Board Thread:Season 7 - Revival/@comment-3437023-20130817225817

Congratulations all, in this wild season, you made it to the end despite all the twists, you all deserve to be there. I think I have a lot to say and it might come off wrong, but know, that I am not bitter, yes, sad that I lost, and I would totally be bitter if this was a real game for a million dollars, but it isn't, so you'll be spared!

I'll start with Lloyd. You made it to the end without getting a vote. Some might recognize this as a good thing, I don't. Don't compliment yourself by saying "I was good at keeping the target off my back", you didn't get any votes because you were never really a threat, not until the end game of course. When you say   I was really surprised that nobody really thought how competitive i am   It was because we never saw that side of you until the end of the game. I am still confused what your strategy was in the first half of the game, because promising people you wouldn't vote for them, like your promised me is a pretty bad strategy. I assume you made this exact promise, or similar ones to Gerard, Joshie, Wojtek and Courtney. Imagine if we all made it to the end! Moving on, you played under the radar. A strategy I do not respect, but you did it brilliantly. You had meager challenge scores and in the end you won them all the challenges. In hindsight, we should've seen this coming and gotten rid of you, but we missed that opportunity. The thing that troubles me is that I wouldn't compare you to a Rob or a Kim, because, their survivor challenges didn't involve posting a number every 10 minutes or playing a computer game or creating a tribe flag. They had actual challenges. To me, your only arguement to win is that you showed dedication in the challenges, but still, these challenges aren't that tough. I don't know your strategy, unless it is staying up all night, playing computer games for 24+ hours. That won't be my question though, it's been addressed. My only other issue to address with you is that, socially, you seemed annoying. I would log into facebook and would be attacked by messages "CHRIS?" "HEY" "SO..." "???" This is why Gerard didn't trust you. You seemed so not genuine. Then there was the promise, (which come on, you know you would break it) to never vote for me, and still, what was the point, because you did break the promise. My question to you is, which meant more, our friendship or winning an online game?

Max, after reading your speech, I am impressed, things make a little more sense to me. You were wrong though about some things, you were not in total control at the start of the game, and I really thought I picked Joshie's and Wojteks boots, and probably Courtney's too, still, apples and oranges you know? Unlike Lloyd, I do think you should earn credit for "keeping a target off your back" you do seem like a credible manipulator to me. You went from last pick to the finals, without winning a single immunity challenge! '''Two things, why does your nationality say your from Ireland when you live in Rhode Island? and Had you or Gerard won the final immunity challenge would Lloyd go, or would I still be likely to go (according to you, mastermind >:)'''

Gerard! I will try to hide my bias. In season 1 I had Henzzy and this time I had you. It took me a couple days to really find someone who I could trust with everything. Some people seemed not genuine, others annoying, and others young and naive. Then I found you, the other Jersey Boy! I wish I could be sitting there with you, but I think you made a smart move. You also made it here because of strategy and not because of winning challenges a monkey could win if he had 23 hours of freedom in a day! To me, that's what a true survivor is. '''Anyway.....throughout survivor history, the rites of passage is done before the final immunity challenge, then someone is voted off and they get no commemoration. I'm gone now, what would you say about me? There is one type of answer that I DO NOT want to see, I hope you know me enough not to screw this up, or you will lose my vote.'''

May the best man win!
