Board Thread:Season 7 - Revival/@comment-2228839-20130816170659

Well, first I’d like to start out by saying thank you to all the jurors. You all helped make this game as fun and exciting as it was. Next, I’d like to begin with a history of my game, starting from when the tribes were finalized.

When I was placed on Regreso, I was caught in between two alliances. I was aligned with Summer, Orange, and Brendan, and I was also aligned with Luke, Duy, Chris, and Jastine. I knew that I would have to pick a side, or I’d have to try and keep the target off of my closest allies. So when Summer told everyone about his friend dying, I eventually tried to get Luke to see that voting Summer off would just be cruel, and so he switched the target to Orange, albeit reluctantly. I, however, still voted with Summer and Orange, solidifying my place in the minority of the tribe, unfortunately.

The next vote, we had Maxwell come from Vuelta onto our tribe with an idol. Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to mention. As soon as the cast was revealed, a Total Drama Alliance once formed. Basically, it consisted of me, Summer, Orange, and Maxwell, all veterans from the Total Drama wikis. So, moving on, Maxwell instantly sided with us, and thankfully, we were able to cause a tie and force rocks. I was immune because I had won individual immunity, so I wasn’t worried about myself. However, with my luck, Summer pulled the purple rock, and since Maxwell went back to Vuelta, my alliance was down to 3: Me, Brendan, and Will.

The next vote, I was successfully able to get Chris to join our side full-time. This meant the tribe was split 4-4, but we had Chris who was able to inform us about the split vote. Using this knowledge to our advantage, we voted out Jastine, and my life in this game was spared.

After that vote, the mutiny/tribe switch was occurred, and I was placed on the Devolvi tribe with Chris, Aidan, Lloyd, and Woj. While I was talking with everyone, I heard that Aidan was supposedly the “swing vote”, and I knew that having someone who had just tried to get me out as the swing vote probably wasn’t the best idea. It was then that I joined up with Lloyd and Woj, and voted out Aidan to protect my only real ally on that tribe, Chris.

I didn’t go to tribal until the merge, so I’ll pick back up there. When the merge came, I was able to align with Luke and Duy, the two people who were completely against me while we were on Regreso. I don’t know if I can really take credit for this one, mainly because it was for our own survival that we stuck together, but still. Anyway, both Luke and Maxwell told me about how Joshie was trying to get rid of me, so I told Joshie about how Lloyd was planning just to use him as a vote. You see, earlier, Lloyd had came to me and asked for an alliance consisting of him, me, Woj, Chris, Courtney, and Joshie. Four Vueltas, two Regresos. As soon as he asked me, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go with him, but I still said yes to try and keep the target off of my back, like any person would do. So then the vote is revealed, and Joshie was voted out 5-4, meaning my allies stuck with me. From there, we successfully Pagonged the rest of Vuelta until we came down to Lloyd.

Lloyd won immunity at Final 6, and I was instantly faced with a dilemma. Not about my safety, but who I would have to vote out. At Final 7, Luke had come up to me about blindsiding Duy, and Duy had come up to me about blindsiding Chris. Now, I really didn’t want to get rid of either of them, so I was able to convince both of them to wait a while and take out Courtney while we could. That worked, but now the decision came up again, now. Luke had also told me that Duy “forced” him into giving him an idol, so Luke had also said that he gave Duy a fake one. He proceeded to tell me that he wanted to pull a Randy, so I warned Duy, and turned the two against each other. When it came down to the vote, everyone voted Luke, but Luke played his idol and got Duy out.

So at the Final Five, things got a little tricky, but I was able to protect my allies and myself. Luke, who was in the minority, decided to try and get Lloyd and Maxwell to vote me out. Lloyd wanted to help, but had already voted Luke, and couldn’t change. Maxwell agreed to vote for me, while Lloyd and Luke agreed that they would try and get me to vote Maxwell or Chris so that there would be a 2-2-1 split. However, I was warned about this from Maxwell, and when Lloyd asked me to vote Maxwell, and Luke asked me to vote Chris, I could respond without actually thinking about my decision. Luke went home 4-1, just like I had expected and wanted.

So now we come down to the Final Four, the hardest vote for me in this game. Lloyd had won immunity (wow, really? How shocking!) and my main alliance (Chris, Maxwell, and I) were forced to vote out one of our own. When it came down to it, I looked at both Maxwell and Chris, and thought about who would most likely be more of a threat in the Final Three. That’s when I decided to vote out Chris. I was able to get Lloyd to vote for me, as well as get Chris to vote Maxwell. With their votes split, Maxwell and I voted together and took out Chris in a 2-1-1 vote.

Now, I ask you to jury, to look at my game, and see that I had played all three aspects well. I formed the majority alliance post-merge and put myself in a position where I wouldn’t need immunity at all to make Final 3. I always made sure that I had people talking to me so I knew what was going on, and I almost always did know how the vote was falling. I won two individual immunities, both when I needed them. I played all three aspects of the game, and knew what I was doing the whole way through. I started out on the bottom, and eventually climbed my way to the top of this game. All I can ask is that you respect my game enough to vote for me. Thank you.
