Hi Cesar. Well I'm never really been a fan of 'going up against the best', but I don't blame you for thinking this, but if you look at people in the real show like Colby, Stephenie and Coach who have blew their chances at winning by going up against the best, to me it seems like the less-strategic approach. Yes, it might seem rather cowardly and perhaps even dog-act-like, but I feel that with my sort of strategy, going up against the best would not do me any good.

I'll answer your questions.


 * 1) If I had competed with more intelligent players I think I could have done well, but gaining control over the game would be 10x harder so I don't think anyone is able to predict how I'd fare..
 * Yes, I did get lucky with the way the tribes were sorted. But Survivor involves a lot of luck, not necessarily relying on it, more of just using it.
 * 1) I do believe Zachary is a good option for the title of Sole Survivor because he knows how to get the job done, he placed 8th in the last season and in the top 2 this season, to me if someone can make it far twice, it's no complete fluke. Zachary's 'stupidity act' strategy of making people want to take him to the end is pretty marvelous in my opinion.
 * 2) Well the reason I labelled publicly who was on my hit-list wasn't because I wanted to act arrogant or however you'd like to call it. It was merely a method to use fear to keep my alliance together, to make them think that if I have the guts to publicly reveal it, they'd think I'm being completely honest. If I hadn't I think there would have been more of a chance of them flipping at the time of Jeremy's boot. It might have seemed quite drastic and disrespectful, but I was only just trying to assemble everyone, so I apologise if it pissed you off.
 * 3) And lastly, was I surprised with what you wrote? The answer is yes... and no, I was expecting the whole JCTY thing to be brought up however I wasn't expecting questions regarding 'what if' scenarios.

Thanks.
