Here you go Queen Ash
1) What was your biggest lie in the game and how did it help you get here?
That is hard to say to be honest. Outright lies were not used in the game for tremendous effect in my opinion as the lines were so clearly defined between the two alliances that lying was really pointless as you knew, or atleast IMO you did, if you wanted someone to flip you needed to be straight up and honest with them. So I don't think any lie was actually helpful in getting me here because it didn't actually help to lie.
2) What move do you regret making, if at all and why?
The biggest regret for me personally was probably trusting Aras as much as I did. I knew coming to the merge that he was most likely to flip however I trusted him way too much and this was obviously a mistake as Cirie, Nat and Rob are all lower then I wanted.
3) Please tell me who was the mastermind behind each jury members elimination and tell me what you know about those rounds.
Cirie – Hard to say but Yul/Taj. Not in that alliance so I would not be sure.
Amanda – Me? I would hardly say a TB is a mastermind move though.
Yul – Me although not in the intended way, I thought we had the numbers but it turned into a TB.
Rob C – Aras. He controlled this vote and we thought we had him
Natalie – Once again Aras. He had full power at this stage.
Ethan – Me and Aras. I thought Aras had a problem with Ethan and I told him of the idol for the first time thinking that we could use its power to lure him. It seemed to work. I also have to give credit to Tom for telling me of Aras and another game with an idol. I then gave Ash/you my idol which saved a TB.
Mookie – Idk if anyone could be the mastermind behind it. You beat him in the TB aswell and Aras was the one who told us to vote for Mookie so I truly don’t know. You were the reason Mookie left so you?
Taj – Tom. I can’t take any credit, I stood by my ally and he pulled it off.
Aras- Me, there were fears that he may have a black vote however I reassured them and saved Ash.
Terry – The Judges
Ashley – Me as this was the best decision I felt if I am to win.
4) Do you both think you would have made it this far had I not flipped at merge?
No. Very simple. We would of lost the idol at F13 and at F12 wouldn’t have the numbers to force a tie. However I knew who you were then and I trusted you pretty much 100% and this is reinforced by how I gave you an idol as safe keeping later on.
5) Who do you think would be in the final 2 if there was no outcast twist?
Without the outcast twist it is impossible to tell IMO. This ENTIRE game changes and it really is impossible to tell. If we try simple things like no Ethan and Tom. Then merge at F11 and everything else happened the same, I would have taken you over Terry as I intended to keep my loyalty.
6) If I didn't have real life stuff come up, I would have had more then 2 hours to do challenge, and not to be cocky, but I think I would have won in that case. Tell me what you think would have happened in that case.
I think you would have taken Tom because I think you would think I would be harder to beat and if you took Tom you would think it would be easier to beat him.
7) If the final 2 was me and Randy/Tom, who would win?
You would beat Tom I imagine due to the whole surviving since F20 and underdog status. You also did all this while mainly using PMs which I find amazing as I doubt many could do that and it is quite a disadvantage so how you achieved all you did I do not know.
8) Tell me what made you two decide to form an alliance to counter the Yul/Taj/Ethan..etc. alliance.
Um I had been planning it from the first time I was in it as I knew I stood no better chance of getting higher then 9th I think. Also I had been developing relationships along the way and I didn’t want to betray people like Nat, Rob, Cirie, Colby, Corrine etc. It was never really a decision to counter Yul/Taj but more of a matter of timing in my case. This time was when I voted James out and I believe I first aligned with you in this time period.
9) Why should I vote for you?
Because I believe I played a much better game than Tom in terms of strategy, socially and physically as well. I promised you F3, expecting a F3 while Tom and me were close after Nat left he was more online so I grew closer to him which led to a F2 “just in case.” I kept my word to you and if there is any doubt on how much I trusted you I think the idol situation should reassure you there.
10) Since I do not know much about either of you, and from what I saw in gameplay, I want you to tell me in a paragraph or two about who you are as a person outside the game/tell me a little bit about yourself.
My name is Zac and I am an 18 year old male from New Zealand
. I am going to university next year and will take a Bacholar of Commerce in the aim of working in something like the Foreign Exchange market. I play and watch many sports... I play Cricket, Football (soccer) and Tennis regularly and watch these three sports as well. My favourite TV show right now at the moment would have to be Fringe or Chuck. In the past I have liked Lost and Heroes when it first started was pretty good. I have two pets, one dog who is 2 years old named Ben and a cat aswell. Hope thats good enough
11) What was the best move in general in your opinion and why?
I think the formation of AAA as a whole was probably the best move as it guaranteed a lot of people’s security in the game and a lot of the people who were a part of it made it to the 2 tribal phase and beyond.
12) What was the dumbest move in the game in your opinion and why?
Frosti and the drama he caused. It was really dumb and screwed his entire game and led to him leaving so early. I just think it was so pointless.
13) Who is your favorite player from this game and explain why. One from Jury and one from pre-jury.
I am going to answer this in terms of gameplay. Yul. Maybe because his style is similar to mine but everything he does is normally epic. I would love to watch him play on TV. Boston Rob I prefer as a pre-jur player over Frosti for several reasons. One is he is a better player and I think like Yul, offers entertainment with his strategic/social gameplay.
14) Do you feel that you represented the player you played as well?
No lol. I chose Randy because I was last to sign up and he was the only player left. I had no real option. I don’t think I played anywhere near the same as Randy.
15) Here are 10 mean words: retarded, bipolar, moronic, delusional, brainless, insipid [refering to personality], heartless, clusterfucktard, cunt [in the whole extent], ambiguous.
Assign one to each juror and tell me why. You can't be nice about anything during this question or you will have a harder time getting my vote.
Won’t answer this as it is not in line with how I played the game I feel and I think it is kinda sad if I am willing to give up my integrity to answer this question to get a vote.
16) Use a nice word and attach it to a juror and explain why you did.
Cirie – Determined. If Cirie wanted something she would go out and get it. You could trust her to do anything and know she would deliver. EXTREMELY creative aswell.
Amanda – Kind. Amanda is very kind and nice in the chats I have had with her.
Yul – Respect. You have to respect this guy as he plays a great game and is a good guy to talk to.
Natalie – Sweet. She is like the nicest/sweetest person you will meet in these games.
Rob C – Hillarious. Rob is probably one of the funniest guys I have met online and I would be surprised if you are not laughing in mins after talking with him.
Ethan – Knowledgable. Ethan has a great knowledge of survivor and I think in general is quite knowledge about the world and such.
Mookie – Trustworthy. Mookie is someone you can trust with secrets I think and he will always tell you what he thinks which is very good.
Taj – Honour. I think Taj carries with her a lot of honour and I think she is protective of her honour and I think this is a very good trait to have.
Aras – Social. I had lots of fun talking with Aras about things outside the game and I think it’s great he can do that.
Terry – Considerate. I think Terry is quite considerate of other players in the game.
Ash – Loyal. I think Ash was very loyal in the game and the fact I could give you the idol and ask for it back I think is a display of your loyalty and I was glad I could trust you that much.
17) If you had the power to nullify a juror's vote who would you nullify and why?
Well before the recent answers I would have said Ethan as we certainly had a falling out during the middle of the game however based on his post it has shown me he has put it behind him and we can move forward.
18) Name as many things that you know about me...... I know this has nothing to do with the game itself....but to me....getting to know each person in this game is very very important.
I know several things about you such as your name and your age but based on the earlier drama in the game where you asked it to be removed, I will not repeat it here. You live in Canada and I believe around Toronto and recently had a week of orientation at university and this is why you didn’t have enough time for the challenge. You know Boston Rob in real life but you are NOT dating him as you often get harassed about. You also have a Mac Computer and thats why you dominated the TB against Mookie in what was probably the best single performance of the season.
19) Make me feel good about myself and my game and whatever. Has to be a minimum of one paragraph or more. At least 5 sentences.
Well I think you have a terrific personality Ash and I think this is why your social game is so good, and you only use PMs! I think you were very good in the challenges and despite limited time in the final challenge, came very close to winning in the end. I think your social game is great and this is proven by your amazing endurance in the game and survival ability. It was certainly great talking to you and also hosting you in Patagonia. You were a great ally and I was very pleased to work with you and would happily do so again as I can trust you and as I mentioned before, the fact I gave you a HII for safe keeping and you gave it back, shows that I can trust you alot. So thanks for playing this game with me and putting up with my constant reminders to come on AIM haha
20) Compare each juror to a song from Itunes top 100 and explain why and post the link.
Cirie – Airplanes. This song is about wishing and I wish Cirie hadn’t been voted out as early as she was.
Amanda – Stuck Like Glue. Amanda was very loyal to her alliance and kept with them till she was voted out. Her loyalty to Darrah at an earlier stage further emphasises this song.
Yul – Club Can’t Handle Me – Everyone saw you as a threat and it was why we voted you out at this stage.
Rob C – Dynamite – This song is a lot of fun and Rob is just like this.
Natalie – Smile. You constantly make everyone smile because you are so nice
Ethan – Break Your Heart. Ok this is probably an overreaction but it was disappointing when he produced the fake convo about me however I am glad we have moved on from it.
Mookie – I Like It. I have said many times that I liked Mookie’s style of play and also both him and Enrique speak Spanish!
Taj – Not Afraid. Not scared to give her opinions or afraid of any other player in the game.
Aras - Love The Way You Lie by Eminem/Rihanna. I always seemed to believe Aras even though I knew I shouldn’t.
Terry – Ridin Solo – He was the last member of his alliance in the end so was all by himself/solo.
Ash – Bulletproof. Obviously your survival ability is reflected in this song.
21) Pick two jurors you think should be in pre-jury and pick two pre-jurors you think should be jury and explain why.
Boston Rob – By reputation a terrific player and I would want him on the jury for this reason.
Frosti – Great entertainment and a important part of the first 7 rounds.
Amanda – I don’t know Amanda’s gameplay well enough so I will pick her.
Ethn – This is quite hard and I think he played a very good game however I am picking him as he was voted off already.
22) Compare each juror to a color and explain why.
Cirie – Grey. Colour of stability and security and I felt Cirie was a very safe person.
Amanda – Light Blue. Peaceful and similar to her original tribe of Casaya.
Yul – Blue. Loved his Casayan tribe so I think blue fits him well. Also blue is confident and I think Yul has confidence and also gives others confidence.
Rob C – Red is the colour of daring and I think Rob is like this. Also energetic which is another “red” trait.
Natalie – Yellow. Very friendly and joyful.
Ethan – Orange. Is a warmth colour and has energy for the game.
Mookie – Green is the colour of safety and I think this relates to Mookie in that you can trust in him, even if he is your enemy in the game.
Taj – Purple. The colour of wisdom and I think Taj is very wise and also the colour of passion which I think she had for the game.
Aras – Black. Often the colour of power and Aras had a lot of power early in the game.
Terry – Light red. Not as daring as Rob but he has a passion for the game.
Ash – Yellow. Yellow is a fun colour and I think Ash is a very fun girl to be around.
23) What 3 things do you wish you could redo or take back.
1) We heard rumours they were voting for Rob and we thought it was just lies when in fact it turned out true and he was voted out while we had the idol. Due to the fact we had the knowledge, unlike the Cirie vote, I would of given Rob the idol to give us a 5-4 advantage, with or without Aras.
2) The way I handled the James vote. I really kinda messed that up for several reasons. I made him pissed and therefore his alliance pissed at me. What more I should of talked to more people aside from Aras about blindsiding him so that I could at least try get more people to join me in leaving AAA. It was kinda reckless however I don’t regret the move itself after talking to people and knowing my reasoning for it was good.
3) The situation where Ethan asked me to help get Frosti out, the vote Paloma went as Coach betrayed me and it put a huge target on my back from Frosti and meant I could no longer operate behind the scenes or quietly as he was making sure everyone knew
24) Let's say this game was real and for the money. Who do you think would have lasting relations after the game, talk about every juror, and who and why, etc. (if the game went the same way this went) Who would remain friends? Who would never talk to the other again? etc.
I think I would keep in contact with most of the jury after the game in particular everyone in my alliance, probably Taj, Yul, Ethan. Mookie I quite like as he is a really good guy. Terry and Aras I think would have a lasting relation beyond the game. I think Taj and Tom would never talk, Yul and Terry/Aras would never talk.
25) If this was heroes vs. villains, who would be a hero and who would be a villain and why. (from jury)
Cirie – Hero. She was a pure workhorse and you could trust her to get things done when it came to crunch time.
Amanda – Hero. The sweetheart of the Sabaya alliance, their answer to Natalie effectively.
Yul – Villain. The Godfather. What more needs to be said?
Rob C – Hero. I suppose Rob could be a villain depending on your perspective but I think he is defiantly a Hero to me and the whole mutiny saga proved this to me.
Natalie – Hero. The Sweetheart and she was extremely nice throughout the game and a completely loyal ally.
Ethan – Villain. Ethan isn’t afraid to say what he thinks and this can come off as villainous. More a villain by association.
Mookie – I would say Villain based on the appearance but getting to know him, I reckon you could say Hero.
Taj – Villain. As this is in my perspective, she pissed off members from my alliance however was completely loyal to her own alliance.
Aras – Villain. The ultimate villain. Flipped back and forward all game and no one knew what he would do next.
Terry – Villain. Turned on his alliance for his own benefit at the end. Probably a good move but still villainous.
Ash – Hero. The underdog of the series, constantly had to survive and amazingly did it.
26) Compare each juror to a movie star and explain why.
Cirie - Anna Hendricks - Smart, funny
Amanda - Penelope Cruz - quiet, beautiful
Yul - Nicholas Cage - often the leader
Rob - Ashton Kutcher - funny
Natalie - Jennifer Aniston - sweetheart
Ethan - George Clooney - strong lead acotr
Mookie - Matt Damon - good friend and straight up.
Taj - Queen Latifah - Not afraid to speak her mind
Aras - Robert Pattinson - You either love him or hate him
Terry - Jeff Bridges - strong quiet type
Ashley - Sandra Bullock - proven she can stand on her own
27) Give each juror a nickname and explain why.
“The Machine” Cirie was able to impress me time and time again with what she could accomplish whether it was strategically, socially or in the challenges. Who could forget her effort in the sneak challenge?
“The Nice Girl” – Amanda is so nice and I think a basic nickname like this is quite good for her as it captures her personality.
“The Godfather” – Yul just has to have this nickname for AS. No other way around it.
“The Joker” – Rob is a funny guy and I remember when he pulled out a Joker picture so I think The Joker is good.
“The Sweetheart” – Nat’s nickname for S1 and it is so true.
“The Hitman” – Ok, Ethan got mocked alot for his connection with Yul, but you can’t deny he proved himself when Yul left to the doubters. I don’t think “sidekick” does him justice but I know Yul can count on him to get things done so The Hitman I like.
“The Conquistador” – I think you were a great soldier and I know you speak Spanish so I think this is a good nickname.
“The Queen Bee” A complete steal from Tom’s poster but it is perfect for Taj I feel.
“The Assassin” You never knew when Aras was gonna do something and often it would be after he voted against you. This makes him The Assassin in that he can get anyone.
“The Silent Threat” Terry was the guy who was hidden behind the scenes but late in the merge arose to the occasion and did what was best to get further in the game.
“The Underdog” Ash was the pure fighter this season and was the person who fought against the odds the longest.
28) Compare each juror to a Pokemon (google and figure it out if you don't know) and explain why.
