Special Guest: RevengeOfTheNerds aka George

 Richie: Hello and welcome to the #ORGAfterShow!

 George: Hello! Thanks for having me here, Richie.

 Richie: How does it feel to be eliminated just before the merge?

 George: It feels horrible. Knowing that I could have gone far in the game and being where I am right now is a bad place to be, but there's nothing I could do. The way the tribe swap happened, the opposing alliance had me outnumbered 4-1. There was really nothing I could have done at that point, except for win challenges.

 Richie: What was your goal coming into PNG?

 George: My goal was to become a leader of a majority alliance with people that I trusted. Most of my alliance members were good friends with me before hand, so we became a very tight bunch. That goal was accomplished, but the multiple tribes made it much more complicated than just having the majority.

 Richie: Not trying to start an ORG war or anything but what season would you rather be in, Korea, PNG, or Cote, and why?

George: I think I would rather be on Papua New Guinea, to be honest. The problem with Korea is the cast, as many people are there to stir up a fuss and be overall controversial people, substituting that for strategic gameplay. Also, I prefer a season that doesn't take 2 days for every 1 day that it is supposed to. Also, Cote looks good except for the "equality" twist. Whenever one has permanent abductions, it becomes impossible to enact any real strategic gameplay, as one will just be absorbed by the other tribe at some point. One is forced to be a floater, and that will hurt the overall gameplay of the season. All 3 seasons have their own problems, but PNG is the best of the 3, in my opinion.

Richie: What do you think about all the hosting changes that are happening?

 Think that it's a good change overall, replacing Eli with Ian. Hosts need to be active, and they need to be experienced as well. Eli was neither of the two in Papua New Guinea, which opens up for an active, experienced host like Ian. Set aside his Switzerland scandal, he's a good host and on that area he deserves our respect.

 Richie: What was your argument behind why you should be voted to return to the game?

My argument was that I was a loyal member of an alliance that most of the cast was a part of (I actually founded that alliance, so they accepted that one easily). However, first of all Daru had a few converts who had voted for Jemarc because they were tribemates, and they didn't want to have to deal with me in the end. I was told by most of my alliance that I was a "strategic mastermind" and that even though I was a member of their alliance, they wouldn't vote for me as I was a strategic, challenge, and a jury threat. In the end, they voted in a swing vote who had strong ties with the other side even though they didn't have a large numbers advantage, for the sole purpose of getting out a strategic threat. I am quite frankly honored to have been not voted in due to that reasoning. With the competitors choosing their opponents, there will always be an incentive to bring an inactive back, and to kick a threat to the wind, as putting them in could send you home in the end.

Richie: How does it feel to just barely miss getting voted back into the game?

George: It feels very badly, although it wasn't really that close. I awoke to realize that, to my knowledge, the votes were stacked against me, as the majority of both sides didn't want to have to deal with me in the end. Even my strongest ally in the entire game, Kim, realized that if he forced a re-vote, Jemarc would get in anyway, and Jemarc wouldn't trust Kim or any of the members of my alliance that fought to make sure Jemarc doesn't get in. It became so inevitable that I would be rejected in a landslide vote that my closest ally, Kim, voted for Jemarc to get Jemarc to trust him.

Richie: Thanks for being on the #ORGAfterShow!
