Hi Charley! First off, I appreciate that you’re coming into this with an open mind and truly respect how understanding and unbiased you’re being. Like you said, our personalities just don’t click. I do think you’re a really nice person and I respect you a lot but sometimes people just don’t hit it off and c’est la vie. I genuinely respect and appreciate the fact that you’re willing to look past all of that stuff.

'''Compare every member of the jury to an animal, and give a small explanation why you chose that animal. Now remember, we respect animals, don’t use them as an insult. (jk go ahead if you feel like it)'''

I don’t know too much about animals so I’m going to base these on experiences I’ve had with animals or what I’ve seen in movies.

Charley: You remind me of an ape, specifically Kala from Tarzan. Kala found Tarzan as a baby and rescued him from Sabor, the leopard. Kala was very nurturing and raised Tarzan as if he was her own child. You always stick up for your friends and you always try to protect them. Ape’s are also extremely intelligent, just like you. A lot of the other apes used to turn to Kala for advice and they respected her just like a lot of people come to you and have a lot of respect for you.

Cali: I would say that Cali is like a swan. Swan’s are graceful, beautiful and fairly gentle. I think that Cali is a beautiful person, she is very graceful and she is very nice. Although swans have these attributes, they’re also extremely protective of their young. If a predator approaches a swan will attack and won’t give up until the predator is dead of if they die trying. Cali reminds me of a swan because she is so calm and graceful but she also won’t hesitant to fuck you up if you go after her or someone she’s loyal to.

Tyler P: I would compare Tyler to a dog. I don’t have a dog because my dad’s allergic so I don’t know this but based on my google search and what people tell me, dogs are extremely loyal. Dogs are great companions and will always stick by your side. Tyler is a great person to be around and is also extremely loyal. Dogs are playful, innocent and fun to be around just like Tyler. Dogs seem to be fairly easy going and get excited easily. Tyler went with the flow a lot of the times and when we Skyped, he was always excited about something.

Tyler R: I think Tyler would be like a parrot. Parrots are beautiful birds just like Tyler is a beautiful and fabulous person. Parrots, just like Tyler are loud and talk a lot (I mean this as a good thing, not a bad thing.) They’re also very intelligent just like Tyler. Tyler is also extremely sassy and parrots are sassy, they’re not afraid to talk back.

Amir: Amir reminds me of a mouse. Some mice are really cute and friendly and you just wanna keep them as pets and then there’s the mice that you set traps for because they are unwanted! Amir is really nice and friendly and someone who you want to talk to as a friend but as a player… you wanna set a trap and make him fall for it so it gets rid of him because he can sneak up on you.

Amelia: I would compare Amelia to my favorite animal, a dolphin. Just like Amelia, dolphins are very intelligent. Amelia is very smart both in and outside of the game. Dolphins create strong bonds with the members of their pod just like Amelia is able to create strong bonds with the people around them. Dolphins also help humans a lot and Amelia is someone who likes to help people and to educate them and Amelia, just like dolphins, is loved by all humans!

Jessy: Jessy is a leopard. Leopards are solitary animals and I think that Jessy is fiercely independent. When stalking their prey, leopards keep a low profile and hide in the grass or in the bushes until they’re close enough to attack. When going after someone in the game, Jessy does it slowly and tries to sneak up on them when they least expect it. Another similarity between Jessy and a leopard are that neither of them have microphones they can use to Skype with.

Mihai: Mihai reminds me of this iguana I once encountered. I was on vacation with my family and my dad was sleeping and he was under a tree. All of the sudden my dad like jumps up screaming because there an iguana had jumped out of the tree he was under and attacked him! (it was hilarious) Anyways the point I’m trying to make is that iguana’s (or at least the only iguana I’ve had an experience with) are able to hide and then come out of nowhere and shock you. Mihai was able to make himself seem like a very unthreatening guy by saying he was going to go with the flow and then acting kind of clueless and then all the sudden you find out that he’s trying to do a sneak attack and do something behind your back!

Molly: This summer, we found a duck in my backyard and my sister named her Regina. Regina laid eggs under the bush and lived in my backyard for a month until her adorable 12 babies were born and then they all lived in the pool for a few days until they moved to the live in the pond at the park down the street. The babies followed Regina around everywhere and Regina attacked my dad once when he went near her. Molly reminds me of Regina the duck because she’s extremely protective of the people she cares about. Just like Regina had her babies following her, Molly is easily able to get people to like her and listen to her and do what she wants and if you come after one of those people she will attack you with words.

Kevin: I think Kevin would be a Panda. Pandas represent strength and determination and we saw a lot of that from Kevin in this game. He preformed well in challenges and he was determined to do well in the game. Pandas also represent sensitivity with a tough exterior and I think that even though Kevin looks and acts tough he’s a gentle and caring person and I think that showed in his gameplay.

'''Compare this season as a whole to a previous org season, and an actual survivor season. Don’t need to write an essay, just a small sentence or two why you picked it.'''

Honestly I don’t follow the ORG very closely. Other than the previous two seasons I’ve played and the two I’ve hosted, I find it difficult to understand what is happening in a game when you can’t see what’s happening. Based on the four seasons that I was an active participant in, I would have to say that this season most resembled Madagascar. One similarity is that both of them were hosted by the lovely Bailey Vogt! Like you said, the final 3 of both seasons are very similar. The tribe swaps can also be compared. When we swapped in Madagascar, Chandni and Tyler got fucked over and this season you, Joan and Cali got fucked over by an unfair swap. The first merge boot of both seasons also found an idol premerge.

I feel like if I was to compare this season to the show I would say Caramoan. The final three resembles ours. You have Sherri (Yap) the person who stuck by an alliance and then you have Cochran and Dawn two players who immediately formed a close bond and worked extremely well together. Obviously I’m the Dawn based on the fact that I was paranoid. There were also people like Brenda (Molly) who was well liked by the jury and we couldn’t let get to the end or Andrea (Jessy) who had to go because she had an idol and we even had our own Three Amigos (well in this case 2, Amir and Mihai) who tried every everything in their power to take down the alliance against them. We also had a Corinne (Tyler R) who was sassy and didn’t take anyone’s shit. The premerge was also similar in that Caramoan had most of the fans go premerge and we had most of the Old Schoolers go premerge.

'''And finally, this is the most important for my vote obviously… Why should I vote for you? I don’t want a general “Everyone should vote for me because” answer, I want why should I, Charley Dee, vote for you. And I’m going to be honest, if you give me a bunch of strategy bullshit you lose my vote. Other than that, answer how you want, make it personal, suck up, talk about dogs, I don’t care. Just try your best, because I honestly just want to know who to vote for.'''

To get your vote I’d tell you a chemistry joke, but I know I wouldn’t get a reaction. Sorry, I couldn’t resist starting off with a pun.

I think you should vote for me because I played this game hard and I played with passion. Like I said in my rites of passage, I think you had an amazing social game and a serious chance at winning the whole thing. When we were attending a joint tribal council together, I wanted to go after you. I felt that at the time, you were the biggest threat in the game. Everyone loved you and wanted to work with you which was something that I was threatened by. I wanted to be the social player in this season and you were taking that title and you also had all of my allies wanting to work with you. I felt that if you were put in a tough position, you’d be able to work your way out if it with your social skills. From what I saw of your game, I think we played very similar games and had it not been for the swap, I might be the one asking you this question.

I know that you like social players and I feel like I played the game similarly to one of your favorites, Danni Boatwright.

You also need to keep the win in Canada, while Yap and Ricky spend their winter in sunny California together you and I will be suffering in the cold not able to leave our homes because of all the snow this winter. I need the virtual money to pay for my heating and blankets to survive the cold!

I know that you’re a writer and I wish I could write you a poem or a story about why I think I should have your vote but I’m nowhere near talented or articulate enough to do that. I did however find this poem online called “The Will to Win” by Berton Braley and I think that it perfectly describes my will and desire to win this game and why you should vote for me.

And a vote for me is a vote in memory of all the Grey’s Anatomy characters who died too soon.

Thanks Charley.
