Forreal, I was very highly considering it and deep down inside of me I really wanted to. I thought that if I could potentially get one of them out it would guarantee my position in the final 3 because I knew I could beat you in Final Immunity and I knew that no one wanted to go to the end with you because you could have won the game. I was apprehensive because I felt that maybe if I did that, I would be voted out and get 4th place for betraying the alliance but at the end of the day, I knew Kevin would never do it because he thought he would be going to the final 3 and didn’t need you. Now onto the benches! I think that this bench represents Charley very well because she was an extremely likeable person. This bench is slanted inwards so that the people sitting on either end of the bench come together. When I saw this bench, I imagined Charley sitting on one end and a line of people waiting to be on the other end so they could get closer to her. Charley had a very strong social game and had a lot of people wanting to work with her, which is why I targeted her. Charley’s ability to get people to like her and want to be around her is what makes her like this bench. This simple park bench represents Cali to me. Much like the bench, Cali is very simple and reliable. The park bench is always there for you in the park when you need a place to sit just like Cali was always there when you needed her as a friend or an ally. The park bench is very simple in design and easy to build (I think?? idk I’ve never built a bench) just like Cali was very easy to get along with and form a relationship with. I picked this bench for Tyler because Kit Kat’s are awesome, just like Tyler. On several occasions, Tyler was drunk during the game and that resulted in a hangover and him having the munchies, I think a Kit Kat may have satisfied him at those times. In all seriousness, I didn’t get to play the game much with Tyler but from what I did see he played a very strong game. Kit Kat’s are a chocolate bar with four pieces that you can break off, you can have just one piece but that would leave you unsatisfied but if you have all four it’s awesome. I felt like in this game Tyler had 4 important qualities, good strategy, strong social skills, challenge prowess and a little bit of luck. Having those 4 things combined make a good Survivor player and a good Kit Kat bar and a cool looking bench. Everyone loves McDonalds (especially me) and everyone loves Tyler Ridgeway (especially me) When you see the McDonalds bench, you know you’re about to have a great time because you’re gonna have some really good food, hopefully chicken nuggets, and if you’re a super lucky child you’ll get to play in the play pen. This represents Tyler perfectly in my mind because when you talk to him you know you’re gonna have a good time and really enjoy your conversation. I think that this bench personifies Amir because from my experience in playing the game with him, I only got to see bits and pieces of his gameplay at a time. When I first started talking to Amir, our conversations were very short just like the amount of space there is to sit on on this bench. I think that Amir pulled out different parts of his game when he needed to and used them when he felt it was appropriate and each part of his game would represent a piece from this bench. As time went on I saw the missing pieces come together and form a full bench and that’s when I knew he had to go. This bench reminds me a lot of Amelia. Amelia is someone that every single person in this game liked and respected and wanted to work with and everyone loves books and Paddington Bear. Amelia is also someone who is very intelligent which is why I picked a book themed bench. Books can be very plain but when you open them up there are amazing stories inside. Amelia is someone who seems very shy but once you get to know them you see the wonderful personality that they have. Their personality, intelligence and likability were all major factors in their game and made them someone everyone wanted to be around, just like everyone would go to this bench instead of the boring random ones in the background. Jessy is like the bench under a tree. First of all, like the tree on top of the bench, Jessy is very shady. During the game, Jessy did a lot of shady things but she was also dependable, to and extent, just like you can depend on the tree to provide you shade. This bench also looks complicated and like it took a lot of work to make and to make it fit perfectly around the tree. I think Jessy is a very complex person and she put a lot of work into the season, like kicking ass in all of the endurance challenges we had. She worked hard to make sure her plans worked perfectly. I picked this bench for Mihai because on the outside it appears to be an ordinary and simple bench just waiting to be sat on but then BAM you open up and it’s full of surprises! What could possibly be there? An idol? A purple spoon? No one knows! When I first met Mihai, I didn’t think he was that great of a player and from my point of view, his game seemed fairly simple. As we got further into the game, Mihai was full of surprises! I never knew what he was going to do. Socially he was aware of what was happening as well as strategically and he also pulled out the biggest surprise of all when he won an immunity challenge to save himself. Molly, this bench reminds me of you because you are the top part of the bench. The first reason is because the person is part of the bench and you are a bench. The other reasons are because during the game, you always made sure that your presence was known. You were very persistent and would not go down without a fight. You’re like that guy hovering over everyone saying “hello I am Molly Christ don’t forget about me! Keep me around!” You always tried to be on top of things. You wanted to know what was happening and tried to make things happen in a way that would benefit you. Anytime someone would sit down and try to relax, there you would be with a plan. This bench reminds me of Kevin because it looks like it can stand on it’s own (like wtf is happening here is it defying gravity or something?) but then it also needs support and it’s also really cool. In this game, Kevin was able to stand on his own. He had his own plans, which were good plans, but unfortunately for Kevin he needed someone to rely on and couldn’t stand on his own. He was able to find that support that was able to keep him standing even though he tried to do it on his own. Kevin was also really cool in this game. He was super laid back, rational and pleasant to talk to.
