'''Adam, Every single time we talked you were just telling me what I wanted to hear but it wasnt all that believable. So tonight I dont want to hear that if so you will not get my vote. So my question for you is... '''

1, name one time for each jury member that you didnt tell them what they wanted to hear when i came to talking about the game  



Natalie: I’m not going to lie to you and tell you I always told you the truth, because obviously that’s not true. A lot of the times when we talked, I was hanging on by a thread. But, there were also times where we talked and I was being completely honest. Everything I told you about the Sole vote was true. I knew if Sole had survived the F7 vote, he could’ve went on an immunity run, or pulled in Miguel/Topher/Andrei to take you and Luke out easily. Also, one of the most real conversations we had was when you couldn’t participate in the buff-making challenge, and came to me to tell me why. I never accused you of throwing, and I even told you not to worry about it. It was in you best interest to throw it, and I still firmly believe you did not throw it and were being honest with me. I also told you vote after vote that if you had to vote me out, I’d completely understand. I never guilt you into voting a specific way, Hope I can prove to you I wasn’t always BS-ing you.

Now, for the other contestants.

Jessy – Me and Jessy hadn’t spoken up until F10 when our tribes were switched and we were now together. So, now looking back on it I could’ve been honest with her about the vote, but I wasn’t just in case she had an idol. We had to be extra cautious in that situation, and although we had to lie to Jessy, it was best for my game at the time.

Sam – Sam and myself used to talk a decent amount pre-merge. I told her a bit about how our tribe voted, and who was targeted and such. Me and Sam definitely had a mutual respect for each other as gameplayers, so we both had discussed voting each other out and knew eventually we’d right each others names down. Also, when they were piling the votes on me at F9 I even told her I knew that we had to play the idol on the right person and guess correctly so we can take someone out on their side. I didn’t know Eddie would play the idol or I would be the one who got all of the votes, but we had discussed that possibility.

Eddie – I was honest with Eddie for 99% of this game. So, the main time I told him something he didn’t want to hear was when we had to vote Aly out. I knew it’d hurt him and possibly break his trust a bit. But it was something that the majority had decided on and we needed to stick together going into the merge as tightly as possible.

Sole – I was actually in belief Sole and myself were working together after the Jessy vote. We had discussed tons of possibilities going into the Sam vote, and we were honest about what we thought was best for our games. After we idoled Sam out, I was completely honest with him about wanting Andrei gone and he knew that. I trusted him more than I trusted his bond with Andrei, and that was my mistake.

Miguel – The only time I had told Miguel something he didn’t want to hear was probably the first vote. He was voting Uli and I was voting Joshie, both on opposite ends of our alliances. I knew we had to go against each other, but I genuinely trusted Miguel so I wasn’t going to lie to him.

Topher – I really, really was honest with Topher for his last vote in this game. He had to vote out Andrei or he was 100% going home, and he didn’t. I told him my golden information, the fact that I had the idol in which I didn’t tell anyone. I also told him if he had voted with Miguel and I, I would never write his name down, he followed through with that notion and I planned on keeping my end of the deal had he stayed.

'''Now I have some questions for all of you. '''

1. Give an honest comparison of a Survivor Contestant for each jury member and the other finalist and why 

Sam/Parvati – Sam is most like Parvati because they are both female dominators who can control the guys of their season to do what they want. She also proved this season she can perform in challenges like Parvati, and were BIG players in all of their seasons. Someone definitely respected by spectators.

Jessy/Sandra – I didn’t know much about Jessy’s game coming into this season, but now I really believe she reminds me so much of Sandra! Luke explicitly told me how she “threatened” him to vote with them early on and that completely reminds me of how Sandra would handle that situation. Also, in her confessionals from Peru she was a bit sassy, just like Sandra.

Eddie/Tyson (S27) – Eddie and Tyson are both very comedic characters. But, what goes overlooked with them is their strong strategic minds. Eddie really had this season figured out from every angle, had he not went home I believe he would’ve went very far and possibly would’ve been sitting where I’m sitting.

Sole/JT (S18) – In Tocantins, JT played an amazing social game and had everyone in his back pocket. This season Sole was still aligned with the Heroes, but he really had the Villains thinking he flipped when we all voted Andrei and he took out Eddie. They also both are very good competitors in challenges.

Miguel/Denise – Both winners, but even more importantly both were put in minority situations and made it far into the game. Miguel was also one of the most likable people in the game, and could form a bond with anyone, something that Denise seemed to do very well.

Topher/Rick – Both players who played more than people seem to believe they did. What Topher did was play a very, very UTR game but also had a strategy that will be revealed after the season in his confessionals. There’s more to his game than we believe and I truly am excited to see his mindset in this game. Rick also played more of a game than he was given credit for. He talked about it in his Survivor OZ interview, and I feel as if Topher’s in the same boat.

<p class="MsoNormal">Natalie/Natalie (S19) – Both players who can literally go through the majority of the game with little to no target on their back and give a solid pitch to win. Both were involved in lots of the decisions of the majority, and of course both named Natalie.

<p class="MsoNormal">Luke/Cochran (S23/S26) – I feel as if Luke played a similar game to Cochran the first time around meshed with the second time around. He was a very big thinker, but also pissed a ton of people off when he flipped. He also is a previous winner, and played an UTR game like Cochran!

<p class="MsoNormal">Andrei/Courtney (S15) with a little hint of Colby (S2)– Not afraid to speak their minds! Both very witty, but also very solid social games. Andrei is one of the most charming people I’ve played with, and that’s where the Colby factor comes in. I think Andrei is someone that comes into the game with somewhat of a target on his back, and gets people to like him enough to make a run at the end.

2. Your biggest move 

By far getting rid of Sole at F7. It was the only portion of the game post-merge I wasn’t safe, so talking to you and Luke and ultimately coming to the conclusion that Sole leaving was better for your games than me leaving, was by far the most beneficial move for me in the game. It gave me the boost to get to F3.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''3. One thing that you wish you could have change about your game'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Nothing. If I had changed something small, I might not have been here. I’m very proud of how I played and even if I lose here, I wouldn’t change a thing.
