Taylor's Questions & Statements

[Admin]

This is where Taylor will address any questions he has for the Final 3 or make any statements he wishes to share.

Hey guys. Congrats on Final 3!! This has been a long ass road. So well done.

Henry

My man! So glad to see you in the Final 3. So many people had things against you. And I wanted to stick by your side. I enjoyed having you around. Really the main problem was wanting to be with you AND Faith. Cause clearly that was one dysfunctional relationship. In the end I picked you, and ultimately that may have fucked up my game. But in anycase, I'm glad you have a chance to defend yourself to all the haters.

some questions

1. I know you told one or two lies in this game. And I know you lied to me on a few occasions. Luckily you came clean each time, and typically I understood. It was to benefit both of us. So tell me every lie you told me, and state whether or not you came clean to me.

2. Had I been online when you cracked the code for the third idol, would you have let me claim it?

3. Did you have any idea at all that I was getting votes the round I left?

4. Who would you have wanted in the F3 with us, and how do you think the vote would go.

5. I think every juror needs some recognition. And I'd like to see how you all know your jury and their game. So here is your task.
- Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game.
- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.
- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.


Emily

1. If I hadn't gone for the idol, would I have still gone that round?

2. Explain your game to me in a paragraph. You were very quiet in my opinion. And I really struggle to see why my vote should go your way. So convince me. And remember. I have a short attention span.

3. I think every juror needs some recognition. And I'd like to see how you all know your jury and their game. So here is your task.
- Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game.
- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.
- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.


Annie

1. Were you being honest with me when you said you would change the vote in the re-vote?

2. Again I really struggle to see why you should get my vote over Henry. And your opening statement was fucking long. If you deserve to win, you should be able to convince me quickly. 1 paragraph. Sell your self.

3. I think every juror needs some recognition. And I'd like to see how you all know your jury and their game. So here is your task.
- Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game.
- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.
- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.




Congrats on making it to the end.

[annie]

1. Were you being honest with me when you said you would change the vote in the re-vote?

Yes. At first. But things change, Taylor, and you know that. I didn't want to hurt you but it ended up being best for me. You know you weren't gonna go to the end with me.

2. Again I really struggle to see why you should get my vote over Henry. And your opening statement was fucking long. If you deserve to win, you should be able to convince me quickly. 1 paragraph. Sell your self.

I deserve to win because, unlike Henry who had to rely on immunity wins and idols, I relied on myself to get me through the game. Like Emily said, at final 8 or so I was in the best position socially. I was connected with every member of the game and knew everything everyone was thinking. Everyone thought I was helping them, when really they were all helping me. I think I controlled much more of the game postmerge than anyone else.

3. - Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game

9. Quinn.
8. Peter.
7. Chad.
6.Murphy.
5. Zoe.
4. Ingrid.
3. Wendy.
2. Taylor.
1. Faith.

- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.

9. Quinn = Greg Buis. This chick is crazy and unpredictable. It was sad she disappeared.
8. Peter = Clarence Black. He clearly was barely important and he wasn't in a majority alliance on his tribe. I never even heard him speak.
7. Chad = Whitney Duncan. Everyone on his tribe liked him, but the rest of the game saw nothing from him since he just talked to people in the beginning and assumed he'd be just fine going to the end.
6.Murphy = Grant Mattos. He was physically capable and had a tight alliance with a member of the game who controlled the votes and made finals, but that ally had to turn on him for her own game sooner or later.
5. Zoe = Brenda Lowe. She had a great social game going on and was very fucking hot, but her social game ended up being her downfall.
4. Ingrid = Christina Cha. She had a much bigger personality premerge, but during merge she kinda sat back and just did what she was told to do.
3. Wendy = Eliza Orlins. She was super outspoken and opinionated and didn't care if she got in fights all the time.
2. Taylor = Taj Johnson. Very good at the game, capable of swaying votes, had a great pull. Had a right hand man in Henry (Kenny).
1. Faith = Stephani LaGrossa (Guatemala). She controlled a lot of the game but got fucked over in the end because she had made so many enemies.

- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.

Taylor, Faith, Zoe.
Taylor would get the votes of Ingrid, Henry,
Zoe would get the votes of Wendy, Peter, Chad, Murphy.
Faith would get the votes of Emily, Annie, Quinn.

In the end, Zoe would win.

[Emily]

Thanks for the congrats Taylor!

1. If I hadn't gone for the idol, would I have still gone that round?

In my mind it was 50/50 between you and Ingrid that round. Then Annie and I found out that the idol had been found, and you potentially having it made it an easy choice. You still might have gone that round if you had not gone for the idol though, it was really 50/50 for me.


2. Explain your game to me in a paragraph. You were very quiet in my opinion. And I really struggle to see why my vote should go your way. So convince me. And remember. I have a short attention span.

I started out very laid back, UTR, and didn't feel very relevant until the Final 9, except in the tribal challenges. Then I started playing hard, and made moves that gave me a lot of power in this game. In almost every vote, I had a huge say in who was going to go home, and at the Final 5 I was in a position where I believe everyone saw me as part of their ideal Final 3.


3. I think every juror needs some recognition. And I'd like to see how you all know your jury and their game. So here is your task.
- Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game.

1. Wendy ~ She has always been very visible, bold and upfront, and had a lot of jurors cheering for her I believe.
2. Ingrid ~ She was one of the smartest players in the game and always had a huge amount of information on what's going on. Most aware player out of everyone.
3. Faith ~ She was the head bitch in charge until the Final 9 round. She was a social butterfly and had more power in this game than anyone else. She made her move against Henry a little too early which cost her the game.
4. Murphy ~ He was in an interesting position the whole time, and was a sway vote a couple of times.
5. Taylor ~ You were just kind of there, and I thought you were quiet too. Perhaps we missed opportunities to talk.
6. Zoe ~ She relied a lot on Faith I think; had she talked to me before the Final 9 then maybe I could have been swayed to keep her.
7. Chad ~ He took initiatives in starting conversations which I liked, but in the end couldn't convince Quinn and Annie to keep him
8. Peter ~ I heard he was cut because he said he was close to Wendy; that was risky to say.
9. Quinn ~ Went MIA even though she probably couldn't help it.


- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.

Ingrid - Taj Johnson (Tocantins) ~ Taj was part of the Jalapao Three like Ingrid was part of the Ventus Three, and in the end got screwed over by her two allies. Taj also was very aware, and had a lot of social ties that gave her a lot of information on everything that was going on.

Wendy - Peih-Gee Law (China) ~ Both were the last surviving from their original tribe. Both had quite some power in the game and did the right thing to make it as far as they did.

Murphy - Penner (Philippines) ~ Comparing Murphy specifically to Penner in Philippines. Had Ingrid not won that immunity, then she might have been the vote instead of Murphy. That's pretty similar to how Penner just left. Both had a solid partner in the game, but in the end they didn't have enough numbers and were too threatening.

Taylor - Kat Edorsson (One World) ~ Both of you were blindsided at the Final 7. Both of you had quite some ties and connections in the game, and I remember Kat considering the option of voting out Kim in a similar way that you mentioned keeping an open mind with respect to voting out Henry.

Faith - Brenda Lowe (Nicaragua) ~ Both are hawt and both had so much potential, but then the game took a turn and both ended up in the worst possible position. When they found out they were the vote they didn't really give it much of a fight because they knew they were done.

Zoe - Corinne Kaplan (Gabon) ~ Both didn't care about being a bitch and being upfront to people. Both of their eliminations were kind of expected even though the rounds in which they left were interesting.

Quinn - James Clement (Micronesia) ~ Both were kind of medivaced, while there was still a lot of game left to play. I think both would have gone a lot further had they stayed in the game.

Peter - Gretchen Cordy (Borneo) ~ Both were the second member of a Pagonging, or what looked like was going to be a Pagonging.

Chad - Keith Tollefson (South Pacific) ~ Both had potential, but left early merge because of someone changing their vote in a tie vote.


- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.

Ok I'll assume Wendy would have gone at the Final 7, and Ingrid/Taylor/Murphy would have been Final 3 because Murphy won the Final 4 immunity. Breakdown of the votes:

Emily votes Ingrid
Henry/Faith vote Taylor
Annie/Wendy/Zoe/Quinn/Peter/Chad vote Murphy
Murphy wins.

My man Taylor! I wish you were sittin next to me and not asking a question, but what can ya do. I do feel awful that it seems like you did take the fall just for aligning with me. That being said I did appreciate our relationship/friendship throughout the game and I was happy to work with you throughout.

1. I know you told one or two lies in this game. And I know you lied to me on a few occasions. Luckily you came clean each time, and typically I understood. It was to benefit both of us. So tell me every lie you told me, and state whether or not you came clean to me.

First, I do want to explain one thing that you might think is a lie but its a total truth. My vote in Round 1 for Owen was 100% because I was drunk and I forgot to make a Violet vote, haha. I know that's what I explained to you guys, but it didn't really feel like you believed me while I know was partly why I was a target in Round 2.

Ok, yeah I did lie about a couple things, but not that much really:

- The Crest/First "idol". Yeah I totally lied about having an idol the first time. As I've explained previously, Jackie found out I cracked into that forum and she thought I did have an idol. She spilled the beans to me that I was being gunned for, so I went into survival mode. She offered me Faith's name as a replacement target, and so I used those statements to pit those two girls against each other. I did it only to make sure I wasn't going to be the second person voted off. Unfortunately, once I started with that lie I had to keep it going because I was concerned that Faith would be really mad about it.

- Finding the final idol. Technically it wasn't really a lie, I guess. You really didn't respond to me when I IM'd you about it, but I guess the whole thing was only slightly deceitful in that I ended up with it after we discussed you getting to have it that last time.

- A different final 3. I made a separate Final 3 with Ingrid/Emily at some point mid-merge. My ideal F3 would of absolutely had you in it, but I never told you about this other deal.

I THINK that's pretty much the extent of any lies I told to you unless I'm forgetting something.

2. Had I been online when you cracked the code for the third idol, would you have let me claim it?

Honestly, yeah, but I would have made you tell a 3rd person about it as well. I wanted to sure up a Final 3 in the following round and use the idol as a "team idol" anyway since it had to expire at the F6.

3. Did you have any idea at all that I was getting votes the round I left?

Nope. I would have saved you with the idol if I knew.

4. Who would you have wanted in the F3 with us, and how do you think the vote would go.

My ideal Final 3 was Me/You/Ingrid. I think this would have been a favorable matchup for me since people paired us up together all season (we were all hated by the evils), but I had idols and immunities to my name.

5. I think every juror needs some recognition. And I'd like to see how you all know your jury and their game. So here is your task.
- Rank every juror in terms of gameplay. One being the best game.
- Relate each juror to someone from Survivor. Explain why you picked that character.
- Make a new F3 out of the jurors, and break down the vote.

a)
Faith
Zoe
Murphy
Taylor
Ingrid
Quinn
Wendy
Peter
Chad

b)

Chad - Chad is kinda like one of those males that get picked off at the start of the merge in many seasons. I'll say he's Keith from South Pacific.


Peter - Again, fine player, wrong side of the game. I'll say he's Jonasfrom One World.


Quinn - The flipper! She caused the ousting of Peter and Chad so she could work with Faith and Annie. I'll say she's Cochran from South Pacific.


Zoe - I would say that Zoe isn't afraid to tell it like it is. She also displayed some gameplay, but ultimately things just didn't work out. I would say she's like Jerri from Australia, All Stars, and HvV.


Faith - Faith was controversial, out there, and aggressive. She also, though, showed a lot of capability as a player. I would say Faith was the Russell Hantz of the season.


Taylor - I will say you're like Lex from Africa and All Stars. You are a good player, but you lost just for being a trusting ally.


Murphy - I think Murphy was like Rob C. from Survivor Amazon and All Stars. Murphy did win some puzzle challenges, but no one really looked as him as someone who HAD to go. That's because he was socially competent and remained calm. He wasn't afraid to jump ship, tho I think he did it one too many times this season when he didn't vote with us in the Final 7.


Wendy - This won't be a flattering comparison, but I would say Wendy was kinda like the Abi of this season. Wendy was loud and confident when things were going her way, but pretty woe is me when things were looking down. Wendy wasn't often a factor in competitions, and so she stayed for a pretty long time.


Ingrid - I really like this player, so I hope she does too. Ingrid was the Taj of this season. My memory is kinda foggy on this season, but I remember Taj being loyal to Stephen, but she got cut out at the Final 4.

c)
This one I don't really understand. Do I pick anyone from the jury to put as the Final 3? Ok.... I'll pick You/Ingrid/Faith the 3 good not in the F3.

I think Faith would get the votes from all of the evil players (6) and well as Annie to total 7. I think you would have gotten my vote, and Ingrid would get Emily's. The vote would be 7-1-1.

Phew that was a lot. Thanks Taylor!

[taylor]

Thanks you guys!

Best of luck.

[Faith Full]

I'm so flattered by all you bitches thinking I'd make it far. I've never made it past 7th in any game. #tyayme.
