Mikayla Questions

[Mikayla Wingle]

Brandon - Why did you vote me off? You never replied everytime I asked you. Also, do you think you honestly deserve too be in the final 3 over everyone that got voted off?

Papa Bear - Beside winning redemption duels, why do you think you should be 'Sole Survivor' over Rick and Brandon?

Rick - If you got too choose 2 other people too sit beside you who would it be?

Papa Bear - Beside winning redemption duels, why do you think you should be 'Sole Survivor' over Rick and Brandon?

To be honest, if anyone is considering voting for me simply because I was able to string together a few wins on Redemption Island, I would prefer him or her to consider voting for someone else.

If you vote for me, I hope it will be because you think I invested an unparalled amount of passion and effort into the game. No offense to my competitors, but I think it is safe to say that I poured more of myself and my time into the game. From day one, I really wanted this and refused to be stopped short of my goal. I think passion is the most important thing to play the game with. From challenges to socializing on AIM to my investment in confessionals, I feel like my passion for winning this game has been undeniable from day one.

If you vote for me, I hope it will be because you recognized my consistency. There was never a time in the game when I went missing for a few days. For that matter, I don't think there was ever a time in the game where I put up a half-hearted performance. I'm proud of the way I played the game consistently from start to finish, regardless of what the game threw my way.

If you vote for me, I hope it will be because you felt like you had a connection with me. Whether it be staying up all hours of the night working on challenges or simply having small talk while on Redemption Island together, I hope none of you feel like you have no clue who I am.

If you vote for me, I hope it will be because you saw that when I returned to the game, there was no drop off in performance. I came back into the game and was extremely active socially and was able to work my way back into the game with a tight bond with Rick. I won a challenge and made a significant decision that really pained me to do but did nonetheless because part of playing and winning this game is making those tough decisions that force you to separate your heart and your head.

If the only reason anyone has for voting for me is my string of six Redemption Island wins, then I can live with you voting for Rick or Brandon instead.

Rick - If you got too choose 2 other people too sit beside you who would it be?

Shinji Mikami and Steve Jobs.

But of players in the game, It would be you, Mikayla, and Sophie.

So I've been waiting for this. I am actually expecting you would ask me this question.

Let me share the whole story behind it. So remember the time when I asked you about a possible alliance between me, you, Sophie and Rick? Yeah, I was the one who approached you after Coach said that some playing are just playing "goats" so I wanted to prove to him that we're not like that. It's just that, me personally, I want to keep a quiet but aggressive game. Anyway, so yeah, you agreed to build the alliance with me. I was sincerely wanna keep the alliance for the long time, but didn't happen.

So during the round that you were voted out, the plan was originally to split the votes between Cochran and Elyse to force a tie and vote Elyse eventually. So I was actually decided that I'm gonna vote Cochran. But things got really interesting. I heard rumors that if ever we already got rid of the Savaii members, you guys are voting me out next (and Stacey), so to me, it's not fair. So I have to do something about that and here it is, the best plan is to vote you out. At first, I was hesitant about that because I really wanna keep the alliance, but I have to think of myself, think of what could happen if I vote with you. To be honest, I felt really bad after the vote. I told Stacey (my closest ally) about that. I wasn't replying to you because my plan is to tell you the reason if I get voted off, or if I reach the final 3.

Honestly, I think I deserve to be in the final 3 over MOST of you in the jury. I said most because I know if someone like Cochran or Sophie is sitting right next to me, they would win. That's why sometimes, we have to get rid of these people who you know are threats to you. Everyone would do that, I guess. I genuinely believe that I am deserving to be here sitting in front of all with all the things I've done in this game and I deserve to win too.
