Hello Jury
I would like to thank everyone for a very interesting, fun, & surprising game. I came into this game not knowing anyone and looked to get to the end no matter what I had to do. At first I started off on the Kota tribe, I was at the bottom of the totem pole, but none-the-less I showed how active I was with the tribe. I continued to show my strength & activity within each challenge, as well as try to give it my all. When the tribes were reshuffled & I had to go to Exile Island…that really did hold my fate & I believe fate played a factor once again in that Kota lost. I help keep the tribe away from Tribal Council & was able to help ensure that our tribe remain strong. My gameplay changed in the merge, with that I had to only trust myself and try to gather votes to ensure my safety. I teamed up with Marcus ever since we got together on Kota and tried to control the game, however he got the “ax” making me the next target. I knew once Susie had returned, I would have to get her to come into a “4-person alliance,” so that’s how I developed Corinne, Dan, Susie, & myself. That resulted in great success, by eliminating each person along the way & leading us to the Final 4. My game showed that I had the competitive side down, as well as the social side, & even the strategy side down. My game showed that I got here by showing all of those skills and using them to get here at all costs.
Thank you. |

To the Jury:
I can honestly say I am shocked to be at this point in the game now. I could never think that being eliminated so long ago, I could make it to the Final Three. I was surprised that my fellow tribemates didn't give me the boot as soon as I reentered the game. But, here I stand in front of each and every one of you. Most of you probably think that I don't deserve to be here, which in a way is true. If it wasn't for the friendship I made when I reentered the game, I would have been a gonner. I really did not know anyone when I entered the game, so I had no idea of each person's personality. As soon as I was welcomed back in, Ken asked me to "stick" with him. I didn't really know what he meant by this, but I did stick with him as I had no one else, and proceeded to vote Danny off. After this round I was asked by Charlie to join his alliance of Corinne, Dan, and himself. I agreed, and that round Paloma was given the boot. It was this round which Corinne asked me to go F2 to with her. At first I didn't trust her, but I realized she would be easier competition for me to compete with, come F3. At this time I was starting to question my standing with my tribe. I was releaved when Charlie stuck with me and gave Ken the boot. It was after this round where I began thinking that I would need to do something that would make me noticeable, come F3. Corinne had previously contacted me and told me that she wished to give Charlie the boot as he was a threat. I told this to Charlie, knowing he would get Dan to vote with him and eliminate Corinne. This ensured my safety in reaching Final Three. I had told Charlie I would vote with him to eliminate Corinne, when secretly I was plotting to vote him out, hopefully forcing a tie. However, Charlie proceeded to win immunity and there went my scheme. I knew that Corinne would still be easier competition then Dan, so I tried to force a tie, however I knew that Corinne had more previous votes than Dan. I knew I would be safe come Final Three, but it was unfortunate to see Corinne go. And here we are, at this shining moment. I know most of you will think that I have done nothing comendable of winning this game besides some scheming, but I am ready for your questions. I refuse to go down without a fight.
~ Susie

Hey guys!! First of all, I would like to give you a glimpse into how things went from my point of view in this game. I started on the Fang tribe and from the beggining I had a bond with Ken and Marcus. Gillian and Ace were voted off and those were pretty much easy rounds. I wanted to start the game laying low and not being a threat, even though I posted a lot on the third challenge because I didn't want to lose a 3rd time. Then, the switch came and I knew we were on the minority so I wanted Crystal on my tribe because she was inactive, that way, me, Ken, Randy and Jacquie could survive. I started talking to Kelly about that time and I liked her, plus she was active. I didn't want to vote her off so we booted Matty and Crystal instead. When we lost the challenge before the merge, I was in a dilemma. The girls wanted to vote Randy and I wanted to vote Kelly because I was afraid she would flip at the merge, and that's what I did. The merge came and I reunited with Marcus. Marcus was good with Charlie so I started talking to Charlie too. Everything was ruined when Marcus was voted off and then Randy. By that time, Susie returned and I knew she would be a key player and immediately started talking to her to see where she stood. I think I was in advantage because she was from my tribe and I didn't vote her off. Luckily, Charlie had the idol and we could blindside Danny. Charlie then offered me final 2 to which I agreed and intended to do. At final 4, I told Susie I'd like to go to the finals with her just so she wouldn't gang with Corinne and happen what happened, but she ended up voting me anyway. In the end, I think I laid low since I only received a vote (that didn't count) and people didn't see me as a big threat. All in all, it was a cool and fun game. I look forward to your questions and comments. Good luck Charlie and Susie  |

First of all, Congratulations guys. Let's get to my question.
Charlie- You also promised me Final 4, (me, you, Dan, and Corinne), but that obviously that didn't work out, when you promised me that, was it a lie to get me to vote for you?
Dan- I was truly never going to vote you off. I sent you to Exile to help you find the idol, which you did, and then you used it against me and voted me out. Why should I vote for you?
Susie- No question, you dont' deserve that spot, Corinne should be there, and you're crap.
Once again, Congrats!

In all honesty & not to be called a liar (if you want to give me that specific time), but the message I have is around the Tribal Council Paloma got voted out. I expressed that 4 of us just voting together that night just to keep all of us safe, but then again you did vote for me at the Final 6.
To answer the question, maybe I appeared/expressed doing a final 4, but I really wasn't...I expressed just voting together for that round. It wasn't a lie to get ur vote, I knew when we were at the Final 6...there was 2 people whose votes I had secured (which were Corinne's & Dan's)....all I had to do was talk to Susie, and see if she jump on the band wagon. So it wasn't a lie, as I did not really propose a final 4.
(however, if you have a message of me asking you to join a final 4, I will be glad to revamp my answer, so I can answer your question truthfully.

Opps, sorry I was under the false impression about the Final 4 thing lol. But you did think that I was worthy of being the Final 3:
Did you just say that to get on my good side or were you just playing me?

At that time, yes I did believe you deserved to be part of the Final 3. Originally, when Marcus was here, I knew absolutely he should have made it no doubt. However since he did get voted out, I knew that the 3rd spot should go to the next dedicated player....Dan & I got 2/3 spots...so I figured why not have Ken take the 3rd...I wanted to take the most active & most competitive to the finals, because I want to either win/lose against the best.

I didn't want to vote for you so I voted for another person. I'm a little surprised why you think that. You should vote for me because I did what I had to do, was it either telling people some things that weren't true to get myself further or winning competitions. We had a pretty good relationship and I think I never let you down Thanks |

Congrats you guy!
Charlie-I'm so proud of you! Wow never really thought you'd make it this far since Dan, you and I were in the minority of the group. I think that this game does have surprising twists. My question is do you think that you would have gone this far without my help? What moment in time do you think that you played your best and why?
Dan-Wow many from day one I talked to in this game. Love that my two allies in the game made it all the way to the finals. I wish I was sitting there with you guys but I guess I can't. Why do you think you deserve to win over the other two? What game play distinguishes you from the others?
Susie-No doubt about it you aren't gonna get my vote my two best allies are up there so I don't think I want to give you a question. I just want to say wow I'm surprised you were let back into the game and made it this far.

Yeah I am surprised too, Marcus. I knew coming in it was very unlikely for me to win, but I am glad I was given the opportunity. Ken, I really liked you and it was unfortunate to see you go. I even said that you deserved to be here in the Rites of Passage, but you know what? I take that back. The person that treats someone like crap is the one who is crap. There is no question that Corinne deserves to be here, but she isn't. Sorry. |
