[Eliza Orlins]

Hello, Amanda and Greg. Congratulations on making it to the Final 2, I think you both deserve to be where you are. But it's a 2 way street. You deserve it more than some, and less than others.
Before going into the questions. let me write some statement about you two. I will go in alphabetical order, so you don't think I am biased. (Which would be fun ) And making Final 2 doesn't mean you had the best stragegies. Some people may have been screwed, because of others, so that kinda doesn't count. But it doesn't mean you played bad.
Sorry if I am a little harsh, just thought I'd say in advance.

Amanda:
~ Hey, Mandyyyy. I do like you, but that doesn't mean I will be too nice. I think you played nice, but didn't do too big moves. You were mainly using PMs and some things happened through AIM. And please don't pull out a Katie (that's because what happened at James' question) It seems you stepped up your game at one point and that's what I like. However, you actually never gave an idea who to vote for. I mean, we all agreed on who to vote for, but do you know why the order was like this? It kinda was pre-made, if I can say so. However I am really happy I talked with you during this game. <3 But I am sure had I voted you out at F9 you'd hate me, ha. I just know you get pretty pissed when you leave.

Greg:
~ PokeManiac much? Lulz. <3 I enjoyed talking with you too, boy, and am happy we had the chance to meet. I think had we merged at 10 it'd of been different, so I am happy how it all turned out. However, you are taking some credit for some things and are contradicting at some points.

I do think you both survived long enough and had a chance to talk with a lot of us, who made merge, for a long time. So you should be able to talk about us. I am looking for who played better, because if I can't win, I think the best one left should. And that you made Final 2 doesn't mean you had the best strategies, just saying.
Let me go to my questions now. I may have more up later, but these are the ones as for right now.

Questions to both:
Let's say, had the person who was voted out was immune, who would have left? (Amanda, you answer first this one as wel as put reasons. If you answer it first, Greg, your chances to get my vote won't increase)
You have had plenty of time to get to know all of us. Give a description of all the jurors in the game. Like, it should be if they were to apply for Survivor. What's their name/age, if you know too. State what is their biggest strenght, what they are weakest at. Also, what kind of character they probably would be, if that strategy would work. (Like if they would be a bitch, challenge whore, puppet master. You know the roles)
Now, list who you think deserves to make All-Stars. That's not really important, it won't decide my vote, in that meaning, but I want to see your opinion. It has to be 3-5 people. Also, what would their description be if they were to make AS? Explain.
Explain me why in the world you felit like underdogs? IT was pre-merge, that's it. Your status changed, so it doesn't make ense.
Now, you know the 3 parts of the game. Challenges, socializing and strategizing. Explain me how you were better in those more than your opponent. It takes 2/3, so if you know you weren't better at one for sure, don't be too scared. This is very important, because I want the better one to win.

I am not bitter against you, guys, and I understand you would have voted me out at Final 3. I wish you the best of luck and may the better one win. Whoever takes second must be proud as well, this game has been crazy.

P.S. I just lke Rameking, and I thought it'd be silly to put it, that's why this threads is titled like this.

[Eliza Orlins]

The first question is like:

If Alicia was immune at Final 9, _____ would leave, because ______.
If Stephenie was immune at Final 8, _____ would leave, because _____.

And going on.

[Greg Buis]

Let's say, had the person who was voted out was immune, who would have left? (Amanda, you answer first this one as wel as put reasons. If you answer it first, Greg, your chances to get my vote won't increase)

Final 9: If Alicia won immunity that round then Jeanne would've been voted out. JABEG would've done what initially they wanted to do.

Final 8: If Stephenie won immunity that round then Jeanne would have been voted out. JABEG kept going after her until we could finally get her.

Final 7: If Jeanne would've been immune then James would have been voted off. After Steph tried to flip the votes and save Alicia, JABEG was sticking together no matter what.

Final 6: If James were to have won immunity that round I'm pretty sure Jamie would have been voted out. Of course, this is assuming that everyone voted the way I think they would have. I really wanted an Eliza-Greg-Amanda Final three so I think that Jamie would have left.

Final 5: If Brook won immunity this round then it would have been Amanda and I's original plan and that was to cut Jamie loose at Final Five. So he would have left.

Final 4: If Jamie won immunity this round it would have sucked but I think it would've been a tie between you and myself. I would never vote out Amanda and she would've never voted out me and I know Jamie would've voted for me so you probably would have went with him to take out the bigger threat. Again, this is all just assumption.

Final 3: If you would have won immunity then I would have been voted out. Unfortunately, but that immunity was crucial for you and I seeing as we both would've voted each other out at Final Three.




You have had plenty of time to get to know all of us. Give a description of all the jurors in the game. Like, it should be if they were to apply for Survivor. What's their name/age, if you know too. State what is their biggest strenght, what they are weakest at. Also, what kind of charcater they probably would be, if they strategy would work.

7. Alicia Calaway: I think Alicia's biggest strength is speed competitions. I didn't really get to know her that well and I apologize Alicia, but from what I've seen of your comp skills it was very impressive. I think your weakness in the game was paranoia. You got a vote at one tribal council and instantly thought you were next to go. Instead of just chillin' and listening to see what was going on. The character I think you played in this game was the out-of-nowhere character. You went from, what I've seen, under the radar and came out swinging.

6. Stephenie LaGrossa: I think Steph's biggest strength is she's able to lead a whole army of people. IN games I've seen her play in she's in single-handedly able to get a group of people and create an alliance. She's a strong leader. Her weakness is probably her mouth. I think her mouth gets her into trouble a lot in ORGs. There's a time and place for everything, but sometimes when she pops off it bites her in the ass, unfortunately. As cliche as it sounds, it can't get more accurate than this, but you were The Bitch. I mean, do I even need a reason? lol.

5. Jeanne Hebert: I think your biggest strength has got to be your will. You seem to never give up no matter what and I know I keep harping on this attribute of yours, but I really love that about you. When the going gets tough, Jeanne stays right where she is and battles it out. I think your weakness would have to be not being able to surround yourself with allies. Maybe it's different in other games, but I am just basing this all off of Socotra. It seemed that you kept flip-flopping back and forth between alliances and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. In this case I don't think it did. :x If you had to get a character it would have to be the silent, but deadly person. No one knows what's going on in your head, but whatever it is works for ya'.

4. James Miller: Obviously, your biggest strength is your wording. You know how to manipulate text and make the person your talking to seem like your ONLY ally and that's very impressive. I think your weakness would have to that you rely on others too much. I think you need to step up and try to be the leader once in awhile. The character I depict you as is the calm, cool, and collected type. You never seemed antsy or anything. Always chilled out and thought things through.

3. Brook Geraghty: I think your strength is your optimism. You have such a good heart and the fact that you're always happy will get you very far. You never seemed down and out and you always checked a cloud for a silver lining. Your weakness is a double-edge sword. With being carefree and happy you come off as innocent and naieve, which could get you into trouble. You seem pretty gullible and that's never a good thing. Your character I chose for you is the Happy-Go-Lucky person. You always had your chin held high and nothing ever got you down.

2. Jamie Newton: I think your strength wold have to be your luck and your competitive attitude. You're like a recipe for what a good player needs: Confidence, awareness, and most importantly luck, which you have tons of. I'd have to say that your biggest weakness is at times you can be irrational and stubborn. When you have a target in mind you won't stop till you get them out EVEN if it's in the worst case for you. You play with your heart on your sleeve. The character I see you as is The Jock. You're good at competitions, you have confidence, you're very lucky, BUT you can get cocky and be very stubborn.

1. Eliza Orlins: I think your strength, Eliza, is your head. You a very smart individual and I do believe that you were two or three steps ahead of everyone in this game. You can think clearly, lay every plan out on the table, dissect them, and choose which is best for you. Your weakness, to me, would have to be the physical aspect of the game. I don't know if it was your strategy to throw comps or anything so I'm going off of what I've seen. I think your biggest downfall was the physical aspect of the game, because you have the brains part own pat. Now, don't be mad at this, but with the combination of brains and the lack of brawn, your character, to me, seems like the Bookworm. Please, don't take offense this at all; I'm one myself in real life. It's just with that combo I see you as that.



Now, list who you think deserves to make All-Stars. That's not really important, it won't decide my vote, in that meaning, but I want to see your opinion. It has to be 3-5 people. Also, what would their description be if they were to make AS? Explain.

With Jeanne and Stephenie already being in All-Stars I shall leave them out.

1. Eliza Orlins: You, obviously, deserve to make it into all stars. You're probably the smartest person to play in this season. You would have been sitting here if it wasn't for that last immunity challenge and my ass would have been the last juror. I think you've played an almost flawless game, with the exception of the immunity part. You had everything mapped out and everything right. You're a very calculating individual.

2. Amanda Kimmel: I think she does deserve all stars. She had a wonderful personality; sassy, witty, conniving. If I were watching this as a television show I'm sure she'd be my favorite. That's exactly what Amanda seems to me in this game. She seemed like a fan favorite. So what if she was slacking the physical department, she made up for that in the social part of the game and I'm sure her confessionals are to die for.

3. Greg Buis: I do think I deserve all stars, even if it sounds cocky. I won the most immunities in this season and I was pretty good at being social. I was in the minority on Banayri AND when we merged and it got down to the Final Five, old Kadarma still had the numbers over us Banayri and I still made it to Final Two, along with Amanda. I do think I over came quite a few odds, won the most immunities, and played a very good social game.


Explain me why in the world you felit like underdogs? IT was pre-merge, that's it. Your status changed, so it doesn't make sense.
Eliza, I do think I was an underdog once we merged as well. Kadarma didn't know who we were and Banayri didn't trust us. I would like to think that Amanda and I busted our asses to prove our loyalty to Kadarma so they wouldn't just pick us off. Amanda and I strategized for awhile on how we would survive on this merge and it somehow worked. Kadarma could have easily regrouped at Final 8 (pulling in Jeanne) and pickedo ff Banayri, one, two, and three. Maybe Amanda and I are overplaying the underdog card, but it's what I see.


Now, you know the 3 parts of the game. Challenges, socializing and strategizing. Explain me how you were better in those more than your opponent. It takes 2/3, so if you know you weren't better at one for sure, don't be too scared. This is very important, because I want the better one to win.

Challenges:
Alright, when we back on tribes I never sat out of one immunity. I'm a very competitive person and I love to compete so I gave 110% every time we had a challenge on Banayri. Amanda was on the tribe, she did sit out numerous times, but someone had to. Then once we merged I did managed to win four individual immunities Granted, one of them was luck of the draw, but if you take that one away I still managed to win the most in the game, whereas Amanda didn't win won.

Socializing:
Amanda did play a social, flirtatious game, but I do think I was one up on her. I played a very strong social game, and a better one because you know why? I only received one vote the entire game and that was because Jamie was threatened by me. Whenever an outcast had to vote for someone they would always tell me "I'm going to vote for the person I least know." And it would be Amanda. When Brook left he voted for Amanda. When Jamie left he voted for Amanda. When James left he voted for Amanda. When Alicia left she voted for Amanda. I'm not faulting her at all for receiving votes, but if the reason is because "I know her the least" that's not a good social game.

She seemed to be the vote when "no one knew who to vote for" so that's why I think I was better at her in the social aspect.

Strategizing:
Again, I don't want to sound cocky, but we both kinda did this. I would propose an idea to her, we'd talk it out, and then BAM! Our plan would work. She was partner throughout this entire game so I think we're on the same level as for strategizing.


I love you, Amanda. Don't hate me. <333

I really hope this answers your question, Eliza. I love you to death girl! <3

[Amanda Kimmel]

Let's say, had the person who was voted out was immune, who would have left? (Amanda, you answer first this one as wel as put reasons. If you answer it first, Greg, your chances to get my vote won't increase)

Okay here we go.

If Alicia was immune at Final 9, Jeanne would have been voted off. Because we all wanted Jeanne gone early merge because she dominated in all the challenges and knew exactly how to play the game.

If Stephenie was immune at Final 8, it would have been Jeanne voted off, because the same reason as above.

If Jeanne was immune at Final 7 it would have been James voted off because it was the JABEG 5 to the final 5 and James just didn't fit anywhere into the alliance. Even though I did try and help him numerous times.

If James was immune at Final 6, Jamie would have been voted off because I would have scrambled with James, told him that Jamie was a big threat, and then I would have spoken to you about it, and put ideas into Brook's head about voting for Jamie.

If Brook was immune at Fina 5, Jamie would have been voted off, no offense to Jamie but I did want a final 4 of Brook, Greg you and myself. I just thought Jamie and his last immunity wins; he could have gotten lucky and won himself to the very end, and I didn't want that to happen at all.

If Jamie was immune at Final 4, this would have been interesting I personally think it would have been a tie maybe. Between myself and you [Eliza] simply because myself and Greg spoke about you being in the final 3 with us but nothing more than that. But perhaps you and Jamie would have voted together for Greg over me? I don't know I am just saying me because I did get a lot of votes through the rounds and maybe you thought if the tie breaker was a challenge you could of beaten me (which you would have)

If Eliza was immune at Final 3, this would have also been interesting. I guess Greg would have been voted off because you would whip me at the final tribal council? But that's just in my eyes. I don't really know.

You have had plenty of time to get to know all of us. Give a description of all the jurors in the game. Like, it should be if they were to apply for Survivor. What's their name/age, if you know too. State what is their biggest strenght, what they are weakest at. Also, what kind of character they probably would be, if that strategy would work. (Like if they would be a bitch, challenge whore, puppet master. You know the roles)

Alicia: I didn't get to know Alicia that much, like we did speak on occasions but never really outside of game did we further who we were and what we do.
But Alicia's biggest strength was her ability to work hard and fast in challenges what required speed, she'd be the fast athletic survivor who everyone wants on there team. her weakest strength maybe would be when she got mad at her original tribe members and basically flipped with Jeanne and co. I thought people knew at that stage where they stood with her and what she was going to do next. I personally think Alicia would play like Alicia on survivor, she'd be the real hard ass working bitch who would wave her finger in someones face even if she didn't agree with them.

Stephenie: Luis, 18 years old (I hope, my age so we can sex). Stephenie was such a fierce cunt who gave it her all in everything. I mean I didn't see her real physical aspect come out, but I know she is a really tough competitor in challenges from other games. I think Stephenies biggest strength is being real and down to earth and not giving a puck (intentional) what anybody thinks. This could also trasnlate as her weakness as well because people may be offended by how real she is. I mean I was, ask Greg. I think if Stephenie were to be on survivor she'd be the bitch, the challenge whore and the person who wears there emotions on their sleeve.

Jeanne: Troy, 19 years old (wild guess). Jeanne was a strong mole who would dominate everything. I think her biggest strength was her ability to never give up no matter what situation she was in, and her physical aspect even being a wrinkley old prude. I don't think this is a weak aspect of Jeannes game but on the old Banayri tribe she tended to portray herself as the leader, and in some seasons of survivor they don't like that, so if she was to go on the real show maybe that would cause her demise or set herself up for a great finish and make the finals. It just depends. If Jeanne was on the show she'd be the leader and the challenge whore who would work hard.

James: Who cares. James was a bit of a flip flopper. I don't really know where his game was and what he was doing half the time. The biggest strength he has was his ability to put his neck out there and vote for whatever. I mean maybe that's not good but at least he was being real and voted whoever. His weakest strength was voting for certain people and then running to them and trying to suck up there ass. I mean he can deny it, but he did this to me on several occasions. I kind of laughed at it because I felt like once he found himself in the minority he wanted to get back in with majority and it didn't work for him. It was like what happened to Eliza in Micronesia, a little too late. If he was on the show he would play the UTR "wannabe" puppet master.

Brook The thing is I didn't get to know Brook on a personal level because Jamie knew my real identity, and I had to keep it hidden from Brook because I didn't want it to leak out. Because I told Jamie my name was "Jessica" original huh? But I was so close to Brook I didn't want to lie to him and tell him something I'm not, because I didn't want to lie to him flat out. So I didn't know him on a personal level. I think Brook's biggest strength was that he played his heart out and was such a sweetheart. His weakest strength like me was his physical aspect, doing challenges, wasn't great for him but he knew how to socialise/ize and play his cards right. If Brook were to go on Survivor he would play a role in an alliance being the sweetheart who everyone loves and adores. Just like Elisabeth Filarski-Hasslehumpback.

Jamie: The same with Brook, I didn't want to know Jamie on a personal level because he knew my real identity and I didn't want it to get out because of my supposed "infamous reputation" I steared clear from any conversation with Jamie what may have exploited who I was and who he was. It was nothing personal just apart of my game. I think Jamie's biggest strength is that he knew where he stood with people, when he had to win immunity and what he had to do to advance himself in the game, he was a very game orientated player and he played the chess game correctly. I think his biggest weakness was posing himself as a big immunity whore threat at the very end of the game. Because he started showing MORE hunger and MORE passion for the win that people were intimidated and scared. I think if he was to go on Survivor he would play like the Amanda Kimmel, very slick and laid back and then BAM at the last minute be the turtle who wins the race over the hare.

Eliza: I thought you were Alex who is 18 years old, but I am totally wrong. I have no idea, maybe you are some sexy beast. But I couldn't tell you my identity because I tried to keep it all personal, everyone did in this game. I only told Zack who I was and my freaking mistake but I told Jeanne pregame, I was just talking to Troy and I knew he was Ramona from season 2 so I told him I was in season 3 and who I was playing as, so he knew who I was and I know how my alias and identity was leaked out . However Eliza you had so many strengths across the board; you were strong, you were social and you played the game smart. However your weakness I don't know, because I felt like you would of and could of made the end had you of stucked with the Kads, I don't really know your reasoning behind voting Brook and Jamie out over me and Greg but I think that if you went with Brook and Jamie, you could have won this game hands down. I think if you went on Survivor you'd be the golden child like J.T in Tocantins who would sit back, win some immunities, play it cool, have your alliance, work hard and make it to the end and you'd be so loveable everyone would vote for you FTW.

Now, list who you think deserves to make All-Stars. That's not really important, it won't decide my vote, in that meaning, but I want to see your opinion. It has to be 3-5 people. Also, what would their description be if they were to make AS? Explain.

I am going to say people who HAVEN'T been selected for AllStars.
Eliza I think you deserved it because you came in this game as a replacement, you gave it your all and you didn't give up. You had a gameplan and you stuck right to it, you were loyal and you got screwed right at the very end. God hate's third place people who really should have made the finals, so he will give you a second chance in allstars. HINT PASCALINE BONGO.

Greg was amazing in this game, and nobody can doubt or deny that. Golden boy. He worked it well and flaunted it, he was very UTR and had plans in mind and always was thinking ahead.

Amanda I am putting myself here because I feel like me and Greg were the perfect duo, the tag team who wanted it badly, worked hard for it from the start and we got it and we were against the odds, it is poetic. Why not have the perfect duo back for Allstars?

Alicia she was a bitch with attitude and we love bitches.

James I am only going to say James as a replacement or a backup, people may not agree but I am sure Pascaline would love drama in her seasons with an Amanda Vs. James showdown. Let the livid one win.

So my final picks would be: Eliza, Greg, Amanda and Alicia with a backup of James. Thats 4-5.

Explain me why in the world you felit like underdogs? IT was pre-merge, that's it. Your status changed, so it doesn't make ense.

Well we were underdogs, I mean we had no alliances on Banayri they were all tight tight and it was me and Greg left out. We knew we would be the next two to be voted off. Coming into merger we flipped sides, and you've seen how it goes in other seasons. Look at what happened to dickhead Erinn in Tocantins, we kind of had the odds against us. Flipping with the original kads we thought we wouldn't make it to the end and that by helping the original kads you guys would do whatever it takes to get your people to the finals. I thought we would turn out like Brendan and Sierra, being shunned off working together (which happened) we worked so tight together but the outcome was different, we made the final 2 but I thought me and Greg would only make final 5-6.
So I guess it was an assumption, but really, we did have the odds against us.

Now, you know the 3 parts of the game. Challenges, socializing and strategizing. Explain me how you were better in those more than your opponent. It takes 2/3, so if you know you weren't better at one for sure, don't be too scared. This is very important, because I want the better one to win.

Challenges I was OKAY on at Banayri I stepped it up and did the challenges what I participated in very well at. I worked hard, but coming into merger as you can read it in my confessionals, I didn't want to appear like an immunity whore and pose the tripple threat thing. So it was my own fault for being shit at the challenges, but it was apart of my strategy.

Socialising/izing. I thought I did well at because I got the time to speak to every single person at merge and got to know a little bit about them and I kind of figured out who was with who and what people were doing.

Strategy wise I played the social butterfly. Once I found out who my true allies were it didn't mean I would stop talking to the minority. I played the very honest game, I told Jeanne I was voting her out and I felt like I worked hard to be here. But my strategy was to play low and go UTR, maybe it wasn't the best strategy to play but it worked for me and I am in the final 2.
Playing the game I played with the "onion strategy" as I like to call it. I made a duo/very tight pact with Greg, and then in another layer I had an alliance with you, Jamie and Greg and then in the other layer I had James up to a certain point before he went on an I hate Amanda rampage. I kind of gossiped a bit and found out everything about everyone, that's why my hair is so big...it's full of secrets. I guess I played a Gretchen Weiners/Gossip Girl strategy. Which I think is very livid.


Sorry if this sucks Eliza, my eyes are killing me and my throat is so sore!
good luck with your decision girl

[Amanda Kimmel]

lmao Greg it's cool I <3 you.

[Greg Buis]

Bump.

I edited my post and did the first question.

[Eliza Orlins]

Alright, thanks you two, I liked your answers. If I think of any others (while waiting on Alicia to post hers), I will post it here. I wish you the best of luck!

[Amanda Kimmel]

Thanks Eliza good luck!
