[Linda]

Also Linda, don't forget the bonus end-question.

Hmm..I'd say our relationship was like that of Chase and Brenda(you being Brenda)

If this gets me any votes, yay.

But here's a cool haircut.

Hey Jeff, it says "til 10c" in the Tree Mail, but are we going to finish this tonight?(the questions, not the votes obvs)

Also Linda, don't forget the bonus end-question.

Thanks!

I'm intrigued. And since Lindsey hasn't answered could you quickly explain why you thought we were as close as Chase/Brenda were? From my perspective, we sorta worked together out of convenience and you were awesome to talk to but strategically I never felt we were as intense as they were.

[Lindsey]

OH MY FUCKING GOD MY BROWSER JUST SHUT DOWN AND I LOST ALL MY ANSWERS TO PATRICIA

[Lindsey]

OMG FALSE ALARM MY BROWSER DECIDED TO STOP BEING STUPID AND REBOOTED WITH THE TEXT IN TACT... I HAVE ONE QUESTION LEFT

[Jeff Probst]

Just continue if you can.

I will continue posting questions if the jurors aren't here. You can continue answering tonight if you cant answer tomorrow. Votes wont be due until tomorrow afternoon.

Hmm I don't think any comparison is perfect, I don't think we were quite as close. From my perspective we worked together not just out of convenience but because we did genuinely like each other. At least it was that way for me, I obviously cannot speak for yourself. But if you compare the characters of the player themselves it works. Brenda in Nicaragua was a strong, fun, dominant force, and Chase was beneath her, always freaking out about something, and nearly letting his emotions wreck his game. He did however, make a good game move in voting out his close friend in Brenda.

thank God

[Jeff Probst]

cmon Lindsey, just post hte answers you have...

[Lindsey]

Lindsey:
1. Can you give me your perception of me and my threat level at different points of the game? Like, since we met at NuMariche, give me a round by round analysis of what you thought about me, how big of a threat you thought I was, and if at any point you genuinely considered taking me to the end.

2. Were our casual talks fun? Or were they just social game?

3. Do you think that you had as much, or more control in this game than Gabe?

4. Compare each member of the jury to a Gym Leader from the pokemon games. Give reasoning.

A question for all three of you

Compare our relationship in this game to a relationship in Survivor.

1. Alright, good question. To me, our relationship can be separated into four different phases, as my thoughts about you during certain portions of the game didn't change during some rounds.

Part I - NuMariche (F14, F13)

I was but a helpless sheep being led to slaughter on NuMariche. A minority who didn't have power. We talked constantly during this portion of the game. It started out having nothing to do with the game, but eventually we warmed up to each other enough on a personal level that game talk began to naturally segue from it. I liked you and trusted you a lot already, a lot of it being based on instinct as we had yet to attend a Tribal Council together. I can't say I was considering going to the end with you though because my mind hadn't even thought about such things. I considered you a threat due to you probably being the most strategically apt and chatty on NuMariche, but at that point, threat level wasn't very important to me. I knew I wanted to work with you, but i wasn't sure about how far I wanted to go with it yet because I didn't know who I would reconnect with from my original tribe at the merge.

Part II - Early Merge (F12, F11)

This was the point in the game where I trusted you the most and you rivaled Gina as someone who I considered my closest ally. We communicated CONSTANTLY at this point in the game on a personal and game level and I trusted you 110%. At this point, you were for sure in my ideal final 3 and I wanted to go to the end with you, regardless of how threatening you might have been at that point.

Part III - Skepticism (F10)

After the Sean blindside failed the previous round, Sarah and I compared notes and found out that you were basically aligned with everyone. Although I was still pretty confident that I trusted you, I began to realize that you might not have had my best interests in mind. Plus, i was slightly suspicious that you were the one who leaked the Sean vote. This is when sirens began to sound in my head that you were a huge threat and calling the shots.

Part IV - The End (F9, F8, F7)

After the Kim P vote, I no longer trusted you. I still liked you and I liked talking to you but I knew it would be foolish of me to trust you again after that. I also knew you and Gabe pretty much had sole control of how the next vote would turn out and I didn't want to go so I didn't let on that I no longer trusted you. I saw you as a massive threat. After the Vecepia vote, Sean made it clear that he didn't trust you either and we activated the deal we had been talking about the previous round due to a mutual desire to work together... As well as feeling mutually threatened by you. I was no longer considering taking you to the end by this point and saw you as a huge roadblock to get there due to your strategic and social prowess.

2. Fun, for sure. As I said it my last answer to Sarah, my strategic moves do NOT reflect how I felt about you people. If this was just based off of how much I liked people, I would probably have wanted you to be sitting up here with me, because I enjoyed our talks a lot and I felt they were genuine. And TBH that was partially a key to my game... Talking to people wasn't purely social game for me because I'm pretty naturally chatty and enjoyed talking to all of you anyway.

3. I'm going to be honest... NO. I do not believe I was in as much control of the game as Gabriel was. To say otherwise would be inaccurate. HOWEVER, I do believe I had to fight harder. Let's go back to Vecepia's question, where she cited me as the luckiest member of the final 3.

Because of luck and how things out of my control panned out, it was never an option for me in the first half of the merge to be in control. I didn't have the tools - Gabe did. Gabe didn't get swapped into the minority of a foreign tribe and have to fight his way into their good graces. Gabe didn't have to be worried about Sean and Vecepia like I did since he already knew them at the merge. These tools gave him a leg up on being in control - a leg up that I couldn't really have. But despite not being in control, I never layed down and died. I was always fighting and always trying to make things happen, no matter what position I was in.

4. Kim J - Erika - Kim J was just an effusively positive and feisty MORP presence like Erika.

Clarence -

OUR RELATIONSHIP AND SURVIVOR:

Jenna Morasca and Deena Bennett would be my best estimate - with you as Deena and myself as Jenna. We were as close as close could be for most of the game. But as Deena betrayed Jenna's trust when she tried to target Alex, you betrayed mine when you took out Kim P and then targeted me and I realized it was no longer in our best interests to work together and I voted you out.

[Lindsey]

Okay there's what I have so far Jeff, just keep going. I'm sorry I'm taking so long. I'll go back and finish question 4 tonight once this is done

[Patricia]

Fair enough. Thanks Linda/Gabe and Lindsey so far. No rush though

You've definitely made my decision that much tougher so in that sense, fuck you but at still, best of luck.

[Jeff Probst]

Okay great.

Next Up, Idol King Sean!

[Sean]

Congrats Final 3 on making it to the end! I'm glad that i got a chance to play and talk with all three of you, and want you to know that I genuinely respect each of you and the game you played. Tonight my vote is completely up in the air. So, this means how you answer mine and other player's jury questions will determine my vote. I assume all the other jurors will be posting some good questions and I don't want to repeat any of them so I'll make mine a little unique and also please respond to my comments about you....

Gabe, on day one I made an alliance with you and you were to be my Pikachu and I your Ash Ketchum with you fighting the war with every move I called out. However this ended really fast, as thing turned south and we split. However, I want you to know that our alliance ending poorly will not effect my vote, in fact in might even help it because i respect that you had the initiative to make moves for yourself. You may be blond, but I think you have a better head on your shoulders then people think.

-Question-
If you (as gabe your avatar) could grow any type of mustache in the world, what style would it be, and do you think having it would have benefitted or hindered you in this game and how wpuld have it affected your biggest move? (imagine it in your post picture every time you post something)


Linda, I would like to relate you to a pencil because I feel like you have a lot in common with one. Like a pencil you were used by everyone. Whether it be to draw a connection to other players or erase players from the game they no longer wanted. People used you knowing that you were no good at challenges, and someone that they perceived as easily manipulated. Now your probably reading this in a negative way. But what I think is so unique about you is that you KNEW your purpose in the game was to be used by people and you played it up. You let people tell you everything and gathered your info. Then erased the players from the game one by one, knowing that in the end you would be sitting in the final three.

-Question-
#2 pencils seem to be the most popular pencils in the world, yet they are still #2. They should be #1, but for some reason people still are #2. I want you to tell me how your game was like a #2 pencil, and unlike the #2 pencil, you come you should stop being thought of as #2, and start being called #1. (And no fairy tale crap about how #2 is based of the density of the lead inside)


Lindsey, had you asked me the seconds after I'd been voted off who I would want to win, I would have said you. You were someone I thought was a fierce competitor in both the challenges and social arena. I honestly think I clicked with you the fastest (maybe besides Patty Cakes)And when you voted out Gina I was like this girl has done it all! But the more I think about your game, the more I think how voting for you would be like giving money to a deaf kid to buy an ipod. It's just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What did you really do? I'm hoping that this will be explained in your speech and answers to others but if not please note what these were.

-Question-
Can you please relate your journey and gameplay to a Disney princess's story, rate the princess on a scale of 1-10 in attractivness, and how your ending should be like theres or not like theirs?



Thank you, and best of luck to you three! <3

Had to throw that in there to make this longer than necessary.
