Well hello again girls, congratulations for making Final 3, it's a great accomplishment seeing as all the crap that went on in the game, so congrats for that. Onto my question/statements.
Here's where my head is at:
Candice - I am okay with you. I mean I voted for you and you returned the favor. I can honestly say I didn't want you gone, but I stuck with my allies.
Erinn - Out of the F3, you have the worst shot of winning in my eyes. You talked about your social game, but whether it happened or not, I think AIM is a VERY important part of this game. It is so different talking on the board than in real time on AIM, you can't get immediate reactions and that alone made me want you gone out of our original tribe the most. The only original Thebes member I talked to less than you was Colby. So good luck getting my vote (since you will have to AMAZE me with your answers, if you don't care to try by all means don't answer my questions).
Kelly - Like Candice, I don't have issues with you.
One of the hot topics at Ponderosa are pre-game alliances. I would like you all to name all (if any) pre-game alliances you had. I just want the truth, it won't automatically cost you my vote.
The second thing is that I feel like some (if not all) of you played the Russell-esque game. You were so focused on making it to the end that you didn't try to gain jury favor as you were climbing to the top 3. So I would like to know if you would change up the order people left or change the way things went down (i.e. saying something you regret, not saying something, or anything in general).
That's it from me. Good luck and may the second best women win (since Sydney is the best )

First Jeff this game is not about aim its about surviving,with aim or not and if you are voting based on who you talked to the most then I have nothing to say go ahead I didn't have any pre-game alliances and I have no regrets,I did everything and made every move for a reason to benefit myself I think I played a good game,and I am sure I am not the worst of the 3

Candice - I am okay with you. I mean I voted for you and you returned the favor. I can honestly say I didn't want you gone, but I stuck with my allies. Well thank you Jeff. I'm glad that you don't have any issues with me because as you said, I returned the favor I was under the impression I was your ally and that original Thebes was gonna stick together at merge so it came as a shock to me when you guys voted me out. I don't know what would of happened if you guys never voted me but it did make my decisions much easier, lol. One of the hot topics at Ponderosa are pre-game alliances. I would like you all to name all (if any) pre-game alliances you had. I just want the truth, it won't automatically cost you my vote.It depends what you mean by pre-game alliances, lol. I know people seem to use it for two ways. 1] Joining the game with people you know. 2] Knowing people in the game. So I guess I'll answer for both ways. 1I didn't join this game with anyone. I never told anyone I was applying so I came into this game by myself. 2My intentions were to alias at first and for the most part, I did. I did figure out some people's identities but never acknowledged it. Even though I knew who some people were from other games it didn't affect my decisions or help me out whatsoever. I knew Greg, Jacquie & Stephen. They were the first three booted from Karnak so obviously that never helped me out since I was on Thebes, lol. I found out I knew Kelly but our relationship was based on THIS game. It wouldn't of mattered had we known eachother but due to a tribeswap, I got close to her and eventually stuck with her cuz of what happened the first round of merge. Last but not least, Sydney is another person I've played with before but she had no clue who I was until we were on different sides. We get along outside the game and clearly I never used our previous relationship to my advantage. So in my opinion, I had 0 pre-game alliances because I never used any to my advantage / didn't join the game with people I knew. It's not my fault that people that know me, joined as well. The second thing is that I feel like some (if not all) of you played the Russell-esque game. You were so focused on making it to the end that you didn't try to gain jury favor as you were climbing to the top 3. So I would like to know if you would change up the order people left or change the way things went down (i.e. saying something you regret, not saying something, or anything in general).I don't feel like I played a Russell-esque game. I never told pointless lies and tried to avoid making unnecessary deals cuz I knew I couldn't keep them. You can ask Charlie to back me up with that. I declined a few of his deals because I didn't wanna lead him and thought there was no point in accepting when I had other loyalties. I did mention in my statement how you can't always be 100% truthful because in a game like this, it could backfire. People will take advantage of you and if others aren't being truthful to you, then why should you be honest? The times that I did have to lie was for strategic reasons. I also kept my word most of the time. The only jurors I feel should be a bit mad at me is Benry and Brady. Onto your question; if I could change the order people left... I would prefer if the final 6 alliance I was apart of, made final 6, lol. It almost happened since the F6 consisted of 5 members. If that happened then I wouldn't of backstabbed Brady. That is one thing I regret because he was loyal to me but due to the tomb, everyone was paranoid. And it didn't help that he came across as too controlling. I regret telling Edgardo that the only reason he made F5 is thanks to the tomb + riding Charlie's coattail, lol. I was just frustrated at the game and pissed off at his attitude. I felt like he was being cocky and just rude for no reason. Like Fabio was just voted out and Edgardo insisted on kicking him when he was down. I shoulda kept it to myself cuz no one likes hearing that about themselve and it could also cost me a vote That's pretty much it. I would say something about Charlie and Benry but I think once you pick a side, you stick with them. Even though I liked them a lot, I woulda felt like a bitch turning on my side and it was in my best interest to stick with them. That's it from me. Good luck and may the second best women win (since Sydney is the best )Sydney knows I'm better than her so that means I am the best woman !! But thanks again! Good luck with your decision

This is a SOCIAL game. If I were voting based on who I talked to the most, none of you would get my vote. Although you may think you don't have my vote, you are just digging yourself a bigger hole to not receive one from any juror. You convinced everyone to vote Colby? Ok, when you come back to reality I'd like you to realize that they best move you did in this game is sticking with the two girls next to you, which is also the WORST one since you can't win. The point is you know NOTHING about me and probably many others in this game, which is okay, but like I said it's a very Russell way to play, you didn't think about how you would get votes. Not only do you not deserve to win over Candice or Kelly for your 'performance' in this game, but you probably won't receive a single vote. Congrats on outlasting the 17 of us though.

I would like to add that you never were the one to get Colby voted out...but since your mental state is questionable, I will congratulate you on what you think you did, soo congrats on getting an inactive out thats a HUGE accomplishment, I'm so impressed.

I was being sarcastic because they all seemed so personalized.

Hi Jeff
1) I came into the game knowing one person and that was Stephen. Since I knew him we did plan to work together, but that didn’t work out so well as he was out of the game very early. At that point, I didn’t have an alliance that I felt I could trust and had to work my way through to the end.
2) Numbers and having majority were a huge part of the votes at merge so in regards to keeping majority I don’t know that I would have changed a lot with the votes, simply because most of the time it was a gamble not knowing where idols were. Decisions on who to vote out were often based on who may or may not have an idol and past votes. As far as things I have said or not said, I wish I had talked to Brady at the time he was eliminated. That was one of the most difficult votes.
Thanks Jeff, if you would like me to clarify anything further just let me know and good luck with your decision.
