Ethan's comments

[Ethan Zohn]

Hey you two. I see that Ashley asked you guys a load of questions and I really have none for either of you. Just comments. Ashley has to make life miserable for you 2 I'm sorry about that.

First off, to Ashley you say to Randy "I personally see you taking Tom over me to the end as a pussies way out. I respected your gameplay a lot, thought you were amazing, but now, you taking Tom over me makes me reconsider if you doubted yourself, and if you did, then I am not so sure if you really deserve to win.."

I have to say get over yourself. You cheated your puzzle score, everyone knows you did. The Idol you used when I left was not even yours it was given to you by Randy, so I credit him with that. You're not more worthy than Tom at all, you are far less worthy. In fact, I think Randy's chances were better with you in the Finals then Tom and he picked Tom I think out of loyalty or friendship.


Anyways, enough of her. To the two Finalists!!!


Tom: Congratulations! You and I were both victims of Frosti early in the game and managed to comeback in an outcast twist. I'm glad to see you made it to the end, you had a rough ride to get there. I know you posted for many hours to beat Amanda in the tiebreaker. We were never really had any alliance after Casaya and I don't really know how involved you were with strategy on the different tribes you been and how you influenced your own survival. You may give me some examples but I think those will be answered somewhere in Ashley's massive overload of annoying questions anyway


Randy: There are basically 3 elements to this game, physical, strategical and social. You are a master of all 3 of them. on the physical side, you won I believe 7 immunity challenges since the merge? I'm too lazy to go back and count but it was truly remarkable, and that's not just physical but also strategical too. You stayed up a full 24 hours to beat yul in the Tiebreaker and that takes a lot of dedication. This doesn't include your involvement in the tribal challenges which was also very extensive.

Strategically you made some brilliant moves in this game. You made the best decision every tribal council, some of the best decisions for you were blindsiding James and relieving yourself from our AAA alliance and giving Ashley the Idol which effectively removed me from the game, after which the remaining Sabaya completely fell apart.

Socially, even though you were a huge target in this game, getting people to vote for you was nearly impossible. You were hardly ever vulnerable due to all the immunities for one, but on Vinnere you had everyone wrapped around your finger so tight, even Mick who you had left in the dark on the plan to get James still would not vote you, and now the moron sits in the pre-jury box.

Overall, I think you played a nearly perfect game, so my vote is for you. You're definitely most worthy of winning this very large, difficult and epic game. Good Luck

Thanks Ethan, I really appreciate it mate. I don't think I will ever forget our slider challenge battle, oddly one of the most memorable moments of the game for me haha.

Thanks Ethan! I do think you are a good competitor it's just that we didn't agree on who we want as allies.

To answer your question, when I came back from being voted out. I think I was always in the know of what was going on, I always voted in the majority and whoever I wanted out went home. This was true for post oucast-pre-jury stage. During the merge I was always involved in the vote decision and I usually give my opinion why so and so should go or why we shouldn't target so and so. I think the biggest thing that helped me get through each round was getting Aras to promise me that he wouldn't write my name down and that made me secure knowing the Sabaya alliance weren't gonna write my name down since they usually ask Aras bout the vote too. The only time I got votes during merge was during the TB between Amanda but after that even without immunity no votes came my way and I was able to turn Terry and Aras against Taj. I respect your decision to voting Randy but I hope the other jury members can see that I was just not an outcast that was getting dragged to the end.

Thanks again, Ethan
