1. After you won the final immunity challenge you promised you were taking me to the final 2 with you and voting out Lorii only to backstab me for no reason. Why did you do such a stupid thing? Do you not value my jury vote? You could have easily said look Ev I'm really sorry but Im voting you out I hope you understand but no you wanted to blindside me for no reason why?
I could be wrong but I don't EVER remember promising you I was going to take you to the final two, AFTER I won the final immunity challenge. I know I promised you that before I won, but I don't think I ever did after. I mean right after I won immunity, Sandy gave me THIRTY seconds to vote one of you out. I barely had enough time to cast my vote, let alone IM you and promise I was taking you.
However I did promise you BEFORE I won that I was going to take you to the final two, and that was for a very specific reason. When I tied the vote at final four, I figured you'd start to doubt me. I'm sure you did. Therefore, I had to convince you that you were still my number one, so in case YOU won the final immunity challenge you would still take me. I wanted you to feel like I didn't betray you when I voted out Tucker, because I feared you might vote me out instead of Lorii if you won final immunity. Therefore I set myself up so that in the event that ANY of the three of us won that last challenge, I would make the final two regardless.
And as I mentioned before AFTER I won I had no chance to apologize and tell you I was voting you out because I only had thirty seconds to make my decision or my immunity would be invalid. Therefore, I just braced myself for the words you'd have for me and voted you out in the limited time frame that I had.
2. You've made it pretty clear that you had no problem lying to and backstabbing everybody in this game except for Lorii. What is it about Lorii that is so great and what is it about the rest of us that is so shitty that you felt the need to lie and betray all of us but you could never do that to Lorii?
I don't think any of you are shitty people. I've never called any of you that in conversations, in my journal, or otherwise. I genuinely got along with and enjoyed the majority of the people in this game. Lorii was just someone who I connected with on a deeper level. It is nothing against the rest of you. Sometimes we just click with some people and not others. I knew I could trust Lorii, and clearly that was a good decision on my part because she never lied to me or betrayed me.
That is not to say that you would have betrayed me. I knew you were loyal to me Evan and you did play a big role in me getting where I am. I knew you had my back and were always a vote in my corner. However, my relationship with Lorii started on day one and was rock solid once Robbie was voted out. Not only that but when we all grouped up, Lorii and I were down 3-2 in numbers in our alliance, so we got even closer that way and we just stuck together, played strategically, and ended up in the final two.
3. When you voted me out you told me it was because you met Lorii before me and you aligned with her earlier on in the game than you did with me. I personally think that's a really shitty reason to backstab someone and I would like to know who you think you had a better chance against in the finals me or Lorii?
Evan you said yourself the jury hated me the most. Why they do, I'm still not sure, lol, and I'm curious to read the ponderosa threads when the game is over and done with. If I really wanted to I could have thrown the last immunity challenge and let either of you take me to the final two. However, I wanted that reassurance that I was safe. I didn't win with the intent of warming my heart by betraying you. I did it to guarantee my own position in the final two. It is true that Lorii and I were closer than I was to you, and I did feel a sense of loyalty to her that trumped my loyalty to you.
As I mentioned, you said of the final four I was least likely to win the game anyway, so does it really matter which of you I took since I was going to lose anyway. I'm honestly not sure who I had a better chance against. I took Lorii firstly because my loyalty was strongest with her.
Secondly, I took Lorii because for the most part we made the same moves and betrayed the same people. There are some things she can take credit for, and some moves I can take credit for. But the fact of the matter is the jury was essentially betrayed by both of us, so if you were going to hold something against me, you'd have to hold it against Lorii as well. The only exception to that is you, because I betrayed you and she didnt. It was a risk I was willing to take because I did not want Lorii to be my only option in the event that she got voted out and I wanted to insure I had as much protection as I could get once we reached the end of the game.
4. Which juror do you believe is the least intelligent and why?
It is hard to say. An easy answer would be Alex, because that is how he came off to many people in the game, but if that was his strategy all along than he is probably one of the most intelligent people in this game.
I kid you not I had a conversation about intelligence yesterday with my friend Jenn, and I said it was very interesting how EVERYONE in the world is smart about something. For example, her dad is as dumb as a doorknob, but he's a mechanic and a fucking genius when it comes to cars.
Just because you may not be the most intelligent person in one area, does not mean you can't be a genius in another and I think the same holds true for this game. Some people are not immunity threats, but they are SOCIAL threats. Some people are intelligent in challenges, but don't know how to interact with people. I think for the most part the final group of us all excelled in one aspect or another.
5. If you could've had your ideal plan how far would I have gotten and why?
You would have been in the Final 6 or 5 for me at least. In an ideal world Robbie and Lorii would obviously be my final two people with me because I was the closest to them and trusted them 100 percent. Tucker I'd want to keep late in the game because I had so much fun getting to know him and building a friendship with him. You and RB are in a similar boat as in I felt you were both very loyal to me, but we were not as close as I was with the three mentioned above. So while Robbie and Lorii would be my top two, I'd have to say 4th thru 6th is where I would want you in my ideal plan.
