Wow, final two already? My how time flies!
I just want to apologize for no further Tom & Donna Shows. It's a shame how the season kinda deflated several rounds ago (in Alumniville anyway). Plus I've been uber busy with my novel and life in general. Still, it's been fun hanging out with you guys this season! Hopefully we'll all be back next season.
Go Lorii! <3

Morgan I agree its almost like being back in school and they copied each others essay homework...I think they thought by it being so long no one would actually read it...This isn't congress though so we did...
I also agree about Joey not answering...I know if I was on jury he would DEF have alot of ground to make up after that as I would see it as trying to fluff the rest of the jury...
Personally I always like Alex's questions they not only have depth (which coming from the source suprises me sometimes lol) and also have an understanding for the social aspect of the game that really show just how involved you got...Alex always makes a good juror but don't tell him I said that...

Holy crap! Game really moved on, didn't it?
Well Lorii and Joey as a final 2 somewhat underwhelms me from a reputation point of view, considering we had Alex and Erik still in it at the start of the merge.
However, I'm personally happy for both of them! Lorii will probably win, and she deserves it. As much as I like to poke fun at her gaming abilities, she does always last a long time in these games. Final 4 in Hawaii, Final 6 in All-Stars, and now possibly the winner in Montengro! Well done! Good for Joey too!

I just read Joey's answers. I would say he is doing a good job so far even if the fact he made Erik change his words still bothers me.

Erik simply is a fool for not bringing this up. Simply a fool. I'm glad he didn't, cause he winning again would have been really predictable and boring, but I feel bad for him too, he (presumably) played fair and got outsed by cheaters, yet I also wanna be a smart-ass and point out the idiocity of him sitting on this information. By not doing anything about the cheating, Erik (and anyone else who knew about Jermaine leaking Alumni info) are just as responsible for this mess as Jermaine/Alyssa/Jason are. He/they could have put an end to this crap earlier, and because they didn't, the game suffered and at least 1 honest player, (though likely quite a few more) got screwed not only by cheaters, but by the negligence and possibly cowardness of the "honest" players who knew all about this and did nothing about it. I like Erik, never talked to him, but he seems like a really nice guy from what I've seen and heard. But he deserves some blame too. Think about all the honest players that might have been saved if he had just 'fessed up what he knew. Olivia? Caitlin? Kirin? maybe even more people? I do want to address this because it was something I struggled with. First of all, Alyssa only hinted at the cheating to me twice. The first time, she said something about Joey targeting myself and her and also something about Lorii/Jeffrey/Joey wanting to take out Jason. However, she never told me where she got this information and refused to tell me when I asked. Although I was very suspicious, Alyssa was a very good friend of mine, and I am the type of person that really values friendship and trust. It would be like if a good friend of mine told me a secret that I had to keep to myself....I would NEVER fuck them over in revealing that. I take that shit seriously. And no part of this game would be worth losing my friendship with Alyssa (that's the way I saw it then). I NEVER approved of her cheating. I hate cheaters, I am a host myself, and I would never cheat. I don't get why people play if they have to cheat...lol. Doesn't that take away from your placing completely if you need to get help to do it? The only time I KNEW she was cheating was ironically the night before she backstabbed me and I was voted out. She sent me the IM from Jermaine. I have NO fucking clue why she did this because I am pretty sure she was planning to vote me out then, and it was totally stupid of her, but whatever. I had been VERY weary of Alyssa and Jason flipping at that point, but the fact that she sent me this made me wonder....why the hell would she do that if she were gonna vote me out? Lol. And then she did, I was pissed, hurt, and as far as I'm concerned any loyalty I had to her gone, so I felt fine revealing what she did all game and am glad the rest of the game wasn't effected by it. As for their effect on the game, I did a pretty good job of NEVER giving Alyssa and Jason what they wanted in the game lol. They wanted Olyvia out, I helped make people vote Fiq. They wanted Olyvia again, I pushed for Caitlin. Then they wanted Jeffrey out, but I helped push for Olyvia to leave. I think this is part of the reason they got so frustrated with me and decided to make a move against me, lol. If anyone got really hurt by their cheating, it was me. Jermaine didn't appear to be the biggest fan of me and I can only wonder what he told Alyssa to suddenly make her go from loving me to wanting to vote me out immediately. Either way, I totally deserved it for trusting Alyssa and not coming forward sooner, although to be completely honest with Alyssa and Jason gone, I was still down in numbers and woulda been next out anyway. I needed them =P. But if they didn't cheat and didn't decide to change sides, who knows.. Reading this whole Alumni thing was kinda annoying since me and my alliance was majorly hayted and wanted to be taken down. I understand why, we were all friends and boring and blah blah. But I'm really sorry Sandy that you decided to cast my ENTIRE alliance from Peru (5 Peruvians? srsly?), and then Alex and Robbie, and expect me and them to just turn on each other and rip each other apart in a bloody ass battle. I knew from the moment I saw the cast that we'd end up being either boring or all hating each other, and I'm truly sorry that Alex and Britt didn't fuck me over, but cmon. I tried getting to know new people and giving them a shot (Lorii and Joey), I tried to fix your casting mistake with Peru by taking Zack out first, but even then it wasn't enough. WhatEVer! I loved my alliance and I think they all played amazingly too. And that's all that matters I guess. Anywho...Morgan <3. Tom <3. Andy whoever you are <3. Seething Marshmallow Park HAYT <///3. Overall, really cool to see a relatively active alumni although I don't know how happy I am about all the game information being shared here and what happened with it. I would definitely suggest Sandy pick out only a very select few dedicated writers that he KNOWS he can trust and let them see confessionals and blog the way blogging should be done! Then maybe have another area for the normal alumni where absolutely no game information is shared but they can still root people on and whatever. Thanks everyone for paying some attention and making this season more fun . BTW, Sandy, where are all of Juice's interviews from Week 1? I can't find them. Erik out!

You were definitely one of my favorites pre-game and I thought it would've been amazing had you been able to win again. I definitely would've loved the chance to play with you! (But we won't get into that fun topic... )The whole cheating thing sucks, but I totally hear you on your take of the situation. I agree with Erik on his "major/lesser" alumni idea. A select few hardcore bloggers versus just a general "hangout" area. That would be great.

Sandy was dumb and deleted all the interviews -_- WTF! At least I still have Allan's :/. And Tom, I thought for sure we'd be playing together and I was super excited to finally be doing it. But....considering everyone else that was cast...it was maybe for the better ^_^. And I still can't help but LOL every time you say you are working on your novel. I just see Stewie from Family guy saying "working on that novel eh?!" hahaha.

lol exactally! Sandy used to let the alumni read them every season. Then someone, (I think Taylor) did a no no and brought up someone's confessional up to a player (I think) or something and they freaked out, so he stopped letting us read them. Lol, I can't believe he'd let the alumni read the confessionals last season! Craziness! lol wtf man. I love how people just use my name wherever they see fitting. I'm probably the last person that would try to affect a game when I'm not in it Just because I am hardcore competitive during the game, doesnt mean I am going to try to interfere from the outside.. So no Andrew, it wasnt me. The only time Sandy was unhappy with something I did while being on alumni was in Peru when I was in a chatroom with some of the players. I wasnt revealing anything, just chatting and listening, but Sandy still didnt like it. To avoid any more problems, I removed myself from the alumni so I could talk with some of the players without breaking Sandy's rules. just sayin
