Lol...don't worry Selah. I understand. I did want to play, but my plans got shot down everytime.  Question: Aside from the person "sitting" besides you, who did you get to know, as a person, the most out of the jurors & pre-jurors? Other than that, I just wanna say good luck & I'll be basing my vote on who answers these questions the best & most honestly. ;D Thanks for your questions Ray and I am glad to see that you are not upset with the way the game rolled out. I would say that I got to know CrabbyPatti the most pre-merge as she and I were constantly talking and socializing with each other. Patti was always there and was willing to talk game with me or talk Sponge Bob...whatever the topic she was friendly and real. Post-merge I definitely build a close bond with Rock. He is so easy to talk to and very real. He feels like a brother to me and I have grown in fondness of him over the last few months. All in all this was the most fun filled game that I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. |

selah, when you compare me to erik, which one are you talking about? there are a few of them Sorry sweetheart, there are a bunch of them out there! You remind me of Erik Reichenbach. Totally sweet and cool....total Survivor junkie and fun. Erik was so innocent and trusting and this became his downfall. Although.....while he JUMPED into his downfall, yours was more out of your control as you made a very strategic move to jump alliances from Bird to Rock and the vote not going through was out of your control, so you more FELL into your downfall. But you are both equally darling and endearing! |

ok, here are some more questions: Both of you: 1. List each tribal council that you voted in, who you voted for, and the strategy behind it 2. Who did you socialize the most with in this game, and who did you socialize the least with (this question does not include the pre-merge people that you were never on a tribe with) 3. Do you feel as if you played the best game out of all the players in this game and why? If not, who do you think played better? 4. At what times in this game did you feel that you were the one that would be voted out? What did you do to try to save yourself? 5. What are some things that you did that the other finalist did not do that makes you worthy of winning? Selah: 1. What were the reasons behind taking Jason to the final 2 over Bird Man? Jason: 1. At what tribal council did you feel most vulnerable at? Which tribal council vote do you think benefited you the most? Hey again Z...here ya go..... 1. List each tribal council that you voted in, who you voted for, and the strategy behind itTC#1: My vote was for Chet. When the game first started I sent out a "hello" PM to each player and started to get to know everyone a bit. My original strategy going into the game was to get to know everyone and for the first TC I wanted to stand out as someone who everyone could talk to. I pushed personally for a Chet vote because Chet was the player who I saw as least sociable and easy pickings. TC#4: My vote was for DrWill. From the onset of the game I planned the downfall of DrWill. I love Mike but know that he has said so many times to never trust Dr Will! I also knew that if he wasn't dealt with early that he would waltz into the final 2 and I couldn't stand by and watch that happen! I had been mentioning him secretly for the prior weeks hoping that it would snowball. As soon as I realized that we were losing that round, I sent out PMs with 2 goals in mind: 1. Vote out Will 2. Stack a few votes on Chad to use later since I wasn't trusting his telling me that I could rob a bank and he wouldn't tell (trying to reassure me that I was who he wanted to go to the finals with). TC #5: I voted for Chad. This vote was a little tricky because there was a push to get out Jason since we lost the challenge. Jason being out of town for the challenge made this vote a lot harder for me to control. I fianlly got it to where I just needed one more vote and Chad would go but I was worried about meeting resistence which would have forced me to re-evaluate my goals for the entire game and consider going forward with the final 4 plans that Chad had proposed (me, him, Raymond, and Brighton). This would have obviously put my friend CP on the outs which I was not happy about. Thank goodness I was able to finagle the votes because I feel that if I couldn't have gotten CP to agree to vote out Chad then CP would likely have seen the brunt when we lost again. TC #7: We had merged and I was heading out for vacation. We will have to ask Jeff what happened with this vote because I thought that I had voted (absentee vote) for NurseJoy. The strategy with this was taking out who I perceived as my biggest threat from the very limited time that we had had with the new tribe. TC #8 This tribal council I voted for NuseJoy. Through a misunderstanding with Jeff and my schedule he had me down for a self vote which he did take off by my vote was not counted. TC#9 For the third round in a row I voted for who I perceived as my biggest threat in the game at the time.....Nurse. (Sorry Nurse!!!) TC #10 I voted for Purple Rock. Strategy behind this was to take out the biggest threat and also the most volitile (player that was shaking things up). He was so brilliant with his game play and I didn't know if I could trust him so he had to go. TC #11 I voted for ZhanHuPwns. The systematic destruction of both power couples was all that was left for Jason and myself on our road to the final 2. We knew that and this was the first step in that plan. TC #12 I voted for Liz. Liz was the larger threat between her and her power couple partner so we obviously took out the bigger threat since she didnt' have immunity. TC #13 I voted for Raymond. Strategy at this vote was to help Jason with the IC and make sure that he submitted first. Since he had more prior votes that I did, this kept him safe in case a tie was forced with Ray.....we knew I could beat Ray so this was the best decision we could make. While I fully intended on voting for Bird at this time I couldn't because Raymond wasn't answering my PMs and neither was Jason. While it would have just taken me and Jason to take out either of them....without me knowing where Jason was, I had to make a decision. TC #14 I voted for Birdman. No strategy came into this vote at all. I had a final 2 deal with Jason and I wasn't going to break it. 2. Who did you socialize the most with in this game, and who did you socialize the least with (this question does not include the pre-merge people that you were never on a tribe with)I socialized the most with Bird and Jason and the least with NurseJoy. 3. Do you feel as if you played the best game out of all the players in this game and why? If not, who do you think played better?I think that I did play the best game. The reason is simply that I am standing here. While I think that Birdman had a great game...you really can't say that he outplayed or outlasted or he would be standing here. I played hard but I also played smart. I was never under the radar and when a win was needed it was had. I helped Jason with his win and then won the final immunity challenge. I played hard but also played honest. I always told the player who I was voting for that I was doing so when they asked. 4. At what times in this game did you feel that you were the one that would be voted out? What did you do to try to save yourself?I saw that there was a chance that I would be voted out at 4 or 5 if I went with Rock so I didn't slide to his alliance. I saw that there was a chance that I would be taken out at 3 if I didn't break up Z and Bird (since Jason would be out at 4). In these circumstances I just made sure that Jason and myself were constantly in each other's ear because if one of us went then we were a dead stick so his safety was of equal importance to me as my own. Jason and me were always one step ahead of the game and just made sure that we had the path of least resistance ahead of us. 5. What are some things that you did that the other finalist did not do that makes you worthy of winning?Jason and myself played a very tight game. I played personally very social and also with my ears to the ground. I had a sense for what was coming and through a review of my voting process and strategies discussed in the prior posts, I think that you will be able to seperate our games. If not then please ask me for any particulars but I just don't want to ramble your ears off with repeats. Selah:
1. What were the reasons behind taking Jason to the final 2 over Bird Man?This vote had zero strategy in it and it was the ONLY vote that I can say this with. I took Jason because I gave him my word that I would go to the final 2 with him and I did. I believe with all my heart that he would have definitely done the same!! Thanks for sticking through all of this Z! If my answer on #5 is not enough for you after review of the other answers that I have given then please let me know and I will gladly post this for you. Thanks! |

Well, first off I'd like to congratulate the two of you, and thank Jeff for hosting such a fun game (which also happened to end my 9 month hiatus from playing these damn things! lol)! Now, I'm not going to give you a 3 hour research assignment like the people above me did, it isn't necessary and is a bit over the top (seriously, how does ranking members of the jury affect the vote?). If all 7 of us did that then we'd still be here Christmas time, lol! Anyways, Selah, you said you had a ton of game that would be kept quiet and not revealed until jury time, so reveal it please. =) Jason, it seems as if Selah had your back multiple times and saved you from being voted out 2-3 times. So is it safe to say she was the mastermind behind the alliance, making the bold moves and saving your ass when it was on the line? And was there ever a similar situation where the roles were reversed? Hey Purple Rock, Good to hear from you again, and thanks for the support on the jury questions, they have been tough! But dems da breaks. Yours is a good question,and a lot of this is a matter of circumstance. First off, I certainly didn't reveal a lot of my game plan so I think that might skew your thoughts that I was in the backseat a lot. I would say that I was in the co-captain chair the whole game. Equal with Selah. One reason it seemed like Selah was trying to save me a lot is because I was targeted quite a few times. Selah was never targeted for some reason. For some reason a lot of you guys wanted to go after me. I heard many times that I was a "threat" and had to be taken out. So that was when Selah and I would scheme to figure out how to keep me and get farther along in our goals. So the situation was never really reversed but at some point it became obvious to most players that Selah and I were together. SO in order for Selah to stay safe I needed to stay safe. There were many times when we were like "oh sh•t, now what", but we always figured out a way. IF you ask Selah she will tell you I never panicked and never really got freaked out. I made the appropriate moves. We figured out how we were going to weaken you guys together and knew that you and Liz had to go early...and the ZHP thing was my doing as well. So while Selah didn't have to maneuver quite as much as I did, we both worked very hard behind the scenes to overcome the odds and end up here in the Final 2. I hope that makes sense and adequately answers your question. Thanks again PR. Jason If it helps understand this a little better I will add that Jason had prior votes and I didn't when we merged. We were playing with a very smart crowd who saw that we were a couple and wanted to break us up. Obviously Jason would be the easier target since he had a bunch of prior votes so he became the prime target between the two of us. Jason played socially from everything I can see so I don't think that he was targeted over me for not being nice or friendly. Just thought I would add that in just in case someone thought he wasn't social. |

Okay then. If you were both co-captains then what sets the two of you apart from each other. What makes you more deserving of my vote then Selah (and Selah, what makes you more deserving then Jason)? It's the games like this where two people are equally deserving that always have the 4-3 finishes. I discussed a lot of my strategy in ZHP's last questions where he wanted me to breakdown my votes and strategies at each TC. I won't talk down on Jason's game so hopefully the different strategies will be revealed without us being asked to attack each other. Jason was always a big target because it was seen that we were together. He had votes so he was the easy answer. I don't think that he was targeted over me because he wasn't nice but I also don't think that he was targeted because he was seen as the bigger threat. I hope that this helps! |

Congratulations to you both. If you don't know who I am by now then you may have a surprise in store. Then again you may not really know me at all. We shall see. Can't wait for the reveal.
I've been reading over the questions and answers. I think you've both done a good job with them. On to my question -
I didn't see this question posted, but if it was then disregard this one and I will post another.
To both of you:
Which move were you most proud of and which move were you least proud of?

Congrats Jason and Selah for making the final 2 
Please tell me who you think each of the jurors will vote for to win this game and why. Also, describe each juror in 3 words (no repetitions please) and also describe your fellow finalist in 3 words.
I'll probably have more questions, which I will post later. my supervisor is giving me the evil eye. lol This is a tough one, because I would like to think for some of you you might be on the fence. I will give it my best guess. 1. Birdman - Me. He is pretty upset still about Selah lying to him at the end and perhaps that will make the difference. 2. Raymond - Selah. I think he and Selah talked more and got to know each other better. 3. Elizabeth - up in the air, but I might say me on this one. I think Liz you might respect what I had to do to get here, not that you don't respect Selah but you know what i mean. 4. Zhan - Selah. Again I just think they may have talked more. 5. Purple Rock - Me. I think that he respects my gameplay and can see that I did make moves in this game. This could just as easily go Selah too, a lot of these could. Ha. 6. Nurse Joy - Selah? I never really talked to Nurse Joy, so I am guessing Selah might have. 7. CrabbyPatti - Selah. They were allies before we were, and I inevitably had to vote CP out. 3 WORDS1. Birdman - tenacious, determined, sneaky 2. Raymond - quiet, private, un-interested 3. Elizabeth - strong, level-headed, strategic 4. Zhan - loyal, kind, laissez-faire 5. Purple Rock - hilarious, confident, aggressive 6. Nurse Joy - dedicated, smart, happy 7. Crabby - easy-going, likeable, intriguing  Selah - BEST, PARTNER, EVER |

Those of you who ask questions pertaining to you and you only should really find other people to flatter yourselves.  And ZHP, it's government by the people making there own decisions (please correct me if I'm wrong). |

CP!!!! I am so happy to see you! I don't know who you are so I am really excited to find out who you are!! My most proud moment in the game....... I felt like this game was a bit of a chess match. Each move was either a counter move or a move made because of foresight of a particular conclusion. Each move built upon the one before it to get Jason and myself here. Obviously some of the big moves that have been revealed are proud moments but I am also proud of the small moves like leading a vote to a split in the early days so that I could control future votes. These moves were so fun for me to plan out and while they are inconsequencial in the BIG picture...they meant a lot to me and my self esteem in this game because it gave me a good sense of control. As far as a move that I am not proud of or wish I could change.....I was really gungho to get Birdman out at Final 4 and so it was a bit of a strategical slap in the face to have to vote out Raymond instead. I really wish that Jason and myself could have gotten in touch over those days but he wasn't getting my IMs. We ended up both voting for Raymond when we could have gotten out the target that we had in mind all along. I am still not sure what happened during those couple of days!! I hope this helps to answer your question!! Thanks CP! Congratulations to you both. If you don't know who I am by now then you may have a surprise in store. Then again you may not really know me at all. We shall see. Can't wait for the reveal. I've been reading over the questions and answers. I think you've both done a good job with them.
