'''from those people on the jury, who do you like the most? If I woould'nt asked for my tribe to vote me out, would I be sitting in Jon's place right now? you promised to me that you would email me telling me if I survived the vote aganist tyler or if I was voted out, since I couldn't use internet that night, why you didn't emalied me? I bet if I survived the vote you would have emailed me am I wrong? that made me think that as I was no longer part of the game and I couldn't help you on the votes, you didn't need me anymore and there weren't a reason on why emailing me. From season 1-20 what castaway am I? do you think I am a quitter? '''

Agus! glad that you have returned. First and foremost, I want to address this whole email issue. I DID email you. In fact, I've got the screen shot right here to prove it:



As you can see, it's in my "sent mail" folder.. and I sent it on January 30th. I assume that it's your correct email, since that's your picture and name on the right hand side there. I'm not sure why you never received it.. but I just want you to know definitively that I did email you to let you know what happened, regardless of the outcome. I knew that it was what you wanted, and I was okay with that.

Your friendship in this game, no forget that, outside of this game means the world to me. I meant every word that I said in the Rites of Passage and I truly, truly hope that I find myself in Buenos Aires one day, so we can have that coffee and chat some more about the truly important things. Even if I don't get your vote for this game, don't ever question the fact that I enjoyed our discussions deeply.. and you are a wonderful human being.

To answer your other questions:

from those people on the jury, who do you like the most?

I think that you knew when you asked this question that it is a bit unfair! The relationships between people are unique, and each hold their own ups and downs. But since it is a question you asked directly, I will do my best to answer it in the only way I know how:

In terms of personal, real, meaningful connections made outside of the game context, which are most important to me... I had the greatest conversations with you.. and I will take that away the most from this game. Richie is a close second in this department, but the honesty and depth to which you and I dove in our conversations was something I didn't experience with anyone else in this game (except for Jerby, who is not a member of the jury!). Talking about the truly important things in life, as I said earlier. I also made some wonderful connections with Nokomis, Tyler and Sam, but the game interfered with a lot of our opportunities to grow as friends outside of the game.

In terms of people on the jury whom I respected most for their gameplay.. I have to give that nod to Tyler, Noah, and Richie.

If these answers don't satisfy you, then I will do my best to give you one definitive answer:  it is a tie! You and Richie are the two people on the jury that I made the most meaningful connections with on a human to human basis, and thus the two at the top of my list.

If I woould'nt asked for my tribe to vote me out, would I be sitting in Jon's place right now?

The honest answer Agus, is that I don't know that it would have been. As you stated in you speech, I am a strategist within the game.. first and foremost. I think my strategists' mind would have gotten the better of me... as Jon is a much more attractive option to bring with to the final 3 (for obvious reasons). Again... as I said to the first question.. you and I made an incredible connection that I really and truly cherish. But within the confines of Anarchy.. I was a bit of a mad man. I was cutting throats left and right, all for the sake of protecting myself in this game. There's no telling how it may have played out, but I can't say with any certainty that I would have brought you to final tribal council. You asked for honesty, and this is me being honest.

From season 1-20 what castaway am I?

When I think of you, I think of someone like Matthew Elrod from Survivor:Redemption Island. A pure soul with the best of intentions, even if he is polarizing and misunderstood by some within the context of Survivor. Let's be honest Agus.. you were the golden child. Richie saw it in you, and I did as well. If you need any verification of that, you can go and ask him yourself. We had plenty of discussions about you, and I made a promise to Richie that I would do everything in my power to keep you around as long as you wanted/were able to be around. Why you were so misunderstood by some in this game, I'll never quite understand.

'''do you think I am a quitter? '''

C'mon bud... you know that I don't. I'm one of the few who knows the true story.. and I've told you countless times that I think it was the right move. It's important to remember that this is just a game (and for imaginary money, no less!). I hold nothing against you, and I think you knew that before you asked this question.

Thanks for the questions Agus. hopefully I answered everything appropriately and clearly. Good luck in choosing your vote XD
