1-Tribal tonight was pretty intense. what did you learn from your discussions?
On the surface that was a sloppy tribal, but I had to muck it up to 1. Spare Alison's feelings as best I could while still not totally losing her jury vote. My decision to tell her was again not game related, but personal, so I had to do some out loud arguing against Kara so it really drove home that I was trying to look out for Alison vs making a cold calculated game move by blindsiding her. Message received?? Not sure, but she gave me her coins so she likes me more than these others.
I learned nothing because I think I am on the inside of all the info in this game. If Kara cant figure out that Aaron and I are lockstep from me outting the Alison vote to Alison, she must really really think I am stupid. She made a great point at tribal about me doing Jury Management and she is like 1/3rd right. The real reason I felt comfortable warning her Kara was that I knew you had the idol.
Aaron told me and since I 100% knew Nick/Aaron/You/Jack would not be voted out, it was gonna be me or Alison. I have great connections with Nick/Aaron/Jack (Nicks is a business relationship, but we have the same goals) so I knew Alison was gonna be the vote. Then I had to be the dumb simpleton that could have gotten you voted out, but we both knew that was not going to happen.
2-A lot of people talking about jury management at tribal. How have you been handling players who you are voting out of the game?
I have not been. I have been a part of every elimination since Missy and I hope the jury respects the game. After you get voted out, you must hate everyone and everything, but as time goes on you get a little less pissed and can see it with greater perspective. What was the big picture, why did this person actually vote me out? Take John for example, he might have a little more clarity into why we took him out now and he might vote for game vs emotion because of it. It was why I am speaking up more in tribal as it give me the voice to talk to the jury by talking to Jeff.
I want them to see that these were calculated moves, not based on emotion and that they reason they worked, is because I worked fucking HARD to have a relationship with each and every one of them, thus gaining their trust. If I make FTC I fear for all the typing I am going to have to do to explain my moves, but man will it be fun!! These are hard playing adults, so maybe they wont be bitter.
3-A lot of goat talk at tribal as well. Are there goats left in the game? Are you worried they'll take your spot at the end?
I am still worried I am parly goat. The move here is Jack/Aaron/Tommy vote out Nick and Kara next. So that is the plan. Not worried about goats other than being one, but it almost ensures I get the chance to plead my case.
4-Take a look back at your game. What's your story this season? Do you think it's compelling enough for the win?
It could be. My game has been messy as fuck and sloppy as fuck once (lauren vote which I spun into gold, but that was a fuck up straight up, no excuses). I can tell you something or a lot of somethings about each and every player. 5 people have sent me their coins after they were voted out. Unfortunately only 1 on the jury so far, but that is ok. I will have to talk my way out of a LOT and some people might vote for Aaron's clean game or Nicks great challenge game or Jacks Under the Earth game (hes so far under NORAD cant find him). Who knows, but I have a tale to tell and I think it could get me some votes.
cheers to final 5
