Hi girls - congrats on making it to the end! I'm not going to even pretend to be bitter or anything, because I'm not - I'd first like to aplogize for going mostly MIA a round or two before I was voted out. I was on a long trip with my job and didn't have as much time or computer access as I had expected. But I do respect the host and the game immensely, and I'm not just going to throw away my vote - so, a few questions...
1. The game of Survivor, very generally, is shaped by key moments or turning points. Let's divide the game (by Tribal Councils) into section...Section A (Rounds 1 through 6), Section B (7 through 12), and Section C (Round 13 through the finale). What was your most important move of the game in each section? I'm looking for something that had real influence on how the game played out.
2. What was your least impressive move or quality in the game? How did you overcome that to make it to the end?
Good luck to the three of you!

Hey Benry thx 1. The game of Survivor, very generally, is shaped by key moments or turning points. Let's divide the game (by Tribal Councils) into section...Section A (Rounds 1 through 6), Section B (7 through 12), and Section C (Round 13 through the finale). What was your most important move of the game in each section? I'm looking for something that had real influence on how the game played out.Section A (Rounds 1 through 6) the first thing was that I made an alliance with Candice after that in tribal council 5 the vote was between me and Amanda so I talked to everyone and convinced them to vote Amanda without that I was going to be voted out at that time Section B (7 through 12) I could have flipped many times but I didn't if I did flip the game was going to change completely I wasn't going to make it to get here Section C (Round 13 through the finale) first I am the one who told Candice that Brady is a threat because he is making the decisions that's why we voted him out also I could have flipped Edgardo tried many times to convince me but I didn't because I knew if I flipped Edgardo would never vote Charlie out and going to the final with Charlie is like I'm voting for him to win 2. What was your least impressive move or quality in the game? How did you overcome that to make it to the end?I think I was thinking a bit negative about everything,but I kept convincing myself that I can make it to the end,and I did also I didn't open aim a lot (which seems to be a big problem to everyone) but I survived without it,I talked with people by pms and I made it here without aim,so yea as you can see aim is not a very important thing after all thank you for being a nice juror,unlike the others

1) In the first section of the game I think my biggest move was going right back to the ones that had turned on me in the vote and making sure I had at least made an attempt to stay with them. It wasn't easy to want to trust them at that point, but I knew I could potentially need them in the game and cutting myself off from almost my entire tribe would have been a bad idea. In the second section I think two things really changed the outcome of the game for me, the would be in that section of the game I made my alliance with Candice which helped get both of us to the end. The other thing would also be the vote where I had Brady vote differently from the rest of the alliance and I also had Edgardo believeing I would be voting Brady with him. I don't think either expected it, but it definitely changed how things continued from there. In the final round, I would say playing my idol at a time when had I not, I would have gone home. That move also made it one of the 2 more difficult rounds only because we decided to vote out Fabio and take Erinn further in the game. The second thing in the section of the game is that I also had the idea to give 2 coins to either Charlie or Edgardo and split our votes which would help guarantee the 3 of us making the final 4. 2) This is the 3rd game I have been in that had limited cross tribal communication and I have realized in all 3 that I tend to focus on my original tribe with conversations, etc. But by the time the merge happens I am usaully feeling pretty secure in my alliance and then I tend to not talk as much to those outside of it because I don't want to just lie and backstab for no reason. I'm glad you asked that question, it has really made me think and I may need to rethink how I deal with the rules of no cross tribe communication in the future. Thanks Benry and good luck with your decision

I was on a long trip with my job and didn't have as much time or computer access as I had expected. But I do respect the host and the game immensely, and I'm not just going to throw away my vote - so, a few questions...Thanks Benry 1. The game of Survivor, very generally, is shaped by key moments or turning points. Let's divide the game (by Tribal Councils) into section...Section A (Rounds 1 through 6), Section B (7 through 12), and Section C (Round 13 through the finale). What was your most important move of the game in each section? I'm looking for something that had real influence on how the game played out.Section AYou ask for the most important move in each section but I feel like there was 3 moves that I made which set me up on my tribe and for the rest of the game. 1- Aligning with Erinn. After the first IC results, we decided to align. I knew I could count on her for the rest of the game and it was good to know that I had one person who wouldn't vote me out. 2- The round Amanda left, I campaigned for her to leave hardcore because I was told by Sydney that Erinn was brought up the most. It didn't make sense to me because Amanda clearly was the least active and I didn't wanna lose my only ally at the time. I spoke with Sydney, Charlie and Jeff... tryna create a majority. I knew Sydney had some kind of connections since she told me she heard from "two" boys and by the time it was morning, the vote was locked in for Amanda. 3- Making a deal with Sydney and Charlie. Even tho Sydney ends up voting me at the merge, Charlie didn't and had my back till the end. When Edgardo used the idol @ the F6, Charlie said he was pressured to vote me but didn't. If he did vote me out with Edgardo, I woulda been out. Section B1- Aligning with Kelly. We got a long well and it was rare to find someone as loyal (besides Erinn) as she was. Like she told me everything and even gave me her coins, ect. 2- I also kept close to Brady as well on new Thebes. It did help me out since he was able to get Ed + Fabio to vote with us @ the merge. 3- Using my prize at the F11. It allowed my side to have majority. Section CI feel like most of the decisions in this section were made as a group so I'm not gonna claim credit. I do think I was in the best position at this time as I had Erinn/Kelly/Fabio but also Charlie on the side. I know winning competitions is not really a move but I think it definitely is the main reason why all three of us are in the finals. Had I not won the last 2, then the final 3 definitely would of been different. Though I did set myself up to make finals but given the jury, it woulda been an auto loss I had a chance to flip but I never because it was in my best interest to stick with the girls to have a chance to win plus I am loyal, lol. So I guess sticking with the girls, could be seen as a move. 2. What was your least impressive move or quality in the game? How did you overcome that to make it to the end?I wasn't really sure what to say for this one #_# but I think my least impressive move was bitching Edgardo out at the TC where Fabio was voted out. I shoulda kept it to myself because I could have been a target after that. It was pretty stupid to do it since it was the F5 and you never know if he had another idol, lol. I wasn't thinking at the time and lost my cool. How did I overcome it? Well I won the next IC so it didn't matter, lol. But next time I will write it in my diary instead Thanks again and good luck with your decision.
