hunter based these rankings on how strong a personal connection he felt with that person, so I'm flattered of course, and I admire the way Hunter values friendship, but in Caracol it wasn't practical and he should have been able to separate personal relationships from the game better. This is how I was able to go behind Hunter's back several times without him doubting me ever, in fact, this is the first Hunter is hearing of this. It also let me guarantee Hunter never went behind mine.
Meanwhile, I always kept my options open. For example, Hunter and I understood we couldn't let Anna reach the end because of he remarkable gameplay but he was insistent that she reach the Final 3 with us, due to his ally ranking. I wasn't entirely comfortable allowing Anna within one challenge of the win, and it turns out my worries were justified because she nearly won. It's why I wanted Luis, who targeted Anna first and foremost, in the F4, in case I ultimately wanted to eliminate Anna then. It's why I wanted Forrest gone at F5, so Luis could reach the F4. And finally, it's half of why I wanted Lori gone on the F6 revote, so Forrest would hang around and be a bigger target than Luis at F5.
Ultimately I decided blindsiding Anna at F4 was not worth the trouble or risk, and didn't follow through, but at least I had a fallback option always if I felt too threatened.
I had better judgement.
The day of the Final 9 vote, I had an exam and couldn’t talk to many people. When I finished, I asked Hunter if he’s sure we have all the numbers in place, and if I should talk to Christine, Thiru, Lori etc. He tells me not to worry about it; he had it covered, and I should just vote and be done with it. I had my reservations, but I listened. It was obviously a mistake to trust Hunter’s judgement. I’m not claiming I’d have been able to sniff out the truth, but I absolutely was much more wary than Hunter at that vote, as someone should be at all times.
Then, at the F8 vote, the majority alliance was going to split the votes between be and Hunter. That was their plan, and it’d have worked if they followed through. Hunter and I knew what was coming, and he was still insisting that neither of us play our idols, because Thiru was flipping, while I was telling him we should play our idols, because Thiru wasn’t flipping; he just wanted us to idol Christine out. In hindsight, I made the right call.
THEN, the majority alliance changed plans and decided to blindside Thiru. This is when I believe Luis started messaging me that he really, really, really, really needs me to trust him now, and that I need to play my idol. I couldn’t know for sure what was going on behind my back, but that was the moment I decided that I should NOT play my idol. And what did Hunter say when I told him what Luis was saying? “Well shit, maybe we should play our idols,” Anna as my witness. So even when neither of us had the full picture, I read the situation much better than Hunter did. For most of the game, I knew when to be skeptical, and when to trust. Hunter did not.
I controlled Hunter’s vote.
There’s a reason I let Hunter post his speech first, and that’s because I wanted to let him demonstrate that he’s been playing a loyal game to me this whole time. I, on the other hand, have played this game for myself, and for my allies only by extension, as is the nature of allies. You can see that every decision he made, he put in terms of what was good for the two of us. Every decision I made, I did because it was best for me alone. I know some of you had the perception that I’ve sheeped Hunter to the end, but hopefully this shows that if anything, the opposite is true. Hunter and I split the control and the benefits of Hunter’s moves; only I controlled my own moves.
Here are some specifics. Oftentimes Hunter, Anna and I were all in agreement, and I never felt the need to twist arms to get my way. That changed at the F6 revote, when Forrest was the obvious target, but I wanted Lori gone. So I played up my concerns about Lori and my doubts about Forrest’s threat level. I told Hunter that Anna would be more likely to stick with us if her other options were Forrest and Luis, when really I was never worried about Anna’s loyalty at F5, and neither should Hunter have been. I told Hunter that Forrest absolutely, definitely had the fake idol and would play it at F5, so he’d be vulnerable then, when really, I had serious doubts at that point that Forrest had the fake idol. And Hunter begrudgingly agreed with me. So Lori went. Her exit was not as good for my alliance as Forrest’s would have been, but her exit was best for me (More on that soon).
Again, Hunter and I butted heads at F5. And again, I got my way. This time, Hunter admitted he only chose to disagree with me and target Luis because he wanted to assert his own authority so he could look good in front of you, the jury. He literally acted against his own interests so he could claim he controlled my vote, but it backfired because I still got my way, so it demonstrates the opposite if anything.
I had a stronger social game.
I think I was brutally honest about the limitations of my social game in my Rites of Passage: I struggled to repair certain relationships. However, my game was strong enough that I could work around Christine and Forrest due to my connections with others and that's what I did.
Hunter did have more working relationships among Rosa Mai, it’s true, but I was also hampered by the majority alliance refusing to be open with me in a coordinated effort to flush my idol. And the relationships I had were very, very strong. To start, there was my Outcast bestie Anna. But there was also Kristen, who told me everything she heard, even from her second-closest ally, and blew up her own game and his for my sake (Not that I approve of it, but she had my best intentions at heart). There was Luis, who was my ride-or-die premerge, and then my supposed ride-or-die from the F6 revote until his boot (I know this news to Anna or Hunter, but Luis can confirm). There was Zach, who trusted me just as much as he did Hunter, despite our time apart. I’m even talking Forrest, whom I believe was only interested in me while I was worth his time, but whom nevertheless chose to trust me over Hunter and Zach on Cayo. And of course, Hunter himself, who flattered me on Day 3 when he said a felt a strong connection to me (As I've explained to Hunter, it was one-sided at the time, but I appreciated how much he cared about me and from that our friendship grew). These are all people I found similar interests with and really enjoyed conversing with and perhaps because it felt so natural is why many were so sustaining.
Of course, not all of these panned out. Kristen quit, Zach was blindsided, and Luis mistakenly believed I’d never trust him again after his first betrayal. Forrest something something fake idol too. But I didn’t need five tight allies. Five would have been nice, but I did just dandy with only two.
From F8 to F7 Hunter may have had more lines of communication open, but thanks to my strong connections to him and Anna, I was never out of the loop. Everything said to Hunter and Anna was parroted to me. Was everything said to me parroted to Hunter? No. Details further down.
I did the little things.
By the little things, I mean things totally outside the realm of traditional Survivor strategy that only I was looking for ways to exploit. For example, testing trust with fake idols, pretending I couldn't trust people because I had tested them with fake idols to justify blindsides, inventing codes for tribal council posts to communicate across tribe lines, and telling Anna about the code so she could demonstrate to Hunter that I trusted her, and so could he, when we swapped. I also figured out the relationship between tribe colors and idol answers without a clue, and was only a day or so behind Luis for the merge idol.
The biggest of the little things (har har) was establishing myself an insurance policy of sorts at F4, when I sent Luis to ask Anna to vote for me (and say that he was voting for me too): Had Anna agreed to Luis, I'd have voted for her along with Luis and eliminated her 2-1-1. Instead, Anna repeated to me that Luis asked her to vote for me, showing me that she really did plan on taking me to the Final 2 over Hunter (Because allowing Luis in the F3 meant Anna likely was expecting Hunter to beat Luis, while I was a slight overdog over Hunter), and therefore I could be more comfortable allowing her into the F3 than I had been. Although Anna taking me to the end was still a bad scenario for me, at least it was better than risking she'd cut me at F3 like I did her, and in my mind it tipped the scales towards not forcing an F4 tie.
I’ve played the best physical game.
This one is pretty open and shut. I’ve won four challenges, twice as many as anyone else. For most of the premerge and merge, I downplayed my physical potential because I didn’t feel trying my hardest was worth the attention. When we entered the endgame at F5, I really kicked it into high gear, because guaranteeing that I was immune meant guaranteeing my targets were not. This is why I only won one of the first seven individual challenges (Touchy Subjects), but then won three of the last five. Of course, it didn’t hurt that my competition took a big hit when Christine left.
Hunter emphasized in his opening statement exactly how much energy he poured into the challenges, and I want to echo that. I'm also a high school senior, graduating in a few days time, and I lost plenty of sleep due to Caracol. The endurance challenge I lasted 26 hours on came right before my final Humanities exam. It's amazing how much we all cared, and really highlights the hosts' efforts to keep us entertained.
I had more to overcome.
Firstly, I attended three tribal councils premerge, and Hunter attended one.I was never in any danger of going premerge, like most of us who made the merge, to be fair, but I was in the least danger of all. On every single tribe premerge, I believe I’d have been one of the last two standing if that tribe was Ulonged. Anna and Luis can correct me if my understanding is wrong, but if Maya 2.0 had kept losing, the three of us would have been the last standing on that tribe, and if we lost again, I believe I'd have had my pick for who to take with me. The same thing applies to Macal, with me, Luis and Kristen. So no matter how dire my tribe’s situation became premerge, I was always prepared. And not only did I survive, I got my first choice at every council. Of course, Matt and Marie were really the first choices of everyone so I won't take too much credit for their exits, but only I wanted Dwayne gone most at his boot.
Secondly, Losing Kristen, someone who trusted me absolutely, was a huge blol to my influence at the merge as well. There were so many variables that I can't predict how different the merge would have been, but for starters, our greater alliance wouldn’t have lost the majority when Luis flipped.
Finally, I had to deal with stigma. Luis, I'm sorry for calling you out because you're my homie, but as my former closest ally I believe a lot of the majority alliance trusted your opinion of me as a player and a person. And since you, as you told me later, decided I was the spazzy BIG MOVEZ type to blindside anyone for Poptart, just because I'm an enthusiastic and booksmart teenage boy, that was the impression that stuck with people, even though it’s not an opinion that you stand by anymore. I understand stereotyping is something we all do, consciously or subconsciously, so I don’t blame you at all, but I have to bring it up because I strongly believe it hurt the willingness of others to work with me.
This is all for my opening statement. There is much more I want to cover, but I don’t want to overload everyone with everything I have to say for now. The topics I cut from here are ones that I expect to I’ll be questioned about, so I’ll address them then. If there’s anything left over, I’ll squeeze it into my closing statement. Ask away!
Hello Jury Members, Fellow Castmates and Former Tribemates. Here we are, Final Tribal Council (freaking finally)!
So most people at Finals will talk about every single move they made. Really, I'll focus more on parts of my game, and how they helped me get to this point, but first I wanna talk about my really life situation first.
Before I begin, I just want to say that if I compliment you during this speech, I'm not trying to kiss ass. Anything I say about you guys is my honest opinion of you, and I'll address if it's gamewise or personally-wise. If I like you and respect your game, I will say it. So let's get down to this (probably long) opening statement.
REAL LIFE SITUATION
So, before this game started, when I got the request to play, I wasn't sure if I was going to or not. I was three quarters of the way through my last year in high school, so homework was going to start building up. I was part of my school's Spring Production, and my play was going to the local High School Drama Festival, so that was going to take some of my time away as well. On top of all that, I had a job one day a week, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to devote enough time to the game to make it to the end, and play a solid game.
But I agreed. I wanted to challenge myself: I wanted to see if I could play a game and win it during one of the most stressful and important times of my life. So how did I play up?
I managed to balance school and this game, and I think I've played a pretty good game (which I'll talk about here soon). I found time when it seemed like I didn't have any, and pulled out important parts of my game. Some examples are the Final 7 tribal, where we set up the Christine blindside, Final 6 tribal when the Outcasts talked and talked until we had a plan that made sure we'd end up with the majority, and Final 4 immunity.
That puzzle was taking forever, and you can check with Roodman and the hosts after the game on this, but I had actually asked for an extension because I didn't think I'd have time to do as well as I wanted. My graduation was the next day and I was going to get up super early to go to it, I didn't have much time to work on during the day. So I actually got up in the middle of the night, and lost sleep before my GRADUATION in order to win that challenge and ensure what I wanted to happen (which was Roodman, Anna and I in the Final 3) to happen.
So that's how I played with a busy life schedule! Imagine if I had more time on my plate to talk to people and work on challenges! Either way, enough about my real life, let's get to the game.
MY SOCIAL GAME
So I know this should be an obvious one for a lot of people, as I heard and had people tell me that my social game was good. But this part of my game still needs to be talked about. This is one of the big reasons I'm sitting here.
Now let me be clear: in real life I am a nice guy. That wasn't a facade I put on, that is just me. However, I will admit that I did push myself a bit more. Usually I wait for people to come to me, and sometimes it takes me a bit longer after meeting someone to get to talking with them for an extended period of time. However, if I ever complimented you, whether it was on your personaliity or on your game, that was genuine.
As to how that helped me, pushing myself to talk to everyone, being the likable guy that people enjoy talking to, helped me immediately establish relationships. On original Cayo, Roodman offered a deal with me really quickly to be my ally because we had a mutal interest for the arts. Both Roodman and Zach came to me with information about what Forrest was saying about me, and that helped me ensure that I was safe if Cayo went to tribal. Later, during the swap, I talked to basically everyone in my tribe, and continued to build up relationships that carried into the merge. Even after being left out of the vote, some people were still willing to come talk to me.
One final advantage of having a good social game is my jury management. Hopefully, some of you guys went into the jury with good thoughts about me rather than bad. I worked to build some kind of relationship, some more than others, with each of you so we had a connection when you left.
The most crucial part of my social game was how I worked with The Outcasts, but we'll get to that in a second. There's not much to be said about my social game that many of you don't know, so right now, I want to focus on my moves and how I thought about making them.
READING THE COMPETITION
Another big factor that played into my game was my sense of the players. I needed to gather information to figure out who I could trust completely, who I could trust short term, and who I couldn't trust at all.
There were cases where I'd use my readings to figure out who wasn't good for my game. I got a sense of what kind of person Forrest played as, when he over-exaggerated the Wake Up Incident to Roodman, claiming I "freaked out" on him. Shortly after, both Roodman and Zach said Forrest talked to them about finding the idol spot, and saying he thought I had it. From this info, I got that Forrest was a pretty good social player and liked to manipulate information: and that he was pretty freaking smart. Mainly this is why I was so turned off from you Forrest. I was very careful about what I told Forrest after that, and I only told him about the idol during the swap because I was afraid he'd try to get people to come for me due to his belief that I had the Cayo idol (which I did XD).
Another case was Luis. I started off seeing Luis as a team player. Very kind, and willing to work with me...that reading soon went out the window. Right after Zach's vote, I found him to be someone who wanted to be in control, and wanted things his way (seeing as he wouldn't stop telling me how "not having an idol would be SO MUCH BETTER for my game...BTW love you Luis, please don't kill me). Clearly he was spilling things I said to others, and his loyalty was "conditional", as he had shown how he would flip on ANYONE. I'm glad I picked up on that quickly and made sure he only got information that I was okay with him passing around.
Sometimes I used these readings to cause stuff I wanted to happen, like the Christine blindside. Now Luis, I want you to know that The Outcasts had been forming a plan to go Christine before you came to me. I already had planted seeds with Lori before you showed up. So...Roodman knew about the plan because he was a part of it before you were. You see, Lori was someone who I didn't take to be a typical "sheep". Right after Thiru left, it was clear she wasn't pleased. From what I saw during the swap and the start of the merge, she had some fight in her. I saw the chance to tip her to our side. So I told her that people saw her as "Forrest and Christine's sheep". I didn't say it like I saw her that way, I played it off like I wanted her to know that and I just left it at that. Told her I would talk later. Sometime later, Roodman says Lori wants to make a move on Forrest and Christine. Surprise: the seeds sprouted.
I'll admit, it took Zach going out to open my eyes to many of you during the merge, but I acted quickly on my discoveries (like Christine and Forrest being so close, as well as that Roodman and Anna were actually loyal to me). Speaking of the two latter people, this brings me to one of the big reasons why I'm writing this plea.
THE "OUTCASTS"
The Outcasts were probably the best thing that could have happened to me this game. Sure, I had allies and alliances in past games, but nothing like this! Brought together by a blindside, talking and debating for hours on what the best move was, and a strong loyalty to each other (that did waiver slightly, but what alliance doesn't have that?).
Building the relationship with Roodman was the first step. Once Anna showed up and mentioned that Rood had told her about a code he and I had established (to let the other know if we should try to throw the challenge on our new tribe), that said Rood trusted her, so therefore I trusted Anna.
Once we got into merge, I wanted to work with at least those two. I wasn't sure where my allegiance would fall, but one thing I knew was that I completely trusted Roodman, and Anna was not that far behind. Once we were left out of the Zach vote, I immediately put the three of us in a chat, and that was when we officially became the Outcasts. I made sure to maintain their trust by telling them everything I was telling the other players. Now, I'm not gonna take full credit for us forming. It was a mutual thing, we all built the relationships together, and us being isolated from the Zach vote also played a huge factor. But I will take a lot of credit for us staying together until Final 3
After the Christine vote, Roodman (who I had a Final 2 with) shared his concerns about taking Anna to the Final 3. He wasn't sure if she was the best option, as he believed that "any of us three could easily beat the other three" (Lori, Forrest and Luis). Also, he believed that Anna would more likely pick me over him (which I wasn't so sure about). This view did worry me, mostly because I knew that my biggest chance at making it to the end was to ensure the Outcasts stuck together (that and personally I really liked the bond we had going on, and us being in the Final 3 together would have been amazing). I went to Anna (who I also had a Final 2 with) and told her she needed to try and gain Roodman's trust. I even suggested she offer him a Final 2 deal. Sure enough, Roodman comes to me and says Anna did just this and I took the chance to continue to pursuade him that Anna was the best option. At the same time, Anna was concerned about the bond between Roodman and I. I'd make to let Roodman know I was telling her this stuff, but I would express my frustration with Roodman, and how I wasn't sure if he'd be someone I want to sit in the Final 2 with. Also, I gave reasonings to both of them about how taking other people would be worse for their games, when actually it probably could have been better for them. Anna would have been better off taking Forrest to the Final 3, since Forrest was gun-ho for me and maybe didn't see how good Anna had played, while Roodman would have been better off taking Luis, since Luis would never take me to the end, and if I went out would never take Anna to the end. Personally, I really wanted us to be a Final 3, but gamewise, it was the best scenario I had going into Final Immunity. I had a Final 2 with someone who was strong in comps, and someone who if they did win, I'd have the most chance at possibly taking me (I don't know if Anna would have taken me or not, but a higher chance at her taking me over Luis, Forrest or Lori).
In short, it was always in my best interest to keep the Outcasts together, and I did so by building relationships with both of them and making sure we didn't break apart. Who was I lying to about taking to the end? At this point, I'm not sure. Gamewise I wanted to take Roodman, because Anna had played such a strong game, but Personally-wise, I was leaning more towards Anna because Roodman had driving me crazy in parts of the game, while Anna and I never really had any problems.
That was the major point of my game, but before I end this plea, I want to address some small points.
PHYSICAL GAME - I threw quite a bit of comps to make myself appear less threatening, and only pushed hard when it was necessary (like the second challenge of the second swap, Final 6 and Final 4 (I tried Final 3, that didn't work out so well))
PERSONAL MOMENTS - I want to address my anger after Thiru's vote. Some of that was exaggerated, but it did come from frustration at trying to do stuff and it not working. The threat towards Luis about lying to me...I honestly don't know where that came from. It was just a moment of anger that I wish I could take back. Also, that parchement I made during the Christine vote...Christine, if you want to ask about that, I'll gladly explain, but I don't really want to address it if no one cares. I don't like ORGs getting personal, so that round where things almost did was scary for me and something I'm not proud of
HOW I TREATED YOU - This is not ass kissing, I just want to address this. I hope that if there are any bad feelings towards me, maybe about how I treated you, or how I used you in the game, I'm hoping you guys can look past it to see the reasons why I did what I did. I'm hoping people vote for Roodman because they think he played better than me, and not because they are mad at me, but if that's the case I do understand completely. This cast was great, and the merge was stack as shit! Any one of you in that jury could have been where I am, and could have won. Everyone on that jury had a strategy that could have won them the game, and if you want to tell you them I will gladly do so. You guys gave me a run for my money, and made me fight to get to this spot. So I do not take me being in the finale for granted at all.
So that's basically it. I don't want to go into how I played better than Roodman because I don't want to be the guy that brings down their opponent unless someone wants to know. If you guys want to know how I did better than Roodman, I'll be sure to answer. If there's any parts in the game or any parts OF my game you wants me to clear up, I'll be sure to. I'll try to answer your questions as honest as I can, and I hope that you guys vote for me to win this season. I played my ass off in this game, and after this summer I'm going on a super long break from ORGs due to University, so going into that break after winning an ORG would make me feel amazing.
Can't wait to see your speeches y'all! It's been one hell of a game! (also if you read all this, good job holy crap I just went off 0_0)
We'll now bring in the members of the Jury...

Annabelle! Roodman still leads with 11 points, with Annabelle in 2nd with 9 points, and Hunter in 3rd with 7 points. Now to the final Trial. The winner of Trial #4 with 266,500 is...
Annabelle! Annabelle places first in this trial and gains 5 points, while Roodman gets 2nd with a score of 74,076 and Hunter gets 1 point with a score of 29,948. Which means the winner of this final immunity is...
No one!

Because Annabelle and Roodman have tied in this final challenge, the winner will have to be determined in a final live tiebreaker challenge. The winner of this challenge will have a spot in the final two and determine who they take with them. Hunter unfortunately this means you will have to just watch.

Immunity back up for grabs for the final time this season!
Today, you'll be competing in the Caracol Trials!
These trials are designed to test how badly you want a spot in the final ttwo and the title of Sole Survivor. For each trial, you'll get points depending on how well you do. First place will get 5 points, second place will get 3 points, and third place will get 1 point.
For this trial, you will be competing in an endurance challenge where you need to keep your hand on an idol, and how it will work is simple.
Whenever you want to begin, you will message your private chat on facebook saying "*I hold onto the idol*" including the asterisks and the capital "I". It must be posted exactly like it is here.
You will then continue to post "*I hold onto the idol*" every hour on the hour mark from when you posted your first post.
So for example, if I posted at 6:09 PM, the next time I would post would be at 7:09 PM. Then the next time would be 8:09 PM, etc.
You MUST post on the EXACT minute mark. If you are off even by 1 minute, you will drop out of this challenge.
A host does not need to be on for you to start this challenge, you can start it and complete it on your own time.
If you are still doing this trial after the deadline for this challenge, you will be stopped and judged based on every post you completed before the deadline.
In this game, you will be given a list of categories, and you will have to name something that fits in that category and starts with the letter that we assign. If you have the same thing for a category as someone else, you do not get a point. The person with the most points will win this trial!

AND FOR THE FINAL TIME.....
First of all, I'm so glad to be in the Final 3 and make it here with my early game alliance. We over came being on the bottom together and coming out on top with all 3 of us still here which is actually so incredible and I'm honestly so proud of all three of us, I've never had an alliance work out like this so well and you trusted me even when I couldn't be completely honest with both of you and tell you everything that was happening and I appreciate that <3
I wanted to thank the hosts for making this game great, you guys although slow at times, which is completely understandable with the amount of games you're all involved with throughout the org community, you all managed to make the game fun and this is the first ever game where i ever got a strike and i'm really very sorry for that!
So, for this rites of passage I'm going to do something a little different. I love league of legends it's probably my biggest hobby and i spend way more time than i should playing on my off time. I decided i'm going to give all of my fellow caracol cast mates a league champion i think they're like and tell them why. If you don't play league, I'm sorry but I hope you can all appreciate it still! I'll post each one in the comments.
Shaquilla: I never really got to meet you, no one really mentioned you to me. I don't know what that means but I'm always sad when I don't get to know someone in a game before they are voted out. Wish I got to talk to you girl
Cassie: Yeah it's the same for you. Your manga looks really sweet though! I don't know, it's just really hard to come up with things to say about people you've never met :(
Matt: Wow okay I was so nervous when I saw you in this game Matt. We had bad history from a previous game, and even though we've talked after all that, you were the only person in Caracol who I had played with. You had a sample of how I could be, even if it was so long ago and I had changed. I always worried about us ending up on the same tribe and then you'd be out for me. However, we didn't end up on the same tribe, you went home...and in a way I sort of felt sad. I kind of wanted to talk in a game with you again.
At the same time, I heard you and Roodman had problems, and since he and I were so close, it probably wouldn't have worked out between us. Just know that you may be a troll, or a rulebreaker (because I just heard about that ban), and really freaking honest to point where you maybe shouldn't be, but I'll never dislike or hate you. You are a pretty cool guy.
Marie: When you first got booted, I didn't really think much about it. We hadn't talked, I didn't know you, it was how it is. Then I saw that you were a big name in the main ORG, getting 2nd TWO TIMES!!! Also, you pulled a crazy move in Ressurection, only to be robbed. After seeing all of that, I'm extremely disappointed I never got to talk to you, and your 703 status does not reflect how well you play at all
Isabella: You were the first person in this game I had to vote out. It sucks, it's part of the game, but it never makes it any easier. You had a lot of energy, you seemed really into the game, but there were a couple things that threw me off about you. One was that we didn't talk as much as I did with the others: and two, I was worried about your connection to Forrest. With people already expressing interest in voting you, it was easy to make you the main target. Nothing against you personally, you are a really great girl, and I wish we had gotten to talk more, but you were the best case scenario for me
Dwayne: I've watched you play in Big Brother, you seemed like a real hoot. I was interested to see how the game would play out with you in it, and from what I heard you caused quite a bit of drama on Macal 3.0. Again, it's really hard to write stuff about someone who you've never talked to, but I do regret never being a tribe with you. You were someone who I really wanted to meet and I'm sad we didn't.
ALRIGHT NO MORE OF THOSE "I WISH I HAD MET YOU POSTS"! LET'S GET TO THE GOOD SHIT!
Kristen: Holy hell was my short time of meeting you crazy! I get to talk to you, you seem really sweet. Then suddenly Forrest says you told him that I was coming for him. Okay, really basic stuff, I talk to Roodman about it, he tells you...and you just go freaking nuts on Forrest! It was amazing! You really didn't care what so ever, and even struck out just to try and take him down! As much as breaking the rules is bad, I've never seen anyone so hard strong on getting someone out that they'd give their game for it. Of course, that blow up might have caused people to want to save Forrest, but it still was awesome! Kristen, you are a true character, and I wish we got to talk more. Also, one of the funniest moments of the season for me was when we had talked earlier, and then you forgot I was even playing. I should have been offended, but I just found it fucking hilarious!
Zach: Okay this is where this is gonna start getting hard. Zach, Day 1 I saw your enthusiasm to play. Someone who was new to Survivor, ready to see how far he could go, eager to get into the swing of things, I did take a liking to you immediately. As we ended up staying on the same tribe again and again, and as we got to talking more, I really did feel close to you. There was the problem that you didn't really seem to think sometimes before you told people stuff, but I never hated you personally for it. You were new to the game, you didn't know! I don't think it has anything to do with your age, I don't think anything you did had to do with your age! Truthfully Zach, I saw myself in you. I saw how I was like when I started ORGs almost a year ago: enthusiastic, ready to play, and not knowing fully what the right thing to do was. Seriously man, for your first Survivor game, getting first Juror is awesome! My first Survivor game I was second Juror, and there are many people who start off and go pre-merge multiple times.
When you went, I was fucking shocked. I never, ever expect them to go for you that quickly. I should have been warned, because Thiru brought your name up to me, but I shot it down quick. To be honest Zach, yes I was mainly loyal to Roodman, and maybe even Anna more than you, but you kept making me want to talk to you. If you had survived the first tribal, if maybe Roodman had left that round, or if our plan had worked and Forrest left, you could have won me over. I have no clue what would have happened if you stayed! What I do know is that you left Caracol too damn soon. I'm sorry for the blindside man, and I was determined to not lose anyone else that was close to me after your blindside. As you can see by this Final 3, I succeeded. I just wish I could have done the same for you.
Thiru: Let me just start this off by saying that I really did have other people I was closer with in this game, but that doesn't mean I didn't feel a genuine connection with you. We got to talking on New Macal, you said I was the only one really talking with you and I wanted to keep it up. You didn't deserve to be isolated because you were on the other side of the world. You started calling me brother, and I felt guilty, because I felt like I was trying to use you more than be your brother. But you are a smart man. You got Zach, and had me basically begging you to help me. I needed to find a crack in the system of that voting block (and at the time I thought possible alliance). You seemed to be that person, and so I really did trust you. You can ask Anna and Roodman, I was vouching for you, telling them that you were honest with me. Judging by the votes, you weren't. You were playing me, and you were doing it pretty well. I was leaving myself open to be played with because I was vulnerable and you took advantage of that. That shows a smart player, and I guess the others saw that too, because you were blindsided the next vote. As much as it sucked, it was good for me, because it allowed me to push my way out of the bottom, get back into a good position and make my way to the Final 3. That being said Thiru, no matter what happened in this game, or how much we lied to each other and played each other, I did and still do consider you my brother.
Christine: Damn girl why couldn't it work out between us? We met on New Macal, and you were such a nice person! We chatted about the other people in the game, had a few plesent conversations, and you gave me the idea to go for Isabella. I followed through with that once Maya 3.0 lost the challenge. Then we met up again at merge, and it just felt different. We were seperated by the swap and I had a couple people telling me I couldn't trust you. I didn't want to believe them, but then Zach got voted out, and Forrest knew full well I was after him. You grew closer to him through the second swap, and I can't blame you for that. You two were outnumbered, of course you got closer! The fact that I didn't expect that just means I was naive, thinking you'd pick me over him for some reason. You kept promising to keep me on the plan, and then you'd lie again. That's why I made that parchment about not being an idiot. I was angry: people kept promising to fill me in on the plan and then would lie to my face, like they didn't think I would eventually start catching on to shit. That parchment was just a statement not to you, but to the others in the game. I'm sorry if that hurt, I'm sorry if you felt that was personal, it wasn't meant to be. I think a part of that was also anger from the fact that we had ended up on opposite sides of the game. We couldn't be allies, it wasn't going to work. You were with Forrest, Forrest was after me, I was after him, it's how it worked out. So yes, I helped set up your blindside because if I couldn't get Forrest, I had to get his closest ally, who was super strong in challenges and could have beasted her way to the end. Christine, you are an awesome person that I wanted to talk to more, that I wanted to work with, and I'm really sad about how we ended up. I hope there's no anger towards me from you, but if there is I understand why. It was never personal with me, but I think I got very close in making it so.
Lori: Girl, some people may have seen you as a goat, but if you are one, you are one of the best goats I've ever met. Okay, you didn't talk as much to people, yes you flipped quite a bit, but you flipped when it was to better yourself! You didn't want to be seen as Forrest and Christine's goat, so you flipped on them. In F6, I heard that you were nervous about Rood and I, and you had every right to be! You didn't want to be used, and after talking with Rood, you probably would have flipped to Luis' side if we kept you. For a goat, you are pretty freaking smart. And that says to me that you were not a goat! You could have had a pretty good case in the finale. Everyone at some point probably would have wanted to take you, because you put it in everyone heads that you could be beaten, but would that have been the truth for all of us? I don't fully think so. There were a couple people in that Final Six that you could have given a run for their money. To be honest, I wanted to keep during that revote, mainly because I saw Forrest as more threatening, so I was in your corner that round. How that would have played if you had stayed, I'm sure people had theories, but who really knows. Either way, you were a delight to meet Lori, and you earned your spot as the last Yasaw member standing
Forrest: Oh fuck where do I even begin with you and I Forrest?! Like my god we had one serious rivalry! I'm so relieved I can finally explain why it started, and believe me man, it was not JUST because you woke me up. That whole incident I didn't really think much of at first. Then Roodman comes me and says that you told him that I "freaked out on you". That's what threw me off. Forrest, if you felt like I freaked out on you, that was not the case from my point of view! I was just a bit annoyed, and I even apologized and said "Don't take anything I say to heart". After what Roodman described, I was turned off by you because I saw someone who was willing to manipulate stuff to make others look bad. I thought you and I were somewhat cool, and yet you so easily tried to mess with my image to Roodman. That's why I was first turned off by you. Then there was that whole thing where you told both Roodman and Zach that you found the idol place and thought I had it. The whole time we were on Cayo, I felt like you were out for me. You were suspicious of me, and that's what turned me off from you. I never felt like I could align with you, because I was afraid you could turn around and try to backstab me at any second. So that's how our game went on. Back and forth we'd try to manipulate each other, lie to each other, try to take the other person down. You got Zach, I got Christine. I beat you to an idol and you nearly got me to waste it. You weren't my biggest rival this season, but you were very close to being. Gamewise, you were a real pain in my side. Personally, I think you are a great game player. You've won the Main ORG, and I think if you made it to the end you could have won this one as well. Really, the Wake Up Incident was what first opened my eyes to how well you knew how to play, and I was against you because I feared you. I was afraid of how good you could and did play. During that first merge vote, I was telling people we needed to get you out because if we gave you a chance "he'll take it and charge his way to the end. If we don't take him out now, he's gonna go far". Well, I was right wasn't I?
Mad respect for you dude, and also, da fuck you mean you only voted for me Final 5 just because you wanted to vote for everyone on Cayo at least once?! Like come on man XD
Luis: Always a great thing to save the best for last. Luis, throughout a good chunk of this game I constantly believed that Forrest was my main rival. It wasn't until Final 6 that I realized how wrong I was. Forrest wasn't my biggest rival this season: you were. Right from the get go, at the merge, we had never met. We started talking and the first thought that goes through my head is "Okay I'll get to talk with him, maybe work with him on a couple votes, and then maybe vote him out". Truthfully at the time, I was interested in working with you, but only as a number. You pointed it out, we hadn't really connected yet. Then you went and proved me dead fucking wrong.
You helped blindside Zach, you tried to get me to waste my idol, and that's when I started to see how good of a player you were. The way you talked made even the simplest of things sound convincing. Why didn't I believe them? Because I was aware that you were trying to bullshit me. Once I saw that, everything you said I questioned. Your kindness I believe was completely genuine, but when we talked game, I think we both know there was SOOOOOO much bullshit being thrown out there. Yet for one vote we came together for a common goal: splitting up Christine and Forrest. For me, it was to break up a power duo and work to get my alliance into a stronger position. For you, I believe it was to break up a power duo and reel in someone when they were vulnerable. You basically betrayed everyone in this game, but if you made it to the end, I was sure you'd find a way to justify every single backstab and pull off a win.
So why were you my biggest rival this season? Well, when I look at both our games, I see a lot of similarities. Both nice, both using our social games to the best of our abilities, both finding solid alliances to work with us, both hated being lied to, both hated being left out of shit, both being people with self concious issues, both thinking carefully about every vote and doing what we believed would help advance our games, and most importantly, both of us were constantly nice and VERY FAKE to each other, and were always gunning for each other. After Zach's tribal, I wanted you GONE GONE GONE! I'm sure you felt the same for me, as I heard you tell multiple people I would win if I made it. Will I win if I make it? I have no clue, anything can happen now. Caracol has shown that.
I think you've noticed by this point that your section is a lot bigger than everyone else's. Why? Well, because I respect you so fucking much man. You were the biggest freaking pain in my side this entire game, because you are a really great game player! Even after all the bullshit, even after you went nuts on me after the split vote results, I still respect you. That's how awesome you are Luis. Do not let anyone in this god damn game or in the VL let you believe you played bad, because you played as hard as you fucking could, and you did awesome.
That's all from me guys! This season was great, many of you made me work real hard to get here, and personally, you all are awesome! Hopefully next time I talk to you it's at FTC as part of the finalists and not the jury.
Shaquilla/Cassie-
I’m sorry I never had a chance to meet either of you. Your situations were tough ones, and who knows what could have happened if you pulled through the first few days? It feels weird to me that we could all be part of this incredible experience and develop mutual friends through it, but still never meet.
Matt-
On the one hand, you came into this game with a shit reputation for trolling and you tried to blindside me less than a day after offering me an alliance which I felt was… cheap. Totally, okay, but still cheap enough that I felt justified taking cheap shots back. On the other hand, I pissed you off wayyyyy more than I ever meant to. I guess some naive part of me was hoping you’d see the humor in your own comeuppance, because the rest of us sure did. Like hell I’m taking responsibility for your own cockamamie actions that led to your ban, but I’m sorry to everyone that had to clean up the mess I helped make by riling you up.
Marie-
I remember the first time we talked on Maya 2.0, we just clicked. However, I’m glad I beat you to the punch because I don’t know if I’d have seen you coming if you ever decided to strike at me and I knew you weren’t being entirely forthcoming to start. I think we’re similar people in that we love to make friends, but we override our emotions, no matter how powerful, when we step into the ring. I’m sure know how guilty I felt for your blindside because I never stopped apologizing and wishing you well in your other ORGs. You’re already a reputable player and Caracol can’t take that away from you.
Isabella-
We never met but I heard you were a character. I’m not sure I’d have gotten along better with you than anyone else did, but I still wish we had crossed paths.
Dwayne-
Ugh, this one is hard to write.
Your boot sucked. I’m not sure why you didn’t trust me, but it made me feel uncomfortable taking you any further, for the sake of my own security. Your distrust towards me that you voiced to Luis was a self-fulfilling prophecy: It made me decide to target you. I hope you understand that I’m not sorry I did it, but I’m sorry I felt I had too.
And I’m not saying you’re to blame. As some of the jurors love to remind me, your perception is your reality and you perceived me as unreliable. I didn’t know what I could have done differently, so I resigned myself to the idea that it was eventually going to be you or me going, and it wasn’t going to be me. I just wish we could have developed the same sort of trust I did with others on Macal 3.0.
What I want to apologize for most of all is smearing your name once you were gone. When Kristen leaked the blindside to you ahead of the deadline, I knew you were angry at me and my perceived betrayal. You had a few hours left in the game, a few hours during which you told anyone who would listen that I could flip on them like I flipped on you. It frustrated me because you didn’t know my reasons behind the flip, and I wasn’t prepared to tell anyone, including you, that Luis repeating your words to me was my reason. So I got creative with my excuses for your vote-off, to explain why it was justified and why everyone else didn’t have to fear a similar betrayal from me.
This is the story I gave: You and I agreed to search for the idol, together. I planted a fake idol to test your trust. You claimed to guess the spot where the fake was hidden, but didn’t mention an idol. I concluded you were either lying about your guesses, or hiding the ‘idol’ you had just found from me. Hence, I couldn’t trust you (That lie actually drew from reality, because something like this actually happened, except it didn’t involve you, but I’ll cover that later).
The story didn’t have a huge impact on the rest of the game, but I wanted to come clean in front of everyone anyway because you don’t deserve the way it reflects on your character. You have a great soul, man. I really appreciated how openly you were willing to talk to me about what was on your mind, and how eager we both were to discuss race relations and gentrification, as two people with wildly different backgrounds (Preppy white child of the federal government in DC and former hoodster turned Psych major in New Jersey), but similar perspectives . I hope nursing school is going well and that we can talk again sometime.
PS- In my perfect world, no one would take this game personally, and I could focus on personal relationships in my Rites of Passage without addressing the game in depth. Unfortunately, I know you took personal offense to my betrayal, which is why I felt the need to break down the strategical element of our relationship here.
Kristen-
Kristen, to say you pleasantly surprised me in this season would be an understatement. When the cast was revealed, I was dreading the day we were swapped onto the same tribe. After all, the last time we had talked, you called me too retarded to understand Survivor. And then when we landed on Maya together, I discovered I couldn’t view your profile and thought you blocked me and I was prepared for the worst. But in fact you hadn’t blocked me; your account had been hacked and deleted by some skank named Lauragail. You came back online just in time for us to change the plan to booting Matt, thank god.
You were such a positive presence on Maya 2.0 and I wasn’t prepared for it at all. You were active and cheerful. You led us in the categories immunity challenge where we came up just short. We became really tight when I explained it was best for us to let go of Marie. I won’t lie that I think part of your attachment to me was due to your belief that we would make a great showmance, since we used to despise one another, but there’s no denying we had real chemistry too.
I never thought I’d grow so close to a random ass promotional model/single mother ten years my elder from Mississippi, who drinks Coke with every meal (If you still care about me at all, then I beseech you to drink more water. Sugar kills.) and made, I’ll be honest, some questionable strategic decisions. Although I know you intended the best for me, I felt I lost a lot of influence when you quit, and I was bitter for a short while. I later learned you were dealing with some turmoil IRL at the time, so I won’t hold it against you anymore. I hope you’re doing well. I wish you and your daughter the best and again that you’d drink less soda.
Zach-
Zach, you are a young and sweet kid. I identified a lot with your sensitivity to friction and negativity, a weakness in Survivor as it is. You were always honest, always pleasant, always earnest. I think you’re the best person of us all, even if I don’t consider you the most capable or savvy, and I hope you’re not offended that I say that, since you’re still very young.
Given how the rest of your alliance recovered from the blindside and reached the F3, I believe you placed well below where you could have easily. It could have been any of us in your place, and you in any of ours. I don’t throw this word around as easily as others, but you were robbed. I wish I had more time than just three rounds in the game with you and I’m sorry you couldn’t be here with us. You and your baby brother are so cute and I hope you’re both doing well. <3
Thiru-
I just want to mention because I think it’s funny that Luis and Anna each described you in a word as ‘adorable’ to me, when I asked them their impressions of you. Between us, I’m 85% sure Luis has a little crush on you. I appreciated that we could still talk about this or that despite never aligning. You are a very savvy conversationalist. Every time we talked, you spoke to me as if we were old pals and made it hard for me not to like you. Then when I tried to steer the subject towards the game, you’d let me say my piece, and then quickly nip the conversation in the bud and disappear without allowing me any opportunity to pick your brain. Unfortunately, you over-extended yourself just a bit too much at F8 and paid the price. I hope your daughter’s trip went smoothly!
Phew, four more!
Christine-
This one is also difficult. I have very selective emotional intelligence, and I think it failed me with you. Maybe it’s just because we were trying to keep each other at arm’s length strategically that I felt you weren’t willing to have a real conversation with me, or maybe it was me telling myself that because I didn’t feel like I could identify with you. It was difficult for me to process because I respected you so much as a person and wanted to be your friend and I’m not sure if you reciprocated. I’m a very social person and it wasn’t something I’m used to, and it’s why I kinda interrogated you that one time about why exactly you were saying this or that about me (Although there was a strategic element to it, which I’ll have the chance to delve into soon, fingers crossed), when really you have every right to not like me if you don’t, and to let others know as much. I doubt you actively dislike me either so I’m at peace. And sorry for rambling here; once again this isn’t something I’m used to confronting or articulating.
I think you played a well-rounded game. If Forrest were not immune at F7, you could have placed where he did or higher. When we first met after the second swap, I had the impression that you didn’t care very much to stay, since you didn’t talk to anyone in the majority without us messaging you first. I even dropped a comment to you about ‘I don’t blame you for being worried [about your chances if we lose immunity]’ to try to light a fire under your ass, so you’d fight harder to stay, and my case to boot Dwayne would become easier to sell to Luis and Kristen, mainly Luis. When the vote rolled around, Luis fiercely protected you when I dropped your name, so either my plan worked, or more likely it was unnecessary, because you had simply put the effort I didn’t get into Luis all along, and knew exactly what you were doing. That was when my opinion of your gameplay shifted dramatically.
Lori-
I don’t think you get enough respect for your game. Yes, you barely spoke to anyone unless absolutely essential, and that was problematic and doesn’t leave me with much to comment on with regards to your personality, but a lot of people mistook your quietness to mean that you didn’t care enough to fight for a resume and a win, and that’s simply not true. You functioned with more autonomy than anyone else who made the merge, even Luis. You kept yourself in a comfortable swing position for most of the game. You flipped when you felt threatened, and would have flipped again if I wasn’t trying my hardest to cut you off at the knees on the F6 revote. And this is only what I saw of you; escaping the disaster that was the Yajaw tribe with no votes cast against you is an amazing feat. There are F2s in which I’d have voted for you to win.
Ok, I'm going to have to stop here for tonight. Forrest, and Luis, sorry to keep you waiting until tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see you all again so soon!
Congratulations Final Three! You have done what your fellow 13 castaways couldn't do. Today you will honor their memory, as you walk the Rites Of Passage.
You will go down the path to your final immunity challenge. Collect each torch as you go, and pause to reflect on that person and how they impacted your journey. Once you pass collect the final torch, you will set the torches ablaze, in a final act of honor.
One you have all posted your ROP, you will participate in the Final Immunity Challenge. Take this time to pay tribute, take in your surroundings, enjoy the moment. Head on out. You’ve got a busy day.
